Thanks melee master! Best Prank ever

Posted by shadowstrike32 on May 24, 2006, 5:11 p.m.

Yesterday melee master released a small command file which forces a shutdown. So i brought it to my school, and decided to put it on the network, by first hacking into an administrator account.

<div style="background-color: #CC7711; border-top: solid 1px #993300; border-left: solid 3px #993300; border-right: solid 1px #993300; font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana; color: #FFEEDD; font-weight: bold;">Reminiscing: Today at school</div><div style="background-color: #FFEEDD; border: 1px solid #993300">So today i hacked in a copy of this, replacing word's EXE file within the shortcut on the desktop, and broadcasted it to every computer. First, the network booted everybody off because it had to apply new settings. So the shutdown dialog showed up and everybody had a chance to save. Needless to say, there were quite a few angry students who had last minute papers to do, but that is their problem, isnt it?

So when the network came back online, and all those poor procrastinators went to launch word, there was like a collective 'WTF?!?' (and a few other rude comments). The librarians (naturally) whent ballistic, and the teachers who had been afflicted by this were raving. The technicians at the school are on break, and nobody can figure out who did it or what happened. Not like those dumbass technicians could figure it out anyway.

This program caused quite alot of chaos today =)</div>

Pwnt.

<b>Edit:</b> Yay 10 freinds! i feel loved!

Congratulations!

You just pwned your school!

Man I wish I could hack into an admin account. Then I could disable the damn monitoring software. But im only in year 7 XD. So I don't know the tricks and stuff in the network. Before they upgraded to win XP I used the cmd to delete stuff. Good fun.

schools should be more carefull with their admin pwrds. I don't even know my schools admin username, so I couldn't even try that.

pretty smart…

On my school PCs I found a *.bat file which administrates your account when you run it, and another *.bat account which turns it into a student account. Man you can have fun switchin to admin mode and back without anyone noticing XD

*.bat files are the best. My school (I went there for a CAD class) has very competent admins, and the only way for me to run commands is with batch files. Even right-click in Explorer is disabled, and they use a whitelisted proxy of some sort.
