Novell on School Computers

[Arbit3r]

All the computers at my school have Novell installed on them. If I wanted to login to the system as an administrator, what should I do? Windows XP seems to be running behind everything, but you don't need to login to XP, just Novell (I'm not familiar with this software at all. But it seems to come from somewhere on the network).

Anything else I can do with this?

Study and do your homework so you don't have to change your grades. No free rides in life.

Novell is a company that makes software. I'd need to know more about the specific software before suggesting anything.

[Mabello]

The software he's probably referring to is Novell GroupWise, they have it in my school system for both email and logging into the computer.

They aint anything wrong with trying though is there.

Depends how philosophical and moral you want to get.

If you are good enough at computing to change your grades electronically then you shouldnt be needing to change your grades.

haha lol.

You could use a hardware keylogger to get the administrator password, or think of a method to procure the information another way (i.e; call up the school and ask for the IT Dept, say you are this n that teacher/employee, might have some luck getting the password....of course this probably wont work, you need to gather information first also) I dunno, get creative man! Find exploits for the software online, then try to exploit them lol

Well, I can help you with a lot of it.

The first thing you're going to do is go to start then hit run.

Type in cmd, press enter.

Once at command prompt you're going to type in net user admin admin /add this will make a user named admin with the password of admin.

Once you have created your user you're going to type in net localgroup and find the group that looks like it would be administrative (probably is just called "administrators").

Once you've done this you're going to hit net localgroup [groupname] [username] /addand example of this would be net localgroup Administrators admin /add this will add a user named admin (created in the previous step) to group Administrators (the group is CASE SENSITIVE).

Now, on the novell login screen check "login as workstation" or some such box, and login with your username, congratz you have admin.

Now run a keylogger or something..steal the password for the grade program, done.

If command prompt is disabled:
go to start>search and search for .bat, find a bat file, copy it to the desktop, right click on it and hit edit.

Type in what commands you want it to run, double click the bat file to run them.

The password is PENCIL. It's written on a piece of paper inside a drawer next to the principal's office.

All very well but most programmes like Novell ban .bat files from use without admins consent, and command prompt is never allowed. Also the network admins will be able to see where/what and who created the admin account.

Just some helpful advice...

[death11284]

That's why you delete it when you're done : ). I've been to about 12 different schools in 4 years, not one of them has banned .bat files, only 2 banned command prompt.

Once the keylogger is in place you delete the account..it's not hard..and if you think they can track the admin account well..you're wrong. They can't trace it because it's not on the network it's on the computer itself, notice how it's the localgroup command? yeah..

I don't know if you've ever tried installing novell security to play with it, but trust me, it's not that great.

[Th0r]

Im used to Impero.
Which, I can assure you is better than Novell.
You cant make an Administrator account without the admins approval, there is also a list of banned extensions and .bat is one of them, I believe.
