GetAdmin
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
A computer security utility going by the name GetAdmin was released in early July, 1997. The utility exploited a flaw in the Microsoft Windows NT 4 operating system in order to escalate privileges of an arbitrary specified account.[1] GetAdmin will no longer work on newer versions of Windows operation systems and patches have been made available for NT4. It can also be resolved by installing a hotfix known as the "getadmin fix".[2]
