*** Screwing with School Computers ***
|
|
|
|
Hacking is all about information. To become a hacker you must learn everything you know
|
|
on your own or by listening to other hackers. Schools and what they call "education" has little
|
|
to do with learning. So this file is here to show you some truly productive things to do at
|
|
school:
|
|
|
|
Most middle and high schools use Macintosh computers for 2 reasons. They're easier to use
|
|
and harder to fuck up. Almost all school computers use some sort of security program. Here I
|
|
will discuss how to get around two popular security programs: FoolProof and At Ease. You can
|
|
probably use these methods on other programs as well.
|
|
|
|
- FoolProof: FoolProof is a program that locks up parts of the computer. It is run thru the
|
|
extention FoolProof INIT whenever the computer is started up. The first thing to try is to
|
|
hold SHIFT during startup to turn the extentions off. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it
|
|
doesn't. If this does work, try to copy FoolProof onto a disk to use as an unlock disk if you
|
|
ever come to a computer where the extentions off method doesn't work. If shift doesn't work
|
|
there is a few other things you can do. If you just want to get into a locked folder just do a
|
|
FIND and search for a file you know is inside. Example: You want to get into the System folder.
|
|
Go to FIND and search for FINDER, a file you know is inside System Folder. It will bring you to
|
|
the Finder, inside the System Folder. From there you can use anything else inside. Sometimes
|
|
every single file inside the System Folder will also be locked and then this doesn't work. If all
|
|
else fails you need to get an unlock disk. Here is how to make and use one:
|
|
|
|
1) Go to an old computer such as a Mac Classic and hold shift during start-up.
|
|
2) FoolProof should be turned off along with the extentions.
|
|
3) Copy FoolProof onto a disk
|
|
4) Take the disk to a locked computer
|
|
5) Run FoolProof off the disk
|
|
6) It'll display some message asking you if you want to shut down to other version of
|
|
FoolProof running. Click YES.
|
|
|
|
If you can't get to a computer where the extentions off method works tell a nice teacher that you
|
|
need to move some files and you need FoolProof to be off. He should turn it off and when he
|
|
isn't looking you can copy FoolProof to a disk.
|
|
|
|
- At Ease: At ease is a different Operating System than the Mac OS and it won't let you out
|
|
unless you have the password. If you have a nack for guessing passwords try that. Do this: hold
|
|
COMMAND and hit the POWER key. You should get a box with a little > prompt. Type G FINDER to
|
|
get back to the finder. If this doesn't work run as many applications as you can to clog up
|
|
memory. You should soon get a message saying "Not enough memory to run this application, would
|
|
you like to close At Ease?" Click yes (no, really?).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things to do to a computer once its unlocked:
|
|
- Change the colors: Go into Control Panel and change the colors of everything. It should
|
|
annoy sysadmins a bit.
|
|
|
|
- Change the font: Change the main font to Zaft Dingbats or Symbol so no one can read the
|
|
titles to things.
|
|
|
|
- Change icons: Change the names and pictures of a bunch of icons
|
|
|
|
- Put messages in StartUp items: Type a message and put it into the Startup Items menu.
|
|
|
|
- Shut down on StartUp: Go to Apple Menu Items and get the Shut Down item. Put it into the
|
|
StartUp itmes folder. Gee, I wonder what that would do?
|
|
|
|
- Relock: If you can get a version of FoolProof with no password assigned put it into use
|
|
with a different password so teachers will be locked out of their comptuers.
|
|
|
|
There are bajillions of other cool tricks you could do, so just play around. Remember:
|
|
Anyone can delete a file. There's no challenge in that, its just vandalism. It is much better
|
|
to make a kewl alteration to something then to delete it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fun stuff to do to Netscape:
|
|
|
|
- Change the home page location to either, your own page or a really nasty site.
|
|
|
|
- Change the font to Zaft Dingbats or Symbol
|
|
|
|
- Select "Always use my colors" on the Color prefs and change the backgroud, foreground and
|
|
links to white. It'll be more than slightly anoying.
|
|
|
|
Prank E-Mailing:
|
|
|
|
Change the Identity settings to someone else and send nasty E-Mail messages to all your favorite
|
|
teachers. Or if you really hate a teacher you can SPAM them like this:
|
|
|
|
1) First send as many messages as you can to the target with large attachments.
|
|
2) Go on the internet and sign the target up for a million mailing lists. A great place with
|
|
tons of mailing lists to sign her/him up for can me found at the "List of Entemology Resources
|
|
on the Web -- complete". Just type "insects" at infoseek.
|
|
3) Go into a weird newsgroup and type a bunch of messages asking people to mail you back as
|
|
the targets adress.
|
|
|
|
The Administration Shared Disk:
|
|
|
|
This is the server disk in which all the information about Grades, Discipline and a bunch of
|
|
other crap is stored. Sometimes you can find a link to it on a student computer by seraching for
|
|
theses words "admin","shared disk", and the name of your school district. If you get to it you
|
|
will probably need a User Name and password. Type the name of one of the Sysadmins at the school
|
|
in a bunch of formats like "last, first intial", "last, first", "first last" and so on. Then
|
|
try to guess a password. Use things like the persons kids names, wife's names and words like
|
|
"secret", "password", "school", "education" or other info. And easier way to get onto the
|
|
shared disk is to get on it directly from a sysadmin computer. Here is a way to get acess to one:
|
|
|
|
1) While your class is doing a report get some info on it onto a Mac formatted disk.
|
|
2) Right after school gets out, find a nice teacher that looks busy.
|
|
3) Tell him/her that you have info on a Mac disk and you need to get it put onto an IBM disk
|
|
so you can take it home to work on (tell him you have and IBM at home).
|
|
4) Ask him how you would do that (even though you probably know) just to act stupid.
|
|
5) He should tell you how and let you use the computer.
|
|
6) Start to copy the files and reformatt like you are supposed to be doing really slow until
|
|
he turns his back.
|
|
7) FIND the sysadmin shared disk and copy as much info as you can into a folder marked personal
|
|
on the disk.
|
|
8) Finish the copying and formatting.
|
|
|
|
The reason you named it personal is in case he wants to look in the folder you can just
|
|
tell him its private. Now you can read all the info and alter it to your liking. This may
|
|
containt info on passwords and other important stuff. After you edit it on the disk do the same
|
|
trick again either the next day (pretend you need to change them back to Mac files) or some
|
|
other day to a different teacher and replace the info currently on there with the new stuff.
|
|
If the reformat trick doesn't work here are some others:
|
|
|
|
- One day when you get in trouble and are in the principal or vice-principals office, if he
|
|
leaves the room for a while, really quickly copy the files. This is why you should ALWAYS carry
|
|
a disk in you pocket. It will come in handy.
|
|
|
|
- Simply sneak into a clasroom while the teacher's at lunch
|
|
|
|
Fun stuff you can get off the net. Go to El Grande's Mac Hack page (just look up
|
|
"El Grande's Mac Hacks" on infoseek). There are a bunch of cool Mac tricks that are very good
|
|
for usage on school computers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hacking from home: I'm not quite sure if it would be any use, but here is a way to get
|
|
the phone number of any school computer:
|
|
|
|
If your phone company has a number you can dial to find out where you are at (like 811) then
|
|
just do this: Go into a terminal (such as Microsoft Works Communications), dial 811 and listen
|
|
really closesly to the computer. You should be able to make out a number.
|
|
|
|
If your phone company has no such service then try this:
|
|
|
|
Right before you come home from school do this:
|
|
|
|
1) Go into a terminal (such as Microsoft Works Communications)
|
|
2) Dial your home phone number and let someone pickup and say "Hello" about 5 times or if no
|
|
one's home just let it ring for a while.
|
|
3) Go directly home, imediately.
|
|
4) Run to the phone and dial *69
|
|
5) If no one has called after you did, it should tell you the number of the computer you
|
|
dialed from.
|
|
|
|
Thats about it. This whole time I have been under the assumption that your school uses
|
|
Macs. If it doesn't there are many more tricks you can do on a PC as long as you know your
|
|
way around DOS. If you are fluent with DOS you have infinite power on a PC.
