Reminds me of high school. We also had locked down computers, but one day I noticed that one of the programs on the system had a directory structure of hundreds, if not thousands, of executable plugins that needed run-access for the program to execute properly.

My hypothesis was that the IT guys were lazy and just unblocked anything in that directory. Even if a networked computer didn't have this program on it, you could just recreate the directory structure and drop any portable executable there and run it. Pretty soon we were all playing brood war in every free period.
