Someone who knows computer coding! How do I write this program?

Question

There is a computer that I am forced to work on that is on a network. I do not have administrator access, but would like administrator access for various reasons (it's not because I want to screw up the computer, it's more because the CRT monitors have a ridiculous refresh rate and I want to change it before my eyes fall out of my sockets and my brain turns upside down). I have tried making an administrator account using the following code:

"@echo off
net user hidden passwordhere /add
net localgroup Administrators hidden /add"

Unfortunately, since I am not an administrator, I do not have the permissions to perform this task. Neither do I have the permissions to install a program, but I have noticed that there is one place where I can. It is a webpage that my company hosts that allows you to download and install certain programs that us employees might need for work. I opened up the program in Notepad and I found the following permissions:

"











"

I am not familiar enough with code to write a program with these permissions that allow me to make a new account. Is that possible, and if so, what would the code be?

Answer 1

Chances are excellent that you cannot make any changes - just because you can see code doesn't mean you can change it.



If you can change it - you have put yourself and your job in jeopardy. Have you ever heard of cybercrime? This means jailtime.



Ask a system admin or whoever is admin to make changes for you. Otherwise you could find yourself without a job and in jail.

Answer 2

Why not just replace the CRT with an LCD or LED? Then the refresh rate will be irrelevant since they don't flicker.

Answer 3

If I were admin and I found that an employee had found and exploited a vulnerability, I'd be very annoyed.



Contact your sys admin, explain what you've found, explain your desired change.
