A list of functioning offline downloads for all of the stuff on my website after it got blocked, as well as instructions for bypassing consorship and jailbreaking school computers in FCPS.
Warning
Sh1mmer works on FCPS chromebooks with the Ti50 version of the Pencil Bypass1 if you have a Ti50 board. View the writeup here
These hacks might not work on computers outside of FCPS because every district and/or county uses different software and hardware.
Shimboot works, PROBABLY with similar issues.
Most people at FCPS have been switched to chromebooks, which are much harder to jailbreak than to old Windows laptops.
G10 chromebooks (drawper) have cr50 chips, which the G11 ones (yavijo) have ti50, making it harder (if not impossible) to unenroll.
To prevent admin from finding out about your unenrollment, use fakemurk or murkmod (recommended) to fake enrollment. See the corresponding section below for more details.
To prevent most exploits being patched, you can downgrade both chrome version and kernver to something manageable.
Use KVS, with a full writeup and instructions available here: https://github.com/kxtzownsu/KVS
Get images from chrome100.dev
G11 Chromebook: nissa
G10 Chromebook: dedede

Use Rigtools to set GBB flags and fix shit on your chromebook

As of September 16th (2024 I think), sh1mmer with the tsunami bypass has been confirmed working with ChromeOS r128. This exploit allows for unenrollment and the ability to switch into developer mode, plus other things.
FCPS Chromebooks come in two models - HP Fortis G10 and G11. You can check this on the underside of the chromebook, which will usually be under the FCPS barcode (this varies from school to school).
G11 Chromebook: nissa
G10 Chromebook: dedede

Shimboot is an exploit based on sh1mmer that boots a linux distribution off a USB or a spoofed unenrolled chromeOS. It works because the rootfs of the shim (a recovery image) is not verified, meaning that it can be replaced with whatever else.
FCPS High School chromebooks (drawper) have NOT been tested with shimboot yet.
Full writeup is available here: https://github.com/catfoolyou/Block-Bypass/blob/main/shimboot.md
It is capable of unenrolling all devices with a Cr50 chip on the latest version, v130. It has a low chance of being patched without a release of a new Chromebook model.
Theoretically it should work on all FCPS chromebooks, and some people have actually used it successfully.
nissa chromebooks (the G11 ones) will PROBABLY not work. Don't come back here bitching about it.
Full writeup and instructions are here: https://br1ck.vercel.app/
It may be possible on unenrolled Chromebooks with developer mode enabled to run vpd—i RW_VPD -s check_enrollment=1 in VT2 to bypass policy and re-enroll. An exploit kit named Rigtoolsv2 also claims to have functionality called Riienrollment, which can also bypass enrollment policy set in the admin console.
To prevent admin from checking unenrollment via GAC (admin console) and finding unenrolled chromebooks, use FakeMurk or Murkmod.
Note that Fakemurk is UNMAINTAINED, so murkmod is recommended.
Murkmod REQUIRES devmode (set GBB flags to 0x8000, 0x8090, or 0x8091), though you probaby should have that enabled if you unenrolled.
Installation instructions are available here: https://github.com/rainestorme/murkmod/blob/main/docs/installation.md
BadRecovery unenrolls ALL devices that are EOL before 2024, and can unenroll current supported devices on kernel version 3 or lower.
Instructions are available here: (I am too lazy to make a proper writeup)

A random hole in chrome login that allows for unrestriced browsing (one tab only)
- Add an account to chrome or go to chrome://chrome-signin on a chromebook
- Enter
[email protected]as the email and complete the captcha/security check - Click sign-in options
- When prompted, click Sign in with Github
- Click on Docs
- Scroll to the bottom and click on Pricing
- In the search bar type "google"
- In the right sidebar click on
google.com - You now have a tab that is unaffected by any extensions

Based on the recent changes pushed by FCPS, the best way to bypass their restrictions is to BYOD.
You can also do this if you unenrolled your chromebook or flashed a Windows laptop (if you have one somehow)
To properly do BYOD, you probably shouldn't use the FCPS provided installer as your go-to option. Instead, use the wifi passwords in this repo to connect to their wifi directly (if that works). The certs that I managed to get my hands on may or may not work. Afaik it depends on the computer and/or the OS.
To use the installer, sign in a GUEST, NOT with your FCPS username. Download the certs manually and install as per the instructions provided. DO NOT use 2.2.2.2, use https://xprsscnctvm.fcps.edu/enroll/FairfaxCountyPublicSchools/Production/reset instead.
If you are bringing your own computer, you can do this to prevent sites being blocked
Explanation for dumbasses like me
FCPS no longer gives out windows laptops to everyone. The previously working methods have been patched on their course specific windows PCs and most likely on the personal windows laptops as well.
CS students are now given access to personal windows laptops instead of chromebooks, but again they will need to be flashed and have their BIOS passwords reset so as to reinstall the OS.
Windows PCs and laptops have a bundled installation of Java 17, located in C:/Program Files (x86)/jGRASP/bundled/java/bin/java.exe. This can be used to run modern Java software, including (but not limited to) Java based source ports of many older games. Look here instructions on running Java ports of Doom and Quake 2 (included as examples.)
The following script is linked as an example of setting up gradle to work with a bundled Java installation. The same repo contains modified build.gradle and gradle.properties for compiling Java applications with a bundled installation.
Again, use a proxy to access blocked websites. Be advised that games (and sometimes yt) are somewhat laggy over a proxy connection.
If catfoolyou.github.io is blocked, a mirror of my website is available here
The latest 1.5.2 and 1.8.8 offline clients are available for download, as well as Five Nights at Winston's.
Doom, Retal, Quake, Slope, Bananabread and all of the other games that must run in a web environment cannot be run locally. Might migrate my site soon.
Download platform_wx_full.zip, extract, go to the bin folder and run fullgame.bat +set basedir "Quake 2"
Download mochadoom.jar, get the IWADS and run java -jar mochadoom.jar -iwad file.wad replacing file.wad with your IWAD file

On chromebooks with Ti50 boards or all of them?? ↩
