Notify them, if they dont care, make it Public/Sell it or keep it for yourself.
Notify the owner of the server, apologize to them, and explain how to fix the issue.
What would you do @gupici?
You misunderstood his question.
...only to get yelled at and insulted. Almost everytime I tried to help someone to fix their systems' vulnerabilities I ended up being the bad guy.
This, only I would add "anonymously through a seemingly infinite web of VPNs" since I would have now broken federal law by actively seeking to compromise someone else's system without their consent
unlimited VPN, what else?

Without the ethic bullshit?
Well... I'ld be cautious to not leave any fingerprints. Try hacking the other passwords of the admin, gather info about him and wait till I have a use for him/server.
You're classy.
Multiple VPNS to the server, then leave a huge sign when he logs in saying you have been hacked now figure out how dumb ass. Yes I know this not the specific "right way" to do this, but it will get his attention in a hurry. It might also make him figure out where the hell his security is lacking and fix it. Then again who knows with people today.
nothing .... don't do it again, no one gets away with it every time ....
Karma is a bitch btw.
How about notifying the owner of the server? Maybe run "exit"?
Are you in my base killing my dudes?
Err...
thats definitely one of many options, yes.
Force them to change password at next login?
chage -d 0 root
nothing. at most, create a file they know shouldnt be there. log out.
Why would you compromise someone's server?
You reckon it is illegal, right ?
Imagine it's your servers. And then just do what you want others to do in that situation. Ethical problem solved. Shit that you throw into fans always comes back one day in life. Just don't throw shit into fans and life is your friend.
Do the Kant, man!

Well, as some guy said around 2300 years ago (no kidding), "it's only illegal if they catch you".
Very curious as to how do you know that. I understand it if it's part of your religion (formal or not). If it's not, let's see some hard data.
I have thrown a lot of shit into fans during the 40+ years of my life. Some (like me) learn things the hard way. ;-)
"anectodal stories open to interpretation". Not my cup of science, but thanks for the response!
man of science.
Wow look at this guy. This is clearly the most dastardly response here.
As for my answer, probably just look for anything interesting, like maybe private keys to other servers. Since we're assuming you already are in, you can probably assume whoever owns whatever server you're in wasn't very smart and left a hole for you to get in, so I'd probably roll the dice and add my own user for future uses.
You probably didn't use Tor, so just do nothing. Otherwise maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website_defacement (just deface without damage)
Patch it. Back in high school I would regularly patch other peoples forums when 0-days were released.
Or patch the high shool system
