Its online,cause it gets outlook express email,but the firewall keeps popping up,wanting a name and Id. |
for example, behind door #110 is a unicorn that knows how to talk to the gnomish postoffice and retrieve your emails. on the same note, behind door #80 is a unicorn that knows how to speak to the great spider goddess Lolth and retreive web pages. in the case of your company's firewall, door #80 has been padlocked from the outside and you don't have the key. now, there are two choices-- either get the key to unlock door #80, or find a way to use a unicorn behind a door that isn't locked to communicate with a Lolth. the first method would almost certainly involve an exchange of sexual favors with someone in the IT department, who is almost certainly dwarfish. not recommended, but workable if you have the stomach for it. the second method involves the stone of Proxys. if you can find someone who is willing, they can hang the stone of Proxys about the neck of the unicorn in THEIR room #80. this enables their unicorn to be in two rooms at once, for example room #80 and room #20801. now, if your door to room #20801 is unlocked, you can send your unicorn to their room #20801, and via the unicorn adorned with the stone of Proxys, who exists in both #20801 and #80 at the same time, communicate with Lolth. this is known as a proxy server. |
I can't stop laughing. |

by the way, the unicorn for secure web transactions is typically in room #443 |
Tomorrow they all get moved again. |
I tried to hack in last night,from various angles,but kept running into the damn firewalls. Do you mean someone from another computer,has to assist me? How can this be done,if I can't get online? As I'm somewhat short of stature,I haven't completely ruled out the dwarf thing. I have actually already given someone my cakes,in exchange for these passwords. Pineapple upside down cakes.He's one of our maintance men,and he knows the guy who has the codes,so he's gonna try and get them for me.But I don't want to have to depend on him. He may blackmail me for pastries,and make my life a living hell,constantly sweating away in the kitchen,to keep him shut up. How can I progress with the proxy thing? |
I have to pay our tech person chocolate for personal favors. I think that can be much cheaper. |
|
now that i think about it, these are server ports. requests out might be made on a different port? i don't know. you've reached the edge of my knowledge. |
|
Maybe pineapple man will come through for me, he's supossed to call me Fri night at work. So, pretty much, what you are telling me, is that without those secret codes, I won't be able to get online? |

I'm sure we're on the same network. I'm not sure who made the other work computer net accessible. How do I check the browser attributes? And how will this help me? There is no legit reason for me to have access to the internet that they will fall for. So I don't think thats a workable angle. I will continue will the social engineering. Maybe pineapple man will come through. |

Big titles for small minds. I used to create wonderfully long titles for myself when I worked as an accounting clerk doing collections. Eastern Regional Manager for Debt Collections is one I remember. I even told one customer his bill was about to celebrate its' first birthday. And, asked if he wanted to come to the party. He paid the bill shortly after that. |
|
That doesn't sound too hard. If I were Bill Gates! But,i'll check it out,and see what I can find. Put it into my what/where? New computer? Where? |
|
New guy got me on. Thank goodness I didn't have to participate in any midget sex. I was worried about their little bity undies,and how easy it might be to misplace them. Then I'd be responsible for replacing them,and they might be a custom item, and God knows where I'd find a midget undie maker. This is much better. |

it's an easy 3 step process with guaranteed results, trust me |
