Subject: Hacking USER's email with WinGate, lack of security on some ISPs
Found out something to read some emails on my ISP, maybe this will work
with other people if the ISP's site works just like mine...
It consists that, i lately noticed i'd get a "Dear brunob" when entering
their site. I scanned for a WinGate on my ISP's IPs.. Once i have a
WinGate working with www proxyin on 80(always had www proxy open), i
would use this proxy, and redirect to the ISP's Site, and it'd recogzine
myself as the USER from that WinGate's IP... It's all based on the IP the
person connects from.. So, i had a "Dear BLAH2"... And i found out i could
see someone's billing account... I used the same techniq on another ISP
and i could see in this ISP the USER's WEB MAIL section, without having to
enter any password or username.. In this last ISP i could also see the
person's billing account.. If people here like to read other people emails,
this is a way, IF they have WinGate set up, with permission to anyone to
connect to them..
