In college we had courses on Linux and we were able to SSH on other students' computers. First I used innocuous commands that ejected the optical drive or that enabled the screensaver.
But unfortunately it escalated quickly and soon every student would mess with each other by shutting down the computers...
I used to do that with ICQ. I would just get people to run an exe then I would open their drive, print popup windows, screensaver, and I think even play audio files. Mostly fake satanic stuff so they'd think their computer was possessed.
Log in on SSH, randomly output 'apt moo' or other shit to the other students' computers.
Your college Linux courses sucked lol
