I was on tech support and we only had admistrator accounts while on the network. We ran cain & abel and managed to crack the hashes for the local admin accounts. Shit was so cash.
I had a CD I burned that could bypass the admin account and change the password on windows. It doesn't give you much power except now you can put steam on there and play games.
When I was in middle school, knowing how to use a computer wasn't cool at all Now it's the other way around
People like you make me dread ever becoming a network admin at a school.
[QUOTE=Frankiscool!;40524588]People like you make me dread ever becoming a network admin at a school.[/QUOTE] I worked as a network admin at school, and provided all of this everything will be fine: A) All of the other network admins know what they are doing B) Each admin has their own password, so if a suspect of a leak occurs, it can easily be changed C) Normal teachers do not need high level access. Giving teachers control over the network results in trouble. If an IT teacher needs to be able to run a program which requires slightly higher level access, it should be fixed case-by-case in group policy, not by simply elevating them. D) Change the admin passwords regularly. E) Never hard code the admin password into a script which can be read by hand. I've seen instantaces where a runas has been used in a pupil login script to run something as administrator, with the admin password in plain text. This is a huge no-no. F) Get teachers to report rumors. Kids like to talk and cannot keep their mouths shut, if a kid does discover something, they will just have to boast and brag, and you will hear it soon enough. If in doubt, change admin passwords. So all in all a bit of common sense goes a long way to keeping everything under control.

Some dude managed to put UT 2004 and Warcraft 3 onto the school network, so people in the know could play that shit on LAN whenever they had a computer class.
[QUOTE=garychencool;40517911]Make a bootable USB, boot linux, there ya go, practically admin access.[/QUOTE] But what if a teacher walks over and sees? Wouldn't it be obvious that you're doing shit you're not supposed to, since you can't just alt tab back to the normal windows desktop?

My HS had a master 1TB public drive for everyone's use, it eventually got to the point where someone put a copy of Quake 3 Arena on the drive (I found an ASCII Art of Hank Hill on the drive too) Spring Fling became less boring when me and my friends had a Q3A DM in the Library :v:
lol my main teacher at tafe during a media course got so angus as my class played halo via LAN, even more so when the teacher of the adjacent class would play as well.
I got the superintendents password for the grading system they use.. and then got every school under the schoolboards admin password by it being in a plaintext file on a library computer.
Amazing stories here, I managed to grab my high-schools WiFi password, get into some poor year 7's documents folder and fill it with pictures of Nic Cage and best of all - access the CCTV logs. The look on my teachers face when she saw me just watching CCTV footage :v: [editline]4th May 2013[/editline] I'm fairly sure the I.T technicians hate me, and I like dropping their WiFi password into conversation when walking past them. [sp]password is panda[/sp]
It's fun when they don't password things
I used to supervise an ICT suite on a lunchtime at my old school and one day someone had accessed the admin account and changed everyone's username to fucknuggets The best part was the software I used to monitor the pupils' computer usage showed their usernames beneath the feed from their screen so I was just browsing a page full of fucknuggetses.
when I was at school they didn't allow us to use wifi i found a server aptly named "yavin4" that contained a cisco exe file. Extracted it, found a text file, contains up to date wifi password. Sold it to dumb idiots, made dosh. then I had the network admin password [sp]it was muffin[/sp]
[QUOTE=Durrsly;40513867]And all I did was try to organize a Doom deathmatch.[/QUOTE] We couldn't install anything on our computers and we used programs in a cloud-sort of system. So I copied my installation of Medal of Honor Allied Assault to a flashdrive, brought it into school and uploaded it into the depths of the network. We played on multiplayer against each other and eventually other classrooms as well. I was always Nr.1 player with my K98 rifle. Good times Three years later and it's still there
In my high school they had a website blacklist, but one day something malfunctioned and the blacklist became a whitelist. So you couldn't access the school board's own website, but you could access all this terribly inappropriate stuff. It was hilarious. Anyways, as I get older, I think it was less a case of malfunction and more a case of some bored student.
Damn, I guess I'm lucky. When I finish my stuff in programming class I'll play Happy Wheels for shits and giggles with some friends. Teacher doesn't give a fuck.
A friend of mine put this whole list of games in all the computers at school. At first it was fairly hidden. But soon everyone knew about it and everyday at lunch we had CoD lan matches.
At our school we have Minecraft and CounterStrike 1.6 saved on one of the drives. Every time the administration deletes them, they're back up the next day. Much fun is had in study halls and end of classes.
Back in my school days I made a shortcut which could access everyone's user account so I could effectively edit/add everyone’s content. At first I keep it to my 2 mates but the next day everyone seems to know about it. After a few days the admin IT made it so no one could access in that way again. But thankfully I copied the shortcut and changed it as a zip file, I changed it back and it still worked so I had full control again.:v: I mainly used it to play quake 3 with my mates and share files to each other. Good days...
I just used my script kiddie powers in my 10th year to utilize kid's school issue laptops as a bot-net and ddos'd the network, which messed up the grades server and kept teachers from being able to enter grades for mid-terms until after winter holiday. Since then I've taken to burning down orphanages and armed-robbery-arson. It's a slippery slope and these kids should be expelled and put in prison.
[QUOTE=Chronische;40524790]Some dude managed to put UT 2004 and Warcraft 3 onto the school network, so people in the know could play that shit on LAN whenever they had a computer class.[/QUOTE] I need to do this before I graduate next year so I can leave a legacy. I can still find random files from my freshman year on the computers, I should try hiding a game somewhere so someone can find the treasure. I don't know anyone else at my school who plays those games so there's no one to play with over LAN though.
[QUOTE=Glitchman;40517284]at my school we had these [img]http://files.myopera.com/andronic/albums/621375/thumbs/1Apple%20Power%20PC%207500.jpg_thumb.jpg[/img] I don't even know if they had admin logins. I'm old[/QUOTE] We still have those at our school. Windows 95 and the like. ClassLink sucks dick.
We're gonna start to see more of this since kids outmatch your average adult in computer knowlege at age 10 nowadays
I remember at my school, the IT teacher was pretty much the nicest idiot ever. He didn't know all that much about computers, just a few programs like After Effects and Premier, which he was teaching primarily. But he was a pretty nice guy and if you worked hard and were a nice kid he'd never look twice at the things you ended up doing. One time, a few friends stole admin rights through safe booting the computers and then finding and taking the passwords. We ended up installing Quake and Age of Empires which we played in class all the time, the teacher let it go most of the time if the students playing had done their work I took more of his classes every year on purpose for these reasons Plus that was one of the only air-conditioned rooms

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;40514046]How did they catch you if you son't mind me asking? I remember using a disk to change the local Admin password. Yeah, 2002 disks were still used.[/QUOTE] We got caught because when you logged in as admin the background wallpaper was different to the students one, we thought we were smart and as soon as it logged in would change the background to the student one but at some point one of us must of been seen doing it so they caught on. That and the possibility that the IT admin probably noticed a really weird spike in admin usage..
I would make a witty retort about how I discovered the passwords, but the IT guy just told me them so I'm not sure that'd do much. Our wifi password is public knowledge too - so much so that substitute teachers ask students for it when they need to use the internet.
