How to Recover/Hack Windows XP password using Cain & Abel

2010-02-19T13:09:00.009+05:30

Introduction:-
In Your Windows XP, 7, VISTA, NT or 2000 system there is a file which store your system password. this file is sam(system account manager) which store all your account information (i.e., user name, password and user setting) and because password can't be saved as it is in a file because it can be hacked easily therefore Windows encrypt this password using a key(this key is stored in System file).
Both System and SAM file is stored at the same location i.e.,

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config

so to recover password we need both these file but because these file are locked so we can not use these file from window so we need other operating system to copy both these files let's say linux(because we can see windows drive in linux so you can go to above location and copy both sam and system file). if you don't have linux it's fine windows store these file in other location also i.e.,

C:\WINDOWS\repair

which Windows does not use so we can copy both files from this directory(but these file are created at the time of disk repair so there are chances that you may not get new password, if you changed your password recently)
How to use "Cain & Abel" To Recover Windows XP Password?
Steps:-

Copy Both System & SAM file from any of the above location.
Download Cain & Abel from here and install it on your System.(antivirus might alert you, but don't worry)
Now open Cain & Abel and go to "Cracker" tab
Now click "+" sign as shown in the figure below.
Now a dialog will appear as shown in the figure above browse to sam file in first field and copy past the hex key by browsing to system file
Now You will see a list of user of the system as shown below.
Suppose among the user in the above list i wanted to recover password of "mac" user name then right click on mac> Brute Force Attack > LM Hashes. now you will see window similar to below image.
Now set your preference in the last window and click start the attack. after it successfully finished performing password recovery it will show you password like in the image below.

NOTE:-Before beginning to Recover password of Your System. i must clear you that this trick should be used to recover your system's password NOT to Hack Other Persons password because by doing that you could go to prison.

How Do I Forward Internet Port(Port Forwarding)?

2009-02-21T20:20:00.009+05:30

Introduction:-
Port forwarding refers to opening of closed port so that two or more application over internet can communicate with each other.You can think port as the way through which an application can communicate/reach to you that' why we need port 80 for http page telnet for 23 and ftp for 21.

Port forwarding for different modem/router is different but the theme remain the same in most modem/router.

WAY ONE:-

Steps for port forwarding:-

Go to your browser and type 192.168.1.1(default page for router/modem setting).
In here type the username and password(commonly it is set to admin, admin).
NOTE:- in case username and password is not admin then you can see it on the backside of your router/modem or can call your service provider.
Now you will see the home page of your router in here click advanced link.
in advanced page click port forwarding link which will take you to the page which is similar to the page shown below

the page which you see above is present in almost all router/modem in addition to this some routers also provide you to forward ports directly for some common services like website(at 80), telnet(at 23), smtp(at 25) and many more.
In here type
- rule name :- any thing
- protocol:- depending on port to forward(generally tcp/udp)
- port start:-port to farward
- port end:-same as port start
- port map:- same as port start.
Now apply the change and save all the setting so that after resetting your modem/router your setting remain the same.

WAY TWO:-

In case you are not able to forward port using the above defined technique or not able to find port forwarding link:-

Go to google, yahoo or whatever search engine you use.
Now in search box type port forwarding "company name of router/modem" "model no." To search the article regarding port forwarding for your router.
In case you don't Understand the second point OR not able to search the article for your router then go to portforwarding.com and check some other router of the same company as your router for help.
NOTE:-If even now you are not able to forward your ports then ask your ISP to do it for you.

How To change Ip address?

2008-10-28T22:23:00.007+05:30

Introduction:-
Changing the ip address of a computer refers to spoofing ip address. actualy now you can not spoof your ip address because when you spoof your ip address and send the message on the network then the gateway from which your message passess to the server will not except your request because this gateway except request only from a computer that is under its range and because you have changed your ip so you are no more in its range therefore you will not be able to surf net. hence we tunnel through proxy to get ip address of proxy server and surf net with different ip address.
In tunneling through proxy or using proxy server our request is first send to the proxy server which then send this request to server and after proxy server get's the result of this request it send this result to our computer.
there are many site which u can use for surfing site like www.browser9.com where u can put the name of site which u want's to surf. there is an ulternative to that and that is by using software called ultra surf which tunnel our request directly. and providing a simple and easy way to surf net without going to proxy site to visit some site.
this is very simple to operate and free to use. You can download it from here

problem in ultra surf!
older version of ultra surf don't configure mozilla to surf for proxy surf so to make it work with ultra surf do as i say:-

go to tools in menu.
Now click options.
Now in new window click advanced tab then go to setting option in there.
Fill your proxy setting as i have filled(see image).

TIPS:-
for easier enable and disable of proxy setting in mozilla add a addon quick proxy that will display a image on which P is written u can make it red and green by pressing.
Here green indicate that proxy is enable and red indicate that it is disabled.

Any thing other than ultra surf!!!!!!!!

Ulternative of ultra surf!

vidalia bundle is a freeware integrated software used same as ultra surf do. it is an integration of privoxy and tor where privoxy is proxy server and the tor helps it to connect to proxy server.

this works on all the three mac os, linux and windows operating system.

you can download vidalia bundle for window using above link. and for linux and mac os go here

how to upgrade bios?

2008-10-27T23:39:00.006+05:30

Introduction:-
BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output Service. it is a type of program which is stored inside the ROM chip(kind of memory like hard disk but very less) of your motherboard. So our main aim here is to update the bios stored inside ROM Chip.
Update of motherboard ROM depends on the type of memory chip used in your PC because There are two types of ROM chips used in PCs:-
1) Mask-ROM (used on old motherboards and that cannot be updated by software)
2) Flash-ROM (on almost all motherboards, which is able to be updated by software).
and because mask-rom can not be upgraded by normal user so i am leaving this upon you and will teach update of flash-rom bios.

NOTE:-Sometimes, especially when upgrading your PC, you may need to perform a BIOS upgrade in order to update your system to accept a new hardware part or to fix a bug.

STEPS:-
1) find out motherboard manufacturer, model number and bios manufacturer of your computer. You can find it by

viewing motherboard.

Using the software speccy.

2) Now go to the download center of motherboard manufacturer site and then fill the information of your motherboard and hit enter.

NOTE:-website address of some common motherboard manufacturer's site is listed here

3) Then u will be given 2 file(most probably) one will be .bin or .rom and other will be program(.exe file) according to your bios manufacturer.

NOTE:-program can be present in your driver's CD(comes with motherboard).

4) burn a cd with file(.bin or .rom) and the program(.exe).
5) Restart your computer.
6) Now boot your computer from cd(by choosing cd as first boot disc in your bios set-up(for that press del after restart).
7) type

"program name" /?

and use appropriate option for update .

for my bios i used:-

Awdflash F:\tx98-a22.bin /SN /PY /CC /R

where,

SN: (No Save)
PY: (Program BIOS)
CC: (Clear CMOS)
R: (Restart)

NOTE:-

u can download the file by tying the the model no of your motherboard in google(some of the site(like softpedia) will provide u the bin or rom file.
but u must download the program to upgrade your bios using the file from the motherboard manufacturer site or from cd.
