~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ________ _____ ______ _______ |__ __|/ _ \| _ \| __| | | | (_) | |_) /|__ | |__| \_______/|___|\___\_______| guide to hacking PC hotline servers. intro. hotline servers are usually ran by stupid 10-16 yr olds that know nothing about security. When you are in your hacking mode change your name. DUH! If you are at a server with lots of people, works good to change your name to blank and your icon to blank. Just put some spaces in the name box, and change the icon by pressing alt+F12. Put the word 'icon' in the top text field, and put some huge number in the bottom. Like 5953344389 (it doesn't matter, just some huge number). Or loggin, get the name of the admin and change your name to his. They might think it is a ghost or a friend fooling them for a sec. Or even better yet, get the name of an admin that just left the place. 1. Ok, now that we have the name thing down, on to the fun part. The first way I started hacking was to look up and down the tracker list for sites that looked really really lame, or had no description. Try to log in to one of these. if you can, and there is there a message that says something like "This server is not registered blah blah blah.." you're prolly in luck. Do the name thing, and log back in, but this time- hold alt down while you click on the tracker description. This will bring up a window. for the user name, type admin. Leave the password blank. Did you get logged in? if you did you should have all the privliges. Move to number -4-> 2. Some admins make a list of all of their users on folders in the files folder. go into it if they have one. Write some names down that sound purdy lame. now log out and try some password that might fit them. Once i logged into an account with a user name moonman, the password was man. how stupid. oh well. i got some purdy good software on that private server that day. AND i made a guy lose his account this way may not give you all access to the server, but it will some privs. When you are done, if you can.. delete some stuff, spam the news with obscene things, and make folders here and there saying the admin is gay and stuff. 3 (PC SERVERS ONLY)Found a server you want to hack? Get an account with upload and rename privs. Now you can make some links to say.. the server folder?! just make the folder where you want to go on his puter on your puter, make a link to it. rename the link (in DOS) so it doesn't have the .lnk file extension. Now it is uploadable. upload it, and rename it with a .lnk extension. But when you rename it, b sure to rename it like this: "filename.lnk." <-- c the period at the end? that will be truncated by windows. Hotline won't let you rename the file with a plain .lnk . 4.) ok, now you are in. 1 st thing you do is make a link to the hlclient folder (usually c:\hlclient) . YES, the client folder. here you will steal all of the guys BOOKMARKS or servers that he already has accounts at. Sneaky eh?. next you will upgrade your account. Get the hlserver on your puter and make your self a really nice admin profile. It will be located in the /hlserver/users/username/userdata.dat folder. keep this around, you will make a link the server you are hacking's server folder, open up the users folder and make a folder for yourself (name it your username) and upload the userdata.dat into it. Great, now you have a full admin account. now lets start deleting accounts and modifying them. get info on the people with accounts and open their accounts up. change some stuff...ect ect.. you know what to do. now you can clean all of that bad illegal unethical warez out!!! :) but.. before you leave you disconnect all the other users (Ban them by holding the alt key down while you are doing the disconnect.). Next you will delete the logs in the server folder so there is no evidence that you were even there. then dissconect really fast so a log can't be created agian. and that's it! now wasn't that fun? if you have any more hacking techniques, please email me them at iedunno@hotlmail.com
