(Please read the introduction, I worked hard on it and it will help introduce you to the concept of hacking school computers)

Hey HackForums!

I've recently been on the Beginner Hacking section a lot and I've noticed that there are a lot(and I mean a lot) of posts asking how to hack into school computers.
Well, stop posting those posts there because I'm going to tell you how to do it!

First off, I want to clarify that this method is for educational purposes only and I don't take any responsibility for your actions.

To get started, allow me to explain the three different types of admin privileges.
We've got:

Local admin privileges,

Network admin privileges,

Server admin privileges.

Gaining local admin access is very easy, and I will teach you how to do this in this tutorial.

Gaining network admin access is slightly harder and can be done from the computer you used to gain local admin access.

Lastly, to gain server admin access, you need network admin access but you need to a bit of keylogging. Nothing massive and it's still fairly easy.

Now that I've finished my introduction, let's get to the actual hacking part.
I've got three methods for gaining admin on school computers. Try method one first, if that doesn't work you have to do either method two or method three to get method one to work.

Method one
What you will need:
Command Promt(cmd) to be unblocked.

Alright. This one is the easiest, the problem though, is that usually, cmd is blocked. If cmd isn't blocked, awesome. Just do these simple steps!
Step 1. Open cmd. There are two ways to do this. Number one is to press (Windows key) and the "R" key at the same time and type "cmd". The second way is to create a new text file, write inside it:

Code

@echo off
command
pause

and save it as "something.bat" without the quotations.

Step 2.
Once you're in cmd, type:

Code

net user *NameYourAccount* /add

Remember to remove the stars.
What this does is creates a new local account. Remember this name because we're going to use it later. The name can be anything.

Step 3.
Now, once you've completed the last step, write:

Code

net localgroup

What this does is allows you to see the different usergroups on that machine.
Find the name of the admin group. It's usually "Administrators", but it could be different.
Once you've found it, type this(assuming that the group is "Administrators"):

Code

net localgroup Administrators *ThatAccountYouMade* /add

remember again to remove the stars and to use the account you just created.

Congrats! You've gained local admin access! Most of the time though, cmd is not accessible. Read methods two and three to learn how to make it accessible!

Method two(Used to unlock cmd so you can use method one)
What you will need:
A disk you can write to
Ophcrack. You can download Ophcrack here: http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/download...ype=livecd

What Ophcrack does is it searches through your computer for passwords. 90% percent of the time, in my experience, it will recover an admin password and you can use that to log on and make yourself an admin.

So first things first, burn the Ophcrack iso to a disk. Make sure that you download the correct Ophcrack version, as they are different for different versions of Windows.
Once you've burned Ophcrack onto a disk, insert it into your school computer, turn it off and go into the bios. Boot from the disk.
It's pretty simple from there, you'll be able to figure it out.

If this doesn't work, however, try the next method. The third method always works.

Method three
What you will need:

Yet another disk that you can burn things onto
Backtrack 5(Yes, I know there are better things to use but I have experience with BT5.) You can download BT5 here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/

So you have to burn BT5 to your disk, simple enough. After you're done burning we can continue.

Like Ophcrack, you have to boot from the CD. Once you're booted, you'll see a console type menu. Here are the commands you have to type:

Code

fdisk -l

Look for the biggest Windows partition. It's usually called "dev/sda2" but it can be different for you.
Now, type:

Code

mkdir /mnt/xp
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/xp
cd /mnt/xp

Now you're inside the Windows partition without any restrictions. Now here's where it gets tricky. Don't screw this up, ok?
To get into the root of your partition, type this:

Code

cd WINDOWS/system32

We have to remove something called sethc.exe. To do this we type:

Code

rm sethc.exe

Once you've done that type this:

Code

cp cmd.exe sethc.exe

What this does is copies cmd.exe under the name "sethc.exe". Awesome.

Now that you've done all this, shut down your computer and remove the BT5 disk. Boot up the computer normally until you're in the main Windows screen. Press the SHIFT key 5 times and cmd will appear, this is an unrestricted cmd. Now go back to method one and do that in your new cmd.


Congratulations, you've successfully hacked into your school computer to gain local admin access.

If you guys want to know how to gain Network and Server access, let me know in the comments and I'll put together a tutorial for it.

This was my first tutorial, so it's probably terrible, please feel free to let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading and I hope you've learned something.

What if you don't have access to CMD and also can open it when you make it with notepad?

[Ellie Goulding]

So how would I get CMD to be unblocked? :P Great tutorial! +1 for this (*:

Use method two or three to unblock cmd! If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Not sure what school you go to but none of these would have worked with the HS I went to. Maybe some schools it would though, nice tutorial.

Don't believe in hacking school computer though, theirs no real purpose to it. Will likely just cause problems, and it can easily be prevented by obviously not doing it.

I had a school issued laptop which was awfully slow due to all the crappy software they had installed on it. I used this to gain admin and uninstall all the software, making it a faster laptop and making it easier to do my studies.

Also, how would it have not worked? Locked bios? Usually booting from a live cd is possible. If you've booted from a live cd, you're home free and you can work on the Windows partition from there.

Very detailed, thanks man easy to understand.

Good job OP the cmd thing didnt work on my school computer so i will try it with ophcrack.

[TheWhiteHatter]

nnnniiccee tutorial, used to play around with cmd now i know what to do in it.

[David Tennant]

Good job OP the cmd thing didnt work on my school computer so i will try it with ophcrack.

May I suggest doing the BT5 method instead of Ophcrack? BT5 has a 100% success rate whereas Ophcrack is around 90%.

[Maffia]

alright thank you sir ;) will do the BT5 one

[NoisySpaceBalls]

Great looking tutorial, Planning to test it out tomorrow.

Good luck! Post back with results. 🤝

Do you guys want me to post pictures of my school laptop proving that it works? I can do that tomorrow if you want.

[NoCheatBypass]

my school has so many protections but i will still try to do this

---

downloading a program to the school computer they will still know you tried to hacked into the computer

[Vexane]

Is there anyway to get tracked?
I really want to try this, but I'm scared
