Was my post above useful or useless?

Why don't you create a user with the shell "/bin/false" (no shell access) and give it practically no read/write permissions? Then you could create a key pair and give that to your friends, which enables login without knowing the password.

If you can't get by the firewall from the outside, you have to go from the inside :) (read: outbound reverse ssh tunnel)

I thought PuTTy isn't capable of transferring files. I would have proposed WinSCP running with wine or the command "scp".

Wtf, it's still october...

Let's see if a german driver can pull this off in England. And it's no Audi TT. It seems to be an A4 or A6.

Hard-tail bike. No CO2 emissions, no fuel necessary, average speed 30 km/h, downhill of course a lot more :)

Take this brute forcer: -icX>YAhg$'rW*\hS1L*32^-%4S[9V:=

It's not free as in freedom → Mediocre unfree fps

But the underlying technology is openSSL, just remind the latest ssl vulnerability which concerned ssl certificates and ssh keys.

Ehm, how is the traffic encrypted if not with SSL? ROT26?

Why do you need those informations?

Moonlit, I don't think that tunneling a firewall to access restricted contents is considered as "hacking" a school. Once our class had to research some informations, namely caricatures about some political leaders. Someone found a really nice site, which was classified as pornography, of course it was ridicolous, there was none. I accessed this site over my server and got the informations. As long as it stays in that frame, which means no remote tunneling I think it's not "hacking" a school.

As far as I understand, the domaion x.org whether was registered before the new regulations were in power or it was manually assigned by the ICANN. Single character domains have to be manually assigned and are not freely available.

If you want to be anonymous and don't want to worry about contents, think about setting up I2P on a server which points to your apache/lighttpd setup. It will get slow, but then it's anonymous.

I, as always, propose a SSH tunnel from your school computer to an external/home server. By that, the connection is encrypted and it can't be filtered.

What's the error?

I guess you want to write on a ntfs file system, which is usually not writeable by default by a linux system.

I think you didn't have write permissions.

VNC for this problem is bloatware :) You don't need to display your whole desktop, you just have to tunnel the requests you're making. And yes, with SSH you can tunnel nearly everything. I for example tunnel http, smtp, pop3, ssl, jabber.

Instead of a vpn you can create a ssh tunnel, which does basically the same thing: Encrypting your traffic.

I guess I'm wrong if I say Ctrl+C Ctrl+V ?

I didn't want to post ... but please: stfu

Would you classify for example access codes for school computers as information or personal data?

That's correct. Someone was caught by the german police because he used this filter to blur his face :)
