My school has only been open for 6 years, for the last 6 years the school has issued a secret code to every student. This code is used as the password to get on a computer. Well since the begging of this week my friends Mike, Sergio, and I decided to break this code and find out the secret, and today we finaly did. Now before I go anyfarther i'm going to let you know our intentions for this is to prove to the school that the students need to decide there own codes, so only they know them. Now im going to tell you how we came about all the information and prove it to you, if you have questions feel free to ask. The first 5 digets where the easyest. It was the 4th and 5th letter of the last name (e.g. richmend) the first two letters are hm. The 3rd letter is the first letter of the first name (e.g. Robert) the first three letters are hmr. The next three are numbers and the first two are tookin form the last 2 numbers in your I.D. (e.g. 453287) the code so far is hmr87. There is a 6th number which kept us thinking for the next 2 day's, we became frustrated and some times would get really mad. We knew if we cracked this last number we where almost there, yesterday we did this. For people with middle names the formula came back (n= number of letters in name) n-5=?x2, and for the people who didnt have a middle name it was, freshmen = 1, sophmore = 3, juniors = 5, seniors = 7, and 5th year seniors = 9 as the last number (e.g. hmr871). So we broke the code, its not 100%, because it hasnt been tested with every student in the school, there is a 1/17576000 chance that this is right. Now i know what you might be thinking "well what if they dont have 5 letters in there last name?". This is what we solved today, for people with 2 letter last names it was there full last name and there full I.D. number, for people with 3 letters it was the 1st. and 2nd letters in the last name with the rest of the code being the same as everyone else. For people with 4 letters it was only a 5 diget code, being there 4th letter in there last name, first letter in there first name and the rest of the code being the same. Well if you stuck through it all and have questions please ask. All names and numbers where made up at random, as far as i know those people and numbers arnt real. |

Im quite proud of my accomplishment, no one has ever been able to crack this (they do it a diffrent way each year) last year they where planning on posting everyones name I.D. and code as the senior prank but they never cracked the code.
Choopie, some people gave us there codes so we could have something to work off of, and of course we used our own. like I said where not %100 but we havent been wrong out of about 200 student thay let us test it so I guess its for sure 2/27 correct. |

That's awesome. I wish someone would bust through the security on the computers in our county, which automatically ban some of the stupidest things, like flash.
Fortunately, in my new school, they just have rules you should follow, and they enforce them. Much better, since if they trust you they let you do things like use the admin code to reconfigure the systems. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

Some one said something about having to pay some programmer to come change it. Well we have a programmer on our staff and thats what we wanted to do, so they would be forced to use another method of the code so by doing this where hoping they will. We'll bring it to the schools attention on monday, so we have more time to prove it. |

BTW I found something I wasnt planning on today, there where two people with the same name, including the middle name, and the last 2 numbers in there I.D.'s where the same (e.g. 534978 & 634278). Now what they did was +1 to one guys and -1 from the other guys. I found it quite interesting, and made me wonder how many people can have the same name and same last 2 digets in there I.D.? well you have better chance of winning the lotto. |

Again, what are you going to do with this now? My idea, take the time to uncode them all. Post name, that code, and a write up on how to ge the code. Hand it to the dean and ask if you should post it around the school. -------------

How can you people say get a life? Cadet worked on this during
lunch and before school. I'm not too sure what you guys do during
your lunch, but we just sit around and talk about realy random
stuff. Like what we are susposed to do during the next period
class. I think it is great of him to have an intrest in this, and
have a desire to use it to better the system, rather then exploit
it. I also think thoes of you that say get a life are rather
jelous(sp) that you have not the mental capacity and/or patience to do
what he did. I'm going to bed now. Btw, I think our passwords are random. If you are up for another challenge, you can try to crack mine and if you can find any relevance PM me and I will supply you with more information. Password: pre3e3. Name: Keith Dominic Howell. ID: 2000760. Keep up the good work. |

At my old high school it was the first leter of your name, then your last name, that was your username, the password was your school id. But after you logged on, you just changed it. So.. it didnt matter. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">
