__WAM mac systems at Univerisity of Maryland, Collage Park (A quick hack)
____Provided by the flatlinder

Ok here we go. ;) If you happen to be outside or have mabbe even suffered through the fukin "flagship university" of MD- try this hax, grab a few pwds and go for a spin.

__BAckground to the hack

Took me maybe an half hour at most to figure this out. The new G3 stations set up in a few of the labs (good example where to try this: worcester) have this shitty prog called Assimliator 2.01. Whoa, back up a min- they all have what looks to be 2 hard drives (one locked- "Boot" and one unlocked- "G3 Return to Menu") and a "Fileserver" (an appleshare disk w all the major programs u run) Boot is just a small-ass drive w/ the basic os 8.1 on it. G3 Return is the main drive that has like 4 gigs so that ppl can put crap on the computer they want- apps, extensions, prefs or other assorted shit- but only as temps.

That's cuz every time the computer restarts, the Boot drive loads, runs Assimliator, reboots, and then reloads the G3 Return to Menu drive. Soooo... you say? Well, you normally can't do jack bc anything you install on the G3 drive gets trashed by Assimliator. That's right- the bitch program trashes all the shit you did, dl's some default crap off the server- basically fucking you over. (damn i don't know how many times i dl'ed the full quake to play in on these kickass machines, only later to find this fukin program trashed everything. I could take it out of the trash- but then some damn admin would eventually empty it, and i'd have to start the fuck over :\ ) I guess you could still run a virus on these crappers and it would actually work- thought i might even do that to vent some steam. But in general that's pretty lame. I really wanted a way to install a key knabbing extension (hehehe)

__FUcking over WAM (the hack)

Ok this is the good part. You only need to do two things to have the computer restart without the assimliator bullshit.

1) Go into the Boot drive, System Folder, Control Panels. Change the Startup Disk to G3 Return to Menu (duh- we don't want the damn Boot drive to load) In case u were wondering, the actual assimilator program is on this drive's Startup Items- in worcestor it was renamed "Wor". (look at it's info if u don't believe me ;P )

2) Go into your existing System Folder (the G3 drive) and then Extensions. Drag the extension "settoboot-g3" into Exten Disabled or the trash. That's how those bastards were getting the thing to revert back to the Boot drive- hehehe ;) If you're lazy just use extensions manager.

That's it! u don't even have to hold down shift or anything to kill assim. Also, anything you now do to this computer will be saved (just don't be a dumbass and put all kinds of crap on the desktop so that admins will figure u out.) Basically if you hide it well you now have a free computer u can use for whatever u want. Some good shit to try: keystroke recorders (make sure that u make them visable- os 8.1 won't boot an invisable extension) Hell i got 3 pwds on the first day- stupid ppl are almost always checking their email on these things, plus u can grab their aol im accounts or even their logins to hotmail/yahoo/terp online or whatever uknowwhutimsayin?? ;) After u get their wam accounts u can just read their email or you might change around folders, hack their web page, put up a virus they unknowing download, change their pass and lock them out completely to have a free email/web page or whatever the hell you want. ain't kinda nice to know that if you are using someone else's account and you pull some shit that they will take the blame? ;D

__EOF

Well that's about it. Just know that I take no responsiblity for what u get yer dumbass into with this. I think it's just cool to be able to check out other ppl's email, plz just don't crap on some poor retard unless they were an asshole/did some shit to you and they really deserve it, ok? let's all be nice and not get ourselves busted.
