Poison

Ok I think I need some help with root.

I have written up a three step plan on how to get root, and I dont see why it isnt working.

  1. Start the server of the service in question on my local machine. Set it to be :1

  2. Create tube to securely transmit information through from localhost to poison, collecting from the port that :1 will be transmitting on on my machine to the same port on poison.

  3. Connect to the service running on localhost:1

  4. Sit and watch as the terminal cursor blinks at me and nothing happens. It does not ask me for a password like it does if I connect to localhost:2 (which is NOT being pumped out the tunnel fyi)

What am I missing here?

Also on the file from the zip; I can see it is a passwd file for a special service, but does it go on my machine, or on poison?
