CC3 Flaw's on wikipedia...!

Postby TJ_2k7 » Thu Nov 29, 2007 5:29 pm

I found something strange on Wikipedia about Rm

Security on RMs systems has always been a hot topic, flaws are often found, and stem mostly from RMs software, however network setup is also partially to blame. This makes School networks extremely vulnerable even to this day, RM networks are extremely easy to penetrate. Since the release of RMs community connect 3.1 network there have been large security holes. In 3.1 you were able to gain access to the network from the login screen without logging on, through a help file. 95&98 holes included easy registry editing from a standard user, local administrator rights via registry settings and default accounts and passwords. In XP there is also a security vulnerability in the programming of the most recent program RM tutor 3, which could enable students to access this program by simply clicking with the right mouse on a video file from a memory stick or another external source. Students will then have full administrative privileges - giving access to view and delete others users work. It would then also allow remote login, shutdown or log off of any users on the computers on the network.

the help file was set up to help new students or teachers logon, unfortunetley there was a hole in it, on one of the help pages there was a demonstration on windows media player on how to do something, it needed to access the player, so it logged onto the user that created the help file, in this case it was an RM Technician's account. we soon deleted the help file off the logon screen. SORRY

the arrow pointing down on the top left hand corner of the logon screen say: Shutdown, etc.
It used to say: help in some schools and: Show help in others, but its gone now

There is a comment on wikipeida right now that says:

Wikipedia wrote:RM staff frequently change things on wikipedia...


*Note I think that it has been changed by RM staff because, that bit is not there anymore :!: :!:
But it also says
Wikipedia wrote:
Desktop systems tend to be over priced and of low physical quality in comparison to industry standard boxes, however RM have attempted to combat this with the RM One, which according to their literature is 'tough' and designed by 'the teachers, technicians and network managers', but is a similar price to other computers found on the market
