  1. reading this thread makes me think of security vs capabilities. many, many school use thier time securing themselves from the outside world and literally ignore the users in thier own network. this isn't done out of laziness or stupidity. usually it is done because they want the kids/teachers to have as much flexiblity as possible. they inheritly give a lagre amount of trust to the users on thier own network because they have signed some type of usage agreement. on the other hand many schools and systems don't have the mony it takes to hire certified and knowledgeable people for each location. if your'e in a public school system this is usually the case. so if there is a part time tech person at the school that may not have professional training your not really proving much by sniffing around. on top of that if they do need to hire a more learned professional or an additional tech person for internal security that could keep an entire lab of computer from being replaced in the normal cycle. they could always and simply lock down all but allowed programs and straighten out the sharing security but at a trade off of useablity. try and think about how your hacking might effect the next generation.
  2. The only VoIP hacking I've seen is Irongeek's tut on listening in on phone calls with Cain & Abel. Check out his site at http://irongeek.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if you really want to capture voip traffic consider ethereal. it will capture, follow the stream and extract the conversation for you.
  3. a little confused here. i thought pwd returned path and that passwd changed password. you need to mount the drive as read write first. depending on the version of os X the passwd command may not work in single user mode. also if the mac is bound to a openldap network that is using the apple passsword server when a password is changed through the command line it just hoses the password and it must be changed again using workgroup manager this will occur even for local accounts unless disconnected from the network prior to boot. on top of that using the root to login to a local comuter still won't allow you to add a networked user account to the admin group. again you have to use workgroup manager and if it is 10.4 you need the seperate database admin account&pass. of course if you can gain access to the root account that is all you would ever need. i know none of this will help but this is interesting.
