Remote Access Thru Router - 07/14/03 05:13 PM
Hi Guys,
I will try and word this properly so you don't misunderstand my intensions. I am an MCSE student and the class is on the win2k server portion of the course. My instructor offers 3 hacks of the server, each worth 10% bonus marks. The first was physical access, the second was remote with a default install and a weak pwd.
The third is renamed admin account, 11 character based password, hidden shares and a firewall/router. I was able to do the first 2 and i'm not sure what strategy to use in the 3rd attempt. I have read that trying to kill the FW or router is not a good idea because I would lose the connection at both ends of it. The Unix admin at the school suggested that maybe we could Telnet thru port 80. If that can be done, would PUTTY be the tool to use? Once I establish a connection, i know I can find the password and the shares. If anyone has any hints as to what might be a way to do this, or could point me to some text, i would really appreciate it. My final exam is Monday, a week from today and there is 2 of us working on it together to increase our chances.
Thanks!
