Know the easiest how to break into a windows PC, and learn how to prevent it!
For the next few days, I'll cover a couple of ways to break into a Windows PC, starting with the easiest for today. Breaking in using Linux.
What you need : Linux Live CD
If you only want to access the files on the PC, just boot up the PC using the Linux Live CD, for example, Ubuntu. Pick "Try Ubuntu" when it comes up with the first menu, and it should take you right into a desktop environment. From here, you can access most of the hard drive just by going to the Places menu in the menu bar and choosing the Windows drive. It should see any NTFS drives just fine. But depending on the permissions of some files, you might need root access. If you're having trouble viewing or copying some files, open up a terminal window (by going to Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type in "gksudo nautilus", leaving the password blank when prompted. You should now have access to everything.
How to beat this one? Encrypt your files, or your entire hard drive.
How do you encrypt your entire drive? Use TrueCrypt
That's it! That's the easiest way to break in!
Tomorrow we'll talk about more ways to break in, and remember, the articles here are purely informational. Don't do anything that'll get you to jail!
