How to Recover Windows XP password using Cain & Abel

Introduction:-
Cryptography Decrypted                       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:-
  1. Copy Both System & SAM file from any of the above location.
  2. Download Cain & Abel from here and install it on your System.(antivirus might alert you, but don't worry)
  3. Now open Cain & Abel and go to "Cracker" tab
  4. Now click "+" sign as shown in the figure below.



  5. 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
  6. Now You will see a list of user of the system as shown below.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

How to Download buffered video

Introduction:-
I have written this post for those person who, like me, could not see the video directly on browser, because of low speed.
An interesting thing about all the video that you see on browser before being displayed on screen is that it firstly download on your computer at "C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Temp" or at "C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files" with some name. the data stored at 2nd place can be retained but in first case there is a problem you can not access this data because during the browser is running, this file can not be accessed(because whenever any process is taking place the cause of this process is locked) and after you turn browser off the data automaticaly deletedright click on .tmp file for downloading youtube video. Therefore here we use a tool which can stop the process and then can copy this data. named unlocker, you can download it from here.



Steps:-

1. Find the file in above mentioned two directory
(green colored string) with memory in range of Mb.

NOTE:-
a)the above mentioned file is of tmp extention.


b)see its memory by going through the property of file not by overing it.

2.Now, right click on this file and then go to unlocker. then you will get a window as shown below.

unlocker windows select copy then ok3.then, from the combo box(left bottom corner of window appeared) select copy.

4. now, it will prompt for address where you want file to be copied

5.Now, for playing this copied file first change tmp extention to flv and run it using any flv player like(km player or vlc player).

How to use Microsoft Virtual PC or sun's Virtualbox?

Introduction:-
Both mircosoft virtual pc and virtualbox are virtuallization product which are used to install an operating system what ever it is (windows or linux) inside another operating system. it is very usefull for those person who needs to work on both linux and windows because using this software we can run both windows and linux at the same time and without any delay can switch b/w them.
download links for both these software is provided below.
1) microsoft virtual pc(only for windows system ).
2) Sun Microsystems virtual box(for all platform ).
both of these software are equally good for you but i prefer virtual box.
don't worry i will teach you both.

Q)How to use virtual pc?
Ans)
1) First of all you have to download it from the above link.

2) Now install it onto you system.

3) During installation it may require from you the detail and minimum requirement for the system(operating) that you want to install onto you windows system, Fill it accordingly(if you have a problem filling it than see the cd cover or search on google for minimum requirement.

4) If it does not ask for that or u haven't fill it during installation u can do it after installation as well for that u have to go start-->all program-->virtual pc.

5) On clicking it you will get a screen like shown here.

6) Now click onto setting button shown on that window then you will got another windows as shown below:-


7) Among all setting minimum (ram, harddisk is most). To fill it click a on left side of the image like on clicking memory for setting ram on harddisk 1 for setting harddisk.

8) you can enable or disable any other things that u want virtual box should give to operating system( that u want to install ) for examle in sound setting unchecking enable sound will disallow from using the sound card by the operating system inside the virtual pc.
9) On completing these setting press ok and now insert cd into the cd drive and press ok on the first winow of virtual pc.
10) Now u will be getting a new window(black) which looks similar to your starting boot screen.
11) And that it u can now install operating system in there or even can run live cd.
NOTE:-
Q) How to run virtual pc using iso image?

you can run virtual pc using an iso image for that do all the step as i have said and when black screen came go to the cd menu and press capture iso image in there and give location of iso image and you are done now. you can run virtual pc using iso image.


Q) How to use virtual box?

4) Now in detail tab type name for the machine, os type and type the base memory(ram) required for the os u want to install on it.

5) don't change video memory value and if u want to modify it don't exceed it from you video ram's(not even equal to it) value because your operating system out side the virtual box also need some amount of video ram to display things.

6) And leave rest of the things as it is.(you can enable or disable things like cd rom or writer for that go to cd/dvd rom option.

7) Now you have done doing setting you can now start it by pressing start in first window of virtual box with green arrow.

NOTE:- like virtual pc here you can also use iso image instead of cd or dvd for that go to cd/dvd rom press iso image and link your iso image. and press start.

8) Now you will get the black screen which you will find when every time u start your computer.

9) And that's all you have done running virtual box.


NOTE:- virtualization create another machine onto your computer with different configuration according to os need.

tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe"

here,
  • tasklist: it is used to display the program under task manager
    arguments:-
    • svc: this argument is used to see services running behind the process.

now u can change the process to be run at startup from there.
