Connect to Your Friends PC

Well as I already mentioned you can hack any system as it is conected to what we call “INTERNET”. To connect internet a system allocates a port for communication and Data Transfer. So we got to do is to get into that port that is to be hacked.


Steps: -

1. Software PORT SCANNER from google.
2. The IP address of the victim whose port is open.
3. NETLAB which gives u all information includes victim IP address,Area from where
he is accessing internet….
4. The IP of victim u found initially into NETLAB .
5. Thats it now you can access his system.

Note : This is really Hardcore Hacking and you should be very much careful while doing all this and you do all this on your own responsibility. This site is never responsible for anything you after reading any article from this site and there are almost 50-50 chances that you may get caught so don’t try this unless you are aware of everthing. Yes you can freak some of your friends by telling them that you can hack their systems very easily.

The above is only for Education Purpose

Phishing

This goes into more detail on how to create a fake page to login, and get redirected while it is sending a email of the password and username to your inbox. If you found this easy, then try out the post, “How to Hack Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Orkut or Any Other”


Fake login page is a fake page which you can use to hack others username and password. Fake login page looks exactly like the original page and if someone login in your page using his original username and password, the username and password will be mailed to you
The process of Hacking anyone’s id using fake login pages is known as Phishing

Now let’s learn how to create your very own fake login page.

{1} Open www.jotform.com and Sign Up.
{2} then Login there with your newly registered account.
{3} now click on ‘ Create your first form’.
{4} Now delete all the pre-defined entries, just leave ‘First Name:’ (To delete entries, select the particular entry and then click on the cross sign.)
{5} Now Click on ‘First Name:’ (Exactly on First Name). Now the option to Edit the First Name is activated, type there “username:” (for Gmail) or YahooId: (for Yahoo)
{6} Now Click on ‘Power Tool’ Option (In right hand side…)
{7} Double click on ‘Password Box’. Now Click the newly form password entry to edit it. Rename it as ‘Password:’
{8} Now Click on ‘Properties’ Option (In right hand side…). These are the form properties.
{9} You can give any title to your form. This title is used to distinguish your forms. This Title cannot be seen by the victim.
{10} Now in Thank You URL you must put some link, like http://www.google.com or anything. Actually after entering username & password, user will get redirect to this url.(Don’t leave it blank…)
{11} Now Click on ‘Save’. After saving, click on ‘Source’ Option.
{12} Now you can see two Options, namely ‘Option1′ & ‘Option2′. Copy the full code of ‘Option2′.
{13} Now open Notepad text editor and write the following code their.
Paste the Option2 code here
{14} And now save this as index.html. And then host it, mean you will have to put it on the internet so that everyone can view it. Now i think that you would be knowing it and if in case you do not know it please leave a comment with your email-id and i will mail you how to do it.
Now you can view it by typing the url in the address bar.
NOTE: If u want to send it to the internet, then first you will have to create a hosting account which you can create on www.110mb.com and there are many other sites which you can find on the internet very easily.
I suppose that you created your account at 110mb.com
now login to your account then click on “File Manager”, then click on “upload files” or just “upload”. Then select the file which you want to send to the internet and click on upload. And you are done.
Now you can access you file on the net by just typing the url ofthe file.
And you will receive password of the users that login to your site through email-id which you’ve entered while creating the form.

Note: Guys this is totally a Crime thing to do

Phishing is Crime do not do. The above is only for Educational Purpose

Login and View Locked Scrapbook

There are three ways to use this hack.You can choose the one that best suits you.

a> Login To Your Sandbox Profile and Directly View The Locked Scrapbook

or

b> Using this Javascript :

* Navigate to the profile which has disallowed non-friends to view his/her scrapbook
* Run this script in the address bar

* In case you have any problems downloading or operating these scripts, you must read this tutorial.

Page hits flooder

This small program can flood ur page hits.

but you have to dedicate one browser for it.. like internet explorer
method:
make a batch file with these lines

@echo off
:1
start C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe “http://yoursite.com“
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >nul
taskkill.exe /im iexplore.exe
goto 1

depending upon your net speed u may increase the 10 secs time wait

with 10 sec time u may have 360 hits in an hour
with 5 sec time u may have 720 hits in an hour

Track I P Address fo Email

When you recieve an email, you receive more than just the message. The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP address of the sender. The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender. Note that this will not work if the sender uses anonymous proxy servers.



First of all, the IP address is generally found in the headers enclosed beween square brackets, for instance, [129.130.1.1]
Finding IP address in Gmail

1. Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.
2. Open the mail.
3. To display the email headers,

* Click on the inverted triangle beside Reply. Select Show Orginal.

4. manually find the IP address, proceed to 5.
5. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].

Received: from [69.138.30.1] by web4587.mail.***.yahoo.com

6. If you find more than one Received: from patterns, select the last one.
7. Track the IP address of the sender

Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail

1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.

2. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.

3. Open the mail.

4. If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed. To display the headers,

* Click on Options on the top-right corner
* In the Mail Options page, click on General Preferences
* Scroll down to Messages where you have the Headers option
* Make sure that Show all headers on incoming messages is selected
* Click on the Save button
* Go back to the mails and open that mail

5. You should see similar headers like above

Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to 6.

6. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ]. Here, it is 202.65.138.109.

That is be the IP address of the sender.
If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.


7. Track the IP address of the sender

Finding IP address in Hotmail

1. Log into your Hotmail account with your username and password.

2. Click on the Mail tab on the top.

3. Open the mail.

4. If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed. To display the headers,

* Click on Options on the top-right corner
* In the Mail Options page, click on Mail Display Settings
* In Message Headers, make sure Advanced option is checked
* Click on Ok button
* Go back to the mails and open that mail

5. You should see the email headers now.

6. manually find the IP address, proceed to 7.

7. If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender’s IP address

Hotmail headers

In this case the IP address of the sender is [68.34.60.59].

8. If you find a header with Received: from followed by a Gmail proxy like this

Hotmail headers

Look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[
In this case, the IP address of the sender is [69.140.7.58].

9. Or else if you have headers like this

Hotmail headers

Look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
In this case, the IP address of the sender is [61.83.145.129] (Spam mail).

10. If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com.

11. Track the IP address of the sender


Actually Frankly Speaking the above works only when the mail is sent from some Some Outlook or such third pary softwares. But if its sent from the Web Browser then you can try the above but not for sure if thats going to help..

Hacking Mail Passwords

Here are the most common ways someone can hack mail passwords, and how to protect yourself against them. There are more ways, and even these techniques
could be more documented but this file is not intended to be a step-by-step lamer spoonfeeding device. You only get the ideea, the rest is up to you.
If you don't, that means you're too iresponsible in the first place. Ouch!
Hope you enjoy reading this... So lets get started:

Guessing
--------
Duh! The easiest method of hacking mail passwords is password guessing. Find out all information about the victim.
For example if the victim is interested in aquarium then his password might be something like fish, whale, dolphin, aquariam. etc.
A lot of people keep there passwords their the girlfriend's name or boyfriend's name.
You can also try "forget password", available on all mail providers. Try to guess answer to the secret question the victim gave.
For example if the question is "my mother's maiden name", "my first school name", "my pet's name", etc. its quite easy to get the answer of it.
Note that a clever user doesn't actually set the answer to have anything to do with the question, do you? :>

Dictionary Attack
-----------------
A dictionary attack means you use a program that tries to connect to the mailserver using a username (your victim's), and as password,
all the words from a long filelist. If the password is a common word (eg. cat, john, sex, password, etc) and you have a big enaugh list than you might get lucky.

Brute force
-----------
Brute force works in a way like the dictionary attack, the difference is that the program you use doesn't read the passwords from a list,
but it generates them itself. Lets say you want to break a 5 digit password.
The combinations would look like this aaaaa, aaaab, aaaac, ... aaaba, aaabb, aaabc, ... , zzzzz, if you use only lowercase alphabet digits, no numbers.
The thing is that most mailservers allow you to use lowercase, uppercase, numbers and sybols, some even require a minimmum length for the password
(eg. Yahoo! length is 6 digits). A password that look like "gJe4Ty&8lk!3" is practicly unbreakable considering the time needed to try all the combinations possible.
You do the math. Brute force is theoreticly the method that CAN get the password of the victim but it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to use in practice do to the time needed.
It all depends on the length of the password. Also, many servers may ignore you after you have to much failed logins.

Using a Keylogger
-----------------
Just install a keylogger on your victim's computer. Send it by mail or IRC and tell the victim it's a cool mp3player, whatever...
There are keyloggers that only need to be cliked once and they do all the installing job by themself without the victim even notice it.
What a keylogger does is it will log all the keystrokes the victim types on that machine.
It works in background so the victim will not realize that his keystrokes are being logged.
And if all keystrokes are recorded it means even his login and password are also included when he logins to read his mail.
Then just connect to the keylogger or set it to automaticly send you the logfile by email.

Social engeniering
------------------
This is one of the best methods, and unless the one you want to get the password from is realy smart, you have all the chances to trick him.
What you will do over here is send mail to the victim from administrator@hismailserver.com so that the victim will think he received mail from his administrator!
Newbie note: For the people who are new to SMTP, it is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and it runs by default at port 25.
To get some SMTP servers use google to search "free smtp" or download a free smtp server to be able to telnet to your own computer on port 25.
Personaly I use Linux wich comes by default with sendmail, and since now it worked everytime. I also played a prank on a friend tricking him
to think he was wanted by the FBI. Ok just type the following commands, without the "" of course:

"telnet mail.mailserver.com 25" or "telnet mailserver.com 25"
"HELO victimsmailserver.com"
"MAIL FROM: administrator@victimsmailserver.com
"RCPT TO: victim@victimsmailserver.com"
"DATA"

Here you can write the message you want to send to victim.
After the message is over press [Enter] and on the new line put a ".", and press [Enter] again to indicate the server that your message is over.
The mail might look like this:

Form: administrator@victimsmailserver.com

Hello user of victimsmailserver.com. We deeply apologise for the inconvenience, but our server will go down for technical problems.
We have to announce you that you have to change your password in order to keep your account.
victimsmailserver.com keeps this information private and we assure you your data will suffer no harm.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Change your password to "revalidate_account" as soon as possible or your account will be DISACTIVATED!
You will receive a confirmation e-mail from our server to notify you that your request has been taken care of, once you've made the neccesary changes.

Once again we apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
victimsmailserver.com administrator.

Now this was just an exaple. Be creative. You can tell the victim to send his username and password by email to you
(get a fake mail like administartor@victimsmailserver.com, note "administartor" not "administrator").
Once again you will be amased how many peolpe will get tricked even if most mailservers spcificly tell you something like:
"MAILSERVER staff will NEVER ask for your password"...
Now the way experts use, is to include a link in the mail you've sent him to a webpage you've already made that looks like the victimsmailserver.com's homepage.
Just write on that page something like "lost VICTIM'S NAME account data" so the victim thinks he has to send all his data again
Once he writes to the form on that page and presses "Submit" the page will actualy send you mail with all his data, including password.
With a little knowledge of HTML and PHP you can trick even the smartest people.

More social engeniering
-----------------------
Open your victim's mail website and login over there with wrong password! You will be directed to a page with "invalid login" message.
Just modify that page and add the line "Operation time out" by editing its source code.
Also you will have to find the line
and change it to .
Now put the webpage on a your webhost, name it timeout.html.
Make a php page which uses the mail() command to send you the username and password of the victim and name it evilscript.php.
Send the victim a mail with the following link: Picture.jpg.
Or use some javascript relocation code, like "window.redirect" but this depend on the victim's mailserver and it might now work
(Yahoo! can't be tricked with relocation anymore as far as I know) so personaly I would use the link technique...
If you have knowledge of html and php then you will understand this one.

Bugs and exploits
-----------------
The best of the best use bugs in software (eg. Internet Explorer) or in the actual daemons running on the victim's mailserver.
Techniques such as "cookie collecting", "cross site scripting", "SQL injection" etc. I'm trying to figure them out myself :>
Anyone willing to help? In the future I might write an article on these techniques, as soon as I'll be able to learn them...

Conclusion
----------
Mail passwords can only be hacked if the victim is not much conscious about security.
Use the following security measures to protect yourself from your mail password being hacked.

- Keep your passwords long enough, containing numbers and special characters. Avoid keeping simple words or names as your passwords.
- Don't access your mails from a public place (keylogging danger). If possible always access your mail account from your home.
- Don't run suspicious software on your computer, it may be a keyloger, trojan or something like that.
- Always look at attachments with a suspicious eye though it may be from a trustworthy person.
- Use the "full headder" option of your mailserver to see if the email actually comes wrom where it says it does.

XP password cracking

May be these methods might break the password of windows xp But will take time

1.Take 1 XP Bootable CD
2.Start to recover
3.Go with same recover process untill u get "intilizing devices" and process bar start to increase.
4.At the same time u press "Shift F10"
this is the loophole in OS
you will have a command window
5.Type command useradd2
6.you will have a graphics windows with the option to add new password or to remove old user n so on.

XP Trick

Some good XP tricks

Here are some good tricks making your Xp running smooth:

Maximization of internet bandwidth

1. Log off first.
2. Login again as Administrator
3. Start > Run > gpedit.msc

4. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler
5. Limit Reservable Bandwidth > Enable > Value set to 0 > Apply




Maximization of internet surfing speed

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Mcft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

Delete the below value key:
{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}




Register your WinXP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mcft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
Set the value of "RegDone" = 1




Shutdown XP Faster

When a user shuts down Windows XP, first the system has to kill all services
currently running. Every once in a while the service does not shut down
instantly and windows gives it a change to shut down on its own before it kills it.
This amount of time that windows waits is stored in the system registry.
If you modify this setting, then windows will kill the service earlier. To modify
the setting, follow the directions below:

Start Regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.
Click on the "Control" Folder.
Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"
Right click on it and select Modify.
Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200).






Shutdown XP faster 2

Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows xp
when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. to solve this problem you must disable
this useless sound.

click start button then go to settings -> control panel -> Sound,
Speech and Audio devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds,
then under program events and windows menu click on "Exit Windows" sub-menu and highlight it.
now from sounds you can select,choose "none" and then click apply and ok.
now you can see some improvements when shutting down your system.





Accelerate the response time of menu:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Set the value of MenuShowDelay to 0 (Default 400)


Get rid of windows messenger

Start->Run->"gpedit.msc""
-Computer Configuration
-Administrative Templates
-Windows Components
-Windows Messenger

Here you can enable
"Do not allow Windows Messenger to be run"
and
"Do not automatically start Windows Messenger initially"
Remove Shared Documents

Open Regedit(Start- Run- Regedit) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Mcft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer My Computer NameSpace DelegateFolders

There will see a sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. By Deleting this you can remove the 'Other Files stored on This Computer' group.

Change the text in Internet Explorers title bar to anything you want

In regedit navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain

change the value of the string "Window Title" to whatever you want on the title bar of Internet Explorer - to have no title except the title of the web pages you are browsing do not enter anything for a value.
Reduce Temporary Internet F ile Space

The temporary internet files clutter your hard drive with copies of each page visited. These can build up over time and take up disk space. Even more bothersome is that instead of getting new pages each time IE often takes the page out the temp internet files. This can be a problem if you are viewing a website that is updated all the time. If you are on a slow connection such as a 56K or lower then this can be good but if you are on a fast broadband connection, like me, then you can get away with decreasing the size of your temp internet files to just one meg without any performance decrease.

Launch Internet Explorer.
Select the Tools from the menu bar.
Then select Internet Options... from the drop down menu.
Once the internet options has loaded click on the general tab.
Under the temporary internet files section click the settings button.
A settings window will load. Slide the slider all the way to the left so the size indicated in the text box on the right is one.
Click OK
Click Ok
Turn Off System Recovery

Right click on My Computer and choose Properties. Click on the System Restore tab and check the box Turn off System Restore. (This will increase Windows performance & save disk space)
Enable / Disable Firewall

Open Control Panel and double click on Network Connections. In the new box that appears right click on the Connection and click on the Advanced tab. Check or uncheck the box according to your desire.
Win XP Won’t Completely Shutdown

- Goto Control Panel, then goto Power Options.
- Click on the APM Tab, then check the "Enable Advanced Power Management support."
- Shut down your PC. It should now successfully complete the Shut Down process.
WinXP Clear Page file on shutdown

Go to Control panel Administrative tools, local security policy. then goto local policies ---> security options.
Then change the option for "Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile"
Turn off hibernation

Control Panel-Screen Saver Power-Hibernate Tab-uncheck hibernation box-reboot and hiberfil.sys is no more.
Adjust various visual effects

1. Open up the control panel
2. Go under system and click on the advanced tab
3. Click settings under Performance options
4. You can now change various graphical effects (mainly animations and shadows)

Disable error reporting

1. Open Control Panel
2. Click on Performance and Maintenance.
3. Click on System.
4. Then click on the Advanced tab
5. Click on the error-reporting button on the bottom of the windows.
6. Select Disable error reporting.
7. Click OK
8. Click OK

Getting MP3 ripping to work in Windows Media Player 8 in XP

Enter the following in the registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMediaPlayerSettingsMP3Encoding]
"LowRate"=dword:0000dac0
"MediumRate"=dword:0000fa00
"MediumHighRate"=dword:0001f400
"HighRate"=dword:0002ee00

This corresponds to 56, 64, 128 and 192 Kbps.

You can change this to your liking using the following dword hex values :

320 Kbps = dword:0004e200
256 Kbps = dword:0003e800
224 Kbps = dword:00036b00
192 Kbps = dword:0002ee00
160 Kbps = dword:00027100
128 Kbps = dword:0001f400
112 Kbps = dword:0001b580
64 Kbps = dword:0000fa00
56 Kbps = dword:0000dac0

Increase BROADBAND:

this ones simple:
this is for broad band connections. I didn’t try it on dial up but might work for dial up.
1.make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. start - run - type gpedit.msc
3. expand the "local computer policy" branch
4. expand the "administrative templates" branch
5. expand the "network branch"
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
7. in right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
8. on setting tab check the "enabled" item
9. where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0
reboot if you want to but not necessary on some systems your all done. Effect is immediate on some systems. some need re-boot. I have one machine that needs to reboot first, the others didn't. Don't know why this is.

This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage. To demonstrate the problem with this on stand alone machines start up a big download from a server with an FTP client. Try to find a server that doesn't max out your bandwidth. In this case you want a slow to medium speed server to demonstrate this. Let it run for a couple of minutes to get stable. The start up another download from the same server with another instance of your FTP client. You will notice that the available bandwidth is now being fought over and one of the clients download will be very slow or both will slow down when they should both be using the available bandwidth. Using this "tweak" both clients will have a fair share of the bandwidth and will not fight over the bandwidth.

orkut banned | youtube banned | firefox banned - solution

orkut banned | youtube banned | firefox banned - solution

Many people are facing a common problem, where Orkut.com, Youtube.com and Firefox are blocked in their systems and they get following error with a scary laugh:

" Orkut IS BANNED, orkut is banned you fool The administrators didnt write this program guess who did?? r r HAHAHA!! "

So here I’m posting a detailed procedure to solve this problem.

It happens bcoz of “Heap41a / win32.USBworm” which spreads through USB pen drives and removable storage devices. I’ll tell you manual as well as automatic method to remove the virus:

————————-

A. MANUAL METHOD:

Follow these instructions:

1. Open “Task Manager” and goto “Processes” tab.

2. Look for services with name “svchost.exe“. There will be many services with the same name. Most of them will have “SYSTEM“, “LOCAL SERVICE” OR “NETWORK SERVICE” as User Name but you have to look for “svchost.exe” service which has your currently logged in username as User Name.

3. You’ll get approx. 2 services with the name “svchost.exe” which has your Windows username. End Task them by pressing key or by selecting them and clicking on “End Process” button. It’ll confirm the action, accept it.

4. Now open “regedit” from RUN and goto following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer\Run

And look for a key in right-side pane with the name “Winlogon” which will have “heap41a\svchost.exe” in its value field. If you find this key, delete it.

5. Now goto following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

And in right-side pane, change value of “CheckedValue” to 1

6. Now enable “Show Hidden Files/Folders” option in “Tools -> Folder Options” in My Computer.

7. Right-click on Start button and select “Open“. Now open “Programs” folder, here you’ll see a folder “Startup“. Open it and if you get a hidden file there, delete it. If its not there, then close it.

8. At last open “My Computer” and open C: drive. Disable “Hide Protected System files” option in “Tools -> Folder Options“. You’ll see a folder “heap41a” in C: drive. Delete it.

Thats it. After doing all this, restart your system and you’ll get rid of the virus.

Notepad Trick !

Notepad Trick !

Step 1: Open Notepad
Step 2: Write following line in the notepad.

this app can break

Step 3: Save this file with any name.
Step 4: Close the notepad.
Step 5: Open the file again.

Voilla!!

or

Step 1: Open Notepad this time a new one , don't modify the previous one
Step 2: Write following line in the notepad.

Bush hid the facts

Step 3: Save this file with any name.
Step 4: Close the notepad.
Step 5: Open the file again.

Again HOO-HAA

GENERALIZED :

1> Open Notepad
2> Enter four words separated by spaces, wherein the first word has 4 letters, the next two have three letters, and the last word has five letters
3> DON'T hit enter at the end of the line.
4> Save the file.
5> Close Notepad.
6> Reopen Notepad.
7> Open the file you just saved.

SOme more sentences which yields the same results (all "squares") if you type them in notepad.exe and open them again.

MS app can break
java app can break
VB app can break
.NET app can break
your app can break
mine app can break
bill app can break
gate app can break
this mpp can break
bank app can break
PS app can break
U.S. app can break


The reason behind this HOO-HAA in notepad is :

In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.
It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)
2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)
This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters


"world trade center trick"..


Did you know that the flight number of the plane that had hit WTC ...on

Hack PC while chatting

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

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.

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: []

What to do next??
It is now ur job to tell me what u have done next...


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.

Change Ur Processor Title to any Name such as Pentium 7

GO TO START>RUN>TYPE REGEDIT>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>HARDWARE>DISCRIPTION>

Hide any drive on your system

Hide any drive on your system

If u r having any material like important docs and u r afraid about it . Dont worry, windows XP provides (not officialy ) a utility by which u can hide urs one or more drives.
Here is the step by step procedure how to hide any partition/drive :

1. Go to Start > run > type “diskpart”.
A DOS window will appear with following description.
DISKPART>

2. Then type “list volume”
The result will look like : ——
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
————— — ——– —- —— —- —— —-

Volume 0 F CD-ROM
Volume 1 C Programmea NTFS Partition 15GB Healthy System
Volume 2 D Softwares NTFS Partition 20GB Healthy
Volume 3 E Documents NTFS Partition 30GB Healthy
Volume 4 F Abi NTFS Partition 10GB Healthy

3. Suppose u wanna hide drive E then type “select volume 3".(without quotes)
Then a message will appear in same winwods { Volume 3 is the selected volume}

4. Now type “remove letter E”
Now a message will come { Diskpart Removed the Drive letter }

Diskpart will remove the letter .Windows XP is not having capabilty to identify the
unkown volume.

Your Data is safe now from all unauthorised users.
To access the content of hidden Drive repeat the process mentioned above.
But in 4th step replace

” remove” to “assign”
i mean type “assign letter E”

Never hide C:/ drive… otherwise ur system will not work

Hearts

This Egg works ONLY with the Windows 95 and 98 releases of Microsoft Hearts. (Mshearts.exe).

1. Run Regedit.exe (the Win9x Registry editor, located in your Win9x folder) and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Hearts
2. In the right hand pane add a new String and name it "zb" (no quotes).
3. Give it a value of 42.
4. Now run Mshearts.exe and during gameplay press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F12 the same time.

Troubleshooting of Network Interface Card

TROUBLESHOOTING OF N.I.C CARDS


1) N.I.C Not Sensing:


* First, check for the dust on the pin of the connector. If any, clean it to ensure proper contact of the tracks. (Or cleaning solution).
* If that does not solve the problem, check the crystal frequency. If it is not working, replace the crystal.
* If the crystal is O.K, check if the S.M.D or any components are dry soldered. If so, resolder the components.
* If that doesn’t work them replace the S.M.D. This will definitely solve the problem.

2) No Display If The Card Is Inserted:


* Just check for the shorting on the card, because display will not come if there is any shorting. If a shorting is found, try to correct it.
* If any component is shorted, try replacing the component. This will solve your problem.

3) N.I.C Not Connecting Through BNC As Well As UTP:


* Check for any dry soldering of the components on the card. If any, resolder the same.
* Check the transceivers on the card. If they are faulty, replace them with working ones.
* Check for shorting of the S.M.D. Correct it, if any.
* Touch up the S.M.D, in case it is dry- soldered.
Replace the main S.M.D.

N.I.C Not Connecting Through UTP Only:


In the case of the UTP, the path for the data is from the S.M.D to the transceiver & then to the cable.
Therefore, if the UTP is not working, the problem lies mainly with the transceiver. Try changing the transceiver.
If the Transceiver is O.K, try changing the delay line.

N.I.C Not Connecting Through BNC Only:


In the case of the BNC, the path for the data is from the S.M.D to the voltage converter, converter to the transceiver & then to the cable.
So, if the BNC is not working, check whether the converter is giving the proper output voltage. If it is faulty, replace it.
If the converter output is correct, then the transceiver could be faulty. Try changing the same.
If that does not help, the problem lies with the S.M.D alone. Replace it.

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:


To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, click Start then goto Run, write Regedit and press Enter.
It opens Registry Editor.
Now in Registry Editor go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).

Renaming The Start Button:

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

Use system restore when you cannot boot your system:

Use system restore when you cannot boot your system:

If your system has failed to the point where you cannot access the Windows GUI either through booting normally or through safe mode, you may still have the chance to use the System Restore feature if you have it enabled, by running it form the command prompt.

To do this:

Restart your computer and press F8 after the POST screen to bring up the Windows XP boot menu. Choose 'boot in safe mode with command prompt.'

If your system gets to the command prompt successfully, type '%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe' and then press enter.

Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your computer to a previous saved point.

Enabling right click on websites which block it

Enabling right click on websites which block it

Many websites nowadays disable the right click function of the mouse button which I think could be very annoying sometimes. This is done so that we can’t steal images, file, video, or any other website’s stuff. What about if we extremely in a need of the file without any profit-making and other bad intentions? In this post a tutorial is included to teach you how to solve the problem, without having to open the source code of course!

If you use Internet Explorer 6 and 7

Click “Tools”->”Internet Options”
Click the “Security” tab.
Click “Custom Level”
Scroll down to the “scripting” section.
Set “Active Scripting” to “disable” (Active scripts are programs written in Javascript)
Click “Ok”. Restart your internet browser.
Note: This will disable the Javascript from being rendered by your Internet Explorer browser which would mean the right click disabled’s script in the website will not work anymore.
For Mozilla Firefox browser, these are the steps which gave the same effect (maybe be vary depending on the version).

Go to “Tools” -> “Options”
Click “Web Features”
Untick enable JavaScript
Alternatively, you can also use this method to re-enabled the website right click function.
Enter the Javascript code below inside your browser’s address bar. (source)

javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null

Voila!

Insert your name in the bottom right taskbar

Insert your name in the bottom right taskbar!!!

Hey its a very cool trick u can amaze u r freinds and relatives by insertng ur name on the bottom right taskbar. Follow the instructions bellow:

Open Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Customize ->Time
here u can see A.M. and P.M. change it with u r name. Thats it.

Show your designed wallpaper while booting

Show your designed wallpaper while booting

To start with just a simple one. Guess many of us knows this one that how to show your own image or name while PC boots up. In Windows 98 it was possible by editing the logol.bmp file. But in XP, simply u need to edit a registry value.

First create a BMP file as u want. Its size should be at least 800*600 and save it.

Go to run.

Type "regedit" press enter.

In registry editor navigate to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop".

U will find a value called "wallpaper" there. Double click that and set the value to the location of the BMP file (with Full Path. Eg: C:\Wallpaper\xyz.bmp).

If the value called wallpaper is not present then create a new string value and name it as Wallpaper and set its value.

Now Reboot. Your designed wallpaper will b shown just before the welcome screen appears.

Making all files and folders open fast

Making all files and folders open fast

Go to Start then Run
Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok'
Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"
Select "MenuShowDelay"
Right click and select "Modify'
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. I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood.

Tired of typing www for logging onto every website...???

Tired of typing www for logging onto every website...???

Every time you enter a webadress you have to enter www before entering the web address.instead of doing this just type the website name on the address bar and use the short cut key-CTRL+ENTER.The website opens.

Use Microsoft Calculator to surf Internet

Use Microsoft Calculator to surf Internet

1. Open your MS Calculator. This is normally found in Start => All Programs => Accessories => Calculator.
2. Open the help-window by pressing the F1 key.
3. Click the top-left corner icon of the help window once (Standard is a Document with a Questionmark).
4. Select Go to URL-address.
5. Type your address into the avaliable field, but remember to type http://, and not just www. (or equivalent).
6. Have fun!

Dummy entries in Add/Remove Programs list

Sometimes, even after program are uninstalled, or due to the files being deleted instead of a uninstalled, the entry in the Add/Remove Programs list does not get deleted. To remove it form the list: 1. Start the Registry Editor. 2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Uninstall. 3. Delete the program entry here. You can also use Tweak UI to do this.

How to Hack an EXE File

Could you edit an executable file when it has been compiled? Yes, you could. But you could only change the String data. How? Using the MS-DOS Text Editor. The String data is text, but in the file will appear different. For example, if in the application appears

About NotePad in the compiled file will appear A b o u t N o t e P a d with an space between each word. Before modifying the file, make a back-up of it. If you want to modify the file, first you have to open it using the MS-DOS Text Editor and open the file as Binary. Then activate the Insert key and search for some text data in the program. But, it isn't as easy as said. You have to search it manually, 'coz the words are separated by a space between. Then replace each word for anyone you want. Example:

N o t e P a d to M y P r o g r
BE CAREFUL: The file must weight the same than the original; if not, it could not work.
[Even then the file may not work. For example, it might calculate its checksum and notice that you have made changes. This is certainly a dangerous technique. So at least make a backup copy of the file before you mess with it.

Any more doubts contact me.....

Speed Up Ur Modem

Even if your modem if apparently working well, the baud rate of your COM Port might not allow you to reach top-speed. To improve your port's speed:

* Click Start >Settings > Control Panel > System.
* Click the Device Manager tab, and click on the "+" sign next to Ports (COM & LPT).
* Select the port your modem uses, click Properties, then click the Port settings tab and set the Bits per second to 115200 bps. That way you won't have a sort of filter on the Port.

Restart only Windows

When restarting Windows, you don't always need to go to thought the BIOS initialization and POST. Instead of simple clicking on Restart form the Shut Down Windows dialog box, help down the Shift key as you click on OK. This will restart only Windows. This is particularly useful when you change some registry entries or a few system settings.

Improve Removable Disk Drive Performance
Windows gives you the option to use write-behind caching to improve the performance of removable disk drivers.

* Open control Panel > System > Performance and click on File System.
* Check the Enable write-behind caching on all removable disk drives check box under the removable Disk tab and click OK

Note: If this result in a problem with disk operations, uncheck the Enable write-behind caching on all removable disk drives check box.
