Used t love farting around on the school network. First of discovered you could type in the //server/share url in word and ctrl-click it and up it popped, bam could go through everyones personal files and everything what fun. Filled up someones user space with a picture of a willy :p . The next fun thing was using a keylogger on the admins pc to nab his password, then logging on and changing his password! Oh the good old days, and ofcourse i used a proxy from russia or sum shiz so i could be on newgrounds all day.

Why would you even want to find out the admins password, how about just doing some work?

Only just saw this. Why does everyone blame the admins for blocking stuff. Do you not stop to think its the program its self which has a list of default address and may have an indexing system which scans all viewed pages in its history looking for keys word and blocking a normal stie because it may contain the world "sex". And all this bring in firefox and games on a USB stick carry on, jesus! your at school/college get some dam work done.

Ditto, calling it biggest educational website is where you are going wrong. I wouldn't dare to even dream using that site for anything but amusement, may be some quick read on a light subject. But if i want solid info, wikipedia is not the place to go. Even thou the information on there might very well be true and very indepth, but the very fact that you can edit it makes make take it with a pinch of salt.

If your teacher fail your work because you got your info on there, even thou its right. I would say tough luck.

As I said earlier, this isn't university level work. I suppose Wikipedia might be innapropriate for A-level work but at a school the majority is going to be GCSE level and below. Do you really think a teacher would fail a student just for using wikipedia? Of course not. They want as many students to pass as possible. I think most teachers would appreciate students "researching" even if it is slightly wrong instead of just expecting to be given everything on a plate (as it's usually done).

That's what we used to do at work when using SurfControl but I suggested that I create a custom rule in Microsoft ISA Server to redirect certain traffic to a 'Banned' page on the proxy server- the advantage of which is great because it supports the wildcard character, hotmail blocked in three clicks :D

Oh and for all you lot thinking you're clever by using remote proxies (Which you shouldn't be actually as you're most certainly breaking your schools's AUP), we have policy central enterprise running alongside ranger which constantly scans opened apps and webpages for such code, so beat that :p

I bet it doesn't help if you use your home pc as a proxy with a dynamic ip address like I did. :p And I wasn't actually breaking any agreement because I never signed one. :D

websense isn't bad, not the best but could be worse. a lot of these products are designed for businesses to prevent users browsing inappropriate sites at work and are easy enough to bypass if you know whatyou're doing, no matter, it does the job for 95% of users and the rest are show offs who're easy to catch out!

school networks tend to be a mess anyway, the techies are pretty rubbish generally as the people who know their stuff work in the city, not in schools making 25k a year. end result - inept network design!

This is quite funny, my school uses a thing called 'Websense' to block websites that students shoud not be viewing. Im sad to say that these forums are blocked. But today I tryed to go on a website that is the biggest educational website in the world, guess what that website is........wait for it...........................the website is Wikipedia. WTF they have stopped students from going on Wikipedia, and the reason that Websense shown for this, is because it is 'Tasteless'.

What other website blockers does your school use, and what websites has it blocked that seem very reasonable?

You can get what might be seen as 'offensive' content off wikipedia.

I'm sure its possible. XP Admin (or any user accounts) passwords can be reset in a matter of seconds, just by using a special XP installation disc, which would allow full access to a PC to stick a logger on.

most schools (even the inept ones) would disable boot from cd and use a BIOS password, they'd also have all the common loggers picked up as virus/spyware so you'd have to disable AV too...
 
You'd hope so. My old school was pretty hopeless at things like that. Still, you can remove a BIOS password by taking the CMOS battery out or something, so it's not completely secure.

correct, a lot of schools now even remove cd rom drives.

True. We used to be able to stay working in rooms for hours and never be disturbed by anyone though (our school setup a stupid amount of computer rooms, often there would only be a couple of people in them).

So as long as you didn't go after the main server you'd be safe.

Heh I remember the time a friend asked me how you work the 'net send' command (way before Microsoft disabled it or people really knew about it). I told him, not knowing he was going to send a message to every computer on the network.. which, to the admins joy, also showed your username / computer name. Cue some angry looking admin woman storm in 5 minutes later :p.

I wonder if she's been sacked yet, she was an awful teacher / admin, and made it publically known she hated me for knowing more than her.

Hardly - and though I agree that it's probably not really worth blocking despite being unfiltered itself, your school certainly shouldn't accept it as a main resource or a source for your own work.

Yup, they disabled that about 3 years ago on our machines. Along with the right click.

:(

I just just logmein.com to get onto my computer at home and then I can browse freely.
 
i wish i was still at school, i used to hack into the network and upload some games so that me and my class mates could play. the best one was quake 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The amount of fun we had playing that instead of doing boring school work. :D
 
Trying to block un-authorised websites is impossible. The way to do it is block all websites and then create an allowed list. Which is how we do it at work, only whitelisted websites can be viewed.

If someone tries to visit a non-whitelisted site they get the access denied screen and a button to press if they would like to request access to a website......DENIED!!!! tbh :)

Currently the whitelist has over 500 websites.

I would love to let them all have full access, but then they just cause problems, hotbar and flash games start appearing everywhere.
