Ever messed with the School Computers?

[Lee G. Veteran]

I don't mess with the computers at school as such, but if I want to do something which is restricted I remove the restriction with this: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm i.e. accessing control panel etc.

11th grade, English class, we had this teacher that took over starting the 2nd semester and let's just say she is a super morbidly obese monster bitch. For the first time in my life, she gave me a D on an "i-search" project, a 20 page research paper on what career we want to pursue.

I installed a key logger on her computer so that i can get her password and change the grades, a few weeks later i did and gave my self extra 25 points for the project. About a week later the principle and the school IT admin (who was also a fat ****** who thought he knew everything) came into our class to tell us who'd accessed her computer then they went around asking about our computer skills/knowledge :rolleyes:

she started doing grades by hand from then on and requested everyone to turn in their old projects and assignments so that she can "correct the errors"

fat bitch.

[Raa]

Yes I did, from Year 7 through to Year 11

In Year 12 I had admin access and got caught.

Faced with 2 choices. Choice 1 : the cops are called in and I get expelled from school.

Choice 2 : I start the following year with a job securing the network.

I think its obvious which choice I made........

That was in 2000 that I started (officially). I now manage networks for over 6 schools in the area.... lol :)

What does her weight have to do with ehr attitude? Although i am not fat at all, i still take offence to those words.

[Glorious]

Yes

Had 2 teacher's logins. That meant pretty much as much Internet and unlimited print credits (students had 1000 print pages a year).

Got into all sorts of drives etc. through Word.

our original teacher quit and when she came in, we were nice to her, showed her all the things in the class and where to get copies done and all that stuff to help her out...

within a few weeks, she turned into a horrible demon... honestly, you needed to be there to understand what my class went through.

It was so bad, that nearly every student in all her classes wrote a complaint and some 40 students were lucky enough to get transfered to another teacher mid semester. i had to put up with her ****.

and her weight had everything to do with it.

1. she was late almost everyday to class because she walks very slow.

2. she lost our grade book for book reports and yelled at us and told us we stole it and that she was going to give us all F's for our book reports..

that fat bitch couldn't bend over far enough to see that her notebook was sitting under a rolling cabinet (the whole class saw her drop the notebook and used her foot to slide it under the cabinet along with other "missing" grade books.

3. during lectures she'd stop and tell us to start reading because she needed a few minutes to catch her breath... it's quite difficult to read and learn when you've got a person breathing harder than the AC vents.

Fair enough. sounds like she had a realy problem though and wasnt just a little over weight.

i didnt really, just put a keylogger on some of the computers, managed to get a few teacher passwords. and just change IE settings so internet wouldnt work and the technicians were called... need something to keep them busy ;)

[Umbrello]

The worst thing I did was in my Junior year in high school, and isn't that bad at all. I found a way to download Firefox because I was sick and tired of using IE. The school computer admin soon found out and warned me for it because I could access sites that were otherwise blocked by IE.

[spy beef]

I'm the only student in my high school with all the passwords to the administrative rights on all our macs... my teacher must really trust me.

[Kaidiir]

Back when we were still on OS 9.1 I disabled remote desktop on a whole bunch of the systems...maybe changed a few desktop backgrounds...

I showed everyone the fart-o-tron in the middle of a timed essay, and while it was funny it wasn't really mischevious...

[Knaarfje]

well, there was this time I used photoshop to make something random, and I got banned for a week :rolleyes:

[PRSBOY]

Can't do anything or I'll get fired. I work closely with the IT person of my school (~900 kids so just one, he is cool and not one of those dumb IT people.).

--Got around proxy, IT person didn't care (even asked me for access)

--Got admin password (was given by the IT person (could have easily gotten it from the sam file though)

--Rat on kids who are causing troubles for IT (roms, proxy sites, and such (Everyone already hates me so I don't care anymore))

theres probably a reason for that.

[rev. sK]

I got busted for stealing hardware. I stole a 3.5" Floppy disk drive (mine was broken), a CD-ROM (because I didn't have one at home) and RAM (16MB DIMMs because they were sweeeeet at the time)

It was probably a good thing I got caught then, cause I would have likely moved on to bigger and better things, which I didn't. I wasn't banned from computers, or computer courses, but my parents did have to come to school and visit my VP and stuff. I did however start stealing software off my school, because, really, there are no victims there. :p

[Stephen Veteran]

ok soem of my things

in file explorer if the lefthand column is removed (quick access menu) all you do is go to my conputer ->tools->folder settings-> enable show common tasks and ok then a link to control panel re shown :p

ste

[kombolcha]

theres probably a reason for that.

LOL..

i used to beat up on people who snitched..

[tony-inpo]

Actually, no I haven't because I wanted a part-time job working on the network (and eventually got one) so I left well alone.

Well before my time, a friend of mine wrote a macro which gave a 'tool bar' like GUI to the net-send command. This meant he could message PC's on the network while 'working' on word. What was more ingenious is that as people caught wind of it, then wanted a copy which he sold to them...

Anyway eventually it got out when a rather obscene message got sent to all computers including the head...

[Fergie]

A network i was using once used active directory in such a way that it cached login files onto the local machine. You could log onto your account (with restrictions), then log off.

You'd then physically pull out the network plug and try and login onto the domain. Instead of failing it'd use the cache (i'm assuming it's a cache) and you'd end up on the local machine with full access rights. Then you could just plug back into the network and have full access. Lax security is great :)

Done that one before.

Also changed the BIOS clock making it impossible to login. :p Comes up with an error saying client time is differen't to server time.

I installed Steam and downloaded+installed counter-strike at college today. It's literally as simple as doing it at home :p.

I hope CS: S works on these computers as I suck so much at 1.6 :(.

[levianthen]

Back on a class that I had full of Win98 computers, I was browsing some weird school network drive, and came across the install file for Quake3D. We got it installed on like 10 computers in the back row of our class, and during class just played big network games of Quake, and whenever a teacher came by, it was just a quick ALT + TAB back to our work.

haha, that's too funny :p

[Ferret]

I never really really messed with the setup - I just taught my IT teacher most of the things he now knows ! That was some years ago though !

[mezoko]

theres probably a reason for that.

Nah, everyone hated me before I got the job and did any rating, plus I keep it between me and the admin, and no one knows that I rat on them, usually it just a proxy I see being used, or breaking/getting around the security we got. If someone I know is doing and they don't mean any harm/know what they are doing, I don't say a dam thing, but remember I am the one who got to fix the computers, and I'd probably end up getting in trouble if didn't rat as it my job to help the IT guy out, not cause trouble.

I'm just a computer geek who hates sports (don't watch them either), and what not. I got a 10-15 kids in the school I get along with. (No "cool" kid does this stuff)

Introduced the College to portable firefox (Y). 3000 students getting round the proxy with the Admins baffled as to how they were doing it.

We stopped after they caught 5 people on porn websites and immediatly expelled them, after that it got kinda serious.

There's still an ongoing battle with the Admins to let us use Firefox. I don't see why we can't really.

[Evilpig]

I installed a keylogger on the teachers pc, I also got suspended and kicked off computers for a year :(

[tmw]

I managed to find a way to get around *almost* any site, apart from porn/Google Images/violence/gore etc. (it does let you on MySpace!)

Basically if you're in Hampshire, UK your school systems should be running on HantsNET. Open IE, go to connections > LAN settings and there should be a field called "Automatic proxy configuration script". In this field should be something like http://cache.hants.gov.uk/schoolscache.pac. Copy http://cache.hants.gov.uk/ into your address bar and up comes 2 proxy scripts for HantsNET: schoolscache.pac and squidcache.pac. The rest is pretty simple :) Basically this changes you from an Education user to a Corporate user.

What can I say? Bored in class a few weeks ago. :shifty:
