[ Quoting Devin Walters <devin () PORTALMEDIA COM> ]:
What kind of cracker do I use to crack a wwwboard passwd.txt file? And where can I find it? Also when correcting a large company on security holes in their web boards how much should i ask for as payment?
If you don't know how (or can tell by the look at the source of wwwboard), you're not worth a dime. There's two ways getting money from discovering security holes: Blackmailing / Hacking without the companys authorisation: Hope you get caught and jailed for being stupid. Being a contract hacker: You _really_ schould be able to tell the way a password is generated by looking at it or by looking at the code that generated it. Take a look at some of the standard-books such as the Cryptonomicon, frequently check the net (http/nntp, et. al.) jonas
