HAKC THE GISBON

1N TH1S L1T7LE 7H1NGK 1 W1LL DT3ACH Y0U HOW TO H4CK TH3 G1BSON.

M0ST GIBO0SNS NOW ADAYS RUN LUNIX WHICH IS A POWERRFULL OPERATING
STUYSTEM FOR GIBSONS. THERE ARE TWO FORMS OF LUNIX: GUI INTERFACE, AND
CONSOLE COMMAND PROMPT

I WILL SPEEK O FBOTH FO THESE TOPICS.

FIRST, HOWEVER, WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF A GIBSON. AG
IBSON IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A HUGE BUILDING, WITH LIGHTNING THAT COMES
DOWN THE SIDES EVERYONECE IN A WHILE. IT IS USUALLY RAN BY A BEARDED
RAT, WITH THE GUY FROM PENN ANTELLER AS HIS ASSISTANT. GIBSONS USUALLY
HAVE VERY VALUBLE INFORMATION IN THERE 'GARBAGE' FILES SO MAKE SURE
YOU LOOK THROUGH THOSE FIRST... THEY MIGHT HAVE 'WORMS' IN THEM
THOUGH, SO WATCH OUT.

GIBSON HARD DRIVES ARE ALL OPTICAL, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT THAT
DOSENT MATETER, BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME SHIT IN THEM

GUI GIBSON LUNIX INTERFACE:

THE FIRST THING YUOU NEED WHEN HAKCIGN A LUNIX GUI INTERFACE IS A GOOD
COOKIE MMONSTER VIRUS, IT WOULD ALSO HELP IF YOU WERE REALLY
ATTRACTIVE AND WORE ALL PLASTIC BUT THE COOK IE MOTHSTER FIRUS WOULD
BEE GODO. YEWS YOUR 'EYE MOUSE' TO CONTROLL YOUR P6 MAC LAPTOP, AND
PUT THE COOKIE MONSTER VIRUS OPN THE GIBSON

HACKING THE GIBSON CAN BE QUITE A DEMANDING TASK. BUT IF YOU DO IT
WRIHGHT, IT CAN BE VERY REWARDING, FOR EXAMPLE: IF YYou HACK THE
GIBSON, YOU CAN BECOME A REALLY ELTIE HACKER AND BE AN CERRTIFIED IRC WARIOR...
ENOUGH ABOUT THE LUNIX GUI THOUGH... LETS TALK ABOUT THE CONSOLE
COMMAND INTERFACE

LUNIX COMMAND INTERFACE GIBSON HACKING:

LUNIX IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFULL OPERATING SYSTEMS NOW ADAYHDS, IT'S
5000 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THEN UNIX OR LINUX, AND IT'S ONLY 3
MEGABYTES. HERE ARE SOME GIBSON LUNIX HACKING COMMANDS:

lunix$ hack the gibson

THAT ONE HACKS THE GIBSON COMPLETELY FOR YOU... BUT THERE ARE MORE
STUFF INDEATIL HERE

lunix$ send jamming signal

THIS JAMS SIGNALS AROUND THE GIBSON. THIS TEKNEEK WAS ALSO
DEMONSTRATED IN MISSION IMMPOSOBLE THE MOVIE. ON A MAC WITH A GIBSON
INTERFACE AS WELL.

lunix$ hack the tv station <channel>

THIS ONE ALLOWS ACCESS TO THE T NETWORK NEAREST TO YOU. IT CONEECTS TO
IT, AND CAN BE USED TO HAK THE STATION, AND CHANGE PROGRAMS. IT IS
VERY USEFULL IF YOU WANT TOT SEE BEVERLY HILLBIBLLY RERUNS.

lunix$ start nuclear war <country1> <country2> [country3]

<INFORMASTION ON THSIM COMMAND WITHHELLD TO MAINTIAIKN NATIONAL SECURITUY>

N0W W3 C0V3R TH3 DYN4M1CS OF LUNIX PROGR4MMING.

H3R3 IS AN AEXAMPLE OF A PROGRAM WRITTEN TO COMPLETELY HAK THE GIBSON.
TH1S SHOULD B3 COMP1LED W1TH "GIBSONCC" FOR LUNIX

begin hak:

{

initiate -m (gibson-lunix haq sequence);

void;(null haqlu);

check gibson: GARBAGE(FILE); HACK THAT; DOWNLOAD INIT;

}

void main.gibson hack;

command-cookie-monster;

{

usnggned long int _4SM_ {
MOVL ESP EAX
]

SEARCH FOR: HAX PHILES {

HAX

PING

NOOKr

pr0n

RAW PORK

PFT

}

exit;

THAT PROGRAMS HACKS THE GIBSON, AND THEN GETS YOU
HACK PHILEZ. THIS ISN JUST ONE OFMTHE MOSRE SIMPLE PROGMRWMAMS WRITREN FOR
HACKKIIGKJN THE GIBNSONM. HOWEVRE, QWHEN YOU GETF INTO MORE COMPELX HAKING LIKE WHEN THEW SYSMTEM ADMINISTREATOR KNPOWS WHAT HESZ DOIJNMG, YOU MUST OFTEN HACXK THE KERBNEL ITSELF. HERE IS ANS EXMAPLE OF HOW TO HAVCK THE EKRNLL

$ WHOAMI?
ACID BURJN

$ ID
GIBSON ID = 69 USER ID = SUPER HACKEWR

NWOW, I PROVCEED TO HACK THEM KERWNEL... FIRST WE OPENM THE GIBOSDON TEXT ERDITOR, WHICH IS NAMESDD "TEXT-EDITOR"

$ TEXT-EDITOR

:w GISBON-HACK.HTML++
*** 21 LIENS WRITTEN ***

THIS CODE WILL GIVE YOU A GRAPHICAL USEMR INTERFACE POIJNT AND CLICK GATEWAY TO HACKIJNG THE KENREL. YU KAN ALSO GO SURF THE WEBV WITH YAHOO WITH THISJ PROGRAMM, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THUISK ARTICULE. OK, NOW YOU JMUST FGIND THE LIONES IN THE KENREL TO RMEROVE IN ORDE R TO MAKE THIS A SUCCENSNFUL HACK. GO INTO /SRC/KERNEL.C AND FIND THE FOLLWOINGN LINES

ANTIHACK PROTRDCTION {
VOID MAIN (HACK) { SUID-WRAPPERZ(AKCITNIVATED); }

DELETENTHEM IMMGEDIATELY AND RMECOMPILE THE KERNEL. THNE COMEPILE YOUR PROGRAM:

$ HTMLCC GISBON-HACK.HTML++ -o TEXT-EDITOR <-- YOU NAME IT TESXT EDITOR SO THEAT THE SYSTME ADMINSTIRATOR DOESD NT SUDSPECT ANYTHIJGN.

OK, NOWM YOU EXSECUTRE THE PROGRAM:

$ ./TEXT-EDITOR

GIBSON-SH1.11101.12# WHOAMI?
ASMDINISTRATOR

GIBSON-SH1.11101.12# ID
USER ID = SYDSTYEM ADMINSTRATORL GISBON ID = GOD

THISM IS OEN EXAMPLED< OF HOW T OHAC< K A GIBSON. WE AR ENOT AIMING TO TEACH PEOPLE<D<HOW TO HACK THIS SORT OF COMPTUER< WE JUST WANT TO TEACH SYUSTEM ADMINSITRATORS HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FORM MALICISOUI HACKEIRS. IF YOU WOULD LIEK ME TO WORK FOR YOJU IN NETRWORK SECURITY, EMAIL ME, AND ILL HGET BACK TO KYOU... I CAN ALSDO WRITE AWREOSME WEBPAGEES AND DO SECREATEARY WORK (I TYPEL 200 WORDS PE R MINUTE WITH VERY LITTLE< TYPOS) THANSK FOR READING THSI AND I HOPE THAT MORE SYSTME ADMINSITRATORS WILL BE ABLE TO AVOIDKJ ATTACKS SUCH AS THERSE WITHJ THE KNOWEDLGE GAINED FROM HTHIS ARTICVLE.
