.:--==--==--==--==>> 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 ::
