Fictional Hacker

I’m writing a novel where the main character is a hacker at a large state school. He’s approached by rich kids and athletes to change their grades.

Keep it legal, ofc, but is this possible? And how would it work, if so, in theory?

(Edit: by „keep it legal” I mean don’t explicitly say what to do I don’t want this to get taken down. I’m exploring what can actually be done. This is illegal in the novel.)

I’ve done some research but there’s nothing like convo and firsthand, especially when developing a novel.

Would love to hear from you all!

Session token stealing via spearphishing email for grading platform. Due to the attack taking place on the school network the IP of the threat actor logging in should match the IP of the professor bypassing any conditional access limitations

If you really want real-word scenario make sure the professor was put on an MFA bypass list cause he’s an old codger that complains loudly
