#2The fact that the administration didn't choose to sue them to oblivion is refreshing. I hope we'll see a trend in the future of educator being smart enough to admit that they made a mistake and to encourage the students to develop their talent.
One can only hope.

Too right! Get this kid a job, not punishment.

I'm glad to see a kid using bash and not something like gulp PowerShell

Not to diminish your comment, but a thing I've found late my career is to abandon dogma when it comes to young folks learning. If they can learn with PowerShell, they're a lot better off than a lot of young folks! There is no one-true-way and as soon as you find it, another generation will show up with another-true-way :)

#6Many here, I am sure, got in trouble in high school for exposing security issues in school IT. So I imagine we're all very happy to see a sane response from school administration for once!

#7Free relatively harmless large-scale pen testing! Nice work.

Being a minor probably helps. There are so many laws today. It's too risky to do this. It's not like it was 25 years ago.

I got in trouble once in high school just for discovering and then using `net send` to send a message to my friend that said "Hi from lab 3".
Computer lab access revoked for 6 weeks. Jokes on them, now I send socket messages to my friend that says "Hi from Chicago" and there's nothing they can do about it.
My friend however keeps begging me to use this thing called 'email' because he claims he doesn't see the socket messages.

#10I’ve said this a bunch on here so please tell me to stuff it if it’s tiresome, but having been on the far side of a large scale bug bounty i am incredibly impressed with the skills that young folks are developing in infosec. Probably not particularly unique but the industry is still a bit of a combination of tradecraft and academic pursuit and can be confusing for people to find a way in. I think this is why i really appreciate those that just bear down and get after it.
