HELP ME!!

SecurityBytesMe commented 7 years ago

have you not ever used a *nix system? sudo will ask for your password if your sudoers requires passwords for running binaries as a privileged user. Type the sudoers password. If you don't know what this is you should learn that before you learn dave. It will help in the long run.

Bombo7544 commented 7 years ago

I dont know what nix system is. I dont know what privileged user is. I dont know what running binaries are. I dont know what a sudoer is.

Bombo7544 commented 7 years ago

Also how do you find the sudoers password

SecurityBytesMe commented 7 years ago

Great. Research those things you said you don't know and your answer follows. A great resource to get you started is 'www.google.com'.

Jack, What are you trying to use Dave for? If you're locked out of a Mac, there are much easier ways to get back in. Password Crackers are generally not very useful in the real world. Dave was written more as a fun experiment rather than a practical tool. If you're just having fun or trying to learn, more power to you! Please be careful however, as running Dave for long periods of time can easily overheat or damage a computer.
