*BETA* Remote Hacking *BETA*
NOT FUNCTIONING YET!
X-Setup has a feature that allows you to connect a different computer and use the
plug-ins and wizards on this machine. Altough this feature has some limitations, it's
still very powerful: You can hack every machine that has Windows NT and that can be
reached through your network.
Limitations
- Both computers must have Windows NT (either Workstation or Server)
- Only registry commands to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE and HKEY_USERS are
valid
- INI commands or file commands will fail totally
- Maye slow, depending on your network traffic
Connections
If you have problems connecting a machine, it is possible that there is an ACL defined
for the winreg value that is descriped below. If you are part of the
"Administrators" group for the computer you are trying to connect, modifying the
ACL shouldn't be necessary.
Note also that winreg is only checked on the machine that is connected. Let's say, you
are using machine A to connect to machine Z, winreg will only be checked on Z and NOT on
A.
winreg
Windows uses the ACL for winreg to determine who can connect to the
Registry from another computer.
- If winreg is in the Registry, the ACL for winreg determines which users can connect to
the Registry remotely. To connect to the Registry, users must have at least read/write
permission, including permission to create subkeys and set values
- If winreg does not appear in the Registry, all users can connect to the Registry
remotely
Winreg is located in the following Registry path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg
You need either this value by hand, or simply execute WINREG.REG
that is located in the same directory as this file. This file will add winreg to the
registry.
To modify the ACL for winreg
- Start Regedt32
- Navigate to the above mentioned path
- Click the winreg subkey to select it.
- On the Security menu, click Permissions. The ACL for winreg appears in the Registry Key
Permissions dialog box.
- Click the Add button in the Registry Key Permissions dialog box.
- Add the user to the winreg ACL and give the user read access. For detailed instructions,
click the Help button in the Registry Key Permissions dialog box.
- Double-click the name of the user you just added.
- In the Special Access dialog box, select the Set Value and Create Subkeycheck boxes.
- Click OK, and then click OK again to close the dialog boxes.
