Hack Windows Passwords in Win 7 (Video)
Mar 9th
We as administrators need tools. That is just a fact of life, and that is one of the reasons I just released Bauer-Puntu Linux 9.10R2.
I always have a copy of it on my USB stick, so I figured why not add some tools. One of them being a Windows password reset tool! Using this tool we can easily hack the Windows 7 Administrator password.
In this video episode of Bauer-Power (Which Karl so graciously let me re-post here) I show you how easy it is to hack Windows passwords using Bauer-Puntu Linux!
Besides Windows password hacking, Bauer-Puntu also gives you tools for:
- File recovery
- File shredding
- Hard drive wiping
- Disk imaging
- Disk partitioning
- Offline Virus Scan
Version 10.04 will be coming out soon. What other kinds of tools do you want to see on it? Like a different Live CD/USB distro? What is your favorite? Hit us up in the comments!

Display a Start Up Message in Windows XP before logging in.
Mar 12th
Before someone logs into your machine a message can be displayed. This is meant to inform you that you are being monitored or you are bound by some formal code of conduct.
You can use it to display a message in your absence to remind your buddies you are an all knowing Admin. You can do it pretty easily by displaying what Microsoft refers to as a legal notice at system start up.
- GO TO RUN
- REGEDIT
- Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
- Change legalnoticecaption”=”Legal Notice“
- legalnoticetext=”AskTheAdmin is watching you.”
obviously you can replace Legal notice or AskTheAdmin is watching you with any text you want. The editors over here are pretty sure you can find some Funny Practical uses for this on your, or a public, PC…
How can I view a web page that used to be there but isn’t anymore?
Jan 5th
Don’t you just hate those Four Oh Four errors? This page can not be displayed…
We wont judge you. Whether it be porn or work related. For good or evil…
The page used to be there. But where did it go? Who cares – We are going to show you how to bring it back!
After being overwhelmed with emails, from amazed readers, after we resurrected the website about the torrent tracker infiltration by a security company. Reader after reader sent us emails inquiring about this magic cache and how to access it.
See the black circle around the word cached? Yup that is your time machine. You will get a snapshot of the page the last time Google crawled it.
Hit this trick/feature up after take down notices or traffic prevents you from seeing what you want to see… Get rid of that a big 404.
Its not always 100 percent functional but it will get you the guts of the site.
How long before Google gets those take down notices for their cache?
Ever wanted to edit a webpage to say whatever you wanted it too? So did other people.

The good people at Mosio pinged me yesterday with this awesome tid-bit from their summer intern. Check out how you can modify ANY website in FireFox or Internet Explorer. It is so simple it might blow your mind!
- Step 1: go to a website you would like to mess around in
- Step 2: in the address paste this line
javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true‘; document.designMode=’on’; void 0
- Step 3: highlight and play with the page as if you were in Microsoft word.
Check out their changes to AskTheAdmin below:
Lets zoom in and check out their changes to AskTheAdmin…
I then went berserk modifying sites… Taking screen shots of modified websites and sending them along. Great tip Jay! Did you guys know about this?
Amazon is Down! – No redundancy while the shopping giant suffers a major outage
Jun 6th
That’s right kiddies!
Ask The Admin brought it to you first. Don’t go knocking on Amazon‘s door today. Nobody will answer.
Could it be that the Shopping GIANT of the net doesn’t even have server redundancy worked out right for itself?
Anybody out there know anything about this? Doesn’t Amazon offer hosting services as well?
Hit us in the comments people. Any speculations? DOS Attack?
You tell us…
Hit the comments, aaaaaaand begin!
(Edit they are back up at 3:05pm… Maybe all the Admin’s were out to lunch? Almost an hour down that has to cost some serious moolah!)
(Double Edit: 3:14 back down again…)
3:32 When you can get to the site we have a pretty little note posted…
And now Rumors are flying that it is PS3 related here and here… Anyone?

Make Outlook your biznatch using batch files and customized rules.
May 24th
I have recently fallen in love with having outlook run batch files -depending on what an email from me to me says.
They say necessity is the mother of all inventions and that is certainly true when it comes to scripting. I have been using a WM 6 device with no push email support and popping a pop3 account on the run.
I make sure to offline my outlook before leaving my office. Too Bad The Admin has a horrible short term memory – I would often forget and this would lead to missed messages and angry people in need of support cursing my name.
Now we couldn’t have that, so I started looking for an app that would offline outlook for me as I locked my machine. That didn’t happen… Not even close.
So I looked into a batch file to shutdown outlook also no go. so I said fuck it and used pskill in a script to terminate the process called outlook as seen here:
taskkill /F /im outlook.exe
Next I went into outlook and created a new rule from scratch. When new messages arrive from a specific account, from specific sender and with the specific subject shutdownoutlook.
Now when I send a email to myself and outlook is open it will process the message see who it is from check the subject and run my script.
Bingo. Emails flowing into my handheld again. so I can do this on the fly. since then I created scripts for restarting my PC, IIS and other apps.
What do you script? Do you automate on a day to day basis?
Anyone know how to make a script run on lock workstation?
DONT BE SHY!! Comment Young Admins!
