Beginners Guide to Simple Hacking

[~OddBall~]

I'm not sure if this has been done before...So I'll just post it anyway.

Anyway, here's my Beginners Guide to Simple Hacking!!

All this tutorial is going to show you is how to use the command prompt, and some IP sniffers, to get into another computer's shared folder. It's just basic stuff, and it's easy. But most of all, it can be pretty fun!

So let's start off:
First things first, you'll be needing an IP scanner/sniffer. You can find a basic one that I use here. Just download the lastest stable version, open up the folder, and then open up the program.

Here it is when opened:



Now from here, you can do a few things with the IP range. In the start area, you could type 1.1.1.1 to 255.255.255.255...which would check every IP in that range to see if any are active on the network.
If you're on a smaller network like I am, it would be best to find the first two sets of digits. For example, the network I am on right now in my dorm ranges from 216.93.1.1 to 216.93.255.255. So I would enter those numbers into their respective areas, like so:

BTW, don't know your IP address? Check to see what it is here!



Now just press start once everything is entered. This part may take a while since it's scanning every IP in the range.

After some time it should finally end, and you'll receive a message saying:



I stopped the scan a little short because I already know that there are no IPs that are active at the higher ranges. Plus, it would take more time

Anyway, as you can see, it says that there are 19 alive hosts. That means that 19 computers responded to the ping the program sent out.

So now, to make this really simple instead of scrolling through all of the dead IPs to find the alive ones, just press the 'ping' tab. Give it a minute now, it does have a lot of IPs to sort through. Eventually it should put all of the alive IPs on top.
Here's what mine looks like:



Now, lets get started with the fun stuff. For me, anything with a "# - #" is fair game. In other words, 248-145 is completely usable...but the PAL, dhcp2005, etc., are not.

Here we go with the actual hacking now. Open up Start Menu => Run => cmd.exe
Command prompt time!

* If you can't access the cmd prompt at school make a batch file with the only line being "cmd" (without quotes). This gets you a fully functioning command prompt. To make a batch file just open up Notepad write whatever you want in it (In this case "cmd" (without the quotes) ) and go File>Save as> name.bat


Let's start out by changing the directory to your primary drive, which for me is the C:\ drive. If you don't know already, type "cd C:\" (without quotes, and change C to whatever your primary hard drive is).
Should look like this (I also typed in 'cls' to clear the screen):



Ok, so we know the IP, which for this demonstration I will be using 216.93.156.61, we want to attack, but just to be sure it is truly active I'll type "ping 216.93.156.61".



Well, it appears to be active. So now, we type in "nbtstat -a 216.93.156.61" into the command prompt to see if anything is shared. Here's how it looks now:



As you can see, the computer name is Tim. And if you look closely, you'll see that it checks two parts of the network, the wireless and LAN. Since I'm on LAN right now, the wireless check comes up empty.
Next to the computer name is <##> with numbers in it. The one that says <20> is the shared folder.

Here's where we find out if we can use the shared folder. Type in "net view 216.93.156.61". Here's what mine looks like now:



Apparently, access was denied. This can happen if the use has a lock on the shared folder.
If this happens, then just find another IP and try again.
This time, I'm trying 216.93.156.203

Here's that I come up with when I use the "net view" command:



This time we have success! As you can see, there are two disks...Aaron, and SharedDocs.
The one that says Aaron is most likely to be an internal hard drive, and it can't be shared.

Anyway...let's mount the shared docs onto your hard drive! To do this I'll type "net use K: \\216.93.156.203\SharedDocs"
The "K" denotes a drive you would like to use. It's just a made up drive that your computer creates so that you can access it. "K" can be any letter that is not currently in use on your system.
Here's what it looks like for me now:



Now all that is left to do is to go into 'My Computer' and check it out!



Feel free to open up the shared folder and check it out. Leave messages if you like...or if you found a computer of someone that has pissed you off, fill it to the brim with porn to take up all of their hard drive space.

To disconnect from the drive, just right click and go down to 'disconnect'.

Have Fun with this,

Hehe, i've tried something like this back in middle school, didn't have any luck mainly because I wasn't too smart w/ it but, I can def do it now, good guide, just don't get in trouble >_<

Oh my god, thanks for the guide man, really awesome!

Cool! +rep!

Nice guide, but if you really want to hack, GET LINUX!
Linux: Ip sniffers and etc included, Konsol (unix command prompt, hella advanced) and alot more.
Windows: Crap o.O

[~OddBall~]

Unix ftw

Unix ftw

It maybe confusing to most people, but agreed!
