Am I being naughty?

Ran into a network admin that replaced me at a prior job - one of those half quit / half fired kind of things where my boss was such an uber_choad_huffer_from_hell I grudgingly took the severance and walked out the door. Yeah...we've all been there.

Anways, this arrogant F-tard that thinks he's Mr Kung Fu admin along with thinking I'm his friend or something. Remember the fat UNIX guy in Jurassic Park? Subtract 40lbs, add paper MCSE and a Rush Limbaugh fan club card, and you're close.

So the dude was bragging about how secure his network was and other meaningless tripe. Basically he kisses up to my ex Boss and tells him what he wants to hear while relying on newsgroups for 99% of his troubleshooting. Not to mention the twank initially blamed for me for a lot things that weren't my fault, and mgmt knows it.

So, Spike here got bored, and after bit of prodding around, found a back-up DSL line with RDP still port directed to a utility server. A few tries and I got in with a consulting companies 3 letter login and password that virtually the whole universe knows. From there I RDP'd into their AD controller using a local utility account with admin rights I know Einstein was too dumb (or lazy) to change. From there I used an established trick I won't divuldge to get a nice, fresh copy of the SAM, and FTP'd it to my box. I'm going at it with LC4 right now. When I left I made sure the firewall log (stored on the AD controller) was cleaned to remove traces of my clandestine entry.

So, I need advice on what to do now. My options are:

(1) Do nothing. Even though the FBI can be called for such a break-in, I didn't wreak anything nor divuldge company secrets. I'm not vindictive anyways, and some parents can't be faulted for not practicing birth control.
(2) Send him several anonymous boxes boxes of donuts with the Domain Admin password written on the underside in huge magic marker, so they only find it when they throw them out and hence have no frikken clue who wrote it. Chaos and lots of angry meetings and finger pointing result.
(3) Send him a Fairygram, which is some hairy dude dressed in a tutu and substitute packs of condoms for donuts.
(4) Go into the E-mail databases of his and the other people I didn't like for a couple of days, and keep marking all their mail as unread so they wait for their entire database to download everytime they login to Outlook. Do this to the trash folder for a week to people who refuse to empty it, and they rarely figure out what all those Outlook.Exe crashes are from. Gee, must be Spyware 🙂
(5) Option 1, cept drink more beer.

I'm inclined for option 5.

 
1. Make an AD policy to change everyones wallpaper to Erik Estrada.
2. Repeat step 1 daily with different wallpaper image.
 
Option 6: Find something better to do with your time... like get a job.

Uh, have one that pays more money. Not sure where you assumed I was unemployed, but you must be thinking about your dad.

Make an AD policy to change everyones wallpaper to Erik Estrada.

I'm sure BigToque knows the URL 😀
 
Show his boss the blatant security holes you breached with ease, the ones he should have secured then apply for his job.

Seriously, this is what I'd do

n/m, I see from the post above that your level of maturity is what got you "fully" fired before.
 
You're being rather bitter I think, naughty too I guess. I say let the guy feel like he's king of the network and move on. It's not your problem anymore.
 
Nah, I don't want his job.

Seriously though. Reading through some of these responses you'd think I stumbled into a Christian Reformed dating advice forum or something.
 
So the new guy made you feel so inferior that you decided to commit a felony to prove that you have a larger e-penis than he does. Then, rather than going to your arch enemy and humiliating him with his obvious technical inferiority, you come here to crow about how much smarter you are than the guy that got your job?
You?ll have to excuse me for not being impressed.

Um, no. Just what you did was illegal.
