HINTS and Tips for prac-hack adv

the stuff u need to know:

the basic idea of prac-hack is to get the ip addresses from the ip addresses option and try to break into these pc's.
this method of hacking is done over ftp. you will be required to log into the ftp port (21) and then locate the password
file, read the passwords (or crack the passwords) and log back into that pc as administrator.

some basic commands:
when u log in via ftp u will be faced a command prompt. type help to see the (limited) commands available to you
use 'disconnect' to disconnect from the computer

main tip: be sure to look at the default usernames/passwords file supplied with this program (it will be very useful)

tips for Easy IP:
this one is really easy.
what u need to know: you need to know how a unix system stores its passwords, and where this password file is located.
go to google and try to find out what the password file is called and which directory it is stored in.
commands to use:
ls - (list) displays files and folders in ur directory
pwd - present working directory show u what directory u are in
cwd - change working directory
cat [filename] - views the file (didnt implement this)
get [filename] downloads the file to your 'Dowloaded files' folder which can be accesessed from the main menu.
thats about it for the time being.

tips for medium ip:
have a search on the internet for switches on the ls command e.g. ls -l or ls -h etc.
have a look at what switch allows you to view hidden files (this will be used alot)
look up password shadowing on the internet
also, if ur trying to find the shadowed password file be sure to look in every directory (i wrote this program when my unix
knowledge wasnt that great, lol!)

tips for hard ip:
76.42.210.235 - In the game, this is my pc, it is protected by a firewall that only allows connections from a computer on its subnet 
(on its network)

hmmm, well, this is quite a hard one and very frustrating.
be sure to try all the username and password combos from the defaults file on every IP on the network, something is bound to happen!
when u get a new username/password, try it on every ip.
be sure to look in every directory, even ones u cant see.
look up the wingate server exploit that can be used. (it has something to with telnet [ip]:[port])
thats about it. it should help a little. if you need any help contact sepulchre2000@hotmail.com.
enjoy.
