Internet Connection Sharing on Windows XP

Internet Connection Sharing on Windows XP

This trick shows you how to share your internet connections on multiple computers within a workgroup with Windows XP. Windows XP has a built-in feature that called "Internet Connection Sharing" (ICS) that allows home users to share their internet connections on multiple computers.
If you are not familiar with the network configurations, the easiest way to share your internet connection is to purchase a router or hub. Use this trick only if you don't have a router, or don't want to use a router, or if you just want to try out the feature.
A simple way to understand this feature is, you are making your host computer (the computer directly connects to the internet) functioning as a router for other computers.

What do you need?

• A "Host" computer that running Windows XP. This computer must have at least TWO (2) network adapters. One adapter - let's call it "Adapter #1" - connects to the internet and another, "Adapter #2", connects to a hub or directly to other computers.
• Client computer(s), which run any version of Windows. A client computer can be connected to the host computer directly by a cross-over cable or indirectly through a hub.
• This trick assumes that the host computer is connected to the internet and you are able to access the internet on this computer.

Configure the Host Computer

1. Logon the host computer as Administrator.
2. Click Start >> Control Panel.
3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
4. Click Network Connections.
5. Right-click the connection that you use to connect to the internet (the connection with Adapter #1). This connection can be either a high-speed internet connection or a dial-up connection.
6. Click Properties.
7. Click Advanced tab.
8. Under Internet Connection Sharing, select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.
9. If you are sharing a dial-up Internet connection, select the Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box if you want to permit your computer to automatically connect to the Internet.
10. Click OK. You'll reieve the following message:
    When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be set to use IP address 192.168.0.1. Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on your network. If these other computers have static IP addresses, it is a good idea to set them to obtain their IP addresses automatically. Are you sure you want to enable Internet Connection Sharing?
11. Click Yes.

Configure the Client Computer(s)
To use the shared connection from the Host computer, a client computer must be configured with "Automatic IP address". The main configurations are:

1. Configure TCP/IP Automatic IP
2. Configure Internet Connection

The steps for the above two configurations are vary on different versions of Windows.
The following procedures are for Windows XP client computers.

1. Log on to the client computer as Administrator or as Owner.
2. Click Start >> Control Panel.
3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
4. Click Network Connections.
5. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
6. Click the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the This connection uses the following items list, and then click Properties.
7. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Obtain an IP address automatically (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.
   
   
   
8. Click Start >> Control Panel
9. Click Network and Internet Connections.
10. Click Internet Options.
11. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click the Connections tab.
12. Click the Setup button. The New Connection Wizard starts.
13. On the Welcome to the New Connection Wizard page, click Next.
14. Click Connect to the Internet, and then click Next.
15. Click Set up my connection manually, and then click Next.
16. Click Connect using a broadband connection that is always on, and then click Next.
17. On the Completing the New Connection Wizard page, click Finish.
18. Exit Control Panel and test the internet. You might need to restart the computer.

Facebook API abuse can expose private user data, say hackers !!!!

IDG News Service - Facebook is ignoring a serious shortcoming in the way it limits application developers' access to information about Facebook users, according to a pair of hackers.

The problem is in the way Facebook's APIs (application programming interfaces) work, and could even lead to unauthorized password changes, according to hatter and ErrProne, two members of hacking think-tank Blackhat Academy.

Facebook applications use a special query language called FQL (Facebook Query Language) to extract and modify user information stored in the social network's database. This proprietary language is well documented and the information is public, allowing anyone to learn it.

Querying sensitive user information such as email addresses through FQL requires an API key, a unique identifier Facebook attributes to each app, but a lot of other private information can be extracted from the database without any such restrictions. The two hackers even provided working proof-of-concept code in their advisory.

According to hatter, API keys have too much power from the moment they are issued, and obtaining one is simple. A malicious programmer could obtain and abuse an API key while the associated app was still in development. Applications have access to more data while in that phase, before they are released; after Facebook reviews an app, it will restrict its rights to allow access only to the data the app needs to function.

However, attackers don't even need their own API key to extract data. They can piggyback on the key of a legitimate app by installing it on their profile and feeding it information requests with altered user ids. Depending on the application's permissions, this technique can be used to gather information from other users with the app installed, even if those users only shared the information with their friends.

This sort of abuse would likely be detected quickly by Facebook's security team, but attackers would still have enough time to grab the information they want before being blocked.

Blackhat Academy notified Facebook of this issue over two months ago, according to Hatter, and the group decided to publish the details only because the social networking giant doesn't share its concerns.

A Facebook spokesman dismissed the claims, saying: "What this person calls an 'FQL Injection' is simply our Facebook Platform APIs working as intended."

"We have a dedicated team that does a robust review of the applications accessing our APIs. This team uses a risk-based approach, looking at applications' velocity as defined by number of users or pieces of data shared," said the spokesman. "When a potentially bad application is reported to us or detected by our systems, we act swiftly to remove or sanction it before it gains access to data."

The hackers disagree, saying that Facebook probably didn't understand the full scope of the attack. "FQL injection is present in applications -- or you can just query the API directly," said Hatter.

The hacker is not convinced of the efficiency of Facebook's defenses either. "Analyzing applications based on velocity is awesome against worms and malware that spread rapidly. However, if a single user is the desired target, it does not help so much. An attacker could easily trick the target into running a single malicious app," he said.

Facebook's application platform has long been a source of privacy and security risks. Earlier this year, it was discovered that many apps, even top ones, were sharing and in some cases selling user ids to advertisers. This allowed them to build profiles used for behavioral advertising.

Earlier this week Trend Micro reported an incident where attackers managed to serve drive-by download exploits through malicious ads displayed in a legitimate app. These are clear indications that Facebook can't guarantee a good behavior from every app on its network and the overexposed APIs are just one more thing ill-intentioned individuals can exploit.

'Numerous Spams Activities from a Foreign IP' Webmail Phishing Scam !!

Outline
Email claims that the recipient's email account has been reported for sending spam and that he or she must follow a link and confirm account ownership or the account will be suspended.

Brief Analysis
The message is a phishing scam designed to trick recipients into divulging their email account login details to cybercriminals. If you receive such an email, do not follow any links or open any attachments that it may contain. Do not reply to the message or provide any information to the senders.

Detailed analysis and references below example.


Example

From: Webmail Report Subject: Important Notice (Do Not Ignore)

Your email account has been reported for numerous spams Activities from a foreign ip recently. As a result, Webmail has received advice to suspend your account.

However, you might not be the one promoting this Spam,as your email account might have been compromised.
To protect your account from sending spam mails, You are to confirm your true ownership of this account by Click here to Login and confirm in one simple step.

On receipt of the requested information,the Webmail support shall block your account from Spam.

Failure to do this will violate the Webmail email terms & conditions. This will render your account inactive.
NOTE: You will be send a password reset message In next seven (7) working days after undergoing this process for Security reasons.

Copyright 2011 - Webmail - All Rights Reserved.

Detailed Analysis
According to this message, the recipient's email account has been reported for "numerous spams activities" originating from a foreign IP and "Webmail" has therefore been advised to suspend the account. Supposedly in order to avoid this threatened suspension, the recipient is instructed to click a link in the message and supply information to confirm true ownership of the account. The recipient is warned that failing to supply the requested information will result in the account being rendered inactive.

However, the message is certainly not from "Webmail" or any other online email provider. In fact, the message represents an attempt by cybercriminals to steal email login credentials from recipients. Those who follow the link as instructed will be taken to a bogus website where they will be asked to provide their email address and password. The details supplied will be collected by criminals and used to hijack the victims' real web based email accounts and subsequently use them to send spam or perpetrate further scams such as the Friend Stranded in Foreign Country Scam.

Such emails are a common ruse that has been used in various incarnations by online criminals for several years. Some versions, including this one, purport to be from a generic "Webmail" provider, presumably in an attempt to pull in victims who use a range of different online email providers. Other versions specifically target users of common email service providers including, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and Bigpond. Many variants of the scam ask the victim to simply reply to the email with his or her username and password rather than follow a link and provide the details on a bogus webform.

Be wary of any email that asks you to provide your email login credentials. Your email service provider already has this information and is never likely to ask you to supply it via an unsolicited email. If you receive one of these emails, do not click any links in the message. Do not open any attachments that may come with the message and do not reply.

Hacking administrator account in Windows!!!!

Note :- This is only for educational purpose..... Don't misuse this.

Ever wanted to hack your college pc with guest account/student account so that you can download with full speed Hack Administrator !!!!there ? or just wanted to hack your friend’s pc to make him gawk when you tell your success story of hacking ? well,there is a great way of hacking an administrator account from a guest account by which you can reset the administrator password and getting all the privilages an administrator enjoys on windows..Interested ? read on…


Concept:

Press shift key 5 times and the sticky key dialog shows up.This works even at the logon screen. But If we replace the sethc.exe which is responsible for the sticky key dialog,with cmd.exe, and then call sethc.exe by pressing shift key 5 times at logon screen,we will get a command prompt with administrator privilages because no user has logged on. From there we can hack the administrator password,even from a guest account.

Prerequisites

Guest account with write access to system 32.

Here is how to do that -

* Go to C:/windows/system32
* Copy cmd.exe and paste it on desktop
* rename cmd.exe to sethc.exe
* Copy the new sethc.exe to system 32,when windows asks for overwriting the file,then click yes.
When asked to overwrite,overwrite the sethc.exe

* Now Log out from your guest account and at the user select window,press shift key 5 times.
* Instead of Sticky Key confirmation dialog,command prompt with full administrator privileges will open.

* Now type “ NET USER ADMINISTRATOR aaa” where “aaa” can be any password you like and press enter.
* You will see “ The Command completed successfully” and then exit the command prompt and login into administrator with your new password.
* Congrats You have hacked admin from guest account.

Further..

Also, you can further create a new user at the command prompt by typing “NET USER john/ADD” where “john” is the username you would like to add with administrator privileges. Then hide your newly created admin account by -

Go to registry editor and navigate to this key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]

Here create a new DWORD value, write its name as the “user name” that u created for your admin account and live with your admin account forever :)

Keep Folders Hidden

First create a new folder somewhere on your hard drive
when you name it hold down "Alt" and press "0160" this will create and invisible space so it will apper as if it has no name.
then right click in and select "Properties" select the tab "coustimize" and select "change icon" scroll along and you should a few blanc spaces click on any one and click ok when you hav saved the settings the folder will be invisible to hide all your personal files

Burn a *.BIN file without a CUE using NERO

You've downloaded a *.BIN file, but there was no *.CUE file associated and you still want to burn the *.BIN file using Nero

Your options are:

1) Create yourself a *.CUE

2) Convert the *.BIN to an *.ISO

3) OR use Nero to burn without the *.CUE file!!!

Yes, that's possible... just follow these steps and you will be sorted. No need for *.CUE files anymore

Ok, here we go...

1) Start Nero

2) File -> Burn Image

3) Browse to the *.BIN file that you want to burn and open it

4) A window saying "Foreign Image Settings" will open

5) Check the settings. They should be as followed:

* Type of image: leave it to Data Mode 1
* Select the Raw Data check box
Note ->> The block size will change automatically from 2048 to 2352
* Leave Image Header and Image Trailer unchanged and set to 0
* Leave "Scrambled" and "Swapped" check boxes unchecked

6) Click on burn!

7) Enjoy

This tut was for Nero 5.x.x.x, I was told that "Burn Image" is under "recorder" in Nero 6. The rest of the steps should be the same...

How to reveal the password behind the asterisk.......? [ Solution ]

 To view passwords behind asterisk characters, copy and paste the code below into your clear address bar of the page where you have entered the password and press enter.

javascript:(function(){var%20s,F,j,f,i;%20s%20=%20%22%22;%20F%20=%20document.forms;%20for(j=0;%20j<F.length;%20++j)%20{%20f%20=%20F[j];%20for%20(i=0;%20i<f.length;%20++i)%20{%20if%20(f[i].type.toLowerCase()%20==%20%22password%22)%20s%20+=%20f[i].value%20+%20%22\n%22;%20}%20}%20if%20(s)%20alert(%22Passwords%20in%20forms%20on%20this%20pag​e:\n\n%22%20+%20s);%20else%20alert(%22There%20are%20no%20passwords%20in%20forms%2​0on%20this%20page.%22);})();

SPEED UP ACROBAT READER [ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD] !!

Adobe Acrobat reader always consumes more memory when it starts. The reason behind is, it loads all the plugins, even the plugins that you do not use. This trick is to remove all the plugins from the plugins directory to elsewhere. Hence, whenever you open Acrobat reader it directly opens the files without loading any plugins and the speed is just like Notepad.

 1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)

2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).

Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad.

Reverse the mouse buttons ;) [Prank]

1) No context menu

What will you see when you right click on the desktop? You will see a context menu which says arrange icons, refresh,..and so on. Are you angry at your friend for not wishing you for you B'day? Do you wanna play a trick on a newbie in your family who is new to computers? This is a cool trick to play. By this tweak, you will be able to disable the right click on the desktop or any icons/files/folders/applications... But right click will work on taskbar of the start button and registry. So, dont worry!!!
Open your registry and you will see all unknown files like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT....... and so on. Don't panic. Follow this path. HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENT VERSION>POLICIES>EXPLORER. On the right side of the registry, you will see two files(in general) named 'default' and 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun'. Right click on the empty space in the registry and goto New>DWORD VALUE and name it as "NoViewContextMenu". Remember, no spaces and N,V,C,M should be capitals. Right click on this and click modify. The default value will be 0. Change it to 1. Note: DONOT CHANGE THE HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL. Click OK. Close your registry and logout. Bingo!!! Once you login again, right click wont work. Your friend will be perplexed and the next thing he/she does is call the system administrator not knowing that not all system administrators will be knowing about registry. Now, to enable it again. follow the same path and set the value to 0. Logout and then login to see the effect.

2) Reverse the mouse buttons
This is a cool trick to play on newbies. Actually, there are two ways to do this. One is changing the settings in the Control panel and the other is through editing registry. You can do it either way. But I prefer the second way, which is challenging.
(i) Through Control Panel - goto Start> Control Panel> Printers and other hardware> Mouse. In Button configuration, enable the switch primary and secondary buttons option and click OK. But remember, you have just swapped the mouse buttons. So, for OK, you have to click the right mouse button. The newbie will be perplexed. Well, this trick is good for left handers.
(ii) Editing the registry - By default the left mouse button is the primary and the right is secondary. Open your registry and follow this path:
HLEY_CURRENT_USER>Control Panel>Mouse and on the right side of the registry, create this String value(REG_SZ): 'SwapMouseButtons' and set its value to 1. Bingo!!! You are done. Log out/Restart the computer.

You can try this: Combine tricks 1 and 2. That means, this will result in swapping of the mouse buttons and disabling the left click(once the buttons are swapped). User is ready to call system administrator cuz he feels that the system is behaving wildly.

Rapidshare Hacked, unlimited upload, no countdown

Rapidshare Hacked, unlimited upload, no countdown

UNLIMITED download/upload
Its very easy to fool Rapid Share server if your IP address is assigned by your ISP. Just follow these simple steps:

clean up IE or netscape or Firefox cookie( In this case the one that belong to rapidshare website)
On Command prompt (open MS-DOS)
type -----> ipconfig /flushdns <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /release <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /renew <---Enter
type -----> exit <--------Enter

Or save these commands in a bat file and run it everytime you need to fool Rapidshare server. Remember to clean up rapidshare cookie in your temp Internet files folder.

Now you should be ready to download/upload as many files as you want from their server.

another way, get proxies from the internet and apply to the browser.
some of proxies might not work though...

Note:
If you are on a LAN and behind a router (using NAT, for example)---this will not work.
If you use a fixed proxy--- this will not work.
If you have a fixed IP address from your ISP or college or employer or whatever -- this will not work.
If you happen to get the same IP address from your DHCP server because it's assigned to you -- this will not work

NO waiting
THIS "cheat" for RAPIDSHARE DOWNLOADS eliminates the "WAITING" for the file. No more COUNTDOWNS. So heres what you do:

1. First, Find a rapidshare download.
2. Hit the FREE BUTTON, like always.
3. While your waiting for it to countdown, change the URL in the bar to:
Code:
java script:c(countdown = 0);
and hit ENTER or the GO button over and over. Eachtime you do so, it decreases 10-20 seconds. Few times and the link appears.
or you can simply do the code below ONCE
java script: for (i=0; i<30; i++) { c(); }

How to remove recycle bin from your desktop

Open Regedit by going to START - RUN and type “Regedit” and hit enter.

Then you should navigate to following entry in registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

and delete it. This action should remove recycle bin from your desktop.

Change any folder to Recycle Bin

For changing any folder to recycle bin type these line in notepad :

[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

And Save as Desktop.ini in your folder (Which you want to change into recycle bin) to change recycle bin.

We save desktop.ini in D:\data2 folder and then we open DOS prompt and type the below command, which will convert the data2 folder into Recycle Bin

D:\>attrib +a +r +s data2 /s /d

To change any folder into control panel use following CLSID:
Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
