What is Keylogger ?

2010-06-08T19:17:00.002+05:30

                      A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer's keyboard. As a hardware device, a keylogger is a small battery-sized plug that serves as a connector between the user's keyboard and computer. Because the device resembles an ordinary keyboard plug, it is relatively easy for someone who wants to monitor a user's behavior to physically hide such a device "in plain sight." (It also helps that most workstation keyboards plug into the back of the computer.) As the user types, the device collects each keystroke and saves it as text in its own miniature hard drive. At a later point in time, the person who installed the keylogger must return and physically remove the device in order to access the information the device has gathered.
                                           A keylogger program does not require physical access to the user's computer. It can be downloaded on purpose by someone who wants to monitor activity on a particular computer or it can be downloaded unwittingly as spyware and executed as part of a rootkit or remote administration (RAT) Trojan horse. A keylogger program typically consists of two files that get installed in the same directory: a dynamic link library (DLL) file (which does all the recording) and an executable file (.EXE) that installs the DLL file and triggers it to work. The keylogger program records each keystroke the user types and uploads the information over the Internet periodically to whoever installed the program.

           Although keylogger programs are promoted for benign purposes like allowing parents to monitor their children's whereabouts on the Internet, most privacy advocates agree that the potential for abuse is so great that legislation should be enacted to clearly make the unauthorized use of keyloggers a criminal offense.

Hacking Tools.

A hacking tool is a program designed to assist with hacking, or a legitimate utility that can also be used for hacking.

Examples include Nmap, Nessus, John the Ripper, SuperScan, p0f, and Winzapper.Bribes, even chocolate bars, have also been designated as among the most potent hacking tools, due to its potential exploitation in social engineering attacks. Occasionally, common software such as ActiveX is exploited as a hacking tool as well.
Hacking tools such as Cain and Abel, however, are well known as Script Kiddie Tools. Script kiddies are people who follow instructions from a manual, without realizing how it happens. These Script Kiddies have been an enormous threat to computer security as there are many hacking tools and keyloggers up for download and are free.

Essential Hacking Tools for every Hacker.

Here is a list of all the essential hacking tools that every hacker should possess.Here in this post I will give details of different Hacking/Security tools and utilities along with the download links.I have also divided these tools into their respective categories for ease of understanding.

NETWORK SCANNERS AND TCP/IP UTILITIES
1. IP TOOLS

IP-Tools offers many TCP/IP utilities in one program. This award-winning program can work under Windows 98/ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000/XP/2003, Windows Vista and is indispensable for anyone who uses the Internet or Intranet.

It includes the following utilities

* Local Info – examines the local host and shows info about processor, memory, Winsock data, etc.
* Name Scanner – scans all hostnames within a range of IP addresses
* Port Scanner – scans network(s) for active TCP based services
* Ping Scanner – pings a remote hosts over the network
* Telnet – telnet client
* HTTP – HTTP client
* IP-Monitor – shows network traffic in real time & many more

IP TOOLS has almost all the utilities built into it.So there is no need to use separate tools for every individual process of hacking such as Port scanning,Who is scanning, IP monitor etc.It’s like a hacking tool kit which has all the necessary tools for hacking.

2. NMAP

Nmap is a similar hacking/security tool as IP Tools which offer slightly different set of features.Unlike IP Tools Nmap is a freeware.It is designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts.Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers and both console and graphical versions are available

2. SAMINSIDE (For Windows Password Recovery)

SAMInside is designated for the recovery of Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista user passwords.

The following are some of the highlighting features of Saminside.

* The program doesn’t require installation.It can be directly run from CD,Disk or Pendrive.
* Includes over 10 types of data import and 6 types of password attack

1. Brute-force attack
2. Distributed attack
3. Mask attack
4. Dictionary attack
5. Hybrid attack
6. Pre-calculated tables attack

* Run’s very fast since the program is completely written in assembler.

As far as my opinion is concerned both LC4 and SAMINSIDE are powerful password crackers for cracking Windows Passwords.However LC4 has slightly upper hand over Saminside.I recommend LC4 for advanced users but Saminside is more suitable for novice users.

PLEASE REMEMBER: virusboyravneet.blogspot.com take no responsibility of whatsoever damaged is made by you by this knowledge. This is just for the educational purposes so you can secure your own computer or online accounts.

Most of the above tools are shareware which means that you have to pay for them.But they are really worth for their money.Most of the time freewares offer limited functionality/features than the sharewares and hence I recommend them to my visitors.But still you can get 99% of all the softwares for free (cracked versions) on the internet.I will not discuss about how/where to download the cracked versions of the softwares for obvious reasons.It’s all up to you how you get these softwares.

Special Thanks to Comcracker.

What is HACKING ?

" HACKING "

Hacking refers to the re-configuring or re-programming of a system to function in ways not facilitated by the owner, administrator, or designer. The term(s) have several related meanings in the technology and computer science fields, wherein a "hack" may refer to a clever or quick fix to a computer program problem, or to what may be perceived to be a clumsy or inelegant (but usually relatively quick) solution to a problem, such as a "kludge".
The terms "hack" and "hacking" are also used to refer to a modification of a program or device to give the user access to features that were otherwise unavailable, such as by circuit bending. It is from this usage that the term "hacking" is often incorrectly used to refer to more nefarious criminal uses such as identity theft, credit card fraud or other actions categorized as computer crime; there being a distinction between security breaking and hacking, a better term for security breaking would be "cracking".

Origin of term:-

The term was used pejoratively by mathematician John Nash. When he became a C.L.E Moore Instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1951, he brought this term with him.^[2]
The term achieved widespread use in the 1960s and its meaning then evolved to a quick, elaborate and/or bodged solution students devised for a technical obstacle; it was used with hacker, meaning one who discovers and implements a hack. The Jargon File, a glossary of slang from technical cultures at the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI Lab, Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Carnegie Mellon University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and others gave the tongue-in-cheek derivation "German word meaning 'someone who makes furniture with an axe'". This derivation was carried through when the Jargon File was eventually published as "The Hacker's Dictionary" in 1983 and later republished as "The New Hacker's Dictionary". However any student of German will know that the German word 'Hacker' (literal translation: "someone who chops") has nothing to do with making furniture, and that the derivation was intended as a wise-crack.
See: MIT hacks
Over time, the meaning of the word there was expanded, perhaps through contact with the amateur radio community. It came to mean either a kludge, or the opposite of a kludge, as in a clever or elegant solution to a difficult problem. In the term "hack value" it also acquired a meaning of anything that was simultaneously fun and clever.
The initial hacker community at MIT, particularly those associated with the Tech Model Railroad Club, applied this pre-existing local slang to computer programming, producing the variant which first came into common use outside MIT.

History:-

The term "hack" was first used by US university computing centre staff in the mid-1960s. The context determined whether the complimentary or derogatory meanings were implied. Phrases such as "ugly hack" or "quick hack" generally referred to the latter meaning; phrases such as "cool hack" or "neat hack", to the former. In modern computer programming, a "hack" can refer to a solution or method which functions correctly but which is "ugly" in its concept, which works outside the accepted structures and norms of the environment, or which is not easily extendable or maintainable (see kludge). The programmer keeps beating on it until a solution is found. The jargon used by hackers is called "Hackish" (see the Jargon file). This should not be confused with "1337" or "leetspeak."
In a similar vein, a "hack" may refer to works outside of computer programming. For example, a math hack means a clever solution to a mathematical problem. The GNU General Public License has been described as^[who?] a copyright hack because it cleverly uses the copyright laws for a purpose the lawmakers did not foresee. All of these uses now also seem to be spreading beyond MIT as well.
On many internet websites and in everyday language the word "hack" can be slang for "copy", "imitation" or "rip-off."

A DIY musician probes the circuit board of a synthesizer for "bends" using a jeweler's screwdriver and alligator clips

The term has since acquired an additional and now more common meaning, since approximately the 1980s; this more modern definition was initially associated with crackers. This growing use of the term "hack" is to refer to a program that (sometimes illegally) modifies another program, often a computer game, giving the user access to features otherwise inaccessible to them. As an example of this use, for Palm OS users (until the 4th iteration of this operating system), a "hack" refers to an extension of the operating system which provides additional functionality. The general media also uses this term to describe the act of illegally breaking into a computer, but this meaning is disputed.
The term is additionally used by electronics hobbyists to refer to simple modifications to electronic hardware such as a graphing calculators, video game consoles, electronic musical keyboards or other device (see CueCat for a notorious example) to expose or add functionality to a device that was unintended for use by end users by the company who created it. A number of techno musicians have modified 1980s-era Casio SK-1 sampling keyboards to create unusual sounds by doing circuit bending: connecting wires to different leads of the integrated circuit chips. The results of these DIY experiments range from opening up previously inaccessible features that were part of the chip design to producing the strange, dis-harmonic digital tones that became part of the techno music style. Companies take different attitudes towards such practices, ranging from open acceptance (such as Texas Instruments for its graphing calculators and Lego for its Lego Mindstorms robotics gear) to outright hostility (such as Microsoft's attempts to lock out Xbox hackers or the DRM routines on Blu-ray Disc players designed to sabotage compromised players).
