############################# # NEWBIE HACKERS LESSON ONE # ############################# BY: Tech Cougar TechCougar@yahoo.com Member of Nertw0rk Rulers This is a lesson for new Hackers. Now please don't take this text as "I hack into systems." NO, I don't think it's right to break into systems, but I like to spread the knowledge. (1) First, I'll teach you about UNIX which many Corporations use. To identify a UNIX operating system it will welcome you with: login: password: Now you put in defult logins. Here are some: LOGIN PASSWORD ----------------- root root sys sys daemon daemon uucp uucp tty tty test test unix unix bin bin adm adm admin admin who who learn learn uuhost uuhost nuucp nuucp finger finger games games user user (2) Once you gain access it will give you a prompt. Here are some examples. $ > % # (Means you have root) (3) Now you can enter some commands. But first get the password file. Type in the command cat /etc/passwd This will get the password file. Once you have the password file then crack the encrypted passwords. If there is a token (* ! X) then the admin has shadowed the passwords and you can't crack it from that file. You have to find the password file with the encrypted passwords. Just give the command: locate shadow This will sometimes give you the password file with the encrypted password. (4) Now after you have access here are some commands you can do. cd................Change Directory cp................Copy File(s) cat...............Print Out A File Onto The Screen mv................Move File(s) mkdir.............Make A Directory locate............Find A File(s) ed................Editor vi................Editor ls -a.............List ALL Files (5) So now just explore. Don't mess anything up. Don't spread virues and emailbomb people. Don't delete files or modify files. So listen to my motto. "EXPLORE, NOT DESTROY" Okay. That's my lesson for now. Look for a new Newbie Hackers Lesson next month. ---------------Tech Cougar-----------------
