I forgot to add KateOS. I went through a stage of bypassing school security software using a liveCD!

What type of security and why KateOS specifically? Not that I'm trying to do the same....

There was software installed on windows machines which blocked certain sites, port ranges and applications. Quite why they didn't do it at the actual gateway level is beyond me. So you could just load up a liveCD and have access. I used KateOS because it came on a free software DVD in a copy of PC Pro. As i slept at school, i was unable to get online to download any other liveCD.

1) Ubuntu
2) Puppy... installed on an ancient school computer so that we could see if it was possible (Interestingly, the technicians had a huge stack of Ubuntu disks in their office. )

Yep, when you have a large amount of things to do on a windows network you don't use Windows to do the job you use Linux :thumbsup: as it can run all the tools you need.
