Comments: This is a short file that I thought I would release. Since
the size of the file is not important..
AIX Unis system difference in several ways from a normal based Unix system.
AIX has two password files that stores the security information you will
need to modify to obtain root shell access.
AIX's Makusr program is one of the worst I have encountered but it will
give the avererage hacker some trouble.
The account you have must have access to the following two directories..
o - /etc
o - /etc/security
The first thing you must do is use the on-line mkuser program to make
yourself an account. Verify that your account is there by CATing the passwd
file in the /etc directory. If you made an account name nha01 then it
should look like this..
Note that the password, lastupdate, flags fields must be under each other
as they are in the orginal passwd file.
Leave the password and flags fields blank and you now have an account
on AIX Unix..
I hope this short file helps some of the unix hackers out there. Most
of whom I have talked two have had trouble getting root access for another
account on AIX Unix based systems.. It worked on mine so I thought I'd
share it with the public.
