Breaking into a system isn't worth anything if you find yourself in an empty home directory with such a low access level that nothing fun is allowable. Men you hack into a low-level account belonging to a data entry clerk or some other restricted user, you will want to raise your access to the highest it can go. This is
accomplished by doing research from the inside, spoofing, programming tricks, or social engineering.
As far as research is concerned, you will want to look around the system you've just penetrated and see what options are available to you. Read all files; run all programs. Most technical hacks in-volve bugs in established software. Generally this software is of a kind that interacts with other users' accounts in some way. Thus mailing and "chatting" programs are susceptible, as well as text editors. If you find a programming language of any kind you should be in Hacker's Heaven, as there are hun-dreds of variations on programming tricks you can use while inside to gain better access. Let's start with spoofing.
