Remedies How To protect Yourself ?

Web spoofing is a dangerous and nearly undetectable security attack that can be carried out on today’s Internet. Fortunately there are some protective measures you can take.

Short-term Solution

In the short run, the best defense is to follow a three-part strategy:

disable JavaScript in your browser so the attacker will be unable to hide the evidence of the attack;

make sure your browser’s location line is always visible;

pay attention to the URLs displayed on your browser’s location line, making sure they always point to the server you think you’re connected to.

This strategy will significantly lower the risk of attack, though you could still be victimized if you are not conscientious about watching the location line.

At present, JavaScript, ActiveX, and Java all tend to facilitate spoofing and other security attacks, so we recommend that you disable them. Doing so will cause you to lose some useful functionality, but you can recoup much of this loss by selectively turning on these features when you visit a trusted site that requires them.

Long-term Solution

We do not know of a fully satisfactory long-term solution to this problem.

Changing browsers so they always display the location line would help, although users would still have to be vigilant and know how to recognize rewritten URLs. This is an example of a “trusted path” technique, in the sense that the browser is able to display information for the user without possible interference by untrusted parties.

For pages that are not fetched via a secure connection, there is not much more that can be done.

For pages fetched via a secure connection, an improved secure-connection indicator could help. Rather than simply indicating a secure connection, browsers should clearly say who is at the other end of the connection. This information should be displayed in plain language, in a manner intelligible to novice users; it should say something like “Microsoft Inc.” rather than “www.microsoft.com.”

Every approach to this problem seems to rely on the vigilance of Web users. Whether we can realistically expect everyone to be vigilant all of the time is debatable.

Related Work

We did not invent the URL rewriting technique. Previously, URL rewriting has been used as a technique for providing useful services to people who have asked for them.

Existing services that use URL rewriting include The Anonymizer, written by Justin Boyan at Carnegie Mellon University, is a service that allows users to surf the Web without revealing their identities to the sites they visit. The Zippy filter, written by Henry Minsky, presents an amusing vision of the Web with Zippy-the-Pinhead sayings inserted at random.

Fred Cohen first described the use of URL rewriting as an attack technique. Though we did not invent URL rewriting, we believe we are the first to realize its full potential as one component of a security attack that includes the hiding of other clues about the origin of documents.

Acknowledgments

The URL-rewriting part of our demonstration program is based on Henry Minsky’s code for the Zippy filter. We are grateful to David Hopwood for useful discussions about spoofing attacks, and to Gary McGraw and Laura Felten for comments on drafts of this paper. Gary McGraw designed the figure.

Completing the Illusion

The attack as described thus far is fairly effective, but it is not perfect. There is still some remaining context that can give the victim clues that the attack is going on. However, it is possible for the attacker to eliminate virtually all of the remaining clues of the attack’s existence.


Such evidence is not too hard to eliminate because browsers are very customizable. The ability of a Web page to control browser behavior is often desirable, but when the page is hostile it can be dangerous.

The Status Line

The status line is a single line of text at the bottom of the browser window that displays various messages, typically about the status of pending Web transfers.

The attack as described so far leaves two kinds of evidence on the status line. First, when the mouse is held over a Web link, the status line displays the URL the link points to. Thus, the victim might notice that a URL has been rewritten. Second, when a page is being fetched, the status line briefly displays the name of the server being contacted. Thus, the victim might notice that www.attacker.org is displayed when some other name was expected.

The attacker can cover up both of these cues by adding a JavaScript program to every rewritten page. Since JavaScript programs can write to the status line, and since it is possible to bind JavaScript actions to the relevant events, the attacker can arrange things so that the status line participates in the con game, always showing the victim what would have been on the status line in the real Web. This makes the spoofed context even more convincing.

The Location Line

The browser’s location line displays the URL of the page currently being shown. The victim can also type a URL into the location line, sending the browser to that URL. The attack as described so far causes a rewritten URL to appear in the location line, giving the victim a possible indication that an attack is in progress.

This clue can be hidden using JavaScript. A JavaScript program can hide the real location line and replace it by a fake location line that looks right and is in the expected place. The fake location line can show the URL the victim expects to see. The fake location line can also accept keyboard input, allowing the victim to type in URLs normally. The JavaScript program can rewrite typed-in URLs before they are accessed.

Viewing the Document Source

Popular browsers offer a menu item that allows the user to examine the HTML source for the currently displayed page. A user could possibly look for rewritten URLs in the HTML source, and could therefore spot the attack.

The attack can prevent this by using JavaScript to hide the browser’s menu bar, replacing it with a menu bar that looks just like the original. If the user chose “view document source” from the spoofed menu bar, the attacker would open a new window to display the original (non-rewritten) HTML source.

Viewing Document Information

A related clue is available if the victim chooses the browser’s “view document information” menu item. This will display information including the document’s URL. As above, this clue can be spoofed by replacing the browser’s menu bar. This leaves no remaining visible clues to give away the attack.

Tracing the Attacker

Some people have suggested that finding and punishing the attacker can deter this attack. It is true that the attacker’s server must reveal its location in order to carry out the attack, and that evidence of that location will almost certainly be available after an attack is detected.

Unfortunately, this will not help much in practice because attackers will break into the machine of some innocent person and launch the attack there. Stolen machines will be used in these attacks for the same reason most bank robbers make their getaways in stolen cars.

Demonstration

As a demonstration, we have implemented a working version of this attack, including all the tricks described above. The demonstration shows that the Web Spoofing attack would work in practice. Although we have showed the demonstration to many people, we have not made it available on the Web, since that would make it too easy for others to capture our demonstration and modify it to carry out real Web Spoofing attacks.

How the Attack Works Spoofing the Whole Web

Fig _1.1


You may think it is difficult for the attacker to spoof the entire World Wide Web, but it is not. The attacker need not store the entire contents of the Web. The whole Web is available on-line; the attacker’s server can just fetch a page from the real Web when it needs to provide a copy of the page on the false Web.




The key to this attack is for the attacker’s Web server to sit between the victim and the rest of the Web. This kind of arrangement is called a “man in the middle attack” in the security literature.


URL Rewriting

The attacker’s first trick is to rewrite all of the URLs on some Web page so that they point to the attacker’s server rather than to some real server. Assuming the attacker’s server is on the machine www.attacker.org, the attacker rewrites a URL by adding http://www.attacker.org to the front of the URL. For example, http://home.netscape.com becomes http://www.attacker.org/http://home.netscape.com. (The URL rewriting technique has been used for other reasons by several other Web sites, including the Anonymizer and the Zippy filter. See page 9 for details.)

Figure 1 shows what happens when the victim requests a page through one of the rewritten URLs. The victim’s browser requests the page from www.attacker.org, since the URL starts with http://www.attacker.org. The remainder of the URL tells the attacker’s server where on the Web to go to get the real document.


Figure 1: An example Web transaction during a Web spoofing attack. The victim requests a Web page. The following steps occur: (1) the victim’s browser requests the page from the attacker’s server; (2) the attacker’s server requests the page from the real server; (3) the real server provides the page to the attacker’s server; (4) the attacker’s server rewrites the page; (5) the attacker’s server provides the rewritten version to the victim.


Once the attacker’s server has fetched the real document needed to satisfy the request, the attacker rewrites all of the URLs in the document into the same special form by splicing http://www.attacker.org/ onto the front. Then the attacker’s server provides the rewritten page to the victim’s browser.

Since all of the URLs in the rewritten page now point to www.attacker.org, if the victim follows a link on the new page, the page will again be fetched through the attacker’s server. The victim remains trapped in the attacker’s false Web, and can follow links forever without leaving it.

Consequences

Since the attacker can observe or modify any data going from the victim to Web servers, as well as controlling all return traffic from Web servers to the victim, the attacker has many possibilities. These include surveillance and tampering.


Surveillance The attacker can passively watch the traffic, recording which pages the victim visits and the contents of those pages. When the victim fills out a form, the entered data is transmitted to a Web server, so the attacker can record that too, along with the response sent back by the server. Since most on-line commerce is done via forms, this means the attacker can observe any account numbers or passwords the victim enters.

As we will see below, the attacker can carry out surveillance even if the victim has a “secure” connection (usually via Secure Sockets Layer) to the server, that is, even if the victim’s browser shows the secure-connection icon (usually an image of a lock or a key).

Tampering The attacker is also free to modify any of the data traveling in either direction between the victim and the Web. The attacker can modify form data submitted by the victim. For example, if the victim is ordering a product on-line, the attacker can change the product number, the quantity, or the ship-to address.

The attacker can also modify the data returned by a Web server, for example by inserting misleading or offensive material in order to trick the victim or to cause antagonism between the victim and the server.

TCP and DNS Spoofing

Another class of spoofing attack, which we will not discuss here, tricks the user’s software into an inappropriate action by presenting misleading information to that software. Examples of such attacks include TCP spoofing, in which Internet packets are sent with forged return addresses, and DNS spoofing, in which the attacker forges information about which machine names correspond to which network addresses. These other spoofing attacks are well known, so we will not discuss them further.

Security-relevant Decisions

By “security-relevant decision,” we mean any decision a person makes that might lead to undesirable results such as a breach of privacy or unauthorized tampering with data. Deciding to divulge sensitive information, for example by typing in a password or account number, is one example of a security-relevant decision. Choosing to accept a downloaded document is a security-relevant decision, since in many cases a downloaded document is capable of containing malicious elements that harm the person receiving the document.

Even the decision to accept the accuracy of information displayed by your computer can be security-relevant. For example, if you decide to buy a stock based on information you get from an online stock ticker, you are trusting that the information provided by the ticker is correct. If somebody could present you with incorrect stock prices, they might cause you to engage in a transaction that you would not have otherwise made, and this could cost you money.

Context

A browser presents many types of context that users might rely on to make decisions. The text and pictures on a Web page might give some impression about where the page came from; for example, the presence of a corporate logo implies that the page originated at a certain corporation.

The appearance of an object might convey a certain impression; for example, neon green text on a purple background probably came from Wired magazine. You might think you’re dealing with a popup window when what you are seeing is really just a rectangle with a border and a color different from the surrounding parts of the screen. Particular graphical items like file-open dialog boxes are immediately recognized as having a certain purpose. Experienced Web users react to such cues in the same way that experienced drivers react to stop signs without reading them.

The names of objects can convey context. People often deduce what is in a file by its name. Is manual.doc the text of a user manual? (It might be another kind of document, or it might not be a document at all.) URLs are another example. Is MICR0S0FT.COM the address of a large software company? (For a while that address pointed to someone else entirely. By the way, the round symbols in MICR0S0FT here are the number zero, not the letter O.) Was dole96.org Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential campaign? (It was not; it pointed to a parody site.)

People often get context from the timing of events. If two things happen at the same time, you naturally think they are related. If you click over to your bank’s page and a username/password dialog box appears, you naturally assume that you should type the name and password that you use for the bank. If you click on a link and a document immediately starts downloading, you assume that the document came from the site whose link you clicked on. Either assumption could be wrong.

If you only see one browser window when an event occurs, you might not realize that the event was caused by another window hiding behind the visible one.

Modern user-interface designers spend their time trying to devise contextual cues that will guide people to behave appropriately, even if they do not explicitly notice the cues. While this is usually beneficial, it can become dangerous when people are accustomed to relying on context that is not always correct.



Jai Shree Raam

Spoofing Attacks

In a spoofing attack, the attacker creates misleading context in order to trick the victim into making an inappropriate security-relevant decision. A spoofing attack is like a con game: the attacker sets up a false but convincing world around the victim. The victim does something that would be appropriate if the false world were real. Unfortunately, activities that seem reasonable in the false world may have disastrous effects in the real world.


Spoofing attacks are possible in the physical world as well as the electronic one. For example, there have been several incidents in which criminals set up bogus automated-teller machines, typically in the public areas of shopping malls. The machines would accept ATM cards and ask the person to enter their PIN code. Once the machine had the victim’s PIN, it could either eat the card or “malfunction” and return the card. In either case, the criminals had enough information to copy the victim’s card and use the duplicate. In these attacks, people were fooled by the context they saw: the location of the machines, their size and weight, the way they were decorated, and the appearance of their electronic displays.

People using computer systems often make security-relevant decisions based on contextual cues they see. For example, you might decide to type in your bank account number because you believe you are visiting your bank’s Web page. This belief might arise because the page has a familiar look, because the bank’s URL appears in the browser’s location line, or for some other reason.

To appreciate the range and severity of possible spoofing attacks, we must look more deeply into two parts of the definition of spoofing: security-relevant decisions and context.

What Is Spoofing?? Have A Glimpse.....

Introduction


This Post describes an Internet security attack that could endanger the privacy of World Wide Web users and the integrity of their data. The attack can be carried out on today’s systems, endangering users of the most common Web browsers, including Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Web spoofing allows an attacker to create a “shadow copy” of the entire World Wide Web. Accesses to the shadow Web are funneled through the attacker’s machine, allowing the attacker to monitor all of the victim’s activities including any passwords or account numbers the victim enters. The attacker can also cause false or misleading data to be sent to Web servers in the victim’s name, or to the victim in the name of any Web server. In short, the attacker observes and controls everything the victim does on the Web.

We have implemented a demonstration version of this attack.

Create a folder which u want to make invisible

First create a new folder somewhere on your hard drive


when you name it hold down "Alt" and press "0160" this will create an invisible space so it will appear as if it has no name.Then right click and select "Properties". Select the tab "customize" and select "change icon". Scroll along and you should see a few blank spaces. Click on any one and click ok.

choose the folder you want to protect. [Ex: c:myFolder]

2. Copy the following text

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} (copy with brackets)

3. Right click on your folder [Ex: c:myFolder] and then rename it as :

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

And when you double click on it nothing will be present in it and looks like a recycle bin and also u cannot view it,and for viewing it again do the reverse process below,



Reverse process :



1.Start->Run-> CMD



and press ENTER. after when you are in DOS Shell appeared type this :



c:>ren myFold~1.{64 myFolder

Open the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Select WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000.

3. Select the HungAppTimeout value and set it to 1000 as well.

4. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop. Set the WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000. Select the HungAppTimeout \newline value and set it to 1000 as well.

5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l. Select the WaitToKillServiceTimeout value and set it to 1000.

6. Close the Registry Editor.

Automatically Killing Tasks on Shutdown

You know the drill. You start to shut down the computer, you wait a few moments, and then you see a dialog box asking if you want to kill an application or service that is running. Instead of prompting you, you can make Windows XP take care of the kill task automatically. Here's how:

1. Open the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.

3. Highlight the value AutoEndTasks and change the value to 1.

4. Close the Registry Editor.

Well thats about it... when you done all the steps you machine most run faster...without ANY errors!

Disabling the Boot Logo For Slow Connections

You can remove the boot logo that appears when you start Windows XP. This little tweak probably shaves only a few seconds off your boot time but seconds count if you are serious about trying to get Windows XP up and running as quickly as possible. The only negative is that if you remove the boot logo, you will also not see any boot messages, such as check disk. (But if you are not having problems with your computer, this isn't such a big deal.)


To remove the boot logo, follow these steps:

1. Select Start/Run, type msconfig, and click OK.

2. In the System Configuration Utility, click the BOOT.INI tab.

3. On the BOOT.INI tab, click the NOGUIBOOT check box option. Click OK.

Disabling Recent Documents History



Windows XP includes a feature that keeps track of all recent documents you have opened or used. The idea is that you can select Start/Recent Documents History and quickly reopen any document you have recently used. I use many documents each day and never use the feature myself. In my opinion, I can keep up with what I want to use without Windows XP doing it for me.

The bad thing about Recent Documents History is that Windows XP has to calculate what should be put there each time you boot Windows, which can slow things down. So, if you never use the Recent Documents History, it's a good idea to disable it. Here's how:

1. Open the Registry Editor (select Start/Run, type regedit, and click OK).

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mcft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

3. Create a NoRecentDocsHistory D_WORD key. Double-click the value to open it once it is created.

4. Set the Data Value to 1 to enable the restriction.

5. Click OK and close the Registry Editor. You'll need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

YOU TUBE TIPS AND TRICKS DOWNLOAD FREE VIDEO WITHOUT ANY SOFTWARE

Hello,




I’m gonna share something related to the tricks which allow you to get video without using any kind of application and website for you to download it.

What you have to do is to do some tricks and file search for you to get what you want.



Okay let start!

This about files cache in mozzila firefox, which automatically saves the files in a website when you are surfing.

What we are going to do is to find the particular folder which contain the Internet Temporary files of Mozilla.

So first you must enable the settings for you to view the hidden files.

go to the top of the folder then select tools, folder options, view then select show hidden files.

Okay so how can you get a video on youtube?

First clear your history in Mozilla which contains cache, cookies, site preferences and etc.

After that go to youtube then search a video then watch it.. then if you liked it and you want to download the video the next thing your going to do is open a new tab then type about:cache

Then go to Disk cache device then select List Cache Entries.

Then press ctrl f [find] then type “get” for example it must be like this Http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=getvideo+cache&aq=f

Then click it!

It will result like this!





Then copy the file on disk.

C:\Documents and Settings\User1\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\75p9ko1a.default\Cache\8938A85Cd01 [this is the name of the video]

Then paste it into the address bar of a folder but don’t include red highlight text. Like this!



C:\Documents and Settings\User1\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\75p9ko1a.default\Cache\

Then make sure that you have copy the file name of the video [8938A85Cd01]

Then press ctrl f then paste the name of the video.











Then copy it then paste it into a folder then rename it

It must be like this “test.flv”



Then watch it.. you can also convert it.

Use tinyurl to open blocked orkut

USE URL REDIRECTION TECHNIQUES To open a blocked website




Use redirection services like TinyURL which give a unique link to any site. Just make blocked sites like orkut.com be pointed by such a unique URL like that aof tinyurl.This works b’coz such redirection sites make the adress bar blank while loading.

For orkut.com i’ve  made a tiny url link

http://tinyurl.com/27mdb

by clicking which you’ll land in orkut you can make any and many for any site you like by visiting Tinyurl.Com homepage.

How do you log on now that you are a hidden user?

If you are running windows XP Professional you simply need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice, and the standard logon screen will be displayed. This has one pitfall - it will fail to work if a user is still currently logged in. If you are having trouble getting it to show, then reboot and press it twice before any users have logged in. (I have not tested this in Windows XP Home…Some people say that the standard logon screen won’t come up (maybe they didn’t get all of the windows updates?), if that happens boot into safe mode and edit the registry back to normal)

Hide your taskbar in an instant

Such a great application!. I was searching for such an application. When somebody comes in to poke into your affairs while you are on a PC, this is the right reply for them.


Freeware application Magic Boss Key hides your open windows (and desktop icons and taskbar, if you want) with a deft stroke of your keyboard or mouse. Magic Boss Key is sort of like the Windows-D/M keyboard shortcut except that it doesn’t just minimize the windows—it hides them entirely so that they don’t even show up in the taskbar. Hit the shortcut a second time and every window is restored to its previous state.

Download is free.

Vista Defragmentation-the fastest way.

The never-ending two-step defragmenting process of Vista can soon become a thing of the past. With certain tools, we were able to cut defragmentation time of 25 GBs of files with Vista Ultimate from 82 minutes to 6 minutes!!! That is defragmenting 10X faster than the built-in Vista defragmenter! The tutorial also works with Windows 2000 and XP.

This is absolutely Free

Tools required:  contig.exe and PowerDefragmenter.

Tutorial:

Click here to download Power Defragmenter and Contig. They are both bundled together here.



What you need to know about contig is that it is a bit different than the other defragment programs out there - it is a single-file defragmenter. It’s strong point is optimizing files that continuously become fragmented. If contig determines that the file can be optimized, it is then moved into the free spaces of the disk.

No installation is required. The next step is to run Power Defragmenter. Click next, and you will arrive at the screen below:

You may then select from the following options:

Defragment File(s): Allows you to defragment up to 4 files

Defragment Folder(s): Allows you to defragment up to 4 folders

Defragment Disk: Allows you to defragment a disk

PowerMode(TM) Disk Defragmentation: Defragments at a power equivalent to two consecutive defragmentations. Time does not necessarily double.

After you click next, just choose the desired drive, and you’re good to go.

When you are finished, the command prompt window will read “Windows Disk Defragmenter…”

This is pretty much the fastest defragment you can ever get with great effectiveness. If you’re looking for something that is similar to what Windows Defragment does but at a faster speed, I would suggest Auslogics Disk Defragmenter.



Update: This is the only down-side to contig. It does not really tell you how well the fragmentation process went but as you could see from the visuals above, it is quite effective. If you wait 3-5 minutes before closing the window after the process is finished, the following statistics will be displayed:

- Hard Drive Space

- Free Space

- Largest free space extent

- Percent File Fragmentation

This is a trick to get you extremely worried and hence coerce you into purchase the software for a license fee. Even If you pay these scammers, you are not going to get any protection and the money you paid will get wasted. This software looks like a genuine antivirus software but its just a replication of legitimate antivirus software and doesn’t have any capabilities to detect or remove this virus. This scam is very sophisticated and you would better pay money to a legitimate security company to get rid of this threat and prevent your computer from any future infections. Here is a screenshot of the software showing fake security alerts :

How Antivirus System Pro Harms Your Computer?

This software can cause enormous damage to your computer and turn your computer into a junk box if you don’t remove it from your computer. In most instances, you will not be able to find out how your computer got infected with this threat in the first place. However, you can be sure that you’ve visited a website which is distributing this malware and you don’t have the right protection on your computer. It is also very likely, that you’ve visited a malicious website trying to download something for ‘free’ and hence became of victim of this threat. Please don’t visit such sites If you want to prevent your computer from hackers and criminals.

This software will cause a big dent in running speed of your computer and show your lots of pop-ups every now and then.

Download a Webpage Without Visiting It

Have you ever faced an error saying ‘Access Denied - The file may be in use’ or something like that, and the file which you are trying to delete is not deleted. It may be a Spyware, Malware, Ad-ware or any Trojan, that you want to delete but it can not be deleted. The usual reason for this is that a Software or Windows itself may be using i.e. running the file. If you want to delete the file, without using the complicated softwares, which you buy just to delete one file, then you are at the right place. In this article, you would be guided to delete such an ‘Undeletable’ file manually, or by using some Freeware softwares. There are several ways told in this article to remove these pesky undeletable files.

Trust-no-exe -Lock down your computer

Want to prevent your own friends from accessing your files….try trust-no-exe




Windows only: Lock down your PC and prevent unauthorized executable files from running with freeware application Trust-No-Exe. As the computer’s administrator, you can set up a whitelist of clean executable files that you will allow to run and selectively block others. Once installed, Trust-No-Exe adds an entry to your Control Panel, from which you can tweak your whitelist and blacklist.  It’s not foolproof, but it could be a worthwhile deterrent. Trust-No-Exe is freeware, Windows only.

Lock windows folders-without software

It is an awesome trick.Actually we are not locking the folder but just redirecting the folder to control panel when a user clicks on

the Icon.

Vaibhav Pandey,software engineer has deviced this method.

We are assuming that the name of the folder to be renamed is HideMePlease and it is located in D Drive, thereby making the path to the folder as Disc D:\

Step I

The trick is pretty simple, If you rename the folder ( in our case HideMePlease) to HideMePlease.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

When this renaming of the folder is done, windows by default makes it point to the control panel. Upon clicking on the folder after renaming, Control Panel is displayed.

To get your folder back to the original one, rename it back to HideMePlease.

In order to make the entire process simple and clean, i would suggest that you make two batch files (files ending with .bat extension). One file for hiding/locking the folder; the other for getting it back/unlocking it.

Step II

1.) The batch file for hiding the folder can be named as:

Hide.bat

2.) Open notepad/your favorite text editor and type in this

//THIS FILE SHOULD BE PLACED IN d:\

REN HideMePlease HideMePlease.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

Step III

1.) The batch file for unlocking the folder can be named as

Recover.bat

2.) Open notepad/your favorite text editor and type in this

//THIS FILE SHOULD BE PLACED IN D:\

REN HideMePlease.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} HideMePlease

IT IS A VERY GOOD TRICK AND WOULD COME HANDY WHEN YOU HAVE TO HIDE YOUR PERSONAL INFO FROM OTHERS!

Log off Your Classmate’s Computer

Please Dont Use This Trick To Harm Someone !



1. Make sure you’re in a lab with numbered computer names. To check, go to your start menu, right click My Computer, and select properties.


2. Check the computer name. If it is something like school22, then check the computer next to you. If it says something like school21 or school23 then you are on the right track.

3. If the guy you want to attack is on computer number 17 then write down your computer name and instead of the number on your computer replace it with 17.

4. Go to Start, Accessories, Communications, Remote Desktop Connection

5. Then in the RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) Type in the computer name with the selected number in this case 17, so it should be school17.

6. Click Connect.

7. Type in your school username and password (if you have one). If you don’t want to get in trouble, type in the public school username.

8. It should say something like “The user is on the selected computer, connecting should log them off.” Click OK.

9. They should be logged off, but be careful. The computer logged off should say “this computer is locked by ” so unless it’s your friend who wouldn’t say anything, you should use the public username.

10. Now do what you want to the computer. Shut it down or just stay on it and piss them off.

TIPS

· Make sure your computer is using Windows XP or 2000.

· This will be easier if the computers have numbers on them, like 21 or 23 so then if you find the computer name just remove the number and add the number of the computer you wish to attack.

· Some computers may not have the desired computer name.

· Your school computers may not be networked together, which means they cannot be accessed through RDC. However, you will probably have networked computers, so don’t worry.

· If you stay on the computer, they can’t log on unless you get off.

· This will not work if your school does not permit remote desktop.

10 Ways to Find a Lost Word .doc

Accidentally delete your work? Or save it somewhere and you can’t find it? Or the power went out? Before you start frantically emailing your professor, follow these steps:

1. Send out a search party.

In Windows, click Start, Search, All files and folders.

Type what you remember of the name or simply *.doc to get all your Word documents.

Select My Computer under Look in, and then under More advanced options, make sure Search hidden files and folders is checked.

Then hit Search.

2. Still no luck? Check your Recycle Bin.

Open it up and look through whatever files you’ve got. Did you find it? If so, right-click and choose Restore. Then if you’re not sure where it actually restored to, perform a search for it.

3. Or you can pray for AutoRecover.

Sometimes if Word crashes or closes unexpectedly, it’ll still save what you had. Re-open Word. If a Document Recovery task pane comes up, double-click your document to open it and immediately Save As.

4. Search for AutoRecover files, yourself.

In Word, go to Tools, then Options.

Under the File Locations tab, double-click AutoRecover files and make a note of that path location.

Click Cancel and Close.

Open up that folder in My Computer or Windows Explorer and search for any .asd files. (Or another way to do this would be to run a search similar to step one but with *.asd instead of *.doc)

5. If you have Word set to automatically back-up your documents, there’s still a chance here. Check the original folder for any .wbk file.

In Word, click File, then Open.

Navigate to the folder you think the file used to be located in and make sure All Files *.* is selected.

Is there any .wbk file there? Select it and see if it’s what you’re looking for.

6. Still no dice? Send out a *.wbk search party.

This step is the same as the first search party step, but now search for *.wbk files. You might find a few. Open them up, one by one.

7. Or search your temporary files.

Again, this is like step one. But search for *.TMP files this time. You’ll come up with a lot, so change the When was it modified? to the last week or so.

8. Or search even more of your temporary files.

Some temporary files like to be unique. Search for those with ~*.* this time.

9. Open up C:\Documents and Settings\*USERNAME*\Local Settings\Temp

This is a hidden folder, so you’ll probably have to use Windows Explorer. Hit Start, then All Programs.

Go to Accessories, then Windows Explorer. Navigate to that folder, where *USERNAME* is whatever your computer calls you. Do you see your document in that folder?

If none of those steps work, there are also programs that will help you recover deleted files. So this is the 10th and final option.

What’s important to understand here is that if you delete something, it doesn’t actually get deleted. Rather, it sits in a pile waiting to be overwritten. So the best way to recover a deleted file would be to try to find it right away –before it’s overwritten.

If you’d like to use a program, I’d recommend: Restoration, Undelete +, or Recuva. All are free.

I hope this helps. And remember: Jesus saves, but Buddha does incremental back-ups.

So, to turn on the automatic back-up feature in Word, check out Tools, Options, and the Save tab.

How You Can Recover lost word document

How will you deal with such a situation- Losing your 50 page word document, just through an accidental click of your mouse!


Don’t despair there are several ways out of this situation. Even though I could discover some of my lost word files by trial and error methods, nothing would match this list of ideas presented in the Web log Hack College website.

Some ideas order a mention in this post too:

· In Word, go to Tools, then Options. Under the File Locations tab, double-click Auto Recover files and make a note of that path location. Click Cancel and Close. Open up that folder in My Computer or Windows Explorer and search for any .ASD files.

· While a full-on backup system is your best bet for avoiding this situation in the future, you can also set Word to automatically back up your files (and if you already do, search for *.WBK files on your desktop for possible recovery, too.) If not, turn it on in the Tools menu’s Options dialog’s Save tab

Hacking a Computer

Crackers transform computers into zombies by using small programs that exploit weaknesses in a computer's operating system (OS). You might think that these crackers are cutting-edge Internet criminal masterminds, but in truth, many have little to no programming experience or knowledge. (Sometimes people call these crackers "script kiddies" because they are young and show no proficiency in writing script or code.) Investigators who monitor botnets say that the programs these crackers use are primitive and poorly programmed. Despite the ham-handed approach, these programs do what the crackers intended them to do -- convert computers into zombies.



In order to infect a computer, the cracker must first get the installation program to the victim. Crackers can do this through e-mail, peer-to-peer networks or even on a regular Web site. Most of the time, crackers disguise the malicious program with a name and file extension so that the victim thinks he's getting something entirely different. As users become savvier about Internet attacks, crackers find new ways to deliver their programs. Have you ever seen a pop-up ad that included a "No Thanks" button? Hopefully you didn't click on it -- those buttons are often just decoys. Instead of dismissing the annoying pop-up ad, they activate a download of malicious software.


Once the victim receives the program, he has to activate it. In most cases, the user thinks the program is something else. It might appear to be a picture file, an MPEG or some other recognizable file format. When the user chooses to run the program, nothing seems to happen. For some people, this raises alarm bells and they immediately follow up with a flurry of virus and spyware scanner activity. Unfortunately, some users simply think they received a bad file and leave it at that.






Meanwhile, the activated program attaches itself to an element of the user's operating system so that every time the user turns on his computer, the program becomes active. Crackers don't always use the same segment of an operating system's initializing sequence, which makes detection tricky for the average user.
 
 
 
The program either contains specific instructions to carry out a task at a particular time, or it allows the cracker to directly control the user's Internet activity. Many of these programs work over an Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and in fact there are botnet communities on IRC networks where fellow crackers can help one another out -- or attempt to steal another cracker's botnet.






Once a user's computer is compromised, the cracker pretty much has free reign to do whatever he likes. Most crackers try to stay below the radar of users' awareness. If a cracker alerts a user to his presence, the cracker risks losing a bot. For some crackers, this isn't much of a problem since some networks number in the hundreds of thousands of zombies.





In the next section, we'll look at the relationship between zombie computers and spam
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Malware


Programs designed to harm or compromise a computer are called malware (as in malicious software). Malware includes a wide array of nasty batches of code that can wreak havoc to your computer, your network and even the Internet itself. Some common forms of malware that might turn your computer into a zombie include:



Computer viruses - programs that disable the victim's computer, either by corrupting necessary files or hogging the computer's resources

Worms - programs that spread from one machine to another, rapidly infecting hundreds of computers in a short time

Trojan horse - a program that claims to do one thing, but actually either damages the computer or opens a back door to your system

Rootkits - a collection of programs that permits administrator-level control of a computer; not necessarily malware on its own, crackers use rootkits to control computers and evade detection

Backdoors - methods of circumventing the normal operating-system procedures, allowing a cracker to access information on another computer

Key loggers - programs that record keystrokes made by a user, allowing crackers to discover passwords and login codes





Zombie computer code usually is part of a virus, worm or Trojan horse. Zombie computers often incorporate other kinds of malware as part of its processes.
