Biggest bug in linux/unix discovered ! !
U can retrieve Password of the user….. Do u know ?
Yes, you can get to reveal your password!! This is due to a well known bug in the crypto algorithm of UNIX, used to generate /etc/passwd hash.
Can’t believe, right ?
Try this and check if your machine has the vulnerability -
$echo ’82 43/25 43+65P80P82P73P76P32P70P79P79P76P10P’ | dc
