if you were to hack "fbi.gov", could you get sensitive information?

CorkMan

Or would they have a different website for very important information.

Just wondering...

Shankly Gates

Nah I wouldn't say they keep anything sensitive on such an obvious server name.

challengemaster

Well, now you've done it. They're watching this.

Seaneh

Nope. Maybe if some of the admins were stupid enough to use the same login and passwords for other areas but I highly doubt it.

Social Disorder

I doubt anyone here knows :P

However...there was an autistic kid in England who managed to hack the CIA's secure server to find out about aliens or something...he's now being water-boarded in Gutanamo or something :rolleyes:

Absolutely because all sensitive information is held on web servers

Give it a go, let us know how you get on.

No.

I'd be sure they use a different, more secure protocol then HTTP (https, possibly, but unlikely) and definitely military grade encryption systems.

And no, no half decent technical architect would put any sensitive information anywhere near a webserver unless it absolutely needed to be there.

Look up DMZ (demilitarised zone) as part of Network Architecture and Topology.

I just looped back a rootkit and trojanned the mainframe database, and the results are shocking:

OMG! :eek:
It's not working for me!

Wait if I went to it... are they gonna get me? :eek:

Something tells me they would host their website off site with remote access so to avoid any moron dumb enough to try and breach fbi networks. I could bet there webserver would be laced with any additional security features to ensure it doesn't happen. If this isn't the case then a facepalm should be in order.

What would happen if I did breach the FBI server?

Yeah, also they hotmail their most sensitive information to each other!!!

i doubt there would be anything sensitive open to the internets.

Well being the FBI, they would potentially request an extradiction for trial and most likely make you a guest of one of there more finer residents, prison. It has happened before when an Irish lad got caught breaking into US military networks.

Dunjohn

Heck, most large commercial companies keep their websites and their internal networks completely separate, let alone the FBI. I work for the Bank of Ireland and, now that I think about it, I've never even visited our public website. I use the BoI intranet all the time in work, though.

DevilsBreath

If you have to ask, your never going to know.

You need to do it dude, take the blue pill.

No but it was an actual case in the last 2 years.

No.

Funny story, in the 60's the US Air Force were forced to put codes on their airborne nuke's computers to stop some maniac firing one off at random. The Air Force were so annoyed by this that they put the following code in:

A couple of men called to the door in suits, they questioned why I made this topic and what I wanted to find out.

Have to be careful from now on.
