  1. Thanks everyone, is it normal to have a user named "Nobody" on your passwd file? sounds suspicious.. how can i delete that account?

    Im guessing sudo gedit /ect/passwd? then just delete the name line in gedit and save? or is there a better way? so the cat command is the same as useing the | command in the string? thanks for all your help! :)

  2. Ok, I am new to Linux and am useing Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

    I would like to learn how to use the CLI better.. can anyone help me out with what the command is to do these tasks? quick linux quiz!

    - How do I view the user list of created user accounts and passwords on my system.. I know i can type "who" to see whos on my pc at that moment, but would like to see all the user accounts listed.

    - what is the password. file for? user accounts on my linux pc? where is it ussually located?

    - what exactly is the cat command good for? i have googled and get mixed stuff

    - how do i empty my temporary files, or clean the cache (stuff simular to useing ccleaner in windows)

    - how do i update chkrootkit? i know since i installed it 2 weeks ago their has to be a way to update it right? simular to AVG or Avast antovirus updates? or even Clam AV, is that worth installing? and after installed how do i update stuff from the terminal screen, sudo apt-get update "program"?

    Im positive just by these questions you can tell im new to linux from windows, any help is appriciated. Thanks

  3. I just used apt-get from the ubuntu repos.

    ok, i tryed sudo apt-get install syncterm and could not find the package in the repository, then went to their main site syncterm.net and downloaded the "Current" Linux version of it, then un-Gzipped it and it says file can not be openned or ran.. any ideas? what command did you use in ubuntu to apt get it?

    is there alot of linux users on here that goto BBS? if so what do you use? i tried multiple bbs so i know its a problem on my side, i would not have a problem doing this in windows :P but im trying to learn linux better, thanks

  4. humm I followed the link and did not see a debian/ubuntu download link just windows and mac. I found a app called Qterm in the repositorys but it seems to be acting funny.. i add the bbs to the address book then when i click connect the program shuts :blink: I used to have a WWiV BBS along time ago, so this seems interesting

  5. I did a google search for (inurl:"ccna practice"+"torrent") and got a bunch of free stuff to practice and study with

    the best way i guess is to take some college courses in it, if you cant just read the ebooks and learn it. I myself can not just read a 1000 page ebook and understand everything. (mainly because i dont have the attention span to read a book thats 1000 pages or so) College course is best for me.. but everyone learns different. I guess you will have to figure out which way is the best for you to learn it. I am more of a kenetic learner.

    BTW in the google search remove the ( and )'s

  6. One of my fav boards is d1st.org

    telnet://d1st.org

    enjoy :)

    hello, I tried to logon to the BBS but it looks like my ubuntu terminal does not have ansi supported or something, the scrolling bar does not work, can not see all the buetiful BBS art.. how do i fix this?

    edit:: i was useing gnome-terminal i guess which does not support ansi, so i got putty term and seen all the ansi but the scroll bar does not work. Any ideas? thanks

  7. Where are the log files stored for Windows XP & Ubuntu, and what do they record by default? are they all .log extention? Any good links or tutorials on how logs are stored with eaither OS and how to read them? Any good special / secret tips or tricks on working with log files? thanks

  8. I use linux.. this worked for me (you may have to sudo apt-get install some of the programs like macchanger)

    1) airmon-ng stop ath0

    2) ifconfig wifi0 down

    3) macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0

    Note: You can change 00:11:22:33:44:55 to any mac you wish, if you have a client card you wish to fake enter that mac in to get around the A.P's mac filtering. But for the sake of having an easy to remember mac addy I always spoof it to the above. You can check that your mac has changed to the above by entering the following command into a new terminal window iwconfig

    4) ifconfig wifi0 up

    5) airmon-ng start wifi0

  9. Hooray! I finally cracked my first WEP..

    The data colomn does not seem to be the same as how many IV's were caputured..

    any idea how to see how many IV's were captured? Vector, I have read a bunch of threads and stuff about the aircrack-ng suite, but did not see anything on how to see how many IV's were captured.. I found screen shots i think from Backtrack were it shows the IV's captured, but im not useing backtrack im useing ubuntu hardy heron, i would like a IV capture view like this for example.. (if possible)

    airodump-13000IVs.gif

    Also is it possible to crack multiple WEP/WPA's at once? thanks for all your help.. im slowly learning

    (maybe i need to stop smoking so much pot) lol

  10. Ok, recently i have been learning about WEP cracking.. ive got airodump running and airplay useing chop chop attack. I have read that a 64 bit WEP encryption will need about 5000 IV's before i should stop the airodumping so I can crack it correctly. So i set up my router to 64bit wep to test and its been running for like 14 hours now, last time i ran it for 10hours and it only collected 1100 IV's ..

    My question is how do I tell how many IV's have been collected so far without stopping airodump? is there a special command i need to add to show how many have been collected so far? I will post a screen shot of what I have been doing so far..

    wific.th.png

    also should'nt it take less then a hour to crack a 64bit wep? should I be running multiple instances of aireplay-ng instead of just one? any help is appriciated thanks!

  11. Check out Airoscript - http://airoscript.aircrack-ng.org - it combines all of the aircrack-ng utilities into one very easy to use script. I'm pretty sure it comes with backtrack 3.x +

    Ok, yeah this seems like alot easier method. The only thing is when i try to run a command in airoscript is opens another window and that window closes instantly.. any ideas? Im guessing that is the window that is suppose to be doing the scan.. thanks

  12. dr0p, any advise for a ubuntu noob to configure conky? I installed it and found a thread with examples of a .conkyrc file, ect.. but got errors when i tried to install / run the new script. What programming language is that? Pseudo code?

    I also found this site to help customize yalls ubuntu / linux which helped me and may help other linux noobs

    http://gnome-look.org/

    and Mark Manching i see nothing wrong with that desktop looks pretty pimp lol

  13. Very nice.. I have been reading more about aireplay-ng and think I will have to use this method to crack my own WEP since there is no data going over my wireless network. I tried the aireplay-ng --help command and played around with diffrent options and such but cant seem to get it to work, I also tried both of the commands you helped me with and no luck. What is a basic command, or the break down of the cli command for it?..

    usage "usage: aireplay-ng <options> <replay interface>"

    (BTW It says I have Aireplay-ng 1.0 beta1, that cant be the newest version is it?, if not how do I update it?)

    so for example I put in sudo aireplay-ng then what.. I need to put in the mac address of both my AP im useing to access the Wifi router, and the wifi routers mac address along with a attack method such as -3 and at the end "wlan0" since that is how my pc reads the alfa ap?

    thanks again :-)

  14. Porn (something a kid should not be looking at) fir minors, after that you choose

    In 6th grade we used to have a class in school called sexual education. I seen a whole bunch of vaginas and cocks in the class. Dont think kids arent going to ever learn about the birds and the bees. Better to teach them how to protect them selfs from STD's and such then having a 16 year old pregnant daughter from some loser.

  15. You learned a lot about computers and hardware.

    You learned nothing about math, reading comprehension, english, science, writing skills, etc etc etc...,

    Which is more important for 99% of the population?

    No, I learned about the above said topics, im actully pretty good at everythiing said, except for math. I would rather be in that 1% of the population anyways, What are you one of the anti-computers for the youth people? Without the computer I received early on i would have probuly been alot worse at those subjects in school then I am now. Yeah!.. that would be pretty bad huh? hehe

    and like said above "Why does a 3 year old need a computer"? A good friend of mine has a 3 year old and she loves to play the Dora the explorer computer game. She even knows how to press the power button and start up the video game from the desktop to play! I know adults who dont know how to turn a computer on and run a video game.

  16. shit I learned alot trying to get my c64 game "Bards tale" to work.. with every error i got the more i learned. eventually i had my own h4x0r BBS system by 7-8th grade which was a ACiD and iCE ansi distro site back in the days, and was learning how to create networks, PBX systems, dail up protocols like Z-modem, modify my wwiv/obv/2 bbs system's C code to create the look i wanted for my board, set up voting systems for new members, ect..

    I learned tons of stuff by starting on pc's early. I see nothing wrong with it, but like I and others said above it would not be the greatest laptop prob some scrapper that can do the basics, if the kid is smart enough to get around the security protection and stuff more power to him. Thats a future hacker. The majority of the kids probuly wont take it that far though and just use it to go on the internet or study school work and play games, ect.. how the child uses the computer is mainly the parents responsibility to watch over them and make sure they use it properly. The school can also track it since it would be school property (the laptop) as a backup incase the kid has fucked up parents who dont give a shit. Could also put lojack in the pc.. see if they are skipping school or not ;-)

  17. Your airodump command is wrong.

    To start airodump to find all the available APs do (you got Kismet working, so you don't need this, because you can get all that info from there):

    airodump-ng --band bg wlan0

    To start capturing the IVs of the targeted AP in a file do:

    airodump-ng -i -c 6 --bssid 00:0F:66:47:1D:1F -w tocrack wlan0

    * -i collect only IVs, which are used for the cracking

    * -c 6 is the channel for the wireless network

    * --bssid 00:0F:66:47:1D:1F is the access point MAC address. This eliminate extraneous traffic.

    * -w capture is file name prefix for the file which will contain the IVs.

    * wlan0 is the interface name

    so pretty much the process is to crack my own wep is..

    use a program like kismet or something to get all the info i need like BSSID, ESSID, channel, mac address, ect..

    then use that info with airodump-ng to gather information from the packets that are being sent over the wifi network, then save it to a file

    use the saved file from above with aircrack-ng to get the passphrase or wep key to access my own wifi and bypass the wep?

    or am i missing a step in the process?

    thanks man you are a great help :-)
