The next semester, the same teacher called again. The student denied it, but we reset the password anyway - something that wouldn’t be guessable. After all, the software claimed it was secure. I came to the conclusion that the student had guessed the teacher’s password. “I think one of my students changed his grade in the computer somehow.” Not long into the job I got an odd request from a teacher… If I could sum it up in one picture, it’d be something like this: The equipment was dusty and dying, the server closets were a tangled mess of wires, and nobody had given much of a thought to security. I was responsible for four thousand computers across ten locations, and the network was an absolute disaster.
One of my earliest computer jobs was as a network administrator for a school district.
