how to hid a user?

[aeav]

Someone can help-me with it?

How I can to hide my user in a machine?

Because when press "w" that command list all users in my machine, and I don't want to see my login there, or the ROOT login, is it possible to hide?


Thank you

[Choozo]

Why would you do that?

This is the second time you have said something that leads me to believe that you are attempting to break into other peoples boxen, Is this true? If not, can you explain why you need to "hide" your user.

Yes, use the grsecurity (http://www.grsecurity.org/) patch! That's in case you're not trying to hide yourself in someone else's box.

:D

This is not true, I wanna hide because however that I press "w" I saw my user name with more than two logs there... because it I don't want to get worry.....
I want to list there just the others users, because I work with security in a server, and it is so much good to the server..

i gotta go with gehidore on this one.

its common to see more than one log. and if you hide your login and root. if someone else logs in as oh lets say YOU OR ROOT then you wont see that either.

ill go ahead and start your next post

how do i gain user access and still crack encrypted passwords? Just wondering. For ya know security reasons. :D

coudln't we do a who | grep "^your-user-name"

but i don't know all of the regex stuff to do it right. we just need the thing that does it if that doesn't exist there.. anyone know it? (up there, the ^ just makes sure that it starts a line)

I still don't see where this pressing "w" is coming from (mabe I missed something) but top or ps aux should still show what user is running what.

[serz]

Yes, well...you can hide all this stuff with the grsecurity patch.

Would there ever be a time when you'd want this on a production machine; I'll agree w/ the others. It sounds like either a good way to keep a compromised machine rooted or if you were rooted one less way to detect that you've been so

If you don't want to see those users then don't use the "w" command, it's that simple.

I really can't think of a good reason why someone would want to hide their user id from a command such a "w".

That makes a lot of sense. :rolleyes:

With this patch you can hide the procceses, who's running what, etc. It's a patch you apply for security, not for illegal purposes, heh.

If I'm a ordinary user on my box I'll only be able to see my processes if I do ps aux, same would happen if I use the w command, my username will be displayed no matter who is logged in my box.

That's what I meant :)
