Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 0 Comments

DOWNLOAD: IObit's new WinMetro application, you can now bring the Metro UI to older versions of Windows such as Windows 7, Vista and XP. The app offers the popular Metro tiles such as weather, calendar, news, stocks, and frequently used programs. The Charms bar is also available by moving the mouse to the right side of the screen, which will appear automatically.



The search button allows users to navigate the entire computer.



WinMetro also gives users the option to boot to the Metro Start Screen directly.


With that being said, the application does not provide the full functionality of the Metro UI, but it's still a fun way to look cool and not have to pay for a Windows 8 upgrade.

How to bypass the password login screen in windows xp,7,8

Friday, May 10, 2013 - 0 Comments

It's good to password-protect your PC to make sure that your personal files, folders, and important documents are safe and can't be modified without your permission. Though, entering the password all of the time before using your computer might frustrate you.
Here, you will be find an easy way to remove passwords in such a way that Windows will automatically get to the desktop without asking you to enter the system password. Though, you can restore it back whenever you feel that your system is not safe anymore.

How to Bypass Password Login

  1. Start typing "netplwiz" (without quotes) in the Windows 8 start screen and hit enter to launch the "User Accounts" control panel (on older versions of Windows, click "User Accounts Control Panel").

  1. Enter your password if prompted.
  2. In the window that opens, uncheck the box stating "Users must enter a username and passwords to use this computer" and click OK (on older versions of windows, first double-click the account you wish to automatically log in).
  1. Enter and reenter the existing account password(s) if you're asked.
That's it. From now on, you will not see the password screen anymore.
However, If you don't want to use this feature anymore and are interested in getting your old Windows 8 password screen back, you can restore it by following the above steps—except the 3rd one where you need to select the check box, which we have de-selected previously.
You can follow the same steps to bypass password screen on previous version of Windows too, not just Windows 8.

Beware of social engineering phishing attacks on facebook

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 0 Comments

Phishing attacks are one of the most common scams on Facebook. The goal of these scams is to obtain your Facebook user name and password. If successful, the scammers can totally take over your Facebook account and use it to spread more spam and scams to your friends. They can also mine everyone in your network for data they can later use for identity theft or other socially engineered attacks.
Here are some examples of popular phishing schemes on Facebook:
  1. Facebook Lottery – You’re likely to receive an email stating you’ve won a sum of money. These can also be advanced fee scams.
  2. Confirm Your Account – Any messages asking you to confirm your account should be viewed with extreme suspicion. If you receive an email like this, don’t follow any links. A better option is to log in to Facebook directly.
  3. Violated a Policy – Hacked accounts often send messages posing as ‘Facebook Security.’ If you encounter one of these scams, you’ll notice that Facebook Security will be spelled with non-traditional characters. This is done to bypass Facebook’s filters. 
  4. Photos & Videos - The scammers attempt to capitalize on our curious nature. You will receive a message from a compromised friend’s account asking you to look at this photo or video. A popular theme is to say the picture is embarrassing or they can’t believe you did that, etc. Other variants of this scam contain files laden with malware.
Most all of these scams direct you to external links to pages designed to look like Facebook. Before logging in to any site, always verify that you are indeed on the main site. Careless and unsuspecting users are often fooled by these tricks.
Below is one example of the photo phishing scheme mentioned above.
do you notice that they were rrecording u lol this is unpleasant lol !!
Other Alternate Messages:
Is this you in this video on facebook, what are you doing LOL? Search on this website for your name
HAHAHAHAHA i can not believe whaat you did in thisss videeo it’s sooo stupid its all overfacebook! Coooopy and Paaaste the url below into your web browser to seeeee , its craazy!Removeee thee Spaces —>
OMG have u seen ur video on here. u should check this out!
Clicking on the link in the scam post will at first direct the user to a Facebook application and then ultimately to a phishing URL:
Scams like this are very common on the Facebook platform. Humans are curious by nature, and the scammers often use this and other emotions to their advantage. Also consider that these messages or updates may come from a friend’s hacked account. Don’t assume any links or messages are legitimate just because they came from a friend. In fact, if you receive them via Facebook chat / message, then there is a good chance that your friend’s account has been compromised. Double check your friends list and remove or block any name that looks suspicious (awkward and non-traditional spellings of Facebook Security, Account Confirmation, etc.)
Never enter your login information when a web page redirects you without first double checking to make sure you are on the legitimate site. A better option is to bookmark Facebook, and only log in from there.

How to download paid android apps for free

Monday, May 6, 2013 - 0 Comments

1) File sharing Websites

The best way to download Android apps for free is through file sharing websites. The file sharing on these websites is done by Android users who download or buy paid apps and upload them in file sharing websites. The best popular file sharing websites are: www.4shared.comwww.mediafire.com and www.filecrop.com. Out of them all 4shared is best and most popular and i will prefer it as it’s the easiest. Steps to download paid app from these websites-
  • Go to any of these websites and type the app name you want to download for free and add the extension of “.apk”. For example if you want to download ADWLauncher EX ( a paid app in Google play), type adw launcher ex .apk and press enter.The results will then be viewed.
  • From the results click the latest uploaded file and download it.
  • Once the .apk file is downloaded, transfer it to your phone with USB cable and install it on your phone.
 Note: You can also download 4shared app from market instead of searching apps in web. 

2) BlackMart Alpha app 

BlackMart Alpha is an Android app itself. To use this app for downloading paid apps for free you need to search for BlackMart Alpha in the above mentioned file sharing sites. Search results will appear. Download this application. Transfer and install it on your smart phone.
  • After installation, open the BlackMart Alpha app. A same design will appear as Android market app on your smart phone.
  • A list of apps will appear in this app. You can also use the search option to search and download a paid app.
  • Search results will appear. The price of the specified or searched app is struck out. Click on download and install it directly on your smart phone for free.
Note: You can download any app but don’t update any app from BlackMart Alpha as there are chances that it might corrupt that app.

3) Paying for app in Android market

The last tip which is most reliable and the best way to download the paid app is by paying for an app in Android market. To use this option you should have a good file explorer app like ASTRO File Manager and ES File Explorer.
  • Install ES File Explorer or ASTRO File Manager.
  • Go to Android market and purchase any app. Within the 15 minutes of trial period you can get the full refund if you cancel the order.
  • The app gets downloaded on your smart phone.
  • Open ES file explorer and click on Options > Manager > App Manager.
  • Go to list of installed apps and press on the app you just purchased and click on backup. The app backup will be made in backup folder of your SD card.
  • Once the backup is made, cancel the order and install it from the backup folder again. Your money will be refunded after you cancel the order.
So these were the best ways to download any apps for free. But my self I am a computer engineer and always advice to follow the right steps to download any app. Just pay for the app in the Android market and enjoy. Developers put a lot of efforts in creating apps and one should respect their efforts and time.

How to use your android phone to control computer remotely

Sunday, May 5, 2013 - 0 Comments

Are you tired of providing on-site tech support for your friends and family? Providing support remotely is an easy way to help them while maintaining your sanity. If you don't have a computer nearby, but have your Android phone you can still help. Here's how:

Computer setup

Step 1:
On the computer you want to remote control, download "TeamViewer QuickSupport" from TeamViewer. The downloaded file is named TeamViewerQS_en.exe. The program is self-contained so it does not need to be installed.

Step 2:
Double-click on the TeamViewerQS_en.exe file to launch TeamViewer on the computer you want to control.

Step 3:
At the main screen, the numeric ID of that system is listed and a numeric password for that session. Make a note of the ID and password as you'll need that information later.

Step 4:
If you're setting this up on someone else's computer, you may want to create a shortcut for them or place the file on their desktop so they can find it more easily when they need your help. Once you've connected to the computer, a small window with a session list will pop up in the lower right-hand corner.
TeamViewer session list.

Android setup

Step 1:
On your Android phone, install TeamViewer from the Android Market and launch it. In the first box, enter the ID of the "partner" computer. In the second box, enter the password and tap the "Connected to partner" button.

 Step 2:
Once connected, you'll see gesture control instructions.
 

 Step 3:
Close the instruction screen to see the desktop of the remote computer.
TeamViewer connected
.

You've got control! Now you can help your in-law's figure out how to use Netflix streaming or add an RSS feed to Google Reader. You can help someone with just about anything he or she might need help with, without having to physically be there. You can use the mouse, type, print, and even reboot the remote computer.

The Android version of TeamViewer does have a few limitations, compared with the computer version. The Android version does not support local audio, text chat ,video chat, or file transfers.

Get all the passwords on LAN

Here is a great tutorial of how to know the passwords on LAN ..... This trick is very efficient . You can know all the passwords on the lan using this . The software CAIN AND ABEL is necessary for that.

Download from this link : download CAIN AND ABEL

-=Step One=-

You want to activate "Sniffer" by activating the button next to the "Open" icon. You will also want to turn on APR which stands for APR Poison Routing. (Don't take POISON literally, It will not actually harm the computer you are piggybacking on)

-=Step Two=-

Switch your active/current tab to "Sniffer," after doing so right click in the middle of the blank fields and click on "Scan MAC Addresses" and make sure "All hosts in my subnet" is clicked with a dot in the circle. You should see several hosts pop up, if they did then you are doing everything correctly so far.

-=Step Three=-

At the bottom of Cain and Abel, you will see a tab called "APR," make that your active/current tab you are viewing under the "Sniffer" tab. Now click on the top white blank box in the "APR" subtab, and go up top and click on the "Add" button. Click on what ever you Routers IP is. Then click the IP of the target computer or whatever you want to piggyback on. Then press OK.

-=Step Four=-

After pressing OK you should see a line in the top box and it will either say IDLE or POISONING. If it says IDLE just give it a couple of seconds for it to start the poisoning. If it is POISONING go down to the bottom again and find "Passwords," make that your current/active subtab. Now passwords and usernames should be popping up under any of the select categories, mine are usually HTTP passwords but, yours might be different.

How to detect and block an ARP spoofing 

attack on a LAN

ARP poisoning attacks are the most dangerous MITM attacks when working on a LAN. The most hazardous thing about this attack is that they go unnoticed for a very long time or in some cases they would never be detected if not checked for. No naive internet user is gonna check if he is being poisoned. This would go undetected in a trusted environment like an office or at college. Well then it is the responsibility of the admins to protect their clients from attack.
Detecting an ARP Spoofing attack
Well detecting an ARP attack is fairly easy assuming that the malware responds to standard ARP requests. Here's how you go about detecting a possible attack.

1. Start a network capture using a tool such as tcpdump or Wireshark.
2. Generate some traffic on your machine and then stop the capture.
3. Now analyze the traffic. You don't have to be an expert to do this. Check if you are getting ARP requests or responses from multiple addresses.

If you are getting ARP traffic from sources other than your default gateway there is possibly an eavesdropper. This eavesdropper could also modify what you recieve. A very good application of MITM is 'login credentials stealing', especially from SSL secured websites. Tools such as Ettercap and Cain & Abel can make this possible even for a script kiddie.

This was about detecting an MITM, but there is no manual way to block an MITM, other than bashing up the intruder sitting at the poisoning host machine.

Blocking an ARP Spoofing Attack:

ArpON (Arp handler inspectiON) is a portable handler daemon that make Arp secure in order to avoid Arp Spoofing/Poisoning & co.

This is possible using two kinds of anti Arp Poisoning techniques, the first is based on SARPI or "Static Arp Inspection", the second on DARPI or "Dynamic Arp Inspection" approach.

Keep in mind other common tools fighting ARP poisoning usually limit their activity only to point out the problem instead of blocking it, ArpON does it using SARPI and DARPI policies. Finally you can use ArpON to pentest some switched/hubbed LAN with/without DHCP protocol, in fact you can disable the daemon in order to use the tools to poison the ARP Cache.
