    I went to school with someone who didnt like deadlines, so she would do the following:

    • fill a word document with nonsense
    • open word document in hex editor
    • corrupt file through some means she googled
    • submit the file to our submission system
    • wait for teacher to open the file, get ‘corrupted’ message

    She’d do the work at her own pace in the mean time, and when she got asked for another copy because it was corrupted, shed hand it up. She graduated with me, and I dont know what she does now but I hope she’s in infosec.

      I mean this is like 90% of college even when you’re not gaming the system
