They try everything. If LightSpeed filtering (our replacement for websense) doesn't catch it, we have Impero which we can view their screens with and take remote control with, it also logs all the sites they've visited, documents they've printed, windows opened etc. Its locked down like hell.

Still connected to our servers to get out onto the net, so yes, it still works. They'd have to authenticate in their browser with their username and password to give them the correct level of access. Access Groups are based on AD, actual configuring is done in LightSpeed.

My point was you could evade the screen monitoring software by bringing your own laptop. If there's wireless, you wouldn't even need to unplug the desktop's ethernet cord, obviously.

Then just tunnel everything over ssh and bob's your uncle.

>>24715997
Any 443 HTTPS traffic that is not validated by LightSpeed signatures is blocked.

Port 80 traffic is rerouted through to 8080 no matter what type, so yes, they get caught.

>>24714661
Sounds like the better posters on this board. Sure, they may be autistic, but it sure beats "Windoze vs Mac" and battlestation threads all day.

>>24715851
fucking hilarious. comedy gold. seriously, people aren't replying but these posts always get me.

People presenting videos on class do stuff like double click and it opens in iTunes instead of right clicking and selecting quicktime. They don't full screen things. When they do a dvd they open the dvd folders and wonder why it's not playing. I just sit there and don't saw anything while laughing on the inside.

Chrome more intensive than firefox.

>Decide I'll just use the track pad, no problem. Thing is its disabled because idiots would keep hitting it when using keyboard. So I used the keyboard to get into control panel and re-enable the touchpad.
>Give it back to her to use, she tries to check her email but can't even open, AOL, which they still use because they can't into firefox. First things first, the touchpad isn't set to click on touch so it isn't doing anything, tell her she can use the buttons. Bitches "It just doesnt work, make it work."
>So I enable the touch on click. She then proceeds to single click AoL icon and bitch it doesn't open. Tell her to double click. SHe double clicks slow as a snail so nothing works. I open it for her.

>She gets in, and is on the browser, but apparently thinks she isn't logged in so goes to the top to log into her account, and... keeps double clicking. Causing the sign in box to pop up then get covered over when the finance tab she is clicking pops up.... About 20 times.
>She bitches again, so I go to fix it, but AOL is now frozen from finance tabs. Task manager that shit to death and reopen AOL and go to the sign on screen where her auto password was... incorrect... and tell her to enter the password.
>She gets in and then goes to email. Right away starts bitching that pressing delete button doesn't delete the spam mails. I try clicking the mail then pressing delete, it deletes...
>She keeps bitching about how its not working and keeps complaing to my grandpa to come try using it. He asks her to do what, she says send yourself an email from my account!
>Entire time we've both been saying its probably the trackpads fault and my grandpa says he is terrible and using them and hates it, just find a mouse. None the less he goes over and, get this, sends himself an email using the trackpad no problem.

My sister has cerebral palsey. This doesn't make me an expert on it but from knowing her I can tell that she has the brain capacity of an 8th grader. She can pretty much function in dailt life, but it most certainly effects her brain.

>>24716267
Again, retardation CAN happen with cerebral palsy but doesn't have to. Many people with the disease can function entirely normally apart from the movement disorder. I'm not saying you're wrong, but saying someone has cerebral palsy doesn't necessarily imply that they have cognitive problems.

your fault for not saying Adobe Flash and show something playing in flash player

Fair enough. Like I said, I don't know much about it. I just know that she has it and is the dumbest person I know.

>cerebral palsy
I don't think that's the real problem here. If he's a douchebag he's a douchebag, but cerebral palsy isn't directly responsible for his personality or lack of knowledge.

you sound like a prick whos abusing what little power he has as a net admin over some children.

>>24716614
Yep, we cannot stop them, but if they are caught e.g. a teacher or head of house sees them doing so, they are disciplined in accordance with the AUP (Circumvention of IT systems). Also, UK 3G speeds are shitty, most of the time you get 2G in the college, and signal is weak in the buildings, so they prefer to use our 32Mbps Fiber connection.

>>24716668
Is there really a point to locking things down this much? I've never been to a school that actively blocks anything other than porn.

>>24716668

you've got to me shitting me

>>24716596
Personality-wise, you may not have changed, but surely you were able to gain knowledge throughout highschool and college. She on the other hand, will never be able to learn anything more difficult than simple math, and even has problems with that. I'm going to go back to lurking now as none of this has anything to do with technology.

>>24716682
My school blocks games, social networking, porn, anything that could be considered fun. They also block access to the C drive, the Windows + R run shortcut, and CMD. Shit sucks.

>>24716668
>>24716682
Also, in college? Seriously?
>>24716690
You're right, I guess.

>>24716660
Age range is 3 - 18 for pupils, so not all children.
Staff are filtered too, so we'll say 18 - 80 as well.

I mean, come on, during their personal time (not lessons), the filter rules change and they can get on FB and YT, and they can play online games like TF2 and SWTOR etc. They have a lot of freedom compared to other schools.

>mfw if it wasn't for lightspeed, Android, Kindle etc. wouldn't get net access.

Seems to me like we have lots of power.
Fuck your bullshit.

>Circumvention of IT systems

how is it circumvention if one is not even using the system? that's like saying I'm circumventing Spore's DRM even though I'm not playing the game

>>24716701
This is a high school, right? This shouldn't be a thing in college, especially if you're using your own computer.

Goddamnit why do people shout to their kids over a printing glitch that even a 2 year old can solve?

At this point I lost track of what was happening since I was banging my skull into the side of a marble counter.

I was incredibly lucky at my high school. They had a few restrictions, but nothing that crazy.

>>24716724
Because you are bound by College rules.
We've had to ban some users who were using their Android device as a portable hotspot to provide unfiltered access for their friends. The College has a duty of care to safeguard and monitor internet access. That access cannot be monitored. Hence, circumvention.

My school implemented a shard drive for the whole school. Anyone could access it and write stuff to it.

Needless to say, everyone was playing halo all the time. That was always full of video games.

>>24716682
Blocked Catergories: Porn, Adult, Drugs, Weapons, Warez, Hacking, Proxy Avoidance, Tor, SSH, VPN, Torrents, File-Sharing (Mediafire, Dropbox, Rapidshare) P2P, probably some i missed but those are main ones.

Social Networking and Video sites are blocked during lessons time, but allowed during personal time and at night for boarders.

>>24716797

>>24716831
Calling crazy religious school.

>>24716828
We had this too.
>>24716831
That's overdoing it. I went to a fucking Catholic school and they only blocked porn.

>>24716701
Same here. Ours went as afar as blocking Google Images for the longest time, and it blocked useful things like SkyDrive, and even went as far as blocking the Wikipedia article on the United States. yet things like Bad Dragon were not. Also the IT people were stupid niggers who couldn't get a working AV on their machines.

>>24716833
Some may look at it as censorship, and trust me, if I was in my boss' position, I'd be a lot more lenient, but I have to do as I'm told by my Boss and Senior Management. They see it as child protection and protection of their IT systems.

>>24716863
Is it a crazy fucking religious or tight ass boarding school isn't it?

>>24716845
It does start with St. (Saint).
I ain't no Christian though, I just do my fucking job to get paid, no matter how much I disagree with some things.

>>24716883
Obviously, you seem like you're just in a shit position but hey, there's that fewer underaged on 4chan.

>>24716686
All Kent School's (county where I'm at) will have lightspeed by the end of 2012.

Might be rolling out countrywide.
Kent is example of censorship.

>>24716859
Then we found out it was meant for teachers. They ended up putting a password on it.

It got leaked in less than two weeks.Gdwin123, took them four months to change it.

>>24716859
We actually just set up a shared area for their games, we will be mapping it into our logon script soon. We're fine with internal here at the College it seems. But external is very much a no no. Also, VBA, No$GBA and other emulators are banned under copyright and AUP on the drive.

>>24716828
We set up Halo and Quake 3 on an infrastructure similar to this.
Plus a few friends and I knew how to at least screencap and keep it running in the background, so we would Alt-Tab whenever someone was coming.
Simple trick, but it works so well. Never got caught once ever since middle school.

>>24716916
I'm only a Microsoft Advanced IT Apprentice.
Lucky I got this shit though, I get a Comptia A+, N+ and an MCITP in Win 7 out of it, as well as 2 Diploma's. Got Dreamspark premium, so free servers, dev tools and free Desktop OS's, and Microsoft foot the bill for all my training.
