  In theory, it is impossible to get other user's passwd. However, I alway be
  told that someone uses some tick and get other's passwd. I want to get some
  idea and imformation about that. Is there a software that can help you to
  enter other's directory on network?

Why yes, my friend, there is.  Read on...

My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my account was taken away,
and System Administrators were hounding me like you wouldn't believe.
I was logged off and all of my free accounts had been closed.  The
only escape I had from the pressure of failure was my computer and my
modem. I longed to turn my advocation into my vocation.

   This January 1989 my family and I had accounts at sites all over
the world.

I am currently sysop of my own site on the West Coast of Florida,
with a private spool, boat SLIP connections, and a beautiful gif
of the bay.  I will never have to crack again. Anyone can do the
same.

   In October 1988, I received a letter in e-mail telling me how I
could gather 50,000 passwords or more whenever I wanted.  If you
believe that someday you deserve that lucky break that you have
waited for all your life, simply follow the easy instructions below.
Your dreams will come true.
Sincerely yours, Dave Rhodes

INSTRUCTIONS

        Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days
you will have received well over 50,000 passwords, all yours.

        1) Immediately e-mail your password to the first 5 (five)
addresses below starting at number 1 through number 5.  Enclose a note
with each letter stating: "Please post my name to comp.security.unix"

        2) Remove the name that appears number 1 on the list.
Move the other 9 names up one position. Place your name, address,
zip code, and e-mail address in the number 10 position.

        3) Post the new letter with your name in the number 10
position into 10 (Ten) separate bulletin boards in the message
base or to the file section, call the file, I.AM.AN.IDIOT.

        4) Within 60 days you will receive over 50,000 passwords.
Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it again
and again whenever you need passwords, and so that the authorities
will have hard evidence.

        NOTE:  Make sure you retain EVERY Name, Address, and password sent
        to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the
        names and notes they send you.  This is PROOF that you are truely
        providing a service and should the IRS or some other Government
        Agency question you, you can provide them with this proof!  That
        way they know who else to go after...
