Break the login password protection

On seeing the statistics of this blog, i came to know that most of the visitors are interested in reading articles regarding hacking. So, here is my next article in HACKING. Lets go in “Break the login password protection”.

Most of us will be storing our valuable data in a system and by creating a login and password protection, we will be thinking that our data are too secure. Even without knowing our password and without any tricks or codes, it is easy to get access to the data we are storing in our system.

Here are the step by step instructions to get access to the data(image, movie, documents etc etc) which are password protected.

1. Eventhough linux is a safe OS, we prefer working in windows and we don’t get tired of getting updates for our antivirus. You will be amazed if you know that linux breaks the windows login password protection and reveals all the data in the system.

2. Imagine that your friend have saved some project related documents in his system in his login with password protection. You don’t know his password. But you need the project documents right now. And your friend is not available and he is not reachable through phone also. So, you need to break his login password.

3. Take a ubuntu OS cd. (Ubuntu OS cd is available even free. Visit https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ for requesting to send a Ubuntu OS cd to your address completely free of cost.)

4. Switch on the system and insert the Ubuntu OS cd. Enter the option to run the CD. In default the CD will be run. Else, restart the system.

5. While the OS cd is running, it will ask for the option regarding the work to be done. Go to the option “TRY UBUNTU WITHOUT ANY CHANGES IN THE SYSTEM”

6. Installation process will run for some time. Then the system will work directly from the Ubuntu cd in ubuntu os mode. It will also be similar to windows. So no problem.

7. From then, you can get access to the data in the system. So, now you have breaked the login password protection.

8. If your friend had protected the particular document using another passwords, then there is another step we have to do. There are lot of softwares to break the password protection of .pdf, .doc formats. But those .exe format softwares won’t run in Ubuntu os. So, take the data from your friend’s system to your system. Run the password breaking softwares in your system and you’ve done. You’ve now received the needed data from your friend’s system.

9. And if you think that anyone can get your valuable data from your system by implementing the above steps, i suggest you to do a new protection. I prefer you to use “CRYPTOGRAPHY” softwares. So you can encrypt your document before saving it. Even if a hacker gets your document, since it is encrypted, he and also you cannot understand the data without decrypting.

Incase of CRYPTOGRAPHY software, only if the password given during the encryption and decryption is same, the original data can be obtained.
