How would you get an MSN password from a MAC?
anyone know of a way to get into a hotmail account?
Theoretically, How would you find a Hotmail password

BRUTE-FORCE ATTACK
Many people want to find software to perform a brute-force attack. This is really impractical. It would take hundreds of thousands of years to attempt any kind of reasonable brute-force attack on AOL®, Yahoo® or Hotmail® and this would expand exponentially if the password is longer than the minimum length. Using multiple computers or multiple sessions could reduce this to merely thousands of years. This is highly illegal since these services own the servers on which an account is hosted. Even if you are hacking your own account, you don't own the servers and the service is going to monitor and log this activity. It is extremely unlikely that you could recover a password in this way, but it is extremely likely that you'd be arrested and prosecuted for doing this.

I didn't say it wasn't illegal, plus hotmail would detect your IP hitting the login script too quickly and catch you very easily, basically what I was saying is you can't just get a hotmail password easily, that would defeat the entire purpose of it. Also hotmail isn't going to have any obvious XSS exploits or anything. Your're SOL and by the way it does sound like you're doing something "Bad"
