Hey, im sorta a real n00bie so im sorry if this sounds like a really stupid question. I have two computers, i use one for testing crap and this one for normal stuff. I was wondering what its possible to do to my other computer from this one since i know the IP address? can i access its files? Im really sorry but i really dont know much about computer security...im trying to learn and i would appriciate your feedback :) thx
You can do anything you want if you find the exploits. Or you could just set up file sharing on the remote comuter and it would be a lot easier to look at the files....
I apoligize again for being a newbie but what do exploits do? do u mean like downloadable files that mess up the computer? sry :( i really dont know much...thx for the feedback
exploits are ways to manipulate flaws in a computers security....don't ask
please allow me to point you in the right direction...

just curious but does anyone know where i can get information on an *exploit* that isnt really too bad that i could try on my other computer...just wondering if i can get it to work...thx
Go to google and type in exploits in <your OS> and hit search. Should get enough to keep you busy for a while.
If you really don't know what to do try out the 'net' commands (net /?) from a dos prompt, assuming u use MS-OS
after you are comfartable with this try making the other comp a server, wheter linux or NT.
After this you will know much more.
be careful playing with things you don't understand. You could cause more damage then you know. And you may end up messing up your real computer by accident...
What can you do when you have their ip address? ....PING_THEM_!!! Real leet huh? Well actually it is depending on what type of work your trying to accomplish. But if your just looking for 'exploits' then you simply need to find some limp computer running too many programs that access the internet at once. Usually it helps if you have an arsenal of regular (when I mean this, I mean not those crap-fancy programs that make you look real bitchin just for doing something that can be accomplished through MS-DOS) to muck around with.
Or maybe there's just a hole in Windows itself (bummer, I know). For instance the infamous NetBIOS in Windows (port 129 I beleive). But like written above, simply Google it. :)
exlpl0its are just scripts or programs that show a flaw in a system
just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback, dont think im going to try anything tho, dont really understand much..:p if anyone has too much time on there hands u can teach me more about computer security :)
This whole site is designed for just that... Look around, and, in the words of the Witches in Macbeth:Quote:
teach me more about computer security
1 Witch: Speak!
2 Witch: Demand!
3 Witch: We'll answer!
But before you ask, search Google and search the forums for past posts asking the same/similar thing.
By the way, NetBIOS is port 139, and can be used if File & Printer sharing is enabled (as is default on Windows) for numerous exploits, and if any drives are shared you can browse files from remote computers. There's also the infamous WinNuke which uses Port 139. As I said, Google can tell you everything you could possibly want to know, and usually a hell of a lot more you didn't want to know!
snort is a good ids, and nessus is a good security scanner, use 'em!
If anyone tells me that they are security gods, then they're lying. You're always learning. New things get invented every day. New exploits are discovered every day, etc, etc, etc.
No one is a security god. No one knows nothing. Everybody is always learning. Period.
