Intranets - Impossible to crack?
Hi, I've done a bit of searching on google on how to crack Intranets, but not come up with anything useful to me.
Just wondering if you guys have any information on it?
Is it possible from outside the intranet?

Just wondering if it's possible to hack them from the outside. I'm not looking for a tutorial, just like a brief description about it.
Sorry man, but you're not really up to the task if you don't know what you're talking about. Please read up on networking - a place to start would be in the networking tutorial section on our forum.

Hey, that's what came up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet
The only thing I knew about them was that they're just a bunch of computers connected together outside of the internet.

Anyway, I never really stated I knew a lot about them, I created this thread for a specific answer if an Intranet could be cracked, that's all.IceDane wrote:Computers that use IPs, browsers and servers?5carby wrote:I get that an Intranet is a private network of computers that use Ip's, Browsers and Servers.

Don't get angry at members (especially respected ones), when you're the one asking for help and don't know exactly what you mean in the first place. If you expect an answer, try to give as much information as possible.5carby wrote:Anyway, I never really stated I knew a lot about them, I created this thread for a specific answer if an Intranet could be cracked, that's all.IceDane wrote:Computers that use IPs, browsers and servers?5carby wrote:I get that an Intranet is a private network of computers that use Ip's, Browsers and Servers.

Secondly, yes you can crack an Intranet, all you have to do is gain access to a machine on it or be the machine on it yourself.
Example 1:
You want to hack the Intranet of the company, so you find an external IP address of a box that is on that network. You find a vulnerability on the box, exploit it, and now since you have access to that computer, you are on the Intranet.
Example 2:
You find a proxy server running on the company that is misconfigured and allows you to forward your connection through it to the Intranet. Now you have access to the Intranet.
Example 3:
You want to crack the Intranet for a company in your area, you take your laptop and get on the network either via wireless or actually go inside the building and plug into an ethernet port. Once you are on that network, you are considered in the Intranet.
So now you have 3 examples of how to gain access to the Intranet (which is really just another word for network).

But yeah - Comrade is right. You would do wise not to step on people's toes when you're the one asking the questions.
Either way, an intranet is basically a network of computers that's not necessarily connected to the internet. If it's connected to the internet, you can gain access by gaining access, one way or another, to the router and changing its settings so it allows direct access to the computers on the network. Or, like he said, gain physical access to one of the computers on the intranet/network.

You've given me all the information I required, and I thank you both for it. :)
Thanks.
