Mining Litecoin on School PCs! :D

So, this is what I am doing now. I have very, very little profit, but.... yeah.

As you can see, I don't have high hashing speeds. (well, I can get up to 60Kh/s). Butm you can see that 3 of my workers (zombiepcs) have higher speeds.(Well, in the picture, pc 2 is not active). So, they are PC's at school. I set the miner to start silently on boot :D So, yeah. :D

Be careful with this sh*t, and don't have it report directly to your computers global IP, or you can get caught pretty quickly!

And doesn't the school computers antivirus pick it up?
Does this require administrator access?

Nope, it doesn't. Also, it doesn't even link to my PC. It works like this:

School PC >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pool <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Home PC

Both are connected to the pool. Don't worry. Also, I read the rules at school. It doesn't say I can't mine LTC with the PCs.

Alrighty then. I'm also working on a new addon for FGN, I'm not going to say much about it, but it's going to be really cool when it's done. :P

Hum, I look forward to it!

How do you make it launch silently on boot?

Well, on Windows I use a VBScript. School PC's use Linux though. On Linux you can run scripts on the terminal, or just run them without displaying on the terminal. Since I control every school PC (and I reset every root password) - basically, I'm the lord of the school PCs - I made it run as a startup script.

I was about to say.... My school uses Windows machines, with antiviruses. I am able to hack into the computers by using a Linux USB and fucking up the SAM file on the hard drive, so I reset the administrator password. But if I install stuff, it still doesn't give me all permissions.

Also, installing a program like this would throw the antivirus into a fit, and since the school computers love to throw your name onto every file you touch, I would get caught pretty quickly.

I dont know if your schools are just not as strict, or if you guys got lucky/good at it, but at my school you have to just logon with your city (public school) account, they have a live feed of whats on everyones monitors, and they can remotely take control of everyones pc, and they monitor EVERYTHING, my friend got suspended for watching some movies he brought on his flashdrive, didnt even get 5 mins into it xD

Ha. I'm better than the IT manager at school. Also, I reset the admin/root password at school, and I set it as a startup service. Besides that, the script runs on background and cannot be seen anywhere. 
They are strict, only not as good as me.

Same here. I used a USB stick to boot a school computer and then used a program in Linux to reset Administrator password, and re-activate the guest accounts... And for shits and giggles, I elevated the guest account to admin and erased the password. xD

My school also spies on us while we do our work.... Sooo, while I was in Linux, I just removed the program and made sure it wasn't usable again. After that, the PC was fully under my control. I could even set my background and use programs as Administrator with my network account.

There is only one IT at our school. She's a jackass, and is never here to fix anything. There is one entire computer lab where all the computers are missing graphics drivers.... ALL of them.
So yeah. xD

I control all of the school PCs. Also, I was the one to fix everything. So... yeah.

The way I gain control of school computers only works on the machine I modify. I do not gain any administrator rights over the network.

I would have to go to the core server room for that.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah, but I also control the network at school.
