AMuller: need help with FTP passwd
ok i am pretty sure i got the password file. whta i pulled out is this:
root:*:0:0::: bin:*:1:1::: operator:*:11:0::: ftp:*:14:50::: nobody:*:99:99:::
how do u decode this? and if u tell me a program name also please tell me HOW to use it.
-Thanks
P.S. I dont just want this decoded i wanna know how 2 do it
It's definitely a good idea to keep tabs on encryption-defeating technologies -- if someone is able to recover a root password from an /etc/passwd file like the above then we're *all* in serious trouble.
Cheers,
Cael
