All he would have to do is use any network sniffer. Grab the data for specific machines and run the data stream through a lopht crack password cracker. That is just one scenario. There are MANY ways to do this. All with relative ease and little training. sounds as though you may have a larger problem though. This guy is obviously a new person to the hacking world, not a hacker though. He is what we refer to as a nuisance, but dealable. In many of the companies that I deal with he would be told that he is dangerously close to being fired and / or Federal offense issues. This is normally enough to quell the would-be-hacker. If you don't draw the line now then you WILL have to pay for it later either in security breaches, downtime from hacking or consulting services to lock your company down. Just my personal opinion. -----Original Message----- From: BY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2000 5:55 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW1] Administrator's password has been discovered by non-priviledged user ! Hi there, I find this is really very annoying. The user with only a common domain user priviledge who has no even power user priviledged. How does he find out the local administrator's and even the domain account administrator's password ? I just hope he is lying to us. Cant really tell with his cheaky face though. I am surprised that there is a hacking tool that can explore anyone's password with just a common domain user's priviledge account ? Can somebody what would the possible hacking tools he is using ? A Big Thank You !
