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.
