i read a document which arrived in my mailbox in which you comment on
the ability to access finger via telnet. you said that many telnet
programs for the pc don't support telneting to a port.i only have one, in addition to the undocumented telnet at the win95 dos
prompt. it is netscan tools 2.40a from northwest performance software
(kirk v. thomas) i tried telnet <hostname> 79 with this program and i
got a connect to port 79. couldn't get any response out of port 79 but
that's just me.by the way i like this shareware program very much. it has it all,
finger, traceroute, server lookup, ping, the whole shebang (sp?). i
forget what i paid for it but it was sort of trivial ($25?).(more anonymous)
Here's an update of sorts for you, re W95 (hey, some of us gotta produce
text and spreadsheets too! Not to mention QUAKE!)You said:

perpetrate, ahem, use the resources at say, that community library down
the street, one may want to try at home or office too. If the task of
telnetting to a port is difficult, then sysadmin'g linux will be a task
of biblical proportions. Sooooo...In win95 you have two options: Get run off of the start menu. Type
telnet (no need for dir path) and hit enter. The choose Connect |
Remote System. Type the domain in the top box (Host Name). Type the
port in the Port edit box. hit enter, and boogie. **NOTE** You have to
be a good typist because there is no local echo in this mode; for ports
25 and 79 anyway. (I defer the question of port 69).If you want a local echo then set up Hilgraeve's Hyper Terminal
program. Once you have a VT100 shell connection you can use your local
host's telnet, and have local echo. (For OS2'ers, you've got Hilgraeve
too.)For unix meddling, Hilgrave, versus the MS telnet, is my personal fave.
BTW-- I prefer this to be distributed confidentially if at all. Thanks
for taking my risks, Ms. Meinel.aloha,
Neurocracy (Sure, finger me and find out who I am, but why ruin the
drama?)PS: If I have my history right, MS-DOS is a sort of Unix, albeit SCO or
System V's inbred, illegitimate and developmentally malfunctional
relative.(Moderator's note: Let's end this loooong missive on a happy note. If you

can teach knowledgable hackers very much. As far as I've seen, she
pretty much claims to target the 'newbies' or curious non-hackers. Of
course, from some of the discussions that have ensued due to inaccurate
explanations in the GTMHH she has come off sounding a little cocky. In
that aspect she DOES closely characterize most of us hackers, and I can't
really fault her. We could all probably take lessons in putting apologies
for mistakes before our pride.Anyway, being an involved party I should probably explain my position
for all to read. As I state on my web page where I archive back copies
of the GTMHH, I "support her efforts to promote the basic elements of a
technical education that hacking requires." While a lot of the
information she offers does exist somewhere else it often can be hard to
find for the unskilled or H/P uninitiated. The underground community has
long needed more guides to help the beginning hacker learn more technical
aspects of computers and networking.There is, of course, a question as to whether she is giving people
too much information about how to hack without first building up their
background in actually understanding the technology. In some cases I
think she does, yet in others I feel she's appropriately vague. The line
between acceptable and unacceptable disclosures is really one that we
each define personally which makes it hard to agree upon. In a sense, I
think that Carolyn is still defining hers based off the reactions of
established hackers and her peers reading the Guide.I hope that she continues to provide raw, and sometimes rare,
information on the innerworking of OSes rather than focus purely on the
hacking aspects of them. I feel that hacking needs to develop from the
desire to find out for yourself just how far you can explore a particular
program or OS function.Personally, I believe that my days of hacking started around the time
that I started trying to program viruses on an Apple IIe. I wanted to push
the computer past the point of what most people considered acceptable and
that really excited me. Carolyn seems to be in such a point of her life
right now. She's seen the power and exhilliration that lies within
hacking and her way of increasing those effects is to share with others.
Is she qualified to do so? At this point, not to the extent that she
tries to be. Should experienced people help her out (and receive credit
where credit is due)? They should if they want to see this project to
succeed.Whether this particular projects succeeds or fails depends on
the participation of knowledgeable people. As Maelstrom (I believe)

1. You come in for some unwarranted attacks for suggesting newbies like
myself could run Windows and Linux. I'm the one waiting for Santa to
deliver his Linux. Seasoned, elite hackers seem to think this is amateur
hour. That gets up my nose.
Caroline, less than a year ago I would have had trouble plugging a computer
in. It was a major achievement for me to use the right mouse button.
Customizing the taskbar was occasion to write a snail mail letter to my son
at Edinburgh university. The point is I've been learning at my own pace and
while I'm still obviously the object of scorn for people who insist on
using Ph where f would do, I'm making progress. I'm trying to learn C. I'm
reading books on Unix (which is like trying to learn ancient Greek by
reading books in Latin.)
In the past 11 months I've come a long way, mostly through coming to terms
with my own limitations and trying to expand them. Dare I say I, in my own
way, have made greater strides than someone who calls him or herself
Phreakin' 3l33t Hacksaws Deemon Def Con Arteestes? Hmmm?
2. If the avowed intent of all hackers is the spread and sharing of
knowledge, how come those with most of it sneer so much at those trying to
learn? Hmmm?
3. If it wasn't for Windows, I wouldn't have gotten this far.
4. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten that little bit further.
I leave it up to you to use my name or not.alandm@hotstar.net

Moderator’s note: The answer is you use a "sniffer," a program that lurks on a computer used to transport Internet traffic, and sorts through it looking for items of interest. These programs can also see anything you do when you telnet or send email, unless your telnet session or email is securely encrypted. There are lots of sniffer programs publicly available. But since, IMHO they have no good purpose, I won’t hunt any down for this list. OK, OK, I will grant that under extraordinary circumstances, a law enforcement agency armed with a search warrant may have good reason to run a sniffer program.From: jericho@dimensional.com

If would be quite easy to program any irc bot or script to install some
pretty basic backdoors allowing a hacker to gain access to your account.
That is one reason it is recommended that people not irc as 'root' (the
"superuser" of the system).Or were you talking about something else?
(Moderator’s note: a member of this list is working on a long piece on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). So soon you should get the entire story. Basically, IRC is much beloved of hackers because they love to chat in near-real-time over the Internet. But IRC poses lots of problems to Internet Service Providers. The above post gives one example out of many of why IRC can be a problem.)

How do I find out the name of a user by their name? I know a person
who's last name is Lowry, and who logs in at cc.usu.edu. Short of
fingering for days waiting until she logs in, is there any way I can find

Moderator’s note: log on in the root account and you can do anything you want. There’s a zillion ways to possibly do this, one or two of which might work in your case. But it would be illegal. Depending on where you live, it may even be a felony.
If you want to learn those zillion ways to get that magic “#” prompt on your screen, check out the Bugtraq archives at http://www.geek-girl.com/bugtraq/. But I promise you it’s going to be a lot of work. And please stay out of trouble.
Moderator’s note: here’s another anonymous post. Guess lots of people don’t want to deal with getting flamed by the 31337 d00dz on this list. Hey, I can’t blame you. But if you have a thick skin, believe me, some of the private email this list incites is pretty entertaining. Put your email address on your posts and join the fun!
I happened to receive a chance message today from a friend responding to
another friend who advised that complete anonymity could be achieved
simply by Telnet'ing to port 25 of Microsoft.com and writing the email.
I did send them enough of a warning, and told them how to do some
checking around by emailing themselves a test message in order to look
at the routing headers. I hope they decide to listen. They don't have a
clue to my interest in hacking....well, up until now. But, I know of
their vices as well.Also, I notice that a lot of the home computer advice is for
DOS/Windows. I have to use them at work sometimes, but I have Macs at
home. My boss won't let me bring the orphaned Indigo home. The Mac
version of NCSA Telnet 2.5 works fine for pinging, fingering, and
opening a port. Thought I would pass that along. Telnet 2.5 is freeware
and is very simple to run. I may try to connect via SoftWindows doing
the Win 3.11 emulation. If it works, then I'll have to pay attention to
the Terminal comments on here.From: "T.Q.D.B." <tqdb@feist.com>
