Kids, Computers, and the Law

Heh....its really quite easy to get around anything they put on these computers. I do it all the time. All they do is block the chat client ports, so I just change them to use port 80 and everything is OK. As for the filters, I just use a proxy to get around them. Piece of cake.

I can even access every file on machine (most of which are normally locked) if I wanted to by running Knoppix from a Live CD. Its really quite sad.


Of course, I do this all as proof of concept. I know the computer guy pretty well at my school, and he's OK with me doing it, since he says it helps him with security anyway.
