Not trying to be mean, I meant it when I said thanks.

Maybe you kids don’t understand why the computers are locked down the way they are. The schools can get in a lot of trouble when you use programs like Kazaa to download illegal files. MP3, software, and games can contain virus that can take down a network. Those same files can also install spy ware that slows down the network and/or internet connection.

I’ve heard about Microsoft and Adobe coming into a school before and fining a school district 1000’s because of the some of the things the students did. Where do you think the money is going to come from? It’s coming out of the funds that we use to replace old computers with, buy newer program with, and the funds we use to buy new desk/chairs with. Then everyone loses. Kids that do that negatively impact everyone. Districts don’t have an unlimited supply of funds. Almost every year, the funds at my district get frozen because we run out of money mid-year.

Chats rooms and web site like myspace and yahoo messenger are a breeding ground for sex, drugs and other bad things. There are grownups that prey on kids all the time with these sites. Since you’re at a public school, we have the right to block them for your protection.

Games are nothing but a waste of time. You’re there to learn, not play tribes, doom, or some Java game.

Your 100% right, there will always be a way to get around programs like DF, vision or any other program given enough time. But here is where you lose. At my school, you would get caught, have your account disabled, and then not be permitted to be on any school computers. Since your teachers would know you couldn’t be on a computer, the only way you could then do homework would be at home. You would have to do you research with books, and any projects that you NEEDED the computer for; you’d get an F. Guess who wins then?

So, is it really worth trying to get around those programs? If you’re smart, then you would say “no”. If you still want to try and get around them, then you WILL be caught. We have other tools, at my school anyway, that have be successful in nailing kids that try this very things that you’re talking about.

Here’s the bottom line. It’s a game. A cat and mouse game if you will. There will always be kids that try to do things their not suppose to. There will always be people like me that throw obstacles in their way. Will we always be successful? Nope, but it will prevent 90% of the kids from doing it. The other 10% will get theirs in due time.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have other hack sites to go to and more obstacles to erect.

oh, and by the way, we’re well aware of taskkill. We’re also aware of ways to beat it.

I agree with you that some games can be educational. We have a C and visual basics class here that use simple games to help kids program. I have no problem with those types of games. They remind me of Math blaster when I was a kid. It’s the games that are brought from home, or download from the net that get them in trouble. To get those games to work, you also need to get around the filter, no big deal I admit, and install software. All of which are aganist the rules.

There are two types of kids IMO. “KIDS” are the ones that will do anything they want, including hacking your network, downloading kazaa, and vandalize your equipment. “Kids” are the one that will follow the rules (for the most part), and only do stupid little things like play online java games. One kind gets caught, and written up, and treated like a child. The other gets a tap on the shoulder, asked to get off the game site, and treated with respect.

I appreciate the offer, and even may take you up on it. =-) I see your point about coming off rude, and it truly wasn’t my intent to do so. I apologize if I came off that way.

Hey mate.

I am a fellow Mac user and am happy that you have decided to switch to Apple, but, thats not what I am here to ask you. You see, one of the computer teachers that we have here thinks that Deep Freeze on an XP Pro machine is un-hackable, and he has given me permission to hack and destroy this computer at school if I can, probably thinking that it is not possible.

• Now, what I want to do is to delete deep freeze, either by booting from a Linux LiveCD (Ubuntu probably, my choice of Linux distro) and deleting those files that you have posted above, but I would need to get the file paths from you.
• The second option that you gave as well was to run some .EXE from a floppy disk that would give me the passwords of the users on that machine that you have posted / will post somewhere.

If I could get the resources for both options that would be great. I have included my email in the email field on the ‘Leave a Reply’ form, so if you want to contact me that way, please feel free to do so. You can also use that Yahho! email address to add me to your MSN list if you have MSN. Yes, my Yahoo! mail is my MSN Passport :D.

Thanks a lot mate.

may someone be more specific on bypassing deep freeze.. and does anyone know if these a new unfreezer out yet .. i have the new version and the old one dosnt work..

thankyou

Some kids, yes, will do stupid things like download things using LimeWire, etc. Others of us are just curious, and won’t cause much damage. I wouldn’t dare do something stupid like that, I’d probably get too nervous I did, however, have great fun finding the IP’s of the laser printers with LCD’s on their front panels, and changing the status messages Harmless, nonetheless, but it would probably throw half the tech people in our school into a panic.. They are clueless, most of the time.. I’m a student there, and some tech people spent a couple hours trying to fix a problem on a computer, and the teacher whose computer it was asked me casually to take a look, and I fixed it within a couple minutes.. The fonts in IE were always too big in webpages.. IT diagnosed it as a bad video driver/card.. Yeah.. the text size attribute in the View menu is a bad driver..

I am working for a computer shop, sometimes i am the technician and im using the DEEP FREEZE 5 for 5 years, and this is my problem………….. when i put the password and thawed then restart, coz i need to update all my programs, example games. After updating the games and right back the password. I must Boot Frozen then restart and after that restart one of the file currupted. The icon of deepfreeze5 was missing and did not appear. I find it that the computer didn’t did recognize the program so i reinstall the program. But the program says “Deep Freeze standard must be disabled before any install/uninstall can proceed”, but how can i uninstall the program??? if i didnt see the deepfreeze icon. I restart and Restore the computer but still the deepfreeze did not appear.
I can’t update again the games if i didn’t put the password and thawed.

Ei,

i’ve deleted all of the files u’ve mentioned but deep freeze 5 is still running..

Hi a cant find all file which are written under FOR WINDOWS 2K/XP, so can anyone help me?

[quote]What version of Deep Freeze is the system running. I know that this guide will do absolutely nothing for you if you are using version 5.[/quote]

Its version 6.

[quote comment="26"]CAMERON

I know

Well…it sounds to me that you are logged in on a limited account. First matter of business is to get on an administrative account. Getting access to an administravite account can be very easy. I will post soon a tool on “Eric’s Tools” that will be an .exe that you can write to a floppy disk and boot, it will take all the users and there passwords and put them in a .txt. There is serveral ways to gain access to an administrative account, im sure you can find a way. I will make a HOW TO post all about different methods of have to gain control[/quote]

I wrote this article back when version 4 was still out. So a lot of things have changed. If I can get my hands on another machine with the newest version, to see how you could get around it, i would love to update the article for it.[/quote]

Where are these erics tools?

Im using version 5 how do i get around this shit. I use the same computer everyday all day so i dont have to worry about anyone else discovering what i have done. I just need a little help. I was going to try to boot from a windows disk then use the repair option and attempt to delete every existence of DF5 but i know bout DF4 not 5. so when i figured out it was 5 i was like f**k…….. well eric can you help me please.

hey, was wondering if there is a way to “temperarily” disable deep freeze, the computers i work with at school are all running vista, with df , the problem is the IT dept refuses to do security updates (sp1 needed badly), and the monitor resolution is always set at 1024 x 768 instead of 1280×1024 pointless for nice 19″ lcds, right? ive submitted multiple requests to have these things changes for better efficiency/productivity but they dont see it as a “priority” to get it fixed, they basically told me they will get to it in 6-8 months…

Yes there is, as long as you know the password. In your case, your most likely not going to have that password. I realize that changing the screen resolution is a pain to do evertime, but you’ll just have to live with that.

SP1, is still being tested by most IT departments. It has been my experience working in IT, that most IT departments give a significant amount of time before running major updates to there systems.

Without knowing the password to df there is nothing you can do. I would suggest just living with it.[/quote]

I installed deep freeze 6 but I can’t get the dam password screen to pop up!! help??

And when I click the deep freeze .exe file it say i need to disable deep freeze standard 6 but how if I can’t even the get admin control panel to come up. I tried ctrl alt shift and f6 but nothing!!!!

I have just successfully deleted deep freeze and happy to share with everyone. My computer is now 100% fully operational.
In my case, I’ve used the 2nd boot VISTA to browse XP o/s drive which has deep freezed problem.
You must config files and folder options to unhide all operating system files and folders so you can able to get to it, and use Administrator’s rights to delete deep freeze.

Deepfreeze resides 2 areas:

1 = C:\Program Files\Faronics
2 = C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\DF518.tmp

Just delete those 2 folders (Faronics+DF518.tmp) and that should fix the problem.
Notice: I don’t even know which version of deep freeze was installed, but by looking into the running process task….it was the DF5Serv.exe is active.
So, if you have the same running process as mine, you should be able to UN-FREEZE the sucker.

By the way, if you’re not as lucky as I am having the second boot, you can always grab a piece hardware at the computer store which enable you to tap into a problematic drive……..from another computer by connecting through a usb cable. LOL

Even though my computer 100% fully functional, I thought I should let everyone know that I just found another file of deep freeze…located in (see picture)

C;\windows\system32\drivers\deepfrz.sys

JUST DELETE IT.

Eric,
Sent you an email regarding DF 6. Check your junk mail folder.

[quote post="55"]try pressing ctrl+alt+shit+F6, or if there is a deep freeze icon (looks like a white and grey circle, but if you look closer its a polar bear, if you hover with mouse it does nothing, as if it werent there…) in the lower right task bar, hold shift and double click on it. otherwise i would say it installed wrong…[/quote]

Yes, it’s true what you said. I’ve learn about these HOT KEYs from a DPF guide/instructions downloaded from Faronic’s website.
But to what I had encounted was very strange. It was not a virus but [b]worse than one[/b]. INSTRUCTIONS DID NOT HELP.

None of the little Bear icon nor the hidden DF control panel existed…….I would say my computer was basically 97% FROZEN.

No matter what trick I’ve tried….didn’t work. ………..so the only way to gain access to it ……..is when DF is INACTIVE. (access from the second OS boot or from another working computer)

My conclusion is, someone rewritten or modified DF module with an EVIL INTENTION in mind. So, watch out everyone. Don’t click that DF module unless you know it from a trusted source. Obtain a full version and make a DF installation module yourself. That way you would surelly know the password.

[quote comment=""]Another way to disable DF is replace deepfrz.sys [C:\windows\system32\drivers\deepfrz.sys] with a dummy file. This will put DF in a thaw mode. Restoring the original deepfrz.sys will activate DF. This method is great if you forget the password. If you need that dummy file. Let me know.[/quote]

But if DF checks to see what files have been modified/deleted and replaces them on restart, how could that work?

where can i find the file dfserv.exe????

Eric,
I’m trying to hack/uninstall Deep Freeze on an iMac running OSX 10.5.3 Can you help me get around it?
