Others have reported that vollabel doesn't work for them. Best bet would probably be to email the TRK developers.

I will for now, but it won't hurt to look more into DHCP, DNS, and the overall configuration of such a network (I'm assuming it will be similar to a small-medium business setup?). I'm in pretty good with the Admin, and I even talked to the district wide Admin (told him how I got into the computers, how I got the passwords, how easy/simple it is to get around Deep Freeze, and, of course, recommended solutions to the vulnerabilities.), so I could probably get permission to do a lot of stuff with very little effort, so I won't go trying/doing things without talking to the Admin first.

I sent him an email regarding the situation. I was told that the DHCP of the wing of the school in which the computer is located maintains the reservations for a day, but it won't always be on, and it will also be headless, so finding out the IP won't be so easy each time I turn it on. He also gave me a high address that he said, after looking over his logs, doesn't look like it's ever used that he said I could set as the static IP, so that's what I did. I think I'll look into the DHCP/DNS solution though, because that would also give me a better understanding of how it all works.

I don't know how I would setup the DNS in order to access it just by the host name. I'll look into it though, thanks.

I'll talk to the Network Admin, but my IT teacher told me that they freak out whenever a system they setup is even connected to the network. The Admin knows what the plans were for the machine, but I don't know what he'll say about a DHCP reservation. I'll talk to him though.

The computers at my school are completely locked down, with Deep Freeze and everything. I've been trying to get a programming/electronics/computers in general club. We've got it started, but with Deep Freeze, students can't save their work to the computer, we have to reinstall MinGW every time, and it's just a pain. My IT teacher allowed me to setup a Linux box where I can make each student their own login so we can just SSH into the server to do our programming lessons. This will also help them because none of them have ever used or even seen a real Linux machine. The thing is, I'm not sure how to go about setting up the networking because it has to be hooked up to the school network. Static IPs could mess up the school DHCP, couldn't it? Because the server might give out the same address, or the address might be already given out when the server is powered on. Is there a way I can have the server ping an address, if unsuccessful, set that IP as its own, and if successful, try another IP, etc? Thinking about it now, this would be possible with a bash script ran at startup, right? Is there a better or easier way of doing something like this? I'm also thinking a VPN might help, but I hardly know anything about VPNs and how they work.

http://www.bitlet.org/ http://torrelay.com/fresh/web.pl?d= <-- Size limit of 800 Mb/s (I think) There was another site like those, I forget the name though, which I actually used and it wasn't too bad. I'm sure a bit of googling and selecting the right words to search for could give you a few more similar sites. Also, when I got caught pirating by Cox, I simply went to downloading almost everything from free online storage sites (rapidshare, megaupload, but most preferably mediafire). The best thing to do for music is find a music "sharing" (read uploading/downloading/pirtating/stealing/whatever) blog that satisfies your taste in music. From that blog, you'll probably find more because they always have links to "friends." They're usually GREAT with requests too.

Yeah, and my Recycle Bin is getting full. Can you make a video on how to erase it?

All systems at my school, both Macs and PCs, are imaged from a "district wide image" I found out yesterday... Which means a district wide Admin passwords (There's like 3 different accounts with Admin privs on all the computers...). Who came up with this great idea, I don't know... But it makes a whole hell of a lot of sense to me! The LM hashes weren't disabled on this image either, which means Ophcrack totally owned them within a few minutes. bmdsherman, I noticed that you didn't mention HOW the restrictions were put in place. That would actually be the best place to start when trying to circumvent unnecessary restrictions. barry99705, I haven't done anything that has put any computer down for any time. School Admins already have enough computer illiterate people they need to take care of, why would I want to make their job worse? I mean, we're in the same boat, somewhat, when it comes to the fascination with computers, networks, etc. I strongly disagree with the severe restrictions they put on the computers though; we should be educating the users, not stopping them from exploring and learning. I know SOME restrictions are absolutely necessary, and I know that with less restrictions there would be more problems, but the kids need more of an understanding of computers in general. "This generation" is said to be soooo much better with computers... But what can they really do? Check their Myspace every 5 minutes? Tweet about checking their Mypace? Make a Ctrl-c Ctrl-v PowerPoint? Upload a video to YouTube? And what of it do they really even understand? Very little from what I've seen. School is a place for learning, and that should be true across the board.

+1 for a post on it

Well, I don't know about you Sparda... But I've always wanted to know how to kill people in RollerCoaster Tycoon.

ALT+F4 On another note, Nmap, & Metaploit/Milw0rm FTW...

Nice one strocknar, you've given me motivation to start trying to figure out what I need to do with BT4 again. I'm kind of hesitant though, seeing as BT4 Final will probably be out as soon as I figure out what needs to be changed :/

Nonono, DeepFreeze does NOT restore the hard drive to the original state (before installation and freezing), it simple discards all changes made upon the computer being rebooted, shutdown, or even just powerd off (physically). Therefore, saving a file to the hard drive while in another OS DOES work :) There are also ways to disable DeepFreeze, make your changes, and then re-enable it without anybody ever knowing (password stays the same :) ). Also, the "at" command is essentially useless in this situation because it requires Admin level privileges to even execute the command. And, in all reality, the school can get you for "hacking" just because you turned the damn thing on! It pisses me off how schools are completely oblivious to and not at all affected by the thing we call the Constitution here in the US... I mean, wtf happened to freedom of speech and innocent until proven guilty!? If I wasn't constantly looking over my shoulder, I probably would have been expelled by now, and for what? Running Linux? Knowing a bit more about computers than ALL of my teachers? And probably even more than the SysAdmin... They don't care if your work is done and you're just having a little fun... They're scared of any and all intelligence greater than theirs, and that's wrong. Last year the one of the CAMPUS-WIDE Admin passwords was spread, and it sure as hell wasn't due to me... I DON'T want people to know a lot of the things I know, because shit like that happens. Luckily they really didn't investigate it much, otherwise I probably would have been prime suspect since I'm (from what I've seen, know, or heard about) the most knowledgeable when it comes to computers. And they wouldn't need a lick of proof to get me expelled... Anyways, I feel you. IT Departments at schools have some of the dumbest, single-minded, people I've run across. They're not likely to change ANYTHING even a little bit. It's either "too much work," they have "too little time," or once you show that you know a little something about computers, you're on the watch list, if not being questioned that instant. Computers are so locked down that it's no wonder the average user isn't better off when given a keyboard and mouse, let alone a damn network! All I can really say, though, is, you've gotta be smarter than the game to play it. /etc/init.d/rant stop

I think the point in the CrossLoop link was this.

Next time, include the word "pinout" in your search and you might have better, agreeing results.

The disk emulation is lost when Windows setup tries to continue after loading drivers and such, resulting in the BSOD.

Hmm, try using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and see if it will allow you to make a DOS bootable drive and, if so, try booting it.

Are there any errors when you try to install GRUB4DOS? What exactly does it say when you try to boot? Are you running the GUI with Administrator privileges? Can you try to use a different computer to install it?

The thing is I don't have physical access to the router, I use my neighbor's (yes, legally). If I set the DHCP server on my laptop to give out 192.168.2.x/24 addresses along with the same config the router gives out through DHCP, would the devices be able to communicate with both my laptop and the router? I guess if I bridged them, the devices would just get IPs from the routers DHCP server right? But then, would anything streamed from my laptop to my Xbox have to go: laptop -> wireless -> router -> wireless -> laptop -> Xbox ?

I actually came to the conclusion that the EMI given off by a cable operating in full-duplex wouldn't be decipherable into actual traffic, would it? It would, essentially, just get all jumbled up into nonsense
