What's your first HaXperience?

What's your first experience with hacking? Whether you installed a keylogger into someone's computer, a vnc or even peeked onto his keyboard while he/she was logging into his account, share it all!

Here's mine
When I was 10, I visited my grandmother's house during my summer vacations. They had a reliance broadband connection, that required you to login into their web page with your account's username and pass. My uncle had strictly told us not to use his account and he even removed his password from the browser pass-manager. Oh god how on earth I was going to remain without internet for 30 days. Determined to do something I started messing with their site and stumbled upon "forgot your password". I thought that it would be using some sort of extremely secure login system but what's wrong with experimenting... So here's how it went -
1. Enter you account name - "sad" [the first thing that came to my mind]
2. Your account number is "blah blah blah"
Enter your security question - "1. Your pet name" [the first question in the popup]
3. Enter your question's answer - "sad" [I wasn't even serious with what I was doing, just did it for the sake of fun]
4. Click "show" to show your password [O_O how the F***K, I was seriously sitting there jaw-dropped]

I have many other experiences (2nd was messing with CartoonNetwork's contest game and tampering with my score to be on top...and getting my account banned), I'd love to share it all but lets see what you guys come up with

hmm sikret

I can telnet

^ haha!!! old school hax!!

i can grep/sed

@ico i think you meant 'sekrit'

run rm -rf / as root

^^

shortcut to disaster.

or

Code:

:(){ :|: & };:

Whaaat? Reliance is really so insecure???

Nice work though. They received a shocking bill I think at the end of the month

i once downloaded a movie on my mausi's comp (bsnl 2 gb limit) using utorrent, but forgot to stop it after downloading. it continued uploading and she got a bill of rs 3k. she swore to knock off my head for that.

is the code complete??? im sure something's missing, or maybe im just paranoid

^^ fork bomb.

should be enough i suppose.

Deleted 'System Idle Process' in my Uncle's Computer.Didn't start properly for days.He killed me for that.

@thetechfreak yeah man, we totally screwed up their account with thousands of downloads. I think they had 2mbps bandwidth. The next month this showed up on their account "Your service has been withdrawn due to non-payment of bills"

i can't understand this code deal??? Whats the fuss about??

@mohityadavx It's a Fork bomb
In short, once you (or an external process) executes a certain command, it will keep on cloning a certain process until no process slot is free (or until your computers gets f**ked up)

skript kiddies.

haha, pwn'd!!!

now, if someone codes to fork off a cpu intensive process, THAT will be a proper hack

I can try and make a AHK script for that, but i don't see how that can be a hack.

well, its a hack if no one has got it before, and you manage to efficiently do it.

It was more of an inadverdent hack.I didn't know what it was(This is eating almost 99% CPU!! Must close it down.Uncle will be so happy!)

What does this do?

DEL ---> delete file syntax.
/F ---> Ignore read-only setting and delete anyway (FORCE)
/Q ---> Quiet mode, do not give a Yes/No Prompt before deleting.
* ---> applicable for all files.

Fork Bomb...
how to run above code???

he already told:

oh sorry i mean this -->

reverse engineered a win32 prog (dont rememeber) in hackman to avoid trial period...in 9th i guess

@Karan, it is linux code. type in terminal. i can try it on my mobile's terminal but if something gets messed, i'll be doomed. will try on MontaVista later to verify it really works.

terminal???
pls call me zangetsu....

@gopi_vbboy : Kewl! I already tried that in a crappy software. Most of the new softwares nowadays make it almost impossible (not impossible, but hard actually) to reverse engineer them. Reverse engineering itself is too hard.
