they freak out when you get into MSDOS/Command prompt
Published on January 11, 2005 By MadPyro In WinCustomize Talk
so funny. it started with a net send message to my friend saying "hi"

problem is that we arent supposed to be able to get into drive C: to access the command.com file right? wrong. easy enough to access it using any application out there. MORONS

ok, so i net send a message to my friend... that was yesterday...

today, 6th period, 2 security personelle come in to escort me to the friggin principals office. HA! i need no escort... i walk calmly to the office and sit down to wait.

chat a little with the security morons and find out that this is about MSDOS and me. quickly, i formulate a plan in my mind: bullshit em so much that they wont even know it.

so, finally, the principal calls me in and asks me to sit down, the two security morons on either side of me.

"so, do you know what this is about?"
"well kind of, steve [security moron #1] hinted that its about msdos stuff"
"yes, you see, we have disabled command prompt from these school computers for a reason, so that kids [pauses] cant harm the school's system and somehow, you managed to get into it and did something there..."
"yes?"
"and we feel that this may pose a threat to our system"
"*chuckle*"
"whats so funny?"
"well, you see, two things;
1. command prompt isnt disabled, its hidden in drive C: to which the system doesnt allow access.
2. MSDOS cant do much against xp. all i did was test sending a message to a friend using net send, it worked so i was like sweet!"
"yes and we feel that this can be a threat to us."
"sir, if i wanted to screw up the school system, there are alot easier ways of doing that. and if i wanted to screw it up, i would NOT use my account to do it from"
"hm..."
"see, on windows Xp, you disabled access to drive C:. when i am bored, i screw around... one day, while trying to load objects for lightwave into lightwave, i was forced to find a way to get into drive C:."
"yes...?"*takes notes*
"so, all i did was open lightwave, go file....open....browse... and in the address bar, type "C:". all that did was throw me to "my documents", i found this kind of funny since it should show "drive C: inaccessible" so i hit the "up one level" button and it took me back one level, i hit it a couple more times and Ooo... drive c: bingo! i opened lightwave and objects and i was able to load an object."
"yes? and how does this make you able to open command prompt?"
"same way i opened that i can open command.com... see? go windows/system32/command.com [opens it on hit computer]"
"i see... and how do you do this 'net send'thing?"
"*sigh* [type 'net send maloym test'] see? message arrives saying test"
"i see...."
*scribbles notes*
[i notice security morons leaning to see it too]
****bell rings****
"saved by the bell... can i go catch my bus? you can call me in tomorrow"
"ok, i will call you in around 3rd period"
"ok {[mutter] sheesh...}"

heart pounding, i pick up my backpack and head out the door... i walk by the front desk and notice the secretary staring at me with a dissaproving glance....

-----------to be continued tomorrow after the next debate--------------------

wish me luck, i cant get suspended, im a senior and i need to finish this year...

OK, you guys wanna acces the C: drive when it is locked by the Admins. If you try to open C:, it says it is locked by Admin or something, so this is what you do:

1. open my pictures,
2.open sample pictures, and looka t the address bar, it has the entire path to the C: drive.
3. then push the arrow button (not the "back" arrow button, but it should be the 3rd to the front.
4. keep pressing until you're in the C: drive. YAY! we fooled Microsoft!

now since your here, you can acces everyones account, do anything you want, and can change the Windows "system32" stuff... have fun.


*sorry about the spelling, i AM a freshman.

yup thats kind of what i did. except that i used internet explorer to do it through "open" i am not going to screw around... gonna lay low for a while.

In my opinion you shouldn't be in trouble because the school uses insecure 'protection' software. However, you being a student in America, prisoners have more rights than you.

Testing a system's flaws in security is not your 'job'.  Being devious and invasive exceeds your 'rights' as a school computer user....I wouldn't be surprised or care that you were expelled.

It is the equivalent of going up on a 10 storey balcony.....look at the 'protection' of the 1000mm high ballustrade and 'prove' its failings by climbing over and jumping off..."hey, look...I broke through the 'security'".

An idiot is born every minute.  Generally they do not enjoy longevity....

because something is permissible or capable doesn't make it profitable.

Whoa! white digits on black background...
