Hacking Email Accounts Via Telnet

Hey friends,
Although I had told about this in my book earlier, still I would like to tell you more about this.
Telnet is the utility that allows us to connect to remote computer using our terminal.
So what we do is that first of all get the TELNET utility activated in our system.
If you are using Windows Vista/7 - Go to Control Panel->All Control Panel Items->Programs and Features-> Turn off windows features ON or OFF  and check the TELNET CLIENT & TELNET SERVER options.
Now goto your command prompt and type things as under :
  • nslookup        //this will return you your ip address
  • set type=mx    // to get the mail exchanger
  • Now type the mail address you want to see example google.com
  • It will return you with your mail exchanger's detailed DNS and IP along with the preference value, so it is adviced that you choose the highest prefernce value mail excahnger
  • Now telnet to the mail exchanger by typing  TELNET 25  , 25 is the port number which is reserved for telnet service
If you want you can trace that mail exchanger using Ip2location.com or other such website like geolocation.com.

So keep tracing and exploiting mail servers. Till then Bye bye and have a good time.
