You're following someone's footsteps and don't even know it.
This is years beyond the statute of limitations so I can finally talk about it - in my youth I broke into one of LANL's servers for kicks; some Lotus/IBM Domino machine, saw nothing of interest except for a project directory which even the admin didn't have access to... I didn't want to escalate privileges any further because it'd require permanent changes and would probably trip a flag - but then I found a bizarre folder.
Someone coded a series of directories within Domino and made a maze game, maybe a Zork 'lite'. I spent a few minutes exploring and got bored.
- wheybags 6y agoHa, interesting! Would you be interested in sharing more details? (How you got in, for exwmple)
- Lorin 6y agoBarely remember... I think it was some staff/user directory listed within robots.txt, which also happened to not verify edit credentials on the backend so I was able to 'borrow' a login from a backup admin :) Plenty of similar stories about other better known orgs/corps but this isn't the venue for those :)
