Hacking Gmail account using GX Cookie

2012-01-12T22:23:00.000-08:00

Introduction

Hacking web application was always curious for the script kiddies. And hacking free web email account is every geek first attempt. The method which I will describe in this post is not new; the same method can be applied to yahoo and other free web email services too.

The method we will be using is cookie stealing and replaying the same back to the Gmail server. There are many ways you can steal cookie, one of them is XSS (Cross site scripting) discussed by other is earlier post. But we won’t be using any XSS here, in our part of attack we will use some local tool to steal cookie and use that cookie to get an access to Gmail account.

Sql Injection with Sqlmap (Backtrack 5)

2012-01-12T05:35:00.000-08:00

Introduction

A SQL injection is often used to attack the security of a website by inputting SQL statements in a web form to get a badly designed website to perform operations on the database other than the usual operations as intended by the designer. SQL injection is a code injection technique that exploits security vulnerability in a website's software. The vulnerability happens when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and unexpectedly executed.

Uninstall Ubuntu From A Dual-Booting Machine

2011-11-18T04:18:00.001-08:00

Ubuntu? I believe most of us have, as Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distros out there. Canonical – the creator of Ubuntu – has successfully simplified the installation process of its product so much that even the most non-geeky computer users can easily try it and then install it on their computer.

Unfortunately, even though the latest version of Ubuntu is so much easier to use compared to earlier versions, most non-geeky computer users still find it a little bit intimidating. Many common daily computer tasks like downloading and installing applications often require users to deal with command lines. Maybe that’s why many Windows users that I know feel uncomfortable using Ubuntu and have decided to ditch it.

20 Top Windows Registry Hacks

2011-11-16T23:13:00.001-08:00

Improve performance, fix security holes, and completely alter the most fundemental Windows behaviour with these easy top tips.

There's nothing that quite compares to the Registry. It's packed with useful settings that can improve performance, fix security holes and change even the most fundamental Windows behaviour for the better. And many of these features simply can't be accessed in any other way.

Be careful, though: the Registry has more than its fair share of traps. If you're not cautious, you could cause more problems than you solve. But with a little care you can get on with creating a better system that’s tailored towards your needs.

Don't forget - if you're into Windows hacking check out our guide to building your own Windows and if you're looking to upgrade, we ask: How safe is Windows 7.

How To Hack – Beginners Guide to Hacking Computers

2011-11-12T22:55:00.001-08:00

“ The Only True Guide to Learning How to Hack ” originally by R4di4tion with a few updates by myself.

You stay up all night on the PC typing and typing. No, you’re not hacking. You’re begging someone on IRC to teach you how to hack! Let’s look at the facts:

You’re a luser and you’re annoying. No one likes you if you ask others how to hack without taking the least amount of initiative.
You’re not worthy of any title even resembling hacker, cracker, phreaker, etc., so don’t go around calling yourself that! The more you do, the less likely you are to find someone willing to teach you how to hack (which is an infinitesimal chance, any way).
You’re wasting your time (if you couldn’t infer that in the first place). Many real hackers (not those shitty script kiddies) spend all their insomniac hours reading and, yes even, HACKING! (Hacking doesn’t necessarily (but usually does) mean breaking into another system. It could mean just working on your own system, BUT NOT WINDOWS ’9x (unless you’re doing some really menacing registry shit, in which case, you’re kind of cool).)
