ok I start this section today (2/21/2010). This is a news section related to only technology.

TCS Website Hacked, Domain Name Up For Sale
Indian software giant Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS) has witnessed the hijacking of its official website www.tcs.com. The hackers not only attacked the website but also allegedly changed its domain name and put it up for sale!

The hackers posted a "For Sale" message on the site, written both in French and English. The hack is believed to be a DNS Redirect rather than a full-fledged one. This is similar to the one that rocked Twitter last year

This attack raises a lot of questions on the Indian IT industry and the overall Internet security in the country. If top IT firms cannot create a hacker-proof website, what more can we say?

However, the website has now been restored and is working fine.

Hide your Secret files behind JPEG image

2009-11-24T10:23:00.000-08:00

Step 1>Create a folder anywhere in your PC e.g. C:\newfolder and keep all the files you want to hide as well as the jpg image you will use to keep that files in.

Step 2> Just select all the files you want to hide,and by right clicking on them select the option of add them to a compressed ZIP or RAR file.Only compress the files you want to hide,not the jpg image.Lets name it as “Secret.rar”.

you’ll see that there is those files ,the jpg image and a compressed archive named Secret.rar inside the folder newfolder.

hide-files-behind-image
Step 3> Now i will tell you how to make the trick.Click on Start menu, click Run and type “cmd” (without the inverted commas),press enter and you will see the command prompt window has been opened.Type cd\ to get into the root directory and again type cd followed by the folder’s name you want to hide i.e. “cd newfolder”.Now you are inside the directory C:\newfolder>.

Step 4> Suppose the jpg image have name of “Image.jpg”.Type the following line

copy /b Image.jpg + Secret.rar Image.jpg

(Omit the quotes) and press enter.Be sure that the compressed file has the extension of .ZIP or .RAR.As i have heard about some problems people faced while using WinZIP, i recommend you to use WinRAR instead of WinZIP.

That’s all you have to do.Now you have a jpg image with your secret files inside it.If you check the picture size you will see it has been increased by same size that was of the compressed archive.Now you can the delete the .RAR file and the file1 and file2.

Just right click on the file and chose open with WinRar.Then you can see the file you hide behind the picture.Another way to access the hidden file is that just change the extension of the file to .RAR and open the file using WinRar and then extract them.

Tips to Improve Email Privacy

2009-09-08T21:09:00.000-07:00

Many websites ask for your email address when you shop online, download a free software etc. But do you know that this has a chance of affecting your email privacy through Spam emails?

Though most websites don’t use spamming as an email marketing strategy, there are a few that use junk emails that don’t care about anti-Spam laws. Here are some tips to maintain your email privacy from such threats.
Before submitting your email address you need to check the reputation of the company. Reputed websites would normally follow the right email practices to ensure your email privacy. Such companies will never want to loose their hard earned reputation by getting blammed for spamming.

See whether the websites provides email privacy statements. You need to go through these statement in detail, and know about the kind of emails that will be sent to you, how often etc. Based on this you can decide on whether you need such emails. You don’t want to give your email address to some fraud company that is thinking about handing over your email address to hundreds of other websites.

Finally, check whether the website really respects your privacy. Often you will find some text like “I agree to receive email” that comes with a check box. You can agree to receive emails by checking the check box. If the check box is already checked, it is just a good indication that the website doesn’t respect your privacy. So watch out!

How to Protect an Email Account from SPAM

2009-09-08T21:04:00.000-07:00

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 Source gohacking.

Save youtube videos directly from Firefox3 cache

2009-01-13T02:38:00.000-08:00

Open the youtube video page in firefox 3. Allow the video to play once.

Now the video is finished playing. Open a new tab in firefox 3. In the location bar (address bar) type

about:cache

and press enter. A new page will load. In the page see the heading

Disk cache device

Under that there is “Cache Directory”. There will be a long address similar to one shown below

C:\Documents and Settings\usrname\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abcd123h.default\Cache

Copy the full address (You must copy the cache link address from your computer. The above address is just to show and make you understand). Now open “My Computer”. In the address bar paste the already copied long address.

A folder will open. This folder contains the youtube video file in the form of cache. Note that the video file will be big in size. Now open VLC Media player or any other flv player. Drag and drop the bigger cache file in the media player. The file that plays the video is your video file. Copy and paste it in desktop. Rename the file to yourvideo1.flv (or any other name of your choice with flv extension).

Now you have saved the youtube video right from your firefox 3 cache rather than downloading it again.

You can watch the saved video while offline.

Restore Task Manager, Regedit and Folder Options Disabled by Virus

2009-01-13T02:11:00.000-08:00

Let's face it. All of us have been infected by virus before. Even if you have anti-virus installed, you can still be infected by a new or custom virus that is not recognized by your anti-virus. Sometimes after removing the virus completely from our system, you'll face new problems such as you can no longer bring up Windows Task Manager from CTRL+ALT+DEL. You get the error message saying "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator"....

You think that it's easy to fix this problem by going to Registry Editor but you can't! You get the error message "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator".

Folder Options and even Show Hidden Files & Folder is disabled! How frustrating! Don't worry, here's how to restore your Windows Task Manager, Registry Editor, Folder Options and Show hidden files & folders.

This problem is most commonly caused by a virus called "Brontok". Brontok virus will make some changes to the system restrictions in order to hide itself from easy detection and also from easy cleaning.

Here's a free tool called Remove Restrictions Tool (RRT) which is able to re-enables all what the virus had previously disabled, and gives you back the control over your own computer.

Remove Restrictions Tool is able to re-enable:
- Registry Tools (regedit)
- Ctrl+Alt+Del
- Folder Options
- Show Hidden Files

Small and easy to use. Make sure you boot in to Safe Mode to use Remove Restrictions Tool (RRT). Just click on the buttons and it'll do it's job.

Remove virus manually

2008-08-19T04:04:00.000-07:00

As we all know that most of the viruses comes from pen-drive. These viruses have common symptoms like they are hidden and cannot remove by antivirus. So there are some methods by which you can remove those viruses.As we know that these pendrive viruses have autorun file which makes to run the virus(e.g - NEWFOLDER.EXE, SYSTEM.EXE etc)automatically.

Every file or folder having three attributes and they are - hidden, system and read.
All viruses have these attributes combined, that's why when you click on "show hidden files and folders" they will still in hidden mode.

You can change the attributes, I will discuss it later.

First of all we have to remember some precautions- like
Dont try to open the pendrive directly.
Try to disable autorun for removable storage media.
When you insert the pendrive in any port just keep pressing the right shift key from your keyboard so that pendrive won't run automatically.

Then try to search autorun.exe in pendrive(without open it) via command prompt.
At command prompt type these lines :
c:\>K:
k:\>attrib -s -h
(here you will see the autorunfile then just del it)
k:\>del autorun.exe

k:\>attrib -s -h
(if still autorun.exe file is in your pendrive then apply this method in safe mode)

You can delete some viruses like newfolder.exe and system.exe via this method. Apply this method in safe mode. There are come tools also to remove these viruses and autorun file You can download these tools from here CLICkHERE
ThankYou

Tips n Tricks

2008-03-05T07:42:00.000-08:00

Hiding your Folders:

Method 1 (Folders Only)

Right click on any folder and rename.
Switch off numlock.
Hold the left alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.
Click anywhere and the name field on the folder will be blank.
Now go to its properties and change its icon to a blank one.

The Folder will become invisible. Incase of files you can only give a blank name field and not icon.

Method 2 (Files and Folders)

This method involves use of some basic programming in .bat

OPEN NOTEPAD AND TYPE THE GIVEN LINES

Hide Folders

attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music"

2. Hide Files

attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music\Lonely.mp3"

3. Hide All FILES Inside a Folder

attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music\*.*"

Save the file as filename.bat and run it to hide whatever you want to.

By replacing the '+' with '-' you can reverse this.
The attrib command refers to attributes.
h, r, s denote hidden ,read-only, and system attributes respectively.
"*.*" command will apply to all FILES (NOT FOLDERS) inside the specified folder .

Folder Lock without any S/W
Many people have been looking for an alternative way to lock folders without the use of any alternative software. So, here you go.

Open Notepad and copy the below code and save as locker.bat. Please don't forget to change your password in the code it's shown the place where to type your password.
Now double click on locker .bat
First time start, it will create folder with Locker automatically for u. After creation of the Locker folder, place the contents u want to lock inside the Locker Folder and run locker.bat again. The Locker folder disappears from the window. To make the folder available again, double click the locker.bat and enter the password. And you get your folder back!

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

Beware of HACKERS

2008-01-07T12:39:00.000-08:00

Did you know that a hacker could be watching you right at this very moment, reading
exactly what you are reading right now, and you didn't even know they were there or how t
hey got in?
A hacker can get into your bank account if you save your password on your PC. They can
"break" your password using commonly available programs and then change your passwords
to your banking accounts and PC effectively locking you out. But they don't even need to
"break" your password, if they load the right program on your PC.

They can, and do ...
..steal and delete files,
..load dangerous programs onto your PC,
..involve you in computer crimes.

True story:
A woman gets up in the middle of the night and notices her PC operating all by itself,
an invisible hand is controlling her mouse and opening up applications. Thinking that her
PC is malfunctioning, she calls the PC manufacturer the next day. Of course, now, the
PC is behaving normally. She finds that she has been infected with a commonly available
trojan, and she had witnessed the hacker rummaging through her system.

These are the 5 steps to a successful "hack".

1. Hackers look for easy targets and find out information about them and their systems.

2. Breaking into your system.

3. Getting authority to control everything on your system.

4. Hiding the evidence of their break-in.

5. They load programs and passwords on your PC to give them easy access in the future.

Scoping Their Target

Every computer that connects to the Internet is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address.
This is very similar to a telephone number in many ways. If you have a DSL connection
or cable modem connection your IP address stays the same and is "always on". If you
have a "dial-up" account, then your IP address is dynamic (it changes each time you connect),
and your ISP (Internet Service Provider) cuts you off after a certain amount of time of
inactivity.

Dial-up accounts are less hacker friendly because your IP address changes each time you
are on. This makes it impossible for the hacker to make repeat visits unless he has tricked
you into loading a program on your PC that tells him when you are on-line and gives him
your current IP address.

"Always on" connections are just that, always connected and open for attack. The hacker
can take his time getting to know your system and it's weaknesses, searching until he finds
a way in. Your only safety is in the vast numbers of open, unprotected systems.

There are many ways for the hacker to find out what your IP address is. Some of the more
common methods are through chat rooms, by looking up domain names on a domain name
registrar site, or by running programs that can create a log of all valid addresses.

Chat rooms are the easiest way for hackers to find out your IP address. All they have to do
is right click on your chat id and they have your IP address. With your IP address in hand t
hey can start testing your system for weaknesses.

You would be amazed at what information is available from a domain name registrar like
Network Solutions. Anyone can type in the name of a domain, for example, Yahoo.com,
and find out employee names, phone numbers, fax numbers, physical addresses and IP
addresses.

Breaking In

A hacker wants to know your IP address and what operating system you are running.
Most home PCs run Windows, so home PC hacking is easy because there are many known
Window "bugs" that can be taken advantage of. Most home users have never worried
about computer security.

Hackers look for commonly know system weaknesses (bugs or holes in software).
The operating system, like Windows, has bugs, as do other software like browsers, such as
Microsoft's Internet Explorer. They scan your open ports looking for a running program
that they can take advantage of. Scanning is like a burglar who checks all the doors and
windows of your house to see if any are unlocked.

Windows 95 and 98 often have File and Print Sharing option on. This allows someone to
access your hard drive and load any program they want on your hard drive or delete or
change any file they want on your PC. (the next page, Cyber Defense will show you how
to turn this off). This access makes it very easy for a hacker to use your PC as his own.

Hackers often use trojans to break into and control home computers.

One of the most famous hackers, Kevin Metnick, used social engineering to obtain needed
information to break into systems. Social engineering is where a person wants to find out
information about you, so they call you and trick you into to telling them what they want
to know. They then use that information to break into your or your company's system.

Basically, hackers don't need to know much of anything about you to get into your system
. They are counting on the public being uninformed and use that lack of knowledge to
gain access to many computers.

Getting Total Control

You may be thinking...
"I don't have to worry, my PC is password protected."
Not true!

PCs used at home did not need a lot of security features before the Internet. They were
designed for convenience, not security. Windows 95 and 98 are very insecure. It takes
about 10 seconds to bypass any password you have to "lock out" other people from your
home PC. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because you have password protected
your PC, that it is safe. IT IS NOT SAFE!

Hackers use specialized programs to "crack" passwords. Your password at work or to
your bank account can give a hacker much greater control over your life or company than
you realize. Choose your password carefully. Please take the time now to read about how
hackers "crack" passwords and how to create a good password."

Disposing of the evidence
One way that hackers camouflage their dirty work is by changing the name of their programs
to look like program names of legitimate system programs. Or they will create a hidden
folder to keep all their programs in.

What is left behind

The most dangerous trojan is a "back-door" trojan. A trojan horse program is a way of
tricking you to load a program onto your PC that gives a hacker access to your computer.

The name comes from the legend of Troy. Ulysses, enemy of the Trojans, leaves a wooden
Trojan horse outside the gates of Troy. The Trojans believing that it is a sacrifice to the
gods, bring it inside the walls of the city. What they did not know was that inside the belly
of the trojan horse were Greek soldiers. At night, the Greek soldiers snuck out and opened
the gates of Troy to the Greek army who then defeated the Trojans.

Software trojans are more clever, often arriving from friends who do not know what is in
the cute little program that sings Merry Christmas to you. While you are enjoying the
show, a nasty little trojan program could be loaded.

A "back door" trojan gives hackers complete access and control over your PC. They can s
ee your screen, just as if they were sitting in front of it. They can watch every move you
make with your mouse, every word you type, like a spy standing over your shoulder. And
you will have no idea that they are there. These programs run in stealth mode, silent and
deadly.

"Back door" programs are commonly available. They can be tools used to administer remote
systems and are used on a daily basis in a legitimate way by system administrators.

When your PC asks you if you would like to save your password to your bank account or
other important accounts, SAY NO! This little convenience of not having to remember
and type in your password might give a hacker complete access to your bank account.

More often than not, the hacker is not interested in you or your system. He just wants to
control your PC to hack into much larger, profitable, head-line creating sites, like
government, bank, and popular sites.

One technique hackers use to attack web sites is called "denial of service attack". The
hacker might send signal to all the PCs he has infected with specialized software. The
software, which could be running on hundreds of PCs, simultaneously sends problem
messages to the target web server and ties up all it's connections so no one new can
connect, or crashes the web server, or overloads the mail server with junk mail.
The effect is that legitimate customers can no longer access a service or web site. eThis can
cost companies millions of dollars.
