During in my data science master's program, someone unironically sent me a localhost link to a Jupyter Notebook.

    In the really early days a guy who loved trolling before trolling had a name had a link on his website that just pointed to the users downloads folder. Really freaked out some people that clicked on it.

    I hung in a sysadmins channel on IRC. There was always a new bug/exploit. So many there was never a shortage of ways to lock up or break a windows installation. They would just post random links and hope someone clicked on it. I always used lynx to look at them. It was fun and no one considered at the time using them to steal or rip off people with them.

    I made a Zip bomb, hid it, called it virus, and found the school OS reinstalled for what would have been a relatively harmless, and very basic trick.
