   Can you actualy do some cool stuff on school computers using windowskey+r to bring up run? I've heard that you can do more or less anything using the run command, but can somebody give me some ideas? Summat like finding *pwl files so I can change passwords maybe, lol (not that I would) or accessing teachers accounts. In fact is there anyway I could make an account that had teacher status, ie access to any sites etc? Or would the technicians be able to tell immediately that it was me who made that account?

lol okidokies... well most schools have extra security, especially with student accounts, if you did access any other files you don't have access to, you will probably be tracked and removed from the system

in school systems there is LAN, meaning all computers are connected to each other, you'll need the computer number u want to hack into, me and my friends got the teachers computer number and went into Mircosoft Word and file>open and typed in a command (cant remember, if i wud i wudnt tell u anyway, dont ask why)

hmmm... that does sound like quite a problem. are you sure theres no way round it?

It depends on the software that your school chooses to use to provide you with applications. If you use Novel good luck. It took my friend 4 hours one day just to figure out how to alter the image that would appear on login. It was made to a Cow saying Mooooooo *Teachers Name* likes little boys. Most school networks are kept tight but if you have access to Microsoft Word there is a bug in its software (where even if your denied access to the C Drive from My Computer you can get it through Word). Just type C: when trying to open the file name and away you go. With the Novell network they also have a bug that allows you to run and EXE file as long as its named either calc.exe mspaint.exe wordpad.exe or notepad.exe. Like I said there isn't much you can actually do to the systems unless you know what your doing.

im on the schoold look close list if they even have one, but once i do something, i get in shit for it, when everyone else can do it without having a problem (runing firefox)...my school watches me closer because  1 day me and my friends found a way into the c drive, basically we turned our calculator into the cdrive folder and had all programs and everything, not teacher accounts tho. But we could run teacher only programs like taking control of computers

Im still trying to get through their new system, so far unsuccesful, just a few folders not meant to be seen

I haven't got caught yet but I've done the same. I used the notpad's open dialog to get the C:\ and F:\ drives

use nero to browse through the files.... it came up and i could look at ANYTHING... theres was a folder called 'CCTV' and in it was a video called 'Boys Toilet Graffiti'.... i cant find a camera in any of the toilets??? PERVERTS!!!!

worrying...

try nero

Sometimes school IT admins can be so anal about security. If you have to stop the students running programs, you haven't secured the system against viruses, adware and spyware properly have you?

Then again, most are semi-incompetent. I remember, any Win2000 or NT4 machine on my school's network tried to reinstall Office every time you ran an Office app.
And they disabled the Win key on Win95 machines, but not on the others.

There's another exploit in novell where it uses special usernames to image the disk, but if you log in normally with it it will load up and then close immediatly, but there's enough time to make a local administrator account, and from there you can acces the whole local computer including installing novell NDS managing software to backtrace passwords .

But those are the old days , nowadays I just know the Administrator password
