After you use apr posioning from cain to sniff out usernames and passwords how do you decrypt the information you receive. On another note how do you figure out what encryption a website is using? Also, can someone tell me or guide me somewhere that explains certificates because when I sniff myself sites like gmail cause endless popups of invalid certificates.
When I sniff myself, people usually give me funny looks... :DQuote:

Why is it I get the distinct feeling that this gentleman will be getting a visit from a black helicopter?
Ifthen you must be communicating with them?................. not a good idea in these circumstances I would have thought? :shocked: the activity will be logged.Quote:

Ask the administrator? :DQuote:

Oh Well! :rolleyes:

What I would like to know...is how did the OP get 3 green dots on 1 post....
Specifically this one :rolleyes:
MLF
so how do i decrypt the information i receive when using apr poisoning?
Well one thing you could do is use the built in features from Cane & Abel to do what you desire. And if your unsure of how to do that then the built in help from the program and or the FAQ's from the Authors website might help.
Errrr, try doing a bit of research? Google is your friend.
You are at a University and one of the requirements of that, is to be able to find things out for yourself, independently, and without being spoon-fed.
I will give you a clue: look for an application called JTR as a starter.
Then look for "decryption tools" and see some of the others. There are loads of tutorials. Just start with one that you understand and realise that there is a learning curve here.
See if you can get your hands on a couple of obsolete machines as "targets" and set up your own small network for experimentation. At least then you have an environment where you control the parameters.
As I posted earlier, don't use tools like Cain & Abel on the internet until you really understand them. You should not be getting responses from external third party sites if you are just "sniffing yourself".............. you are actually drawing unwelcome attention to yourself.
ill jump on this boat...:confused:Quote:

there are so many tutorials and FAQ pages on this subject it will make your eyes bleed, start there!
Good Luck.
Do you usually do ip lookups on every new forum member? Thanks for your help though I have tried google and yes sifting through vast information available on the internet is kind of difficult to find exactly what I need.Quote:

Johntuan my man, There is a lot of good advice in this topic and links to reference that you obviously didn't read. Take the time to read each link and follow the given advice. It is all really good advice..... well...maybe not *all* the advice, but most of it!
And this is part of the reason that hackers have gotten a bad name. In the old days we were thrilled to find new tools and learn all the different ways to use them. I remember collecting every text phile that i could get my hands on. Sitting and reading through all of them, replicating what I had read until I understood the why of it all. Not now. Now all of them want someone to tell them what to do step by step, they don't even care why.
I need to comment on this post, everytime I read this comment I can't help but laugh out loud (LOL).Quote:

It is now December 2007, and you joined nearly three and a half years ago, before making your first post? And you seriously expect me not to do some basic checking?............... errrr.............. is that really your account, or did you just find it on a second user machine, for example? I wonder about your comment "new user"? :cool:
:cool:
I had no clue i had an account on here until i tried recently to register. But I think i vaguely recall that this forum is better than it was back then.
He never used the H-word. The term "hacking" is used to make computer related tasks seem exciting to children. And people who call themselves hackers do so because it sounds more hip than computer hobbyist or whatnot. In other words, having a interest in computers isn't good enought for them so they aspire to "be something" in return.Quote:

I don't have to point out the fact that you where holding yourself back all along. Anyone really interested in a subject would probably go straight to the most dry but detailed technical resource they could find as opposed to "philes". What you're saying seems highly counter-intuitive to what you're complaining about.Quote:

Implement the idea!
I'm sorry when I started out, hacker basically was just a term for someone that wanted to learn all they could about the inner workings of computers, their applications, and most anything else electronic (My neighbor was a great ham radio hacker but died a few years ago, he could cobble all kinds of stuff together). Perhaps for you it meant something else. I was unaware of some relationship to the titillation of children so will take your word for that as you may have more experience in that area. Also back then there wasn't all that many dry technical resources available at least to people in rural parts of the country. So downloading text files off of some BBS was about all we had. Many of those files were very informative. I am not sure how much I held myself back. I went to college took some CS course, that was back in the punch card days, learning Pascal, some Assembly and Lisp on a mainframe. I think my first computer then was an Atari 800XL. I am sure you and everyone else on here are much more knowledgeable than I am as I did not stay in that field professionally. I know the scene is a lot different now than it is today. No one wanted to steal anything or break anything. So the meaning of the word has changed for some people.Quote:

Yes, I can remember the days of 9,600 and 14,400 baud dial-up connections and BBSes:DQuote:

Another thing is that textbooks tend to be outdated even when they are first published. BBS and monthly enthusiasts' magazines were the only way to stay reasonably current, and find out what fellow enthusiasts were up to.
That isn't quite the definition I would use. The "hacker" already had above average knowledge and was capable of being innovative rather that just following textbook solutions. What some people describe as "thinking outside the box".Quote:

Sure, that means you are permanently in experimentation and learning mode. :)
Or, in my case: :dunce:
