- ok, here's the deal. i recently installed slackware (linux) on a new hard drive i 'aquired'
- (i won't tell you how) anyway, i installed linux on it, and after i boot it up, it prompted
- me for a login name. i typed 'root' and it let me on.
-
- well, since i'm used to linux, and i've installed it before, the first thing i did was type
- 'passwd <mypassword>'. "duh", you say, "what's your point?"
-
- my point is, slackware doesn't force you to have a password for root. big deal, eh? what client
- do most people use for irc? BitchX (and it's kick-ass, too)
-
- now, when you're root and you use bitchx, your default nick is 'root' (because that's who you are)
-
- "hurry up and get to the point" you're now saying. ok, when you first start bitchx, if your
- nickname is taken, it adds _ (underlines) after your nick. i'm sure you all know about the
- /whowas command (in every irc client that i know of).
-
- NOW FOR THE FUN PART
-
- to get free shells, you need three things.
-
- telnet
- time
- an irc client of your own
-
- here's what you do:
-
- logon to irc (irc.cs.cmu.edu, because it has to be effnet, but any effnet server will do) and
- type '/whowas root'
-
- if it gives you names, look at their ip address and it should be something like
- ~root@ip3902.ppp-29.death.com
- or somesuch. anyway, if they've used bitchx, their irc name was
- * I'm too lame to read BitchX.doc *
-
- now, telnet to their computer (it will be their ip address, eg ip3902.ppp-29.death.com) and try
- to login as 'root'
-
- if you're lucky, it won't prompt you for a password, and you're free to irc/ftp/http/telnet from
- their computer.
-
- if you can't login as root (aka, it asks for a password) try using the name of their system as
- the password (it's what is directly before Login:)
-
- if you can't get in, don't linger, just move on.
-
- try /whowas root_
- and /whowas root__
- and /whowas root___
-
- (all will turnup users who've irc'ed as root)

- A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR:
-
- i've just 'discovered' this a few nights ago (i'm sure it's nothing new) and i've gotten about
- eight different 'shell' accounts. but please, please, please DO NOT DELETE, FORMAT OR OTHERWISE
- HURT THE COMPUTER YOU'RE ON. the people that do that are the people that give hackers a bad name.
-
- but that doesn't mean you can't have fun with them. i uploaded "ZAP" (a program for linux that
- hides you on 'who') and started 'write'ing to them. it freaked them out. (i said shit like
- "god has forbidden you to join pre-teen sex rooms, this is your last warning")
-
- you get the idea
- note: i think this only works on slackware (the no password for root thing) but if you know any
- default password for redhat, etc, then please email us with your ideas (wri0t@hotmail.com)
