Re: Hope conference talk on hacking the AS/400

Wouldn't most of the hacks known about the iSeries be already posted at 
their website?  I had heard that they posted the standard user profiles 
and default passwords.  There are several other hacks, especially to 
systems running under level 30 and below.

Re: Hope conference talk on hacking the AS/400






I read a document the other day about a guy who "found" this university
owned as/400 and used the default passwords to get in. I think that 
knowing
what hackers do to break into a system and knowing how yourself, will give
you a head up when coding security wise.
