     In this tutorial, I hope to teach
you a little about the Net-Works
program, and how to destroy any NW
board you might happen to hate.

     Nick Naimo (the author of NW)
left quite a few bugs in his program,  
maybe on purpose...  Who knows?  Here
are a few of them.

    How to mildly annoy the sysop
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

     Type 'G' at the main menu prompt.
when it asks you for a number, enter
a valid number plus a decimal...
for instance, 3.5.  This will create
a one sector file called "J.3.5.SYS"
which will never be erased unless the
sysop himself CATALOGs the disk and
DELETEs them all by hand.

How to destroy (almost) any system file
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

     To destroy almost any system file,
there must be a board sharing drive 1,
where most of the system files are
kept.  Post a message called

USERS.SYS
TITLES or TITLES1 or TITLES.1
MENU.SYS

with a space in front of it...
for instance, to destroy the password
file, post a message called
" USERS.SYS", the space in the
front is lost when the file is re-read,
so go to another board, and then back
to the board you posted on.  Then,
Remove the mesage you just posted...
it will delete the "USERS.SYS" and
leave " USERS.SYS" alone....
Pretty cool, eh?

     How to get into the monitor
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

     This is the best crash there is,
I think... If the board you are
crashing has not been protected from
it, it will always A) hang totally
or B) go into the monitor.  What you
want to do is this:  type 'E' at the
main menu prompt, and then when it asks
you for a name, enter garbage.... or
a real name, it really doesn't matter.
When it says "50 lines max., to end
type --> /EX <--" you do this:

A) Hit <RETURN> once.
B) Type /EX
C) Type 'F' at the choices.
D) Enter "99E99" for the line number
   to fix.
E) Goto step A when it says 50 lines...
   again.

After about 6-10 times of this, you
will hear a BEEP as it goes into
the monitor.... if control-C works,
then you're into basic!  If it doesn't,
then you'll just have to wait for the
SYSOP to come along and hit RESET and
re-run his board.

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
   What to do if you get into basic
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

     If you get into basic, then check
to see if he has his program saved
on his disk.  If he does, then make
a few 'backdoors' so you can get into
basic anytime you want to, and then
SAVE it onto his disk... then type
RUN.  You'll lose carrier, and he'll
never know what hit him when suddenly
his password file gets deleted every
night!

             Sysop access
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

     Another useful thing to know
is if you if you enter a sysop
password  you can get very high access. 
For instance let's say you log on and 
see the normal log on...

Connected to:  Joe's BBS

Enter account number or the word 'NEW'.

---> 

At that point, you should enter some-
thing like:  E1EL (that is a common
sysop password).  When it says
"Invalid Password" you should type
the word "NEW".  Enter whatever you
want for the name, and when it
asks you for a phone, just hit
<RETURN>... It won't assaign a pass-
word, but who cares.  When you get
into the BBS, type "Y".  You should
either have a level of 9 or special
download access (on T-I-M-E-C-O-R
you get special download access).
The only problem is that you are
not validated... if the sysop is
stupid enough, he may validate you 
if you chat so you can just "look
around".  The main use for this 
small tip is to look at a high
level "G" section you don't
need to be validated to look at.

Note:  on boards requiring account
       numbers, you should enter
       1 as the account number.

P.S.  Be careful how you distribute
      this, if everyone in the
      country gets hold of it, every
      board will be protected and this
      tutorial will be useless...
      Keep that in mind, and have
      PHUN!!!
