|
||
[] []
|
||
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 1) Unauthorized Sysop Access: []
|
||
[] -THIS CAUSED BY A USER TYPING IN A PASSWORD THAT []
|
||
[] INVOLVES THE NUMBER ONE. (I.E. M1PQ, E1LH, P1TT, []
|
||
[] D1SK, ETC.). THESE USERS DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW YOUR []
|
||
[] PHONE NUMBER TO RECIEVE ACCESS. AFTER THEY RECIEVE []
|
||
[] THE PROMPT: 'INVALID PASSWORD', THEY HAVE GAINED []
|
||
[] THE ACCESS THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOUR PASSWORD. []
|
||
[] FROM HERE THEY SIMPLY TYPE IN ANY NAME THEY PREFER, []
|
||
[] AND FROM THERE THEY ENTER NONE FOR THE TELEPHONE []
|
||
[] NUMBER AND BANG, FREE SYSOP ACCESS. []
|
||
[] -IT IS CAUSED BECAUSE THE NETWORKS PROGRAM READS []
|
||
[] THE FILES AND LOADS THE FILES WHEN M1PQ, OR ANY []
|
||
[] OTHER PASSWORD IS ENTERED. NETWORKS DOESN'T CLEAR []
|
||
[] OUT THE VARIABLE JUST AS IT DOES WITH A NEW USER. []
|
||
[] -THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO ELIMINATE THIS: 1) MAKE THE []
|
||
[] USERS ENTER A VALID PHONE NUMBER, OR CLEAR THE []
|
||
[] VARIABLE OUT BEFORE ENTRY ONTO THE BOARD. 2) []
|
||
[] LOWER THE SYSOP ACCESS AND ONLY VALIDATE HIS []
|
||
[] ACCESS BEFORE HE IS GOING TO LOG ON THE BOARD. []
|
||
[] 3) JUST CLEAR THE VARIABLE OUT AFTER THE USER []
|
||
[] ENCOUNTERS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ERRORS BEFORE []
|
||
[] BEING LOGGED OFF. []
|
||
[] -THE WAY THAT I FEEL WOULD BEST SUIT OUR PURPOSE []
|
||
[] IS FORCING THE USER TO ENTER A PHONE NUMBER, []
|
||
[] THUS CAUSING HIM TO GO THROUGH THE NEW USER PROCESS []
|
||
[] AND CLEAR OUT THE VARIABLE. []
|
||
[] -I AM SURE THAT MOST OF YOU ARE SAYING TO YOUR- []
|
||
[] SELVES, "BIG DEAL" BECAUSE THE USER IS NOT []
|
||
[] VALIDATED. IT MAY BE A BIG DEAL ON SOME SYSTEMS []
|
||
[] BECAUSE THE USER(HACKER) MAY BE ABLE TO READ SOME []
|
||
[] MESSAGES THAT ARE MEANT FOR VALIDATED USERS ONLY, []
|
||
[] OR THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GET AN IDEA OF WHO IS ON []
|
||
[] THE SYSOP BLACKLIST, JUST FROM THE TITLES. []

||

|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 2)Crashing with the Library []
|
||
[] -ANOTHER WAY NETWORKS CAN BE CRASHED IS BY GOING []
|
||
[] TO THE LIBRARY OR THE 'G' SECTION AND TYPING ANY []
|
||
[] NUMBER THAT HAS A DECIMAL POINT IN IT. THAT DOES []
|
||
[] NOT EXCEED THE MAXIUM NUMBER OF THE MENU. (I.E. []
|
||
[] 1.2, 3.2, 4.1, 5.6, ETC.). THIS PROCEDURE WILL NOT []
|
||
[] DO ANY DAMAGE, UNLESS THEY TYPE: '1.SYS' AND WITH []
|
||
[] THIS AT HAND THEY CAN CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO TRY TO []
|
||
[] OPEN A FILE WHICH IS NOT THE PROPER ONE. FROM []
|
||
[] THERE IT MAY CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO GO INTO MONITOR []
|
||
[] AND WHICH AT THIS POINT, YOU ARE SCREWED. GETTING []
|
||
[] BACK ON TRACK, THE FILES WHICH INCLUDE DECIMALS []
|
||
[] IN THEM ARE WRITING ONE SECTOR TEXT FILES TO DISK. []
|
||
[] CONSIDERING THAT MOST BOARDS RUN ON TWO DRIVES THIS []
|
||
[] MAY FILL UP A DISK REAL FAST. []
|
||
[] -TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK []
|
||
[] AROUND 10440 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[][][][ ORACLE OF DELOS...................(312)/528-7017!][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 3)Crashing with E-Mail []
|
||
[] -THE 99E99 TRICK, (WHICH WILL WORK WITH 99E98, []
|
||
[] 99E97, ETC). WILL CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO GO INTO []
|
||
[] MONITOR IF IT IS DONE ENOUGH. THIS ONLY WORKS IN []
|
||
[] E-MAIL SO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM THERE. WHAT THE []
|
||
[] USER HAS TO DO FROM THE MAIN MENU IS THIS: []
|
||
[] SEND MAIL? Y []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] SEND TO (FIRST NAME): GARBAGE []
|
||
[] (LAST NAME): CAN []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] IS THIS CORRECT? Y []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] GARBAGE CANS LOCKER CONTAINS (0) []
|
||
[] LETTERS, SEND LETTER? Y []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] ->30 LINES MAX WITH WARNING ON LINE 4<- []
|
||
[] ->TO ENTER EDITOR TYPE (/EX)<- []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 1> ENTER GARBAGE HERE []
|
||
[] 2> /EX []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] -> S)END, F)IX, L)IST, A)PPEND. []
|
||
[] WHICH? S []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] MESSAGE SAVED. SEND MORE MAIL? 99E99 []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] SEND TO (FIRST NAME):KEEP []
|
||
[] (LAST NAME):DOING THIS []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] -BY THE USER DOING THIS ABOUT TEN TIMES IT WOULD []
|
||
[] EVENTUALLY GO INTO MONITOR. []
|
||
[] -THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY ADDING AN ONERR STATEMENT, []
|
||
[] BUT WATCH WHERE IT POINTS BECAUSE IF IT POINTS []
|
||
[] IN THE WRONG PLACE, IT MAY SCREW UP THE STACK []
|
||
[] THUS CAUSING THE USER TO GO INTO MONITOR. []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[][][][ ORACLE OF DELOS...................(312)/528-7017!][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 4)Crashing with Memory []
|
||
[] -FILLING YOUR FREE MEMORY IS ANOTHER POPULAR []
|
||
[] TECHNIQUE THAT COULD CAUSE YOUR BOARD SOME []
|
||
[] PROBLEMS. WHAT THE USER HAS TO DO IS GO INTO []
|
||
[] F>EEDBACK WITH THE 8O COLUMN SELECT MODE ON, []
|
||
[] AND LEAVING FEW OR NO BLANK LINES, FILL UP []
|
||
[] F>EEDBACK UNTIL THE MEMORY IS FULL AND IT THROWS []
|
||
[] HIM INTO MONITOR. AGAIN, THIS IS AVOIDED BY THE []
|
||
[] ONERR STATEMENT. IT CAN ALSO BE AVOIDED BY LIMIT- []
|
||
[] ING THE LENGTH OF YOUR NETWORKS PROGRAM. IN GENERAL []
|
||
[] THOSE WITH //e'S OR //+'S WITH 16K CARDS HAVE LITTLE []
|
||
[] WORRY. []

[][][][ ORACLE OF DELOS...................(312)/528-7017!][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 5)New User Crashing []
|
||
[] -ANOTHER WAY A USER CAN GO INTO MONITOR IS BY, []
|
||
[] LOGING IN AS A NEW USER, AND FOLLOWING ALL THE []
|
||
[] WAY THROUGH UNTIL PHONE NUMBER. AT THIS TIME TYPE []
|
||
[] AN 'O' AND DO THIS ABOUT 8 TIMES. IT WILL KEEP []
|
||
[] ASKING FOR A NAME SO JUST KEEP FEEDING IT GARBAGE. []
|
||
[] -TO AVOID THIS YOU COULD MAKE 'O' AN INVALID COMMAND []
|
||
[] AND FORCE THE USER TO TYPE THE FULL WORD 'OFF'. []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[][][][ ORACLE OF DELOS...................(312)/528-7017!][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 6)Deleting System Files []
|
||
[] -A USER CAN DELETE FILES BY INSERTING SPACES BEFORE []
|
||
[] A TITLE. THUS BY TYPING NW.USERS .SYS, THIS FILE []
|
||
[] FILE CAN DELETED JUST AS ANY OTHER. []
|
||
[] -THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY NOT ALLOWING SPACES BEFORE []
|
||
[] A TITLE. (OBVIOUSLY) []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[][][][ ORACLE OF DELOS...................(312)/528-7017!][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] NOTE: ONCE THE USER HAS PUT HIMSELF IN MONITOR, HE []
|
||
[] SIMPLY NEEDS TO TYPE A: ^C. []
|
||
[] []
|
||
[][][][ ORACLE OF DELOS...................(312)/528-7017!][][][]
|
||
[] []
|
||
[] 1)Tricks for fun []
|
||
[] -BY TYPING THE WORD 'OFF' NETWORKS WILL LOG A USER []
|
||
[] OFF ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE PROGRAM. WHETHER THE []
|
||
[] LOGOFF COMMAND HAS BEEN CHANGED OR NOT. []
|
||
[] -BY TYPING ^S ^N THE SERIAL NUMBER WILL BE DISPLAYED []
|
||
[] ON MOST NETWORK SYSTEMS. []
|
||
[] []

||
