Say youre doing some special project on the use of ICT and ur doing some bit about the gp32 and you need access to this site, might work, buth then on our system at skool all i have to do is hck into it its a piece they even had it so u cud get into the network files through dragging my network onto the task bar, we found soo much shit on there it was unbeleivable account records showing that our headmaster pocketed money the lot was unbeleivable sadly they locked that and its harder to get in not much harder tho, but the whole point was sayin that you could hack into it and change the settings so you can view gp32x.de, it may work.
Lol like PinkSpider I don't have long in school (in fact, 4 weeks) but I do remember these ridiculous computer exploits:
- Jack-ass admins block access to A: drive - it's hidden from My Computer view. Type it in directly!
- Jack-ass admins block access to C: drive - double-click a folder on the start menu. This opens up an Explorer window -> back up and you're in C:\ root.
- Jack-ass admins block FTP access. Open up a command prompt, which has ridiculously not been blocked, and telnet your way in.
- Jack-ass admins block IRC but fail to block IRC as a keyword, enabling widespread use of Java applets and CGI gateways.
- Jack-ass admins are thwarted by pupils disabling the proxy server settings in IE, accessing the internet unfiltered. So they remove Internet Properties. Solution: Install Mozilla
- Jack-ass admins then remove the hardware source of unfiltered internet, only to mess up every single computer on the network. For the next couple of weeks students had to manually enter proxy server details every time they logged on (humourously leading to the re-enabling of the Internet Properties dialogs)
- Jack-ass admins boast about system's security whilst we scorn them. They jokingly say 'well, if you think it's so insecure, why don't you crack it. And make sure we can see it - not some minor exploit that doesn't do anything. We've got all the latest patches!'
Twenty minutes later the Internet Explorers of half of one computer lab have new and obscene title bar messages.
- Jack-ass admins are enraged when some random students discover Windows Messenger. They quickly start sending NET SEND messages to each other, until some rumours circulate about a NET SEND *. Nobody has the guts to do it ... for about an hour. Within days, network-wide messages of hilarity and obscenity are a common event for all computer users, including the headmaster - who was not particularly amused when he was asked to perform fellatio upon logging in to his classroom tracker system. Twice.
- Prior to that the jack-ass admins were running a 95 network system, ridiculously. They now gush over the 2000 network and its security, yet that doesn't explain why they Ghost-restore about six computers a day, have to keep reformatting a bunch of older PCs as soon as they've stored profiles for six users because they don't know how to stop the profiles being stored, and once allowed my friend to log onto a computer only to find he had instant admin access with the full suite of profile-snooping tools.
Now of course, I don't know how to fix half these bugs, but I'm not a network technician who gets paid an exorbitant sum to sit around and listen to pirated music all day either. These guys are hypocrites to the extreme: blocking warez of all forms, in fact, they have been known to observe any site that gets more than about 3 unique users a day and block it there and then, yet they have tons themselves which they use the T1 or similar connection of our school for. Oh, and RM have a nasty feature called snipe blocking where you could just be reading a page and suddenly it refreshes after 3 seconds with an inexplicable BLOCKED message, probably due to some advert being loaded in an IFRAME. Basically, these losers should really be out of a job.
And you guys think you got it bad
