Actually what you meant by a hacker is not 100% correct. What you meant is
crackin' (one kinda) ;-)
Last year arround Oct-Nov one fine mornin' I was playin' with Telnet. I was
experimentin' on cal2 server of VSNL. As it is it was hackneyed. Then I
tried FTP on cal2, which I never did. I got root access. I came out without
any exploytation. Then after I did the same thing for 'bout 10 times for 2-3
months. After that one day I along with my friends got a System Privilage
saying VSNL is closin' all its shell accounts with telnet access. I don't
know whether it was corelated but the fact is VSNL didn't check its Log for
for at least 3 months. I've NT & *nix Pass Crackin' utilities, with the
help of that I can get the passes. I was ashamed thinkin' our leadin' ISP's
system config was so poor. I did the same thin' with many other servers.
I did everythin' for curiosity, fun & for knowledge. I don't have any other
intentions. I still do it (Some time) for pure fun.
So if you discuss anythin' 'bout crackin', I'm always here for gatherin'
knowledge. Any body can use this for security reason.
