WHAT IS NETCRACK?

NetCrack--the Advanced NetWare Security Cracker--is a


software utility for use with networks operating under the
Novell Advanced NetWare network operating system. The
NET$OS.EXE file is patched so that the security information
created with SYSCON is disabled. NetCrack is compatible
with Advanced NetWare 86 and Advanced NetWare 286 Versions
1.00 through 2.15.
HOW DOES NETCRACK WORK?

NETCRACK (TM) installs patches io the NET$OS.EXE file to


disable use of the security information created with SYSCON.
Security data is maintained in the files NET$BIND.SYS and
NET$BVAL.SYS located in SYS:SYSTEM. NETCRACK will not
damage the existing security files. The original security
may be restored by invoking the original unpatched
NET$OS.EXE.

NETCRACK may be used to gain access to a fileserver when the


SUPERVISOR password is unknown. It is necessary to have a
copy of NET$OS.EXE from SYS:SYSTEM or to generate a new
operating system with the correct driver set. This backup
copy of NET$OS.EXE is the target file for the NETCRACK
utility.

To use NETCRACK, boot DOS on the fileserver. Execute


NETCRACK. Select the CRACK option from the menu with
the backup copy of NET$OS.EXE as the target. CHECKSUM
the patched operating system. Then invoke the patched
NET$OS.EXE from Drive A:. This will bring up NetWare.
LOGIN as SUPERVISOR from any workstation. PASSWORD is not
required. The NET$BIND.SYS and NET$BVAL.SYS files may be
flagged Read/Write (RW) and deleted. Then invoke the
original unpatched operating system, login as SUPERVISOR,
and setup new security with SYSCON.

If using NETGEN to create a backup operating system, the


NET$OS.EX1 and NET$OS.EX2 files must be concatenated as
follows:
COPY/B NET$OS.EX1+NET$OS.EX2 NET$OS.EXE

If using NETGEN with high capacity diskettes, NET$OS.EX1 is


the target for NETCRACK.

If you only have 360K diskette drives available, you may use
the program SPLIT to split your patched NET$OS.EXE into two
pieces which will fit on 360K diskettes.
