blödsinn, das kannst du mit jeder live cd auch machen, musste dich nur entsprechend ins debian chrooten. bei ubuntu gehts sogar noch einfacher, da lässt sich ne “rettungsshell” starten in der man dann gleich aufm root prompt landet. bei mac os ist es ähnlich einfach.
A PC you can sit in front of is NEVER secure. There are boot CDs et cetera…
you can secure GRUB against this, but you never can secure a machine you can access.
You could also connect to the hard disk the root partition is on and run a chroot, then doing the passwd thing…
and so on.
Nice trick this, but this kind of “insecurity” is nothing brand new.
no matter what does hacker and hacking means, linux is secure, and its only enemy is the linux-installer disc (and as we can now see, the unpassworded grub). But how can you find anything in a directory, which is chmodded for only root to see/modify, and where’s a primeencrypted grub password primeencrypted root password and a primeencrypted ext3/4 partition is working?
People these days use the word Hacker incorrectly. originally hackers were a kind of programmer usually working under some kind of unix-like system. they were the ones who brought up and maintained the internet when it was still young. Then a group of “bad guys” who should be called: “crackers”, and “black hats” were breaking into servers and getting all the attention. They called themselves hackers and as a result, the media and every other idiot on this planet incorrectly uses the term hacker.
I learned this during my CS Degree. That is the only definition that computer literate people use.
If you want to talk about illegally accessing a mainframe – then state that – it’s not called hacking though. I’ve already explained to you what that is…
There are different definitions for hacking. It can be classified as modification to software that is allowed or not, modifying one’s system, or gaining unauthorized access to another system.
Oh great…
Now mount hard disk with Live CD , chroot and change password is hack too?
Holly crap.
@Arkblu Even with root access “sudo rm -R /” just says access denied.
I have the grub bootloader set up so it doesn’t show up and the first choice is always the one immediately booted.
This of course CAN be changed but changing it would require being able to log in as root.
Besides that, this isn’t hacking. Its in the manual.
@voiser good one, hahaha
pretty well, hahaha…
Next step: Denial Of Service by using a hammer on the hard disk.
LOL at you.
I have 3 copies of Windows 7, 4 copies of XP, and yet Linux is better than all of them.
@niggrfack i bought windows, it was shit.
LOL, who is using linux???
this os is for loosers, who cant afford a windows
noob
lol u call thise hacking? lololol..give me ur id, i will rename you, when u wake up u will be mr.Jons
This doesn’t work with every distribution. Many distros have fixed issues like this and for example, sudo rm -rf /
This is lame. You should post a rootkit tutorial lol.
You wouldnt be able to do this unless you had physical or kvm/IPMI access to the machine.
Bei meiner Aussage hab ich vorausgesetzt, das nur das booten von Festplatte erlaubt ist.

umm if you say that that applies to all computers starting from ABACUS to IBM ROADRUNNER super computer!

Grub lässt sich mit einem Passwort absichern. Damit ist das hier nur möglich, wenn man das Passwort weiss.
and i thought linux was secure O.o! oh wait you have to be right in front of it for it to work!

i agree
Hacking is writing programs without a plan.

Besides its not even real cracking, it is a local, not remote system that you have permission to access.
