Hack-a-Firewall-HOWTO

Written By: Tom on February 21, 2002 1,127 Comments

Did I mention that I had to help a customer hack into their firewall because they couldn’t remember their password? Oh, I guess I didnt. Well, yesterday, I got a phone call from one of my customers (whom shall remain nameless) telling me that their ISP came over and changed the way their DSL connection works and needs to change the network configuration on their firewall. The IT manager at their location didn’t know anything about managing their firewall that’s why they called me! Unfortunately, neither of us knew the password to the box (they chose the password originally and I don’t make a point of remembering customer’s passwords unless they ask me to do so). It was 12:30PM, I had an interview with a reporter at 2:30 and they were 45 minutes away. Even if it only took me 10 minutes to fix the problem, I didn’t feel comfortable with getting back so close to the interview. The only solution, lead a semi non-technical person with no Linux/Unix experience through the process of breaking into their box and resetting the root password. I won’t go into the gory details, but we did it (it’s actually quite easy since we had physical access to the box). What a positive moment!

    So far every1 I have seen on this site is FUCKING RETARDED. Most of you mother fukers posting here barely know how to turn a fukin’ computer on!!! It’s sad, I can tell who the n00000000000bs are, just by the posts. Like that 1 dumbass who posted their account/pass to runescape? What a fukin’ moron. I have never seen some 1 write something that fukin’ stupid on ANY thread. DAMN… Just reading like 3 or 4 entries to this thread makes me laugh, then cry after realizing how fukin’ stupid 98% of you are… But I feel sorry for you sad ball lickers, so here’s the deal (and i’m talkin in stupid language for all of you retards):
    To hack a firewall: You MUST be able to connect to the internet via broadband… That means that your computer DOESN’T have to make a phone call. What you do (for windows XP users only) is you click on the start menu. You then click on settings, then control panel. Switch it to ‘Classic View’ unless it is allready set that way. From here double click on ‘Administrative Tools’ and double click on ’services’. Here you should see a bunch of jibber jabber. Every item listed here is making your school network block you so you should RIGHT click on every 1 that says ’started’ under ’status’ and click on ‘properties’. Here you should click the drop down box and select disabled. After they are all disabled restart your computer. If this doesn’t work, you will have to go to ‘network connections’ under the control panel. Right click on each icon here individually and go to ‘properties’. Then highlight TCP/IP and click remove. It will ask you if you are sure so click yes! That’s it! You should now be 100* more fucked and retarded as b4!!!
    Props to Ownage to the power of 100

  13. Fixer says on: 29 September 2004 at 2:30 pm

    ok i have read and read this forum. Here is the answer.
    Go to google.com
    the click on preferences
    then set the language to spanish an d unclick english
    type in something random and it will give you thhese dumb web pages.
    translate one
    and then once translate backspance n the adresse bar everytything between these two:
    de&u= (the web page you translated will be here(
    and /&prev=/search
    so you delete the web page name that in translate and put in the page you want and wola you have your page.
    NOW THIS WORKS FOR ONLY MY SCHOOL BLOCKER I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR ANY TROUBLE YOU OR WILL GET IN.
    NOTE if this doesnt work just try a different language.
