Oh, yeah, my pendrive has a real basic password protection which is insanely easy to bypass, but again, I’m not all too great with code YET. Heavy penalty and currently, the attempts counter can be reset by just re-running the program. But, for those who are less competent than myself, you have 10 seconds, it forces a shutdown, then you have 90 seconds to workout how to abort a shutdown. Then you need to remove the start ups file named “shutdown.bat”, replace it or cancle it out with another file.

I did rip off some of that code(I was low on time when working on it, else I would have looked at another file to learn the syntax(I didn’t know the syntax for conditionals in batch files, so I coppied the code, edited a chunk of it)), but I edited it to work for myself, made it actually do something other than give a minute penalty before letting you continue guessing and had it access a hidden file on the pendrive. CMD can bypass easily, by tabbing to the folder PasswordProtected, you can get the password from CMD and you can just skip that limited tries by reloading the file.
The metaphorical footprints are coming… Just… In Ssslllooowww Mmmoootttiiiooonnn. They’ll catch up with y'all, though. Best place to start, is a place with compotition. Schools completely lack in competitiveness. That’s why my progress is 3 times that of the next best, even with their 2 years of bonus experience.
Oh, and any newbies reading this want a challenger, I’m up for it, anyone at my skill level that I can both work with and compete with would be nice to have… Even if I will be trying to leave them far behind and not giving time to catch up. Lend a hand, yes, slow myself down… No thanks.
