Wow that's amazing! The best part is that you managed to get their entire database, that must have taken a lot of work. How did that burner account thing work?
My favorite experience with "hacking" in school involves wifi. My school had free wifi, but you had to log in with your student password. Well, the login step involved a GET request in which the password was sent in plain text as a URL parameter... so if you had your friend's laptop, it was a simple matter of looking at his browser history to see his password!
Never did anything with it, but always wondered what someone seriously motivated could have done with it
