I always use social engineering in my cracks works very good!
I am not exactly sure of what your looking for? I have been smoking 420 so I AM a pretty wooee (I used one similar to this.)
Lets say you find a [email protected] this is a top salesmen who in the company has high level access to the network...
You send this e-mail to mick
"Hello Mr. Palmer,
The computer department has decided thats it's neccessary to issue new passwords today. Please take a moment now to enter the following command:
SetPassword U22L5
Then press the enter key. Please do not write this password down. For security reasons, we must ask that you memorize it. Thank you for your cooperation.
Andy Johnson, System Administrator
Then you try the password later in the night. You get onto the system and now have powerful system privileges.
Social Engineering is the single most effective security penetration technique of all. You can put a computer inside a sealed room with 10 foot thick concrete walls, but if an student, or and employee who knows the logon sequence is chatty, lonely, or pliable, 50 foot walls won't secure thye system. Security is made up of a chain of connected elements: firewalls passwords shredders alarm systems secure rooms etc... But the old adage applies: The security chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. And all too often that weak link is a person.
