prank program can be downloaded from http://www.osr.com/insider/insdrcod.htm.
*********************************
You can get punched in the nose warning: need I say more?

But by far the deadliest hacking tool that runs on Windows can be downloaded from, guess what?
http://home.microsoft.com
That deadly program is Internet Explorer 3.0. Unfortunately, this program is even better for letting other
hackers break into your home computer and do stuff like make your home banking program (e.g. Quicken)
transfer your life savings to someone in Afghanistan.
But if you're aren't brave enough to run Internet Explorer to surf the Web, you can still use it to hack your
own computer, or other computers on your LAN. You see, Internet Explorer is really an alternate Windows
shell which operates much like the Program Manager and Windows Explorer that come with the Win 94 and
Win NT operating systems.
Yes, from Internet Explorer you can run any program on your own computer. Or any program to which you
have access on your LAN.
***********************************
Newbie note: A shell is a program that mediates between you and the operating system. The big deal about
Internet Explorer being a Windows shell is that Microsoft never told anyone that it was in fact a shell. The
security problems that are plaguing Internet Explorer are mostly a consequence of it turning out to be a
shell. By contrast, the Netscape and Mosaic Web browsers are not shells. They also are much safer to use.
***********************************
To use Internet Explorer as a Windows shell, bring it up just like you would if you were going to surf the
Web. Kill the program's attempt to establish an Internet connection -- we don't want to do anything crazy,
do we?
Then in the space where you would normally type in the URL you want to surf, instead type in c:.
Whoa, look at all those file folders that come up on the screen. Look familiar? It's the same stuff your
Windows Explorer would show you. Now for fun, click "Program Files" then click "Accessories" then click
"MSPaint." All of a sudden MSPaint is running. Now paint your friends who are watching this hack very
surprised.
Next close all that stuff and get back to Internet Explorer. Click on the Windows folder, then click on
Regedit.exe to start it up. Export the password file (it's in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT). Open it in Word Pad.
Remember, the ability to control the Registry of a server is the key to controlling the network it serves.
Show this to your next door neighbor and tell her that you're going to use Internet Explorer to surf her
password files. In a few hours the Secret Service will be fighting with the FBI on your front lawn over who
gets to try to bust you. OK, only kidding here.
So how can you use Internet Explorer as a hacking tool? One way is if you are using a computer that
restricts your ability to run other programs on your computer or LAN. Next time you get frustrated at your
school or library computer, check to see if it offers Internet Explorer. If it does, run it and try entering disk
drive names. While C: is a common drive on your home computer, on a LAN you might get results by
putting in R: or Z: or any other letter of the alphabet.
Next cool hack: try automated port surfing from Windows! Since there are thousands of possible ports that
may be open on any computer, it could take days to fully explore even just one computer by hand. A good
answer to this problem is the NetCop automated port surfer, which can be found at http://www.netcop.com/.
Now suppose you want to be able to access the NTFS file system that Windows NT uses from a Win 95 or
even DOS platform? This can be useful if you are wanting to use Win 95 as a platform to hack an NT
system. http://www.ntinternals.com/ntfsdos.htm offers a program that allows Win 95 and DOS to recognize
and mount NTFS drives for transparent access.
Hey, we are hardly beginning to explore all the wonderful Windows hacking tools out there. It would take
megabytes to write even one sentence about each and every one of them. But you're a hacker, so you'll
enjoy exploring dozens more of these nifty programs yourself. Following is a list of sites where you can
download lots of free and more or less harmless programs that will help you in your hacker career:

In this Guide you will learn how to:
· tell whether you may already have a Unix shell account
· get a shell account
· log on to your shell account
____________________________________________________________
You've fixed up your Windows box to boot up with a lurid hacker logo. You've renamed "Recycle Bin"
"Hidden Haxor Secrets." When you run Netscape or Internet Explorer, instead of that boring corporate logo,
you have a full-color animated Mozilla destroying New York City. Now your friends and neighbors are
terrified and impressed.
But in your heart of hearts you know Windows is scorned by elite hackers. You keep on seeing their hairy
exploit programs and almost every one of them requires the Unix operating system. You realize that when it
comes to messing with computer networks, Unix is the most powerful operating system on the planet. You
have developed a burning desire to become one of those Unix wizards yourself. Yes, you're ready for the
next step.
You're ready for a shell account. SHELL ACCOUNT!!!!
*****************************************************
Newbie note: A shell account allows you to use your home computer as a terminal on which you can give
commands to a computer running Unix. The "shell" is the program that translates your keystrokes into Unix
