Bypassing School Security (White-Hat)

While following a tutorial on python recon tools, I found a new way to access the command prompt on a school network. While there are other ways of bypassing security, it's nice to learn use Python's OS library.

Simply use the following code:

import os

cmd = input("Command: ")

run = os.popen(cmd)

result = str(run.read())

print(result)

Got any modifications or found an error with my post? Let me know.

Note: If this works on your network, I suggest alerting your admin like the good white hat you are.
