IoT Hacking and Rickrolling My High School District
On April 30th, 2021, I rickrolled my high school district. Not just my school but the entirety of Township High School District 214. It's the second-largest high school district in Illinois, consisting of 6 different schools with over 11,000 enrolled students.
This story isn't one of those typical rickrolls where students sneak Rick Astley into presentations, talent shows, or Zoom calls. I did it by hijacking every networked display in every school to broadcast "Never Gonna Give You Up" in perfect synchronization. Whether it was a TV in a hall, a projector in a classroom, or a jumbotron displaying the lunch menu, as long as it was networked, I hacked it!
In this post, I'll be explaining how I did it and how I evaded detection, as well as the aftermath when I revealed myself and didn't get into trouble.

IoT Hacking and Rickrolling My High School District
This is the story of how I created a botnet of IPTVs to rickroll 10,000+ students for my senior prank.
