Ever messed with the School Computers?

[whitebread]

Worst I ever did was create a "program" using VBA which allowed me to modify registry settings in Win95 to unlock all of the things on the computer. Then I installed some programs which allowed me to steal passwords (including the Admin's).

I also booted to a live Linux CD, and gained access to a significant number of unsecured computers (including the computers where grades/attendance/etc. were stored). Biggest coup was stumbling across the computer where the teachers stored digital copies of their exams (which, for the record, I never opened/used/sold/etc.)....

Nothing too bad. :shifty: But then they upgraded to XP, got a new computer guy (who wasn't a complete idiot), and they actually made getting around the network much more difficult.

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.

Heh, I have done something similar to that. :p

[P!P]

No...

I'm going to wait until I graduate to disclose everything I did. :p

How do you do a net send message on Windows XP? Ive done it before, but It doesnt work. I did it in the library where the message got sent to the Police, and to the libarians and all the computers on the network. Its "NET SEND Windows2k Message Here" but I dont have Windows 2000 here. Ive tried Windowsxp, didnt work.

its becos in windows xp the messenger service is now disabled by default

i have done alot of bad things :whistle:

bypass firewalls, getting domain admin passwords

i have control over all the computers in a classroom, and teachers logins.

its cool to have such power over things :)

i'm a good hacker in a way because i don't do any damage, dont intend to either.

I never actually messed around with the computers at high school or university.

Oh, except for re-arranging the keys on the keyboards at high school. That was always a good laugh...

.bat Files!!!!

[ambiance]

In grade 8 I got access to the principal's computer because his password was his first name and in high school I edited the autoexec.bat to perform "deltree c: *.*" so you had to answer before it booted into Windows. It was also very easy to browse network drives via "Map Network Drive" and using Internet Explorer. These are all nub compared to what others can do, but it was still fun.

Some of my friends would pull memory from the computer while it was running amongst other things. Thinking about it makes me laugh while I type this.

my friends and i made a small proggy to log novell passwords. a fake login window, too easy.

Wow my school got about 150 new Dell computers with flat screen monitors... A BIG IMPROVEMENT. lol

I had great fun when I had a my own personal laptop 98, as I was admin to that computer I poped on a key logger and got the administrators password but that was no fun as it was just to easy, before that I had a teacher log onto my computer to show me somthing and roaming profiles on 98.... I had ALL his emails doc's. found SO MUCH PORN I was 14 at the time, I

one of my more disapointing times in my life was when I changed the DHCP server to dole out the routers IP address, as before they pointed all the students to the squid box and teachers to the router. took them about 3 months to see that everyone was on MSN and porn sites.

Me and my mates hacked the admin passwords on the pc's we usally used in college so we could install ad aware and remove all the spyware and adverts that kept poping up. So really we did the college a good turn in a way.

Also installed unreal torni and the odd game, teachers didnt seam to mind as they thaught they were internet games as we had IE open behind them :)

I'm going to be a troll here and say that, from reading all of these posts, 90% of you are lying.

I started with "netsend * Hi Bitch" I thought It wouldn't work :p Almost all the schools in my city got the message and got into soooo much trouble. After that I was just browsing some network computers and found all the transcripts *I guess* of all the kids in the school. It told me their name, their grades, Address, Mothers name, Social Security Number, and some more stuff but, I quickly got out of there :p. A year after I found out all the computers in my school had Radmin installed so I checked the school's tech guys computer and got the client and I was able to log into any computer and mess with it *NICE*. Also we found out the tech guy had ghost recon so we installed it on all the computers and started playing :p but before that we had counter-strike. Wow I babble a lot so I will shut up...

H3xis I got the suspension papers to prove it :p

A couple times...

One, back in the day we were still using Apple computers at my school. There was a desktop overlay application (forgot what it is called) that looked like ONE BIG FOLDER with buttons in it to the specific applications you could load. I found a series of key clicks that let you close it down and get to the normal macintosh desktop to play around with whatever you wanted.

Another time, a few years later, people were not allowed to ever use the internet (no Bess filter at this time), this was about 10 years ago. They locked the internet browser down hard core. Except I found a loop hole. Claris Works had an option to access the browser in one of its menus. Worked like a charm.

Finally, not really messing with the computers, but we hated our Librarian. Always told us we could only have 4 people at a table in the Library. So, a few of us brute forced her password to the Librarian system and messed with book descriptions, invetories, locations, fines for people, etc.... Then we went to her house in the middle of the night and vandalized it.

I agree.

[Novaoblivion]

I actually did the opposite in high school, I helped the teachers and network admins out and actually got shell access to the server :). In college I havent really done anything yet but I have found through the open wireless network I can browse the home directories for all of the users lol. I havent messed with them though I dont want to get banned/suspened.

And why do you think everyone is lying?

[h3xis]

And why do you think everyone is lying?

Do you have to ask? "OMFG I HAXX0RED TEH NOVELL PASSWERDS AND RAN SUM BATCH FILEZ AND GOT INTO TEH GIBSON"

Give me a break. I'm not saying everyone is making stuff up but common...

I know I am not as my hacks weren't even advanced by any means (or even hacks for that matter), just a stupid principal and old Mac classics with little to no security and Windows 98. Need I say more?

The biggest thing that happened in High School was everyone installing Nesticle on their user folders and playing roms.

Thanks for your input...

[Mike Frett]

No, because we didn't really have any!. Well, we had some some but rarely got into that class, it was more of a "fun time" to play floppy games on those DOS PCs.

[Mouse91]

I haven't really done much...yet...

I have managed to get into Network Places (not much but my friends think its cool), find Admin scripts (but they don't work), get a local admin password, install MSN Messenger (WLM) and use Net Send. When I did use netsend, I nearly got in big trouble for it because the messages include the computer name. After we did it in I.T class, we found out that right after we left, a bunch of I.T technicians came looking for whoever did it. And whenever we tried to use a computer that day, we would be told by that department that they were keeping an eye on us! Just think, in every classroom on the Smart boards while a teacher was writing something for the class to copy, up came "Teletubbies!"

[iSimx]

They put so many restrictions on. We cant do anything now...
