Search For Resources

2009-01-03T03:59:00.001-08:00

I was a bored person when I surf through net before I learn about Special capabilities of Google search engine. Many web sites wanted to register me with them and submit about me such as my e mail address , my name, may be my address and so on even I need a single e book. Many web site need our details when we need download something from it. But who likes to share own details to everyone who ask about it especially ,in online. No one. But fortunately one day I hared about Google searching engine's special query syntax. I search about it and found many details about it (by reading articles and books). So this article about Google's special query syntax.

there are two types of searching engines. "Searchable subject indexes" such as yahoo (mostly known as directories ) who search only titles and descriptions of particular web site. Other one is "full text search engines" such as Google (mostly known as crawlers or meta crawlers) which has one or multiple spider programs for crawl the web and index web sites. So one can search not only descriptions and titles of the sites but also total content of the site.

Every searching engine has Boolean default.(according to Boolean default searching engine determine what to do if multiple key word entered by the user)Google's Boolean default is "AND". It's mean Google search for all key words that has entered by the user. If we entered Toyota cars Google will search about pages that contain both Toyota and Cars.

Google is not a case sensitive searching engine. It's means both Cyber World same as CYBER WORLD and cyber world.

Google not support more than 10 query worlds .If user enter more than 10 query words Google Searching engine will ignore additional words.

Okay that is little bit about Google basics (Probably there are more than above but I mainly focused on Google special syntax)

With the help of Google special syntax we can search for specific part of web pages or special kind of information.

We can also combine this syntax for get more narrow results . The point is many syntaxes work together fine but some of them don't. So we have to be aware.

Okay here comes the Google special syntax

1 intitle: restricts your search to the titles of web pages.

E.g intitle:"cyberworld"

2 inurl: restricts your search to the URLs of web pages. This syntax tends to work well

for finding search and help pages, because they tend to be rather regular in composition.

Mixing with "index of" option you will get interesting results.

e.g

inurl:admin this will bring all web pages which have "admin" in their url

3 "index of " this is the one of most useful special syntax of Google. Using this syntax you will find directory listings of specific folders on servers.

e.g

"index of" books - this will bring you to book directory on servers.(if such directory is available)

4 intext: searches only body text (i.e., ignores link text, URLs, and titles)

intext:"yahoo.com"

intext:html

5 inanchor: searches for text in a page's link anchors. A link anchor is the descriptive

text of a link.

6 site: allows you to narrow your search by either a site or a top-level domain.

site:loc.gov

site:thomas.loc.gov

site:edu

site:nc.us

6 link: returns a list of pages linking to the specified URL.

7 cache: finds a copy of the page that Google indexed even if that page is no longer

available at its original URL or has since changed its content completely. This is

particularly useful for pages that change often.

7 filetype: searches the suffixes or filename extensions. We can search for different file types then Google will bring respect file type instead *html file

e.g

filetype:doc (for word files)

filetype:xls (for excel files)

just like that you may find more interesting results using filetype:db or filetype:mdb.

We can also add phrase before it

homeschooling filetype:pdf

hacking filetype:pdf

8 related:, as you might expect, finds pages that are related to the specified page.

9 info: provides a page of links to more information about a specified URL. Information

includes a link to the URL's cache, a list of pages that link to that URL, pages that are

related to that URL, and pages that contain that URL. Note that this information is

dependent on whether Google has indexed that URL or not. If Google hasn't indexed that

URL, information will obviously be more l imited.

info:www.oreilly.com

info:www.nytimes.com/technology

10 phonebook:, as you might expect, looks up phone numbers.

phonebook:John Doe CA

phonebook:(510) 555-1212

there are more special syntaxes such as allintitle,allinurl, allintext but this strings hard to combine with others. You can get experienced try them by your self.

combining syntaxes will bring more interesting results.

We can also combining two or more particular syntaxes and narrow our results.

guessing is more important when you search for resources using this manner. You have to guess the file names /sites and directories. But this is fun than surf one page to another one site to another registering and expecting tons of junk e mails.

Check this one

intitle:"index of" passwords or "index of" passwords,PWD or passwd

Actually above queries bring us to real password directories of servers. Most of this password files have encrypted.

We have to be careful when we surf through net using this manner. And be aware to do nothing illegal. we may encounter some web sites which have some vulnerabilities. But our responsibility is not hack into it and destroy the site. Instead we must contact respect web master and notify him.

So that's only I know about Google special syntax may be you know more things. May be I wrote some wrong things so let I know about them. Send all your comments to easyguid@gmail.com

Surf Internet Different Way 2

Internet is a public network. There are many kind of people using it for different purposes. So it's good to be aware when you surf through internet. In cyber the space privacy violation is most common incident. You have to protect your privacy. Did you know that when you surf internet , many people focus their eye on you? Usually many web sites keep track about your online activities such as , your interests , frequently visiting web sites. What is the reason. May be marketing purpose. Sometimes this tracks can be a boomerang which turns back and hit on your head. So how to avoid this problems. How to leave internet without trace? May be anonymity can help you.

When you connect your computer to the internet, it is assigned an IP address. If you can hide your IP address ,it's be a good solution. But How? First of all lets look at the possibility of trace you according to internet connection that you are using.

Leased lines

This type of connection must installed by local ISP(internet service provider) in your premise. Mostly you have to sign a contract and you must supply identification papers. And static IP address will be assign. It's very easy to find you if you done some annoying thing in online.

Dial up connections

Though many ISPs' provide free accounts the logs are kept either at the ISP or at the Telecom of calls that were made. Mostly ISP is using RADIOUS servers to track details. The RADIOUS server record the time you dialed in, the connection speed, reason for disconnecting and the time that you were disconnected. Also user ID that you used.

With this information telecom can provide the source number of the call. If ISP record the source number by them selves with the help of CLI system the telecom never involve at all.

Well probably be a anonymous is not a easy task. But there are some people in internet who think that anyone have a right to be a anonymous. They run anonymous proxy servers. With the help of them you can leave online without any trace.

Anonymous proxy server is special kind of server which act as intermediate between your computer and internet. You can access web sites through them. How ever you have to configure your web browser to work with them. Anonymous proxy servers request for web sites on your behalf. It's using it's own IP instead your IP. So you don't have to worry about web site logs because they kept anonymous proxy's IP not your one.

Number of both free and commercial anonymous proxy servers are available in online. Here is a list of free anonymous proxy servers.

http://www.anonymitychecker.com/page1.html

http://www.freeproxylists.com

http://www.myipproxylist.com/anonymous-proxy.html

http://web-proxy-server.com

http://www.tntproxy.com/

http://www.fresh-proxy-list.net/

By the way there are web based proxy servers also available. You don't want to configure your browser. What you need to do is just go to web based proxy and type the URL of the site that you want to visit in provided text area and click on surf button. They proxy all connections to the destination web site. They also encrypt all details so even they need they can't determine the source.

This web based proxy also good solution to visit blocked web sites. Many schools blocked sites like myspace. You can use this web based proxy servers to brake all the barriers. Here is free web based proxy list.

http://www.facebookproxy.co.uk

http://www.olympicproxy.com/

http://www.online-proxy.net

http://Anonymizer.com

How ever if your ISP use transparent proxy technology above technique mostly useless.

Also you can try "Wingate servers" for hide your IP. Wingate servers run on windows platforms and act as proxy server for small networks. In many cases they are not well configured so any one can relay their packets through wingate.

There are some tools also available to hide your IP address. Search Google for IP hiding tools such as switchproxy which supports defining a list of proxy servers in the Web browser and automatically switching between them.

Introduction

Internet is a blend of services. Network of networks. Only other hand it's the world greatest information super highway. It has many interconnected networks, large number of routers and gateways and millions Servers and uncountable number of PC s. People spent billions of dollars and still they are spending money to create, maintain and extend this network infrastructure. The question is why we need networks?

The answer is "to share the resources". Networks doing great roll in resources sharing drama. All companion services of the internet (Ftp service, Gopher service, WAIS service ,Usenet , E mail and new shining star www) were invented with the purpose of sharing resources.

Here is a summery of Internet history.

1969-Birth of Internet

ARPANET commissioned by Department of Defense for research into networking

First node at UCLA (Los angeles) closely followed by nodes at Stanford Research Institute, UCSB (Santa Barbara) and U of Utah

1971-People communicate over a network

15 nodes(23 hosts) on ARPANET

E mail invented-a program to send messages across a distributed network.(And nowadays too)

1972-computers can connect more freely and easily

First public demonstration of ARPANET between 40 machines.

Internetworking Working Group(INWG) created to address need for establishing agreed upon protocols

Telnet specification. Telnet is still a relevant means of inter-machine connection today

1973-Global Networking becomes a reality

First international connection to the ARPANET: university collage of London and Royal Radar establishment (Norway)

Ethernet outlined-this how local networks are basically connected today.

Internet ideas started.

Gateways define how large networks can be connect together.

File Transfer Protocol(FTP) specified

1974- Packets become mode of transfer

Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) specified.

Telnet, a commercial version of ARPANET opened-the first public packet data service

1979-News groups raised

Computer science department research computer network established in USA.

USENET established and still thrives today.

Three news groups established by the end of year.

ARPA establishes the Internet Configuration Control Board(ICCB).

Packet Radio Network (PRNET) experiment stars with ARPA funding.

Most communication take place between mobile vans,

1981-Things start to come together

CSNET(Computer Science NETwork) established to provide networking services to university scientists with no access to ARPANET.

This CSNET later becomes known as the Computer and Science Network.

1982-TCP/IP defines future communication

DCA and ARPA establishes the Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) and Internet Protocol(IP), as a protocol suit.

1983-Internt gets bigger

Name server developed.

Large number of nodes.

Hard to remember exact path.

Desktop workstations come into being.

Internet Activities Board established ,replacing ICCB

1984-Growth internet continues

Number of hosts breaks 1000.

Domain name servers(DNS) introduced.

1986- Power of internet realized

5000 hosts and 241 news groups.

NSFNET created (backbone speed 56 Kbps)

NSF established five super computing centers to provide high computing power for all.

Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) designed to enhance Usenet news performance over TCP/IP.

1987-Commercialisation of internet begins

Number of hosts 28 000

1991-Borth of world wide web

World wide web released by CERN; by Tim Burners-lee.

Originally developed to provide a distributed hypermedia system.

Easy access to any form of information anywhere in the world.

Initially non graphic.

Revolutionized modern communications and even our way of life.

1992- Multimedia changes the face of Internet

Number of hosts breaks 1 million and news groups 4000.

Internet society (ISOC) is chartered.

First MBONE audio multicast (March) and video multicast(November).

The term "Surfing the internet" is coined by Jean Armour Polly

1993-The www revolution truly begins.

Number of hosts 2 million.

600 www sites.

InterNIC created by NSF to provide specific internet services

1 Directory and database services.

2 Registration services.

3 Information services.

Business and media really take notice of the internet.

US white house and United Nations(UN) comes on line.

Mosaic takes the internet by storm.

1994-commercialization begins

Number of hosts 3 million and 10 000 www sites.

10000 news groups.

ARPANET/Internet celebrates the 25^th anniversary.

Local communities begin to be wired up directly to the internet.

US senate and white house provide information servers.

Shopping malls, banks arrive on the internet.

NSFNET traffic passes 10 trillion bytes per month.

www edges out telnet to become 2^nd most popular service on the net.

UK HM Treasury on line(http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/)

1995-Comercialization continues .

6.5 million hosts, 100,000 www sites.

NSFNET revert back to a research network.

Main US backbone traffic now routed through interconnected network providers.

www surpasses FTP-data in March as the service with greatest traffic on NSFNET based on packet count, and in April based on byte count.

Traditional on line dial up systems (AOL, Compuserve) begin to provide on line access.

A number of net related companies go public, with Netscape leading the pack.

Registration of domain names is no longer free.

Technologies of the year: www, search engines.

New www technologies emerged (java, java script, Active x)

1996-Microsoft enters to www

The www browser war begins, fought primary between Netscape and Microsoft. And finally Microsoft's internet explorer wins.

Before www (World Wide Web) came to the roll other services were so populated. But people have to have some talents to use these services except WWW. (Just like UNIX and Windows).

After WWW introduced it defeat all other services and come to major place.

Though other old services and tools such as "telnet and ftp" still working

Most of you never need to use them directly because now we have easy to use web based clients to do same works. But remember old is gold. There are some people who love to use these old services. Majority of them are hackers, skilled individuals who have great understanding and knowledge about programming and systems. In the cyberspace they are like free birds. They haven't boundary, they do anything with their special tools and find everything they need instantly. How they do that. Are they having Aladdin's Lamp? No because they don't serf internet regular way, they surf internet from different way…

How ToFake URL

2008-10-30T09:09:00.001-07:00

Wanna play with your friends.Here is a cool one.Lets redirect one web site
to anotherone.Okay okay just kidding.We are not going to hack web site
and redirect it to another instead we are going to do some editing in
your computer and fake URL.Then your browser redirect the domain name to another site.
But you can play with your frineds and show your self as a great hacker.
You can do this editing in you computer and bring friends and show magics.
Or you can do this editing in your friends computer and make him fool.
Oka okay lets start the work.Lets assume there is a website call www.mysite.com
and you want to redirect www.facebook.com to it.We have to edit "host" file.
In windows you will find it in C:\windows\system32\drivers\ect,If you are
linux user try ect folder.Open "host" file with text editor.(Notepad.you cant just double click
and open it becouse it hasn't extention.so simply drag and drop it in to notepad)
You will see some thing like this.

# Copyright (c) 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

Now we need the IP address of www.misite.com.(If you read our early article
you alredy know how to find IP address of a web site).Open command line
then type

tracert www.misite.com or
ping www.mysite.com

After you find IP address.lets assume it is 127.25.06.300(No IP address
has number grater than 255,In this case I jam the Ip address).Now add the

127.25.06.300 www.facebook.com to host file.Now it see like this

# Copyright (c) 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
127.25.06.300 www.facebook.com

Now save changes and close the notepad.Open your browser and type
www.facebook.com in address bar.WOW you will see mysite.com instead
www.facebook.com.(Congradulations!!!!!!)

How to send fake e mails

2008-10-28T09:30:00.001-07:00

One day I got an e mail from eden@nasa.gov(WOW).And I was impresed.
But it wasn't real one.It's a fake e mail.Did you ever got an email
like that?.So what happened if you had an e mail from your own e mail
address.Many people send fake e mails for defferent purposes.Some of them
send fake e mails as hoax.But some people use this e mails for phising
attacks.So It's good to be aware when you reading your emails.If it differ
from regular e mails,if it hasn't header or not arrange well, it's more
like to be a fake one.
Okay Do you want to send fake e mials ?It's not difficult.But
remember if you send tons of fake e mails as spams or do some illegal
things you will have serious troubles.Anyway this is just tutorial.

To send fake e mail we need a mail exchanger.Now important question.
How we find such a mail server.Many web sites run their own mail servers.
many of them allow you to telnet to them and send some e mails.But most
of them do not allow you to relay e mails to other servers.So guessing is
important.If you are lucky you will find some mail server which allow
to relay e mails to other servers.
As my example I get deadfake.com(It allow you to send fake e mails via it's
mail server.)
open command line and type

nslookup -q=mx deadfake.com

It will bring few lines and look for something like this

deadfake.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.deadfake.com

If you got more than 1 mail exchangers pick the one with preference number.

Now we going to telnet it.Type

telnet mail.deadfake.com 25
hit enter.If you succeed server will give welcome message.Okay now
you connect with mail server and don't waste the time.If you waste
time mail server will close your connection.And remember you can't
use backspace key.You have to type every key very carefully and
correctly.If you type something wrong you have to begin from 1st step.

As the example I'm going to send some fake e mail to max@cyberwold2.tk
and I want to show him it was sent by eden@nasa.gov.Type

helo nasa.gov hit enter

mail from: <eden@nasa.gov> hit enter

rcpt to: <max@cyberwolrd2.tk> hit enter

Data
hit enter and type your message.After you finish your message hit enter
and type single period(.).It's very important. And hit enter agein and type
quit to exit from mail server.

Remember:when you choose senders e mail address be aware to choose only
exsist domain name.

When you write your message ,It's good to add header before a message.
you can add something like this.

Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2007 12:49:13 +0100 (BST)
From: Eden <eden@nasa.gov>
To: cybremax <max@cyberworld2.tk>
Subject: Fake mail

Thats all and thank you !!!!

How to find Ip address via messengers

2008-10-27T09:45:00.001-07:00

In cyberspace people like to chat with others.Most of them love
to use messengers,becouse they have pritty cool options.But did
you ever though that an introder can break in to your computer
system due to your single chat session.(confused???)
    Your cyberpal can find your IP address while he chat
with you via messenger.Now someone can ask question.Whats the
matter if somebody knew my IP address? or What he going to do
with my IP address?

Remember in cyberspace your IP address is very important thing
just like your personal phone number.With your IP address people
can do many things.They can break in to your computer,crash it or
steal your sensitive details like credit card details,install malwares,
or use your computer to host their web site.
    I wrote this not only tell you to protect your self but also
tell you to how to find someone's IP address via messengers.

Okay if you want to see your cyberpal's IP address you have to set up
a file transfer otherwhise you got the IP of some server.Ask him that
you like to show him your photo or something and then transfer the
file via messenger.When you transfer a file via messenger,two divices(your
computer and his/her computer) will establish peer to peer link(dedicaded
direct link).when you selecting a file to transfer it's good to select
large file.If you use MSN messenger a file must be more
than 1024KB becouse if you send file less than 1024KB you will not find
your cyber pals IP inseted you will get some microsoft server IP address.

Okay go to command line during file transfer.Then type "netstat -a"
(without quotes)and hit enter.Look for port 80 or.....

My suggestion:go cmd before file transfer and type netstat -a .remember
the ports and IP addresses.Then type netstat -a again while file trnsfer
it will help you to recognize you cyber pal's IP address.
Thats all.Thank you!!!

How to change text in start menu button

2008-10-24T16:13:00.000-07:00

It's not too difficult.To change text on start button we have to edit
"explorer.exe" which locate in Windows folder.To do this it's better
to have editor,Becouse it minimize our effort. SO i suggest "Resource
hacker".You may find it from http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/ or serch google for it.

1)First of all make a backup copy of "explorer.exe"
2)Run Resource Hacker and click on File-->open and open explorer.exe
Now you will see something like this.

3)Click on +sign to expand the "String table",Then click on "37"
4)In right side you will see something like this

STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
578, "start"
579, "There was an internal error and one of the windows you were using has been closed."
580, "Restrictions"
581, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
590, "Hiding your inactive notification icons..."
591, "To see the hidden icons, click this button."
}

5)Substitute "start" with any word you like(leve double quotes.don't
delete them)in my case I substitute it with "CYBERWORLD".
see bellow figure.

6)Ok. Now hit on "compile script" button.And wait a second.
7)Windows do not allow you to save changes to explorer.exe.(If you see
nothing ,even error message when you hit on save.but windows do not allow changes)
so save as it with other name and put it on windows folder.
i.e explorermax.exe

7)Press windows+R key combination for RUN dialog box and type regedit .hit enter
Now you got registry editer.

8)navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon

Double click on "shell" entry.It will open edit entry dialog box.
in value data field enter name of customized explorer.exe's name
in my case it is "explorermax.exe.then click ok.exit from registry editer.

*you have to either restart computer or log of and again log on computer
to apply the changes.Thats all.

View route to any website

2008-10-11T09:13:00.001-07:00

you access to the internet from home over a modem to a local ISP
(Internet service provider) who conects to a regional network which
connected to a national network.In genaral small local ISPs connect
to medium sized regional networks which connect to large national networks
and then connect to very large bandwidth networks on the internet backbone.
So when you access to web site,there is a route(may bemore than one)
to destination.If you like to view this route get command line and
type
tracert
E.g tracert www.2cyberworld.tk
This will show the route that is being taken by the data packets to
reach your computer.See above figure.

How to extend firefox speed

2008-10-09T15:46:00.001-07:00

and     network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
change value from 4 to 10

Restart Firefox.Thats it....

Google Hacks(part one)

2008-10-05T19:53:00.001-07:00

Google is wonderfull serching engine. Due to google spyderprogram's special characterestics
we can find and do many things with google. Google hacks mean we enter particuler string on
google serch box and get wonderful results.With google and a little knowladge about some special strings
we can find files directly .we don't need to surf whole web consuming our time. There are many
special codes. From this article I'm going to show you few of them (funny and cool ones).
I expect to write another article about some different part of this particuler strings . Any way cheak this out.

Go to google and type this strings and see whats happen.

find chuck norris    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google bearshare    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google loco    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google gothic    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google linux    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google 133t    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google ewmew    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
xx-klingon        =click "I'm feeling lucky"
xx-piglation    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google bsd        =click "I'm feeling lucky"s
google easter egg    =click "I'm feeling lucky"
google gizoogle    =click "I'm feeling lucky"

If you like to view network web cameras(see real time web cameras).

intitle:"WJ-NT104 Main"
intitle:"snc-rz30 home" (Active x requared)
inurl:indexFrame.shtml "Axis Video Server"
snc - rz30 home

Un-serchable pages
"robots.txt" "disallow:" filetype:txt

inurl:"Viewerframe?Mode="

Hide any file behind .jpg image file

2008-09-09T09:42:00.003-07:00

This is nice trick to hide files and files that hide using this way difficult to find.

1) select files that you want to hide and copy files in to new folder .

2) find some jpg image file and copy it in to above folder.

3) Compress files using compressing software (winrar ,winzip )

Except jpg image. (select files --> right click --> add to archive )

4)open command prompt and access to the folder which contain you r compressed file via command line .

5) then type bellow line

For the example my compressed file name is x.rar and my jpg file name is one.jpg

Then I type in command line

Copy /B x.rar + one .jpg secret.jpg

General form is : copy /B your compressed file name.extention + "your jpg file name".jpg "newnameforjpgfile".jpg

6) then exit from command line. And go to the folder you will see new jpg file call secret.jpg . It is the file that contain you r secret files so it larger than normal jpg.

7) when you want your secret files just extract secret.jpg using any extracting software (winrar,winzip)

*you can choose any file instead jpg to merge you secret files. Try .mp3 and .dat to do this.

That s all. I think this article may help you to protect your important files.

Hide you r important Files and folders

2008-09-09T09:42:00.001-07:00

There are many ways to hide files and folders.

Hide File Or Folder as system file.

For example, think that there is a folder call "Docs" in C:\ mydata and you want to hide it.

1) press windows key +R to Open RUN dialog box.

2) Then type cmd in Run Box. (Or Start-->All programs-->Accessories-->command prompt)

3) Now access destination via command prompt. In this case we must type cd C:\mydata

4) Then type attrib +r +s +a +h Docs

to hide the folder.

5) type attrib -r -s -a -h Docs to display it again.

REMEMBER

· If you try to hide file or folder which name contain more than one word separated by space command prompt will give error message something like this

" Parameter format not correct - "

It means you cannot hide "My Docs" but you can hide My_Docs"

· If anyone go to the folder options and uncheck both "Show Hidden Files And Folders" and "Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended)" under view tab ,he will able to see all files that you hide using this trick.

***********************************************************************

Hide folder and convert folder icon in to recycle bin

Consider there is folder call "secret" in your computer and you want to hide it. so just rename it as

secret.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

WOW you will see you r folder has converted to recycle bin icon and you cannot see the content of the folder.

To display real folder again open the note pad , copy and paste follow line save it as anyname.bat .

ren secret.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} secret

then copy and paste it near your hidden folder (if you r hidden folder in D:\mydoc you must copy bat file to D:\mydoc folder)

Then double click on the bat file. (or you can enter command line ) That's all.

How to rename Windows Recycle Bin

2008-09-06T10:17:00.001-07:00

Generally windows do not allow you to rename the recycle bin but with little effort we can do it. To do this we are going to change windows registry. So I suggest back up or make system restore point before you going to play with registry. And be careful If you edit something wrong you r whole system will be crash or will not work properly.

Open registry (windows + R and type regedit in RUN box)

Go

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT-->

CLSID-->

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}-->

ShellFolder

In "shellFolder" change the "Attributes" data value from "40 01 00 20" to "50 01 00 20"
After that (to edit just double click on the shellFolder )
Double click on "CallForAttributes" and set "Value Data " to "0".

That's all .now get off from registry . now you can rename Recycle bin like any other icon. So set any name you want like "Garbage truck".

How To Hide Recycle Bin

2008-09-06T09:13:00.001-07:00

Did you bored with windows XP's …………………recycle bin?

And wanna change a look. If you like to do so this article may help you. So what about hiding recycle bin or rename recycle bin.

How to Hide Recycle Bin icon from desktop

well Hiding recycle bin slightly different from above one. To do this we going to edit registry using SCRIPTS. There are two ways to edit registry (as I think).

1) we can edit registry manually with "Regedit.exe"

2) or we can use scripts.

Second method is faster than first one.

Okay here we go

Open note pad and COPY bellow text (very carefully and all the text)

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

Save it as "hiderecycle.reg".

Find it and just double click on it .then windows will ask you something like this

"are you sure you want………………………………….blah "

Click yes and windows give another message telling that you r windows registry successfully…………………………."

Just refresh

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(why don't you show you r skills to friends.)

If you feel lonely without recycle bin icon on desktop. Do followings to make it visible.

Copy and paste follow script on a note pad and save it as "Showrecycle.reg"

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000

And do above things again.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Change Windows XP System Property Logo And Text

2008-09-06T09:08:00.001-07:00

Well if you view your PC's system property dialog box (under the general tab) you may have a custom system properties logo and information. Because many IT vendors like to add there trademark and there details to the system property. So this article may help you to personalize your PC's system property.

There are two parts to updating that panel - the graphic and the text information

Update text information

open notepad and enter the following info.

[General]
Manufacturer=your text goes here
Model= your text goes here

[Support Information]
line1= your text goes here
line2= your text goes here
line3= your text goes here

This file must be save as oeminfo.ini (not text) and place it

In C:\windows\system32 folder.

Update Logo

To do this just create a '.BMP' file containing the graphic and name it as OEMLOGO.BMP . Place it in the C:\windows\system32 folder. Make sure your oemlogo.bmp file has RGB color format and size about 172 x 100.

(remember oemlogo will not appear unless oeminfo.ini file exists)

Then log off or restart the system. And press windows + pause break(or press alt and double click on my computer icon) to get system properties. That's all.

GUIDE TO (mostly) HARMLESS HACKING

Microsoft-only version Number 1

____________________________________________________________
by KeyDet89
************************************************************
In this Guide you will learn:
1. Important files on your system.
2. My first program.
3. Getting help.
4. Finding out about programs.
5. What can I do with an Internet connection?
************************************************************

Well, you're in luck, the answer is a resounding YES!!
However, there is a very basic step that must first be taken, and that is to
define what is meant by "hacking." We'll start with what hacking is
not...it's not denial of service (DoS) attacks, nuking, mail bombing, IRC,
or ICQ. Anyone can run a program, but a hacker learns how things work, and
tries to push them to their limits. Exposing vulnerabilities is only part
of what a hacker does, and when he finds them, the hacker has the maturity
and sense of responsibility to not use the vulnerability for his own gain.
The Hacker Manifesto clearly states "thou shalt do no harm."

**Historical Note: If you want a role model for becoming a
hacker, try these names: Dennis Ritchie, Bob Metcalfe, Steve Wozniak, and
yes, Bill Gates.

With that aside, on with the show. Past editions of the Guides to (mostly)
Harmless Hacking have talked about how to make modifications to a Win95
system to WOW your friends. The point of those articles was that you can
begin hacking by learning all there is to know about your system. I know a
lot of text files out there talk about using Linux and FreeBSD, shell
accounts, Un*x tools, and telnet, but if you don't have any of these
available to you, not to worry. You can still learn, which is the whole point.

**Note: Linux and FreeBSD are freeware or commercial (depending upon where
you go) versions of Un*x that run on the Intel platform (a PC computer).
These systems have uses throughout academia and research facilities, but
maybe a bit difficult to get running on your own system unless you know
quite a bit about your system and the operating system. The word "Un*x" uses
the star to refer to the various flavors of
the Unix operating system.

1. IMPORTANT FILES ON YOUR SYSTEM.

The first thing we'll look at are the important files of the Win95
operating system. The autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and
system.ini files are holdovers from DOS, but are also still used.
The config.sys file is used to configure hardware on your system
and the autoexec.bat file is used to load parameters and environment
variables that are needed when your system first starts.

In the next section, we'll discuss how to load environment
variables for specific purposes using batch files. We'll look
specifically at the autoexec.bat file, as it will lead into
batch file programming in the next section.

To take a look at this file, go to the DOS prompt and type:

c:\>edit autoexec.bat

Your screen will turn blue when the editor opens and the autoexec.bat file
will be loaded automatically, because it's located in the current directory.
If you had typed:

c:\>notepad autoexec.bat

the file would've been opened in NotePad. Use whichever is easier.

**Note: This leads us to the subject of paths. Paths in DOS are
areas where DOS will look on your hard drive for programs that you
type in at the prompt. You may have the program on your hard drive
but you won't be able to run it from the prompt unless it's in your
path or you are in the directory where the program resides.

One command that should be visible in the autoexec.bat file is the
PATH statement. It may look something like this:

SET PATH=.;c:\;c:\Windows;c:\windows\command

You don't need much more than this in your path, and you don't want it to
get out of control, so it's best if you leave it like as it is. The "."
(period) that is in the beginning of the line says to begin the search for
the command in the current working directory.

You can add other tasks in the autoexec.bat file that you want run
upon startup, and you can even include command line parameters, as
necessary.

Now let's change directories at the DOS prompt:

c:\>cd windows

Now open the win.ini file in Notepad, and take a look at it. We're not
going to make any changes to it, or go into a long explanation
of it's contents. You can see that it contains different sections
that pertain to different components and applications on your
system.

**************************************************************
Evil Genius\Elite Hacker Tip: Go to the section of the win.ini
file called "[Extensions]". One of the first lines should be:

txt=notepad.exe ^.txt

You can use this line to plant messages on your computer. Simply
change the reference to a batch file that contains some commands
and the line:

notepad %1 %2 %3 %4

...at the end.
***************************************************************

Now, open the system.ini file.

**Note: To avoid having to type the same commands over and over,
type in "doskey" at the prompt, or edit the autoexec.bat file
to include the command "doskey on". Then when you are in a DOS
window, you can hit the up and down arrow keys to move amongst
commands you've already typed in.

You'll see that the system.ini file contains sections similar to
the win.ini file.

*****************************************************************
Evil Genius\Elite Hacker Tip: Go to the "[boot]" section and locate the
line that reads:

shell=Explorer.exe

This is the line that tells Win95 which shell to use for your
system. The commands that control what colors to use are located
in the win.ini file. However, you can change shells. Change the
line to read:

shell=progman.exe

The next time you reboot the computer, the old Win3.1 Program
Manager shell will be loaded.
******************************************************************

2. MY FIRST PROGRAM.

Most program languages that I have used have all started out
with the ubiquitous "Hello, World" program, so we'll start there.

A batch file is really more of an interpreted file. The system
reads the file, and executes the commands within the file one at a time.
You can run into problems if the command you put into the file requires
input from the user, but some useful tasks can be accomplished through the
use of batch files.

So, for our first program, type:

@echo off
echo Hello, World!

Save the file as "hello.bat", and at the prompt, type:

c:\>hello

You have now written your first program!

Now, open hello.bat again, and type change the second line to:

echo Hello, %1

Save this, and run the program again, but enter in an argument:

c:\>hello Dave

What the "%1" does is take the first argument ("Dave") and includes it in
the echo statement.

You can use batch file programming to load specific environment
variables, as well. If you do Java programming, for instance, you can leave
the autoexec.bat file the way it is, but you will need to load specific
environment variables so that you can use your development environment,
specifically the JDK from Sun. So type:

@echo off
SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\java\;c:\java\bin
SET CLASSPATH=c:\java\lib\classes.zip
SET JAVAHOME=c:\java

Save this file as "java.bat" and whenever you want to do some
development, run the file. You can even include a reference to the batch
file in the autoexec.bat file. Notice the "%PATH%" in the second
line...this is an environment variable that exists for the DOS environment.
It refers to the PATH variable, as it exists before you run the new batch
file. To view the path, type:

c:\>path

3. GETTING HELP.

It's actually pretty easy to find out about particular things on
your Win95 computer. The first and easiest way to find anything is to use
the Start -> Help (click on the Start button, then choose Help) feature.
>From there select a topic. Some of the entries are pretty detailed, with
examples.

A resource that is very often overlooked by folks who are new to
computing in general is your local public library. DOS has been available
for quite a while, and you will likely find books about DOS and Windows at
the library. Some books even cover the specifics of batch files or other
aspects of DOS, and will prove to be very useful. Now, you won't be
interested in sections on EDLIN, but you find lots of valuable information.

After libraries are used bookstores. Lots of folks would rather
sell their old books rather than donate them to a library. You can find
many useful books on a wide range of subjects.

Finally, new bookstores, such as Barnes and Noble, Borders, and
especially Computer Literacy are excellent sources of information. If you
can't afford some of the new books, don't worry. Just drop by the
bookstore, look something up, and put the book back. Many of these
bookstores also carry a wide variety of magazines, many of which are
specific to computer systems. There are even magazines available for Atari
and Amiga systems!

4. FINDING OUT ABOUT PROGRAMS.

While in DOS, if you want to get some quick information about a command on
your computer and don't want to go through the steps of opening the online
Help, just type the command, followed by "/?":

c:\>edit /?

This provides a quick explanation of the command and a list of
arguments that can be used with it. Keep in mind that this
technique works with DOS commands...programs written by folks
outside of Microsoft don't have to provide this functionality.

5. WHAT CAN I DO WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION?

So you have an Internet connection, eh? Well, you already have
a shell account, of sorts. It's your DOS window. Yes, you can run commands
from your DOS window, as well as from the GUI. For example, once you have
connected, try this:

c:\>telnet rs.internic.net

This will open up a telnet window directly to InterNIC. After the
host, you can even specify a port:

c:\>telnet [host] [port]

This is useful if you want to see if a host has a particular port
open.

Your system also has a command line FTP program. Just type:

c:\>ftp [host]

and it will attempt to connect you to the host. You can use
this FTP client to connect to your own ftp sites, or to anonymous
ftp sites such as ftp.microsoft.com.

There are also other commands that you can use in a networked
environment, but they will be covered in another article.

The Magic Of DOS

2008-08-25T11:03:00.000-07:00

The key to doing amazing things with XP is as simple as D O S. Yes, that's right, DOS as in MS-DOS, as in MicroSoft Disk Operating System. Windows XP (as well as NT and 2000) comes with two versions of DOS. Command.com is an old DOS version. Various versions of command.com come with Windows 95, 98, SE, ME, Window 3, and DOS only operating systems.

The other DOS, which comes only with the XP, 2000 and NT operating systems, is cmd.exe. Usually cmd.exe is better than command.com because it is easier to use, has more commands, and in some ways resembles the bash shell in Linux and other Unix-type operating systems. For example, you can repeat a command by using the up arrow until you back up to the desired command. Unlike bash, however, your DOS command history is erased whenever you shut down cmd.exe. The reason XP has both versions of DOS is that sometimes a program that won?t run right in cmd.exe will work in command.com

****************
Flame Alert: Some readers are throwing fits because I dared to compare DOS to bash. I can compare cmd.exe to bash if I want to. Nanny nanny nah nah.
****************

DOS is your number one Windows gateway to the Internet, and the open sesame to local area networks. From DOS, without needing to download a single hacker program, you can do amazingly sophisticated explorations and even break into poorly defended computers.

****************
You can go to jail warning: Breaking into computers is against the law if you do not have permission to do so from the owner of that computer. For example, if your friend gives you permission to break into her Hotmail account, that won't protect you because Microsoft owns Hotmail and they will never give you permission.
****************
****************
You can get expelled warning: Some kids have been kicked out of school just for bringing up a DOS prompt on a computer. Be sure to get a teacher's WRITTEN permission before demonstrating that you can hack on a school computer.
****************

So how do you turn on DOS?
Click All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
That runs cmd.exe. You should see a black screen with white text on it, saying something like this:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) © 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>

Your first step is to find out what commands you can run in DOS. If you type "help" at the DOS prompt, it gives you a long list of commands. However, this list leaves out all the commands hackers love to use. Here are some of those left out hacker commands.

TCP/IP commands:
telnet
netstat
nslookup
tracert
ping
ftp

NetBIOS commands (just some examples):
nbtstat
net use
net view
net localgroup

TCP/IP stands for transmission control protocol/Internet protocol. As you can guess by the name, TCP/IP is the protocol under which the Internet runs. along with user datagram protocol (UDP). So when you are connected to the Internet, you can try these commands against other Internet computers. Most local area networks also use TCP/IP.

NetBIOS (Net Basic Input/Output System) protocol is another way to communicate between computers. This is often used by Windows computers, and by Unix/Linux type computers running Samba. You can often use NetBIOS commands over the Internet (being carried inside of, so to speak, TCP/IP). In many cases, however, NetBIOS commands will be blocked by firewalls. Also, not many Internet computers run NetBIOS because it is so easy to break in using them.

Use NetCat (For Advanced Users)

2008-08-25T10:10:00.000-07:00

Oh, here's one last goodie for advanced users. Get netcat for Windows. It's a free program written by Weld Pond and Hobbit, and available from many sites, for example
http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/#network_utilities . It is basically telnet on steroids. For example, using netcat, you can set up a port -- also known as a back door, depending on your motivation -- that will allow people to telnet into a DOS shell. Use this command:

C:\>nc -L -p 5000 -t -e cmd.exe

You can specify a different port number than 5000. Just make sure it doesn't conflict with another port by checking with the netstat
command. Then you and your friends, enemies and random losers can either telnet in or netcat in with the command:

C:\>nc -v [ipaddress of target] [port]

Of course you will probably get hacked for setting up this port. However, if you set up a sniffer to keep track of the action, you can turn this scary back door into a fascinating honeypot. For example, you could run it on port 23 and watch all the hackers who attack with telnet hoping to log in. With some programming you could even fake a unix-like login sequence and play some tricks on your attackers.

Use Telnet

2008-08-23T09:37:00.000-07:00

In this Guide you will learn:

* What is telnet?
* How to telnet
* How to get telnet accounts
* Why you might not want to telnet
* How to install a telnet server on your home Windows computer
* How to turn off a telnet server on your home Linux computer
* How to explore computers using telnet
* Why not use a portscanner instead?

"Where do I type that command?" People ask that all the time when they read my early Guides to (mostly) Harmless Hacking. I wrote those guides back when the Internet was in its infancy and almost everyone in cyberspace used telnet. However, nowadays you might never even hear about telnet, much less use it, unless you are a hacker. So if you are still wondering about telnet, today is your lucky day.

What Is Telnet?

Telnet is a protocol that is most commonly used to log into a remote computer. It also is the single most powerful hacking tool on the planet. With just a telnet client program, you can:

* send email
* download source code from web sites
* send unexpected input to webservers that can give you amazing and sometimes illegal results
* give arbitrary input to many other services on Internet host computers
* probe the services offered by servers, routers and even people's home computers.

How to Telnet

Don't know how to telnet? Click the easy telnet links at http://happyhacker.org/wargame/ and land in the middle of a real hacker wargame! This should work regardless of your computer operating system -- if you have an up to date browser, if your online service provider gives you a true Internet connection, and if your computer is able to telnet at all.

Did those links get you into a telnet session? Were you able to login to a remote computer? If yes, congratulations.

If not, how can you fix the problem? If no telnet program appeared on your monitor when you clicked these links, perhaps your browser is too ancient to allow telnet. Try installing the latest Netscape browser (http://www.netscape.com). Or, perhaps your operating system does not include a telnet program. In that case, install or reinstall Windows 95 or 98. If you own a Mac, get the superb Mac OS X or Linux PPC (http://www.linuxppc.com).

If a telnet program came up and failed to connect, possibly the computer you were trying to telnet into was down or just plain no longer in existence. Or, you may be using America Online (or a similar extremely poor online service). If so, your simplest solution may be to get a better online service provider. Determined to hack using AOL? See http://happyhacker.org/aol.shtml for some ways to make AOL give you a true Internet connection.

OK, so you've managed to telnet for the first time. Presumably you don't want to limit yourself to telnet links on web sites. How do you telnet anywhere you want to go?

If you have Linux or any other type of Unix (BSD, SCO, Solaris, Sun OS, Irix, Ultrix, etc.) telneting is easy. Just bring up "console" or "shell" (or whatever your GUI calls the command line interface). At the prompt type:

telnet

Windows 2000 works pretty much like Unix.

If you have Windows 95, 98 or NT, to telnet, bring up the MS-DOS prompt (Start --> Programs --> MS-DOS).

Click "connect" then "remote system…". In the host name box place the host name or IP address of the computer to which you wish to telnet. Leave the Port and Term Type boxes alone for now.

Here is a really important point. Every day people email me complaining that some computer won't let them telnet into it. They ask what they are doing wrong. They aren't doing anything wrong:

* Maybe the computer they are trying to reach no longer exists.
* Maybe the computer they are trying to reach doesn't allow telnet logins. For example, whois.internic.net no longer allows telnet logins on port 23 (the default port). Click here to learn how to telnet into whois.internic.net on the right port for that particular server.
* Maybe a firewall is blocking them.
* Or maybe they make a telnet connection and the remote computer asks for a user name and password they don't have. Then they email me asking for how to get a login name and password that will work.

Newbie note: The owners or administrators of any Internet host computer decide who gets user names and passwords. Believe it or not, about once a week someone emails me asking what user name and password their own online service provider has assigned them for a telnet login. That's why I'm telling people the obvious -- if you want to telnet into any computer, and you don't have a user name and password, you must ask the owner, administrator of tech support for that system for a user name and password. If they won't give that to you, they don't want you to have it!

You can go to jail warning: If you guess the user name and password, or use a computer breakin technique to get or create them, or if someone other than an owner or administrator or a legitimate user on that system gives you a user name and password, it is against the law to use them. Many computer criminals give out user names and passwords that they obtained illegally.

How to Get Telnet Accounts

OK, so you want to get legal user names and passwords so you can telnet into other computers. Here are some of the best ways:

* See http://happyhacker.org/links2.shtml#shells for organizations that will give you free shell accounts. You can telnet into these.
* Ask Internet Service Providers for shell accounts. Some offer them, although most don't.
* Set up a telnet server on your own computer (see instructions below). Yes, once you are running a telnet server, you can telnet from your computer back into your computer. Simply give the command "telnet 127.0.0.1".
* Make friends with people who run Internet computers with telnet servers.

Why you May Not Want to Telnet

If you love your shell account server, don't ever, ever telnet or ftp into it. I recommend Ssh or Openssh for logging into remote computers? The telnet (and ftp) protocol is a "clear text" transmission. That means that computer on the same LAN as either You or your destination computer, or any computer on any LAN or network path through which your connection passes can steal your login name, password or anything else that goes across your connection. Ssh and OpenSsh encrypt all communications so no one can snoop on you.

How to Install a Telnet Server on your Windows Computer

Usually you can't telnet into a Windows home computer. The reason is, they aren't running telnet servers. Here's how to get a telnet server on your home Windows computers so your friends and you can telnet in and play.

For Windows NT, the Options Pack includes a primitive telnet server.

For Windows 95/98/NT and 2000, you also can install shareware or commercial telnet servers. Check out http://www.winfiles.com, or do a web search.

Of course installing a telnet server makes your computer vulnerable to all sorts of trouble from hackers. It's your funeral, don't come crying top me if a telnet visitor destroys your computer.

How to Turn off a Telnet Server on your Unix-type Computer

If you go online with Linux or other Unix-type computer, a telnet server is the easiest way to ensure you get destroyed by a malicious hacker. Here's how to prevent this. On most of these, the file /etc/inetd.conf launches most of your servers. Edit the file to put a "#" in front of the line that has telnet in it and either reboot your computer or kill and restart inetd.

If your computer doesn't use inetd to launch services, you should be able to find telnetd under /etc/init.d.

Install ssh instead and only use that to log into your shell account.

How to Explore Computers Using Telnet

Even if a computer doesn't have a telnet server, there are lots of fun and even legal things to do to it using telnet. The easiest thing to do is extract "banners" from a victim computer. A banner is a message a computer will often give when you telnet to a port that is running an Internet server of some sort.

For example, most mail sending servers use port 25. To telnet to port 25 from Win 2000 or a Unix shell, simply type:

telnet 25

Windows 95, 98 and NT make it a tiny bit harder. Figure 2 shows how:

If the victim computer is running a mail server, you will see something that looks like this:

Whoa, look at that! The victim computer told us what operating system (Windows NT) and mail server (Mercur) it runs!

A quick search of the Bugtraq archives at http://www.securityfocus.com revealed horrid things a criminal could do to that Mercur mail server. Since I think it is more fun to be nice, I told someone at the company using this mail server about the problems. He invited me to vacation at his beautiful Swiss home, where he and his wife keep horses and take long trail rides in the Alps. Golly, that is much more fun than breaking into a computer!

Right about now some elite ueberhaxorz are probably reading this and saying "What a lamer Meinel is! We can do the same thing by running nmap."

They are right, you can learn the same things by running a port scanning program such as nmap (available at http://www.insecure.org). However, I am quite careful about under what circumstances I run any port scanner. In order to get information on what programs are running on what ports, you must run a port scanner in a mode that will probably convince the owner of the victim computer that you are a criminal. He or she may persuade your online service provider to cancel your account.

The other reason to analyze computers using telnet is that you learn more. It's the difference between eating at McDonalds and learning how to cook.

How to Break into Web Sites Using Telnet

You don't have to use a web browser to access files on a web site. All you need to do is:

telnet 80

Or specify port 80 in a Windows telnet.

If you are using Windows 95/98/NT, whenever you are NOT logging into a telnet account, you should enable local echo. Otherwise whatever you type in (unless you are in a telnet account) will not show on the screen. To enable local echo, click Terminal --> Preferences --> Local Echo.

So how do you send stuff back to the webserver? Try this:

GET / HTTP/1.0

What kinds of commands can you send? The book Hackproofing Your Network (by Ryan Russell of Securityfocus.com and Stance Cunningham) suggests a fun and harmless hack. Create and store a bogus cookie in the location on your web browser that stores cookies. (Find it by searching for the file "cookies.txt".) Name your bogus cookie something like "MyBogusCookie." Then telnet to the victim webserver and give something like this command:

GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: HaveABogusCookieThisIsAJoke 123.4
Cookie: /; MyBogusCookie

The Überhacker! -- How to Break into Computers book details a number of serious attacks you can perform through sending funny input to a webserver. Basically, you need to learn how to write shell programs, and then find ways to get them to be run by the webserver. I'm not going to explain them here, however. These attacks, when carried out against a vulnerable webserver, are so easy that little kids could do them, and I don't want to be responsible for their behavior. It's much harder for little kids to get a hold of Russell's and my books than it is for them to read this GTMHH on the Happy Hacker website.

So are you dying to know what to send a webserver in order to break into it, without having to buy a book? Here are some hints. How to do this will depend on what webserver it is, what operating system it runs on, whether its security weaknesses have been fixed, and whether the web designer has used things such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) or Server Side Includes (SSIs) that have weaknesses in them.

You will have to research these issues at Web sites that archive vulnerabilities and exploits such as http://www.securityfocus.com and http://packestorm.securify.com. You will need to study web site programming (HTML -- hypertext markup language, CGI and SSIs) and shell programming. You will need to learn webserver commands (documented at http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/markup/Markup.html). You will have to use your brain and be persistent.

But at least if you come across a telnet exploit, now you know the answer to the question "where do I type that command?"

Do this to all components according to you r choice
Save the sysoc.inf and restart the computer.Thats all. You r choosen windows components now visible in Add/remove Programs.

Hide windows xp user account from logon screen

2008-08-22T10:10:00.000-07:00

Would you like to hide your user account from other people ?

If there are multiple user accounts in you computer windows XP normally show all of them in logon screen.

But some people like to hide there user account from other people who share that computer. If you like to make invisible your user account from logon screen this article may help you to do so.

To do this thing we are going to change windows registry settings so I suggest make system restore point before you change registry settings.

1) press win+ R key combination (for run dialog box)

2) type regedit in run dialog box. Click ok to enter registry.

3) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\ CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Click edit new DWORD value

Name that value with name of your user account(what you want to hide)

(in my case I want to hide my user account which name is max )

When value Data set to 0 windows hide you r account. If You like to make it visible change Value Data to 1.Reboot the system. Now look at the logon screen. You hide your user account successfully.
