At the school I go to, I must admit the security is pretty poor. Firstly one can use a USB stick, whihc you can pretty much bring a virus on, some hacking tools you name it. They block saving of.vbs,.bat and stuff like that for homedrives, But I could save these files anywhere else on the network and it would allow me to run it, which then could cause a DDos attack or somthign to the network. Also netsend is not blocked, so If sombody wanted to, they could probley send thousands of netsends or do some kind of attack that way. Also they don't monitor network traffic, so if sombody changed the cables to make a loop, causing thousands of packets to be sent, it would take them atleats a day or so to fix it. Also the firework is a piece of crap, all youi have to do is do https:/// or vist a proxy server like snoopblocker.com. Also they don't record logins, so if sombody did somthing at a computer they wouldnt know, because they dont record logins. Also lots of teachers keep programs open which hold information about students etc, which anybody could easily access if they left there rooom. Also on the teachers pc there are extra softwares for them, but if any student where to logon to that pc, they would be able to access these tools. One being able to watch every pc screen in the scholl and take control them, so if the admins left there office, they leave the pcs open and running, one could connect to there pc and do some destruction. One could easily plug there laptop into the network, and do all sorts of attacks such as ARP poisining to get password etc etc. The list goes on and on.
