PoyBoy Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was just wondering what the likelyhood of C&A taking passwords and reporting them off to someone. Also, i would like to know about ethereal. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrytone Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Firstly, it's VERY unlikely. Mainly because someone would have noticed by now. And secondly, what would you like to know about ethereal? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spektormax Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 um, isn't cian&able open source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrytone Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 um, isn't cian&able open source? Don't think so :? This software is owned by Massimiliano Montoro ( mao@oxid.it ), you may not reverse engineer, disassemble or de-compile this software nor may you permit anyone else to do so.

spektormax Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 um, isn't cian&able open source? hum looked on thier site, no mention of a source, so I guess its not. Noobish question but couldn't soemone patencialy disasemble it? Like coundt one take the ASM and decompile it back to the c++. Sure it may not be the eaxt same soruce cuz leik many things equalt he same comand. example, ax=ax+1, ax=+, and ax++ all equal add ax 1 (I think). SO, couldn't someone run a disasemler, and using some parsign alagrith be liek if lien ="add ax 1" have that eqaul somthign in the soruce. Like I know diffrent compilers do it diffrently, but for the most part ASM is ASM right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually more cost-effective to just rebuild the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd probably be easier than decyphering your typing. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was just wondering what the likelyhood of C&A taking passwords and reporting them off to someone. Without context a password is useless. You'd need to know: - The service - The machine it's running on - The username that goes with - The password Without that all you can do with a password is make an educated guess what some of that person's other passwords would be. Still, if you want to be paranoid (and remember, being paranoid is a GOOD trait! As Spider Jerusalem says in one of the Transmetropolitan books: Paranoids are simply the people who have all the facts!) set up a firewall that logs all outbound connections. Or run Ethereal to see if there's any traffic coming from your box while C&A is active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0053 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 if you wanted to could'nt you reverse engineer cain and abil. and a question could you create a script in abel that moniters a nother computer on your network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 if you wanted to could'nt you reverse engineer cain and abil. Sure you can. You can reverse engineer anything. The only problem is that doing that is HARD, and takes a VERY long time. could you create a script in abel that moniters a nother computer on your network Never used it so can't help you there. Maybe some other kind soul could answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
