I have a challenge for you. Its a different type of hacker. Learn to create. Think of the software you use, and how popular some of it is. You could create something like that. Better yet, you could take those many pieces of software that you have ideas for features, and add those features YOURSELVES. Think of the last person to hack his friend, break into e-mail, deface a website, etc. They maybe got an article on some obscure website about it, or maybe even a nice jail term. Its pointless. The rewards for being a "white hat" are far greater. Ex. Google for "Kevin Mitnick" (whom was largely a grey hat that had an ability to social engineer) and you will see ~60,000 hits. He is currently in debt and spent a few years in jail. Now look for "Linus Torvalds", a well respected hacker, creator of Linux, a revolutionary, w/o a jail term or debt. He gets ~800,000 hits. Not only will people respect you, but when you actually mature later on, you can look at what you have been doing/learning since day one, and hold a high respect for yourselves. This is a different type of hacker. The type of hacker that I am no where near... yet. The type of hacker that contributes and creates to a community. Encouraging information insemination, open source alternative, and pushing new possibilities. References: To be something, you must first understand what that 'something' is....

if you just look in this same forum you will see at least 3 topics with the word "Telnet" in big bold [censored] letters. Geez, I wonder whats in there? No [censored] way in hell it's anything to do with how to use telnet. | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7 | i would just like to say thank you to jonconley for poting this. probably one of the most useful threads ive seen in my 2 1/2 hours of membership here. i especially like it because i despise all the little kids that think that they are 1337 just cause they can download a program and send it, or because they can get a trainer and screw with games like diablo. so to all you kids who think you good, learn some C, and make your mark on society

But really it all depends on the type of access you have to his machine, local, are you on a LAN with him? Just trick him, social engineering works wonders. | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,146 Likes: 1 UGN News Staff | UGN News Staff Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,146 Likes: 1 | Just ask your brother for the files, Tell him its for college and you really need it. I Bet if you ask him nicely, he will give you the files.
If you have another computer, use that one to get access to the one were your files are. Use known exploits in Windows XP (theres a lot). Or Exploits in the programs he uses on that computer.
But i think asking him will do the trick = ) Or do what Sinetific said = ). Good artists copy, great artists steal.

And if I'm supposed to learn by asking, I think that's what I'm doing?!!!

Try to retrieve local passwords (PWL file). Use the WM_TIMER message Handler expoit (search google). There are thousands and i mean thousands of exploits that can give you the admin access.
Go to securityfocus, they have a VAST amount of expoits and papers.
You have to do your own research Good artists copy, great artists steal.

Cos if it is, when I load into Safe Mode it just comes up with the same logon screen. I'll try it anyway, and see what happens. Thanks again.

You ain't supposed to learn by asking. You need to learn, read and figure it out y ourself That's the way it goes. Bu NO kids nowdays are ways to stupid and lame for that? "But i did use google", bah searching for 5 seconds doesn't count. Those kids now don't have time to learn, they just want to leech warez all day long. By books, start reading, try it all out, make mistakes, learn from those. That's how to be a "hacker".

That's not what a hacker is at all, and there are plenty of the sort of people you're talking about out there. They're called programmers or coders. They work for software companies, write shareware or freeware, and may or may not do real hacking on the side. Any good hacker, will be able to do these things it's true, but they don't make the person a hacker. A hacker is a person who hacks, for whatever purpose that may be. They don't build or create anything; at least not using hacking skills.
And don't even get me started on the whole white hat/black hat load of bs.
Good sites, btw, but hacking isn't one of those things you can teach someone on a bbs forum board. It takes work, dedication, knowledge, and plenty of time. If you don't have those things welcome to the Black Pit of Script Kiddism boys 'n girls! It's not a magic bullet, and it's not a skill you can learn over night, so be prepared to fork over a lot of time and effort, or quit bugging people with boards like "i w@an 1urn h@XoR1111! Cn u t3@ch meh1111!!?"

If it is actually your account go to the "Forgotten Password" page...

-Picasso | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 22 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 22 | I think that people seem to have this misconception about what Hacking really is. In it's Media label it is someone who is 'evil' and malicious. But if you look at the actual definition, it is "an enthusiastic and skillful computer programmer and user. a person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data." Now lets look at the definition of a "Cracker", it is one who gains illegal access to a computer with the intent of doing malice. It was made to make a distinction in what the Hacker does and what others who deface the name "Hacker" do. Unfortunately the media would have a tough time using Cracker because people are dumb and would think it was a racial slur or something. So get it strait all you "I am hacker." people who download some app from the net, which btw is probably full of backdoors, you are not a hacker if all you want to do is malice, doom and destruction to the net. Those of us who want to make life better, we are the hackers. And for gods sakes, learn how to code, wait better yet don't, that way i will have little competition in the job market :-)

The only difference between them is that they all made their own hardware with the exception of Mr Gates. Also Rob Pike (with AT&T), the co-creator of UNIX, on which quite a few operating systems are varients of, or have their roots in.
Note that the richest one didnt make his own hardware and instead got paid to let his product sell as an ecompaniment to an allready existing Hardware manufacturer. Also, note that the core of the new MacOS X is straight Berkeley Unix, and Linux as a very closely related to Unix.

Rob Pike, well known for his appearances on ``Late Night with David Letterman'', is also a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, where he has been since 1980, the same year he won the Olympic silver medal in Archery. In 1981 he wrote the first bitmap window system for Unix systems, and has since written ten more. Source UNIX� (or Unix) is a portable, multi-task and multi-user computer operating system originally developed by a group of AT&T Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and Douglas McIlroy. Wikipedia Not to be Nit picky but even though Mr. Pike is a prolific programmer, he was not a co-creator of UNIX, he just wrote stuff for it. See UNIX was created in 1970 and Mr. Pike did not work at Bell Labs until 1980. If you are going to post in a topic that is on a sticky make sure your facts are straight.
