Repairing Windows XP in Eight Commands

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\CONFIG\\SYSTEM

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup
using the original Setup CD-ROM.

Select ‘R’ at the first screen to start repair.

Which renders your PC inaccessible from the standard boot procedures of Windows XP. You try safe mode, to no avail. You’re particularly savvy and try issuing the FIXBOOT and FIXMBR commands in the Windows recovery console, but after each reboot, you’re merely greeted with the same obnoxious and terrifying blue screen of death that’s preventing you from accessing your precious data.

Perhaps you’ve also seen these error screens:

Windows NT could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt:

X:\\WINNT\\System32\\Ntoskrnl.exe
_________________

Windows NT could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt:

X:\\WINNT\\System32\\HAL.dll

Password Hacking

Password cracking is the process of recovering secret passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system. A common approach is to repeatedly try guesses for the password.


Most passwords can be cracked by using following techniques :

1) Hashing :- 

Here we will refer to the one way function (which may be either an encryption function or cryptographic hash) employed as a hash and its output as a hashed password.
If a system uses a reversible function to obscure stored passwords, exploiting that weakness can recover even 'well-chosen' passwords.
One example is the LM hash that Microsoft Windows uses by default to store user passwords that are less than 15 characters in length.
LM hash breaks the password into two 7-character fields which are then hashed separately, allowing each half to be attacked separately.

Hash functions like SHA-512, SHA-1, and MD5 are considered impossible to invert when used correctly.

How Firewalls Work

If you have been using Internet on a regular basis or working in a large company and surf the Internet while you are at work, you must have surely come across the term firewall.

You might have also heard of people saying “firewalls protect their computer from web attacks and hackers” or “a certain website has been blocked by firewall in their work place”. If you have ever wondered to know what exactly is this firewall and how it works, here we go. In this post I will try to explain “How firewalls work” in a layman’s terms.

How Firewalls Work?

Firewalls are basically a barrier between your computer (or a network) and the Internet (outside world). A firewall can be simply compared to a security guard who stands at the entrance of your house and filters the visitors coming to your place. He may allow some visitors to enter while denying others whom he suspects of being intruders. Similarly a firewall is a software program or a hardware device that filters the information (packets) coming through the Internet to your personal computer or a computer network.

What is a Domain Name System?

A “Domain Name System” or “Domain Name Service” is a computer network protocol whose job is to map a user friendly domain name such as “hacking.com” to it’s corresponding IP address like “173.245.61.120″.

Your mouse may actually be a RAT in disguise

Security researchers have discovered a Trojan that attaches its malicious code to routines normally used only to control the inputs from mouse clicks.

The tactic is designed to smuggle malicious code past automated threat analysis systems. During such procedures there's no user input and certainly no mouse moving and clicking. The malicious code is designed to remain inactive unless the mouse itself is in use, giving a fair chance that the RAT (remote access Trojan) will remain undetected.

The growing volume of malware means automated threat analysis systems are increasingly important. Only the more unusual analysis work gets passed on to human analysts. Even if the mouse-attached RAT gets caught out at this stage it still gains extra longevity. The development means that anti-virus firms will probably need to include a virtual mouse clicker and nudger in their automated analysis routines.

The sneaky mouse-hogging malware was detected by security researchers at Symantec. The security giant has also come across strains of malware that use "sleep mode" to evade dynamic analysis systems.


A detailed write-up of both (unnamed) threats can be found in a blog post here

Decrease The Shutdown Time In Windows

Whenever you give the shutdown command in your Windows PC, it forwards the request to all the running services. It waits before it tells you if any of the service did not respond to the shutdown request (waits for 12 seconds in Windows 7 and 6 seconds in Windows 8). You can then force stop them or wait for them to respond. But if you have many services running, then 12 seconds for each service is much time to wait for.

What is Steganography?

What is Steganography?

Before coming to the point let me tell you its history.
You might have seen in old chinese movies that the monks used to safeguard secrets by hiding those secrets on their body parts so that no one else can see them but them.

This concept was developed further and it was implemented in computers as well.

This is called Steganography.

Now coming to its implementation in Computers.

By the use of Steganography you can Hide one type of file behind other keeping the format of file same.
I personally find it very useful because it helps me hide my important information easily.

So do you want to try Steganography on your machine ?

Lets get started.

NOTE:- The files and folder names I am going to use are just for reference. You may use different if you want to. But for beginning I would suggest to follow along. Later on you can try it with different file names.

Setup:-

1) Create a new folder named test in any drive (say C: Drive)

2) In  the test folderCreate a text file in it named – hi.txt

3) Copy any default windows picture from my pictures say – desert.jpg in the test folder

Now the game begins.

Type anything you want to in the  Text file and make its font big so that its easily readable

1) Open command prompt

2) Open the test folder.
      You may use the following commands to do that

    2.1)   C:
    2.2)   cd test

3) Now use the following command

      COPY /B desert.jpg+hi.txt new.jpg
       ie… the syntax is
      Copy /B name of file in which you want to embedded the content+ name of file which you want to embedded name of new file

And that’s it. You are done.

Open the test folder and you will see a new image named new.jpg.

When you preview it you will see the normal image but now right click it and open the image with notepad. At the end of the file you can see the text that you wrote in the document.

Well this was just the beginning.

Now the more interesting use of it.

If you want to bind rar files to images. You can do that as well.
(You may put anything you want in the rar file)..

I am sure this was something new for most of you out here..;-)
