Hack Smtp Server Backtrack
SMTP stands for ‘Simple Mail Transfer Protocol’ & this email communication protocol was designed for ‘functionality’ not for ‘security’. The SMTP is the part of ‘TCP/IP’ protocol, which utilizes a procedure called ‘store & forward’. The SMTP moves your email on & across the networks. It provides a bunch of codes that define the communication of email message between email servers & it is a type of ‘shorthand’ that permits a server to ‘break up’ different parts of a ‘message’ into the ‘categories’ the other ‘servers’ can understand.
- The attackers can verify whether ‘email account’ exist on a ‘server’ is simply to ‘Telnet’ to the server on port ‘25’ & run the ‘VRFY’ command. This command makes a ‘server’ to check whether a ‘user id’ exists or not. The ‘spammers’ automate this method to perform a ‘directory’ harvest attack, which is a way of obtaining valid email addresses from a server for hackers to utilize.
- The ‘scripting’ of this attack can test thousands of ‘email address’ couples or combinations. The command ‘EXPN’ allows or permits the attackers to verify ‘what mailing lists exist on a server’.
- You can simply or easily Telnet to your ‘email server’ on port ‘25’ & try ‘EXPN’ on your system.
- In ‘Net scan tools’, you can enter values for the ‘SMTP’ mail ‘server-name’, sending out the ‘domain-name’. Under the ‘test message’ settings, enter or type the ‘recipient email address’ & ‘sender’s email address’.
- At last, when the ‘test’ is complete or finish, then click on ‘view relay test results’.

How To Hack Email Exchange Server
An ‘Email exchange server’, is a software that is combination of an ‘email server, email client, & other group ware utilities’. It is used in combination with the ‘Microsoft outlook’. The ‘Exchange server’ enables or allows a user to securely access the conversations like: email messages, voice mail, instant messaging & text message, web browsers or mobile device.
- The ‘Smartphone’s’ connect to ‘Exchange server’ with a secured & self assigned SSL certificate. The same conversation is possible when those certificates are ‘spoofed’.
- When the devices connect to the network, & fetch email from the ‘Exchange servers’, it will access the ‘cheated/spoofed exchange server’ & the hacker captures everything.
