How to make XP / Vista dual-boot Independently
2007-10-08 06:51:00
Many questions regarding making XP and Vista boot independently of each other arise because users face problems when one partition becomes corrupt or they format their active partition, not knowing they will lose the ability to boot their OS. Having independent boot would avoid this scenario.The reason they are dependent is because the boot files for both are stored on ONE and the SAME partition, which is your ACTIVE partition. Vista setup determines to put the boot files on the active partition, which is usually the XP partition since it's active at the time of install.I have come up with a way to boot the two independently with the use of a third "recovery partition." This recovery partition can be multi-purpose if you use BartPE. You can use it to boot XP and Vista, replace system files with patched ones, use disk management services to repartition, etc. (You also use Windows PE or VistaPE as your recovery partition. You will have to add them to your BCD with bcdedit using the link

Geo-locate incoming emails
2007-10-03 08:12:00
What I am going to explain here is nothing new, but I would just like to share with you people a trick that has been very useful to me in past few years, especially for superficially scrutinizing cyber-strangers. There is much software out there that will allow you to geo-locate the incoming mails and thereby making this task much easier to perform. For those who want to use this information only casually, the following is the simple procedure. How it works? Geo-location is not a very complex process superficially and it consists of two basic steps. Find out the IP address (Internet protocol address) from where the mail originated. Geo-locate the IP. -This is a technical process and if not difficult, it is a bit cumbersome to do manually, but developers have made free easy-to-use utilities for these. So how do I start? First you need to get the headers of the mail. These headers are usually hidden by almost all the mail reading applications whether it is web-based or a desktop applicat

Hacking Google Directory
2007-09-17 07:00:00
Google has a searchable subject index in addition to its 2 billion page web search. Google's web search indexes over 2 billion pages, which means that it isn't suitable for all searches. When you've got a search that you can't narrow down, like if you're looking for information on a person about whom you know nothing, 2 billion pages will get very frustrating very quickly. But you don't have to limit your searches to the web search. Google also has a searchable subject index, the Google Directory , at http://directory.google.com. Instead of indexing the entirety of billions of pages, the directory describes sites instead, indexing about 1.5 million URLs. This makes it a much better search for general topics. Does Google spend time building a searchable subject index in addition to a full-text index? No. Google bases its directory on the Open Directory Project data at http://dmoz.org/.

Google's Current Offerings (best google hacking)
2007-09-17 06:57:00
Google's web search (http://www.google.com/) covers over 3 billion pages. In addition to HTML pages, Google's web search also indexes PDF, Postscript, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Rich Text Format (RTF). Google's web search also offers some syntaxes that find specific information, like stock quotes and phone numbers, but we'll save that for later in the book. The Google Directory (http://directory.google.com/) is a searchable subject index based on The Open Directory Project (http://www.dmoz.org). As it indexes sites (not pages), it's much smaller than the web search but better for general searches. Google has applied its popularity algorithm to the listings so that more popular sites rise to the top. Usenet is a worldwide network of discussion groups. Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/) has archived Usenet's discussions back 20 years in some places, providing an archive that offers over 700 million messages.

Hacking Google Search Forms

Build your own personal, task-specific Google search form.If you want to do a simple search with Google, you don't need anything but the standard Simple Search form (the Google home page). But if you want to craft specific Google searches you'll be using on a regular basis or providing for others, you can simply put together your own personalized search form.Start with your garden variety Google search form; something like this will do nicely:< action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get">< maxlength="255" size="31" name="q">< type="submit" value="Search Google" name="sa">< /form>This is a very simple search form. It takes your query and sends it directly to Google, adding nothing to it. But you can embed some variables to alter your search as needed. You can do this two ways: via hidden variables or by adding more input to your form.10.1 Hidden VariablesAs long as you know how to identify a search option in Google, you can add it to your search form via a hidden variable.

Hacking the URL Google hands you in response to a search. When you think of hacks you might think of making a cool search form or performing a particularly intricate search. But you can also hack search results by hacking the URL that Google returns after a search. There's at least one thing you can do by hacking the URL that you can do no other way, and there are quick tricks you can do that might save you a trip back to the advanced preferences page otherwise. 9.1 Anatomy of a URLSay you want to search for three blind mice. Your result URL will vary depending on the preferences you've set, but the results URL will look something like this: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=%22three+blind+mice%22The query itself—&q=%22three+blind+mice%22, %22 being a URL-encoded " (double quote)—is pretty obvious, but let's break down what those extra bits mean. num=100 refers to the number of search results to a page, 100 in this case.

Obviously employers want to discourage this behavior and may implement a number of different ways to do so. These can include; Restricting people from installing programs on their workstation. This usually won't stop someone from accessing websites, but it may keep people from playing games or using instant messaging software. Using a firewall or proxy server to restrict access to websites or other Internet protocols. All your Internet communication passes through your network's firewall, so it's a great place to monitor and restrict access.

Brute Force How It works
2007-08-27 23:14:00
There are a number of methods that a hacker can use to guess a password such as checking defaults, checking common passwords, or using a dictionary attack. When these methods fail, there is one final guessing technique available: the brute force attack. A brute force attack, as the name implies, involves a methodical process that in theory works in any situation because every possibility is tried. The practical implementation is not guaranteed to be successful but the odds can be improved with some extra work. The Brute Force Algorithm The word "algorithm" tends to sound rather imposing. Creating a program that will guess every possible password might sound like quite a chore. In reality, the brute force algorithm is deceptively simple! There are several variations that can be used, but all rely on the same basic premise. Here is one possible pattern: a,b,c,d,...,aa,ba,ca,da,...,aaa,baa,caa,... This patter will continue through all the possible iterations until a maximum length is reac

Type netstat /? for details. Type netstat -r at the command prompt to see the ip of all computers you are connected toIn MSN (and other programs) when you are chatting to someone everything you type goes through the MSN servers first (they act as a proxy) so you see their ip rather than who you are chatting to. You can get round this by sending them a file as MSN doesn't send file through its proxy.When you type the netstat -r (or -a for a different view) the ip's are under the foreign address table. The ports are seperated by a : . Different programs use different ports, so you can work out which ip's are from which program.

Hacking MySpace: How Flash & AJAX Based Worm Works

MySpace has been infected by Flash based (swf) worm which spreading rapidly through MySpace.

However it may be just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s take a look at how it works to understand how it can be easily modified to deliver much devastating payloads.The unnamed worm isn’t malicious but the Shockwave Flash (.swf) file containing the payload embeds JavaScript into the profile of any MySpace user who views the .swf file. This can easily replicate Samy is my friend worm without breaking a sweat.This javascript code would then be interpreted by any user who visited the site, allowing sensitive data to be stolen, such as a hash value required to carry out operations as a user, and performing operations on behalf of that users (without consent obviously).

HTTP Response Splitting is a fairly new type of Web App security vulnerability. The idea behind it is, you find a website that takes user submitted data, and writes it to the HTTP header. An example of this is a Location: redirect. Heres the PHP code that takes a website, and redirects you to it.http://site.com/redirect.php?page=http://www.google.comCODE : As you can see, the 'page' variable is passed to the Location header to redirect the user. Heres what the request and reply headers look like:Request:CODE : GET /index.php?page=http://www.google.com HTTP/1.1 Host: site.com Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Reply: (302 Redirect)CODE : HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2007 1:40:00 GMT Server: Apache/0.0.0 (Windows) PHP/0.0.0L

Fuzzers - The ultimate list
2007-10-12 03:22:00
I spent the last week performing a penetration test for a customer, and at the close of the test I usually have a one-day in person "remediation meeting". One of the "action items" for me from the meeting was to respond with a list of fuzzers (sometimes called fault injectors) that can be used for in house pen testing. If you aren't familar with fuzzers and what they are, here is my best stab at a definition:Fuzzer: A fuzzer is a program that attempts to discover security vulnerabilities by sending random input to an application. If the program contains a vulnerability that can leads to an exception, crash or server error (in the case of web apps), it can be determined that a vulnerability has been discovered. Fuzzers are often termed Fault Injectors for this reason, they generate faults and send them to an application. Generally fuzzers are good at finding buffer overflow, DoS, SQL Injection, XSS, and Format String bugs. They do a poor job at finding vulnerabilites related to informa
