Set Process Priority To Speed Up Specific Processes  

Follow this little and cool tip to increase the priority of active processes, this will result in prioritization of processes using the CPU which will speed up specific programs you want.

Follow these steps:

1. Press CTRL-SHIFT-ESC

2. It will open Windows Task Manager showing current running processes.






3. Now right click on any one of the active processes (whichever you want to speed up), the last option will be of setting the priority. It will have the following options:
  • Realtime
  • High
  • AboveNormal
  • Normal
  • BelowNormal
  • Low
The default option is Normal. Now for example, if you are burning a CD/DVD so set the priority of your CD/DVD writing program high, and guess what, less chances of crashed CD’s.

You can also set the priority of some programs low so that they don't consume much of your system's resources. Like for example, if you are downloading something using uTorrent, then you can set its priority low, so that there's ample resources left for other programs to work smoothly.

So just keep trying it with different programs and you will notice the difference.
Hope you liked this trick. Send in your comments to support me

SMS Spoofing  

The content written is strictly for educational purpose and not for misuse.

SMS Forging is the trick by which you can steal the identity of the sender.

The working of SMS is explained as under.

First of all the sender send the SMS via SMS gateway.
The identity of the sender is attached to the SCCP packer of the SMS.

The SMS once reach the SMS gateway is routed to the destination Gateway and
then to the receiver’s handset.

There are many ways by which we can send SMS to the SMS gateway.

One of them is to use internet.

Now the concept of SMS forging lies in changing the SCCP packer which contains
the sender information prior delivering to the SMS gateway.

The intruder can change the SCCP packet and can send that packet to
any of the receiver as a spoofed SMS.

Some of the Website on the net also provide this facility.

To provide such service is not legal and the user using this may lead so
serios consequences with law.

So i request you not to use this kind of trick to spoof SMS and above info
was only for educational purpose.

Hacking Password Protected Laptops  



Password protecting a laptop does not ensure data protection, the password protection of laptops provides a false sense of security. Passwords on laptops are good to implement to prevent unauthorized access, however when a thief steals a laptop and has time, getting around the password is quite simple. There are also issues if there was no way to get around passwords, as even admins forget them and need access to the system. Passwords are good to have, but will not stop a thief from accessing the device, only slow them down a bit. Here is a quick run through of some common techniques for getting around the passwords for different platforms:
Windows XP & Vista

Windows can be cracked using several available tools one popular one is OphCrack, which is free. The software can works with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It comes with a LiveCD version which automates the retrieval, decryption, and cracking of passwords from a Windows system. The latest version uses a new faster technique using rainbow tables and can crack 99.99% of alphanumeric passwords of up to 14 characters in usually a few seconds, and at most a few minutes. The software works with older versions of Windows as well.

Another commerical product is Proactive Password Auditor from Elcomsoft. The software utilizes similar techniques to OphCrack but with a bit more automation and a friendlier user interface. The product basically makes password a mainstream technique that anyone can use to gain access to a system.

For Operating system X

For OS X 10.4 The root password can be easily reset in OS X by booting the system from the Mac OS X installation CD and selecing the Reset password option under “Utilities” from the installer screen and follow the directions.

OS X 10.5 can be reset using single user mode. (hold down ‘Command’ and ‘S’ during reboot or startup.)

At the prompt, type fsck -fy

Type mount -uw /

Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.
DirectoryServices.plist

Type dscl . -passwd /Users/username newpassword replace with the real “username” and follow with the new password, as shown.
Linux

Boot Linux into single-user mode

1. Reboot the machine.
2. Press the ESC key while GRUB is loading to enter the menu.
3. If there is a ‘recovery mode’ option, select it and press ‘b’ to boot into single user mode.
4. Otherwise, the default boot configuration should be selected. Press ‘e’ to edit it.
5. Highlight the line that begins with ‘kernel’. Press ‘e’ again to edit this line.
6. At the end of the line, add an additional parameter: ’single’. Hit return to make the change and press ‘b’ to boot.
7. Change the admin password
The system should load into single user mode and you’ll be left at the command line automatically logged in as root. Type ‘passwd’ to change the root password or ‘passwd someuser’ to change the password for your “someuser” admin account.
8. Reboot
Enter ‘reboot’ to restart into your machine’s normal configuration.

These are just a few techniques used to get around password protection on laptops. The first thing that should be implemented is making passwords longer, a 14 character password can be cracked in a matter of minutes. Most IT administrators require a password of 8 characters, this is not sufficient. It is better to devise a phrase instead of just a word.




**************************************************************



Track Flash Drive Users  



While there is no fool proof way of doing it, you could try a combination of autorun.inf files and batch file.

Create an autorun.inf file on the root of your flash drive with the following contents:

[autorun]
open=getusers.bat
action=Open folder to view files

Next, create a batch file called getusers.bat with the following contents:

@echo off
echo %username%>>users.txt

When a user puts your flash drive into their computer, it pop up with an autoplay option indicating that they are to click on the icon to open the folder to view files. A small black box will pop up briefly and then disappear. If you go into the root of the drive, you will find a new file called users.txt. If you open this file, it wil contain the user names of all the users who have accessed your drive by clicking on the icon.
This is, of course, not a fool proof method as all someone has to do is bypass the autoplay feature and their name is not recorded or they can delete the users.txt file but this is at least a proof of concept.
