failing that run a proxy at home, or a telnet server and relay off that..

but I shouldn't be encoraging you get back to work..

If you can find the open ports, just VNC to your PC at home.

take note : If you do sucessfully bypass any content filtering at school - you are breaking the terms of any AUP's in place. Its not unknown for people to be expelled for it.

so before you try them , dont forget to ask yourself , is your entire education worth it ?

As a fact, I got suspended for hacking RM systems and banned from my IT GCSE too. It seems smart at the time, but I'd recommend not bothering. (ps using babblefish translate will get round most, but you won't get photos.)

Oh, sorry. Suspended AND arrested. Charged with computer missue acts 1 and 2.

Thanks for posting Bazzlad

speaking as a sys admin myself I if I cought users bypassing my content filter , I would not be happy and would speak to HR about it.

I'm an IT tech myself, and I've often been questioned on my lack of IT Gcse. So I have the choice of lie, or tell the truth and try to explain I was trying to be cool and rebellious, not malicious. Either way, employees do NOT like hackers.

To be honest, websense filters stuff you shouldn't be on. I didn't find it TOO restrictive, but it may have changed in 6 years.

when i was in VIth Form i got caught tinkering with the comps, now looking back i got off lucky, only a warning :S Seriously though its not worth bypassing cause when you get caught you'll be sorry

[chuckskull]

I did this myself, and did it very well and still got caught. I wouldn't bother, you obviously have access to hexus so it's all good

I thought exactly the same mate

They would never of caught me if I hasn't wandered off to the bog with my admin account still logged in. no matter how good you are technically, you're still in a room with 30 other people most of the time

Don't send emails from one teacher to another and vica versa is my biggest tip. Then DO NOT brag about it. <------Biggest mistake ever, having a big mouth.

My College are extremly strict about this stuff unfortunately (unlike my secondary school).

They're not dumb either.. you could get around things by tunneling, but you can get in trouble plainly for that at my college.

I guess the safest thing to do would be to VNC to a home computer and do it that way, at least if you do get caught out you could say you were sorting out school/college work on a home computer.

Using a specialist made keylogger that still ran regardless of log off, I got a teacher to change my password. Printed the log file. Got the password of said teacher, logged on as her on her day off in an empty room, used Rm's password manager. Got in as hated English teacher and headmistress.

Email to headmistress from hated English teacher:

(In professional terms) I've decided to leave as of monday, don't discuss it with me, I don't want to talk to you about it. etc

Email to hated English teacher to head mistress:

My mind is made up, I'm leaving this monday. Do not approach me about it, mention it to other staff or even discuss it with me. etc

The pefect crime.
In theory. Until Stourbridge police got involved.
