I was responsible for fixing the system and we fixed the system.

I was like, clearly you didn't.

It's like, prove it.

I'm like, okay, I also built like something in my system where you can automatically execute the vulnerabilities.

So I get a shell access to the database.

I'm like, okay, what do you want us to find?

Your password or your salary?

Or how do you want us to prove?

I was like, okay, give me my password.

So with a query, I get his password.

And it was some embarrassing password.

I forgot what it was right now, but people have all sorts of embarrassing passwords.

And his face turned red and he got really angry and he got up, shook my hand and left.

Well, turns out I was like a pawn in this rivalry between the two different deans.

So the other dean, like one dean was given the responsibility to secure the system.

The other one wanted to kind of

make sure I re-hacked the system to prove it.

But anyways, at the end, I graduate.

And I now have like really great relationship with the university.

I think that there's a mindset here.
