>>2770>my professor is some really good netsec dude and I doubt that the network is defenselessProfessors usually aren't in charge of that kind of stuff, unless it's like his main/second job.
>if I don't know the inner architecture of a networkIf I were you I would:
- Pay some attention to small/internal stuff that you already have access to like: a boardrooms booking system in the library or any internal communication system… and find out what they run
- Study the network's layout. There are many tools for that, but you can literally just use tracert and a piece of paper(assuming an small campus) or whatever stuff you learned to use in your class.
- Visit seedy places of the web where not-so-old vulnerabilities get passed around and see if any of them fit what you need.
-If your professor uses the wifi during class(he probably does, we're all human) honeypotting him should be doable.
Also, my college had some pretty draconian rules against compsci students having this kind of fun, so maybe thread carefully.
