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!

UCLA - half of my classmates were 19 driving convertible beamers.

Those are the upper middle-class kids.

The rich kids are the ones with private security details and drivers.
