NIS (Yellow Pages)

KNOW WHAT THE HACKERS KNOW

NIS, (formally Yellow Pages) can be easily taken over by an attacker.
NFS can be easily "bent" to serve the needs of an attacker.
R-commands are a big risk. (rlogin, rsh ....)

Notes:

An IBM PC on the network can fake being the NIS (yellow pages) master server and take over root.
