Change IP Address

How to change your IP address in less than a minute? The following trick gives you a step-by-step procedure to change your IP address.

 

 

 

 

1. Click on “Start” in the bottom left hand corner of screen.

2. Click on “Run”.

3. Type in “command” and hit ok.You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.

4. Type “ipconfig /release” just like that, and hit “enter”.

5. Type “exit” and leave the prompt.

6. Right-click on “Network Places” or “My Network Places” on your desktop.

7. Click on “properties”.

You should now be on a screen with something titled “Local Area Connection”, or something close to that.

8. Right click on “Local Area Connection” and click “properties”.

9. Double-click on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” from the list under the “General” tab.

10. Click on “Use the following IP address” under the “General” tab.

11. Create an IP address (It doesn’t matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).

12. Press “Tab” and it should automatically fill in the “Subnet Mask” section with default numbers.

13. Hit the “Ok” button here.

14. Hit the “Ok” button again.You should now be back to the “Local Area Connection” screen.

15. Right-click back on “Local Area Connection” and go to properties again.

16. Go back to the “TCP/IP” settings.

17. This time, select “Obtain an IP address automatically”.

18. Hit “Ok”.

19. Hit “Ok” again.

20. You now have a new IP address.

Some ISPs do not support this type of procedure and hence there are chances of getting back the same old IP address even after trying this hack.In this case you need to switch off the modem and then switch it on to get the new IP address.

NOTE: All these tricks works only if you have a dynamic IP address.But if you have a static IP address you have no option to change your IP.

Hacking Yahoo Messenger

This tutorial will tell you how to hack yahoo messenger while you are engaged in chatting with some person.While you are chatting through yahoo messenger, Yahoo will hide the IP addresses of all the computers that are connected through the yahoo messenger application to the chat room.So it is not possible to directly find out the IP of the person you want to hack.Then how to get the IP address? Yes it is still possible to hack the IP address during the Yahoo messenger chat.The procedure to Hack Yahoo messenger is discussed in detail below.

While you are chatting via yahoo messenger the communication between you and the person you want to hack, takes place indirectly via Yahoo server and not directly.It is not possible to hack Yahoo messenger directly to get the IP address.So to hack his IP, you must establish a direct communication with him.So,how to do this? It’s easy.Just start chatting with some one via Yahoo messenger.During the process of chatting send him a big file.Now the file transfer takes place directly between your computer and the victim’s computer(via yahoo messenger application).So now, you are ready to go. Here’s the step-by-step process to hack Yahoo messenger and get the IP address of the person .

• Goto the COMMAND PROMPT (START>>>RUN>>>Type CMD).


• Here Type “netstat -n” (without quotes).

NOTE: If you are new to “netstat” and other IP related commands refer this tutorial:Windows XP IP Utilities

• The pic given below shows netstat results of my computer.I was not chatting when i took this pic and hence it looks modified.

 

• Here local address is your own IP and the foreign address is the IP address of the recipient with whom you are connected via yahoo messenger (There may be multiple recipients and hence multiple foreign addresses).


• Now send him the file.


• Check the output by typing the command “netstat -n” (without quotes).


• Assume the output is something like this.

 

TCP 127.0.0.10:5101 124.55.23.11:1246 ESTABLISHED

Here 124.55.23.11 is the IP address of the person with whom you are chatting and 1246 is the port number where connection is established.That’s It! You have now hacked Yahoo messenger to get his IP address.

Once you hack Yahoo messenger and get his IP address you can use any of the Remote Administration tools or perform NETBIOS HACKING.Refer this tutorial on Netbios Hacking.

NOTE: Some times there are chances where in the file transfer gets encrypted (takes place via yahoo server itself).So in this case the above hack may fail to work.

How to Edit Start Menu ?

Windows has a nice new Start menu, which you can customize more thoroughly than you could with the Start menu in any earlier version of Windows. Open the Taskbar And Start Menu Properties dialog box by right-clicking the taskbar and clicking Properties. On the Start Menu tab, select either the Start Menu option or the Classic Start Menu option to choose which version of the Start menu to use, and then click Customize. The Customize Start Menu dialog box appears; you use this box to customize how Windows displays the Start menu.

The following sections describe the most useful Start menu hacks. First you learn how to configure what does and does not appear on the Start menu. Then you learn how to prevent some programs from appearing on the frequently used programs list. You also learn how to restore the Start menu’s sort order when it’s not in alphabetical order.

Configuring the Menu’s Contents

Even though you can completely customize the Start menu in the user interface, power users and IT professionals will likely want to script Start menu customizations. Power users don’t want to reconfigure the Start menu every time they install Windows. IT professionals can use scripts to deploy these settings or configure them automatically when creating default user profiles.

If you want to script these settings, you need to know where to find them in the registry. All these settings are in the same place:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

The first section, “Classic Start Menu,” contains values that affect the classic Start menu. The second section, “New Start Menu,” contains values that affect the new Start menu, also known as the Start panel. Most of these settings are REG_DWORD values, but some are REG_SZ values. If the possible data for any of the settings includes 0×01, 0×02, and so on, that setting is a REG_DWORD value. If the possible data includes NO or YES, it’s a REG_SZ value.
