: < Playing around with ALCATEL 4400 PBX >

: 2- Connect to Alcatel 4400
: Here is the default /etc/password file

: 3- How to be root, when root password has been changed ?
: to log in as root, just ftp as halt user, rename .profile, and telnet
: the box... your UID is... O !

: 4- Halt the Alcatel 4400
: You don't need to log in with halt user, nor to log in as root.
: Just log in, and execute /chetc/shutdown...

Over four years and these vulnerabilities are still present? Or does the
Alcatel 4400 have patch revisions levels that may indicate new machines
are sent with these patched?
