Evil Tech Admin's
I've work at a few places where some of the Admin's I worked with were a bit on the sneeky side. So As a admin I made sure there was a back door incase one fo these admins tried to pull the same stunt. Its happened two times when one admins tried to lock down the servers to just him, but, forgot my backdoor way in. He was hiding a hidden bussines he had on the side used the company's network for his customers use. One Day the manager was asking why the network was so slow to him and he said he was doing mmaintenance and then made up other excuses. Now staying on the sidelines I one night I noticed the use of our network brought to a crawl. The Manager asked him again why the network was slow he gave the same excuse, the manager asked me I pointed out a few things what this admin did and I cut the people who should not have been on the network off. Once I did that the admin got phone calls on his office phone and his cell phone. When the manager asked him what the problem was he said a network was down but the manager told him to stop and go to his office wheile there I disables all of his PW's and locked his account. The manager asked him to leave and he tried to log in thinking he was getting into our network but to his dissapointment I put a dummy server where he loged in and got a noticed saying that the network has been shut down. I pulled out network off the net, I made allot of changes and cleaned up this guys mess. the Admin was let go the next day. When I lef the company I walked to the server and deleted my account in front of the new Admin's and told each one how to create a hidden admin account, so no one can out do each other.
