My school network is very well done. Cisco Aironet 1100 in every class room, all buildings on campus blanketed by WiFi, complete Fiber backbone, ETC. And you know you will have security issues when you give each student a laptop.
Now I know the common rhetoric is "Physical Access means owned." But my tech team has it set so that the hard drive is first boot priority, and the BIOS is password locked. What would you do to circumvent this?
(I know this sounds like a 1337 h4xx0r the sk00l!!11!) kind of deal... But all the escalation hacks I've seen require either bootable CD or bootable floppy, neither of which are available. These guys know their stuff, too: all the defualts are changed, most of the common things (Mail server telnet etc.) have been disabled. How do you get admin privs on a locked down non-bootable system? (Without removing the hard drive or something else ridiculus like that).
