Notes on hacking Internal protection
1 of 4: As you already know, there are two internal security systems that prevent you from modifying and deleting files and records. The Proxy and the Firewall systems.
2 of 4: Though they can be bypassed separately, you will do well to remember that you may Disable the protection from within the server -- if they do not have an active Proxy, that is.
3 of 4: Thus you will only need to bypass the Proxy system and then turn off both the Proxy and the Firewall (and the Monitor, should you wish it ;).
4 of 4: Also note that some systems do not allow for security changes. No Mainframe will even have the "Security" menu as their very nature requires full-time Proxy and Firewall servers.
