Hackers and ! and the real …
Posted on 17th February 2006 by TaggyHackers have always looked upon with appreciation.But wait ! did i tell who is the real hacker.
General opinion is someone who breaks in to computers gainintg access to criticalinformation on someone elses PC but letme tell you. This is only a misconception.
The people i mentioned above are technically called crackers. Why should i stress upon them being called crackers and not hackers. hackers are peolpe who sit up and write codes , People who build your softwares are called hackers, what many people would call as just programmers , haclers dont break in to your system. Infact people writing a anti virus solution are hackers.
Its an insult to the community as such when some dumb guy breaking in to a computer and gaining control of it is called a Hacker. Its a disgrace to the community as such .
Now coming to cracking. Its true its always fun :) breaking in to systems as far as u call yourself an ethical hacker andlimit your work to find solution to those flaws you are fine else Prison is fine too.
I see one of my friends has been goin around calling himself a hacker :O . Why does he call himslef a hacker ?.
He managed to break in to the Administrator login in our coll internet lab. It surprised us . It really did and when u find out its a windows server, a wry smile is already breaking into. Butwait iam not starting another debate on Windows Vs Linux .
How do u basically hack oops crack a linux machine ?
Well first thing that many people dont do is set a grub passwd . Incase you are wondering wha a grub is ! its the bootloader jus in case u know MBR inwindows.
So all u have to do is
- reboot the PC wait until the Grub starts loading. and press esc
- Press e It then leads you down to three menus and the second one is the boot option.
- U have to press the e again and when u see somethin like the
grub>rhgb quiet……. go to the end of that line and type in single and press enter - and then there u see ur in to the root shell jus type in passwd and there you go u can change the root (admin) passwd.
Next we move on to the windows ..
there is only step change the wallpaper often and your system says irecoveravle error.tata. :pSo guys :P i know this is real basic but somehow i was waiting for my frnd to comeonline she didnt:( so i thought y leave the readers in piece ;)
Well what about a webserver hack ? MYSQL crash :p PHP break thru ! Shell break through??
haa! all the stuff is here :)ask me :P
