Gaining Access

Some basic ways to get some access on VERY insecure networks...try your school.

SO...you've found a nice looking computer and you think to yourself, "self...I would really love to use that thing." Well, this should give you a few options to try.

Windows 98:

Yes, I know this is a hella old OS, but it does have a few nice exploits and some schools (my old one for example)are ghetto and still use it.

1. At the log in screen most computers let you hit cancel and you logon as a default user.
2. Once you've done that, to gain full access Start>Run>msconfig>System.ini
3. Turn off the pw for the use you want, goto control panel and alter their pw there. Go back and turn it back on

Voila!

Windows XP:

Restart the computer and while its booting press F8. This will give you the option for safe mode. Many stupid admins( and most personal computers) will have it so you can log in that way...create your own ADMIN acct and rock out!

So your already on the computer, but you've got some blocks to deal with...here are some apps you can use to get past.

If you have...

Microsoft Word: type a url in and that should open IE

IE: You can use it for typing directories (C:\) or for command.com to run command prompt.

NotePad: write a batch that says either
http:\\www.google.com
which will get you IE
or
@echo off
command
@echo on

A blank CD: Believe it or not alot of Admins forget to turn of the "access the directory" xp thing when you put a writable cd in the drive...

Another nice little trick is using the wonderful net commands...but i'll leave that to ya'll to research.

These work at alot of schools because school admins aren't very good.
