Well, there was this one incident. As some of you know, wireless networks use this encryption called WEP - wireless encryption protocol. So one day, I hear about this security vulnerability in WEP, something to do with timing. So trying to be like the elite script kiddies on alt.2600, I take some C code to exploit it, modify it a little, and eventually I own the whole network. Someone in campus security sees that something is wrong, and since they can't figure out what's going on, they call in the Kappa Delta incident response team. They find my hack, run it through a decompiler, and recover the original source code. They guessed it was me by looking at the comments and variable names. The Kappa Deltas were really annoyed because some of the sharpest members, the ones who knew how to dial up to the Internet with AOL, had to spend a whole weekend fixing WEP and removing the vulnerability. I guess KD considered this problem behavior.
