A challenge from my network administrator

leyton · 03-31-2009, 09:22 AM

I am trialling an Asus eeePC netbook for my school. They're planning to replace pen and paper.

My network administrator at school has set me the task of changing the SSID on it to SWCHS-WEP.

My school uses Citrix, and XP Pro on all the pc's, but they've been hardened so you can only use Citrix on them ... it can be bypassed by using safe-mode with CMD.

Any help??

I personally offer no help to break security even if its claimed to be a test =)

well, look. even if i did change the ssid, i wouldn't be able to get into the network, as its wep protected.

Are we beginning to see that it's a test??

the whole idea is if i can get to the stage b4 it changes, show the administrator, and then he knows what to do to improve it.

We don't provide this sort of help here, I'm closing this thread. Perhaps a read of the Tech Support Forum Rules & Conduct is in order.
