____________________________________________________________________ [ 8:. [ Foolproof ] [fluid] :. ] [fluidenterprises@email.com] :. ] ____________________________________________________________________ FoolProof is a tool used by schools, internet cafes, libraries and other places that don't want you 'fool' around on their computers. There is only one problem. It only protects the system from fools. Anyone with a little bit of knowledge(or this guide) could easily disable FoolProof. Here's how. The best method I find for disabling FoolProof is to reboot the computer. As its starting up hit F8 and boot up windows in safe mode. In safe mode, FoolProof doesn't run which makes it very easy to disable. From there you can go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall it or rename the fp95 directory to anything else and it won't work when you restart the computer again. But there's still my favorite method left. Once windows is started in safe mode, edit the autoexec and remove the line that refers to the fp95 directory. Then edit config.sys and remove the device line that refers to the fp95 directory. Then go into regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftW indowsCurrentVersionRun and remove the two fool proof entries. When you reboot the machine, the foolproof directory will still be there and it will still appear to be installed but it won't start up. Another way how you can prevent foolproof from starting up is press f8 while the computer is booting up. Then go to dos without autoexec.bat. You will be free to do whatever you want from there such as rename the foolproof directory or to edit it so it won't boot up. A long time ago, I think the system admin. disabled f on bootup on me. What I did then was made a boot disk and inserted in the computer. When the computer booted up, it give me a command prompt in dos, allowing me to remove foolproof however I like. Now, if you'd like to know the password and has foolproof installed so that foolproof will start and protect but you know the password so you can turn it on and off as you please. Simple. First, do what I said above. Now that foolproof is remove turn on the computer. Once it boots up, start up a keylogger(Keyloggers are available at http://www.hackersclub.com/km/files/hfil es/index.html). Now run the file C:fp95 fool32.exe. This will ask for the password. Now call over the system admin or whoever knows the password and ask them if they'll turn it off for a sec. So they come and type in the password and turn it off, even though it's already off and disabled. Once they leave, check the keylogger and find out the password. You can then edit the autoexec.bat, config.sys and the registry and put the foolproof entries back in so that foolproof will boot up, but you can always turn it off with your new found password. If the methods above don't work then it's your chance to fool around with foolproof. Some things that have helped me in the past is Microsoft Word. Open up Microsoft Word and go into Help About, then click on system information. This program allows us to do anything Run would allow us to do. Thank you Microso$t. You could also open up Visual Basic and start a new standard exe and put this in: Private Sub Form_Load() Dim run run = Shell("C:command.com", 1) End Sub When you run the program it will open up a msdos window. Try out some dos commands and see what you have access too. It might not be much. Well, those are my tips and tricks. Anyone with more information feel free to email me and share the knowledge. Or, after reading this you still can't figure how to disable it, email me and I'll try to help you out. I'd like to thank Nebulous and Virtual Punk for help with this article.
