- VIII. Screwing with the most secure operating system on the net
- (VAX/VMS Hacking)
-
- WHAT IS VAX/VMS?
-
- VAX: Virtual Address eXtension. Computer is desisgned to use memory
- addresses beyond the actual hardware and can therefore run progs
- larger than physical memory. Developed by Digital Equipment
- Corporation (DEC).
-
- VMS: Virtual Memory System. Also developed by DEC.
-
- DCL: Digital Command Language. Similar to DOS batch language or
- UNIX script language.

- WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BASIC COMMANDS FROM THE "$" PROMPT?
- @: executes a DCL program
- usage- @filename.com
- ACCOUNTING: program that tracks usage of the system by users
- CREATE: PASCAL compiler
- usage- CREATE filename.pas
- CREATE/DIR: create a subdirectory
- DEL: delete files
- usage- DEL filename.ext
- DIR: list the contents of a directory
- options- /FULL = full listing with all security info
- /BRIEF = brief listing
- * = wildcard for anything
- % = wildcard for a specific character
- EDIT: VMS editor, requires VT-220 terminal
- HELP: brings up help info
- LOGOUT: obvious
- MAIL: send E-mail locally and to any connected networks
- $PASSWORD: change your password
- usage- $PASSWORD newpassword
- PHONE: chat program
- usage- PHONE changes the prompt to a '%', from there type in
- the username you wish to talk to. If the user is on a
- different node then enter nodename::username
- PHOTO: record session
- RUN: execute an executable file
- SHOW: lets you look at alot of different stuff
- usage- SHOW option
- options- CLUSTER = VAX cluster, if any
- DEFAULT = directory path and device
- DEVICES = system devices (drives, modems, etc.)
- INTRUSION = accounts being hacked, if any
- MEMORY = obvious
- NETWORK = network name and VAX's location in it
- PROCESS = PROCESS processname shows status
- QUOTA = disk space available for account
- SYSTEM = system info
- DAY = obvious
- TIME = obvious
- USERS = online users
- TYPE: display file on terminal (same as DOS 'type' and UNIX 'cat')
- SET FILE/PROTECTION: sets the Read/Write/Execute/Delete flags
- usage- SET FILE/PROTECTION=OWNER[RWED] filename.ext
- options- WORLD, GROUP, or SYSTEM can be used in place of OWNER
- WORLD = all users in your world
- GROUP = all users in your group
- SYSTEM = all users with SYSPRV privileges
- SET TERMINAL: controls terminal settings
- usage- SET TERMINAL/option
- options- WIDTH=80 = set width to 80 columns
- ADVANCED_VIDEO = selects 124x24 lines
- NOADVANCED_VIDEO = unselects 124x24 lines
- ANSI_CRT = selects ANSI escape sequences
- NOANSI_CRT = unselects ANSI escape sequences
- AUTOBAUD = allows computer to select highest possible
- baud rate
- NOAUTOBAUD = turn off automatic baud selection
- BROADCAST = allows receipt of SEND, MAIL and PHONE
- messages
- NOBROADCAST = prevents receiption of SEND, MAIL and
- PHONE messages
- DEVICE_TYPE=VT220 = set terminal type to VT-220
- ECHO = enables echoing from DCL command line
- NOECHO = disable DCL command line echoing
- FULLDUP = enable full duplex
- NOFULLDUP = disable full duplex
- HANGUP = log off if no carrier
- NOHANGUP = don't log off even if no carrier
- INQUIRE = show device type of terminal
- PAGE=43 = set display length to 43 lines
- TYPE_AHEAD = enable type ahead function
- NOTYPE_AHEAD = disable type ahead function
- UNKNOWN = use for ASCII device types
- WRAP = set wrap around feature
- NOWRAP = unset wrap around feature
