Breaking Administrator’s Password

Administrator password can be broken by replacing sam file in system32\config by the sam file in repair folder of windows. it can be easily done on a machine with dual operating systems, simply log on to os other then the one whoes password is to be cracked the way is exactly same as written above but if there is a single os on a machine then there is only one way i.e to use ms dos start up disk or some other boot disk and replace the sam file in config folder with the one in repair folder
note:- this method works only if hard drive is FAT32 formatted because NTFS drive does’nt take boot from Ms DOS
This way you can remove the old administratOr password as if the windows is newly installed and the password was’nt set.

Find the “real” IP address of a web site

You can use the PING utility included with Windows to determine the “real” IP address of a web site. Before using this utility, make sure you are not mapping a host name to some IP address with HostName Commander, because if you do, the PING utility will show the address you’ve set up with HostName Commander, instead of the “real” IP address.

To run the PING utility, click on the Windows Start button, and choose Run from the Start Menu. If you use Windows 95,98, or Me, enter “command” (without the quotes) as the command line to run. If you use Windows XP,2000, or NT, enter “cmd” (again, without the quotes). Click OK and the command prompt window should appear on the screen.

Now enter the word “ping” (without the quotes) followed by a space, followed by the host name you want to determine the IP address of, and press Enter:

In this example, the IP address of the host name www.rkgit.edu.in is 74.52.201.2 & IP Address of the host name www.kiet.edu is 220.225.19.55 . (Keep in mind that the IP address may change in the future!). If the PING utility reports an error, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet when you are running it.

How to Editing Startup Items On Your Mac?

This trick is going to show you how you can modify your start up items. When you Mac boots it will first run the Start Up Items folder, then produce the login screen, finally it would log in and run any login items. There is a slight difference in the two folders (Start Up and Login), as a result you can have different effects.
To find your Start Up Items folder, go to Macintosh HD > Library > StartupItems depending on what you have installed there can be any where between zero entries and a whole leap of folders. Here you can dissect what is going on. If you have an application that misbehaves on bootup, it can be a good bet to move it out of the folder. Anything in this folder will run just after boot, so if you have boot problems, the offending code will probably be in this folder.
I haven’t tested this trick, however, if you want applications to run at boot, place them in a folder within the Startup Items, restart you computer and see of the application runs. This can be useful for running your Mac in kiosk mode or making an application run before you have to log in (such as monitoring apps). Have a play around and see what happens. If anything breaks move it out of the folder and try again.
I have a had a look around for various different resources on the StartupItems folder. At the moment it seems to be trial and error if anything works.

Locking the desktop

If you are leaving your computer for a while and do not wish to turn it off, but want to assure that no-one else can use the computer while you are away, locking the desktop is the best option.

By pressing WINDOWSKEY+L, you password protect your system just as if you had logged out or restarted the computer. The advantage is that any programs or processes that were running when you locked the desktop will stay open and running in the background, ready for you to resume work or play.


Windows XP is like a big ocean of tips and tricks. In the coming days I will add more and more Windows XP tips, tricks and hacks to this article.

Force windows XP to reboot upon crashing

This registry edit will cause your system to reboot itself automatically upon crashing. This can be useful if you have a reason for keeping your system on 24/7:

Open REGEDIT

Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl'

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon

To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, click Start then goto Run, write Regedit and press Enter. It opens Registry Editor. Now in Registry Editor go to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don’t type any quotes).

Removing Shared Documents folder From My Computer

Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit. Once in registry, navigate to key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ My Computer \ NameSpace \ DelegateFolders

You must see a sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If you delete this key, you have effectively removed the my shared documents folder.

Creating Shutdown Icon or One Click Shutdown

Navigate to your desktop. On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut (in other words, create a new shortcut). You should now see a pop-up window instructing you to enter a command line path.
Use this path in "Type Location of the Item"
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct letter of the hard drive. Click the "Next" button. Name the shortcut and click the "Finish" button. Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you’re done.

Creating a desktop shortcut for locking your pc !

If you use your computer in an area where others may have access to it, and there are things on your system you would rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave the computer is an essential task. Here's a recipe for a desktop shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy clicks:

Right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose 'new' then 'shortcut.' The create shortcut wizard will open; in the first text box, type '%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' and then give your shortcut an appropriate name on the next page, and hit 'finish.'

You will notice that the shortcut you created has a blank icon. To select a more appropriate one, right click on the shortcut and hit 'properties.' In the 'shortcut' tab, click the 'change icon' button.

In the 'look for icons in this file' box, type '%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll' then click 'ok' to see a range of icons for your new shortcut. Choose an appropriate icon. Your desktop locking shortcut is now ready for use. Test it out.

How to disable Right click on Desktop?

This tweak removes the context menu that would normally appear when the user right clicks on the desktop or in the Explorer right results.

In this post i want to show you how to disable the right click functionality on desktop and explorer by using a simple registry hack. The bad thing is that people can still drag files and folders and drop them everywhere but it does provide some level of protection.

Lets start:

To use this feature, you will need to be logged into your computer with administrative rights.

1. Go to Start > Run > type REGEDIT and hit enter. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer


2. Here in right side panel, right click to create a new DWORD value with the name NoViewContextMenu (it is case sensitive), then assign number 1 in value data box.


Adding the registry tweak above will disable mouse right click for ALL users. If you only want to disable for the current logged in user, you should add the registry tweak to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

How to find the IP address of the email sender in Yahoo! Mail

Guide to tracking of emails to find sender's IP address using email headers.

In this tutorial i shall be writing about the trick to get the IP Address of sender in Yahoo Mail. This is useful if someone is spamming your inbox with junk mail or any other reason you may have to find the location of the email sender.


Note: You won't be able to find the real IP address if the sender uses an anonymous proxy server.

Here is a step by step guide to get the IP address of an email sender in Yahoo! Mail:

1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
2. Click on Inbox or any folder where you have stored your mail.
3. Open the mail
4. At the bottom right region of the email, you'll see there is a drop-down option "Full Headers". If you can't find it press Ctrl+F and search for "header".


5. Click on it and look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].


6. That should most likely be the IP address of the sender. If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.

Now, you can find the exact location of the sender by using GeoBytes IP Locator or IP2Location.

How to use Trial Version software forever without Expiration

Here is the list of my top softwares that will stop time of each trial version software:

1. Time Stopper

Time Stopper is a software which can stop a time for try out version software. When you stop the time you can use your try-out versions forever. When you stop the time of a try-out version using this Time Stopper it works via this Time Stopper. Real time and date run normally on your system. You can use any number of try-out version softwares with this software.


How it Works?

* Open Time Stopper
* Browse and select .exe of required trial software
* Choose the new date (Any date which occurs in between your trial software time period before expiration, suggestion: set it to two days before trial software expiration date).
* Choose any time
* Click open software on your selected date

If you wish to create an icon for your modified trial software and do not want to open Time stopper every time then use last button in software to create new icon. open that trial software after that from that newly created icon always otherwise it can expire.

Download Time Stopper | Size: 844 KB

2. RunAsDate

RunAsDate is a small utility that allows you to run a program in the date and time that you specify. This utility doesn't change the current system date and time of your computer, but it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application.
You can run multiple applications simultaneously, each application works with different date and time, while the real date/time of your system continues to run normally.


How does it work ?

RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify.

Download RunAsDate | Size: 21.3 KB

3. Date Cracker 2000

Date Cracker 2000 is a program which removes the date protection from programs which expire after a specific date. It is most useful for shareware or trial versions of software. Note that this program should be used for educational purposes only. Another interesting software developed allows you to remove passwords from MS Access '95 or '97 MDB files.

Software like Date Cracker 2000 helps two kinds of people.

Software Users...........
Software Developers...

Software Users are benefited by a great extent because they can use a shareware or trial version of a software indefinitely. This means that most software which expire after a certain date can be used well after that date (almost indefinitely). The key is to run the software via Date Cracker 2000 when you get a demo / trial version of any software.

Software Developers should be aware of such programs (trust me, they are!). They must devise better algorithms so that their software will be protected better. But the fact is, most software developers do not mind their software (Trial versions/ Demo's) being run by such programs....while some developers cannot do anything about their software after releasing it. But they can ensure that later versions of their software should have better date protection. Of course, there will be always be a newer version of Date Cracker 2000.


How it Works?

* Start by opening Date Cracker
* Click Add
* Enter the description for your program
* Click the [...] button at the bottom of the screen
* Search for the executable file of the trial program
* Set the Simulated Run Date past the trial expiration date
* Click Run

That’s it, you’re now on your way to using your favorite trials hassle free.

A Few Tips:

The key is to run the software via Date Cracker when you run a trial for the first time.
Dates should be entered in full e.g. 2090/06/30

Remotely Control Any Computer in The World Using TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a good program to quickly share desktops with another user. The free version will let you create secure sessions and control what you show to your contact over the internet.

Some time ago i was looking for a software which is able to establish a connection to another pc through internet. Many different remote access softwares exist, but not all are equally fast, reliable, and secure. I found an amazing software "Teamviewer" which lets you remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer that works behind any firewall and NAT proxy. This software has amazing features like file transfer, presentation, remote support, vpn. The best of all is that this software provides remote support. When you try to help your friends with problems in their computer via phone or instant messaging most of the times they don't understand what you are saying and you need to spend precious time explaining them. Using this software you can fix any computer connected to the internet just by sitting in front of your computer. You just have to install this software on your system and ask the people on the other side to install the same and tell u the ID and password. Once you enter the id and password you will be able to connect to their system. People on the other side can watch what you are doing on their computer screen and can learn how to fix the problem themselves if it happens again. You can also record sessions and play them back afterward. These can then be used as tutorials or to go back on what you've done in previous sessions. The login id and password will be valid only for one session.


Here are some key features of TeamViewer:

* Remote Control without Installation
With TeamViewer you can remotely control any PC anywhere on the Internet. No installation is required, just run the application on both sides and connect - even through tight firewalls.

* Remote Presentation of Products, Solutions and Services
The second TeamViewer mode allows you to present your desktop to a partner. Show your demos, products and presentations over the Internet within seconds - live from your screen.

* File Transfer
TeamViewer comes with integrated file transfer that allows you to copy files and folders from and to a remote partner - which also works behind firewalls

* Works behind Firewalls
The major difficulties in using remote control software are firewalls and blocked ports, as well as NAT routing for local IP addresses.
If you use TeamViewer you don't have to worry about firewalls: TeamViewer will find a route to your partner.

* Highest Security Standard
TeamViewer is a very secure solution. The commercial TeamViewer versions feature completely secure data channels with key exchange and RC4 session encoding, the same security standard used by https/SSL.

* No Installation Required
To install TeamViewer no admin rights are required. Just run the software and off you go...

* High Performance
Optimized for connections over LANs AND the Internet, TeamViewer features automatic bandwidth-based quality selection for optimized use on any connection.

* Very Competitively Priced, Free Versions available
TeamViewer offers a lot of value for low prices, there even is a free version for non-commercial use available.


TeamViewer


Softwares like TeamViewer can be easyly used for hacking. Imagine that this is something like a Trojan (This isn't exactly a Trojan), a Trojan installs on the victims computer without his knowledge and runs in the background which gives you access to his computer. This software proves that hacking is not impossible. Anyway i'll explain about this way of hacking in some other post.
