      JBoot Password Bypassing Vulnerability
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://jdyne.hypermart.net/software/jboot.html> JBoot is "the result of
    several years of our attempts to secure our computer from unwanted
    visitors". The product has been found to be vulnerable to two bypassing
    methods allowing local users unlimited access to the computer.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * JBoot version 6.1

    Method #1:
    NOTE: When you turn on your computer, it will run 'jboot6.exe' program. It
    will ask you to enter password.

    1. Place any Windows Startup Floppy (95/98/ME)
    2. Boot from it to a DOS prompt.
    3. Type 'c:' and press enter, then type 'cd \jboot'.
    4. Type 'edit syspass.inf', and just delete the password found there.
    5. Restart your computer, it will show you an error to change the
    password, you can simply ignore that, and click enter.

    Method #2:
    1. Place any Windows Startup Floppy (95/98/ME)
    2. Boot from floppy to dos prompt.
    3. Type 'c:\jboot\change.exe', and change the password.
    4. Login with your new password.

    Vendor status:
    The vendor's email support is based on FormMail that is badly configured,
    not allowing you to send comments regarding the product.
