Tips & Tricks for School Computers

Hello!

I have decided to make a small list of the "vulnerabilities" (more less tricks) in my school computer system. These are Windows only.

Some of these "vulns" may not work for you.

Universal:
  • BIOS password is just the enter key
    • If that doesn't work, the escape key might work, too
  • If your school redirects the C:/ drive to another partition, you can open the directory of where a program is located and move back in directories till you get to the root of the C:/ drive
  • Execute cmd commands through a notepad batch file
Windows 7:
  • The wallpaper isn't normally changeable, however, opening Firefox and changing the background via an open image will work. This lasts until you log off (in my case, anyway)
  • Get an elevated command prompt with this
    • This allows you to create an administrative account, allowing you to do whatever the fuck you want
Windows 10:
  • You can change the background by editing the themes cache in the AppData folder
  • Windows + X can open cmd or powershell (taskbar preferences)
There are probably more, I just can't think of any on the top of my head.

I am not responsible if you tamper or get in trouble.


Enjoy!

Best bet is not to as it seems schools these days overreact horribly and while you might win the court case it is still going to be 2 years down the line. Also make a friend with wifi that lives next to the school or if you are not in a whitelist only situation then tunnel in to your house. Also on BIOS there are times where you can bypass passwords that might have been set with backdoor passwords ( http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/reference/biosp.htm ). Not to mention unless your school bans things then bringing in a laptop, phone, tablet or something else is an option.

After that you can go technical, it is certainly how I learned a lot, however it is also a prime location to learn person hacking instead -- I can talk the maths of cryptography but the easy way in is usually via the meat that runs things. If you have ever noticed people shout when they have headphones in then know something similar applies to sight for people with glasses, it is not for nothing that IT/science people have attracted the label speccy. If you have full sight, even if you are corrected yourself, you should be able to spot them enter admin passwords from far away. Best thing to train on is code locks for doors before moving to keyboards. Of course it is also 2016 so small and easy to conceal recording devices are also an option.

There is always the Chance to kill certain orohrams even of the task Manager is blocked. In many case you still have access to the cmd windows (windows key + r - cmd). If the cmd window actually opens type in tasklist.

This command if it works will list you all running Programms much like the task Manager would. There you just search the pid of the programm you want to try to kill and type in:
taskkill -f -pid xxxxx

xxxxx being the pid (process id)

I read that, doesn't work as they "removed" the startup repair (I get an error code, whether it's from F8 or from turning off the PC on the Windows loading screen). And since I can't boot with anything but the Internal HDD, shit outta luck.

Hm, Startup repair was removed? My schools computer doesn't have that problem...

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
