Why do want to have access to c:? If they are trying to block it with group policies what could possible be on there that you need to get to?

My cruise control works now, Thanks. :D

What did you try? Where did you take it? They said it was dust on the heads? I would recommend putting it in a zipped lock bag, MAKE SURE IT'S AIR TIGHT, then stick it in the freezer overnight and try to get the data off of it again. I have seen it work before but only for a very short period of time.

No, you extract to anywhere BUT your steam folder and then run it. It needs the version of steam.dll that comes with it to run correctly. BTW, It's not a simple MD5 hash, I wasn't very clear on exactly how it works in my first post b/c I have looked into it much. But it use the product id to encrypt the password in the blob file. I assume it uses MD5 for some of it from the libraries steam loads on start up.

What about Carbon Dioxide, it's pretty dangerous too?

In my post I just kept using "firewall" to represent whatever device or combination of devices that was doing the filtering. I also believe you're talking about a high school network, while the original post was a college student. BTW, I don't think they have detention in college. They could very well be using a traffic shaping technology like Packeteer, or a transparent proxy, or both.

TrueCrypt can do lots of neat things, like create a hidden encrypted volume inside another encrypted volume. Each with seperate keys and multiple encryption algoritms protecting the data inside each. Here's a tutorial I found on it: http://element14.wordpress.com/2006/10/15/...pt-for-windows/ Just don't forget the passwords to the volumes or your data is gone for good!

I don't think your question sounds all that nefarious, so I'll help you in your quest for knowledge. If you should use this to steal others accounts, I hope you get what's coming to you! Otherwise I hope I can help. Steam stores everything about the users that use a machine in a file called ClientRegistry.blob. This file is located at: C:Program FilesValveSteamClientRegistry.blob The password (when you hit "Remember my password") is stored in ClientRegistry.blob. The password is MD5 hashed by steam. But it is possible to find the saved password if you make a call to the steam.dll file to decrypt it, this works because of a serious implementation flaw by Valve. Luigi Auriemma has already written a hack to decrypt the stored password. Now a history lesson in stolen code. After he wrote this code, someone stole it and wrote a version that decrypted the password and then sent it to them so they could steal every steam account for everyone that used it. Luigi's version IS NOT A TROJAN, but antivirus software will flag it as such because it is a huge chuck of a trojan (again, they stole his code for part of it). You'll have to disable your antivirus for the program to be able to run if it flags it. This is the decrypter he wrote: http://aluigi.altervista.org/pwdrec/steampwd.zip This is his other hacks for decrypting passwords: http://aluigi.altervista.org/pwdrec.htm

The RJ45 connectors on cat 6 are different, the wires are seperated slightly different. Depending on what type of Cat 6 you buy it could have a flat plastic piece seperating the two pairs or it might not. The exterior shielding is thicker too. You can't really "upgrade" a Cat 5 to Cat 6, however you could use a Cat 5e in place of a Cat 6 without too many problems. Since Cat 5e is generally able to support up to 250MHz without to much attenuation to cause problems. Why do you want to upgrade one anyway? The cost between 5e and 6 are not the big. Wow, three post in 5 minutes, lol.

The link does work it's just very slow compared to viewing the page without the proxy. When you quoted it, it cut off the :8080 port number for some reason. To get around a university firewall, you could setup a m0n0wall router with PPTP VPN at your parents house, if they have an Internet connection. Then open up a tunnel from school to your house. Everything should be unblocked. As long as the don't try to stop you from opening a tunnel out, which they might. You could try to setup an VPN over http tunnel, a little more complex but it would pass through their proxies if all else fails. This is a lot of trouble to play some games, but if you have a lot of free time.
