Unforseable Hacktions November 18, 2009

After hacking my lappy, which i’m quite laid back about now, I realised another person who hacked their lappy (who i thought knew what they were doing) completely stuffed it.

And i don’t mean small things like losing apps or buggy menus, it’s completely stuffed.

For more awesome people (ie. Linux users) you might say its “fsck’d”

Not only did he trust apps he found on FACEBOOK! He continued to change system vital settings he can no longer connect to internet in the classroom, He can’t login to a DET account, and he has to log into the Admin account which he changed the name of.

To me it was just dumb, Now if they are audited he wont be able to cover whats already been done, He didn’t make a backup image incase  review is done and the only way or him to have it fixed without having to admit he is a loser is to DBAN (Zero File the HDD) and say “umm, its broked it is”

Anyway i like the guy but i warned him, i even told him about the potential of acid spraying out when he opened it.

On a lighter note, my hack was much better, I ran a Bootable app running on a Linux Kernel (Rather than a loser app run in windows off facebook) And it lets you cancel any changes before you save it.

It works by copying the SAM, SECURITY, and SYSTEM files and editing them as you wish (using a very simple command line interface) Then when your done you can save them over the old ones. It only ever edits copies until you confirm the changes so if you do something you didnt want to do you can still use your PC.

Mine keeps the Admin account in the name Administrator, And i can use my DET account to log into it. By looking at it you wouldn’t know its different to any other year 9 Lenovo S10e Except mine is black :)

That and my internet still works at School (Except for in the admin account because the password has changed and i dont know the old one)

Over im happy with the hack but dissapointed by howw easy it was and annoyed that someone could fsck it up so bad it wasn’t worth hacking
