I have a question about my schools network.?

Question

I am asking a question about bypassing my schools computer restrictions. Here's how our system works. When you sign on, the computer coneccts to the network and when it displays "applying your personal settings", it applies the restrictions (such as internet usage, no access to control panel, certain command line commands are prevented, etc.) My plan is, after i sign on, and before it displays that message, i uplug the network cable, then plug it back in. Can anyoen give me a general idea of what would happen? Is it possible for "them" to detect this? woudl i have all just local controls, but also "network" (i dont knwo the term) controls as well, if at all? any answers woudl be appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes you can unplug the network cable, as long as it doesn't have to sign into a domain server, if it just logs on to the computer (which I doubt it does) then you could simply unplug the ethernet (or what ever it uses). But most likely, it is a domain log on, and most likely, it runs a log on script that will install or check a big brother program, like a key logger or norton ghost or a sniffer or other things. It may detect that you unplugged something and just log you off, if they're skilled enough to write something like that, or it may simply finish loading the stuff when you plug the cable back in.



If you just want to get access to a blocked web page, just go through a proxy server....



And yes, they do know what your doing, so dont go looking at porn ot downloading songs illegally or anything. Infact, just messing with a computer like that will get you in A LOT of trouble, so, my advice, DON'T DO IT!

It sounds like the network is using "roaming profiles" meaning.. the profiles are stored on a server and you can log in with your user name and password at any one of the computers and it will always have your documents, desktop, etc.? So if you yank the network cable (timing really isn't going to matter), then you're just not going to receive some or all of your profile information. Plug the cable back in and watch as it magically finishes the process. I think you'll have to come up with something a bit more clever than "pull the cable out just at the right moment". The network admins (usually) know what they're doing. Just try to steal one of the network admins user name & password. Then you should have full access to whatever you wanna do. Plus it will log everything you do under them (and not your profile name) so it would be hard for you to get in trouble as long as you're not physically / visually caught doing something you're not supposed to.

Answer 3

As a network admin myself, Yes we do know what we are doing, and by you "pulling the plug", you would halt the network from loading your documents and stuff. And then if it is set up like my netowork, none of your programs would work until you plugged it back in. Then the computer also records the the removal of the network plug as an error, which is put in the system logs folder. Which they could then track back to you via the user name and password that you used. So piece of advice, don't screw with the network, admins will find out.
