Win2k Logon Hacks

(1/5) > >>

robzilla:
My brother had a couple (4) of disks that he could use so he could get into a cmd before his Win2k booted up. It let himdo just about anything, and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could download the files of these, if anyone else knows anything about them. I would really apreciate it...Even though there probably is some loop-hole in 2k to do it anyways.  ;)

If anyone knows ANYTHING please leave a reply...

This is the disk we use in Internet Security class for altering the SAM file......ie changing passwords.

Hey, that is one slick disk!! Thanks! I haven't actually run it from floppy yet as is intended, but I did mount the floppy disk image directly and copied the initrd.gz file out if it, then extracted/mounted initrd.  Then I copied the "chntpwd" program out of it into my ~/bin directory so I could test it out directly without booting the floppy.  Copied my /c/winnt/system32/sam file to /tmp and ran the "chntpwd" program on it and could manipulate it however I wanted (change passwords, navigate the registry, etc).  I should have thought of this! And it's all done with Linux!  I'll have to burn this onto floppy and stick it in my little bag 'o' tricks.

I guess the source code for chntpwd is out there somewhere, I'll have to check it out.

On another note, if you need to recover your Administrator password and don't have this boot disk there is another way to do it if you know any normal user logon using CMD.EXE and LOGON.SCR.  I posted that one in an earlier thread.

Nobber:
That question belongs in the FuckMicrosoft FAQ!

dd if=/path/to/floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

with perhaps some other options. info dd/man dd for more details.
