Alright so we have all been on computers where you are not able to do all the things you want to. Say you want to access some pages on the internet that you are not able to, or maybe you can't even access the internet at all. Or maybe you want to be able to run programs and install things that you are not allowed to. Well never fear, this tutorial should show you some basic tips on how to get around network security systems. We will start off with how to run programs, get files off the computer to your house, and then move into how to get the internet and use it freely.
Okay so here you have some game or something you downloaded that you are not allowed to play, because of access restrictions, no problem, hopefully. Here is plan A, rename the program to a application that is trusted. So say you know you are allowed to open notepad.exe, or word.exe, or something of the sort. Well you have to remember that computers are dumb, they can only identify things by information passed to them. Most security systems operate on name alone, so simply rename the file something that is trusted, with any luck that should get your program running. If that doesn't work then we will need to do something a little more advanced.
Windows holds all its passwords for login accounts in what is called the .sam file. This file is normally found in C:\windows\system32\config\sam. However that one is usually protected by windows, so there are several ways we can get a hold of it, sometimes in the c:\windows\system32\repair directory there is an unprotected version of the sam file that you can copy. Also you can download password cracking boot disks that use a linux kernel that boots the system, the you can overright the current password with on of your own without having to know the original. The reason you can't just look at the password is because windows uses a one way encryption, which is more complex than I really feel like getting into. Anywho the bottom line is that unless you use a program like lopht to crack the password, you cannot just look at it, you have to use a linux boot disk to overright it. So you have two choices, get the .sam file and run it through a program like lopht, or submit the hash (the long string of numbers and letters that is what the original password looks like after encyption) to a place that can crack it. Or just overright it with a linux boot disk. What we are trying to do is get the password to the administrative account so we can use the "run as" option in windows, and hopefully using that option and runnig your program as an administrator will let you seem to have the enough access privlages to fool the security system. The problem with the linux boot disk is that when the real administrator goes to logon to the system sometime in the future, and finds that his password doesn't work, questions will be asked, questions you don't want to answer, so use that way at your own risk. If you are tying to crack the sam file (which is the way I will reccomend) you first need to get the same file to your computer for cracking.
With todays internet it is pretty easy to move files around. Basically here are your best options.
E-mail
FTP Server
Flash Drive
Floppy Disk
Some sort of web sharing thing
Just so you know this site offers free ftp server if you have an account. So just go over to ftp upload snag the sam file, and throw in into the server. Then when you get home use can click the ftp link and login to get the file off of the server. You may have to right click and click save as. So that is one option. Or else you can email yourself the file as an attatchment, or if you have a flash drive stick it on there, or bring a floppy disk.
Im tired of typing ill do this later.
