virus

The title pretty much says it all: have you ever written (or tried to write) a computer virus? I know pretty many young programmers try to do something like that in their early days. Did you? If yes, did you succeed? Tell us your tale - What did it do? Did you get punished? What did you learn from this? Etc.
