1
00:00:00,116 --> 00:00:01,835
when i was 13 years old

2
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,703
i singlehandedly took down

3
00:00:03,703 --> 00:00:05,505
the whole school it system

4
00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:14,414
It was a rainy day

5
00:00:14,414 --> 00:00:15,448
cold

6
00:00:15,448 --> 00:00:17,217
Perfect for computer class

7
00:00:17,217 --> 00:00:17,867
Perfect

8
00:00:17,867 --> 00:00:19,085
for some undercover

9
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:20,236
slavic cheeki breeki

10
00:00:20,236 --> 00:00:21,454
and hackerman boris

11
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:22,455
was about to be born

12
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:24,074
now this was early 2000s

13
00:00:24,074 --> 00:00:26,059
there were about 30 computers

14
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:27,560
total in the whole Eastern Bloc

15
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,361
at this point

16
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:29,512
and for some reason

17
00:00:29,512 --> 00:00:31,648
20 of them was in my school

18
00:00:31,648 --> 00:00:32,816
now this was some regular

19
00:00:32,816 --> 00:00:34,134
regional school

20
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:35,251
the barrier for entry

21
00:00:35,251 --> 00:00:36,653
was literally a pulse

22
00:00:36,653 --> 00:00:38,421
hello are you breathing?

23
00:00:38,421 --> 00:00:39,355
good. welcome.

24
00:00:39,355 --> 00:00:40,190
i never found out

25
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:41,574
where these computers came from

26
00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:42,742
but i do know

27
00:00:42,742 --> 00:00:43,760
that at least two of them

28
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,045
were stolen the next year

29
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:46,513
along with the school stereo

30
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:47,647
that is the type of school

31
00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:48,381
I went to

32
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:49,332
But that is a story 

33
00:00:49,332 --> 00:00:50,250
for another time

34
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,835
some people steal pens

35
00:00:51,835 --> 00:00:53,219
some toilet paper

36
00:00:53,219 --> 00:00:54,537
some steal my time

37
00:00:54,537 --> 00:00:56,239
by forcing me to learn computers

38
00:00:56,239 --> 00:00:57,257
at age 13

39
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:57,824
Let me tell you

40
00:00:57,824 --> 00:00:59,275
at 13 i was already

41
00:00:59,275 --> 00:01:01,144
computer hacker mastermind

42
00:01:01,144 --> 00:01:02,645
i opened word

43
00:01:02,645 --> 00:01:03,463
paint

44
00:01:03,863 --> 00:01:04,748
internet explorer

45
00:01:04,748 --> 00:01:05,965
like nobody’s business

46
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:07,617
life was good

47
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,953
and i had already solidified

48
00:01:09,953 --> 00:01:10,887
at this point

49
00:01:10,887 --> 00:01:13,606
my title as the family It expert

50
00:01:14,257 --> 00:01:14,724
Yes

51
00:01:14,724 --> 00:01:16,159
we even had a printer

52
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:17,460
and internet

53
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:19,012
I was unstoppable

54
00:01:19,179 --> 00:01:20,113
so one day

55
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:21,898
out of blue fucking sky

56
00:01:21,898 --> 00:01:22,999
the school announce

57
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:24,067
that There will be

58
00:01:24,067 --> 00:01:25,051
it class

59
00:01:25,051 --> 00:01:26,619
for the more computer oriented

60
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:27,670
slavs of us

61
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:28,988
i’m thinking great

62
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,473
i can finally show off

63
00:01:30,473 --> 00:01:32,392
some of my ms paint skill

64
00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:33,610
i sign up for it

65
00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:34,761
first lesson comes around

66
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:35,478
eventually

67
00:01:35,478 --> 00:01:36,379
In some weeks

68
00:01:36,379 --> 00:01:38,481
around 20 kids in the class

69
00:01:38,581 --> 00:01:39,699
and this is mixed class

70
00:01:39,699 --> 00:01:41,134
of different grades

71
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:42,018
otherwise they could not

72
00:01:42,018 --> 00:01:43,703
fill the class if they tried

73
00:01:43,703 --> 00:01:44,437
so there i am

74
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:45,271
ready

75
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:46,439
teacher tells us

76
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,657
Okay, everybody switch on

77
00:01:47,657 --> 00:01:48,808
their computer

78
00:01:48,808 --> 00:01:49,843
me and one more kid

79
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:50,960
from my class

80
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,112
from my grade

81
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:53,563
Let's call him maksim

82
00:01:53,563 --> 00:01:54,898
instantly switch on

83
00:01:54,898 --> 00:01:55,682
our computers

84
00:01:55,682 --> 00:01:56,449
Naturally

85
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:57,083
the rest of class

86
00:01:57,083 --> 00:01:58,334
look at us two

87
00:01:58,535 --> 00:02:00,186
like we just invented fire

88
00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:01,738
teacher, unimpressed

89
00:02:01,738 --> 00:02:03,356
good to help everybody else

90
00:02:03,356 --> 00:02:04,324
Switching theirs on

91
00:02:04,324 --> 00:02:05,358
this is early 2000s

92
00:02:05,358 --> 00:02:06,092
so most people

93
00:02:06,092 --> 00:02:07,527
never seen a computer at all

94
00:02:07,527 --> 00:02:08,628
Not adults

95
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:09,963
not to mention children

96
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:11,397
in my computer at home

97
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:13,082
was some mid 90s box

98
00:02:13,082 --> 00:02:14,551
that barely ran doom

99
00:02:14,551 --> 00:02:15,502
but it ran

100
00:02:15,502 --> 00:02:17,337
I was never told where it came from

101
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:18,171
but most likely

102
00:02:18,171 --> 00:02:19,289
someone’s office

103
00:02:19,289 --> 00:02:21,324
still has one pc unaccounted for

104
00:02:21,324 --> 00:02:23,359
welcome to post-Soviet Eastern Europe

105
00:02:23,359 --> 00:02:24,110
so there we are

106
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:25,261
in the computer class

107
00:02:25,261 --> 00:02:26,579
Me and maksim

108
00:02:26,579 --> 00:02:27,730
we are told to open word

109
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:29,065
type some letters and shit

110
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:29,933
kids stuff

111
00:02:29,933 --> 00:02:31,668
teacher look at me and maksim

112
00:02:31,668 --> 00:02:33,153
We are sitting next to each other

113
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:33,970
that we are not having

114
00:02:33,970 --> 00:02:35,138
enough of a challenge

115
00:02:35,138 --> 00:02:36,890
brings on the heavy guns

116
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:37,874
tells us both to create

117
00:02:37,874 --> 00:02:39,259
a personal folder

118
00:02:39,259 --> 00:02:41,361
on the school shared network

119
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:41,878
drive

120
00:02:41,878 --> 00:02:43,112
me, i freeze

121
00:02:43,112 --> 00:02:44,597
I freeze for a moment

122
00:02:44,597 --> 00:02:45,532
Is he bluffing

123
00:02:45,532 --> 00:02:46,666
What the blin

124
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:48,301
i had never seen a network

125
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:49,802
even less a shared folder

126
00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:50,637
or drive

127
00:02:50,637 --> 00:02:51,838
suddenly remember

128
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:53,790
that you can make network location

129
00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:54,674
in your computer

130
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:56,159
Open up network locations

131
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:57,377
and find the thing

132
00:02:57,377 --> 00:02:59,112
teacher still hovering above us

133
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:00,864
but ultimately unimpressed

134
00:03:00,864 --> 00:03:02,348
proceeds to leave us alone

135
00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:03,216
and goes to help

136
00:03:03,216 --> 00:03:04,584
the other 18 children

137
00:03:04,584 --> 00:03:05,401
Most of who

138
00:03:05,401 --> 00:03:06,269
are still stuck

139
00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:07,704
on turning their pc on

140
00:03:07,704 --> 00:03:08,571
i whip open

141
00:03:08,571 --> 00:03:09,455
the network drive

142
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:10,106
boom

143
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:10,940
create folder

144
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:11,558
boom

145
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:12,325
name it

146
00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:12,842
boris

147
00:03:12,842 --> 00:03:14,694
hackerman certification

148
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:15,695
achieved

149
00:03:15,695 --> 00:03:17,130
maksim look at me

150
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:17,914
how you do that?

151
00:03:17,914 --> 00:03:19,382
i lean back and say

152
00:03:19,916 --> 00:03:21,084
what? you don’t know?

153
00:03:21,084 --> 00:03:23,219
in the typical 13 year old

154
00:03:23,219 --> 00:03:24,637
demeaning tone when you

155
00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:26,606
know one bit of information

156
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:27,774
more than anybody else

157
00:03:27,774 --> 00:03:29,576
then you lord it over everyone

158
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:31,110
for the fraction of the moment

159
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:32,161
that you are smarter

160
00:03:32,161 --> 00:03:33,112
than everybody else

161
00:03:33,112 --> 00:03:34,330
and proceed to help him

162
00:03:34,330 --> 00:03:35,548
create his folder as well

163
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:36,232
so there we are

164
00:03:36,232 --> 00:03:37,250
wait for a few minutes

165
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:37,734
look around

166
00:03:37,734 --> 00:03:38,551
nothing much to do 

167
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:39,402
teacher still busy

168
00:03:39,402 --> 00:03:40,770
explaining to others

169
00:03:40,770 --> 00:03:41,788
how mouse works

170
00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:43,022
now, normally when a student

171
00:03:43,022 --> 00:03:44,657
shows a greater skill

172
00:03:44,657 --> 00:03:46,075
or knowledge in something

173
00:03:46,075 --> 00:03:46,893
than others

174
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:47,560
the teacher usually

175
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,611
points it out

176
00:03:48,611 --> 00:03:49,796
to other children

177
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:50,980
for them to take notice

178
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:51,981
in this case

179
00:03:51,981 --> 00:03:53,349
this attention never came

180
00:03:53,349 --> 00:03:54,484
okay fine

181
00:03:54,484 --> 00:03:55,969
I don't need the attention

182
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:57,437
i know I’m the best

183
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:59,589
I say to myself in my dreams

184
00:03:59,589 --> 00:04:00,907
much more realistically

185
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:03,142
i think The teacher was too worried

186
00:04:03,142 --> 00:04:04,944
we might blow some shit up

187
00:04:04,944 --> 00:04:06,512
before he even gets to

188
00:04:06,512 --> 00:04:07,847
end the school year

189
00:04:07,847 --> 00:04:08,848
And he was not wrong

190
00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:09,716
at this point

191
00:04:09,716 --> 00:04:11,367
i knew how to boot to dos

192
00:04:11,367 --> 00:04:12,502
input commands

193
00:04:12,502 --> 00:04:13,970
and run format c

194
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:15,421
I was not dangerous

195
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:16,956
I was the danger

196
00:04:16,956 --> 00:04:17,924
and then classmate

197
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:19,892
classmate gets this genius idea

198
00:04:19,892 --> 00:04:21,160
creates text file

199
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,413
in his new network folder

200
00:04:23,479 --> 00:04:24,564
writes

201
00:04:25,581 --> 00:04:26,282
penis

202
00:04:27,317 --> 00:04:28,468
nudges to me

203
00:04:28,468 --> 00:04:30,303
to look into his folder

204
00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:31,738
I open his folder

205
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:32,538
there is a file

206
00:04:32,538 --> 00:04:33,673
i open the file

207
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:34,741
select the text

208
00:04:34,857 --> 00:04:35,675
and remove

209
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:37,143
as if to remove any traces

210
00:04:37,143 --> 00:04:38,995
of this rogue vulgar statement

211
00:04:38,995 --> 00:04:40,313
on school property

212
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:42,231
this will not be tolerated.

213
00:04:42,231 --> 00:04:43,232
me, still surprised

214
00:04:43,232 --> 00:04:45,084
i have read and write rights

215
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:46,419
in somebody else’s folder

216
00:04:46,419 --> 00:04:47,720
but i guess teacher had not

217
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,888
configured this shit yet

218
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:50,006
because he never expected

219
00:04:50,006 --> 00:04:51,841
this lesson to go farther than

220
00:04:51,841 --> 00:04:53,810
moving the mouse cursor on screen

221
00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:54,927
i then proceeded to write

222
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:56,963
something much more sophisticated

223
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:58,281
into the text document

224
00:04:58,281 --> 00:04:59,015
and write

225
00:04:59,682 --> 00:05:00,400
b  a  l  l  s

226
00:05:01,017 --> 00:05:02,452
so obviously we keep ourselves

227
00:05:02,452 --> 00:05:03,336
entertained with this

228
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:05,588
back and forth text file editing

229
00:05:05,588 --> 00:05:06,856
thinking to ourselves

230
00:05:06,856 --> 00:05:08,107
we are geniuses

231
00:05:08,107 --> 00:05:09,425
for just having invented

232
00:05:09,425 --> 00:05:10,677
instant messaging

233
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:11,794
even though we are sitting

234
00:05:11,794 --> 00:05:13,513
literally right next to each other

235
00:05:13,513 --> 00:05:14,580
and talking would be

236
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:15,715
many times faster

237
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:16,866
but still

238
00:05:16,866 --> 00:05:18,001
geniuses

239
00:05:18,001 --> 00:05:19,252
We keep busy with this

240
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,586
For maybe 2 minutes.

241
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:22,238
every other student in the class

242
00:05:22,238 --> 00:05:23,389
still trying to hit

243
00:05:23,389 --> 00:05:24,207
the word icon

244
00:05:24,207 --> 00:05:25,208
with the cursor

245
00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:26,609
and then maksim

246
00:05:27,026 --> 00:05:28,227
signal to me: hey

247
00:05:28,227 --> 00:05:29,579
open the file

248
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:30,747
i open the file

249
00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:32,265
is a very long text file

250
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:33,132
of gibberish

251
00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:34,150
made to look like he was

252
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:35,702
writing for the past 10 minutes

253
00:05:35,702 --> 00:05:36,686
but he was just

254
00:05:36,686 --> 00:05:38,287
copy pasting the same text

255
00:05:38,287 --> 00:05:38,955
phah

256
00:05:38,955 --> 00:05:40,189
what do i look like?

257
00:05:40,189 --> 00:05:40,940
beginner?

258
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:42,041
unimpressed here

259
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:43,226
and me, control-a

260
00:05:43,226 --> 00:05:44,027
backspace

261
00:05:44,027 --> 00:05:44,527
done

262
00:05:44,527 --> 00:05:45,478
start writing

263
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:46,212
and this

264
00:05:46,212 --> 00:05:47,513
the following events

265
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:48,581
and the following text

266
00:05:48,581 --> 00:05:49,732
is word for word

267
00:05:49,732 --> 00:05:50,583
What happened

268
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:51,484
i start writing

269
00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:52,485
warning

270
00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:53,286
there is a virus

271
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:54,587
in the computer

272
00:05:54,904 --> 00:05:55,838
in all caps

273
00:05:55,838 --> 00:05:56,756
thinking i will give maksim

274
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:58,257
a small scare with this

275
00:05:58,257 --> 00:05:59,175
thinking the computer is

276
00:05:59,175 --> 00:06:00,410
infected or something

277
00:06:00,410 --> 00:06:01,494
hit save

278
00:06:01,494 --> 00:06:02,729
go to close the

279
00:06:02,729 --> 00:06:03,963
notepad window

280
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:05,631
so that I could open it again

281
00:06:05,631 --> 00:06:06,482
because we are editing 

282
00:06:06,482 --> 00:06:07,433
the same file

283
00:06:07,433 --> 00:06:08,534
and the close button

284
00:06:08,534 --> 00:06:09,769
does not work

285
00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:10,570
i’m thinking

286
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,270
hah 

287
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:12,488
shitty old pcs

288
00:06:12,488 --> 00:06:13,556
someone probably opened word

289
00:06:13,556 --> 00:06:14,957
too many times

290
00:06:14,957 --> 00:06:16,559
crashed the network here

291
00:06:16,559 --> 00:06:16,976
classmate

292
00:06:16,976 --> 00:06:17,427
Look at me

293
00:06:17,427 --> 00:06:18,144
and say

294
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:19,779
hey i cannot open the file

295
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:21,664
cold sweat

296
00:06:22,098 --> 00:06:23,032
blyat what did i do

297
00:06:23,032 --> 00:06:24,233
i nervously tell him

298
00:06:25,134 --> 00:06:26,853
you pc probably just crashed

299
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:28,337
this some old shit anyway

300
00:06:28,337 --> 00:06:29,972
he shuts his pc off

301
00:06:29,972 --> 00:06:30,873
from power switch

302
00:06:30,873 --> 00:06:32,675
and i switch of mine as well

303
00:06:32,675 --> 00:06:35,027
because mine was it not responding at all

304
00:06:35,027 --> 00:06:36,028
completely dead

305
00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:37,046
i’m thinking

306
00:06:38,448 --> 00:06:39,499
safe

307
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:41,117
literally seconds later

308
00:06:41,117 --> 00:06:42,168
I hear someone

309
00:06:42,168 --> 00:06:43,970
from in front of class saying

310
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:44,937
they cannot click on things

311
00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:45,705
any more

312
00:06:46,255 --> 00:06:48,191
sweat intensifies

313
00:06:48,191 --> 00:06:48,975
now keep in mind

314
00:06:48,975 --> 00:06:50,510
maksim had no idea

315
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:51,594
what i had written

316
00:06:51,594 --> 00:06:52,462
into the file

317
00:06:52,462 --> 00:06:54,080
because he never found out

318
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,381
and i never told him

319
00:06:55,381 --> 00:06:56,432
I never told anyone

320
00:06:56,432 --> 00:06:57,617
this is the first time

321
00:06:57,617 --> 00:06:58,718
i’m mentioning this

322
00:06:58,718 --> 00:06:59,485
at all

323
00:06:59,485 --> 00:07:00,803
teacher goes around class

324
00:07:00,803 --> 00:07:02,338
trying to fix this problem

325
00:07:02,338 --> 00:07:03,956
Everybody's pc has crashed

326
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:05,658
comes to my pc, i say

327
00:07:05,658 --> 00:07:07,026
uh mine crashed too

328
00:07:07,026 --> 00:07:08,094
I just

329
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:08,945
I just switched it off

330
00:07:08,945 --> 00:07:09,712
he’s like

331
00:07:09,712 --> 00:07:11,097
okay yeye

332
00:07:11,147 --> 00:07:12,782
the network probably crashed

333
00:07:12,782 --> 00:07:13,800
i’m thinking what

334
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:15,084
the what?????

335
00:07:15,084 --> 00:07:16,185
teacher walks away

336
00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:17,003
i’m clear

337
00:07:17,003 --> 00:07:18,037
for now

338
00:07:18,037 --> 00:07:19,789
instantly start thinking about

339
00:07:19,789 --> 00:07:21,374
the shenanigans we had done

340
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:22,458
with the text file

341
00:07:22,458 --> 00:07:23,643
and how that might have

342
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:24,927
killed the whole network

343
00:07:24,927 --> 00:07:25,928
and then remember

344
00:07:25,928 --> 00:07:27,079
the text file

345
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,247
with all the incriminating

346
00:07:28,247 --> 00:07:29,215
evidence

347
00:07:29,215 --> 00:07:31,384
was in maksim’s folder

348
00:07:31,384 --> 00:07:32,502
not mine

349
00:07:32,502 --> 00:07:34,637
safe once again

350
00:07:34,637 --> 00:07:35,171
but blyat

351
00:07:35,171 --> 00:07:36,472
maybe they find out

352
00:07:36,472 --> 00:07:37,757
who was editing the file

353
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:38,608
the last time

354
00:07:38,608 --> 00:07:40,243
because everybody was logged in

355
00:07:40,243 --> 00:07:41,694
with their personal accounts

356
00:07:41,694 --> 00:07:42,712
shit

357
00:07:42,895 --> 00:07:43,863
few minutes pass

358
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:44,897
teacher cuts the class short

359
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:46,098
by 20 minutes

360
00:07:46,098 --> 00:07:46,916
because at this point

361
00:07:46,916 --> 00:07:48,618
all 20 pcs

362
00:07:48,618 --> 00:07:49,702
are dead

363
00:07:49,702 --> 00:07:50,870
including his

364
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:52,505
i’m thinking it’s over

365
00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:53,606
i’m safe

366
00:07:53,606 --> 00:07:55,308
I can breathe another day

367
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:57,810
be in next class

368
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,462
haven’t told anyone anything

369
00:07:59,462 --> 00:08:00,780
don’t want to incriminate myself

370
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:01,464
you know

371
00:08:01,464 --> 00:08:02,882
i’m in literature class

372
00:08:02,882 --> 00:08:04,066
mid lesson

373
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:05,351
the school administrator

374
00:08:05,351 --> 00:08:06,118
walks in

375
00:08:06,118 --> 00:08:07,003
i think nothing of it

376
00:08:07,003 --> 00:08:07,837
this is common

377
00:08:07,837 --> 00:08:09,055
she always bring in some chalk

378
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:10,156
or some shit

379
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:11,457
fresh notebooks

380
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:13,342
but not this time

381
00:08:13,342 --> 00:08:14,827
she’s not alone

382
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:16,295
and who walks in

383
00:08:16,295 --> 00:08:17,964
after the administrator

384
00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:20,333
Of course it is the it teacher

385
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:21,701
oyyy blin

386
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:22,735
i’m going to jail

387
00:08:22,735 --> 00:08:24,854
they found out what i have done

388
00:08:24,854 --> 00:08:26,672
they probably traced it back to me

389
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:28,191
and is all pizdec

390
00:08:28,524 --> 00:08:29,942
but this is not all

391
00:08:29,942 --> 00:08:31,594
after the it teacher

392
00:08:31,594 --> 00:08:32,612
walks in

393
00:08:32,612 --> 00:08:34,080
the final boss

394
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,065
It is the headmaster

395
00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:38,618
This old woman with the post-Soviet

396
00:08:38,618 --> 00:08:40,403
ruling fist of iron

397
00:08:40,403 --> 00:08:41,354
and let me tell you

398
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,522
you did not see

399
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:43,940
the headmaster ever

400
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:45,057
around school

401
00:08:45,057 --> 00:08:47,176

402
00:08:47,176 --> 00:08:48,528
completely pizdec

403
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:49,679
i take deep breath

404
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:51,297
accept my fate

405
00:08:51,631 --> 00:08:52,715
start Imagining getting kicked 

406
00:08:52,715 --> 00:08:53,916
out of school

407
00:08:53,916 --> 00:08:54,800
having to explain this 

408
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,851
to my parents

409
00:08:55,851 --> 00:08:57,403
face paler than the chalk

410
00:08:57,403 --> 00:08:58,521
on whiteboard

411
00:08:58,521 --> 00:09:00,206
I knew what was coming

412
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:01,407
i had seen these public

413
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:02,608
humiliations

414
00:09:02,608 --> 00:09:03,859
These public

415
00:09:03,859 --> 00:09:05,094
in front of classroom

416
00:09:05,094 --> 00:09:06,128
takedowns before

417
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:08,514
and the headmaster calls out

418
00:09:08,514 --> 00:09:09,649
my name

419
00:09:09,832 --> 00:09:10,733
blyat

420
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:12,568
ah it was fun while it lasted

421
00:09:12,568 --> 00:09:13,686
walk in front of classroom

422
00:09:13,686 --> 00:09:14,837
tralilalila

423
00:09:14,837 --> 00:09:15,738
but then i notice

424
00:09:15,738 --> 00:09:16,789
the it teacher

425
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,124
is holding a paper

426
00:09:18,124 --> 00:09:19,559
with 5 names

427
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,910
he reads from the list

428
00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:22,345
next is maksim

429
00:09:22,345 --> 00:09:23,980
maksim walks in front of class

430
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:25,214
to my surprise he was

431
00:09:25,214 --> 00:09:26,632
not shocked at all

432
00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:28,017
Later found out he assumed

433
00:09:28,017 --> 00:09:29,485
we’re getting some kind of medal

434
00:09:29,485 --> 00:09:31,637
for being so good at it class

435
00:09:31,637 --> 00:09:33,356
but no, he comes up

436
00:09:33,356 --> 00:09:34,974
everybody is dead quiet

437
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:36,659
students, teachers

438
00:09:36,659 --> 00:09:37,543
the birds outside

439
00:09:37,543 --> 00:09:38,761
had Stopped singing

440
00:09:38,761 --> 00:09:40,212
and then it teacher

441
00:09:40,212 --> 00:09:41,631
calls up three more names

442
00:09:41,631 --> 00:09:43,015
and before i could say

443
00:09:43,015 --> 00:09:44,200
uh teacher they had nothing

444
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:44,917
to do with it

445
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:46,168
it was just me and maksim

446
00:09:46,168 --> 00:09:48,204
there is suddenly five students

447
00:09:48,204 --> 00:09:49,522
standing in front of class

448
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:50,089
four of them

449
00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:51,774
waiting for what comes next

450
00:09:51,774 --> 00:09:52,525
and me

451
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:53,509
just confused

452
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:54,860
so as they started explaining

453
00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:56,028
these were the five people

454
00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:57,113
from my grade

455
00:09:57,113 --> 00:09:58,781
that attended it class

456
00:09:58,781 --> 00:09:59,932
just an hour ago

457
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,434
and then the headmaster

458
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:02,485
starts talking

459
00:10:02,485 --> 00:10:04,053
completely out of her element

460
00:10:04,053 --> 00:10:06,772
this 60+ year old fossil

461
00:10:06,772 --> 00:10:08,107
ask the 5 of us

462
00:10:08,107 --> 00:10:09,241
who did it

463
00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:09,809
First of all

464
00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:11,460
I knew she had nothing on me

465
00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:12,395
on none of us

466
00:10:12,395 --> 00:10:13,596
but she has found out

467
00:10:13,596 --> 00:10:14,897
that it was one of us

468
00:10:14,897 --> 00:10:15,665
somehow

469
00:10:15,665 --> 00:10:17,617
but nobody budged

470
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,719
nobody said anything

471
00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:20,720
i will not betray my

472
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,305
fellow classmates

473
00:10:22,305 --> 00:10:23,389
You cannot scare me

474
00:10:23,389 --> 00:10:25,157
with your gestapo crap

475
00:10:25,157 --> 00:10:26,309
nobody spoke a word

476
00:10:26,309 --> 00:10:27,660
and then i slowly realise

477
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:28,878
nobody could have

478
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:29,912
the 4 other children

479
00:10:29,912 --> 00:10:31,047
in front of the class

480
00:10:31,047 --> 00:10:31,931
probably look at

481
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:32,999
headmaster like

482
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:34,417
has she finally gone crazy

483
00:10:34,417 --> 00:10:36,202
what you even talking about?

484
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:37,586
and then it came to me

485
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,871
It was me.

486
00:10:38,871 --> 00:10:40,773
i had done that

487
00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:42,141
I don't know what i had done

488
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:43,376
but i had done something

489
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:44,026
so the headmaster

490
00:10:44,026 --> 00:10:44,860
and it teacher 

491
00:10:44,860 --> 00:10:46,228
start going on about

492
00:10:46,228 --> 00:10:48,114
how we broke the law

493
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:50,066
how One of us will be expelled

494
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:50,850
for this

495
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:52,952
how there will be punishment

496
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:54,103
and consequences

497
00:10:54,103 --> 00:10:55,705
for what we have done

498
00:10:56,305 --> 00:10:57,289
silence

499
00:10:57,289 --> 00:10:58,641
All five of us silent

500
00:10:58,641 --> 00:10:59,558
class silent

501
00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:01,260
rest of class just watch at us

502
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:02,895
like sheep at a fence

503
00:11:02,895 --> 00:11:04,480
since they had no idea

504
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,148
how a computer even works

505
00:11:06,148 --> 00:11:07,600
for them this was just break

506
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,185
from literature class

507
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:10,569
for me

508
00:11:10,569 --> 00:11:12,004
this was interrogation

509
00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:15,174
and i am a cold stone wall

510
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:17,343
you got nothing on me cyka

511
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:19,228
so they keep talking for a solid

512
00:11:19,228 --> 00:11:20,629
ten more minutes

513
00:11:20,629 --> 00:11:22,148
asking who did it

514
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:23,616
and why we felt the need

515
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:26,052
to destroy school property

516
00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:27,870
I do not budge

517
00:11:28,437 --> 00:11:29,905
it teacher goes to explain

518
00:11:29,905 --> 00:11:31,290
that one of us

519
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:32,391
Did something

520
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:33,409
that made the whole

521
00:11:33,409 --> 00:11:36,162
school computer system crash

522
00:11:36,979 --> 00:11:37,947
wait so

523
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:39,665
even he doesn’t know who caused it

524
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:41,617
and i do not mean just the

525
00:11:41,617 --> 00:11:42,952
beginner pc class

526
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:44,153
that i was attending

527
00:11:44,153 --> 00:11:45,271
this crashed

528
00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:46,439
every pc

529
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:48,624
in the whole school

530
00:11:48,624 --> 00:11:49,642
admin pc

531
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:50,609
headmaster pc

532
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:52,011
library pc

533
00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:53,462
all the it pcs

534
00:11:53,462 --> 00:11:54,497
even the server

535
00:11:54,497 --> 00:11:56,082
everything went black

536
00:11:56,082 --> 00:11:56,766
i’m there thinking

537
00:11:56,766 --> 00:11:58,367
blin must be a shit system then

538
00:11:58,367 --> 00:11:59,752
and apparently they could not

539
00:11:59,752 --> 00:12:00,753
figure out

540
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:01,587
how to fix it

541
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:02,838
because they had no idea

542
00:12:02,838 --> 00:12:03,806
what was wrong

543
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:05,708
so they came to us to find out

544
00:12:05,708 --> 00:12:07,293
that maybe we

545
00:12:07,376 --> 00:12:08,728
knew how to help

546
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,880
and thus incriminating ourselves

547
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,565
and confessing to the crime

548
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:13,582
But nothing

549
00:12:13,582 --> 00:12:14,316
headmaster

550
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:15,518
it teacher and admin 

551
00:12:15,518 --> 00:12:16,969
storm out of class

552
00:12:16,969 --> 00:12:18,053
slammed the door

553
00:12:18,053 --> 00:12:19,555
but not before threatening

554
00:12:19,555 --> 00:12:20,489
to find out

555
00:12:20,489 --> 00:12:21,490
Who was behind this

556
00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:22,875
and have them expelled

557
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:24,360
me standing there wondering if

558
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,428
they really assume

559
00:12:25,428 --> 00:12:27,113
some 13 year old children

560
00:12:27,113 --> 00:12:27,696
who have the knowledge

561
00:12:27,696 --> 00:12:28,848
and the capability

562
00:12:28,848 --> 00:12:29,632
to take down a school 

563
00:12:29,632 --> 00:12:30,750
system like that

564
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:31,534
or did they just need

565
00:12:31,534 --> 00:12:32,651
somebody to blame

566
00:12:32,651 --> 00:12:34,253
so okay they leave

567
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:36,172
literature teacher pays no mind

568
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:37,256
probably knows and

569
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:39,024
cares less about computers than

570
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:40,126
The headmaster

571
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:41,477
we all sit back down

572
00:12:41,477 --> 00:12:43,395
and only then i realise

573
00:12:43,395 --> 00:12:44,663
all these four children

574
00:12:44,663 --> 00:12:45,314
had the

575
00:12:45,314 --> 00:12:47,283
trauma of a lifetime just now

576
00:12:47,283 --> 00:12:48,300
and they still had no idea

577
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:49,435
what even happened

578
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,120
I was the only one

579
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:51,720
who knew

580
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,189
and only after some time

581
00:12:53,189 --> 00:12:54,323
did i realise that

582
00:12:54,323 --> 00:12:56,192
since i had written this text

583
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:57,143
in English

584
00:12:57,143 --> 00:12:58,944
and saved this on the server

585
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:00,746
then the server antivirus

586
00:13:00,746 --> 00:13:02,181
possibly activated

587
00:13:02,181 --> 00:13:03,649
and probably detected it

588
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,417
as primitive threat

589
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:07,736
and lokced down the whole system

590
00:13:07,736 --> 00:13:09,572
now of course the it guy

591
00:13:09,572 --> 00:13:11,207
could have possibly fixed it

592
00:13:11,207 --> 00:13:13,042
if he knew what he was looking for

593
00:13:13,042 --> 00:13:14,894
But I guess he could not even

594
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:15,611
possibly

595
00:13:15,611 --> 00:13:17,012
start to imagine

596
00:13:17,012 --> 00:13:18,597
this primitive kind of

597
00:13:18,597 --> 00:13:19,715
cheeki breeki

598
00:13:19,715 --> 00:13:21,550
from some 13 year old children

599
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:23,636
so the file was on the server

600
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:24,920
the server was on lockdown

601
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,572
and he had no access

602
00:13:26,572 --> 00:13:27,740
because he most likely

603
00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:29,725
did not configure these servers at all

604
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:31,243
but since server was down

605
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:33,562
the whole school it system was down

606
00:13:33,562 --> 00:13:35,130
and that was generally

607
00:13:35,130 --> 00:13:36,532
a bad thing

608
00:13:36,532 --> 00:13:38,367
So I come to school the next day

609
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:39,785
computers still down

610
00:13:39,785 --> 00:13:41,303
say after that, same thing

611
00:13:41,303 --> 00:13:43,772
and by the end of next week

612
00:13:43,772 --> 00:13:45,558
they had either fixed the problem

613
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:46,909
or gotten a new server

614
00:13:46,909 --> 00:13:48,177
but what i do know

615
00:13:48,177 --> 00:13:49,245
i never saw that

616
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,480
it teacher ever again

617
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,698
and computer class

618
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:53,582
was removed

619
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:56,569
for the next two whole years

620
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:58,070
and that is the story of how

621
00:13:58,070 --> 00:13:59,972
i singlehandedly took down

622
00:13:59,972 --> 00:14:02,074
The whole school it system

623
00:14:02,074 --> 00:14:03,325
in style

624
00:14:03,325 --> 00:14:04,827
with a simple text file

625
00:14:04,827 --> 00:14:06,829
and got the it teacher fired

626
00:14:06,829 --> 00:14:08,380
and i had just earlier seen

627
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:10,232
the 1995 movie “hackers”

628
00:14:10,232 --> 00:14:11,317
And let me tell you

629
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,769
doing something like this yourself

630
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:14,904
even accidentally

631
00:14:15,137 --> 00:14:17,339
100 times more satisfying

632
00:14:17,339 --> 00:14:18,541
oh and i never got caught

633
00:14:18,541 --> 00:14:19,758
and from that day on

634
00:14:19,758 --> 00:14:21,627
I knew I had to become

635
00:14:21,877 --> 00:14:23,212
hackerman boris

636
00:14:23,212 --> 00:14:25,097
computer mastermind

637
00:14:25,097 --> 00:14:26,715
then went to study it in college

638
00:14:26,715 --> 00:14:28,334
working programing for Few years

639
00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:29,401
and Quit to make YouTube

640
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:30,653
the end good night

641
00:14:30,653 --> 00:14:32,538
stay cheeki breeki
