PC fun

Post by Sno »

Sup homies

Much of my year so far has been dedicated to preparing kiddies for a computer competition. I'm on the red team this year, and I'm wanting to blow their minds. So far, I've got a lot of old programs that they'll start off with and mis-configurations in mind that'll take them hours to fix. Oh, and I'll br bricking some of their OS's just to make things more interesting. Anyone know any programs that are bloaty, useless, and irritating that I can throw into the mix? The goal is to see how they react to such situations and how they go about mitigating complications while performing job responsibilities. Kinda like an Admin on crack.

I also discovered the beauty of being able to downgrade Linux 5 years, this event is getting way too fun :lol:

Norton AV 2000 edition = Check
5 different browser toolbars for IE 5 = Check
HP software package = Check
Comet Cursor = Check
Desktop Dancer = Check :)

Believe it or not, the top 3 bogged the lab system down big time.

For a while Norton AV was a TERRIBLE resource hog. Not sure how it is now.

Success!

REAL player, AIM, Bonzi Buddy, and about 10 other bloatware programs gave them a headache while we popped their systems. Did anyone know there is an actual Linux distro named HANNAH MONTANA LINUX? Oh, it exists...and it will make you poop rainbows and cupcakes :lol:
