Things to do after access 


I think in this paper we have covered most of the things  you cando after
access, so I will make this in the style of a checklist from a to z.

a. learn who the admin's a re on the system
b. watch the system with ps -auxe and ps -auxef (if it works) and pstreeto
   try and keep track of what others are doing
c. read all of the bash history files or any history files you can findon the
   mac hine to learn more yourself, and to learn about the users
d. make as many backdoor's into the system as you can that you are surewill
   not be found out
e. keep the access to yourself, don't give out users passwords on the machine
& nbsp;  you get root on.
f. always clean your utmp and wtmp right away when you login
g. always clean your mess as you go along, this includes your xferlog and
   messages
h. if you have root access make sure to read /etc/syslog. conf and
   /etc/login.defs to see how the system is logging
i. before changing binary files look at the root cron to see what theyare
   running.
j. look for md5 on the system
k. look for separate ftp logs
l. make su re to clean the www logs if you ever send phf commands to theserver
m. make an suid root shell and place it somewhere on the system
n. do only what you are sure of, don't do everything in this hacking manualall
   at once or you are ask ing to get caught
o. only use nested directories, do not put files into user directorieswhere
   all they need to do is type ls to see them
p. don't add user accounts and think they will not notice you.
q. don't use pine or other mai l programs to read users mail. if you wantto
   read mail go to the mail dir and read it from unix, new mailyou will find
   in /var/spool/mail read it there.
r. don't change the system so that other programs they have running willnot
   work any more, they will be on you like fly's on shit
s. don't delete files on the system unless you put them there
t. do not modify their web pages, like i was here ... you are not a hackeryou
   are a little k id wanting attention
u. do not change any passwords on the system (unless you are doing it for
   access and have backed up the passwd file and replace it rightafter you
   login
v. do not use any root account machines for irc access, or to load a boton
w. if your root account changes or you create files that are owned by the
   wrong group, be sure to chown the files
x. do not use .rhosts if there is already one there that is being used
y. never telne t or ftp to your account from the hacked box
z. don't fuck up their machine! only do what you know how to do.
