How to hack Classroom Management Software
Hey guys, I'm new here (and the whole hacking related things)
So I was wondering, is it possible to hack classroom management softwares like vision with THC Hydra or John the Ripper (running from command prompt)? I am currently studying at Korea right now, so the Software isn't exactly Vision (it's a Korean software called Maestro CC which none of you would know). So it requires a password to turn it off or stop it from watching over your computer. The default password was 'maestro' but the teacher decided to change it. Back to the question, what commands exactly would I have to use to hack Maestro CC? The client is located in the system tray bar, and ending its process wouldn't work.
Also if you don't prefer THC Hydra, you can recommend me any other softwares to brute force (things like Cain and abel, though I don't know how to use them). If this doesn't work, I'll just have to use project neptune and have it installed in the teacher's computer (but this is going to be hard so please do help)
 
Here's an Attachment so that you at least have an dea of what I'm talking about.

You are asking us how to crack a program, we never heard about running on your school computer with a hash cracker and a network bruteforcer?

have you researched already how Maestro CC is working?

• how is the password checked
• are there known vulnerabilities
• is it running on the local pc

Sorry pal if have to break that to you but there is no hack button on these tools you need to research and know what exactly they are and what u can do with them, before you can hack something.

things you could try.

• gain admin rights and simply close it via task manager (if its running directly on the local pc)
• keylog your teacher, I recommend ghost keystroke logger ( I just love such toys)
• Try a Social engineering attack

But I don't recommend hacking your school, if you get caught you can be expelled easily.

The Watchers don't require keys or passwords. They simply Know.
In all seriousness though, Project Neptune is awesome.

Well I still prefer hardware keylogger they can't be detected by a anti virus software and they don't look very suspicious, and if he has physical access to the teachers pc I would definitely recommend it.

I tried Project Neptune, a keylogger in my teacher's computer, but it won't connect and send me emails (the log), hell it won't even run. I'll try your suggestion later (ghost keylogger was it?). Also, Maestro CC is like Vision,( http://www.netop.com/classroom-management-software/products/netop-vision.htm), but I have no idea what kind of password mechanism it uses. Maestro CC's website would be http://www.solusseum.co.kr/goods/good02_02.html?mname=goods&m_num=2&subnum=2 though it's in Korean and you'd need to run a translator to get any of them. I'm pretty sure that Vision uses the same basic thing.


Also, is it possible to use the softwares I mentioned above to try and just Brute Force the password field (like the one in the screenshot) It would be helpful if you could tell me the command so that instead of guessing the password from A-Z and numbers with it, I could use those programs.

The ghost keylogger is a hardware device which costs up to 120$
You'd have to buy it here http://www.keyghost.com/
You really want to bruteforce? Well then I suggest you should read through some tutorials about the software.
Nobody here is going to spoon feed you.

Lol I was hoping for something free, but I gues nothing is free.
I actually spent hours on the net to try and find the right tutorial,
but all the tutorials I found wasn't right for me (I don't need to hack a router or the window password). I don't have any background knowledge on languages (well I guess like a tiny bit) so I'm having a bit of hard time trying. You're comments did help though.

Yes your objective isn't to "hack...the window password". But that could provide the means to your objective (which is to break free from Maestro CC). Just go back to what Raavgo said.

There is a way to gain the admin rights on your teachers PC.
What you need is the ophcrack LiveCD and some time on the PC of your teacher.

• reboot the PC with the LiveCD
• get the admin password (will only work if the password is stored locally)
• install a key logger and give him the permissions he needs
• set exceptions in the antivirus software for the key logger if needed

or you could stop at point 2 and try if the admin password works for Maestro CC,  there are a lot of people using the same password for several logins.

You're lucky I had a good day so far, otherwise I wouldn't have explained something what can be researched easily!

[avpaddict]

Well I guess I can consider myself lucky.
Thanks man, you were of much help!


Can you recommend me of any good 'Free' and 'Software' Keyloggers to use?
I've tried Ardamaxx and Project Neptune, but it won't run on the first place (I guess a compatibility issue?)

You could try that for a change... Open Source Key logger
