- WHAT DOES A VAX LOOK LIKE: (quickly)
- =========================
-
- When you log into a VAX, you will see something similar to the
- following:
-
- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
- WELCOME
-
- TO THE
-
- AT&T MICROVAX II SYSTEM
-
- Username: (username here)
- Password: (password here... does not echo)
-
- $ (<-- this is your prompt)
- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
-
- You will know if you have a VAX type system if you get the
- "Username:" and "Password:" prompts. Anything is just extra that
- helps you guess passwords.
-
- GETTING IN A VAX BY ERROR:
- =========================
-
- I will only tell you one thing here. VMS 4.X and especially
- VMS4.4 are goldmines. I am not going to go into this at all,
- because it is a lengthy explanation that doesn't fit in the scope
- of this message. You can find this discussion on ARPANET and
- USENET. You can also get this information on CompuServe
- Information Service, BYTE Information Exchange, and Digital
- Electronics Corporation's VAX BBS. There is also a big problem
- with VMS 5.1, but that doesn't involve getting in. If there are
- enough requests, I will cover this information in another mes-
- sage.
-
- GETTING IN A VAX BY DEFAULT:
- ===========================
-
- There are several default accounts that were put in by DEC
- when testing and installing the VAX. These accounts have pass-
- words which don't change from system to system. The SYSOP should
- have removed these accounts or changed the passwords, but it is
- not done a lot of times. Below, I have listed several defaults:
-
- USERNAME PASSWORD
- -------- --------
- DECNET DECNET
- * SYSTEST UETP
- SYSTEST
- SYSTEM SYSTEM
- DEFAULT DEFAULT
- * FIELD FIELD
- OPERATIONS OPERATIONS
- * SUPPORT SUPPORT
- DEC
- SYSTEST_CLIG CLIG
- SYSTEST
- TEST
-
- Where I have listed several passwords, I have found the re-
- spective usernames passworded that way as much as the default
- password. The accounts with asterisks beside them are powerful
- accounts by default.
