It is most likely that someone gained access prior to class and rigged
the teachers pc. probably set up a shell to the pc and then copied the
data via tftp or somehitng similair.
there are many techniques that could have been used to establish the shell.
teacher goes to bathroom and student inserts his own usb drive and
dumps the passwords hash for later use.
crack hash offline and use the credentials to launch a shell or maybe
even 'pstools'.
there are alot of what i call 'pivot' files that could have been used.
I have been in many training classes where someone wanted the
instructors slides or some neat program that he would not share.
let's see....yea, i said someone. not me ;)
you wanna be the star of the day? show him how to encrypt his data.

Hi list,
A friend of mine who is a medical professor asked me if
it is possible to copy his usb thumb drive from their
class room pc without knowing it? he told me maybe
there's a hidden software that copying it in the background?
His exam from his usb thumbdrive was exposed all over
to his student.I told him that you need a very high tech
software or expensive to do it? Is any such software capable
of this? this some kind of impossible task in my views.
Thanks.
