QiC issue 3: The Magic Letter To Account Passwords
The Magic Letter To Account Passwords
By Apothecary [QiC]
If you are on some boring every-day legitimate ShareWare-CD BBS's, and want to totally fuck with the sysop/users, heres a simple way to do it. Most users on legitimate boards are dumb, and have no idea what is going on. After reading this small text file, you will be able to get multiple passwords/account names with the least amount of work possible.
Now, on this BBS, make an account especially for this hacking purpose (Fake info, duh!).
There is just one catch to this method. THE SYSOP MUST NOT BE AT HOME FOR THE LENGTH OF THIS HACK! The sysop COULD be home, just hope he doesn't check logs/read private mail to other people to often. The length of the hack is up to you. You will know what I mean after the following:
- 1st. Call the BBS a day or two after you make the account. Change your account Handle/Real name to either "SYSOP" or the sysops name or something like that so the users think YOU are the sysop of the target BBS.
- 2nd. Leave mail to all the users you wish to get account names/passwords from. Mass mail to all would be a nice thing.
This is the message you will send. Im using the name 'Bob Retard' as the sysop name and the BBS name is 'Bobs Sex Emporium'
Letter:
'Dear User:Within the past 3 days, some one has managed to hack this BBS. In the process, he downloaded/stole some data files containing multiple account name/passwords. As Sysop of Bobs Sex Emporium, i am sorry for the inconvenience, and take FULL resposibility, as until the hacker is caught. I am telling you this because we THINK that your account was in the data file that was stolen. We are not positive, but we are taking precautions. What we need you to do is reply to this message with your current account name and current password, and the password you would like to be using in the future on this BBS. All users MUST do this to prevent the hacker to call under an account already present on the BBS. You are not in danger as of right now, and your chances of danger are decreased if you send us this info so we can change your password.
Sorry for everything. I hope this can be straightened out immediately.
Sincerely,
Bob Retard
Sysop: Bobs Sex Emporium

Welp, give it as long as you want, and laugh as the passwords come flowing into your possession. If it is a very active BBS, you can call back in a few hours to read the mail and pick up a few, or you could give it a week or so and get em all at once, in one big fucking package. BUT - The longer you wait, the more of a chance you have for the real sysop to figure out whats going on.
Have fun!
