Hello Everyone, I would like to know what has happened to the hacking world..
|
|||
|
|
Now it's basically dead, at least in most areas I know of. I hope to change
|
|||
|
|
that. Anyways, Here is some info on a relatively old system called IRIS
|
|||
|
|
or Interactive Realtime Information Service. This system was originally
|
|||
|
|
meant to run on older systems like PDP-8 and PDP-11. Due to the versatile
|
|||
|
|
nature of IRIS, today a lot more systems run it. IRIS systems usually can
|
|||
|
|
be reached at 1200 7E1 and after pressing either escape or enter a few times,
|
|||
|
|
you should see something like this as a greet:
|
|||
|
|
-=-
|
|||
|
|
Welcome to "IRIS" R9.1.3A timesharing !
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ACCOUNT ID ?
|
|||
|
|
-=-
|
|||
|
|
Or sometimes it will say what you have reached under the welcome line.
|
|||
|
|
IRIS is also extremely hacker-friendly as it will let you type account
|
|||
|
|
names for as long as you want. Also when you guess an account there are
|
|||
|
|
no passwords on them. At first you will not see what you type, to change
|
|||
|
|
this type control-E to turn the echo on. Try CAPSLOCK too
|
|||
|
|
-=-
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DEFAULT ACCOUNTS
|
|||
|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MANAGER (Good System Access)
|
|||
|
|
NO NAME (Normal User)
|
|||
|
|
DEMO (Try the other ones first)
|
|||
|
|
PDP8 / All General Accounts)
|
|||
|
|
PDP11 [
|
|||
|
|
SOFTWARE \
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hopefully you're in there with one of those accounts. Now, then you will
|
|||
|
|
get a # prompt. If you are on with an account of access level 3, then you
|
|||
|
|
will be able to use a user maintanence program, by typing either ACCOUNTS
|
|||
|
|
or ACCOUNT UTILITY. You should get:
|
|||
|
|
-=-
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(0) EXIT TO SYSTEM
|
|||
|
|
(1) ADD NEW ACCOUNT
|
|||
|
|
(2) MODIFY ACCOUNT
|
|||
|
|
(3) DELETE ACCOUNT
|
|||
|
|
(4) INQUIRE ACCOUNT
|
|||
|
|
(5) LIST THE ACCOUNTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ah, I wasn't able to create an account, but I did modify several. Basically
|
|||
|
|
this is pretty straightforward. Have fun with this...
|
|||
|
|
-=-
|
|||
|
|
OK, after you're done playing with the accounts and exit properly there are
|
|||
|
|
a lot of interesting things to do. On one particular system that I use often
|
|||
|
|
you have several utilities such as spreadsheets, word processors and even
|
|||
|
|
an ASM program. You can get a list of all the things to do by typing LIBR
|
|||
|
|
at the # prompt. most of the file names you type the response will be
|
|||
|
|
"NOT A PROCESSOR", Since most of the IRIS software was written is buisness
|
|||
|
|
BASIC. Type BASIC LOAD <filename>. Here are some of the most interesting
|
|||
|
|
programs...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PP or PORT ALL MONITOR will let you see who else is using the system.
|
|||
|
|
if for some reason you want to kick off a user, type PPP and then the user
|
|||
|
|
name. Also if you want to see your own status type PORT.STAT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you need help with something try typing GUIDE and it will give you
|
|||
|
|
a short menu of all the help files available. Too bad there usually isn't
|
|||
|
|
many.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another interesting utility to use is BLOCKCOPY, since I am not completely
|
|||
|
|
used to it, I will show you what the guide said:

INTERACTIVE PROGRAM GUIDE ON SETTING UP BLOCKCOPY
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
INTRODUCTION
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
BLOCKCOPY IS A STAND-ALONE UTILITY PROGRAM WHICH GIVES GREAT
|
|||
|
|
FLEXIBILITY IN COPYING ANY PART OF ONE DISC TO ANY PART OF
|
|||
|
|
ANOTHER, EVEN ONTO A DIFFERENT DISC CONTROLLER.
|
|||
|
|
BLOCKCOPY DOES NOT PROVIDE FAST PERFORMANCE, BUT IT CAN BE VERY
|
|||
|
|
USEFUL IN SPECIAL CASES. EXAMPLES:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) YOU CAN COPY A SINGLE LOGICAL UNIT FROM ONE PACK TO ANOTHER,
|
|||
|
|
WITHOUT OVERWRITING OTHER LOGICAL UNITS ALREADY ON THE
|
|||
|
|
DESTINATION.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) IF YOU HAVE BOTH LARGE STORAGE MODULES AND SMALLER CARTRIDGE
|
|||
|
|
DRIVES ON THE SAME SYSTEM, YOU CAN BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM LOGICAL
|
|||
|
|
UNIT 0 FROM STORAGE MODULE ONTO A CARTRIDGE PACK WHICH CAN
|
|||
|
|
BE SET ASIDE AS A DEDICATED SYSTEM BACKUP.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) IF YOU HAVE A SPECIAL SWAPPING DISC, IT CAN BE BACKED
|
|||
|
|
UP TO AND RESTORED FROM OTHER STORAGE MODULES.
|
|||
|
|

|||

|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
LIMITATIONS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE THAT WHILE YOU CAN COPY FROM ONE TYPE OF DISC CONTROLLER
|
|||
|
|
TO ANOTHER, THE RESULT MAY NOT BE INSTALLABLE UNDER
|
|||
|
|
IRIS BECAUSE OF SOME DISC ADDRESS CONSIDERATIONS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ALSO NOTE THAT YOU MAY NOT SPECIFY A DESTINATION WHICH
|
|||
|
|
PHYSICALLY OVERLAPS THE SOURCE ON THE SAME PACK.
|
|||
|
|
SETUP
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
FIRST, HAVE AT HAND YOUR R9.0 PERIPHERALS HANDBOOK.
|
|||
|
|
NOTICE THAT FOR EACH TYPE OF DISC, THERE IS A DIFFERENT VALUE
|
|||
|
|
FOR THE BZUD POINTER.
|
|||
|
|
ALSO NOTICE THAT IT GIVES YOU FORMULAS TO COMPUTE VALUES CALLED PHYU.
|
|||
|
|
FIND THE APPROPRIATE DISC SPECIFICATION SHEET(S) DESCRIBING
|
|||
|
|
YOUR SOURCE (WHERE YOU ARE COPYING BLOCKS FROM) AND YOUR
|
|||
|
|
DESTINATION (WHERE YOU ARE COPYING BLOCKS TO). THE SOURCE
|
|||
|
|
AND DESTINATION DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF CONTROLLER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PRESS RETURN WHEN READY TO GO ON
|

|
|
|

|
|
NOTE: ALL REQUESTED VALUES/CALCS IN OCTAL UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
|
|||
|
|
ALL VALUES ON DISC SPECIFICATION SHEETS ARE IN OCTAL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|

CONCULSION
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I hope this serves a useful purpose.. I still can't understand why IRIS is
|
|||
|
|
extremely easy to use, and very common.. yet, I haven't seen any good
|
|||
|
|
articles on it in a very long time.
