Forum Thread: What system high schools use for network and security?

Agreed agreed agreed agreed (cant wait for that endless loop. Copy and paste would be so much helpful)

• BlackErpeton

agrees = ['Agreed','agreed','agreed','agreed','agreed']

while 1:
. . . print ' '.join(agrees)
. . . agrees.append('agreed')

'''Endless loop achieved'''

Well, now we can get back to the main topic YAY

Agreed.

oh, btw.. if he said "it's not a powerful system" it's maybe some in-house solution, but that's wild speculation. Do some reconaissance then... find the gateway ip, try to see what runs there, then try to make your way inside that. Try to trigger an alert and see if a blocking message is of any help to identify the software that is running. If you know who is in charge of the network you can try to target him and get the credentials. Or just propose to help him with network administration and have an access.

Be creative.

There are better ways. You could DoS attack the machine until it crashes, or maybe send exploits of different well-known programs and systems until one works, or just send remote commands to get info about the system.

I still prefer to DoS them.
Maybe it's so old that you could become a superuser by just sending a file through an email.

They just cut the WAN they only keep us connected to the LAN network so how can I DDOS that from a pc in the class?! Today, I happened to know that my teachers can't see what I'm doing also!

That's the same case here. But what matters more are the CCTV cameras that would be recording you, and the record that who sat where during a time(though even the system time is inaccurate, and we can't even see it, maybe with some minor calculations they can tell). Plus there's always people sitting near you who might have seenwhat you're gonna do, and they could punish everyone till someone opens their mouth(and they check the CCTV recording). What about some teacher seeing you?

The best way to find would be to attack the server, or maybe something else. I have a friend who short circuited the lab using some chewed asafoetida, and never got caught for it.

In my school it should be too easy as we don't have any CCTV cameras and I sit alone in a computer near the teacher's so he will never see what I do he never came next to me because he's already there and he knows I don't need any help, also I'm sure no one can see me doing anything but the problem is that I don't know how to attack it without using the most detectable viruses... I need something easy(since I can access the system) and efficient!

In India, I simply can't believe that they use very secure systems.It would be something around a WinXP or an old release of Debian at the highest(even that would be exaggeration, taking in account how much is security valued in this country).

At the lab, we use old-class computers connected with a server that just has a NetComputer Console to manage(and WinXP/7 and the tools we are to use, of course).

As to the main computers of the school(s), I wouldn't be surprised even if they run MS-DOS(actually, I would be, seeing that a school is putting this much resources in properly managing the system).

If you want raw stats, I have some of them. In India, there are only 20% of the needed security professionals, average salary for a CEH is around Rs.3-4lakh p.a.(around $6000)(I don't think employers usuallyeven know of another certification), yet no. of computer engineers is more than double the required amount.

Got A picture of the school's server :v yeah the real server!! and they're installing new Fiber optics with 8mb bandwidth (the purple cables).

and the PC I always use is currently not connected to the LAN, So how can I get the admin password from my pc ?
