Search the Forums here. Questions about Filtering and Blocking software have been asked before, you may find some help in a previous forum or thread.

yes i do, in fact i did work for my school, and i know the ins and out if bess. and no im not telling you how to get threw it, figure it out, that way youll at least LEARN!!!!
What exactly do you want to get to?
If it's blocked, the admin might have a reason for it?

Theres a link in there for you :)
My school had a rather hyperactive blocking software package as well.
I was asked by the techno-illiterate home-ec teacher to do some research for her on pollution.
It took me roughly half an hour to find what she needed.
I took me three hours to get around the stupid software to load the blasted site.
To this day I am still not entirely sure what this filtering software was using as criteria to do it's blocking. There was nothing even remotely objectionable on the website. No smut, no swear words, no sex...nothing. The only thing I could think of is that the site was hosted on a server in Africa. Id on't know why that would be criteria, but that was the only thing unusual about the site.
If I remember correctly in the end I finally used a mirror of a mirror of anonymizer to load the site. www.anonymizer.com. If the blocking software is smart, then it will block that direct addy, but there are mirrors upon mirrors that you can find to use, as well as many other anonymous websurfing products.
Just go play on google. You'll find something.

Yah but that site shes going to have to pay for that site......its not free.....

Yeah my school installed something like that the year I graduated, what i did was write a program in VB to re-enable all the key board commands (Alt-f4, Ctrl-Alt-Delete etc) then just brought up the task manager and closed the frackin program, they were none the wiser and I could finally get on the whitehouse web page :D
it doesn't by any chance point to geeksarecool does it??????Quote:

GUYS!! Ur nuts! but itz kewl. ur silly, but i'm sillier!! :jack: :tweety: but back to bess, i can't get on those sites from school. i'm checkin google, but its not workin. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Right click on the button and click save as and bring it to school on a floppy
good idea.........hmmmmmmm
*sigh*
Sometimes I wonder how we ever got anything done without the Internet (in school). *sigh*
Yeah, used to walk 20 miles up hill, to and from school, in the snow... yada, yada, yada...
read my sig. google pwnz
Well, it's official. I can't to anything to override Bess. I got caught w/ the floppy and it was destroyed. I didn't even get to use it. The admin. took it and opened it, found what was on it and erased it and broke it. Back to the drawing board. I'm lucky I didn't get suspended, otherwise I'd disappear for awhile.
Um....how did you get caught?
That wasn't part of the plan ;)
i had it in my purse and it fell out. someone from the school admin saw my website and decided to run a check on my discs that i had on me. the found 3 blanks and the override prog. for bess. so im screwed.:(
Mosttasteless,
the big problem is that schools have to use filtering software (even though it sucks) in order to keep from getting into trouble. When they figured out you could blow though it they had a big fit :(
Hey...everyone check their Antipoints!

well if u have access to a server with php functioning on it u could plorly use the following code to work around bess
just have to type in the address bar:PHP Code:<?php
foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $key => $value) $$key = $value;
$link = file($wh);
$tot = sizeof($link);
for($co = 0; $co <= $tot; $co++)
{
print "$link[$co]";
}
?>
whatever.com/getaroundbess.php?wh=http://yahoo.com/index.html
or whatever the full site address is and it should work
My two cents (assuming you are using Windows NT):
I haven't had to play around with Bess yet but when my school installed NetOp, the admin. took away everything... I was left with the ability to use M$ Word and other useless programs... so I started playing around with simple things that pretty much got me to what I wanted. I recommend starting out with regedit.exe ... if you can't use the RUN ... create a shortcut to regedit.exe and play around with Bess's string values... next try using DOS to use what you want... if its a program on the computer find the program name and type in "start program.???". If that doesn't work I would go to cyberarmy.com and use their shell breaker to get through to any drive or and then just delete the software off the computer.
