I currently attend a high school with very little administrative network oversight. Our school's technology policy is constantly ignored by most of the students, and it just drives me nuts some times. Most of the teachers have just given up on the schools network administrators and suppose the problems will never be fixed. I therefore wish to break into vigilante mode and tear some people some new ones, if you know what I mean . I've started reading up on network security but would gladly accept any advice, ideas on what to research and stuff. Thanks everyone.
