They dont get money for filtering it, they are protecting their asses by doing it. If a parent decides to sue a school becasue their child looked at porn there, they would win. This is why filters are used. Its just to protect them from lawsuits.

Hmmm, actually I thought they got some E-rate funding or something to help pay for internet and computers, but maybe I am wrong.

Actually only some school districts can get government funding for technology. Most, have to supply most of it on their own from towns taxes.

i had a nice system hardware lockout's that you cannot change anything proxy's and software firewalls and content protection systems download restritions checkpoint firewalls you think of it we had it and i got arround it! using these steps!

1.Got a CGI proxy that was using SSL which the content filter didn't see as well as the download filter!
2.Downloaded portable firefox now i had the web unlocked for me!
3.i was a restriced user and there were no cd drives and floppy's were locked!
4.i broke the SAM for the ADMIN by grabbing it and the syskey in the repair DIR!
5. It took a while even with ranbow tables but i cracked it!
that was level one
Now i hacked into the webserver's password! and from there it's another very long story but in short i got the sql records for all the accounts.......... and found the admin...... and broke free!

Oh, as for students like us. Who are not so well versed with technologies. We usually get the IP address of the website and paste it into the browser to surf. It works almost all the time.

Web URLs and their names don't change. IP might change although rare. So proxies block the names rather than their IPs!

right, but aren't the hyperlinks jacked? Like if the link references the same domain, but a different page?

I think they are sometimes, but it depends on the filters.

Yea I tried to change the proxy by going into lan setting and putting in a proxy, but it didn't work. Our Computer Specialist is really cool and he teaches us a lot about computers and he told me that our school(s) in our city disable the changing of the proxy. But he said I could use one in there. He mentioned something about the web interface I need to ask him more, but does anyone know how i could do this? He said that there we are bunch of them. He wants to see if I can figure it out.

They did that at our college. As they only block the proxy changing on IE, we downloaded portable firefox ( download here ), and could then change the proxy settings through that. (And browsing with firefox is so much nicer ;) ) This an be run from your user space, or from a USB drive.

Remember - The simplist method is often the easiest.

hehe just remember to be careful in what you do. We had someone who very luckily escaped a jail sentence from our college due to hacking past the network ;)

Ya but that is college. I am only in Middle School. I don't think I could get into that much trouble and plus I am not an adult yet. We aren't really doing anything that illegal. Just trying to look at wikipedia because the homepage is blocked.

Its still against the computer misuse act, and could also breach on the data protection act as well which makes it illegal.

And also, even if your not an adult yet, anything you do at your age could stop you getting a job when your older, among many other things.

But hey, im not here to judge.. just to point out the facts. :)

Well actually they erase your record as a juvenile and it doesn't show up as an adult, so no it wouldn't prevent me from getting a job. But you must be careful when you are doing it.

I cant believe no one has said to connect to a remote linux box through xserver and view websites from there.

xserver ports are blocked you say? change the config on your linux server to run xserver on port 80 :-).

Even the admins asked me how i did this, so they could check on their email from home.

EVEN BETTER: turn ssh tunneling on your xserver and now not only have you got out of the proxy problem, but they cant read ANY of the tcp/ip or udp traffic you send to that server because its all encrypted.

Well I'm sure ya all kno how to bypass the Google Images filter and such without using a proxy. 1) Google.de 2) Now, go to advanced settings, and set the main language back to english 3) search pictures away :) Then again, our WebSense filter's pretty lax anyways...



what we did for google images was simple, search for lets say jennifer aniston, wait for the results, then click images, that got us passed ranger from sentinel software. :cheesy:

I go to a public school and i don't think this quote works well.
It seems that our computer technicians already bypassed that fact. tried to do something similar to that but however, it was a waste of time. Our computer technician seems to be a very smart guy. I think he even has a log that keeps tracks of what each user does. But i don't know for sure. the guys is quite the smart one to figure out this stuff as well.

Also another thing to add, he has blocked "non-administrator" users from accessing C: and many menus from the computer. Therefore reg edit is out of the question. Can't change the internet options and can't access command prompt to ping my way in.

Also another thing to add, can't download files from school, it is also blocked. This computer technician is very smart in regards to computer security
