Windows has lots of easy windows (?!) for getting administrator privileges without any password - Or at least had (haven't used it for a few iterations except on rare occasions).
Also from my experience all of the sand-boxing software I ever saw at libraries or schools was always very poorly designed and trivially subvertible.
Felony charges are absolutely nuts though.
- ehmmm 12y agoYeah... I also think you are drawing your information from the Windows 95 era.
- pizzeys 12y agoDo you think privilege escalation is unusual on Windows now, then? :)
- ehmmm 12y agoLoaded question.
- hurin 12y agoBack in middle-school; the public library nearby installed 4-5 new machines down on a lower level for word-processing (they were better than my home pc even), so pretty soon we had Unreal Tournament installed on every machine, and that would be our goto spot after school. Once in a while someone would get banned from the library for a couple weeks (I think other kids that saw us started playing as well, so it was hard for them to identify a culprit), they would call in IT, overhaul their computers and we'd be back to laning a month later once things cooled off.
- Avernar 12y agoThe only windows we had back then looked outside. :) The computer labs were all IBM PS/2 model 30s running DOS. The servers were a model 70 running Netware. The school backbone was token ring. The lab network ran on some oddball daisychain system. Telephone cable and the cards had two RJ11 jacks on them. Still trying to figure out what kind it was.
