100+ Hacking Tutorials

 In the following file, all references made to the name Unix, may also be

substituted to the Xenix operating system.

  Brief history:  Back in the early sixties, during the development of third

generation computers at MIT, a group of programmers studying the potential of

computers, discovered their ability of performing two or more tasks

simultaneously.  Bell Labs, taking notice of this discovery, provided funds for

their developmental scientists to investigate into this new frontier.  After

about 2 years of developmental research, they produced an operating system they

called "Unix".

  Sixties to Current:  During this time Bell Systems installed the Unix system

to provide their computer operators with the ability to multitask so that they

could become more productive, and efficient.  One of the systems they put on the

Unix system was called "Elmos".  Through Elmos many tasks (i.e.  billing,and

installation records) could be done by many people using the same mainframe.

  Note:  Cosmos is accessed through the Elmos system.

  Current:  Today, with the development of micro computers, such multitasking

can be achieved by a scaled down version of Unix (but just as powerful).

Microsoft,seeing this development, opted to develop their own Unix like system

for the IBM line of PC/XT's.  Their result they called Xenix (pronounced

zee-nicks).  Both Unix and Xenix can be easily installed on IBM PC's and offer

the same functions (just 2 different vendors).

  Note:  Due to the many different versions of Unix (Berkley Unix, Bell System

III, and System V the most popular) many commands following may/may not work.  I

have written them in System V routines.  Unix/Xenix operating systems will be

considered identical systems below.

  How to tell if/if not you are on a Unix system:  Unix systems are quite common

systems across the country.  Their security appears as such:

Login;     (or login;)

password:

  When hacking on a Unix system it is best to use lowercase because the Unix

system commands are all done in lower- case.

  Login; is a 1-8 character field.  It is usually the name (i.e.  joe or fred)

of the user, or initials (i.e.  j.jones or f.wilson).  Hints for login names can

be found trashing the location of the dial-up (use your CN/A to find where the

computer is).

  Password:  is a 1-8 character password assigned by the sysop or chosen by the

user.

      Common default logins

   --------------------------

   login;       Password:

   root         root,system,etc..

   sys          sys,system

   daemon       daemon

   uucp         uucp

   tty          tty

   test         test

   unix         unix

   bin          bin

   adm          adm

   who          who

   learn        learn

   uuhost       uuhost

   nuucp        nuucp

  If you guess a login name and you are not asked for a password, and have

accessed to the system, then you have what is known as a non-gifted account.  If

you guess a correct login and pass- word, then you have a user account.  And,

if you guess the root password, then you have a "super-user" account.  All Unix

systems have the following installed to their system:  root, sys, bin, daemon,

uucp, adm

  Once you are in the system, you will get a prompt.  Common prompts are:

$

%

#

  But can be just about anything the sysop or user wants it to be.

  Things to do when you are in:  Some of the commands that you may want to try

follow below:

  who is on (shows who is currently logged on the system.)

  write name (name is the person you wish to chat with)

  To exit chat mode try ctrl-D.

  EOT=End of Transfer.

  ls -a (list all files in current directory.)

  du -a (checks amount of memory your files use;disk usage)

  cd\name (name is the name of the sub-directory you choose)

  cd\ (brings your home directory to current use)

  cat name (name is a filename either a program or documentation your username

has written)

  Most Unix programs are written in the C language or Pascal since Unix is a

programmers' environment.

  One of the first things done on the system is print up or capture (in a

buffer) the file containing all user names and accounts.  This can be done by

doing the following command:

cat /etc/passwd

  If you are successful you will a list of all accounts on the system.  It

should look like this:

root:hvnsdcf:0:0:root dir:/:

joe:majdnfd:1:1:Joe Cool:/bin:/bin/joe

hal::1:2:Hal Smith:/bin:/bin/hal

  The "root" line tells the following info :

login name=root

hvnsdcf   = encrypted password

0         = user group number

0         = user number

root dir  = name of user

/         = root directory

  In the Joe login, the last part "/bin/joe " tells us which directory is his

home directory (joe) is.

  In the "hal" example the login name is followed by 2 colons, that means that

there is no password needed to get in using his name.

  Conclusion:  I hope that this file will help other novice Unix hackers obtain

access to the Unix/Xenix systems that they may find.  There is still wide growth

in the future of Unix, so I hope users will not abuse any systems (Unix or any

others) that they may happen across on their journey across the electronic

highways of America.  There is much more to be learned about the Unix system

that I have not covered.  They may be found by buying a book on the Unix System

(how I learned) or in the future I may write a part II to this........

                       Hacking Hotmail

                            Accounts

Type USER and then the victim´s username

c. Type PASS and then the guess a password

d. Repeat that until U have found the correct password. 

!. This is called brute force hacking and requires patience. 

It´s better than trying to guess the victims password on 

hotmail homepage only because it´s faster. 

____

I_2_I  - The Best way 

a. Get the username of the victim (It usually stands in the adress-field

)

b. Then type " www.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/start/victimsusername "

c. U´re in! 

!. This hack only work if U are on the same network or computer as the 

victim and if he don´t log out. 

____

I_3_I  - The old way 

a. Go to http://www.hotmail/proxy.html

b. Now type the victims username. (press login)

c. Look at the source code.

d. On the fifth row U should find "action=someadress"

e. Copy that adress and paste it into the adress-field

f. You are in... 

!. As you can see it´s a long procedure and the victim have 

plenty of time to log out. 

____

I_4_I  - Another... 

a. Go to hotmail´s homepage

b. Copy the source code.

c. Make a new html file with the same code but change method=post to

method=enter

d. "view" the page

e. Change the adress to www.hotmail.com/ (don´t press enter!)

f. Make the victim type in his username and password

g. Look in the adress-field. There you´ll see ...&password:something... 

!. This is the way I use, because it lets you know the password. 

(If he exits the browser U can see the password in the History folder!)

READ!

Hotmail´s sysops have changed the "system" so that the victim may log

out even

if U are inside his/her account. So don´t waste U´r time!

So you want to get some hotmail passwords?  

This is pretty easy to do once you have got the hang of it.  

If you are a beginner, I wouldn't make this your first attempt at 

hacking.  When you need to do is use a port surfer and surf over to 

port 80.  While there, you have to try and mail the user that you 

want the password from.  It is best to mail them using the words 

"We" and "Here at Hotmail..."  Most suckers fall for this and end 

up giving out their password.  There is another way to also, you can 

get an anon mailer, and forge the addres as staff@hotmail.com.  But 

you have to change the reply address to go to a different addres 

like user@host.com.  The person that you are trying to get the pass 

from MUST respond to that letter for the mail to be forwarded to you. 

Have text like "Please reply to this letter with the subject "PASSWORD"

and underneith please include your user name and password.  

If you have trouble Loging in withing the next few days, this is 

only because we are updating our mail servers but no need to worry, 

your mail will still be there.  Even though the server may be down 

for an hour.  From the staff at Hotmail, Thank You."
