O.K so tommorow I'm gonna get told of for two things,

1) *hacking* the school network (taking of a floppy disk left by a teacher) and e:mailing someones report to people breeching the data protection act (sending some prats report to a couple of mates who had a quick chuckle and then deleted it).

2) *hacking* a admins account (finding a loophole allowing me to get into c:\) and redering a computer useless to anybody but myself (changing the access rights outta curiosity and accidently buggering up a computer).

So first I get told off by my IT teach a few weeks ago and now my parents have been rung and I have to get told of by my head of year (and probably the techniction who I pissed) and then my parents have to come into school and I have to get told off again.

These two small things (that took about two secs to do and were done outta boredom) have turned into something pretty big - I don't normally get into much trouble a school.

Just wondering, those who can, whether you could check the IP(s) below and see what weaknesses / holes there are in the guys connection. Basically it's a mates who has broadband and seems to think that he doesn't need to protect himself with firewalls, we were dicussing it in ICT, and I was just wondering wether this was the case...

IP : - 80.0.15.92, 62.252.224.7

My computer has been switching off randomly recently. I leave it on occasionly overnight and when I return to it in the morning I find it has rebooted itself. I've been around twice when its re-booted and it has flashed up a blue error screen for a few seconds just before it begins. Its now gotten a whole lot worse. The machine and the monitor have started to disagree with on and another and when the computer boots up (the fans start spinning and the hard drive whirrs) the monitor stays dead with the flashing message that its not reciving any signal (also the keyboard doesn't work when booted up - the "num lock" light that flashes up when its got power doesn't light. This refusal to boot has only occured over the last two days. The first time I unplugged all the cables and hooked it up to my old monitor. Everything worked fine so I put it back as it originally was and it worked o.k. I left it on for a while and when I came back it had re-booted. I used it for a while and then a blue error screen flashed up and it went again. I managed to get it up and running by  reseting the CMOS on the mobo. A while later it went down again and this time it looks pretty dead. The main unit still powers up but the monitor stays dead. I've tried hooking it up to my old monitor and reseting the CMOS but to no avail. I cannot think of what else I can do to get it to work. Finally when I try to boot - sometimes - it up the P.C lets out a longish beep (lasting a few secs) every so often. I have no idea whats caused it. The P.C's fairly new and its not got too much data on it - the newest "suspect thing I've got is DivX pro. It came with some ad-ware. I know this on its own is harmless but I blocked it from accessing the net and used "Ad-Aware" and "spybot" to remove a few of the companats. I know its probably not that but its about the only thing I can think of thats been causing problems on my P.C. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and how I can solve it?

Thanks in advance

Is there a simple way of telling the speed of a AMD processor manually - preferablly without removing the fan.

I have just started having problems with Internet Explorer. In the last few days it began becoming really slow to pop up after clicking on the IE icon on the desktop. It took about 30 secs to load. Now its not doing anything when clicks on. Once a window is open the net speed is standard - 56K - and if you click on a link which opens another window it comes up fine - the problem is with the intial loading of IE. Its got to such an extent that - whilst connected to the internet - I cannot open any window (My computer, my docs or anything). The mouse shows the loading time thing and then nothing. But once I've disconnected from the net all the things I clicked on suddenly appear. I have recently installed 2 updates from the "windows update" thing which were tiny files to fix small security holes. I have also tried uninstalling IE 6 and then re-installing it but this, if anything, made it worse.

I would really appriciate help on this as its a pretty major concern.

Thanks

I was just wondering. I was watching Dawsons Creak the other day and they're all in collage. In the U.S do you go to college at 16 or 18? If 18 then is it an alternative to Uni? Also, on the ame note,  when you graduate from high school is this at 16 or 18? I know all the cast are older than their script counterparts but they've moved citys - in some cases like 3000 miles - and at 16 this would be a big undertake.

Whether you guys could check out my forum. Give me feedback on colours and stuff and mebye sign up...? I'm thinking of setting up a small package to send to webmasters asking if they would put links up on their pages. I could really do with a smallish logo and banner to put in there - hints to the pros at prgrams like paintshop and photoshop to give him a hand. I do have Photoshop7 but I can't do anything with it  

Thanks and I'll hope you'll help my forum be as sucessfull as this one  

I was just wondering what the diff was between the two formats. When downloading stuff I always go for .Mpg as you can preview this type of file in advance. Is there really any advantage of .Mpg over .Avi and if so what? Is there any way of preveiwing .Avi files so you don't spend forever downloading a dud ( In Kazaa lite or Imesh ). Finally I'm uncertain of exaclty what the resolution numbers mean. In general I assumed that .Mpg had superior resolution but I have seen some .Avi files with larger numbers for resolution than their .Mpg equivilent. Is the higher the numbers the better the quality of picture in the same size screen or is it just a lager screen.

Thanks

After reading the rules post in this section forum I realised you underlined the fact that you are in no way a hacking forum. I just assumed you were as I picked up this site when I was searching for info on Sub7. Its weird that you have the info on one of the most feared virus thing on the net and yet seem to feel annoyed when people quiz you on such topics.

just a point,

( perhaps you should link to forums that do and point all n00bs in that direction)

O.K I understand that the accomplished 'hackers' dislike posts like this but how else is a guy supposed to learn...

I've looked everywhere for info on getting into a simple website but have so far had no luck. I've read tons of articles on IP sniffing port scanning and the like but I'm still at a loss at how to do this. Could anyone give a DETAILED account on how to do this - I was thinking along the lines of a site like http://www.qstart.com/renee. Either post it here - which would help lots of people that are in a similar predicement - or p.m me.  Oh yea I've tried that sub 7 thingy - without blowing up my P.C   - but it says that I need to get server version 1.2 but I have no idea where to get this from. I managed to get the Sub7 download from a german site and am pretty sure it wasn't there. The official site didn't work either. Any ideas? finally how would one go about getting into Hotmail - its not AOL - I have got that munga bunga cracker but am unsure of how to make it do a straight hack ( ie doing every combination it can). I have also got some cookies from Kazaa but these have so far proved unuasable as they are encoded or summat.

Bear in mind all of you were at this stage at one point in your life so don't get all pissed off and moody.
