would it be illegal to take the computer's files?

duct tape (author) in reply to abran5Apr 24, 2012. 3:35 PM

Generally speaking, doing anything on a system/network that you don't have permission to do is illegal. I'm not a lawyer, but I would think it'd be illegal to do so.

abran5 says: Apr 23, 2012. 8:38 PM

when I try to download Winfingerprint my computer says that there is nothing in the file (my computer say that downloaded compressed folders are empty. HELP!!!)

whats telnet

64bithero says: Jun 4, 2008. 1:20 AM

So.... you have to be administrator? Wouldn't that make it not hacking?

altrobot in reply to 64bitheroNov 4, 2009. 12:43 PM

it would still be hacking, because your on some else's network (ie wardriving, being in a hacked network) etc...

64bithero in reply to altrobotOct 1, 2010. 10:39 PM

I realise this is late; but what I meant is you'd have to already be an administrator on their network to do anything.

Death

Which computer were you trying to get access to? When you turn on the computer that you attempt to access, does it display something like 'Welcome Admin'? The default user is probably something like administrator and the password will be blank if you usually don't use one to get on the computer.

Hey, isn't is illegal to do this ???

hg341 in reply to yadhavMay 29, 2009. 5:27 PM

no if they have no passwords or are on a open net you are free to go in

ac1D in reply to hg341Aug 1, 2009. 2:41 PM

so your saying that if you leave your front door open, ppl are free to come in your house and take your computer or tv? Smart.

hg341 in reply to ac1DAug 2, 2009. 11:21 AM

there is a BIG diference there

ac1D in reply to hg341Aug 2, 2009. 3:21 PM

Ok il reword myself. YOu have the right to connect yourself in your sister computer without her knowing you did, and see her naked. 2x smart?

hg341 in reply to ac1DAug 2, 2009. 5:25 PM

well if you like that kinda stuff

ac1D in reply to hg341Aug 2, 2009. 10:04 PM

I give up. You won. Let say it's legal even if it is not.

hg341 in reply to ac1DAug 3, 2009. 9:02 AM

im just saying that if a network^wifi is open^{no passwords} then you can go in

muzac in reply to hg341Oct 14, 2009. 12:26 AM

Actually, that is still technically true. It has been attempted a few times in congress to create a law that makes connecting to an open wifi network illegal, but it has failed every time.

So, yes, connecting to an open wifi network is still legal. I see your point here...

when i do all this it just winfingerprint just outputs:
Done.

bs031984 says: Apr 7, 2009. 12:46 PM

What is telnet what version do i need and where can i download it ?

duct tape (author) in reply to bs031984Apr 9, 2009. 2:35 PM

if you have windows you should have telnet

hg341 in reply to duct tapeMay 29, 2009. 5:24 PM

vista dose not have telnet

greenbean in reply to hg341Jul 29, 2009. 5:05 PM

Yes it does. Go to the control panel and it should be under Programs, Programs and Features, and its Turn Windows Features On and Off. Check the Telnet client, not the telnet server.

Sparkythehappygirafe says: Mar 26, 2009. 7:01 PM

Hey is this winfingerprint full of viruses?. . .

duct tape (author) in reply to SparkythehappygirafeMar 27, 2009. 12:29 PM

No. Not as far as I know. Just don't get it from some warez site, and you'll be fine.

Sparkythehappygirafe in reply to duct tapeMar 27, 2009. 1:27 PM

ok cool, thanks man

Waffles Will Rule says: Dec 10, 2008. 11:28 AM

I got a system error 53, Network path not found.. ..

duct tape (author) in reply to Waffles Will RuleDec 11, 2008. 9:14 PM

This only works if you are on the same network. I.E., wardriving.

Waffles Will Rule in reply to duct tapeDec 18, 2008. 10:05 PM

You mean like a Wireless network? The person who I am trying to get is on the same network. I did this for my router too, got up to this part and got the same error.

duct tape (author) in reply to Waffles Will RuleDec 22, 2008. 9:25 PM

Are you sure you are typing in the right IP, or are even on the same network? That is what error 53 usually means.

the_mad_man in reply to duct tapeMar 15, 2009. 1:19 AM

wardriving or do you mean wardialing

klingoncowboy4 says: Mar 14, 2009. 11:49 PM

Ah the joys of M$ Networking...

IR8D8R says: Jan 17, 2009. 4:18 PM

OK now one of you geniuses tell us how to keep these hacks OUT of the PC

duct tape (author) in reply to IR8D8RJan 17, 2009. 8:36 PM

you just have to disallow sharing your sensitive info...

oliver57 says: Nov 27, 2008. 2:12 PM

Ok when i open winfingerprint, i dont get as much in the general options, and when i scan with all the boxes checked it just says: error 53 WNetOpenEnum Error 53: The network path was not found. Please help me? thanks

Constantine says: Nov 17, 2008. 3:36 PM

How exactly is this cracking? You used standard hidden shares available on any PC running file sharing. $admin $c etc...

duct tape (author) in reply to ConstantineNov 19, 2008. 7:53 AM

I never actually said this was cracking, I named it hacking because that is what people will search for.

646433 says: May 2, 2008. 12:37 AM

anyone please explain me what is the use of this stuff

bikerbob2005 in reply to 646433Oct 7, 2008. 5:53 AM

Early one morning i turned on my laptop ,it told me user password had failed and hung on that . I had net entered the desktop password yet , so windows would not boot this might be one way to get around that .Letting you save music and photos have not backed up latly.I took the easy route fed it the XP cd and wiped it clean (no ASR didnt work )
