Security Class bonus points, help?

[spiritseekerpsp]

Hey everyone! I just joined HTS, and can't wait to start on the tests. I'm currently enrolled in a Network Security course as part of my major, and my instructor is giving us bonus points for various shenanigans we can perform. Since I'd like a jump start on this, and we're only in Week 1, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas to share? I'm not looking to become some script-kiddie, I'm just new to this side of networking.

Here is our labs info:

We're on an "island", connected to the internet through a separate server than the rest of the college.
We have our own domain controller with RDP enabled, and all of us have been made Domain Admins. The one disallowed practice is disabling or deleting other user accounts. We all have our profiles stored on the DC downloaded to the comp when we log in. We're all running Windows 7. We are free to bring in programs, but all the PCs have antivirus on them.

Oh this sounds fun. Start with trolling the entire class and force redirect all traffic to http://www.heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa.com/

If your instructor likes to use powerpoint you could probably have some fun inserting humorous pictures and such. Also, if you use mac or linux you could some funny shit with text to speech and have it run every 5 minutes or something with crontab. Really, think of something funny, anything at all that you'd be willing to expose your class to, and let loose.

Oo! Don't limit it to just mac and linux, Windows also has a text to speech API. There's just an infinite amount of fun you can have with text to speech. Maybe make all the rooted computers speak a "WARNING: virus detected" thing all at once, scare the life out of everyone

If you really want to work at it, I always thought if would be fun to make the paperclip from windows ME or NT (don't remeber which one) pop up on everyones screen with a message like "It appers like you are trying to hack it to CIA servers, would you like some help?"

this thread has reminded me to try that text to speech stuff

Network Security + windows 7 ???? lol

you do know by default theirs about 45 per installed spyware apps in windows 7 right ? meaning no security in windows 7.

You are absolutely worthless. Nothing you just said (or have ever said) made any sense.
