Genome@home

[jaguar]

I know the admin (he let me install a few things for when we had to do webdesign work which i considered essential - photoshop and flash) so its cool by him, and geonome@home is done so it dosen't take cycles from any other program, just uses the unused ones so it has zero effect on useability of the computer. Yes the admin ain't too bright, i don't think he set up their backend, its too well done (you don't even need a user/pass to log into any of the normal box's yet every port but 80 and 443 are blocked, and the firewall runs bsd i think. So hes ok with it its just a matter of getting it though their proxy system, its an odd setup, i tried to copy the setting from ie (which are wide open too...), it seems you connect to one proxy, which then lets you though to a second, but i couldn't get it to work...and yes i've heard of that case with that guy shoving seti@home.....crazy
The end boxs are totally insecure, it seems every suer (including jsut hitting esc at the NT logon give you superuser priliges, its crazy, but hey its a girls school, not exact 1337 hax0r land like my school where you can't do *anything* to the computers, including access any folder but temp....
