UNIX Vs LINUX

UNIX:

Unix is a popular operating system.There are two "main" flavors, BSD, and System V. System V is what AT&T developed in 1969, nurtured and sold to people. BSD is the unix that came from Berkeley University.We people have generally interaction with System V unix.
It is a multi-processing, multi-user, family of operating systems that run on a variety of architechtures. UNIX allows more than one user to access a computer system at the same time.
It is the OS in which kernel interacts directly with the hardware.kernal is consider to be heart of this os.In this Operating system everything is considered as a file,provides greater security.

Ex: posix



LINUX:


Linux is an Operating system which use unix as its base and gives further more facilities and applications.Linux was first released by its inventor Linus Torvalds in 1991. Combining the Linux kernel with the GNU software forms the basis of the operating system family generally known as 'Linux'.

Merely speeking GUI is made in linux having unix as its core.Differnent organizations used the UNIX kernal and added their own essence to form their own version of linux.

Ex: Redhat, Fedora, Solaris,AIX,Ubuntu,Susee, Mandrake . .





Both UNIX and LINUX are Open source

HACKING:A PATH:- DOS ATTACK  

Posted by Dwarika in

Definition:



HACKING:A PATH:- DOS ATTACK

Such an attack clogs up so much bandwidth on the target system that it cannot serve even legitimate users.


Working:


ATTACKER-----Infinite Malicious Data-----à VICTIM


Tools:


üPing of Death, SYN Flooding, Teardrop, Smurf, Land [TYPES]


üTrin00, Tribal Flood Network etc [TOOLS]





Steps involved in
DOS Attacks



Ø1.Attacker---------Infinite/ Malicious Data--à Target Network


2.Target Network gets choked or cannot handle the malicious data and hence crashes.


3.As a result, even legitimate clients/ people cannot connect to the target network.



4.This results in loss of revenue, disrupt in services, inconvenience, customer dissatisfaction and many other problems.


PING OF DEATH
Ø

ØThe maximum packet size allowed to be transmitted by TCP\IP on a network is 65 536 bytes.
Ø

ØIn the Ping of Death Attack, a packet having a size greater than this maximum size allowed by TCP\IP, is sent to the target system.
Ø

ØAs soon as the target system receives a packet exceeding the allowable size, then it crashes, reboots or hangs.
Ø

ØThis attack can easily be executed by the ‘ping’ command as follows:
Ø
ping -l 65540 hostname


SMURF ATTACKS
Ø

ØIn SMURF Attacks, a huge number of Ping Requests are sent to the broadcast address of the target network, using Spoofed IP Addresses from within the target network.
Ø

ØDue to infinite loops thus generated and due to the large number of Ping Requests, the target network will crash, restart or hang up.


ØCountermeasure


Filter out all incoming packets which either:

ü Has its source address same as any internal system.

ü Has its target address as the broadcast address. There is NO reason why external systems need to send data to the broadcast address.



LAND ATTACKS

Ø

ØSome implementations of TCP/IP are vulnerable to packets which originate and terminate from the same IP Address.

Ø

ØHence, in a LAND attack, the attacker sends infinite packets to the victim system from the victim system itself (Spoofing!).

Ø

ØThe same source and target address and port number crashes the victim system.

Ø

ØCountermeasure:

Ø

• Simple filtering should solve the problem.



BUSINESS THREATS
•All services unusable.


•All users Disconnected.


•Loss of revenue.


•Deadlines can be missed.


•Unnecessary Inefficiency and Downtime.


•Share Values go down. Customer Dissatisfaction.


COUNTERMEASURES
§
§Separate or compartmentalize critical services.

§Buy more bandwidth than normally required to count for sudden attacks.

§Filter out USELESS/MALICIOUS traffic as early as possible.

§Disable publicly accessible services.

§Balance traffic load on a set of servers.

§Regular monitoring and working closely with ISP will always help!

§Patch systems regularly.

§IPSec provides proper verification and authentication in the IP protocol.

§Use scanning tools to detect and remove DOS tools.

Renaming The Start Button:  

Posted by Dwarika in

Renaming The Start Button:



To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor.
My preference is UltraEdit

Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe)
With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6
You will see the word start with blanks between each letter
Edit it be any 5 characters or less
Save the file
Boot to DOS
Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org
Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe
You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one.
Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from DOS:

Start Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon.
Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe

RESTRICTIONS IN WIN XP  

Posted by Dwarika in

RESTRICTIONS IN WIN XP

If you want to make restrictions to what users can do or use on their computer without
having to run Poledit, you can edit the Registry. You can add and delete Windows
features in this Key shown below.
Zero is Off and the value 1 is On. Example: to Save Windows settings add or modify
the value name NoSaveSettings to 0, if set to1 Windows will not save settings. And
NoDeletePrinter set to 1 will prevent the user from deleting a printer.
The same key shows up at:
HKEY_USERS\(yourprofilename)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Poli
cies\Explorer so change it there also if you are using different profiles.
1.Open RegEdit
2.Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Policies
3.Go to the Explorer Key (Additional keys that can be created under Policies are
System, Explorer, Network and WinOldApp )
4.You can then add DWORD or binary values set to 1 in the appropriate keys for ON
and 0 for off.

If you are very much conscious about your space on hard drive, then a good idea would be uninstalling some unwanted application of windows such, which are never used, like Windows Messenger, but can’t find them on Add and Remove list, then try this one open notepad and open the file located in SystemRoot ( generally c:/> ) /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, once you have open the file then find the word “hide” in the file and simply delete it.





Now go to Add and Remove programs, Find the application, and uninstall it. Alternatively you can use this one to uninstall window messenger, click on run (start>run) now put this line and hit enter to uninstall windows messenger:

RUNDLL32 ADVPACK.DLL,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\MSMSGS.INF,BLC.Remove



Similarly to install back windows messenger just run this line:

RUNDLL32 ADVPACK.DLL,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\MSMSGS.INF,BLC.msmsgr

To allow Windows XP to close non-responsive applications automatically upon shutdown:

To allow Windows XP to close non-responsive applications automatically upon shutdown:

In the above method we decrease the time of shut down of applications,
but by this tweak, Windows XP can be set to close crashed applications automatically. While this does not technically speed up the shut down process, it does streamline it, and ensure that the user will not give the shutdown command then get up and leave, only to find the PC still powered on because Windows never received input on what to do with a hung application.

Open REGEDIT and navigate to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop’





Highlight the value ‘AutoEndTasks.’

Change the value to ‘1'



XP will now be able to close hung applications without user input during the shutdown process.

Uninstalling Windows from Command Prompt  

Posted by Dwarika in

Uninstalling Windows from Command Prompt

One option included in Windows XP is the ability to uninstall XP if you performed an upgrade from Windows 98, 98SE, or Windows Me. The standard method of removing XP is achieved by booting into XP normally and uses the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. If you are unable to start XP normally, the second option is to load XP in Safe Mode then use the same tool. If you are unable to boot normally or boot into Safe Mode, XP can be removed by uninstalling from a Command Prompt. The procedure is as follows:

Important Note: This procedure is available only if a successful image of the previous operating system was created during the XP upgrade.

Start the computer to Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

At the command prompt, type cd\, and then press ENTER



Type cd\windows\system32, and then press ENTER.



Type osuninst.exe, and then press ENTER.



On screen instructions will guide you through the uninstall process to revert to the previous operating system.

This procedure can only be performed by users logged on as Administrator or a user with administrative rights.

Correcting System Hang at Startup  

Posted by Dwarika in

Correcting System Hang at Startup

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start
button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent
Transfer) running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't
work for me. Here's what you do:


· Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.



· Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
· Disable it, apply the changes & reboot.


(Note: Windows updates will not work correctly if this service is disabled)

How to Speedup your PC by disabling various Services  

Posted by Dwarika in

How to Speedup your PC by disabling various Services

Windows XP has a lot of services, some of which are not needed for normal use. To speed up and increase your systems security, disable these services.

To enter service manager-

Go to Start > Run and type services.msc and hit enter



Scroll down and highlight the service you want to adjust, right-click on it and choose Properties.

Now click the stop button and select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar.

:idea: A useful tip is that instead of disabling something you are unsure of, set it to manual. When you restart your machine if that service has started then it is probably required by one of your components or software products. If it is still OFF then consider disabling it for greater protection.

Here’s the list of useless services:

Alerter - notifies selected users and computers of administrative alerts. If this service is turned off, applications that use the NetAlertRaise or NetAlertRaiseEx APIs will be unable to notify a user or computer (by a Message Box from the Messenger service) that the administrative alert took place.
Recommendation: Disabled.





Application Layer Gateway Service - Provides support for 3rd party plug-ins for Internet Connection Sharing/Internet Connection Firewall. Required if using Internet Connection Sharing/Internet Connection Firewall to connect to the internet.
Recommendation: Automatic if using ICS, Disabled if not.

Application Management - Used for Assign, Publish and Remove software services. If you can not modify your software installation of certain applications, put this service in to Automatic or Manual.

Make Your Menus Load Faster

Make Your Menus Load Faster

1. Go to Start then Run



2. Type ‘Regedit’ then click ‘Ok’





3. Find “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\”





4. Select “MenuShowDelay”



5. Right click and select “Modify’

6. Reduce the number to around “100 ’





This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to “0’ but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway.

Do anyone know where the password file is stored in pc(user account's) ?



Here is the answer for it

Yes password file was stored in windows system32 config and sam file

named as SAM

location : C:\windows\system32\config\SAM


we can change password by entering into the location given above.
limitation:
you cant access properly if you have not the administrator rights even you can do the changes if you are added in the power user list other wise you cant do anything with the limited account.

But you can do using cmd as given below

Go to Dos type net user administrator *
press enter now type your own password
So now you have hacked the administrator

Hack Network Camera from google  

Posted by Dwarika in



An Axis network camera can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit. It captures and sends live video directly over an IP network such as a LAN, intranet or the Internet and enables users to view and/or manage the camera using a standard Web browser or video management software on any local or remote computer on a network. It allows authorized viewers from different locations to simultaneously access images from the same network camera.
You can view many of these network cam for free by using google by using these queries:
/view/view.shtml axis
"Live view - / - AXIS"
indexFrame.html axis
"Live web imaging unleashed"
(for a better view download and install: AXIS Camera Control (ActiveX component) makes it possible to view Motion JPEG video streams from an Axis Network Video product directly in Microsoft Development Tools and Microsoft Internet Explorer. And download and install also: AXIS Media Control is the recommended method for viewing video images in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Deciphering password from WS_FTP.ini file  

Posted by Dwarika in

Deciphering password from WS_FTP.ini file:


WS_FTP is a line of file transfer protocol client software produced by Ipswitch, Inc. for the Windows operating systems. WS_FTP stands for WinSock File Transfer Protocol. The graphical user interface of WS_FTP has two-panes: the left pane is the local computer that the software is installed on and the right pane is the server being connected to. Recent versions of WS_FTP include the ability to customize the panes and to connect to multiple servers at the same time.
The line includes a "Home" version (which lacks security features such as SSH and https support), a more powerful "Professional" version (also known as WS_FTP Pro), and an FTP server. WS_FTP Home used to be called WS_FTP LE, which was a Limited Edition version whose license permitted used by educational, government and non-profit home usrs (version 5.x and earlier). With version 6.0, WS_FTP LE's license was revised to allow for educational use only.
An initialization file, or INI file, is a configuration file that contains configuration data (i.e. idiom terms) for Microsoft Windows based applications.
Starting with Windows 95, the INI file format was superseded but not entirely replaced by a registry database in Microsoft operating systems. Recently, XML became a popular choice for encoding configuration, as well as other kinds of data for many applications, but INI format is still in use.
Although made popular by Windows, INI files can be used on any system thanks to their flexibility. They allow a program to store configuration data, which can then be easily parsed and changed.

and find the password
The password must be in that way:
PWD=V29BEA5A170EE544D8F2D7CEA802A182BA76A387266A14799AEA53D73B0AE

finding ip address while chating  

Posted by Dwarika in

This is only for education purpose.
So who ever try this is at his risk.

I am not sure that this will work 100 %.
But yes will work almost 70 percent of the times.
But before that you need to know some few things of yahoo chat protocol
leave a comment here after u see the post lemme know if it does works or not or u having a problem post here.

Following are the features : -

1) When we chat on yahoo every thing goes through the server.Only when we chat thats messages.
2) When we send files yahoo has 2 options
a) Either it uploads the file and then the other client has to down load it.
Either it connects to the client directly and gets the files
3) When we use video or audio:-
a) It either goes thru the server
Or it has client to client connection
And when we have client to client connection the opponents IP is revealed.On the 5051 port.So how do we exploit the Chat user when he gets a direct connection. And how do we go about it.Remember i am here to hack a system with out using a TOOL only by simple net commands and yahoo chat techniques.Thats what makes a difference between a real hacker and new bies.
So lets analyse
1) Its impossible to get a Attackers IP address when you only chat.
2) There are 50 % chances of getting a IP address when you send files
3) Again 50 % chances of getting IP when you use video or audio.

So why to wait lets exploit those 50 % chances .
I'll explain only for files here which lies same for Video or audio

1) Go to dos
type ->
netstat -n 3
You will get the following output.Just do not care and be cool
Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 194.30.209.15:1631 194.30.209.20:5900 ESTABLISHED

TCP 194.30.209.15:2864 64.4.12.200:1863 ESTABLISHED

Just i will explain what the out put is in general.In left hand side is your IP address.And in right hand side is the IP address of the foreign machine.And the port to which is connected.Ok now so what next ->

2) Try sending a file to the Target .
if the files comes from server.Thats the file is uploaded leave itYou will not get the ip.But if a direct connection is established
HMMMM then the first attacker first phase is over
This is the output in your netstat.The 5101 number port is where the Attacker is connected.
Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 194.30.209.15:1631 194.30.209.20:5900 ESTABLISHED
TCP 194.30.209.15:2736 216.136.224.214:5050 ESTABLISHED

TCP 194.30.209.15:5101 194.30.209.14:3290 ESTABLISHED


3) so what next???
Hmmm........ Ok so make a DOS attack now
Go to dos prompt and
Just do
nbtstat -A Attackers IPaddress.Can happen that if system is not protected then you can see the whole network.
C:\>nbtstat -A 194.30.209.14

Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [194.30.209.15] Scope Id: []

NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
EDP12 <00> UNIQUE Registered
XYZ <00> GROUP Registered
XYZ <20> UNIQUE Registered
XYZCOMP1 <1E> GROUP Registered

MAC Address = 00-C0-W0-D5-EF-9A

Ok so you will ask now what next???
No you find what you can do with this network than me explaining everything.
so post ur comments and lemme know....

So the conclusion is never exchange files , video or audio till you know that the user with whom you are chatting is not going to harm you.

How to copy a protected movie DVD

How to Clone a Hard Drive without having to buy extra software  

Posted by Dwarika in

How to Clone a Hard Drive without having to buy extra software

Did know that you could clone your current Hard Drive without having to by extra software? Maybe you didn't know that all that you needed, was already set up on your current system?

How to
Make sure that you have a Master and a Slave setup on your system. The Slave drive, in this case, is where all the data on the Master is going to go to.

First: Perform a Scandisk your Master drive and follow that with a thorough Defrag. If you have an Antivirus program, do a thorough sweep with the AV first, then do the Scandisk, followed by the Defrag.

Second: Do the same thing to the target drive, as you did the Master: Scandisk then a thorough Defrag.

Third: Right-click on the Target drive and click on Format. When the box comes up, click your mouse onto the "Full" button.

Fourth: After Formatting the Target drive, run a Scandisk again and click on the button that says "Autofix Errors".

Fifth: In this final part, you might want to cut-and-paste to code in, unless you are sure that you can do it without making any mistakes:

Click on the Start => Run... button, then place the following into the Runbox:

XCOPY C:*.*D: /c/h/e/k/r and then press the "Enter" button.

If you receive an error message, then remove the space from between XCOPY and C:

Anything that should happen to come up in the DOS box, just click "Y" for "Yes". When its all finished, pull the original Master from the system, designate the Slave as the Master (change your jumpers), then check your new Master out.

Please note:This trick has been tested (and worked) on all systems except for Windows 2000, so you really shouldn't have any problems.

Installing and booting Windows XP from USB drive  

Posted by Dwarika in

Installing and booting Windows XP from USB drive:

Needed
# A USB2-compliant Hard disk drive (or a big USB2 stick).
# An original Windows XP CD
# WinISO or UltraISO. In this guide, i use the UltraISO
# The Microsoft CAB SDK
# A CD-burning software that can handle ISO files.I burn the image with Nero.
# Your computer must support booting from USB (view below)

To see if your PC supports booting from USB, connect your USB drive to your computer, directly, without a Hub. Then, shut down your computer, disconnect any other hard disk drives from it, and insert your Windows XP CD into the drive. Start the installation, and proceed to the section where you are allowed to pick a hard drive. If it goes beyond the partition selection, your drive is already fine for booting Windows XP. If not (seems to be the cases with many of the Freecom USB HDDs for example), you will get an error like "Windows is unable to find your drive, partition, data etc bla".
If you want to install XP to USB Stick, you can't do anything. But if you want to install XP to a USB HDD, this is usually not a big problem. All you need to do is "properly" format the drive. Reboot into your normal Windows, and get this HP tool , and use it to format your HDD completely and choose NTFS format.


How to
Open UltraISO, and select Tools -> Make CD/DVD Image... , and save your CD image.



After the CD dump is done, close and reopen UltraIUSO. Then, open the ISO file you just created using
File -> Open. Now, click the I386 folder, and select the following files (Ctrl key to multi-select)
# TXTSETUP.SIF
# DOSNET.INF
# USB.IN_
# USBPORT.IN_
# USBSTOR.IN_

Select Actions -> Extract and put the resulting files into some folder to work on them

Use the Cab SDK to extract the contents of the .IN_ files. Go to Start -> Run and type cmd.
No navigate to the folder you have the files and type these commands:

cabarc x USB.IN_
cabarc x USBPORT.IN_
cabarc x USBSTOR.IN_
You should end up with three new files in the folder, called:
# usb.inf
# usbport.inf
# usbstor.inf

Now delete the .IN_ files. No you must open the inf files with a text editor to modify them.
File TXTSETUP.SIF
Move the following entries from [InputDevicesSupport.Load] to the [BootBusExtenders.Load] section , as shown here


pci = pci.sys
acpi = acpi.sys

Now open the cmd again. Type the following commands:

cabarc n USB.IN_ usb.inf
cabarc n USBPORT.IN_ usbport.inf
cabarc n USBSTOR.IN_ usbstor.inf



The three IN_ files should now exist again.

We are finish with modifications.

Open your Windows CD image again with UltraISO. Navigate to the I386 folder, and delete the following files from the ISO file.
# DOSNET.INF
# TXTSETUP.SIF
# USB.IN_
# USBPORT.IN_
# USBSTOR.IN_

Now save the iso file. Now select "Add Files" and add your changed files, in detail:
# USBBOOT.INF
# DOSNET.INF
# TXTSETUP.SIF
# USB.IN_
# USBPORT.IN_
# USBSTOR.IN_



Save the ISO. You are done.
Now you can burn the image.



To test the CD, shut down your computer. Disconnect ANY internal and external hard drives (so Windows cannot find them during installation). Some computers will have trouble to boot without an internal HDD attached, check in your BIOS and, if possible, remove the HDD from the boot sequence and set the USB Harddisk as the first boot device, and the CDROM as second.

Also, now connect your USB Harddrive directly to the computer, without any Hubs in between. Windows should install just fine, with the exceptions noted below. At the installation, windows will prompt you, as they are "not certified" - This is normal. Just press "yes" a couple of times. Also, upon completion of the install, the system will complain once on the first bootup that the pagefile does not exist. You can ignore this for now, as Windows will work fine without it.

Description: The DeLogo filter is designed to remove static elements, i.e. logos or watermarks from video source. While there are many ways how to put a logo to a video, DeLogo filter only covers those that are really static, i.e. not moving and not animated. On the other hand, it can successfully remove alpha-blended logos without destroying the picture beneath.

Run the VirtualDub and open the movie file you want to remove the watermarks.
Now go to Video -> Filters.



Select the DeLogo filter and press OK.



Press OK again and close the window.

Now you are in the main program screen again. From the navigation tab below, seek in the video until you find a frame where the logo is best visible. Remember movie must be paused.



Now press ctrl + 1, and open your preferred image editor (e.g. Windows Paint) and with right click select paste.

You have the screen you selected into Windows Paint.

Select the fine red (255, 0, 0) color and start to mark the logo.


When finish, save the image to a numbered file, e.g. "Photo1.bmp", use a 24-bit color format.

Go to VirtualDub again and go to Video -> Filters.

Double click on DeLogo plugin and press the Load... button next to the Repair: text in the Mask properties group and load the image you saved here.



Press the Show preview button and check the result




You can enhance the result using the controls in the Repair parameters group. If the video is interlaced, check the Interlaced checkbox. Also if the video doesn't have pixel aspect ratio 1:1, you can use the Pixel aspect slider to compensate it.

Press the Close button to close the filter configuration dialog and OK button to close the filters dialog. Continue processing the video as usual.

Search Google Like An Expert  

Posted by Dwarika in

Search Google Like An Expert:

Here are 13 tips to help you search google like an expert.

1. Explicit Phrase: Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing. Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase. To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes.

Example: “internet marketing”

2. Exclude Words: Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising. To do this, simply use the “-“ sign in front of the word you want to exclude.

Example Search: internet marketing -advertising

3. Site Specific Search: Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase. Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the “site:somesite.com” modifier.

Example: “internet marketing” site:www.smallbusinesshub.com

4. Similar Words and Synonyms: Let’s say you are want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms. To do this, use the “~” in front of the word.

Example: “internet marketing” ~professional

5. Specific Document Types: If you’re looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier “filetype:”. For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing.

Example: “internet marketing” filetype:ppt

6. This OR That: By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search. If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator. (Note: The OR has to be capitalized).

Example: internet marketing OR advertising

7. Phone Listing: Let’s say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don’t know how it is. If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature.

Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note: the provided number does not work – you’ll have to use a real number to get any results).

8. Area Code Lookup: If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it’s from.

Example: 617

9. Numeric Ranges: This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip. Let’s say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers. You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what’s between the X and Y are two periods. This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers.

Example: president 1940..1950

10. Stock (Ticker Symbol): Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock.

Example: GOOG

11. Calculator: The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google.

Example: 48512 * 1.02

12. Word Definitions: If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the “define:” command.

Example: define:plethora

13. Searching for URLs containing certain words. Use the "inurl:word" modifier.

How to get anything for $0.01 from paypal  

Posted by Dwarika in

How to get anything for $0.01 from paypal:

This tutorial will help you to hopefully get software and possibly products for almost free.

Note: It won't work on products because it sends the seller an email along the lines of "you have received $0.01 from (your paypal name) for (the product)". This works ONLY on automated software scripts where it detects that you gave a payment and emails you a link to download the software.
Also, this is an educational only guide. I don't know if is legal on some countries or all.

You only need firefox and the Tamper Data plugin.Install it as usual and restarf firefox.
Go to Tools -> Tamper data to open the plugin's window.
Don't click anything yet.



Now go to any page you want to buy something (for example ebook). Note, you need to find a place that supports paypal or paypal shopping carts.




Now, before do anything, go back to tamper's window and press "Start Tamper".


Don't visit any other site and don't click any other link. YOU ONLY NEED to click on the link from the site that will redirects you to paypal.
The Tamper with request window will pop up. Click the Tamper button.




Now, you need to modify the post variables.
Find the parameter called amount and change the value to 0.01 because that is the lowest amount PayPal will process. When you are done click the OK button at the bottom of the window.




You will go to paypal's page.
You are done.

Disable delay from file hosting sites

If you don't want to wait to reach the download link from free upload sites, see how to bypass delaying tactics from the sites.

Please note this may not work on any server, even the script supports it.
You can't bypass the hour limit (you need to change your IP each time you have exceeded your bandwidth limit), or the letter typing method. However, you will find this script useful to bypass the count time limit.
Tested on megaupload and easy-share.com with success.
The method is very simple.
The only tool we need is Firefox.
First install the Greasemonkey addon and enable it. To enable the Greasemonkey, after installation, restart Firefox and look in the right (down). Right click on monkey's head and select enabled.



Now click on this link and if you have enabled the Greasemonkey, you will see a popup window.
Select install.



Now go to download the file you want without any time delay.

RapidShare no limit hack

RapidShare no limit hack

As you know, many links are available in sites who offers free file host, like RapidShare and Megaupload.
You can download the files you want from these sites free and with very fast download speeds, but they want you to pay, to let you have unlimited access, otherwise you must wait some time for every file. In this tutorial you can see an easy way to bypass this limit.

File
In order to complete the guide, you will need this file

-Added: 2007/04/13 by Zeus
-Size: 8.37 MB
-This file has been downloaded 874 times
Description: Get this tool to download without limit from RapidShare.

Also Needed
- Microsoft .NET Framework
-ABBYY FineReader 8.0 Professional Edition. You need this registered and not trial. Search google for “ABBYY FineReader Professional v8.0.706” (with quotes) if you need to try it before you buy.
- Jitbit Macro Recorder (Optional. Read below. Need to be registered, because has limits to record time.)

Installation and configuration
Install ABBYY FineReader in default directory (C:\Program Files\ABBYY FineReader 8.0 Professional Edition).
Download and extract the file (from above link) anywhere. Copy the folder with name “USDownloader” into your C:/ folder. Now copy the two dlls’ from the OpenSSL folder ( libeay32.dll & ssleay32.dll) in your system32 folder.

The file you downloaded doesn’t require any modification from you. I have already done everything with suggested and correct values.
Open Fine Reader and go to: Tools -> Options -> General -> Load Options, and load C:\USDownloader\Rapid(SK)18.3.fbt.





Close the box.

Go to: Tools ->Language Editor, click User-defined Languages and a new language called "Rapid(sk)" should be there.
Highlight "Rapid(sk)", click Edit and note that a pattern will only be designated one of these characters "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ". Close both boxes.





Go to: Tools -> Pattern Editor, the pattern SKsRapid(18.3-) should be set to (active). Click Edit and you will see the patterns which will be used during OCR and the number/letter that will be assigned to that pattern underneath. Close this box.




Go to Tools -> Options -> 2. Read, ensure the Recognition language is "Rapid(sk)" and set "Train user pattern".




Close Fine Reader.
It is suggested to make a backup from 18.3.fbt in case things go wrong.
I have already tested the letters from rapidshare, so you don’t need any Fine Reader Pattern Training. But if you want to try your Pattern Training in Fine Reader, check at the end.

Change IP (Dynamic) Modem or Router
We have to config the way, your router changes the IP. We need to reset the router, so we obtain a new IP (for users with Dynamic IP).In file discrec.bat, we need to change the way we reset the modem/router.
I suggest you to run the discrec.bat before do anything and check if your IP changed here. If changed, you don’t need to do anything. Continue to the How to. If not, read below.
If you have a dialup connection, open Reconnect.exe, select dialup and put the required info. Select Save and reconnect. Now edit the disrec.bat and replace this:
sleep.exe 10
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
sleep.exe 10


with this:
sleep.exe 10
Reconnect.exe

If you have a router, the best way is to make a macro record.
Download the Jitbit Macro Recorder and install it. Open it and select Start Recording.
Now make the moves with your mouse:
-Open a new browser window.
-Type the router’s IP (f.e. 192.168.1.1) and type the username and password.
-Go to tools and select Reset.Wait until finish the rebooting process.
-Stop the recording (from the small window up left).
- Now in Jitbit Macro Recorder go to file and select compile to exe.
-Save the exe file into the USDownloader folder. Save it as reset.exe




-Edit the disrec.bat and replace this:
sleep.exe 10
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
sleep.exe 10
with this:
sleep.exe 10
reset.exe
sleep.exe 10

Change IP (Static)
If you have Static IP, edit and add this in discrec.bat:
:again
For /F %%i in ('printip') Do @Set IP=%%i
start/wait rasdial "YOUR CONNECTIONS NAME" /disconnect
for /F %%j in ('printip') Do @set IPNEW=%%j
if %IP% == %IPNEW% GOTO AGAIN
-------------------
or
-------------------
:again
For /F %%i in ('printip') Do @Set IP=%%i
rasdial "connection name" /DISCONNECT
rasdial "connection name" username password
for /F %%j in ('printip') Do @set IPNEW=%%j
if %IP% == %IPNEW% GOTO AGAIN


How to
You are done with any configuration. Now run the USD. Copy and paste any links you have. Let it to download the files without any limit.




Try your Pattern Training in Fine Reader
Open Fine Reader, ensure "Rapid(sk)" is in the language box at the top, go to File -> Open PDF/Image, browse to C:\USDownloader\BMP_RS\ and open any .bmp file.
You should now have 4 patterns. Click the button 2.Read. If a Pattern Training box should appear, means that Fine Reader can’t recognize the character. Put the character into box and press learn. If the Pattern Training box does NOT appear then Fine Reader can recognize the character, so open the rest images to ensure that all the characters recognized.
When you have finished training and you have make changes, you MUST SAVE your results. Go to: Tools -> Options -> General, click on Save Options and in the Save Options As box click on Rapid(SK)18.3.fbt then click Save and overwrite existing file. Go to Tools -> Options -> 2. Read and set "Use user pattern". Close Fine Reader.

Browse any password protected site without register

You must have noticed sometimes that when you click on a link in Google Search, it will take you to the password protected webpage of some premium website or forum which usually requires a free registration. You can now bypass such restrictions imposed by posing as GoogleBot when visiting such websites by changing the user string agent sent by the type of web browser you may be using Firefox or Internet Explorer 7.

This guide is for Firefox and IE7.

If you want a site to test, view this:
http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/index.php and select any subforums from "GSO Programming Section"

Firefox
You need the User agent switcher addon. Install it and restart firefox.
The go to Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options... and on User Agents from left and then click on Add.
Now put this at useragent field:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
and give any description you want.



Now go to any site you want (i don't know if this works in all forums and sites) that requires login.
Usually you will see a message that says you must login first or something like this.
In the image below, you can see a custom made message.



Now go to tools -> User Agent Switcher and select the User Agent you made.



Now try to go to the site again (or press refresh).
You can browse the forum as GoogleBot.




For IE7

Save the following text as a .reg file and double click on it to import it into the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Googlebot/2.1"
"Compatible"="+http://www.google.com/bot.html"



To undo the changes, save the following text in a .reg format and import it
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

-Bad pass phrases

-Not deleted files

-Viruses and trojans

-Fake Version of PGP

=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=





1.What is this text about?

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

In this text I'll explain you everything about encryption,what is it,PGP,

ways that someone can read your encrypted files etc.Every hacker or

paranoid should use encryption and keep the other from reading their

files.The encryption is very important thing and I'll explain you how can

someone break and decrypt your files.



2.About Encryption and how it works

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The Encryption is very old.Even Julius Caesar used it when he was

sending messages because he didn't trust to his messengers.You see

encryption is everywhere,when you watch some spy film you see

there's always a computer with encrypted files or some film about hackers

when the feds busted the hacker and they see all of the hacker's files are

encrypted.



When you have simple .txt file that you can read this is called "plain text".

But when you use encryption and encrypt the file it will become unreadable

by the time you don't enter the password.This text is called cipher text.

The process of converting a cipher text into plain text is called decryption.



Here's a little example:



Plain text ==>Encryption==>Ciphertext==>Descryption==>Plaintext



This example shows you the way when you encrypt and decrypt a file.



3.About the Cryptography and PGP

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Cryptography is science that use the mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data.This science

let you keep your files and documents safe even on insecure networks like the Internet.

The cryptography can be weak and strong.The best is of course the strong one.Even when you

use all the computers in the world and they're doing billion operations in second you'll just need

BILLIONS of years to decrypt strong encryption.



PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is maybe the best encryption program to encrypt your files and documents.

It work in this way:



When you encrypt one file with PGP,PGP first compress the file.This saves you disk space and modem

transmition.Then it creates a session key.This session key works with a very secure and fast

confidential encryption algorithm to encrypt the file.Then the session key is encrypted with the

recipient's public key.

PGP ask you for pass phrase not for password.This is more secure against the dictionary attacks

when someone tries to use all the words in a dictionary to get your password.When you use

pass phrase you can enter a whole phrase with upper and lowercase letters with numeric and

punctuation characters.





4.Ways of breaking the encryption

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

PGP has been written for people that want their files encrypted for people that want privacy.

When you send an e-mail it can be read from other people if you use PGP only the person for who

is the message will be able to read it.





Now you know many things about PGP and the encryption but you may like to know can someone

break it and read your private texts and files.In fact if you use all the computers in the world to

decrypt a simple PGP message they'll need 12 million times the age of the universe to break it.

You see this is the BEST the encryption is so strong noone can break it.

The people that program it has done their work now everything depends on you.



-Bad pass phrases

*****************



The algorithm is unbreakable but they're other ways to decrypt the text and read it.

One of the biggest mistakes when someone writes his/her pass phrase is that the pass phrase is

something like : "John" "I love you" and such lame phrases.Other one are the name of some friend

or something like that.This is not good because this is pass phrase not password make it longer

put numbers and other characters in it.The longer your pass phrase is the harder it will be guessed

but put whole sentences even one that doesn't make sense just think in this way:

Someone is brute-forcing thousands of pass phrases from a dictionary therefore my pass phrase

should be someone that is not there in the dictionary something very stupid like:



hEllowOrld33IjustwanTtoteLLtoev3ryon3thatI'maLamErandI'mahacKer666



This is easy to remember because it's funny and there are only a few numbers but you may not use

upper and lowercase characters.I hope you know will put some very good pass phrase and be sure

noone will know it.



Another mistake is that you may write the pass phase on a paper and if someone find it you'll loose

it and he/she will be able to read your encrypted files.



-Not deleted files

******************



Another big security problem is how most of the operating systems delete files.So when you encrypt

the file you delete the plain text and of course leave the encrypted one.

But the system doesn't actually delete the file.It just mark those blocks of the disk deleted and free.

Someone may run a disk recovery program and still see all the files but in plaintext.Even when you're

writing your text file with a word editor it can create some temporary copies of it.When you close it

these files are deleted but as I told you they're still somewhere on your computer.

PGP has tool called PGP Secure Wipe that complete removes all deleted files from your computer

by overwriting them.In this way you'll only have the encrypted files on your computer.



-Viruses and Trojans

********************



Another dangerous security problem are the viruses and the trojans.So when you infect with a

trojan the attacker may run a key logger on your system.



*Note

A key logger is a program that captures all keystrokes pressed by you then saves them on your

hard drive or send them to the attacker

***************************************

So after the attacker run it he/she will be able to see everything you have written on your computer

and of course with your PGP pass phrase.

There are also a viruses designed to do this.Simpy record your pass phrase and send it back to the

attacker.



-Fake Version of PGP

********************



Another security problem is the PGP source that is

available so someone can make a fake copy of it that is recording your pass phase and

sending it back to the attacker.The program will look real and it will work but it may also have

functions you even don't know about.

A way of defending of these security problems is to use a trojan and a virus scanner.You should

also be sure your computer is clean from viruses and trojans when you install PGP and also be sure

you get PGP from Network Associates Inc. not from some other pages.



So now I hope you understand that PGP can't be braked but if you use it wisely and be sure

your pass phrase is good one,you're not infected with viruses or trojans and you're using the

real version of PGP you'll be secure.

How to Telnet with Windows XP :  

Posted by Dwarika in

How to Telnet with Windows XP :
The gem is telnet. To get help on Windows type
C:\>telnet /?
In cmd (command prompt).
****************
1. What is a Port on a computer? Port is like where things can go in and/or out of a computer. Some ports are easy to understand, like keyboard, monitor, printer and modem; Others are virtual (created by software). When modem port of (or LAN or ISDN or DSL) is connected to the Internet, your computer has the ability to open or close any of over 65,000 different virtual ports, and has the ability to connect to any of these on another computer - if it is running that port, and if a firewall doesn’t block it.

2. How do you address a computer over the Internet? There are two ways: by number or by name.
***************************************************************************
The simplest use of telnet is to log into a remote computer. Give the
command:
C:/>telnet targetcomputer.com (substituting the name of the computer you want to telnet into for targetcomputer.com)
If this computer is set up to let people log into accounts, you may
get the message:
login:
Type your user name here, making sure to be exact. You can't swap between lower case and capital letters. For example, user name Guest is not the same as guest.
If you don't know your user name and password, that means whoever runs that computer didn't give you an account and doesn't want you to log on.

Then cometh the message:
Password:
Again, be exact in typing in your password.
What if this doesn't work?
That is usually because people try to telnet into a computer, or a port on a
computer that is set up to refuse telnet connections. Here's what it
might look like when a computer refuses a telnet connection:
C:\ >telnet 10.0.0.3
Connecting To 10.0.0.3...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Or you might see:
C:\ >telnet abcd.com
Connecting To abcd.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it.
N.B: If you just give the telnet command without giving a port number, it
will automatically try to connect on port 23, which sometimes runs a
telnet server.
Windows computer has a telnet client program, meaning it will let ye telnet out of it. However you have to install a telnet server before anyone could Telnet into port 23 on your
computer.

If Telnet failed to connect, possibly the computer you were trying to telnet into was down or just plain no longer in existence or may be the people who run that computer don't want you to telnet into it.
How to Telnet into a Shell Account :
Even though you can't telnet into an account inside some computer, often you can get some information back or get that computer to do something interesting for you. Yep! you can get a telnet connection to succeed -without doing anything illegal ,almost any computer, even if you don't have permission to log in. There are many legal things you can do to many randomly chosen computers with telnet. For example:
C:/telnet freeshell.org 22
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.4p1
That tells us the target computer is running an SSH server, which enables encrypted connections between computers. If you want to SSH into an account there, you can get a shell account for free at
http://freeshell.org/ You can get a free SSH client program from
http://winfiles.com/
One reason most Hackers have shell accounts on Internet servers is, because you can meet the real hackers there. When you've logged in, give the command w or who. That gives a list of user names n u can talk to other users with tht talk command. Another fun thing, if your shell account allows it, is to give the command
ps -auxww
It might tell you what commands and processes other users are running. Ask other users what they are doing and they might teach you something.
But be careful not to be a victim of technology!
***************
Also Your online provider might stop you making telnet probes of other computers. The solution is to get a local online provider and make friends with the people who run it, and convince them you are just doing harmless, legal explorations.[some of other ways r also ther].

Sometimes a port is running an interesting program, but a firewall won't let you in. For example, X.X.X.X(IP address) ,a computer on LAN, runs an email sending program, (sendmail working together with Postfix, and using Kmail to compose emails). User can use it from an account inside that IP address to send emails with headers that hide from where user send things.
If user try to telnet to this email program from outside this computer,
here's what happens:
C:\>telnet X.X.X.X 25
Connecting To X.X.X.X...Could not open connection to the host, on
port 25.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it.
However, if user log into an account on X.X.X.X and then telnet from
inside to port 25, here's what I get:
Last login: Sat Nov 11 12:59:59 2008 from X.X.X.X
Have a lot of fun...
ani@test-box:~> telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1... [ani's note: 127.0.0.1 is the numerical
address meaning localhost, the same computer you are logged into]
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 test-box.local ESMTP Postfix
The reason to keep this port 25 hidden behind a firewall is to keep
people from using it to try to break in or to forge email.
***************
All about headers? It's at the beginning of an email that may - or may not - tell you a lot about
where it came from and when. To see full headers, in Outlook click
view -> full headers.

Using Robots.txt Files To Feed The Spiderbots:  

Posted by Dwarika in

Using Robots.txt Files To Feed The Spiderbots:

Using Robots.txt Files To Feed The Spiderbots by: Christian Whiting It's a Thursday evening. You are looking at your website logs to determine where your hits are coming from. You notice you are getting a ton of 404 errors records for a robots.txt file. You might not even know what a robots.txt file is, let alone why it is missing from your website. Let take a look at this mysterious file that seems to be missing and why it's important to have it. Search engines like Google cruise the internet by sending out their spidering software. These are commonly known as spiderbots. The spiderbots visit websites all around the internet to include them in their index listings. The first thing they look for when they visit is a file called the robots.txt file. This file normally is found in the root directory of hosted website. This file contains a set of rules that the spiders are programmed to obey based on standard protocol. These rules help the visiting spider determine what part of your website to include or to ignore all together. The most common rule used in the robots.txt file is to deny the search engine spiders access to restricted areas of your website that you don't want them visiting and indexing for the whole internet to view. These restricted areas normally contain your downloads, images, or a cgi-bin directory that are used only by your website visitors or for the normal daily operations of you website. What A robots.txt file is not.... Keep in mind that a robots.txt file is not a method to keep your information secure and safe from prying eyes. It simply is used to lock visiting spiders from indexing areas of your website. Note that using a robots.txt file does not speed up the process of search engines indexing and getting your website in their search directories. Also, a robots.txt file is not used to tell search engine spiders what to do, only what not to do. Benefits of using a robots.txt file: If you have parts of your website that are very similar you can block them from being crawled to avoid being flagged as a spammer. This is especially useful if you have similar pages optimized for different website browsers or website connection speeds. You eliminate 404 errors for missing robots.txt from your server logs by using a robots.txt file. Just create a blank robots.txt file in a basic text file editing program and upload it to your root directory. Can be used to block search engine spiders from indexing part or all of your website saving valuable bandwidth Creating A robots.xt Creating a robots.txt file is not complicated but you should be sure to do it correctly. If your file contains incorrect rules it can completely block all spiders and prevent them from indexing your website. You can create a robots.txt file using a simple text editing program like NotePad or you can generate a file automatically using several software programs or online website resources. For information and rules on how to manually create a robots.txt file visit http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/exclusion.html#robotstxt To create a robots.txt file online visit: http://searchbliss.com/webmaster_tools/robots-txt-text-generator.htm Once you have a robots.txt file created upload it to your root directory of your website. Now you will be ready the next time the spiderbots come around.

Google Chrome as Hacking Tool  

Posted by Dwarika in

Google Chrome as Hacking Tool


This is not a joke. If you are using Google Chrome then it is very easy for a malicious attacker to get the Remote Access of your Computer.

Less than a week after the release of Google (NSDQ:GOOG)’s new Web browser Chrome, security researchers detected a buffer overflow vulnerability that could enable remote attackers to completely take control of a user’s computer.

The detected buffer overflow vulnerability, deemed critical by security experts, is the result of a boundary error in the handling of the “Save As” function. If a user saves a Web page serving malicious content, the program could cause a stack-based overflow error, which could open the door for remote hackers to unleash malicious code on a user’s machine.

Remote attackers could then exploit the flaw by constructing a specially crafted Web page infused with malicious code. The attacker could then entice a victim to open and then save the infected page, which would subsequently download malicious code onto the victim’s computer and give the attacker complete access to the affected system.

Chrome’s latest buffer overflow vulnerability is one of about half a dozen errors detected in the newly released beta Web browser, about half of which allow for remote code execution, experts say. Another vulnerability, discovered shortly after the browser’s release Tuesday, included a carpetbombing glitch that stemmed from a fundamental flaw in the underlying user agent Safari 3.1.

However experts say that several Chrome beta version flaws are anticipated and will likely be worked out with the final version as the browser is subsequently tested.

“I think for a new product like Chrome, it doesn’t concern me much that they’re discovering the number of vulnerabilities and the details are getting out there. That’s the point of beta, especially open source beta,” said John Bambenek, handler for the SANS Internet Storm Center. “I think that the people who are really into getting exploits on a number of machines are not interested in messing with Chrome until (Google) gets some distribution out there.”

“If it’s not public information, the hackers don’t have it either,” he added.

And despite some errors that could lead to remote exploitation, experts say that because the browser is still in beta and not yet widely adopted, security threats for most users for the time being remains small.

“I don’t think the consumer impact is very large yet,” said Bambenek, “but that could change very quickly.”

The following guide enables us to make clones of sims used in india
........... unlike the complicated guides you find on the net ....... i
have compiled them all together and made one simple guide which can be
followed even by beginners..covering only the relevant things needed to
know rather than going technically deep



Before i start off with this guide ..... i would like to make one thing
clear .......... SIM CLONING is illegal ..... there have been many
cases in india where people have been caught...... for cloning others
sims .......... and making calls worth thousands through it
............ recently many gsm operators in india have set up
surveillance techniques to trap people who use cloned sims............
So i once again request to everyone that please use this guide for
personal purpose only,do not use this guide for cheating ......



First off a little introduction about SIM CARDS.......



Our sim cards contain ......... two secret codes or keys called (imsi
value and ki value) which enables the operator in identifying the sim
card number and authenticate the customer ...... these codes are
related to our mobile numbers which...... the operators store in their
vast data base......... it is based on these secret keys that enables
the billing to be made to that customer. now what we do in sim cloning
is extract these two secret codes from the sim and programme it into a
new blank smart card often known as wafer........ since the operator
authentication on sims is based on these values..... it enables us to
fool the operators in thinking that its the original sim......... this
authentication is a big flaw concerning GSM technology.........



Now which sim cards can be cloned



Sim cards are manufactured on the basis of 3 algorithms....... COMP128v1,COMP128v2 and COMP128v3

now an important note currently only COMP128v1 version sim cards can be
cloned .... since this is the only algorithm which has been cracked by users......... bear in mind that 70% of all the sim cards we use are
COMP128v1...... now which gsm operators use what algorithms..... they
are as follows:





Airtel-90% can be cloned



Hutch-75% can be cloned



bpl mobile-90% can be cloned



idea-numbers before Aug 2005 can be cloned newer cards very rare



BSNL- 0% say no - reason not comp128v1 version







OK thats it about the background..... now lets get to the Main Part





1.ITEMS NEEDED





a)Sim card Reader (phoenix or smartmouse reader)

b)Plain or Blank silver wafer card or smart card

c)Software to Extract Ki and imsi (Woron scan 1.09 is the best)

d)Wafer Card Programmer (is a hardware chipset needed to programme smart card Millenium 2000VX MAX)

e)Software to make the PIC and EEPROM files (Sim Emu 1.06 configurator by pic-ador)

f)Software to write the PIC and EEPROM files to blank card (card master 2.1)







2.GETTING STARTED





a)Extracting the Ki and IMSI



first connect the sim card reader to the pc's com port insert your
original sim card..... run woron scan 1.06........ click on the menu
"card reader" and click settings and select the com port which the card
reader is connected to....dont change any thing else in
settings.....click ok



if you have a phoenix card reader checkmark pheonix in the card reader menu..... now click on "IMSI select" on the task menu...... the program will now
communicate with the sim card and retrieve the imsi value........ once
u got the imsi value..... write that on a piece of paper

now in the same way retrieve the "icc value" and write that down too

now click on "Ki search" now the program hacks the sim and retrieves
the the ki value which consists of 32 numbers......... Note that it may
take up to 8 hrs to completely get the ki value....... no matter how
much faster the comp is...... this is because the sim is only capable
of recieving and sending data@9600 bits/sec...

so goto sleep.... for now.....

After u wake up ....make sure u write down the Ki value safely in a
piece of paper like u did for the imsi value........ exit woron scan....



yaaahhoooo now u can stand up and proudly say that u hacked the sim









b)Making the PIC and EEPROM files with SIM EMU configurator



first uncheck the A3A8 checkbox under security........... Please dont
enable this even from the sim services menu. If enabled, it countsback
to zero and when it reaches zero,........ it will corrupt your simcard.
In the configurator you can set the number of ADN, FDN and SMS.
...........You can use the formulae ?16448 = (ADN - 51 ) x 32 +SMS x
176 + FDN x 32 must be less than 6480? for silver wafer cards.

Then generate the Hex files forPIC and EEPROM by clicking the Generate
Hex file. With this configurator, in addition to the 16 number

slots, you can make the simcard a Motorola Test card too. In 16 in 1 configurator the positions are from

0-9 and from A-F. Each position can be customised by induvidual PIN an
PUK codes. finished making the files now next step copy these files to
the blank card using the programmer......
c)Write the files to the SILVER WAFER card



Now we have the files to be written to the Silver Wafer card. For this we need the Wafer

card programmer and the software for programming. Here i am using the Millenium 2000VX Max programmer

and the Cardmaster 2.1 software. Connect the programmer and run the software. Select the type

of card you are using. Select the port by clicking setup > port. If the port set by you is correct the red

colour with message on ststus bar changes to yellow and shows no simcard. Insert the simcard and load

the files for PIC and EEPROM in the file to PIC and file to EEPROM fields respectively. Dont change any

other settings. Now you are at the last stage.



Press F3 or click edit > Auto Program. You can watch the

status bar about what is happening. Programming the pic.. programming the eeprom... programming the

pic.... verifying.... and atlast you will get the message that the card is programmed succesfully. Here

you may ask the question why the PIC is programmed again after programming the EEPROM?. The PIC is

first programmed with the eeprom loader to program the EEPROM. then the EEPROM is programmed

through the pic. After that the contents in the pic is erased and the actual file is programmed in the PIC







d) Cutting the smart card into a Sim card...... and settings on the phone



The card which we have made is a 16 in 1 sim card....... means we can store 16 different sim card numbers in one

This is the last step guys...... cut the smart card in the shape of ur sim card...... insert the sim card in the phone..... switch on the handset...... the phone asks for the PIN..... type ne 4
digit number this is for the first slot 0...... now the phone asks for
the PUK code again type ne 4 digit number again for the first
slot....... now the phone switches on with no network coverage...... a
network error message will appear....... this is usual because........
the main values (ki and imsi) have not entered....... so the network
operator cannot authenticate the sim.........



now the Finallee....... u would have noticed by now that a new menu
called the "sim emu 6.01" has appeared....... select it......you can
see the menus Configure, Select Phone and Information. Select Configure
and go to config postion. It asks for the position. You can select any
position from 0-9 and A-F. After selecting the position it asks for a
PIN and PUK. Always provide different PIN and PUK for each positions.
It helps us to switch to a number directly when the handset is switched
on. After PIN and PUK it asks for KI,IMSI and ICCID. You can now recall
the extracted values from STEP1 and enter it to appropriate fileds.







After doing all this..... u should now posses ur newly cloned sim
card...... u earned it congratulations..... ............. If not
then...... u must beat urself 10 times ........ and reapeat the entire
process.....

Download from a paypal site without paying a penny

Just a little basic html tip for those who are trying to download an application from sites which has an paypal order page & link to start you off.

Use a proxy when you try this to hide your ip as some sites will record your ip when you connect for security.

1) Rightclick your mouse (ctrl+click) viewsource and open the source of the site in an a texteditor
2) Search for the word "return"
3) Next to it you can find the url for the thank you page
4) Copy the url and paste it in your browser and you will see the download link

This works only if you can download instantly after payment, it will not work if the link needs to be emailed to you.

You can try it here to start with:
Code:

About half way down the page you will find:



Copy the link into your browser and download.

Cashing out Paypals  

Posted by Dwarika in

Cashing out Paypals


So your intrested in cashing out paypals well its not as easy as it sounds, but you can basicly cash out paypal account at a ATM!!
firstly you have to be located in the usa then the next sep would be to get some fulls - then you would have to get matching ID scans or what ever if fine...
You then need to go on www.paypal.com sign up useing one of your fulls so at this point you should have id fulls and paypal account assigned to one of the fulls - you then need to apply for a thing called a paypal credit card, but you also need to sort out a drop for where this will get sent to, to change the address is a little more complicated (well not really, but if you want more info on that then contact me.) so you then wait for a week and Bingo! you have your Paypal creditcard, now you can transfure funds to the paypal account that is assigned to the paypal credit card... i recomend you transfure 1000$ per paypal, if you want paypal account with avaliable ballance.

So you can cash out 500$ a day i recomend you go at midnight and then you can cash out 1000$ after 00:00 hours

the link to apply for the card is
hxxps://www.paypalcreditcard.com/bap/nav/home.jsp

Here is what you do:
This is for your cashout account:
0. You must be located in the United States for this to be possible.
1. Retreave your fulls. You will need info such as Name, DOB, SSN, Address, Phone number*, email, Bank info, etc.
2. You need to get SSN card scan with matching ID scan
3. Go to hxxps://www.paypal.com and sign up for a personal account using the information provided by your full. Make sure you?re using a proxy from the same state as your full info, same city is even better. Also you will need to use the address that is on the full, then later change the address.
a. Make sure the info on the full has never been registered with paypal previously. I am not sure how to do this, can anyone help?
4. You then need to apply for paypal debit card. Make sure to have the CC shipped to your drop and not the fulls drop.

Make mp3 files smaller without losing clarity

Make mp3 files smaller without losing clarity

If you don't already have a copy of MusicMatch Jukebox, download one from musicmatch.com. The "Plus" version has more features and burns CDs faster, but the free version works just fine for converting files



1. Install music match box and then restart your computer if it asks
2. open music matchbox and click file convert files
3. in the bottom right hand corner called 'destination type' change it to mp3 pro.
4.you can edit the bitrate but the higher the bitrate the bigger the size
5. choose the songs you want to convert and click start


***if you want to try something different repeat step one and 2 and instead of making the destintion type mp3 pro make it 'mp3pro vbr'

again the lower the setting the smaller the size.

Virus details  

Posted by Dwarika in

Virus details

Testbed consisted of 321 Viruses, Trojans and Worms, all for the Windows32 environment, and all reasonably new samples. I don't have any data on whether some of these are zoo, or ITW, but they are all real threats I feel someone is likely to encounter, since I got them off the internet (and i've verified they are real as each sample must be detected by at least 4 AV's for me to consider it). All scanners were installed on a clean system, without any traces of other anti-virus softwares - between each test the system and directories were cleaned, and the registry was sweeped. Each AV product was treated with a double-reboot, one before, and one after installation. Each scanner was set at its highest possible settings, and was triple checked for proper options and configuration. Most products were the full registered version when possible, others were fully functional unrestricted trials. All products were tested with the current version as of 6-14-04, and the latest definitions for that date. Each product was run through the test set a minimum of 3 times to establish proper settings and reliability, the only product to exhibit some variance on this was F-Secure, which had one scan come up less than the other two without any settings changes indicating a possible stability issue.

The final standings:

1) MKS-Vir
1a) eXtendia AVK
2) Kaspersky 5.0/4.5
2a) McAfee VirusScan 8.0
3) F-Secure
4) GData AVK
5) RAV + Norton (2 way tie)
6) Dr.Web
7) CommandAV + F-Prot + BitDefender (3 Way Tie)
8) ETrust
9) Trend
10) Panda
11) Avast! Pro
12) KingSoft
13) NOD32
14) AVG Pro
15) AntiVIR
16) ClamWIN
17) UNA
18) Norman
19) Solo
20) Proland
21) Sophos
22) Hauri
23) CAT Quickheal
24) Ikarus

Heuristics seemed to play some of a roll in this test, as no AV had every virus in my test in their definitions, and products with stronger heuristics were able to hold their position towards the top of the test. Double/Multi engined products put up strong showings as well, proving to me that the redundacy method works, and I think more AV companies should considering double-engines. The strongest heurisitical AV I noticed was F-Prot/Command, picking up only 247 samples with definitions but they were able to power through 67 additional hits on "Possible Virus" indicators - very strong! Norton with BloodHound activated had 30 Heuristical pickups, and DrWeb rounded up the pack with 20 heuristical pickups. eXtendia AVK grabs the number one slot with double engine scanning, anything the KAV engine missed, the RAV engine picked up with great redundancy on the double engine/definition system. McAfee actually missed only 2 samples with its definitions, but picked those 2 up as "Suspicious File", and therefore, scores nearly perfect as well.

The biggest dissapointments for me were Norman and Nod32. Even with Advanced-Heuristics enabled, NOD32 failed to pick up a large portion of the samples. Norman, while finding some of the toughest samples, managed to completely miss a large portion of them! Showing that their sandbox-emulation system has great potetential, but its far from complete.

Actual test numbers were:

Total Samples/Found Samples (321 total possible) + Number Missed + Detection Percentage

Discovered and tested MKS-Vir2004, from Poland. Surprisingly, this one with caught every sample perfectly on Medium Heuristics. Specifically, nearly 50 samples were picked up Heuristically giving it a perfect score of 321/321. However, when I increased Heuristics to "Super Deep", it picked up an addition 10 more suspicious files. Upon further investigation, it was found that it was picking up signatures of hacktool utilities left over in some of the archives and flagging those files. Indeed, this is impressive. MKS-Vir2004 exhibits the most advanced detection algorithms i've ever seen, clearly it only had signatures for 271 of my samples, but through code emulation, it was able to pick up all 321 samples!! It clearly labeled the Heuristically found ones as things as "Likely Win32 Trojan" or "Highly Suspicious Acting File". In addition, its scanning speed was incredibly quick, and its memory footprint was quite small. Impressive! Furthermore, this is a full featured and fairly polished product that appears to update at least once per day, and tech support responded to me within 5-15 minutes on my emails. Unfortunately, it appears to not be available in the US for purchase at this time.

Interesting also to note, is the detection level of the US AVK version with KAV+RAV engines was higher than the German version with KAV+BitDefender engines. Several vendors have free versions of their for purchase AV's, we didn't test the free versions, as it would serve no purpose for this test, but based on the results, none of the free versions would have been very impressive anyway. The term "Heuristics" seems like it should be taken very liberally, as some products that claim to be loaded with Heuristics scored miserably on items they clearly didn't have definitions for. Scanning speed was not measured, as it was totally irrelevant to my testing, and on-access scanners were not tested, as it would have been too time consuming, but considering most products have similar on-access engines as on-demand, and use the same database, results most likely, would be very similar.

Cut through the hype, cut through the marketing schemes, this was a real test, with real samples, and none of these samples were provided to the antivirus software vendors in advance. This is real world, and these are likely badguys you'll encounter, since I got them in my real encounters, and all were aquired on the internet in daily activities which anyone out there might be involved in. (Installing shareware, filesharing, surfing, etc). Keep in mind that with ITW tests the AV vendors have full disclosure of what they will be tested on in advance, not so here, so heuristics and real detection algorithms will play a big part, as well as the depth and scope of their definition database.

[Edit: After re-testing the Kaspersky products with Extended Database option turned ON, the moved up effectively scoring 100% considering the 1% margin of error]

Recover a quick erased cdrw

Recover a quick erased cdrw

Procedure used to recover data from a quick-erased CD-RW disc

1. Make a file of exactly the size of the cdrw disc's capacity (650MB in my case).
(this step may not be needed)

2. With Nero I created a new project and added the file to it so that I have the disc filled. I gues you can also fill up the disc with other files.
The reason why I fill the disc is because I want Nero to make a session that uses the entire disc. Like I wrote earlier in this thread I experienced that my CD-Drive refuses to read off the disc beyond the session's boundaries. When you quick-erase a disc there is no session anymore so the drive will not read at all. Burning a new session will overwrite the data and burning only a small session will NOT make the drive read the other data that is still on the disc.
The reason why I used the one big file is so that I could later on recognize which part of the disc was overwritten by this file because this file contained all zeros (0x00).

3. I pressed burn and selected disc-at-once. Then while Nero was burning the leadin I pressed cancel. My CD-Drive finished writing the lead-in and Nero reported an error.
This is what was accomplished however: Now the disc contains a session that says that the used disc size is the complete disc. Nero did not get to writing file because I cancelled it. Good thing because I don't want Nero to write any files because my old data will get overwritten!
I gues it works the same with different writing software. Another method that I used during a test was simply press the reset button of the computer when the burning software was done with writing the lead-in and started with the files.

4. I had to restart the computer after cancelling burning.
With the cdrw disc inserted I saw in "my computer" that windows recognized that the disc was 650MB, clicking on it gave an error. Good so far!

Now with IsoBuster you can extract the sectors from a disc to a file. This is what I did.
I gues that if you have data-recovery software at this point it will be usefull because now (if all went well;)) the CD-Drive WILL read data from the entire disc. Anyway, I used ISO-Buster because the files that I needed to recover where a bit odd for nowadays (.XM, .S3M, .MP3):
In IsoBuster I had to do several steps:

Step 1: Find out from and to which sector the drive will read
By choosing "Sector View" you can look at any given sector.
Here I found out what the first and the last sectors where that are readable. (Hint I used the method for the old game: "Gues a number below 100, I'll tell if it is higher or lower than what you gues")
Step 2: Extract the actual sectors
By choosing "Extract From-To" you can extract any given range of sectors to a file. My disc was a data-disc so I choose the first extraction type "User data, 2048 bytes/block...".

In the end I got a .tao file which was about 650MB. I ran several programs on it to look for files inside a file by searching for file-header-paterns:
1. Multi Ripper 2.80 (for DOS, for the .XM files. It does many other file formats as well (jpg,png, bmp,wav,etc,etc +100). Try google with this query: Multi Ripper 2.80. I still had the file from good old days but I saw several good search results)

2. Winamp for mp3.
Winamp will scan any file when you give it the extension .mp3 and play it as one big song (so I renamed the .tao file to .mp3). I used the discwriter to get a .wav and the Adobe Audition to manually cut and save my songs. I looked at the MP3 file format and it is hard to find an mp3 file in a big file because it has no clear header just a bunch of mpeg-frames in most cases for me . A lot of my files had no ID3v2 or ID3v1 tags... But after a couple of hours I recovered everything.

Finally a list of used stuff:

Software:
- IsoBuster v1.5
- Nero 6.3.0.3
- Multi Ripper 2.80
- WinAmp v5.02
- Windows XP Pro NL (patched up)

Hardware:
- NEC DVDRW ND1300A 1.06

Disc:
- some old 4 speed cdrw

Ultimae Google Tricks and Tips  

Posted by Dwarika in

Ultimae Google Tricks and Tips

1. You have three ways to view search results:

* snippet view, similar to the way Google displays web search results. This view helps you decide if a result is useful by showing snippets related to your query.

* expanded view, that shows the full posts. Choose this view if you want to read most search results.

* list view, which only shows the title of the post. This is useful if you want to explore a lot of search results.


2. Exact matches: put quotation marks around your search terms to get the results that include an exact phrase.


3. Wildcard: use an asterisk to replace some words in your query. This only works for exact matches. Include an asterisk for each word you want to replace.

For example: "has * * * new features" matches: "has just announced several new features", "has recently added two new features", "has released a few new features".


4. Negative searches: if you want all the posts that contain [book search] but don't include [Google], search for [book search -Google].


5. You can bookmark searches. Google Reader doesn't offer an option to save searches, but if you find yourself repeating the same searches, bookmark them. The latest Google Reader update added transparent URLs so you can use the Back button or bookmark pages.

Example: http://www.google.com/reader/view/#search/myquery


6. Search using the keyboard:

/ - add focus to the search box
Tab - choose a folder or a feed to restrict your search
Enter - instead of clicking the Search button, press Enter

Alternate between the three views: 1 (expanded view), 2 (list view), 3 (snippet view).

To select the first search result, press j. Then you can go to the next result (j) or the previous result (k).

Press Enter to read the full post and go back to the search results by pressing Enter again.


7. View a search result in its original context: make sure that the result is active and press v or middle-click on the title. This will open a new tab/window with the blog post or news article.


8. You can search other people's shared items and public folders. Assuming you know the numeric ID of a user, do a search in your shared items and replace your ID with another ID:

http://www.google.com/reader/view/#search/query
//user%2FIDNUMBER%2Fstate%2Fcom.google%2Fbroadcast

Example: here's a search for [Microsoft] in Robert Scoble's shared items.


9. Because Google Reader is not yet able to rank results by relevancy, a good way to make sure you'll find a post in six months is to star it. When you want to retrieve an important post, restrict the search results to the starred items firs

How to recover MOST of scratched CD data discs  

Posted by Dwarika in

How to recover MOST of scratched CD data discs

How to recover MOST of scratched CD data discs

I learn an old thecnique to how to recover damaged or scratched disks
with some lost of data. In this case i have one borrowed game - MAX PAYNE 2
with a chunck of 4 mb lost with a scratch in CD1 Install. Here we cover some
special thecniques of how to create a full working CD from the scratched one.

First some tools will be needed:

1. Alcohol 120%
2. UltraISO
3. Windows XP/2000 (not tested on 95/98/me)
3. Small piece of cotton
4. Dry cleaner paper
5. Finally, oil for cooking.

First step - preparing the CD

Get the cotton and drop some water, start cleaning vertically the surface of CD.
Do it 3 times and dry the water with a piece of dry cleaner paper. With a new piece
of cotton, drop some oil for cooking and start to wet the surface like you are
washing the CD with the oil. Dry carefully now. Some particles of oil will stay on the
microsurface of the scrath. It's okay. Seems the oil helps the laser of the CD/DVD driver
to read the surface again. Sure this will work with small unreadable scratchs - some hard
scratchs loose parts of the surface of the CD where we have data and it's lost forever.
But if it is loosed try anyway. Whith this tip 80% of the small scratched CD's coud be
recovered.

Second Step - testing the CD

With Alcohol 120% make an ISO - image making wizard - and lets see if the app can
read the loosed surface. In my case Alcohol 120% had recovered 60% of the data.
This is not enough. Have tryed other appz, they do not recover all the data. But the
CD/DVD driver laser CAN recover all data in this case. the data is still there, what we do?

third step - making the new CD

With the main copy system of windows explorer you can do it. Just create one folder
with the same name of the CD label for future burn reference, and copy the CD content
to the folder. When the CD copy process find the scratch, in majority of the cases, it's
slow down the reading and will recover ALL loosed data.If not, it just tell you there's
an unreadable sector. In this case your CD is lost. But it's not my case, finally
windows explorer got all the data from the scratch and made a copy in the folder.
with the ultraISO, wrote the original CD label, drop the content of the folder and
save as Iso. You can Test the new CD just mounting the iso in the Alcohol 120%. In my
case i did ISO of the two discs from MAX PAYNE 2 and tested installing from the mounted
ISO. Works like a charm. I got the 4 mb lost again. So, I have burned the CD and now i
have a working copy from the scratched one.

Sounds too bizzarre, but works. Course you can jump the cleaning process and try to copy
the content with Windows explorer. But in my case did not work without oil...

SPYWARE details

SPYWARE details

There are a lot of PC users that know little about "Spyware", "Mal-ware", "hijackers", "Dialers" & many more. This will help you avoid pop-ups, spammers and all those baddies.

What is spy-ware?
Spy-ware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Ad-ware). It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other than by selling it to the users. There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales. This way, you don't have to pay for the software and the developers are still getting paid. If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee.

Known spywares
There are thousands out there, new ones are added to the list everyday. But here are a few:
Alexa, Aureate/Radiate, BargainBuddy, ClickTillUWin, Conducent Timesink, Cydoor, Comet Cursor, eZula/KaZaa Toptext, Flashpoint/Flashtrack, Flyswat, Gator, GoHip, Hotbar, ISTbar, Lions Pride Enterprises/Blazing Logic/Trek Blue, Lop (C2Media), Mattel Brodcast, Morpheus, NewDotNet, Realplayer, Songspy, Xupiter, Web3000, WebHancer, Windows Messenger Service.

Safely editing registry  

Posted by Dwarika in

Safely editing registry

Windows XP has a vast number of configuration dialogs, but some adjustments can be performed only by directly editing the Registry. Frequently, tips involving Registry tweaks include stern warnings to back up the Registry before making any change. The Windows XP Backup applet can back up the Registry along with other elements of the System State, but the resulting data file can occupy hundreds of megabytes. You're better off saving a system restore point each time you're about to edit the Registry. Better still, you can use Regedit to back up only the Registry keys that will be changed.

Click on Start | Run and enter Regedit to launch the Registry editor. To back up an individual key you plan to edit, navigate to the key and right-click on it. Choose Export from the menu, and save the key to a REG file. Open the REG file in Notepad and insert a few comment lines that describe the source and purpose of the tweak. (To create a comment line, simply put a semicolon at the start of the line.)

Now go ahead and make all the changes to Registry keys and values specified by the tip you're applying. Any time you add a new key or value, make a note of it with another comment line in the REG file. When you're done, save the REG file and close Notepad.


If later you want to undo this Registry tweak, just double-click on the REG file and confirm that you want to add it to the Registry. This will restore any deleted keys or values and will restore the original data for any values whose data was changed. Note that this will not remove new keys or values that were added; that's why you need to make comments about such changes.

Right-click on the REG file and choose Edit, which will open it in Notepad. Check for comments about keys or values that were added, and if you find any, use Regedit to delete them. You can delete the REG file itself once you've completed this process

Call Forging  

Posted by Dwarika in

Call Forging
Want to Spoof a identity of caller,we have brought some intresting trick.

Call Forging is the trick by which you can spoof the identity of the
caller and misguide the calle.

By call forging the caller identity is spoofed and can be easily done
by the folllowing way.

This post is written for educational purpose and dont misuse it.

Basics of Call Forging

Firstly the voip is used to call via internet PC to a telephone.
In the Voip there is a loop hole which allow a intruder to spoof
a call.

There are many website on the net which provide the facility of the
internet calling.

This website work as follows,first the call the source phone no then
the destiation number and then bridge them togather.

Here there is no authentication done by the website and server are
normally located in US and so tracing of the intruder is not possible.

Thus the intruder logs on to this server and gives a wrong source number
and then place a call over internet which is actually a spoofed call
which shows wrong identity.

Also there a no laws regarding the call spoofing in India and so a intruder
if gets traced is easily backed by the loophole of no laws for it.

thus if you get calls from other numbers dont trust it they may be spoofed
calls

This post is written only for awareness and for educational purpose.

Speeding Up Share Viewing

Speeding Up Share Viewing



This is a great tweak. Before I found it, I was always smashing my head against the table waiting to view shares on other computers. Basically, when you connect to another computer with Windows XP, it checks for any Scheduled tasks on that computer a fairly useless task, but one that can add up to 30 seconds of waiting on the other end - not good! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to disable this process. First, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace in the Registry. Below that, there should be a key called {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}. Just delete this, and after a restart, Windows will no longer check for scheduled tasks - mucho performance improvement!

Create a right-click command prompt option  

Posted by Dwarika in

Create a right-click command prompt option
You can right-click a folder to get a list of actions you can apply to it. Here?s a way to create an action on that right-click menu that opens a command prompt window with that folder as the current directory. In a text editor such as Notepad, type the following exactly:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Cmd Here]

@=?Command &Prompt Here?



[HKEY_CLASSES-ROOT\Folder\shell\Cmd Here\command]


@=?cmd.exe /k pushd %L?

Save the file with any name you want, with a .reg extension. Then double-click the saved file and choose Yes to merge the file?s information into the Registry. You can delete the file. Right-click any folder and you?ll see the CommandPrompt Here option.

NEWSFLASH LOVE LETTER VIRUS -A SIMPLE PROGRAM THAT ROCKS THE WORLD  

Posted by Dwarika in

NEWSFLASH LOVE LETTER VIRUS -

A SIMPLE PROGRAM THAT ROCKS THE WORLD (An In-depth report by Rey Q. Carolino, PHNO Technology writer) CyberSpace, May 8, 2000 - Computer programmers around the world who have seen the source codes of the LoveLetter virus are united in saying that it is such a simple program that even a 12-year old with Visual Basic Scripting (VBS) knowledge can assemble in a few hours. The virus took only over 300 lines of VBS programming codes and yet it proved to be a nightmare to a lot of network administrators around the world within the first 24 hours of its attack. Ironically, its simplicity probably contributed to its widespread distribution over the Net. Because of its brevity, the source codes of the virus was easily passed on to other people through various Internet mailing lists and newsgroups and was quickly dissected and analyzed by copycat virus programmers. The first variant of the virus appeared in less than 24 hours. As of May 7, leading anti-virus software maker Symantec has discovered 12 variations of the LoveLetter virus (see list at the bottom). Who actually wrote the virus is still undetermined at this time. Some reports point to a Filipina hacker, others point to a 27-year old man who uses the online handle "Spyder", one report said the suspect is a 23-year old man from the Pandacan neighborhood in Manila, another lead point to a 22-year old student and a prominent virus researcher concluded that the culprit is a German exchange student living in Australia. Microsoft is the villain Whoever wrote the virus seems to be irrelevant to a lot of people who felt that the real villain in this worldwide drama is Microsoft. Microsoft took a lot of the heat on the issue because only systems running the Microsoft's Windows Scripting Host (WSH) are vulnerable to the virus. Some computer experts say that this is a wake-up call to Microsoft to enhance the security of their Operating System software and the very popular Microsoft Outlook e-mail program.
Computers running other operating systems such as Linux and the Macintosh were not affected by the LoveLetter virus and interest in other non-Microsoft mail programs, such as Eudora and Pegasus Mail, have increased since the virus was discovered last May 4. [The first UNIX variant of the virus was reported today by Norman, a firm dealing with data security (see http://www.norman.com/virus_info/vbs_loveletter.shtml).] Leo Wong wrote in the alt.comp.virus newsgroup: "That Microsoft fails to provide anything but a useless general warning in even the easiest cases (as with the "LoveBug" script) and fails to protect the user's system and resources shows its disdain for computer security and borders on negligence."
More than one culprits? The possibility of more than one person being involved in the spread of the LoveLetter virus is very likely as there are two main elements of the virus, each of these could have different masterminds. The first element is the LoveLetter virus program itself that can be passed on to computer systems through the opening of an e-mail attachment, through a one-on-one Internet Relay Chat session, or through the sharing of infected computer files with another system. The damage being rendered by this part of the virus is the deletion of some files in the system (notably JPEG graphics and MP2 and MP3 multimedia files). There is a second element of the virus however that could have given the author of the virus (and subsequent copycat writers) access to confidential password information from the infected system. This is done by using a password-stealer program that could have been created by a person who is not necessarily the author of the LoveLetter virus program. The program (called Win-Bugsfix.exe) was set to be downloaded from four different websites hosted by Sky Internet, an Internet Service Provider based in the Philippines. Jimmy Kuo, director of anti-virus research for McAfee reported that this program resembles a "Trojan Horse" program named "Barok", which steals computer passwords and written by a man in the Philippines last year. Once this program is transferred to the infected system, it will find some password information that the user of that system has stored in it. For example, if you choose to save your password when you logon to your Internet account or if you are entering a website that requires a password and you choose to instruct your browser to remember your passwords, those passwords will be saved somewhere in your system and those are the files the password-stealer program will try to hunt. If it finds them, they will be e-mailed to an account (probably belonging to the virus creator) being hosted by Super.Net, a service provider in Manila and Cebu City in the Philippines that sells prepaid internet access cards. What the virus creators will do with those passwords are now pure speculations because this part of the virus did not go very far. Sky Internet was alerted a few hours after the LoveLetter virus was first spotted on the loose and they were quick to shut-down the sites where the password-stealer program was being downloaded from. Majority of the people who were infected by the virus after Sky Internet has closed those sites down were greeted instead by a notice from Sky Internet that their system had been infected by the LoveLetter virus. However, it didn't last very long either as Sky Internet was forced to shutdown its servers completely several hours after the attack because of the heavy load that the virus had put on their Servers. With the source of the password-stealer program deactivated, the virus was unable to steal the passwords of infected users as planned. And because the files being deleted by the virus are not really significant, the damages done by this virus are restricted mainly to lost manhours in containing the virus and fixing its damages as well as the inability of users to access their system until proper safeguards have been implemented therein.
Sky Internet claimed that the accounts where the password-stealer was being downloaded from was hacked by someone belonging to another Internet Service Provider in the Philippines, ImpactNet. Rodney Banzon Consunji, Director of Business Development of ImpactNet, sent an e-mail to their subscribers explaining that the hacker responsible for planting the password-stealer program at Sky Internet used a valid ImpactNet account belonging to an innocent subscriber whose computer was hacked probably through the use of this password-stealer program. "Hacking Internet accounts is very common here in the Philippines." Consunji wrote. "We need to educate all Philippine Internet users about the reality of Viruses and Hacking. As what we have seen, these hackers and viruses can wreck havoc globally in a small span of time. We encourage clients of all ISP's to ensure the security of their PCs by installing any known anti-virus and anti-trojan software." Not just Outlook Because the virus is being propagated via E-mail using Microsoft Outlook as the mailer program, some people have the misconception that if they are not using Microsoft Outlook they will not catch the virus. The truth of the matter is that you can still catch the virus even if you are not using Microsoft Outlook if your system has the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) installed. You will not, however, be able to pass the virus around by e-mail if you do not use Outlook. By default, WSH is installed on Windows 98 and Windows 2000. It is not installed on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4 systems unless Internet Explorer version 5 has been installed. Some news sources reported that the LoveLetter virus can be activated by simply reading the e-mail and without opening the virus attachment. But while there are other VBS virus that can be activated by simply opening the e-mail, (such as the BubbleBoy and the KakWorm), most virus experts that have seen the LoveLetter source codes say that the LoveLetter virus can only be activated if the e-mail attachments are opened. To protect your system from the LoveLetter Virus The CERT Advisory offers the following solutions to prevent the LoveLetter virus from infecting your system (http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-04.html): 1. Update Your Anti-Virus Product It is important for users to update their anti-virus software. Some anti-virus software vendors have released updated information, tools, or virus databases to help prevent and combat this worm. A list of vendor-specific anti-virus information can be found in Appendix A (listed below). 2. Disable Windows Scripting Host
Because the worm is written in VBS, it requires the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) to run. Disabling WSH prevents the worm from executing. For information about disabling WSH, see: http://www.sophos.com/support/faqs/wsh.html
This change may disable functionality the user desires. Exercise caution when implementing this solution. 3. Disable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer
Information about disabling active scripting in Internet Explorer can be found at: http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/malicious_code_FAQ.html#steps This change may disable functionality the user desires. Exercise caution when implementing this solution. 4. Disable Auto-DCC Reception in IRC Clients Users of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) programs should disable automatic reception of files offered to them via DCC. 5. Filter the Worm in E-Mail Sites can use email filtering techniques to delete messages containing subject lines known to contain the worm. The article at listed at:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-04.html offers some examples of how this can be implemented for sites running UNIX. 6. Exercise Caution When Opening Attachments Exercise caution with attachments in email. Users should disable auto-opening or previewing of email attachments in their mail programs. Users should never open attachments from an untrusted origin, or that appear suspicious in any way. Appendix A. Anti-Virus Vendor Information
