I’m going to show you how you can smoothly hack a Windows Administrator password using Linux. You will only need a Live CD, and for this example, we will utilize Ubuntu. Also, I assume that you have the basic knowledge on using the Linux command line.

Here is my question: Are “cyEma7;IkmH!” or “hot1BA-Bitso69” secure passwords? Yes definitely, but who (the hell) can remember it! YOU WILL - after reading this article!

Your passwords play a crucial role in protecting your computing accounts and the personal information that can be accessed through them.

One of the problems with passwords is that users forget them. For that reason people use simple password phrases like their dog’s name, their kid’s first name and birthdates, the name of the current month or everything in different combinations.

USAGE:

    Unix:  awk '/pattern/ {print "$1"}'    # standard Unix shells

history is a very useful command in Linux, because it helps you remember the commands you have used in the past.

Well, the way most of people use it, is by typing

In the shell, and then copying the command to use it again, but there are some other ways, CTRL+R is another one, but there is also another one, and is to navigate in the list of history commands, using the index it has.

Here is how to do it.

Bootchart is a clever little tool that runs in the background as Linux boots. It collects details of all processes started along with disk usage and CPU statistics, and saves them to a log file. But that’s not all. It then runs a small Java application that turns the log file into a highly readable performance chart …

Ubuntu uses a script to pre-process certain file types before passing them to less. By default, this already handles quite a few types of files, but you might like to tweak it to get some fancier results.

I’ve been running 64-bit Ubuntu now for years and have occasionally had problems when I wanted to install a 32-bit application. I could use the –forceall option to dpkg to force the installation, but there were often missing 32-bit library files. The install of notes 8 client was a good example of this. There is now a solution thanks to a post on ubuntuforums. There’s a getlibs package that will do exactly what you need it to do - install the 32-bit libs without installing anything else. I came across this when installing skype at home and I must say it should make like much easier when installing the new lotus notes 8.0.1 client that I see is now available!
