1. Nmap I think everyone has heard of this one, recently evolved into the 4.x series. Nmap (”Network Mapper”) is a free open source utility for network exploration or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers and both console and graphical versions are available. Nmap is free and open source. Can be used by beginners (-sT) or by pros alike (–packet_trace). A very versatile tool, once you fully understand the results. Get Nmap Here 2. Nessus Remote Security Scanner Recently went closed source, but is still essentially free. Works with a client-server framework. Nessus is

Once a hacker does gain access to your computer, he will purposefully leave a little file or two, that will give him easy access in the future. These files are usually referred to as "trojans." This is one of the facts about hackers that is not very comforting. Even after you take precautions to prevent further attacks, unless you thoroughly clean off the hacker's little access files - he can still easily access your system. Another not so nice fact is that, unless you really learn (or already know) about computer systems, you probably will not either be able to detect, or stop the hacker. You can, however, get help. This is when you need to say, "I need an IP specialist, to catch a hacker". Tracing The Hacker's IP Address A number of software programs are available now - through the Internet, that will enable you to trace a hacker's IP address to a geographical address. Remember, though, that hackers often borrow other computers (usually unknown to t

Cookiestealing is one of the most fundamental aspects of XSS (cross site scripting). Why is the cookie so important? Well, first you should see exactly what sort of information is stored in a cookie. Go to a website that requires a login, and after logging in erase everything in your address bar and type this line of code: Code: jalert(document.cookie)After you press enter, you should see a pop-up window with some information in it (that is, if this site uses cookies). This is the data that is stored in your cookie. Here’s an example of what might be in your cookie: Code: username=CyberPhreak; password=ilikepieThis is, of course, a very insecure cookie. If any sort of vulnerability was found that allowed for someone to view other people’s cookies, every user account is possibly compromised. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a site with cookies like these. However, it is very common (unfortunately) to find sites with hashes of passwords within the cookie. The reason that this is unfortu

Before discussing the causes of DLL errors, first we need to know what DLL files are and their purpose. Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files are executable files compiled in different libraries. These libraries are used by the Windows operating systems to perform different functions that can be important for the system entire functionality. DLL files are associated to a specific application that can have static or dynamic link. A dynamic DLL link is used by the program only when required while static link is used all through out the operation of the program. The DLL files have a .dll file extension, but there are also cases when they are given .exe extensions. The great thing about DLL files is that it can be used by different programs simultaneously. Windows include DLL files that can be used by applications installed in the computer. All programs have DLL files included which is executed or used when the program is in use. What is a DLL Hell? The term DLL Hell is a collective term fo

In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC. But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this: shutdown -r -t 01 -c “Rebooting your PC” Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message “Rebooting your PC.” The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use. I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting.

IT IS OFTEN SEEN THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED THAT IS ITS POSSIBLE TO MAKE "CON" NAMED FOLDER IN WINDOWS OR NOT. SO I AM HERE TO TELL THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO CREATE CON FOLDER BY USING DOS AND SOME SIMPLE COMMANDS It is fact that you cannot create a folder named "CON", nor can you rename an existing folder to "CON". "CON" and a number of other character strings are in fact reserved names that go back to the days of DOS and cannot be used to name folders or files. Other reserved names are: * PRN * AUX * NUL * LPT1 * COM1 * Potential drive letter - A: to Z: * A number of others If you try to name a folder using one of these reserved names, the name will automatically revert to the default, generally "New Folder". Moreover, if you try to use a reserved name to name a file such as a Notepad or Microsoft Word document you will generally receive an error message similar to the following: Depending on exactly how you

Graphics processing units, like CPUs, improve year after year, and that means there’s a staggering selection of graphics cards available to choose from and retailers just love to place obsolete cards right alongside the latest and greatest. If you’re not careful, you could very well end up paying a lot of money for technology that’s already a generation behind. Here are 10 things you need to know about video cards before shopping for one 1. Memory isn’t everything Here’s the deal. You need a video card that has a decent amount of memory to play games at high-resolution with quality graphics settings enabled. Good video cards usually have lots of memory because all of that GPU horsepower will go to waste if you don’t have enough memory space. However, the video card manufacturers know that novice buyers look at memory size as one of the main comparison points between different cards, and that’s why it’s very common to see cards with cheap GPUs sporting 256MB or even 512MB of memory,

Here's How: 1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, and Paint. 2. In the Paint window, choose Image, Attributes. 3. Make the Height and Width 32 pixels, and click OK. 4.

You can change its extension later to .ico, if you like. 9. You can now treat this file as a regular icon file. When you replace a Desktop icon with one you made yourself, you don't need to refer to it by anything other than its filename.

If these lines (values) are not listed, right-click on the white region of Regedit's right-hand column, click New, and then click DWORD Value. 8. Enter MaxConnectionsPerServer for the name of the new DWORD Value and press Enter. The new value should now appear in Regedit's right-hand column. 9. Right-click the new value and click M

If you download many programs and files off the Internet, you've probably encountered ZIP files before. This compression system is a very handy invention, especially for Web users, because it lets you reduce the overall number of bits and bytes in a file so it can be transmitted faster over slower Internet connections, or take up less space on a disk. Once you download the file, your computer uses a program such as WinZip or Stuffit to expand the file back to its original size. If everything works correctly, the expanded file is identical to the original file before it was compressed. At first glance, this seems very mysterious. How can you reduce the number of bits and bytes and then add those exact bits and bytes back later? As it turns out, the basic idea behind the process is fairly straightforward. In this article, we'll examine this simple method as we take a very small file through the basic process of compression. Most types of computer files are fairly redundant --

Worst Computer Virus 10: Melissa In the spring of 1999, a man named David L. Smith created a computer virus based on a Microsoft Word macro. He built the virus so that it could spread through e-mail messages. Smith named the virus "Melissa," saying that he named it after an exotic dancer from Florida [source: CNN]. Rather than shaking its moneymaker, the Melissa computer virus tempts recipients into opening a document with an e-mail message like "Here is that document you asked for, don't show it to anybody else." Once activated, the virus replicates itself and sends itself out to the top 50 people in the recipient's e-mail address book. The virus spread rapidly after Smith unleashed it on the world.

* 1. The well known ‘Don’t be evil’ is actually an informal motto of Google. It is a reference to their corporate philosophy which says that you can make money without being evil. It was coined by Paul Buchheit, the man behind Gmail. * 2. Sergey Brin and Larry Page didn’t know too much about HTML. That’s why the first homepage had a very bare bones design. The simple design caused people to just sit there looking at the screen during initial tests. Test users were actually waiting for the “rest of the page to load”. To solve that particular problem the Google Copyright message was added as a line as an end of page marker. * 3. Just so you know: ‘to google’ became a verb in 2006 when both Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary as well as the Oxford English Dictionary recognized it. It of course means – to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet. * 4. Users can search for content in 35 non-English languages, including Chinese, Greek, Icelandic, H

How can I uninstall Windows XP and return to my old Windows 98? If you've upgraded to XP from Windows Me or Windows 98, go to the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet and click Uninstall Windows XP. If you want, you can also uninstall XP from the command prompt by performing the following steps: * Start the computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt support (press F8 during start up). * Navigate to %systemroot%\system32. * Type osuninst.exe and press Enter. * Follow the onscreen instructions. If XP was installed as a dual-boot system along with Win98 or W2K then you can simply format the partition on which it is installed. That is one of the reasons I always recommend to install separate operating systems on separate partitions! Note: Windows XP Professional provides an uninstall tool when upgrading from Windows 98 on a drive formatted as FAT or FAT32. Therefore, when upgrading this type of drive, you will not have the option to upgrade to NTFS, as

How to Rename File Extensions A lot of people here may ask how to rename a file extension in windows; well it’s very simple and takes little of your time. There are two ways to rename a file extension ‘without’ a stupid program. Number 1, Folder Options: Go into your Control Panel, in my case I use Windows XP so I would press [Start then Control Panel]. Now that you figured out how to get in Control Panel open “Folder Options” and click the view tab and make sure ‘Hide file extensions for know files’ is not selected, then press Ok. Now go into a folder and notice you can see your files extensions, rename them to whatever you'd like, for instance: Code: Dildos.exe to Dildos.Anonymous / Etc,Etc,Etc Number 2, MS-DOS: The difference between renaming files in DOS is that you can rename multiple files rather then one at a time, therefore making time gracious. Here I’ll provide you a few examples. Go to your start menu and open run, then type “cmd” without parenthesis.

First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one HDD on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP, there's an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and there's no need to erease any other files as the new prefetch option in XP really improves loading time of installed programs. We only want WindowsXP to boot faster and not decrease its performance. Thanks to Rod Cahoon (for the prefetch automation process...with a minor change of mine) and Zeb for the IDE Channel tweak as those two tricks, coupled together with a little modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup: 1. Open notepad.exe, type "del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c: 2. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "gpedit.msc". 3. Double
