Title : Hacking Iron Author : Tony Duell Original : Sounding Brass Group : Flanders and Swann Intro : I don't actually approve of crashing systems on the net.... Tektronix and Fluke are manufacturers of electronic test equipment, including protocol/network analysers You can replace 'Cambridge' with 'Token' if you prefer Song : Society frowns on blowing one's own trumpet But we've found a game that merits no rebuke If that's the password file we're going to dump it It's more fun with a Tektronix or a Fluke The object is to login as your neighbour "I've got system privs" is the acid test So flip the sense switch one up And watch those DECpacks run up And hack our mainframe systems with the best Looking round the worldwide network Searching through the system cache Bigger, faster, newer, smarter See the networked systems crash My dial-in port's ex-directory should you wish to make a call Mine is even more exclusive (More exclusive?) I won't have dial-in at all (spoken) You can always e-mail me - net.god@uk (lines now alternated) I've a packet radio network, though it can't receive a thing I've my own direct connection, straight into the Cambridge Ring I've a disk pack, arrives daily, with the next software update All my software comes via IR (via what??) To my H - P - forty - eight I believe my home computer runs full Unix system five I lost 20 gigs of software when I crashed my hard disk drive I've been asked to build a handheld, complete with network IO I've been asked to rebuild Unix - for security you know My local network login site runs R S X version 3 All my net backdoors fly open when I enter 'Sesame' Your task privs are 'user, user', My task privs are 'root, root, root' I've just bought an net monitor (Bought a what?) (An net monitor) Oh yes, I run one when I boot Looking round the worldwide network Searching through the system cache Bigger, faster, newer, smarter See the networked systems crash DEC has just been taken over, we got in without a pause We've acquired an Alpha system, bigger, faster, far than your's @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
