HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well they started a new laptop policy at my school, man I knew it was gunna be really fun

Well we first chatted over msn, then came flash games but then a couple of friends had a class where the teacher wouldnt teach anything (web design). Sooo I thought of an awsome game that doesnt require high specs so we played HALO CE during that class. First it was 3 of us then 4 then 6. Now we set a 10 person in school lan record.

Later on they put "security" a new software called smart filter(didnt block halo. only web). It blocked everything (halomods, xboxscene, several sites) I thought it was dumb so I set up a web site with a domain I owned and made a private internet proxy. It worked great until they blocked it, btw I just made a new site with a dot tk domain. Last thing I did was create a wirless network from my laptop so we could play halo with no lag.... All the people from my skool somehow got connected to my network and It lead to chaos

Well today I was in the principals office and all these logs of internet data netowrk stuff+ the whois of my personal domain was put infront of me with all the evidence proving how I broke about 10 school rules.

LEo-damm it was fun.....

Nice.
My metalworking teacher for some reason has about 20 computers in his room hooked up to a Lan. They all have halo PC on them too. He put it on
So usually if we finish projects we get a game going.
Luckily our schools network manager is teh dumb and thier filter basically wont let you download anything or open files from the net. Problem being all you have to do is rename the file to IEXPLORER and boom do whatever you want. :p

I don't mess around on our school computers unless our teacher lets us...my Tech teacher is really lenient and lets us do whatever if we're done with our projects.

Last year we had LAN parties every Friday at my school. Then the school board stepped in and we can't do that this year. Not that I care anymore, I'm so sick of games.

Our school had a LAN Tournament for Halo 2 Xbox.

They said nothing about modified Xboxes or map files. I won.

Wow, you people got cool teachers. All that mine let us do is surf the internet after our work is done, and most everything that I would visit is blocked, along with most of the proxies.

None of our school's computers can handle Halo, but a bunch of us played Doom95 and Quake2 during Computer Networking & Lit. >_>

Yeah. well, my Unix teacher actually played Halo with us on the PCs. On the digital projector. God bless LAN Hang 'em High with pistols.

I was in a Graphic Arts class that one kid installed CS on ALL the computers there. There was like 50 computers. We would play CS and eventually got the teacher playing it. Too bad the dean of students came in and threatened to suspend us all if it wasn't uninstalled on all computers. "Aww just let them play" is what my teacher said. Good stuff.

yeah but we take laptops to skool soo its easier to do stuff.

gg

We had a 3 person cs:s game in the career center. There's too much security bullshit to do anything on the regular computers.

lol, way to go. Last year in my animation class me and a few other guys played cs alot on lan. Teacher got mad sometimes if he was grumpy, but other then that he just ignored it.

I almost got caught remote SSH'ing the macs in school today. I do it every day during lunch and randomly kill processes like firefox that people are working on and open the drive tray and stuff, and someone suspected me, but I know how to hide my tracks, and the lab lady knows jackall about computers.

We found a little hole in our google system, Since the forums are still unblocked, I guess I'll also use this as a little note for myself when I get there.

We found a site called totalmotorcycle, which has a small Flash game center in it, with a lot of games from mainstream sites, such as Alien Hominid, and Heli Attack.


Go to google, and do a web search for "twoplayergames"

then click the first link, should send you Here

then edit to then it will give you a library to a ton of flash games, and entertainment you can have that can outlast the interest of Halo. just watch out for the OTS students, you wouldn't believe how many proxies are killed by the little preps that want to check myspace. Since it's really not "illegally" bypassing anything, it's not breaking any of the rules, except for the "No playing games" rule. It's not a suspendable offense.

lol jks

and i feel ya on how fast proxies seem to die once people hear about it.

as for mischief i've done on my network... no hacking or anything, i rather do that at home, but maybe later on this year when i get riskier... anyways, me and my friend have solely caused the school to institute a don't download campaign. no, we didn't ask them to start it, but if it wasn't for us... well, i'll just quote it for ya, important points bolded.

my college have a bunch of grave dodgers for librarians in which they can also log onto the pc your on from their own pc and log you off....such a shame they forgot to take the "end session" button out from the little icon that shows up when they log onto your pc....

I don't really have much to complain about as my college doesn't really give us any restrictions. There are no web restrictions and we actually have Firefox pre-installed on all computers (even though I prefer to use my own version via Portable Firefox on my flash drive) The biggest pain in my ass is them blocking the port that most IRC servers use, but that's easy to get around.

High school was a different story. I created a website on how to bypass the schools Internet blocks (just a simple how to use a proxy tutorial) and I got suspended for 10 days for it. Well, I technically didn't get suspended for making the site, but for "illegally" bypassing their blocks. I wouldn't have admitted to it, but they threatened to punish someone else that had a small part in it so I caved (I was weak back then) . They also claimed that I caused them $2000 in "software changes" to fix the problem but luckily they didn't charge me. In reality, all they did was edit a registry value disabling Internet Options. So that's my fairly lame story, now back to enjoying my insanely fast college Internet.

My NCT class is cool about his kind of stuff. There are strict no downloading stuff to the computer and proxy rules but there is a loophole that he cant do anything about. You are aloud to bring in an external HDD or flashdrive and run and download whatever you want to it as long as it doesnt put files on the NCT computer's HDD. We had a big quake game once.

We have smart filter.
It sucks.

College trust us slightly more then school, so I'm all good.
