Best Buy
« on: January 19, 2009, 02:22:32 PM »
Some friends of mine and I were bored yesterday, so we went and bummed around at the local strip mall.  Nothing to exciting for a while.  Light saber duels in target, walking around talking in loud British accents about how fat and stupid Americans were, and taking as many carts as we could and moving them to jam aisles.  Nothing even remotely cool happened.  NOT ONE TARGET EMPLOYEE TALKED TO US!!!  We decided to see how far we could take this, and ended up sitting in the break room.  Finally someone asked us what we were doing.  I mumbled some crap about finding the restrooms and we left the store. 

Having had all the fun(read bored out of our minds)we could with this section of the strip, we decided to walk in to best buy.  We did pretty much the same thing, harassing customers and the like.  We got to the computer section, and I wrote a script on one of the desktops that repeatedly opened and closed the cd tray.  Boring. 

Finally, we found something entertaining.  As I was walking past the laptops, I noticed that they were connected to the internet.  I looked more carefully and I found that they were all on the same wireless network, all operating under the same user name, 'Experience'.  I pulled up a command prompt, and typed net view.  I was rewarded with a list of all the computers on the network.  I tried mounting one as a drive, and it worked!!  I immediately started using taskkill to kill processes on the different laptops.  I ran it with the filter option to start killing every process with a PID less than 9999999999999999.  This initiated a blue screen.  I figured out the naming convention that they used, and started killing laptops whenever a customer would look at them.  Quite entertaining to watch a customer discover that every laptop they touch dies. 

Finally one of the best buy employees caught on.  I got careless and killed a laptop while he was looking at it.  He noticed that first the demo app, then the desktop, then the computer died.  I minimized the command prompt and walked over to get my friend and show him what I was doing.  As we were walking back we saw two employee's hunched over the computer I had been using, trying to figure out what had happened.  I figured that turning around and avoiding them would be more suspicious than walking right past them, so we kept on going.  One of the Men in Blue tapped the other on the shoulder and pointed at us as we walked by.  I started down an aisle and we left the store quickly.  As we were exiting, I looked back to see some of the employee's walking quickly in our direction. 

tl;dr:  Best buy is fun if you know what your doing.

Sounds like fun.  I wish I knew what I was doing.  The best I can do is scroll "THIS LAPTOP IS $200 CHEAPER AT WAL-MART!" on the screen saver.

it was quite the experience...  I want to write a script to do this and shut off every computer on the network.  I'm not sure quite how to implement that though.  Any ideas?

Does the Geek Squad not secure their network?

Didnt matter.  All the computers were already ON the network with the same username/pass.  All i had to do was run a few commands.

Did the Geek Squad have any idea? Better avoid that location for a while, they might call the cops if they recognize you.

Call the cops for what?  What can they do?

I'll let the window down if you update prehack more regularly.

could you post some of those scripts? we could make a best buy pwning kit that you can throw on a thumb drive for retail terror.

Since I dont have a working script yet, I'll post the commands I used.  Should make life easier for those of you more linux oriented types.  Also, if you wanna write a script that does this faster, you may be much better at it than I.

In vista, easiest thing is to type 'cmd' in the search box and hit enter.

To see the list of computers on the network:
Code: [Select]
net view

To see the list of running tasks on said computers:
Code: [Select]
tasklist /s \\computer_name

To kill a task:
Code: [Select]
taskkill /s \\computer_name /IM processname.exe
A few fun ones are explorer.exe which kills the desktop, desktop.exe which kills the little app they have up that says back to demo, and CTF_KioskApp.exe which is the actual demo app that runs.

To bluescreen:
Code: [Select]
taskkill /s \\computer_name /f /fi "PID lt 99999999999999"
alternatly:
Code: [Select]
taskkill /s \\computer_name /f /fi "PID gt 0"
will work on some computers.

Remote shutdowns dont work with vista.  The only way you can make a message appear on the desktop is with a vbs script.  You can also mount a network drive and fill the desktop with garbage. 

Try not to destroy anything.
