: SHOW USERS, SHOW SYSTEM, and STOP/ID= COMMANDS :
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM<
This file is just an update on some things I found out after I wrote NIA044.TXT
HOW TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON A VMS BASED SYSTEM. I'll be going over some
items that I have mentioned in NIA044.TXT, but you might be interested in
reading them again, for I now have included actual VAX Prompts and such, so
you will now have a better idea of what I am talking about.
$_Basic_Overview
When logging into a VMS based system, you will be greeted by the familiar
prompt, which tells you that you are in DCL (Digital Command Language):
Username:FIELD
Password:
Welcome to NETWORK INFORMATION ACCESS DATABASE ... VAX/VMS Version 5.3

The Password can be up to any character length that you want it to be set
at. It is suggested that the password be under 32 characters. Also the
password is NOT shown to you (Or in English, it is not echoed back to your
screen ).
Username:FIELD
Password:
User Authorization Failure
That means you screwed up, and for you to try again.
$_SHOW Command
I dialed into our system and pulled out the SHOW COMMAND section for you to
look at, this is exactly what is on a MICROVAX 3500 running VMS 5.3 (noticed
the new version since 4.7? hehehe), anyways, if you are dialed into any VAX,
you can type HELP and get a command, if you want all commands type HELP * and
get your buffer ready, BUT REMEMBER it only shows you the commands not ALL OF
THE COMMON QUALIFIERS.
$ HELP SHOW *

automatically during product installation.
For a complete description of this utility, see the VMS License
Management Utility Manual, part of the VMS Base Documentation Set.
To display licenses registered in the LICENSE database, use the
LICENSE LIST command, described with the utility.
Displays all logical names in one or more logical name tables or
displays the current equivalence string, or strings, assigned to a
specified logical name or names. The SHOW LOGICAL command performs
iterative translations.
Displays the availability of the local node as a member of the
network and the addresses and names of all nodes that are currently
accessible to the local node. The SHOW NETWORK command also
displays link and cost relationships between the local node and
other nodes in the network.

/OUTPUT
We will be viewing SHOW SYSTEM, SHOW USERS, STOP/ID=xxxxx commands today.
You will find the STOP/ID= command of most fun and interest in your crossing
of VAX's today.
As mentioned all the Show commands have been listed above for you and please
take your time, view them carefully, for when you are on a system, if you keep
typing HELP over and over again, that MAY give you away, I am not saying it
will, but, lets just say that someone that looks familiar w/ the system is less
a target then someone who keeps typing HELP every so often. So if you must
make out a flow chart of what you wish to do or type out everything in advance
this can save you extreme amounts of time.

What has just been shown to you is all the USERS that are ONLINE at the
moment. This must be done EVERY TIME YOU LOG ONTO A SYSTEM. Now, re-read
everything in all caps there (EVERY TIME YOU LOG ONTO A SYSTEM), you MUST
type SHOW USERS, if you see a Username of MANAGER you might want to either
log off the system right away or just gamble that he is not really there.
But GOT, if Username is there, than that means he is online right? That is
what you said. Correct that IS what I said but that is NOT what I meant.
When you type SHOW USERS that shows every terminal that has someone
successfully entered the system. It does NOT MEAN THEY ARE THERE. A neat and
sneaky security trick that SOME(note not ALL Managers)Managers pull, is that
they will log into the system and then freeze the terminal that they are on.
This gives the IMPRESSION that the MANAGER is logged on and when in all
actuallity she/he is NOT. Now do NOT think that this means that every time
you log into a VAX and type SHOW USERS and see MANAGER, that you can go,
well GOT said its a fake, I did NOT say its a fake, I am saying that it
COULD BE A TRICK, and for all instances, the MANAGER could be a dummy
account, while the REAL MANAGER is under a different Username. Just be
DOUBLE carefull when you see a MANAGER Username. My own suggestion? Log Off
IMMEDIATELY. Why take chances?

$_Stop Command, And Why It Can Be Fun...
The last new command I am going to teach you is the STOP command. Listed
below is the VAX HELP on STOP:

$ HELP STOP *
STOP
Parameters
process-name
Specifies the name of the process to be deleted. The process name
can have from 1 to 15 alphanumeric characters. The specified
process must have the same group number in its user identification
code (UIC) as the current process. You cannot specify the
process-name for a process outside of your group. To stop a process
outside of your group, you must use the qualifier
/IDENTIFICATION=pid.
If you use the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the process name is
ignored. If you include neither the process-name parameter nor the
/IDENTIFICATION qualifier with the STOP command, the image executing
in the current process is terminated.
STOP
Command_Qualifiers
/IDENTIFICATION
/IDENTIFICATION=pid
Specifies the process identification code (PID) that the system has
assigned to the process. When you create a process with the RUN
command, the RUN command displays the process identification code of
the newly created process.
You can omit any leading zeros in specifying the PID.
STOP
Examples
1. $ RUN MYPROG
.
.
.
<CTRL/Y>
Interrupt
$ STOP
The RUN command begins executing the image MYPROG. Subsequently,
CTRL/Y interrupts the execution. The STOP command then terminates
the image.
2. $ @TESTALL
.
.
.
<CTRL/Y>
Interrupt
$ STOP
The @ (Execute Procedure) command executes the procedure
TESTALL.COM. CTRL/Y interrupts the procedure. The STOP command
returns control to the DCL command interpreter.
3. $ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA LIBRA
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013340D
.
.
.
$ STOP LIBRA
The RUN command creates a subprocess named LIBRA to execute the
image LIBRA.EXE. Subsequently, the STOP command causes the image to
exit and deletes the process.
4. $ ON ERROR THEN STOP
.
.
.
In a command procedure, the ON command establishes a default action
when any error occurs in the execution of a command or program. The
STOP command stops all command levels. If this ON command is
executed in a command procedure which in turn is executed from
within another procedure, control does not return to the outer
procedure, but to DCL command level 0.
STOP
/CPU
Stops the specified secondary processor or processors in a VMS
multiprocessing system. The /CPU qualifier is required.
Requires change mode to kernel (CMKRNL) privilege.

Now you must never start stopping Terminals (remember under Show System
_VTA1:???), if you type the following command:
STOP PROCESS/ID=8B6(return)
You will in effect shut down the terminal. Thus, raising extreme panic
modes on the person that is using process id 8b6 (could actually be the
MANAGER under a false Username).
Where did I get 8B6?? I got 8B6 from SHOW SYSTEM, that, if you recall shows
every device, and if you look under the PROCESS ID column you will see where
I pulled 8B6 from.
When STOPping a process, you do NOT need to type in the entire PROCESS ID,
which is 000008B6, all you needed is the last bit of information, or where
it actually starts a number or letter. You CAN type the entire line out if
you wish, but it saves time and increases speed to just type 8B6 instead of
000008B6.
Now why did I tell you about the STOP command? Because if you start stopping
PROCESS ID's you are going to raise some dangerous questions the next
morning or that night. You can CRASH a system by stopping every device, and
in particular, you can shut down NODES as well as MODEMS, TERMINALS,
PRINTERS, etc...
$_Conclusions
Make a chart of what you are going to do, if you can create a text file and
print it out, or work it into a program anything, just have something in
front of you that you can read your commands off of.
The format for any VAX operations are (after you logged in):
SHOW USERS : To see if a MANAGER User name is online
SHOW SYSTEM : For those interested in other Devices such as modems
begin your process
If a MANAGER Username is online QUICKLY type LO(return) that is a shortened
way of typing LOG OUT.
The more you know the system, and the more comfortable you are, the less
likely you are to make mistakes, and remember the Golden Rules of Hacking as
laid down in Phrack (no I'm not going to reprint them, get the issue
yourself), follow them.
