The comments in this thread make me laugh.

Once one of my friends decided to play a prank on one of the techs, so they selected all icons on the desktop and deleted it, then took a screenshot of a game, removed the bottom bar from the pic and set it as desktop background. He got all pissed off that someone was playing a game yet all it was was a desktop image

hehe

Once we also set up a program that, when we click enter, it spams every email in the school. Once their inboxes get full, they can't recieve any more emails (when someone email box is full, any more emails that come are automatically removed from the system)

seriouslly these guys who work as techs for schools (unless maybe if it is a university) are just losers.

There are loads more things you can do if you actually know how to use computers then sit around trying to block sites and clean up school computers.

The people that do it are just very basic tech people. They most likely read a few manuals and Networking Computers for Dummys and got the job because no self respecting tech would touch it.

I have NEVER met one who knows exactly whats up and frankly most of them seem to not even be able to do the basic part of their job.

Even colleges have losers for techs. My GF goes to a community college where their tech couldn't figure out which class was downloading mp3s so he gave up and blocked all the computers in that classroom. Seriously, he didn't know how to read a log?

I really did wish that school computer managers weren't morons...

In the TDSB, all computers have the same interface, and the interface refreshes every login. I once accidentally installed Firefox onto C: and couldn't remove it because I couldn't find the directory.

I really don't like how shallow the protection is. It would seem that a 20%-experienced hacker could get through it.

At my university we have some experts running our system, I think there was one time when we discovered net send wasn't disabled and it was abused for about a few days then I think someone reported it. Now it doesn't work at all. There was also a flaw with their login system where they would log off their computer and the next user who logged in could just open up the browser and their account was still logged in so they could use that persons internet until that session ran out. I think they fixed that as well.

At high school level don't expect your schools system to be secure. Its a different thing at universities where you have so many smart people working there who are responsible for securing the network. They run windows xp and a combination of novell networks or something. I would of thought the combination of a windows server and client would be enough. I don't know why but yeah I'm no expert in that field. The facility they offer is pretty amazing I can access my files from anywhere with an internet connection and a browser and its SSL encryption too.
