Netbus and BO got me in so much trouble as a kid (though honestly I probably should have gotten in a lot more trouble).
At school, all the windows machines were locked down with a "security" application called Fortress. I started selling boot floppies that would disable Fortress to teachers, and might have loaded a few of those up with the aforementioned toys.
At home, I don't think I paid for internet access at all until well after college. A port scan of local ISP networks usually yielded someone infected with netbus or bo, and I could snarf their dialup credentials.
While those exploits probably should have landed me in jail, the worst that happened to me was an expulsion as a result of somebody else bulk changing logo.sys across school.
