You'll probally need to use a proxy of sorts. Either web based, or as a setting you change in internet explorer. |

Hah! Get this... in my school, they blocked off all acess to the hard/cd drives/most commonly (ab)used sites... but they didn't take into account that the virus scanning software still had acess to those things! All you gotta do now is open any Norton Antivirus common file dialog (and it makes it even easier that it's integrated into IE), and once you're there all you gotta do is type the path/url or what you're looking for and BAM! Simple as that. |

That's not even the worst part. We can't get to sites like GameTutorials.com! They're actually restricting my learning! |

I've e-mailed Soucie already and complained. He says that it was his boss (I forget his name.) I am hoping to get certain sites unbanned. Most filters allow you to list sites that you want to override the rules. As for getting stuff back and forth attach them at compsci or if you can scrounge up $50 you can pick up a 128Meg. memory stick (Bestbuy has a few in that range) |

Well I was reading the official memo sent out by the tech heads over at GECDSB, and they stated that they've blocked off any sites which include : Advertisement, Porn, Games, Web-Based E-mail, Downloads, Hacking, Illegal Activities. Although like Bugz said, it only seems to be blocking sites with the title in their URL, or located somewhere on the front page. Japanese sites and Misc. sites seem fine They specifically stated that they've blocked off Hotmail, due to the amount of evidence they found that people use Hotmail at school to send death threats and viruses. What's worse is their solution: Use some shit called gaggle.net. The site itself calls it a "teacher supervised" e-mailing system, which means your rights are thrown out when you sign up for it. From the tone of the memo, they tech heads will be keeping these blocks as a permanent solution to the crap that's been going on in the networks. In the meantime, like the comp sci teacher's have stated, you can still upload and download by using the Briefcase feature in Yahoo. Also, [url]guardster.com[/url] is another good web proxy (though still no logging into e-mail accounts).[/url] |

LOL, u think that messes with your rights just take a look in to lanschool if your school uses that. It see everything you do on the comp and can even send SS or let teachers wtach your screen from any where on the network. Alought it is horbly unscuery so realy any one can see what you are doing not just the staff and mess with what u are doing as well. |

Yeah our school has LANschool installed. But isn't there some kind of restriction on when a teacher can view your work? I mean, I don't think my accounting teacher should be able to view my work when I'm logged in for my comp sci class right? In most cases the teacher's aren't big enough jerks to check up on us, prolly only when we're playing games when we shouldn't be. |

man... my personal network drive is crzy... its over 1gig (150 mp3s, quake 1 ... doom 1 - 2... warcraft 1... some others ..!!! ... and total network drives combined (including the shared programs.. and the shared teachers drive *teachers post files there)is only 40 gigs.. or 40 gigs left.. not shure.. so i take a lot.. 
but thats harsh... to get into those sites.. simple: get win xp... make a bootable ISO with winxp and have the admin pass on it then go to boot order in startup thingy (del button) and go CD drive first.. then u have acess to change the pass ans shit on the C drive and change the admin pass.. this kid told me how he did it... ** then i saw him log in as amin without the cd.. it was nuts... he had MSN and kazaa and quicktime... + some other shit.. dont remembner now..  teahcers watching over students.. the kids in my school are realy imature ... all they play is games... when they should be posting on compsci.ca or my forum

yes and no, it depondes on how they got lanschool set up. Ushely it is set up by computer lab so the techer runing that lab can see anything on the computers in that lab. Alougth the hole school may be on the same chanle then any teacher that has accuses to lanschool teacher verson could see any comp in the school. More consering tho, is that lanschool mas fudmental desing falws that make it so any one with basick knogle of netwrok packets could take over it and do w/e they whont to any comp using lanschool. Quote: Iv got this.. school vista (same as lan school? idk).... LanSchool != school vista. School vista is just a network setup by IBM withch realy sucks and is deisded porly. Realy it is just a verosn of windows NT with some cusomte setings and they call it School vista b/c all the comps are IBM  |

With Schoolvista your admin can set your account to bypass the goofy class view and go straight to windows. If he/she does that you can still log into the school vista system to access stuff that is assigned to a book. The key is to have a good reason to bypass the system. After a few years of using Schoolvista I used to set all of my students to log straight to windows. |

dan:do you know how to get around the right-click lockout? |
|
| Author: | Dan [ Sat May 29, 2004 4:18 pm ] |
| Post subject: | |
I think i could get it to be reabled by messing with your registery for your user acount BUT u can all ready get to almost everything on the right-click menu anyway. Like for porpitrys just do Alt-doble click delete is Ctrl-d rename is F2 Also you can get most of the right clikc menu options just by using the file menu, if it is on the desktop then u could just go to the dekstop dir and then use the file menu. If you whont to mess with the registry you ushely can not use regeidt b/c it is locked down but if you make a reg file with the chages you whont to make in the right format and then execute it, it will ushely make the chages. Note: The bellow talks about a seucrity issue in lanschool that has been fixed in v7.0 As for LanSchool, I realy dont think schools should uses it. Any one who know how to make a progame to send pakets could write up an app to take over LanSchool and could do anything a teacher could with LanSchool, incuding on spying on poleolp, shuting down comps, shuting down lanschool on all comps on the network, making the screen black, un making the screen black, boracsting anything they whont to any computer or all of them, taking over computers and much more fun stuff that LanSchool is not ment to do like crashing the comps by sending messed up packtes to LanSchool. It is not hard to figger out the portical for LanSchool ether, the demo verson free on there site has "safteys" so it will not work with realy verson but the portical is the same so any one could download it, figger out the portical and then modify it to work with the real verson. Also if the school dow not have a firewall, a person could exitute thess lanschool comands from anywhere as long as they know the schools ip. Also if the schools are linked together by school borad it is posable for a student to mess with muitplay schools at the same time. Now being the good guy that i am i tolad LanSchool about this crazyness and even sugested serveral methods to fix it so it whould not be such a seruity risk. BUT they toald me they whould rather work on aresting hackers and students that expoite this then work on fixing there software. Also they then threated me with being expilted or supsdeded from school and posabley arsted and cahreged with crims if i ever used it. Also it should be noted that thess method lanschool has of telling how toke over the comps with lanschool dose not work agested my method becuse i take out the name of the user and the name of the masine in the protical so there loging app will recored nothing or ever worse the wrong infomation. This means i could put another user name in the packet and it whould make it look like that person did the actack on lanschool from w/e comp u slected. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. Think about it with LanSchool incugering schools to expeal and supend poleop that hack netwroks and any one that knows some stuff being able to make it look like any one they whont hacked the network, it could lead to many wrongfull charges agested students. Also it will give any one who realy dose hack the netwrok a prity good fake exuces since there log system is flawed they could just say it was faked. Any how in conculsion LanSchool = Bad. P.S. if you whont to know more about the protical for lanschool check out the comic site  |

For more space you can hide files in places on the netwrok most poleop incuding the admin at my school do not know about like the driver where all the user floders are, the driver where all the progaem floders or the driver where all the class are. Ushely the floder are protected but the main level of them that just list all the class or progames or user floders is not and has unlmisted disk space. Also the admin ushely dose not look here b/c they think no one can get there + the apps they uses to admin the network dont show this area (i think at least) but rather just show what floders there are and not what files. |
