There are other way to crack a password. I recently posted an article on here about using public information to reset a password. Chances are that is what happened to Gov Palin. There are plenty of ways to gather public information about any target out there not just a person regularly in the public spot light. Any way, try taking Kev's email down.

FYI here is the article again: http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/104079.

LOL! Good job as far as social engineering goes Jimbob. I had actually thought of a figure like that but changed it at the last second because it was too obvious. Very good!

Ok try this account: Kvntu10@yahoo.com. I set this up with some easy possibilities for people to crack to make it more interesting.

Apparently many are trying this as the account is locked out for 24 hours.

Dang Bro you were trying? If you need the bread that bad I will just send it to you, lol. Interesting because I am not locked out . Let this ride for a little because we in security need to see if someone can. So far no results and its actually very easy.

Since no one has cracked it yet, I felt it was fair to make a condition for the pay off. If you do crack it, you must disclose how you did it here on EH-NET. Remember there is an easy way and a hard way and if you do both, I wil pay both amounts I mentioned in the account.

Wow, this thread has already become a contest. I believe there are ways and there are infinite ways to do this. I also agree with Kev that you have to post how you did this to be fair. As far as reset password is concern, well that has been the known solution so far. This is more of becoming a mythbuster. Is there truth behind hacking a yahoo mail password or not? I hope we can answer this one once and for all.

Thanks and Regards

I would try it, but I would need an ROE, Contract and a Get out of Jail free letter with business card before attempting it. LOL

Wait, you are not the owner of that site, wtf was I thinking...nope can't try it. Cheesy

I know this is an older topic, but I'm curious, did anyone hack your email?

I succeeded in terms of getting your credentials for your Kvntu10@yahoo.com account. Maybe you send me from somewhere else an email to this account and as proof I copy it 1:1 into here.

What do you think about it, Kev? Wink

Ha Ha, nice try, but I terminated the account that I used for this about a month after the post. However somebody just registered that account today. Hmm I wonder who, lol?

Heh, that's right. Cheesy

I already started a writing how a true scenario could have looked like to get those credentials from someone and at the end I wanted to write something like "But as the account seemed to be none existing anymore I just reregistered it and all the previous explained stuff was not necessary".
