Zip Password Cracker Filed under ( Downloads, How To, Tools )

Hii, today I'm introducing you with the Ultimate Zip Cracker. This is a Password Cracking Software. It will help you decrypt any password protected zipped files. 

What actually it does is, it searches 4 the password in the zipped or compressed file. It also possess Brute Force Attacking. Its really a nice application. It has many features. You can find about it more below, then decide whether you must download it or not....

The Ultimate ZIP Cracker is designed for recovering lost passwords from many popular file types:

    * MS-Word documents (*.DOC), Office 97-2003.
    * MS-Excel documents (*.XLS), Office 97-2003.
    * ZIP archives created by PKZIP, WinZip or by any compatible software.
    * ARJ archives created by ARJ, WinArj or by any compatible software.

The program offers the following search methods:

    * Password Wizard provides easy step-by-step password recovery.
    * Brute Force Attack will test all possible passwords.
    * Smart Search will test all "pronounceable" passwords.
    * Dictionary Search can use a built-in or external dictionary.
    * Date search will apply more than 5,000 date formats to a given date range.
    * Customized search will use your own search template.
    * Guaranteed decryption method will decrypt your .DOC or .XLS file regardless of password used. Extraordinarily fast on Pentium 4, takes only few days to decrypt!
    * Plaintext attack will decrypt your whole encrypted .ZIP file if you have another unencrypted ZIP file (called plaintext file), which contains at least one file from the encrypted archive.

New features:

    * Improved a support for some Office 95 documents.
    * Added a support for latest multicore processors.
    * Fixed some thread priority issues.
    * Office XP recovery speed is significantly improved.
    * A Pentium IV optimization code is added.
    * A support for multiple processors is added for Guaranteed Decryption method.

Works much faster if you have several CPUs (but don't expect any extra performance with just a Hyper-Threading P4).
    * A support for older ZIP files is added.
    * User interface is improved.
    * An additional optimization allows better performance.
    * A support for VBA passwords in Excel and Word files is added.
    * The Plaintext attack on ZIP files is added.
    * The program user interface is significantly improved.
    * The Dictionary search - compositions method is removed. This method is superseded by the Customized search method which is much more flexible.

System requirements: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, Pentium class processor is preferred.

See here 4 more details...

I have provided the download option below. If you need it, then you r free to use it. Just Download, Extract it with WinRar, then you will find a setup file. Install it then use the crack file to make it full version.

Rediff Mail Fake Login (Phisher) Filed under ( Hacks, Phishing )

The idea of posting Rediff Fake Login Page article was the result of a request by Sasie, So i thought of about this article. Here i have made a Fake Login Page 4 Rediff Mail. I can't Guarantee this because, Rediff uses a different method for Signing in. So its a little bit difficult for retrieving the Pass of your victim. So wait 4 some time till i post a new and better one, till then you can use this one.

Hope you may know how to phish. If you don't, read this Phishing Tutorial Article.

Download the Rediff Phisher files from below, extract it using WinRar only, then upload the files - rediffstatus.html and redifflogin.php to your Web-host (See Here 4 Some Free web-hosting services).

Tip: You can rename rediffstatus to whatever you want, but don't edit redifflogin. Also see the Hotmail Hacking Techniques 4 some help. 

But if this doesn't work work 4 you, try this article on How To Sniff or Steal Password by another Computer.

Creating Bootable Vista / Windows 7 USB Flash Drive Filed under ( Bootable pen drive, vista, Windows 7 )

It surprised me to find that there are very few dead-simple guides to creating a bootable USB thumb/pen/flash drive for a Vista and/or Windows 7 installation.  I cobbled together the following from VistaPCGuy and another source I don’t remember right now.
This will walk through the steps to create a bootable USB flash drive for the purpose of installing a Vista or Windows 7 OS.  These instructions assume that you have a computer with Windows Vista installed on it.

Required:

• USB Flash Drive (4GB+)
• Microsoft OS Disk (Vista / Windows 7)
• A computer running Vista / Windows 7

Step 1: Format the Drive
The steps here are to use the command line to format the disk properly using the diskpart utility. [Be warned: this will erase everything on your drive. Be careful.]

1. Plug in your USB Flash Drive
2. Open a command prompt as administrator (Right click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator”
3. Find the drive number of your USB Drive by typing the following into the Command Prompt window:
   diskpart
   list disk
   The number of your USB drive will listed. You’ll need this for the next step.  I’ll assume that the USB flash drive is disk 1.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Format the drive by typing the next instructions into the same window. Replace the number “1” with the number of your disk below.
   select disk 1
   clean
   create partition primary
   select partition 1
   active
   format fs=NTFS
   assign
   exit
   When that is done you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable.

Step 2: Make the Drive Bootable
Next we’ll use the bootsect utility that comes on the Vista or Windows 7 disk to make the flash drive bootable.  In the same command window that you were using in Step 1:

1. Insert your Windows Vista / 7 DVD into your drive.
2. Change directory to the DVD’s boot directory where bootsect lives:
   d:
   cd d:\boot
3. Use bootsect to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Vista/7 image. I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the computer:
   bootsect /nt60 g:
4. You can now close the command prompt window, we’re done here.

Step 3: Copy the installation DVD to the USB drive
The easiest way is to use Windows explorer to copy all of the files on your DVD on to the formatted flash drive.  After you’ve copied all of the files the disk you are ready to go.
Step 4: Set your BIOS to boot from USB
This is where you’re on your own since every computer is different. Most BIOS’s allow you to hit a key at boot and select a boot option.
I used these instructions to get my new Dell Mini 9 laptop loaded with Windows 7 (the PDC bits).  HTH.

Hotmail Hacking Techniques Filed under ( Hacks, Security Breakouts )

Some ways to hack Hotmail (Powerful free e-mail with security from Microsoft - Windows Live Hotmail, a best in class e-mail...), well leave that boring Shit .. lets talk about Hacking ;) some of you may know, some of you may don't.

Note: All this only 4 education purposes and to avoid you being hacked by someone else. Me or My blog won't be responsible for any false impressions. :P

Brute force hacking :

* Use telnet to connect to port 110 (Hotmail´s POP-server)

* Type USER and then the victim´s username

* Type PASS and then the guess a password

* Repeat that until U have found the correct password.

This is called brute force hacking and it requires patience. It´s better than trying to guess the victims password on Hotmail homepage only because it´s faster.

The Best way :

* Get the username of your victim (It usually stands in the address-field)

* Then type " www.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/start/victimsusernamehere "

* You are in!

This hack only work if you are on the same network or computer as the victim and if he don´t log out.

Another (Phishing):

* Go to hotmail´s homepage (www.hotmail.com)

* Copy the source code.

* Make a new html file with the same code .. but change method=post to method=enter

* "view" the page

* Change the address to www.hotmail.com/ (don´t press enter!)

* Make the victim type in his username and password

* Look in the address-field. There you´ll see ...password: something...

This is the way I use, because it lets you know the password.

(If he exits the browser U can see the password in the History folder :D )

Hotmail´s sysops have changed the "system" so that the victim may log out even if U are inside his/her account. So don´t waste yur time :P

The simple trick :

This is pretty easy to do once you have got the hang of it. If you are a beginner, I wouldn't make this your first attempt at hacking. When you need to do is use a port surfer and surf over to port 80. While there, you have to try and mail the user that you want the password from. It is best to mail them using the words "We" and "Here at Hotmail..." Most stupids fall for this and end up giving out their password. There is another way to also, you can get an anonymous mailer, and make a fake address as 'staff@hotmail.com'. But you have to change the reply address to go to a different address like user@host.com. The person that you are trying to get the pass from MUST respond to that letter for the mail to be forwarded to you. Have text like "Please reply to this letter with the subject "PASSWORD" and underneath please include your user name and password. If you have trouble Logging in withing the next few days, this is only because we are updating our mail servers but no need to worry, your mail is important to us and so it will still be there. Even though the server may be down

for an hour. From the staff at Hotmail, Thank You."

5 Reasons Why PCs Crash Filed under ( How To, windows xp )

Have you suffered from PC Crash ? If you don't know what it is, then read this article properly and know the 5 Reasons why PCs Crash........

Have you seen this anywhere ?

Thats the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Windows will be familiar with this. If you too have been struck by this, then below are the 5 reasons to avoid you PC being crashed.

1. Hardware Conflict

The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an Interrupt Request Channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device.

4 eg, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.

If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, here a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager

Often if a device has a problem a yellow '!' appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.

Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as 'IRQ holder for PCI steering'. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.

Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is DriverGuide. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty, leave it to the experts).

The problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.

2. Bad RAM

RAM (Random-Access Memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying "Fatal Exception Error". A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.

But a fatal error caused by Ram might be caused by a mismatch of chips. For example, mixing 70-nanosecond (70ns) Ram with 60ns Ram will usually force the computer to run all the Ram at the slower speed. This will often crash the machine if the Ram is overworked.

One way around this problem is to enter the BIOS settings and increase the wait state of the Ram. This can make it more stable. Another way to troubleshoot a suspected Ram problem is to rearrange the Ram chips on the motherboard, or take some of them out. Then try to repeat the circumstances that caused the crash. When handling Ram try not to touch the gold connections, as they can be easily damaged.

Parity error messages also refer to Ram. Modern Ram chips are either parity (ECC) or non parity (non-ECC). It is best not to mix the two types, as this can be a cause of trouble.

EMM386 error messages refer to memory problems but may not be connected to bad Ram. This may be due to free memory problems often linked to old Dos-based programmes.

3. BIOS settings

Every motherboard is supplied with a range of chipset settings that are decided in the factory. A common way to access these settings is to press/hold the F2/delete button during the first few seconds while boot-up.

Once inside the BIOS, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to write down on a piece of paper all the settings that appear on the screen. That way, if you change something and the computer becomes more unstable, you will know what settings to come back to previous working level.

A common BIOS error concerns the CAS latency. This refers to the Ram. Older EDO (extended data out) Ram has a CAS latency of 3. Newer SDRam has a CAS latency of 2. Setting the wrong figure can cause the Ram to lock up and freeze the computer's display.

Windows is better at allocating IRQ numbers than any BIOS. If possible set the IRQ numbers to Auto in the BIOS. This will allow Windows to allocate the IRQ numbers (make sure the BIOS setting for Plug and Play OS is switched to 'yes' to allow Windows to do this).

4. Hard Disk Drives

After a few weeks, the information on a hard disk drive starts to become piecemeal or fragmented. It is a good idea to defragment the hard disk every week or so, to prevent the disk from causing a screen freeze.

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Disk Defragmenter

This will start the procedure. You will be unable to write data to the hard drive (to save it) while the disk is defragmenting, so it is a good idea to schedule the procedure for a period of inactivity using the Task Scheduler.

Some lockups and screen freezes caused by hard disk problems can be solved by reducing the read-ahead optimisation. This can be adjusted by going to

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System Icon --> Performance --> File System --> Hard Disk

Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some cleaning on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents in it (not the folder) can free a lot of space.

Empty the Recycle Bin every week to free more space. Hard disk drives should be scanned every week for errors or bad sectors.

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> ScanDisk

Otherwise assign the Task Scheduler to perform this operation at night when the computer is not in use.

5. Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors

Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems. These can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display.

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings

Here you should slide the screen area bar to the left. Take a look at the color settings on the left of that window. For most desktops, high color 16-bit depth is adequate.

If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict.

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager

Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.

If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.

The way to resolve a hardware conflict is to uncheck the Use Automatic Settings box and hit the Change Settings button. You are searching for a setting that will display a No Conflicts message.

Another useful way to resolve video problems is to go to

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System --> Performance --> Graphics

Here you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left. As ever, the most common cause of problems relating to graphics cards is old or faulty drivers (a driver is a small piece of software used by a computer to communicate with a device). Look up your video card's manufacturer on the internet and search for the most recent drivers for it.


It doesn't end here. I have more on it. Sorry now no time to write. It will be up in two days. If you have any doubts regarding this, pls comment here...
