Moderator's Note:
This is a quite large Digest. I was away (camping) for the weekend,
and my
e-mail built up. I was away from my PC and the Internet for 3 whole
days,
so I was unable to produce a digest.

Trojan Horse Question
----------------------------------------
To: "'hh@happy-hacker.ml.org'" <hh@happy-hacker.ml.org>
Subject: [hh] win95 passwords via trojan horse (please do not post
return email address...)
I was reading a column in the august issue of Windows NT magazine that
said:
"Your Win95 password may be at risk if you log unattended Win95
computers on to your network. Hackers can obtain a user's network
password by programmatically examining the computer's memory.
Ordinarily, for such an attack to be possible, the hacker must have
physical access to the computer. However, from the Internet, a user can
unknowingly download a Trojan horse that scans for passwords. The
Trojan horse affects the logged-on user. Win95 encrypts password before
sending them over the network, but it temporarily stores the network
password for the logged on user in memory in an unencrypted state.
Microsoft confirmed this problem in Win95 and OEM Service Release 2
(OSR2). To address this problem, the company has released an update
that's available on Microsoft's website...." yadda yadda yadda.......
Question:
I know what a Trojan Horse does, but i'm not sure why it does what it
does.... my experience with them is very limited... (Theoretically, of
course..) how does one go about embedding a Trojan Horse in a
downloadable program? Is the information form the TH written to a log
file, which can be retrieved? Or, in the above instance, is that
password information transfered back via internet to the person
"inquiring"? And what's usually the most common way a TH is used? Is
it used in conjunction with a "real" program, but running the TH on the
side, out of view? Many questions... :)

Modifying Windows 95
----------------------------------------
From: sinewave <timmcg@airmail.net>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: modifying windows
Does anybody know how to really modify Windows' look and feel? Something
like changing the actual shapes of windows from having squared edges to
round ones, or animating the drop down menus as they appear, something
along those lines. How would you go about breaking down the kernel to
modify it in this way?
Thanks,

[Roger: Some changes can be made using a program called TweakUI. The
program
is available from Microsoft's web site. Look for something called
PowerToys. It
lets you tweak some of your user interface settings!]

Can u tell me if it is possible to link 2 home puters together through
the net. Me and a friend tried it, gave each other our ip address's,
tried ftp, tried finger prog's, but the only way we could link up
together was through IRC, but obviously couldn't check out what was on
each others machine, which was our main objective. I'm sure that it is
possible, but how to do it?
my friend works in IT but he still didn't have a clue.
any help would be kindly appreciated :-)
I have been through most of the GTMHH's before you refer me there.

pclockout

>pclockout? or is there a way of getting past the password?
gday, there's a few different ways of getting past PcLockout. And most
of them have to do with miss-configurations in the setup of it. (The
*teachers* don't know enough)
On boot up you can try pressing SHIFT and by-passing the startup files.
Then you'll find you can't type anything but the numberpad. You'll also
find that you can only press ENTER once before the machine appears to
lock itself.
Basically what you need to do is press ALT-### and type out the whole
command line you want to execute.
The mainfiles to pclockout are pcl.sys and pcl.exe (from memory)
btw. don't delete these files, i think that the machines stuff up when
you do.
There's an easier way to do things but,
if the machines are networked through windows, just share the C: of the
machine you want to get into and make it Read-Write (write is what we
need). Then get onto another machine and access the shared drive... you
can now copy files to the drive (i.e. overwrite config.sys so as it
doesn't load pcl.sys???). One drawback is that you can't delete files
from the shared drive.
if all else fails, use that lill' program called 'debug' and start
working out how ta alter pcl in memory. I've heard that you need only
write over 1 byte.
If if all else fails, befriend the admin (teacher) and ask for the
password... else run a keylogger and tell the teacher to change
something with the config.
Btw: there's also a pclockout main disk, I think that this needs a
password but. A thought of mine would be to make a linux bootdisk and
try to mount the MSDOS partition and then see if it's Read-writable...
That's about all I can think of. Except, make your school get a better
OS... I managed to sneak a copy of linux onto the server at school, and
no one can tell except it says "LILO" on bootup :)
Now that's over.
I have a question. At my latest educational institute I'm at, we are
installing/trialling Cytrix networking. It is installed on a 2xP6200
using NT 3.51 Service pack 5. does anyone know of any half decent
vunerabilities I could try on it...
the ports open are:
19 (chargen)-- already had fun with that, network chugged with a few
telnets open to it.
7 (echo) don't know what to try.
qotd -- lotsa fun (actually just a waste of class time)
daytime - pretty boring.
139 (netbios) - soon to try WinNuke (but I don't like my chances of
success.)
The network is connected to the inet, and has about 15 computers on it..
problems I have already found:
telnet to 127.1.1.1 19: can't close telnet window without ending
task (of which 90% of the students cant do)
opening many programs: crashes the server in 10 seconds flat.
3 trys and you're banned: keeping ppl from logging on (lame) by
entering bogus passwords (NT default crod)
also Cytrix WinFrame uses the local hdd to boot off... therefore
allowing for a login spoof, does anyone have one made, or have a .bmp of
the Cytrix background.

I want to print out large files concerning hacking, phreaking, etc.
(especially the Rainbow series) from the school library because my
printer is pathetically slow. All of the school computers are hooked up
to some kind of network which controls the printers. My question is if
anybody could monitor what I acutally print out? And would there be any
log file to alert them to do this if somebody printed out a 100 page
document?
Thanks for your time,

Legal Stuff
----------------------------------------
From: Merlin Kauffman <merlink@vnet.net>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: WinNuke
I was wondering what the punishment would be if you were caught for
WinNuking?? I know that it is against the law because it is a DOS
Attack
(Denial Of Service) and is not letting people have access to their
computers, or the internet. But then again, what are the chances of
getting caught, it is nearly impossible. Even if people do get the bug
fix, and it tells them the IP that is trying to Nuke them, the only
thing
they could do is e-mail root at that domain and hope something happens
to
the user. Most likely root wont even know who the user is, unless you
know
the exact time that the Nuking occured, and its not like root is even
gonna
give a flying F*CK about it. root wont wanna waste the time to look back
in
all of the logs of incoming connections, dial-up or telnet. If people
really want to avoid WinNuking and pingfloods, you might as well get a
real
OS like Linux, and then setup a firewall and be safe. If you dont want
Linux, then just get the bug fix for either Win95 or WinNT.

[Carolyn's Remark: Groan. This hits a sore point. Computer crime laws
are
rarely enforced. So kids discover they can get away with stuff, power
goes
to their heads, and pretty soon you have a Kevin Mitnick in jail for
many
years because he committed a long series of basically trivial crimes
which
eventually irritated too many of the wong people, most notably the New

Full Armor Tutorial
----------------------------------------
From: Dave Manges <dmanges@epower.net>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: HH
For all of those going up against a PC security program called "Full
Armor", I ran up against this program 8 months ago at school, they
attempted to prevent people from writing to the hard drive. It presented
itself as a challenge....for about 5 minutes.
To crack it.....
1. In the properties of the program it mentions the thread file (can't
remember the name of the file) it was something.vbx
2. Ok...this is easy enough, open notepad, open something.vbx
3. Just because I can't write to the hard drive doesn't mean I can't
edit something already there, delete the first character from the file.
4. The file (opened in notepad) looks like garbage, but if memory serves
the first letter was M.
5. Save the File and restart the computer, it should come up with an
error like "Unable to Initialize Full Armor".
6. Now you can go into add/remove programs and uninstall it.
Enjoy.....Dave

Also, before you transfer ANY file that isn't text, make sure you type
BINARY so the transfer comes through in a usable format. Also, the hash
command is nice, as it lets you know that the transfer is still in
progress and the computer hasn't hung.

FoolProof Facts...
----------------------------------------
From: dante <dante@suffer.tusculum.edu>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: HH
I just read a post on getting past fool-proof in win95, which was
accurate, but only to a degree. It wasn't very helpful, because it
lacked the details.
Ironically, my comp. science teacher asked me to show her exactly HOW I
managed to print the "the universe revoles around me" image I made to
all the network printers in the school. C'mon, it's my hs senior year,
and i wanted to leave a lasting impression.
So anyway, with her persmission, and watching closely behind me:
As far as i know, the newest fp software was the hardest to get by
because it was in the registry, and to edit the registry, and to hack it
in one sitting, you have to change the registry.
First thing to do, is reboot, hitting f8 when starting windown 95...
shows up.
Select safe mode command prompt.
edit autoexec and config.sys, remarking any reference to "fp", (should
be one device= in config.sys, and one fptsr.exe in autoexec)
After that, reboot again, and hit f8 again, this time, just selecting
safe mode. This bypasses the registry, which i accidentally found out.
At least it doesn't load the fp devices. Type in regedit at either a
command prompt or from the 'run' menu.
Search for 'fp' and delete any line that has any kind of resemblence to
foolproof or fpsetup.exe.
(Did you backup the registry so when yer done you can re-import it and
not get kicked out of school?)
save the registry, and reboot, this time, as normal.
Fool-proof should not show up whatsoever.
If your admin was smart enough to put in msdos.sys the nof8 thingy, i
forget what it is exactly, then you'll have to make a boot disk. If they
enabled c:, a: boot seqence then you'll have to edit the bios, and if
there is a password for admin on bios, then you'll have to open the
case, pull off the battery, and put it back on. But that's trivial
stuff at this point.
I just added drivers for all the network printers on this particular
computer and reprinted to each device. 10 minutes later i got a message
from the assistant principle to go see him.
We laughed.
Anyway, fp is a fairly simple hack, but with work, it could be more
secure. the hardest part it the deal wth the registry.
have fun.

Subject: hh - getting past foolproof2
A way to gain access to the control panel with foolproof is to:
Hit F3 to bing up the Find menu, then search for *.cpl in the
windows directory, all the files it finds are for the control
panel, just click on the one that says 'display.cpl' for Display
and so on and so fourth...

Ping Question
----------------------------------------
From: garsi <garsi@dcdu.com>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: 'HH' Another PING question, or few.
When a ping is sent to an IP address, is there a record of that ping on
that IP as a matter of course? And, if not, is there a way to record
the
origins of incoming pings? I have heard that pings can be used to
disable
other computers and that nasty trick should have a defense. Is there
one?
What kind of damage to hardware can a ping do?

More Network Stuff...

Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 23:30:47 +1000 (EST)
From: krazilek@anon.nymserver.com
Hi there,
ok...just a few things....
In the August 15 HH thingo a guy called Sitepu Orang said that he
changed the IP address on a machine and he couldn't browse the network
in network neighbourhood, i believe this is because nethood doesn't
support browsing outside the subnet mask, eg.
if you are on a LAN, and you IP was 192.168.0.1 with a ubnet mask of
255.255.255.0 then you would only be able to see computers in the same
subnet..192.168.0.*.
you changed your ip to something else...192.0.0.1 for example, you can
only access computers in 19w.168.0.* so you couldn't get to your old
computers..
There is still a tcp connection though so you can still ping it or
access a server running from it. (web/ftp/mail/news/gateway/etc..)
Also, could the ppl at HH tell me what sorta mail server they are
running, i noticed that it is off a dynamic ip address through monlith,
possibly not a dynip but i need a mail server for my computer...

Fortres101 Facts...
----------------------------------------From: Aaaaargh@aol.com
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: HH about Fortres 101My school just got a bunch of Win95 computers. They set up Fortres101
on all
of them for security. For those of you who don't know fortres (with 1
s) is
a security program for different versions of windows, it uses existing
windows and dos commands as well as a few programs of it's own, and puts
them
into a very user friendly, menu driven format. Win95 comes with IE 3.0
which, as we all know is full of holes, one of which can be used to get
around Fortres101. If you type a drive letter followed by a colon into
the
"adress" box of IE 3.0 then it will act as a shell and display the
contents
of that drive, it also allows you to navigate it without many
restrictions.
Some folders that are specifically locked by Fortres will remain
protected
but other files that were thought to be unnaccessable because of the
security
program can be accessed. For example I accessed Regedit without any
hassle
what so ever. I told the guy in charge of computers about the hole and
he
gave me a job :-) If anyone else has any info on Fortres101 please
either
post it to this list or E-mail me at Aaaaargh@aol.com.

Subject: HH: Re ICMP'dRe: Ping Attacks
ICMP :) There is no way to protect your self from that. ICMP Unreach is
used on IRC to kick you out, but usually a server is supposed to send
you
that. It's like can't contact the host so close the connection. So, one
way
to protect yourself from being kicked out of the IRC is
a) sit behind a firewall (unreach from other people doesn't work)
b) choose another server/port. for example on EFnet irc.nwlink.com seems
to
be unfloodable :)

THE QUESTION WAS:
From: xDeath <ashufelt@mhv.net>
Hello,
I have become aware of little wanna-be hackers going around to
IRC
EFnet servers and "smurfing" them (killing them with packets) and they
are not going to come back up.
I am sending this e-mail to ask why are these people stooping so
low to
remove an IRC server. What do they gain by doing so? I do not see that
they are doing it for any worthy cause, it seems they are just doing it
to get their "jollys" by preforming such a malicious act. I would like
to know if there is any way to prevent this so that the EFnet don't not
soon become non-existant. (effected and non-returning servers:
irc.texas.net and irc.gate.net)Sincerely,
xDeathANSWER:
Seems that some people just hate everything. I think it's the
whole
anarchy/rebelion thing. I'm not sure why they would want to take down
servers for good. Although you can make a server split (not to be
confused
with killing it). These people might be trying to split the server to
takeover a channel.
As far as EFnet going down, I don't think so. There is always
more
servers that want to link to EFnet. In fact, we just set up the
miami.fl
server here.
In any case, 2 out of every 3 "irc hackers" are total lamers.
So, don't
worry about it.THE QUESTION WAS:

Subject: Ping Attackshh I am currently being iCMP'd as I sit down to write this... I am off
of a Win95 machine, is there a fix for iCMP?ANSWER:
ICMPs or Nukes or whatever you want to call them are just lots
of big
pings really. There is no patch that I know of that can stop them
because
it's not a bug in any code, it's just ping packets. But that doesn't
mean
you can't protect yourself.
What you need is something called an ICMP Scanner to see who is
nuking
you. I recomend ICMP Watch 2.1 by Rhad Ware. You can get it at
http://www.7thsphere.com along with other stuff to help protect
yourself.Hope that helps

Help With Routers...

Subject: Re: [HH] HH - Question about ROUTING-- [ From: Dmitrij Holomjov * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --
Hello. I'd like to find out about ROUTING stuff.
Our educational institution has 12- 20 computers running Win 3.11 and
Dos.
The server is Novell for 25 Users . One day we decided to set up an
internet
and we have to install a ROUTER. I wonder what Os and Software we have
to
Install on the ROUTER? I work with Linux and i know that it supports
some
kinda routing stuff. So I'd appreciate any information about routing on
mashines for Internet.P.s I think that we will use Dial Up for connecting to the I-NET.
Thanx alot

Mini-Linux Difficulties
----------------------------------------From: Shade <shade@tir.com>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: MiniLinuxRecently I went and downloaded minilinux to install on my 486. But it
just won't work... It has no strange readings at startup until it gets
to the following line:
VMS:Mounted Root
And then is freezes, and won't move.
Heres the stats on the computer I'm trying to install it on.486DX - ~133mhz
350Meg Total Harddrive - 30-40Megs left after minilinux install.
Modem 28.8 on Com1
Running - DOS 6.22 & Win3.1I've looked through the rc.s files and can't really see anything wrong
there, but doesn't this problem take effect before it gets to the
initialization files? I'm really a complete newbie to linux and thats
why I've been trying to find an answer, so I can learn the system.Well, I've floated this question around the Happy Hacker Chat List for a
while now, and noone seems to know what the problem is. I hope I can
find the answer here. Thanx.----------------------------------------

----WOO WOO (I think?)----
I finally got Linux installed on my computer. Now all I need to know is
where to go now. What do I need to setup and how do I connect to the
Internet and other computers? Also, if there is anyone in San Angelo
that
would be willing to take a newbie under their wing, I would appreciate
it.
Thanx,

These are also located as a part of all Linux distributions. You can
find them at
/usr/doc/faq/howto. Some of them are VERY informational! I acutally
learned how to

Partitioning Using FIPS
----------------------------------------From: Chris Steketee <spook@recorder.ca>
To: hh@happy-hacker.ml.org
Subject: HH Linux installation questionGood day,
I just spent the last 2 days learnign about the probelms and
installation
processes involving Linux (Slackware) I had a similar problem to yours
where i didn't want to wipe out the info I already had on my HD by
partitioning it. (Needless to say I found out after erasing all of my
data
and the 70MB download of Slackware) that there is a program that runs
under
DOS called fips.exe that will let you move things around within your
existing partition without deleting it and create a partition for
Linux.
There was also a way to install Linux in an MS-DOS directory and have
it
work but other thatn that I haven't seen any usefull info on it.Ciao
Chris

P.S. Try sunsite.unc.edu (in the pub/distributions/slackware/slakwar/)
dir
for tons of information on how to install and run Linux
