How to use a Cracker

[Admin]

1.How a cracker works...

-A cracker works by repeatingly sending passwords to where passwords are prompted. (login mechanisms)

-Crackers require password lists (aka dictionay files), which is triedsent to the target (server, username prompt)

-All a cracker does, is trying different combinations of words and numbers,until the correct password to the username is entered. (Crackers work on the possibility that one of the passwords they have in the password list is valid for the usernames they are trying to get.)

2.) Basics you need to know...

-Cracker's use either servers or proxies in cracking. For those who do not know what a proxy is, an ip adress is a simple way to describe it...

-A Cracker goes into a server's login mechanism to attempt to login and crack the designated screen name.

-Memory: occionally you will find a cracker w/ this time saving option Very few crackers have a memory option. It saves where you last were, instead of starting from the beginning of the password list.

-Alerts: when a name has been cracked, the cracker has away of alerting you, more common you will get sound alert. In other cases an Alert Window will pop up, similar to the one you see when you right click twice on Neo's website

-Password Options: This most often has'd to do w/ the caps in a password. p/w options can change the passwords to "ALL CAPS" or First "Letter Caps"

-Sockets - A cracker's speed is defined by it's # of sockets. From a begginer's stand point, you might think that setting your cracker for it's max # of sockets will allow you to crack screen names faster, but in retrospect, you will be cracking less because it will be skipping.

- Auto save is when you crack something it out saves it so if a problem occurr and it closes you have what you cracked saved.

-Alot of servers ban your ip if it is displayed w/ alot of failed attempts Of logging in. THIS IS WHY, you use multiple proxies. Proxies can get banned, but you can always find more of them.

-The name of the game that most people crack yahoo screen names is known as "brute forcing" Brute Forcing is the process of trying various passwords from a dictionary file (automatically), for a given username, until the password matches the username.

-In cracking, people that crack names look for usernames that the service no longer allows them to make, these discontinued names are called illegals (a.k.a Rares).

-You will also here about a group of cracked names called originals, example of this Would be "woody, farmer, warrior and potenant (you get the picture hence "original")

-On Id's, people that you see that appear to have spaces do not. Actually the name would have the addition charactor ( + ), For example Mr. Fubu would actually be Mr.+Fubu



3.) Tools you need for cracking...

-You need a cracker of course, I recommend crackers that use proxies.

-Don't bother going on some cracking website and downloading proxies from their text files. Most likely the they have proxies are no longer valid or leeched. (banned on most servers^)

-To find Proxies, you need two kinds of proxy scanners, one scanner to find proxies, and a scanner to check if those proxies are valid. (Writer's Note- Fubu`s Bouncer uses Proxinator and the scanner in Firewater Evolution to scan for proxies) <!--[endif]-->

-For Crackers that use servers, you would get a server scanner, you can find one in the cracking section of most yahoo cracking websites. Remember, if the cracker only uses servers w/out proxies, your ip address will get banned from those servers.

-These are not tools, but are required regardless. You need namelists aka dictionary files, and password lists, the password lists you choose are important on cracking specific names.

-If you are going to be cracking, you need password changers. You don't want to lose something tha'ya cracked right? I shouldn't even be telling you that... <!--[endif]-->

-You probably were curious about cracking because you wanted to own an illegal id, It will be hell to find illegals w/ just a cracker alone, you need a name scanner. the good name scanners will also search for that name with +'s _'s at the beginning or end. Periods are also an illegal charactor, and alot of id scanners will include _'s, +'s, .'s,



4.)How to Crack

This is the part that you have been waiting for, but will be very brief... <!--[endif]-->

-Select a cracker (I don't crack anymore, nor have the time, finding the latest crackers may depend on you checking new anti-yahoo websites through their affiliates and topsites.)

-Load a namelist (the names that you want to crack, I recommend a large list)

-Load a pw (password) list, you should have different kinds of password lists, such as common password lists, specified password lists (ex. would have passwords like pooh poohbear winnie piglet tigger, if they are cracking a winnie the pooh name)

-Once you have scanned for valid working proxies or servers, load them into the cracker (NOTE- THESE MUST BE VALID OF THE CRACKER WILL NOT WORK!!!!!)
