I'm sitting here really bored at work, I work for my school part time being a computer lab tech, and I'm at an off campus site tonight at a local high school here, and omg this is crazy.

I've seen so far tonight, and I may find more if I keep looking:

1 monitor that's nearly dead because someone poured something into the air holes on it.

3 keyboards that have paperclips wedged underneath the keys so you can't push some of the keys down, which took forever to get out.

1 PC with the Dell emblem thingy ripped off the front of it, cracking the front panel of the case really badly.

Anybody else seen anything this bad at work? If I come back here again next Monday and there are anymore paperclips in the keyboards I think I'm gonna scream :ph34r: :ph34r:

Oh, and let's not forget how crazy the admin that runs the computers at this site is. The machine I'm sitting on, it isn't this way on all the other machines thankfully, has 3 accounts with Admin privs and there isn't a password set on any of them except Administrator. Crazy I tell you, crazy.

And the sam-file is still there ever since installation, to read and retrieve for anybody letting them crack it with another machine, possibly in minutes as the pwd is short and easy... ?

lol Sep.

figure this one: the business department that only uses the computers for word processing and stuff has 1+GHz systems and the multimedia design department only has 333MHz systems.

lol adams, that's pretty bad

yep .unicorn, you could get to the sam file pretty easy, i didn't check the backed up copy on any of the ones i was on but to get it on any of them all someone would have to do is boot off a floppy into ntfsdos or linux with ntfs read support and copy the sam file somewhere else, since windows keeps it in use constantly, and then crack the pass hashes

almost all of the machines in the labs at my school are 1.8 to 2.4 ghz P4's with about 512 megs of ram each, except for one lab which is a bunch of 800mhz G4 macs, and the library, which are all about 500 - 600 celerons, except for two, i dunno what kind of chip they have in them, never have looked, but they are running IE2 :blink: :blink: :unsure: , one day last week someone called me over there asking why the school's website looked all messed up, and i looked at ie's about box and saw it was version 2 and about fell down laughing lol

oh, and for the sam file, even though you could get to it and copy it off somewhere, it's not really too big of a threat to them, because i'm nearly the only student up there that knows enough about PC's to be able to do it and crack the hashes, even though i don't have to b/c i've got admin to the domain already :D lol
