You example only works if you are actually on the box already. Sort of silly really. It was meant to be silly. It was meant to be silly and highlight that breaking into a Solaris system can happen in the stupidest ways possible. Also, I always edit /etc/security/policy.conf to use MD5

This is an example. If the attacker found and exploited a zero day vulnerability in SSH, he would be root, and would need no password for `su -`. I thought that much was clear. If, indeed, he exploited a bit of ssh which runs as root as a (large) part of it does not. (There are two daemons

I have to dissapoint you again: MD5 has been broken and can no longer be considered safe: But that is nearly completely irrelevant for MD5 password hashing. And even though DES is broken, there are no breaks for original UNIX crypt which are faster than brute force (though pre-computing all

With MD5 key hashes the keyspace is (much) longer and brute force is still the only option, yet the algorithm takes longer to run and the size of the keyspace makes finding non-trivial passwords much harder. According to the paper, it can take as fast as 67 seconds. I wouldn't dismiss it

Does it lock up solid and require a reset, or just run slow? Locks up, doesn't even respond to ssh requests from another machine. Although sometimes 'locking up' and 'running really really really slow' are indistingushable :-) You can try to enable deadman panics, by adding this to
