T 5.45 Trying Out Passwords under WfW and<br />

Windows 95<br />

Within a peer-to-peer network under WfW, access rights to directories are<br />

realised by the allocation of passwords. No distinction is made between<br />

individual users. Access to a shared directory and the files stored inside is only<br />

granted if the correct password is entered. This is not the case for Windows 95<br />

used within NetWare networks. <strong>The</strong>refore, in principle, it is possible to<br />

determine the access passwords to shared directories by trial and error under<br />

WfW. As there is no restriction on the number of unsuccessful attempts when<br />

entering passwords, this promises to be very successful if a certain systematic<br />

approach is used.<br />
