in response to code puffins reply
WE"VE ALL READY TRIED BOTH OF THOSE THINGS!!!!!
we are not that stupid as not to know that. we have been disabled from registry editing
these were the first things that occured to me. so as you can see we aren't just some script kiddies thank you very much!!
To put it bluntly, you sir, are acting like a tool.Quote:
how the hell does that work? you two are such geniuses that you can take control of the school's website (i think that's what you said, your poor grammar and spelling make it hard to tell) yet you are incapable of changing the wallpaper on a school computer? wow, i find that hard to believe...if you really are this smart, why do you even bother? and btw, there winapi has a system call that will allow you to change the wallpaper (which, of course, i don't remember ), or you can change the corresponding registry key. are you happy now? it's that simple...so go fire up your compiler, if you know what that is, and get to ruining your admin's day.
the reg key to change is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\CONVERTED WALLPAPER
i think that's right, i didn't exactly put a lot of work into it...
just change it to C:\My Documents\iamalittleretartd.jpg and create a picture of yourself being impaled in a stick with the corresponding name.
btw: sorry to everyone who i might anger with this post, but i'm really tired of seeing this thread. Eww, I'm going to get negged i think :P
My main Rebuttals:
1)I never said we were geniuses, makeing your point moot.
2)Your spelling(refer to point 5) and grammar is not so hot either, really.
3) as Robbo said, Out admin has disabled Registry Editing. he has also disabled pretty much everything but the start menu. we can't even have Clip art in Microsoft office.
4)Yes we know what a compiler is, to the point that I am near done programming my own one.
5)hmm. This is just stupid, since you seem to have mis-spelt retard, you retard. If you are going to insult someone, at least don't let them laugh at your stupidity.
6)thank you for apologising, even if it was not directed at me and Robbo.
And also, in reply to vescovono, we offered, but they were insulted and Refused.
from what i can tell, you cause the problems that made your admin lock the systems down. And from what I've read in your posts, you are nothing but script kiddies. You blatently boast about sending viruses and trojans to your friends not to mention the admin. And I happen to agree with someone earlier, that if you are capable of doing half of the things you mentioned why is the wallpaper giving you such a hard time?
It's childish moronic illegal behavior like you are boasting about that is what gives the rest of the security community a hard time. You are are the problem with today's society. You decide that even though you don't deserve somthing that you need to have it and break many laws to give yourself somthing that isn't yours, then complain because people impose strong rules to stop imbeciles such as yourself.
I look at your posts here and it kills me, pouring millions into education and these imbeciles are our future? Makes me wanna do somthing drastic... like move to canada.
Would somebody please kill this thread so the server space could be used for more useful purposes?
This should help sum up why Admins thend to be kinda Anal about everything :)

wow, that's hilarious...of all of the posts i've made on this site, that was the most positive antipoints i've gotten! hehe, now i have more points than ever before...in response to the attack on my spelling of retard...um, i won't make any excuses, i didn't proofread my post, so that was stupid. as to my being a "tool" i can only say...well, although there are a million things i'd like to say, i don't think i'll be able to express myself monosyllabically! wtf is that supposed to mean, calling me a tool? as it turns out, one of the main reasons i'm telling you this is because of the problems i've had at my school, with the sysadmin. i'll admit that i completely loathe her, but i try to help her whenever the opportunity presents itself, as i myself have at times caused problems for her. the only reason i'm still allowed to use school computers is because...wait, i'm not anymore! screwing with school computers is a bad idea, even if you don't actually get caught. trusting one too many people can screw you over completely.
and btw, there are ways to get around the whole thing about editing the registry...like having the admin sign on to a computer, and executing the program that will change the registry key...ahh, so many little unnecessary periods...and for that matter, unnecessary posts...
hmm, flame time.
"2)Your spelling(refer to point 5) and grammar is not so hot either, really. "
3) as Robbo said, Out admin has disabled Registry Editing. he has also disabled pretty much everything but the start menu. we can't even have Clip art in Microsoft office.
you spelled OUR wrong there man.
5)hmm. This is just stupid, since you seem to have mis-spelt retard, you retard. If you are going to insult someone, at least don't let them laugh at your stupidity.
awww how cute you called him a retard, and miss spelled lol, oh hell this is to easy man give me a challenge to work with.
my fav part is the if your going to insult someone at least dont let them laugh at your stupidity when you went typo on this post, lol thats cute, lamer.
*in a school somewhere in the world*
Lamer: "Hey man, we can be leet, even though i cant change the wallpapper on a Windows box i can write my own compiler"
LAMER #2: "whats a compiler? hey lets go ask how to change the background on this website."
hey were leet, we have major haxored our school, but umm, the wallpapper is to hard, please help?
lolololol *runs off to piss self laughing.*
coder puffin,
if the admin where you are is as stupid as to let students use the admin's passwords and accounts then i pitty the soul that has to put up with you.
this is the first of many posts as if i point out all your faults at once i believe that you may go and do something stupid and i can't have something like that on my shoulders
goon
"You blatently boast about sending viruses and trojans to your friends not to mention the admin"
1)i dont know what you've been smoking lately but neither me nor churba said anything about trojans or virii.
2)i actually didn't set out to find out how to change the wallpaper it's just seemed to be interpreted that way.
3) your use of "childish moronic illegal behavior" although not constructed properly is semi true
is may be childish but being 15 i still am a child, moronic i must say that i am at times but who isn't, and illegal since when has changing the wallpaper of a computer become illegal?
4)"pouring millions into education and these imbeciles are our future" we are imbeciles yet we've managed to get around the admins security? the clue meter is reading zero
5)"Makes me wanna do somthing drastic... like move to canada." is there something wrong with canada? many people live there and have lived there for a long time.
and that my friends is whats wrong with society that people are not tolerent and don't think before they say things.
I'm getting sick of this, really. Most of us are being Bloody Childish about all this, So I think I'll just move along to other things.
By the way, "coder" puffin, since you status in these Fourms is newbie (like mine, Because I don't really care for these fourms, I Prefer PCPP and Talkitup), I have one last thing to say(sort of.)
A picture is worth a thousand words, so this says it all.
I bid you all farewell, and an apologies to all I offended.
I was going to leave this thread alone and let it run it's course until it quit wasting everyone's time.. but i do enjoy reading some of the rather humerous posts that find their way in here..
I have to, however, comment on this post by robo3245
First of all it's a sad state of affairs if you still consider yourself to be a child at 15, as for everyone being moronic at times, that's a matter of opinion that I would disagree with.Quote:

Now on to the big point, which I have bolded.
If you are locked out from changing the wallpaper, it is because your school's AUP says you can't do it, so the admin is locking you out, so if you change the wallpaper it is illegal, you've broken into a system that isn't yours to change settings. Companies (schools included) don't do this because they want to keep you from having fun, they do it for several reasons which have already been posted. The biggest reason in todays society is the waste of time it causes. When you get out into the working world are you going to bypass restrictions on your company workstation to change the wallpaper, because then not only are you committing an illegal act of breaking into a system (even if it is for something minor like changing the wall paper) but also you've stolen time from that company, time which you could have been doing productive work (sure it may be a few seconds but those seconds start adding up) this is why companies no longer allow employees to check personal email at work, or surf the net. It ties up system resourses and company resourses, and it is theft... real theft, not just some joke.. .. it can result in the lose of a job and charges being laid...
Start thinking before you do stupid things.. and even better yet... next time stop and think before you even open your mouth.
hey
ofcpurse, thwe admin may be somewha feeling more insecure about his network, or sometimes, due to the saddistic feelings or sometimes want to dominate others to say in othher words, he feels that he is the ultimate and no one should break his network and to ensure this, sometimes he will disable even the basic features and confirm his act.
but most of the times we should not mistake the admin as he is always trying to secure the network, ofcourse leaving those exceptional extrapride people, others will be good.
Churba and robo, if you two are kids then you really should start thinking about things in the bigger picture. I guess my last post really didn't kick in yet huh? Moving down the path of the darkside will only get you guys into bigger trouble. I mean come on, what would make you see all of this, do you need to watch the beginning of the movie "Hackers" to understand the facts of life. Using a computer isn't all about "being in control", being able to crack someone's password or code to get around the problem, it's about using the computer as a tool that has many features. As was said above, don't you think that maybe because of what you two have been doing has lead to the whole "lock down" on the computers at school? Plus I do have to ask again, if you guys are so good why bother with the computers at school... what does it do for you? Are the school admins trying to frame you for somethign and you need to "hack them" to get information to prove you are innocent of the crimes you're being charged with? If not, then why is it so "cool" that you went and "modified" the school's website?
You admitted to your age, then understand that you are still "children" learning. You are old enough to know right from wrong, but you are not old enough to understand how it is in the real world. Stuff like what you have done, and are trying to do, could get you locked up for a few years. Computer crimes are getting stronger and stronger sentences. Look at the 11 year old kid that changed his grade in the grading system on his teacher's computer... that could be you guys.
If you're going to have such a know-how of computers, then you should also grow up and understand the power you have. Doing what you've done, is it really that important or "cool"? Sure everyone who is better at computers than their high school admin has probably done a little something bad. Learning experience, nothing bad happened. So why don't you stop before it's too late, use you're skills for good and maybe help that admin out. Maybe you can help your admin to give the students what they want, but be able to keep people with computer skills from doing what you two have done? Hack the hackers, you can still use your skills and maybe even get some added "perks" at school?
Knowing computers can give you a lot of added perks at school if you use them for good. For all you know maybe you will be trusted with passwords and such if you show you're not going to abuse your power.
But for now all you guys are going to be is lamers, because you haven't done anything cool... and hacking isn't "cool" with anyone like us. All you look like is stupid little kids who will probably be in jail come your 18th birthday (if you're lucky) with this way of life.
I agree @ AciDriveHB totally. Well said.
Cheers.
whoever said anything about the admins letting us sign on using admin accounts? where did that come from? your ass, perhaps?
well i only just go here and couldn`t be arsed to read through 6 pages of posts so i`ll come right in.
i dunno what the network is, if i did this could help, i`ll go with windows.
now i`ll say one way (the old way nowadays heh with all these tools and shix) google for the windows policy editor. this can be found on the windows95 installation CD too (if u have it) if not look on the net. then search the net for .adm files, 'restrictions.adm' was the one i had fun with and which covers most stuff, so aim for that.
on the network open up the policy editor, then within that open up 'restrictions.adm' and run, it`ll show the network settings which u can (dis/en)able, e.g. 'change background', (either a tick the checkbox for enable or tick for disable, one of those) and basically there'll be about 100 things there u can play with, which will give u access to IE settings, network settings (mainly small stuff like games, sending msgs etc) and give u access to the control panels, being able to modify etc too, also u can choose to have the settings stick to the terminal of just ur user or to go back to default after logout, i`d suggest the latter.
People are actially quite stupid, they complaint about not being able to personalise the computers at school.. they find a way around the security.. THEN complaint when the computer stop working..
If only all admin were like BOFH, then stupid users would learn.. Mwahaha !!

Have you tried exporting the pic into paint then in paint going to file set as wallpaper
yes tried that ne other suggestions?
I spend most of my time at school on my computer and I still have the same old green-blue backround....are school dosnt block that but how cares its a backround. I am doing stuff on the computer so I cant see it and it dosnt mean anything to me. So why in gods name is it so important to change the backround? I dont see a point to this!
I just read what AciDriveHB wrote and I agree. I am still in high school and my school admin knows alot but me and a few other (tim_axe) help him out with alot of stuff, I have all the admin password even to the server and thats because he can trust me! Trust can go along way...try it youll get alot ferther with a password then you will if you try to hack it.
