   How to gain illegal access to an rsts system,and what to do once your in.

Written by Sam Sneed from Osuny BBS

     The RSTS system has two parts, the Priviledged accounts,and the User
accts. The Priviledged accounts start with a 1 (In the format [1,1], [1,10],
etc. To show the Priv. accounts we will use the wildcard [1,*].)

     The priviledged accounts are what every RSTS user would love to have,
because if you have a priviledged acct. you have COMPLETE control of the whole
system. How can I get a priviledged [1,*] account? you may ask....Well it takes
A LOT of hard work. Guessing is the general rule. for instance, when you first
log in there will be a # sign: # (You type a [1,*] account, like) 1,2 It will
then say Password: (You then type anything up to 6 letters/numbers Upper Case
only) ABCDEF. If it says ?Invalid Password, try again ' so you will have to
keep trying.

     Ok, we'll assume you've succeeded. You are now in the priviledged account
of an RSTS system. The first thing you should do is kick everyone else off the
system (Or just the other Priviledged users)..You do this with the Utility
Program which is in the system.
     UT KILL (here you type the Job # of the user you'd like to get out of your
way). If the system won't let you,you'll have to look for the UTILTY program.
To search for it type DIR [1,*]UTILTY.* Now, you've found it and kicked off all
the important people (if you want you can leave the other people on, but it's
important to remove all the other [1,*] users,end the Detached ones). To find
out who's who on the system type SYS/P- (That will print out all the privileged
users). Or type SYS to see Everyone.
     Next on your agenda is to get all the passwords (Of course!). You do this
by run$MONEY (If it isn't there, you search for it with DIR[1,*]MONEY.* and r
un it using the account where you found it instead of the $). There will be a
few questions, like Reset? and Disk? Here's the Important answers. Disk? SY
(you want the system password) Reset? No (You want to leave everything as it
is) Passwords? YES (You want the passwords Printed) There are others but they
aren't important, so just hit a C/R. There is ONE more, it will say something
like Output status to? KB: (This is very important, you want to see it, not
send it elsewhere).

     Ok, now you've got all the pass words in your hands. Your next step is to
make sure the next time you log on you can get in again. This is the hard part.
First, in order to make sure that no one will disturb you, you use the UTILTY
program to makezx)Y
