Had a random guy that I spoke to at a bar ask me if I could hack a university to forge a degree for him when I told him I work in IT. Even if I could do something like that, it seems like a really risky and unethical thing to do for some rando at a bar.

I once had the knowledge how you could hack a government system to get free fishing licenses. Seemed like a high risk / low reward type of deal though.

I could probably do that in LibreOffice. Like, how hard is it to print out a thing that says "BACHELOR'S OF SCIENCE" in that stupid old school font.

It was a test. You failed 😔

So he was asking in earnest? Lol

He was drunk, but then again, so was I.

That's when you say yes, edit the page source in browser, show him it says he has a degree, get paid, and disappear.
