Title: School pranks
Post by: Tribal on July 24, 2010, 03:22:52 pm
On our last day of school last year, me and a few of my classmates put the attached screensaver on every computer in our lab when the instructor left the classroom for a few minutes to take care of something, least to say it was pretty funny when he came back ;)

Have any of you pulled/seen any good pranks being pulled on your school/the teachers in it?

The worst things we did were:

1) Put a folder named "Top Secret" onto the Desktop, screenshot it, set the image as desktop, then delete the folder.  The result?  A top secret folder that cannot be accessed, deleted, or moved ;)

2) Use the Ctrl - Alt - Up trick to flip the screens upside down

I took over the school network, but the only thing I did was showing the IT guy the cracked passwords of 99% of all students/teachers. The remaining 1% was smart enough to choose passwords longer than 14 characters. (these aren't stored as LANMAN)

A few friends of mine once freaked out a teacher with your standard html 'virus'. It was funny, at least :P

Now that you mention computers and school pranks, I did something really funny like that in high school.  The computers there were really restricted in terms of what is blocked but there were a lot of ways around that stuff.  For instance, you could not access the C: drive and it was hidden from the list.  But if you right click on one of the shortcuts on the desktop and do "find target..." you're in the hard drive and you can browse around and move files like normal.  Another restricted thing was running .exe files.  But, if you copy the file to the desktop and rename it "notepad.exe" you can run it!

Those are just some fun hacks, but this is the prank I did:  I created an html file that used some hackish javascript to create 1000 copies of a file called "porn" on the desktop (which was an empty file).  I then deleted the Internet Explorer shortcut and renamed my file "Internet Explorer".  Since they share the same icon, you can't tell its been hacked.  One day we had a substitute teacher and so were were just going to watch a movie for the period and the sub was using the computer.  All period he was trying to delete these files.  Since 1000 icons can't fit on the desktop most are off screen and since the icons are permanently in auto-align, once you delete one screen size worth of porn files, more and more are shifted in so it takes forever to actually delete them all.  The next day, my generator file was still there and hadn't been deleted!

same with our computer:P if you rename anything keyb or mouse they will run...
its because they once accidentally blocked the drivers and they made keyb and mouse always be able to run :P

Not computer related: My psychology teacher this past year was at prank war with a freshman English teacher. About once a week for over a month we were instructed to:
* Cover her car with silly string/Post-It notes
* Go into the class to pick up markers or something, then shoot silly string everywhere
* Cover the door with that brown packaging paper so they couldn't leave the room without breaking through it
* Do the same with balloons
* And so on

In retaliation we would often come into class to find "GO {Rival of university my psych professor went to}" painted on the TV and walls, etc.


Edit: As far as computer stuff, we would use shutdown -i to remotely turn off other students' computers. I also added a registry key to my computer so it would BSOD on a certain key combination. Much confusion was had.

Once my history teacher asked me to do some file organizing on his account, so I had fun looking at his files ;)

Also, this same teacher told the class the username and password to the administrator account ;)

our school used to have a senior prank every year. some of the were:
-covering the gym floor with plastic cups full of water, with all the school trophies stacked on top of tables stacked on top of chairs stacked on more tables in the middle of the gym
-taking all textbooks out of lockers and mixing them up
-filling the headmaster's office with balloons and covering the walls with sticky notes
-driving a CAR into the gym! (last year for pranks)

(i go to a small private school, so we can get away with a lot)

my school has had many similar prank wars
our humane letters(combo writing, debate, and history class[i know, right]) teacher had us spend one entire class period using surplus promotional magnets the school had bought(they cant afford to make the roof not leak and the floor not be made of mold but are fine with promoting themselves :P) to entirely cover his rival's car, filing cabinet, part of the fridge(yes, the teachers have their own house with a swimming pool, shower, fridge, and garden and we all have to cram into the tiniest rooms ever. it's a bit messed up), and all her other belongings.

as their prank this year our seniors built a 20 foot tall robot out of cardboard boxes overnight to welcome everyone to finals week.

i've also done the screenshot thing to create duplicate icons and messed around with screensavers a bit.

Edit: on a vaguely related note, the lavatories at our school exploded once so the teachers had to walk anybody who asked to the facilities at a school down the street. needless to say, quite a bit of test skipping occurred that day

double Edit: the teachers could have just let everyone use their personal bathroom, but i guess they would rather walk than have their property soiled in such a disgusting manner :P

Well, I once looked through every student in our school's accounts.  (Well, I could've, but I didn't have the time.)  I just went to network, went into their folders and use Command prompt to find the admin pass and made a .txt file named hi.txt.  (Only for the ones I had time)  :P

At one time a few years ago, between a transfer between the old tech admin and the new one, there was a security flaw that was left open which allowed any student to see any other student's personal files as long as they were on the network.  It wasn't modifiable, though.

LanSchool is a program teachers can use to monitor your computer remotely, as well as shut it down or blank the screen. In older versions of the software, the packets it uses are not encrypted, so it was possible to use this program called LanSchooled to do the same stuff the teacher's computer does. Once I used it to blank all the screens in the computer lab.  :P  Unfortunately, newer versions of LanSchool are not compatible. (v7.0 or greater)

heh.. I used to trick other people all the time and annoy people then my teacher got on me.. I used to press the windows key with 'e' rapidly at the same time, then turned the screen upside down while turning on sticky keys and putting it into high contrast mode LOL. Yeah... teacher wasn't happy lol. I also herd that there was this kid that was able to lock the teachers computer with the same software that locks ours XD

Throw some laxatives, opiates and lots of Olestra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olestra#Side_Effects) into a batch of hash brownies.

Sure, they'll literally crap themselves before they can get anywhere within the vicinity of a toilet, but they'll do it with a smile on their faces. :D

Lol, this reminds me that Major Paine movie :P

At school the only thing people did was opening command prompt on computers and writing stuff saying the computer got a virus and everything was deleted and people believed them, even teachers. :P

Besides that, some people put stuff in classroom keyholes so the teacher was not able to unlock the classroom. The later is bad x.x
Title: Re: School pranks

An even better one to top the Top Secret Folder trick.

Make a screenshot of the desktop, make it the desktop background, then uncheck "Show Desktop Icons"
Every single icon looks like its there, but you can't do anything to them.

At school, the login system is not handled by Windows, but by Novell, so all the Windows logins were the same, allowing us to remotely start tasks on all the computers of the school. As computer science students, we wrote an application in C# that Console.Beep()'d the Mario theme song and started it on all the computers of the classroom at once. That was not perfect though, since the .bat file started one task only 2-3 seconds after the other... It's also fun to target only one computer and remotely start Firefox with a rickroll page for the target, while he's working (you know, the ones who are difficult to escape from? xD).

First time: "Woah who did that?"
All the other times: "Stop doing that, Julien -_-"

Hours and hours of endless fun.

A kid (later expelled, as our "man" is afraid of tech,) put age of empires 1 on every single computer at our school.  needless to say, with our low memory computers, we completely ran out of memory.  Everything was so slow that it took 5 days to get rid of them all. :D   (i probably;y could have done it in an hour)


Another thing. our command prompt has two protections.  one to all files, and this one,
(http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Block-Access-to-Command-Prompt-2.png)

We can't rightclick nor change the background on our computers, so I did this:
Printscreen the desktop, make a PowerPoint with 100 slides (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+P ftw) with all that picture in it.
Teacher kept on clicking :)

Ive done the screenshot/set as desktop/hide icons one. Also ive edited the settings to different printers by putting the local ip of the printer into firefox. My school had a few macs, and in mac OS X if you hold control+alt+apple+8 it inverts the colors. @eriktheorange: what did you do to the registry to make that happen? i want to try

Lol don't worry, I don't think much people here really spend their entire time doing that, though. Else it would be blatant troublemaking/bullying/vandalism and I don't think people here advocates such behavior :P. Usually if those pranks are done, it will just be for fun or if someone really caused trouble to them.

My school's robotics shop computers were all infected with viruses because some idiot brought in an infected flash drive.
So what I did was open up Security Center, use Paint to modify the antivirus part of it so that it said "This computer has been infected with (some number of) viruses!", and screenshot/desktop background.
Someone else happened to do the background thing on another computer, except he also renamed all the icons to inappropriate things (Turbo C++ became Turbo Vibrator, for example)

Same, I personally wouldn't do this XD. Well... except maybe if a computer crashed and was stalled on DOS and I typed Virus detected or that stuff, but that's about it. I would not want to get caught and my parents to know, not to mention at school you could get banned from computer usage here if you did bad stuff, anyway, and I loved computer stuff so much that I would never have wanted that to happen (especially that I did not have a computer at home back then). Also I preferred doing more productive stuff with my time.

I did one but not to a teacher.  I saw someone's iPhone lying around in the Comp Lab, so I took a picture of a sheet of paper with "FAIL" written on it, and then took a pic of the lockscreen, and set that one before the Fail one.  the guy comes back, slides to unlock, then, FAIL!  :P

Best prank at my school that I've heard of (I have not taken part of any...yet) was that somehow, someone managed to get a garbage can on top of the flag pole, I'm talking about those huge ones, not a classroom one.

An even better way would be:

:While Str1!="pi
:Input "",Str1
:Disp expr(Str1
:End

That way they can enter text as well as numbers, and it comes out just like on the homescreen.

If someone at school got a way to enable lowercases on his calculator and has some games and programs, edit the code by changing, one or two instructions tokens to individual letters. Example: Change While to W h i l e

If he's not very experienced with programming, he might have to spend some time debugging ;D

I did that once...I sent a game around the school. It kept track of the number of times it was run, then on the 20th time turned off the ON key and displayed "FALCON PUNCH." I also wrote a program that created convincing fake errors--but for the fact that they were things like "ERR: DIVIDE BY 2."

Anyone still have that ASM code? I lost track of it.

That's what the expr( is for. If they enter an equation, it solves it and Disp's the answer as it would a number on the homescreen. If they input a string, it Disp's the string as it would on the homescreen.

Hold down num lock for 15 sec.  Causes loud beeping every time a lock is pressed.
Hold right shift for 15 sec - freezes keyboard completely.

I don't know if it's a valid prank, but we installed Linux on school computers. Did that 2 times, once a few years ago, for fun, and once a week ago, to replace a broken computer with an ill-functioning Windows.

I wish teachers would see this as a benefit than a prank/bad trick D:

That said, they would have to teach twice as much stuff, though (how to use Windows and how to use Linux) :P

Idk if something like this has been said already but here's a senior prank me and my friends cooked up.

Ok, so at my school the boot menu isn't blocked or anything. So we are able to boot into Linux where we have root privileges.

Our plan was to lock the computer, play an annoying song at full volume with a image of the windows blue screen. (For a guy that everyone REALLY hates it puts up pictures of men and stuff then blocks him permanently from the network. The entire thing is a logic bomb and the file responsible replaces explorer.exe. explorer.exe (original) is put into the alternate using ADS (Alternate Data Streaming) and another script replaces svchost.exe what that does is if the explorer.exe process is stopped it restarts it.

The file is replaced every time we boot into Linux under the username "Garron" (The person we hate).  Also, our clock is off by say 2 hours 23 minutes and we have the files automatically installed via a bash file. Also at our school, there's a security hole only me and my friends know of that has over 100 GB of free, writable space. The program looks in that shared folder for a certain file so we can manually set it off. Also, we can see what the username is so we can block garron from ever logging on. The entire thing save for the bash file is written in AutoIt.

If we actually had the guts to do this we could actually pull it off.

Its combination locks that are school issued and put onto the lockers.  I imagine they used the master key (and/or made copies) and went around with a large bucket collecting them all, and then after just randomly snapping them all back onto the lockers.

Anyway, back to the pranks, here's one that a lot of people have probably done: leaving the computer logged off with the student account's username and password typed in but with an extra space after the username.

(http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Block-Access-to-Command-Prompt-2.png)

so i just Googled, how to block command prompt, 1st page, showed how to block and unblock :P
I was able to find a simple way to bypass this.  I had needed to use rom8x.

Ok, so the new school year starts and my friend wants to load his home minecraft save into the school computer.  Well they changed the security.  There are no longer any restrictions, except there no longer is a way to use windows explorer to navigate into the C: drive.
I open a new text document and write ...
"start cmd"

I saved the file as cmd.bat, and i ran it.
Instead of opening command prompt like i thought it would, it repeatedly opened cmd.bat over and over again >:D

Post by: thepenguin77 on August 26, 2011, 03:32:47 pm
Well if we're going to talk about key sequences, a favorite at my school is: click on desktop, Ctrl+A, Enter, Enter

Here's what happens. Clicking on the desktop gives it focus. Ctrl+A highlights all of the icons, and on school computers, there are a lot of icons. The first enter attempts to open all of the icons, but windows is smarter than that and gives you a warning that you are about to open 30 icons. The second Enter says go for it.

The end result is that the computer will spend at least 10 minutes trying to open all of the programs. Honestly, the best course of action is to turn it off. That, or have fun trying to close the windows as fast as possible :P

As limited users, we can't do much at my school, so I used powershell to upgrade myself to an admin. :)
 :w00t:
How did you do that?
and another one:
if the target machine is running windows:
http://blogs.linux.ie/fuzzbucket/2008/02/23/cygwin/ on a usb drive is the ticket into being able to irc chat or whatev you want.
Like i did that + ssh <username>@<myip> + screen + irssi and i could chat in windows with no restrictions, cept the size of the terminal. Before you try tho, make sure you have openssh-server installed on your machine if its using ubuntu linux.
on mac, i guess you just do everything above 'cept everything about cygwin. "Go-Utilities-Terminal" will get you to bash.

Not really a prank, but it could be useful  >:D

and this is gonna be a huge post, sry
LanSchool is a program teachers can use to monitor your computer remotely, as well as shut it down or blank the screen. In older versions of the software, the packets it uses are not encrypted, so it was possible to use this program called LanSchooled to do the same stuff the teacher's computer does. Once I used it to blank all the screens in the computer lab.  :P  Unfortunately, newer versions of LanSchool are not compatible. (v7.0 or greater)

to add on to that, I got a util called procexp.exe. If the taskman is locked then this *might* give you access to it, otherwise, you can use this as a taskman. Shutdown the process that runs that allows the teacher to access your computer, then you can do *anything.

(*: no, not anything on the net, that is still logged, i meant like play a game or somethin)

But the best thing is to install linux over the main partition and make it look like windows.

I think he means screenshotting the desktop with all the icons, then hiding the icons and setting the screenshot as the desktop background, so you can't click on any of the desktop icons or anything ;)

Um, you can't.  Unless if the school practically made it so easy to do that they made a whole script to do it.  In which case I would love to hear about how you did it and how poorly setup this organization is/was.

It was really easy, but only temporary... :( Just search it online though. It's not worth it to take the time to set it up though...

I remember changing the desktop background to a "shattered glass over XP bliss wallpaper once"
