Warning! DO NOT open any Browser while in root mode.
And it's better not to login as root but use console to login as superuser and then pico
#su
[root password]
#pico /home/bart/xorg.conf - just an example

I'm curious SlackerLX, why should you never open a browser while in root mode?

SlackerLX · 08-13-2005, 04:06 AM

It will seriously mess up your system, permissions, symlinks and libraries. It's not recommended to login in GUI as root at all. If opened you'll say goodbye to browsing in user mode

So in short : how can I crack the root passord ?

WARNING! You may be betting into smth you'll be sorry afterwards!! I assumed you knew your root password. If you do not, then allegedly community presumes you as cracker!

I could also presume that you're so green that you installed linux and forgot password but it's highly unlikely.
I could also assume..... many things

A lot of things can actually be installed in and run from your 'home' directory. It's not ideal as it is can be a security risk

Pease don't ask for advice on how to crack things here

How can i see root's password?

Which file that i can see Root's password?

SlackerLX · 08-13-2005, 08:33 AM

I can tell you how set password though:

Code:

If you wish to use the root account in more traditional UNIX fashion, you can set the root password by typing sudo passwd root. This will allow you to use su or login as root on the console.

If you need a shell with root privileges, run sudo -s.

Hello egag!
How do you do?
This IS common knowledge. Every *Nix user must know how to set root password!

egag · 08-13-2005, 09:06 AM

hi SlackerLX,
still Slackin' ...

the answer you posted is common knowledge...i know.
and a pc cannot be safe when a cracker has physical access to the machine.

but i think OP means to look up the root password of a remote machine,
as he mentions a telnet connection in his first post.

first of all i woundn't know how to do that, but if such is possible,
it would be helping a cracker.
( and posting that here would create a lot of them )

btw :
" hacker "= hero of the open source community
" cracker" = a criminal

Agreed!

To the thread starter,

If your real intentions are to learn about cracking and hacking to better your own security, by all means you need to read the stickies and threads in our Security forum. If your asking these questions to just learn how to crack into systems though, we'll just go ahead and close this thread as we do not tolerate such things here on this site and forums.

And for the record, anyone that allows root login over telnet deserves to be cracked, running telnet alone almost calls for such things. There are better ways to do such things and root should never be allowed to login remotely unless your behind a secure firewall or private network, etc.
