How to Hack Renegade (And how to prevent it)   by Creators of Darkness

┌──────────────────────────┐ │ How to Hack Renegade │ │ (And How to Prevent It!) │ └──────────────────────────┘ Ok.. here is how you can Hack Renegade.... First, go into the Archive Menu. This is usually /A from the File Menu. Type "T" to test archives... if they have their path like: C:\UPLOADS\CRAP Then you will simply have to guess. Try these paths: C:\BBS C:\RENEGADE C:\RENE C:\REN C:\RG C:\BBS2 C:\BBS3 C:\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS (I called a BBS once with that one!) Also, try those with drive D! If THAT doesn't work, try downloading AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS, it might be in there. If the run FrontDoor, try downloading C:\FD\EXEBBS.BAT, etc... Then type "X" for Extract Archive. EXAMPLE: C:\RENEGADE\RENEGADE.DAT C:\RENEGADE\DATA\USERS.DAT It will tell you that these are not valid archive types, and do you want to copy them? Yes, copy them to the temp dir. After you have copied the, type "W" for Work On Temp. Type D to download the files, and then hang up. Look at these 2 files. RENEGADE.DAT will tell you the system password, it will be something that couldn't be anything other then a password.. something like "LAURA" or "SEX" or something... Also, the password will be in all caps. Anyway, after you have looked in their for the system password, look in USERS.DAT. This will have a password also, something in all caps. Get this, and a phone number.. GOOD! Call back, and type in "1" for the Sysop's account, then type in the password. If it asks for the password, type it in. With Renegade, it will not ask for the system password until you have gotten the password and phone # right... Type this in.. Note that in Telegard, and some others, it will ask you the system password whether you get the rest correct or not. Ok.. once you are in, press * to go to the Sysop menu in Renegade (usually). type "D" to drop to MiniDOS (Usually!), and go into a directory called TRAP, or LOGS, or something to that effect. Then delete SYSOP.LOG, so they don't know what you have done.. Then, go into the DATA directory, and delete LASTON.DAT do that they don't know that you have logged on so many times. Then format their hard drive, or whatever.. SYSOPS! Here is how you can prevent this. Limit access to the archive menu to level 255! ┌─────────────────┐ │ - Quark - │ │ Nebula Systems │ │ 908-572-5952 │ │ Call After 11 │ └─────────────────┘
