.:--==--==--==--==>> Hacking an Access Database by Wyzewun <<==--==--==--==-:. :: :: :: A friend of mine, Shaddow Skinhead, recently had to create an Access :: :: Database for his University and we played around quite a bit with the :: :: Security Issue, only to find that it is near to impossible to have a :: :: Secure Access Database. Here is a list of the three major security flaws :: :: in the MS Access system... :: :: :: :: 1) MS Access automatically creates a guest-guest logon which cannot be :: :: deleted. Note that although it cannot be deleted, it can have a :: :: password set for it. :: :: :: :: 2) You will find settings like "PasswordRequired" in the .ini files for :: :: Access. Create your own .ini file without these settings and then run :: :: msaccess /ini myphile.ini - Look Mom! No Password! :: :: :: :: 3) If you can run WrkGrp.Exe you can specify new Security Settings :-) :: :: :: :: Anybody else know of any wholes in MS-Access Security? If you do, mail :: :: me at wyze1@syrex.co.za :: :: :: `:==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==:'
