about to try that trick on win XP sp2...
Works fine for me (Win Xp sp3). Good Job!
Not at all, mac users tend to think their os is not vulnerable, every os is, that's all, and most important thing: most users are vulnerable :-D
The problem is usually PEBKAC.
Yeah Mod ^ Anarchy angel for Admin status!

Buiding the $800 Gaming machine [AMD Dragon Style]

Poor Mans I.D.S.
I have been thinking of implementing a poor mans IDS/ file Integrity checker using a simple Md5 hash tool for quite some time.
There are Many instances where i would like to know exactly which files/folders have been altered.
Yesterday I stumbled on the perfect little [elegant?] solution for this sort of thing "File check MD5" (w00t w00t!)

"Jump to URL" help option in Vista
In my last Blog I talked about using the "Jump to Url" option included in windows Calculator to launch a command prompt by simply inserting file:///c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe as the URL.
Keep in mind a U.R.L. stands for "Uniform Resource Locator" and simply means a specific location for a given resource.
So While it is usually used in context as a location on the web this is not the case here.

Aquina said… - Sorry, but I didn't understand your question. In case you require a secure distribution you'd stick with Debian, Slackware or something like EnGarde Linux. Of couse you need to have a lot of know how. [L] is a good start for Debian. I recommend it bacause of it's superior package management system. What else do you wanna know about penetration testing? The name of the distribution you refered to is unknown to me. I think though, that Ubuntu should be roughly tested in productive environments, but that is more a matter of project management, assessments and thelike. Hardening our distro took more than one year.

- "Fedora Core" is ultimately outdated. The (new) Fedora releases from 7-10 are ok when it comes to up2date hardware support and usability. The repos also provide a lot of stuff. What I don't like is that functionality is broken much too often. That's why I decided to go to Canonical. ;-) We're running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server and a hardened Xubuntu 8.04 (called "Shield Edition" v1.0) fork on our clients.

univax said… - OK, I gave a try the XP admin password hack described at the link you mentioned but I really don't see this as being very useful or practical.
I did the test with VMware running XP Pro SP3. I set up 2 accounts; one admin and one limited user. The following are some of the problems I came across:
a) The response to mkdir temphack was "access denied". No way around this. I had to go back and upgrade the limited user account to an admin account before this would work. So what's the point really?
b) Continuing on anyway, del logon.scr at first appeared to complete correctly, but the response to ren cmd.exe logon.scr was that file with same name already exists. Checking the contents of the directory showed that logon.scr was still there. Openning Windows Explorer to view the system32 folder also showed logon.scr present. I right-clicked to deleted it from explorer, It disappeared. I tried the rename command again, but with same result. Opening explorer again showed logon.scr restored to the directory. Finally I decided to delete logon.scr and rename cmd.exe to logon.scr from explorer. I then typed exit at the prompt and closed the session.
c) The logon screen after closing the session did not allow me to enter the password for any user, so had to reboot. The result however was getting the normal logon screen again. No admin shell prompt. Logged on the user as normal. Nothing different seen. Checked the system32 directory and both cmd.exe and logon.scr had been automatically restored. (?)
d) Gave up on changing logon.scr and the next step a try, c:\net user username password . Successfully changed the admin password while logged in to the other user account (but of course this worked only because the normal user account had been previously elevated to admin priviledges).
e) Changing the admin password effectively wipes out the original password. No way to restore it again to it's previous value, unless you already know what it was.
f) Covering tracks: Besides copying the contents of the temphack directory back to system32, if this hack ever did work (which I now doubt), the article fails to mention that \temphack also should be removed afterwards. On the other hand, if you irreversibly change or erase the admin password it's pretty obvious to the administrator that the computer has been hacked.
Conclusions: Not very useful since you need admin rights anyway to do anything. Messing around with logon.scr and cmd.exe in this particular case doesn't seem to accomplish anything. Actually there were several comments on the website where this was posted debating its usefulness. Also, if there was ever anything to this, note that the article is from 2006, and so Microsoft has had plenty of time to patch it (by automatically restoring cmd.exe and logon.scr if deleted for example? I don't know this for sure, just looked that way to me in my test.)
Don't think I'll ever use or recommend this hack, but it was fun trying to check it out. Let me know if you come across something else possibly interesting.

Maxx said… - David, thanks for the direction. I was jus thinking all these hack tricks, if they should be called so r very usually very successfull only on stand alone sys, maybe 90% times only. I tried escalating one of the stand alone sys from guest to system acc, but it didnt work out. The biggest of the challenge is to escalate privilages from a user acc in domain logged computer to systems acc. tat wld be some real hacking !! we have resources, it needs research and direction, so i believe u wld like to initiate ?

- Hi,
Yes, I saw your new blog post about the url jump effect in Vista. Let's see if you get any more feedback on it.
The new admin shell hack you referred to looks interesting. I'll give it a try on a Windows VM I've set up when I get a chance. I'm wondering though about whether simply copying back the contents of the /temphack folder is sufficient to cover your tracks. What about the admin passwd that was changed to get it? Is it also reset to its original value when restoring back the orginal cmd.exe and logon.scr files? If so, fine. But if not, that's a clear sign someone's been in, even if the entry method is covered. I'll play around with it this weekend maybe when I have time.
Thanks.

- I think that the important thing about url jumps is that they are accessible from programs/accessories available to users from the Start menu, perhaps even if they don't have admin priviledges. I'm sure it has its limits, but deserves more investigation.
