School site unblocker program

School site unblocker program
This instructable will show you how to make a program that will give a code that can bypass some school servers and let you on to almost any site, it works with this site too.

This is also only made to help people under stand batch files more! it will only ping the website and give the ip address but used a lot of different batch codes to help people learn how to use them. if you server blocks ip and web addresses just find a proxy site.

!!!THIS DOES NOT WORK ON ALL SERVERS!!!!

For this instructable you will need:
1.Command prompt (To find this type CMD in run)
2.Notepad
3.BAT TO EXE coverter (I will include this file)
4.20 Minutes
5.(Optional) Photoshop
6.(Optional)Photoshop plug in(I will include this file P.S i did not make this plug in)

Also, the program is harmless and the school/work place cannot find out you are using it unless they look at your site history.(the history will not show the site address only the IP eg. 127.58.495.13)

Step 1Looks

Looks
First we are going to make the program so that it changes color each time it is used,this means that it may take a few seconds to load but it makes the program look better.

First open notepad and type:
@echo off
COLOR 3
echo thinking....

:START

SET /A CO= %RANDOM%
IF %CO% EQU 1 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 2 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 3 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 4 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 5 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 6 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 7 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 8 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 9 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 10 COLOR 1
IF %CO% EQU 11 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 12 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 13 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 14 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 15 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 16 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 17 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 18 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 19 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 20 COLOR 2
IF %CO% EQU 21 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 22 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 23 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 24 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 25 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 26 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 27 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 28 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 30 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 31 COLOR 3
IF %CO% EQU 32 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 33 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 34 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 35 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 36 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 37 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 38 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 39 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 40 COLOR 4
IF %CO% EQU 41 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 42 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 43 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 44 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 45 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 46 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 47 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 48 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 49 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 50 COLOR 5
IF %CO% EQU 61 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 62 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 63 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 64 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 65 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 66 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 67 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 68 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 69 COLOR 6
IF %CO% EQU 70 COLOR 7
IF %CO% LSS 0 GOTO START
IF %CO% GTR 71 GOTO START
CLS
ECHO HELLO
PAUSE

Now i will explain what each part of the code does:

@echo off <<does not show command location
COLOR 3 <<<makes the color 3 (light blue)
echo thinking.... <<<< ECHO displays a message on command prompt

:START <<< this is a location were you can use the GOTO command

SET /A CO= %RANDOM% << this is a command that makes the computer wait for an input, but you put %random% after the = to make the computer chose a random number,this is what can make the program load

IF %CO% EQU 1 COLOR 1 <<this makes the computer check to see if the %random% number is equal to 1 etc... then it executes the command next to it, in this case COLOR 1

IF %CO% EQU 2 COLOR 1

(the real code goes up to 70 like above)

IF %CO% LSS 0 GOTO START <<< if the random number is less than 0 it goes back to :START

IF %CO% GTR 71 GOTO START <<< if the random number is higher than 70 it goes back to :START

CLS << this command clears all text on the screen

ECHO HELLO << this just says hello but it will be the welcome message

PAUSE <<< this is only here util we move onto the next part,but it will pause the screen

Now save the file as A.BAT and open it, it should load then chose a random color and then say Hello. if this does not work look over the code.
To edit the saved file right click and chose edit.

how can you get to CMD w/o task manager? my school blocked it.
Mar 26, 2010. 12:47 PMmeh301 says:
You can use the windows xp default dearch program and search cmd. Then all you have to do is click on it.
Jul 8, 2010. 7:32 PMPsychic Master says:
you could also create a clone with batch files...

I  don't get it because half of the 'ible is how to make itcolorful. You're not going to show it to other people. I don't know myschool's blocker program it just opens up a Blue window and it says"this site blocked bla bls bla"
Aug 31, 2009. 7:22 AMd2j5 says:
would this work on getting through the blocker" dans guardian" because its what my school uses

tell me how....? send it to my e-mail. ery_yahaya@yahoo.com.my
May 19, 2008. 2:33 PMtron1o7 says:
theres a much simplier way to do this. just open a cmd shell then type in "ping youtube.com" i used youtube as an example. after ping you really type the name of any website but it wont work if it is a really long url. the downside to this is that if u do this at school and at school its private and everyone needs there own laptop than theres probaly some guys who are incharge of fixing broken laptops and blocking/possibly unblocking others. at my school though the only site that anyone really trys to get to that isnt block is youtube, but me and my friends think that youtube isnt blocked cause the guys in the tech lab like to get on youtube that way during school and watch stuff while they work lol
May 20, 2008. 2:55 PMmattameo213 says:
I don't know about you but how am I sopposed to get to a command prompt from school, or is the idea to do this at home and just carry in the URL number.
Aug 1, 2008. 8:13 AMchip123 says:
not sure if this works, as i haven't tested it at school open "run" by pressing and holding "win key(the key with the windows sign/flag on) and r" without quotes them type in "cmd" without quotes and there you have it, command prompt at school.
Jun 19, 2009. 1:55 PMMadrias357 says:
The teachers at our school bought keyboards that didn't have the Windows key on them just to prevent this.
Jun 24, 2009. 4:15 AMBJM98765 says:
it won't matter. go ALT + CTRL + DEL. then click task manager if its not all ready up. the click "new task"
Aug 1, 2008. 8:17 AMchip123 says:
or write a simple batch file (if you have notepad) type: cmd save type: all files save name: something.bat right click file and select run/open
May 22, 2008. 10:38 AMtron1o7 says:
No, I mean that if at your school each student has a laptop like on they take to each class and take home. like they might lease from the school for a year or something if u go 2 a school like that like me just open a command prompt and type "ping (insert url here)" but if you go to a school like mine where they do that they probally have most websites u want 2 go to block...sadly

That batch to exe program actually a small virus dropper! Sorry about the bad news.
Jun 22, 2009. 12:25 PMYummyPancakes says:
Yeah. That program is absolutely USELESS. There is no point in turning a BAT file into an EXE file, since either will ALWAYS run under windows (and even Linux, via WINE). The hacker who wrote that program was trying to target n00bs (no offense to anyone) who didn't know very much about computers. I've seen a few trojan droppers like that. Actually, no one should be trying to break their school's blocker anyways!
Oct 15, 2008. 12:13 AMkilla696 says:
What do you use? could be a false alarm, a freind at school's anitvirus program said that google earth was a virus....
Jun 22, 2009. 12:26 PMYummyPancakes says:
Google Earth is definitely not a virus, though it could be infected by one. Or a false alarm, like you said.
Dec 16, 2010. 3:11 PMd2j5 says:
sometimes at my school the blocking program will go as far as to block already safe or "unblocked" websites. it actually blocked our homepage for our school once........... -.-
Aug 31, 2008. 10:08 PMjchar77 says:
The batch to exe program adds a little code to the files it has been told to convert and that code is in the form of a small virus dropper. I had to delete some applications that I was working on.
Oct 13, 2008. 9:22 PMArbitror says:
Wait... Add exit on the very end of the file!
Oct 13, 2008. 9:23 PMArbitror says:
I mean add
exit
to the very end of the file!

For icons, if you don't want to make your own and be lazy, look up one at www.iconarchive.com and search for one you like. Theres a biohazard icon in the medical stuff, pretty cool. Also, when you save it, click the "Save as .ico" part next to the image BTW, I use this program all the time, Simple and easy to use. Great job!
Mar 10, 2009. 1:48 PMTATcreator says:
On one of your lines you typed:
IF %CO% LSS 0 GOTO START
You do not have to put this line, %RANDOM% will not generate a value below zero or higher than 32,767.
Mar 5, 2009. 11:46 AMBlueBurn says:
can't you jest open cmd.exe and type ping (web address) it'll give you the i.p. address to make cmd.exe: go to notepad -> type "command.com" (without the speech marks) -> save as...-> batch.bat
Jan 26, 2009. 12:30 PMTATcreator says:
Why do you put all of the color changing commands? If it is to create the loading effect, you can just type this:
echo Thinking....ping localhost -n 5 > nulclsecho Welcome!
...And so on.

"ping" is basically a "pause for xx seconds" command (when pinging to localhost).
Jan 29, 2009. 12:13 PMTATcreator says:
When you ping to "localhost", you are pinging to your own computer's IP.
Jan 27, 2009. 8:00 AMxACIDITYx says:
I don't understand why you have to even put the ping command. If the program can do it near-instantaneously, why faux it to make it look like it's taking time? In your instance of "thinking" it may help, but like on your "TAT"creator batch program, you don't need a "loading" screen or pinging localhost; just start it up. It's a waste of valuable time, imho.
Jan 27, 2009. 9:00 AMTATcreator says:
Yes, but it is much simpler to include in the source code than "if %co%=2 color 1" typed ten dozen times. But we may be at a misunderstanding. Why do you include this?
Jan 27, 2009. 1:47 PMxACIDITYx says:
No, I don't see a reason to include either. If the computer can compute it simultaneously, then why create a false idea that it's taking more time than it actually should?
Jan 3, 2009. 4:33 PMjaxxster1 says:
ohh ok
Jan 2, 2009. 1:06 PMjaxxster1 says:
can i still get away with it even if the teachers are monitoring the computers???
