the day the network admin pulled me out of class and quietly informed me he had discovered my little trick to pirate and broadcast (unfiltered) internet access throughout the school's LAN..
i was in the yearbook club, and computer science club, i got to build the yearbook server... i threw 3 NIC's in it...
the network at the school had one subnet for everything "inside" the school, and it had an http content filter (some software that ran on the name/domain server, called bess if i remember correctly) another subnet that i discovered was on the other side of the bess server, and i could use an openDNS nameserver for resolution, well i threw one NIC on this network, and used windows 2000 server internet connection sharing to share the unfiltered connection to the second NIC, all you had to know was the ip address of the nic, and assign it manually anywhere on the whole entire campus's LAN, and you successfully bypassed the content filtration...
the third nic, i just let grab it's ipv4 stuff from the regular "inside" dhcp/name/domain server...
so as far as anyone else knew, it was just a fileserver for yearbook pics/data that sat in the corner in the back of the computer lab
long story short... i didnt get in trouble
got away with it for well over half the school year, let a few people know about it, and they let a few, and we eventually ran out our luck hehe...
