The thing is attempting to break into the accounts of individuals that you do not have access, rights or permission to is a violation of the law where the Hotmail servers reside.

And to answer your question, the only way, AFAIK at this time to break into a hotmail account, is through social engineering and/or proper trojan placement.
Could I ask how you found out this piece of information about his IP being banned from hotmail. I may have missed something here. I was wondering if possibly he had been doing a brute force on his own hotmail accounts. I mean if you don't own the hotmail server and you trying to learn how someone would get into your e-mail... maybe his IP was banned because he was hacking his own mail accounts that he created.

How else would You figure out how a person would do such a thing, sounds like he was expermentaling heheh

Like I said... I may have missed something here?
