Increase your netspeed
go to desktop->My computer-(right click on)->manage->
->Device manager->
now u see a window of Device manager
then go to
Ports->Communication Port(double click on it and Open).
after open u can see a Communication Port properties.
go the Port Setting:----and now increase ur "Bits per second" to 128000.
and "Flow control" change 2 Hardware.
U WILL NOTICE AN IMMEDIATE RESULT
this will increase the receiving capacity of your input port and thus ur netspeed will be increased. :)

Block websites without any software
Steps
1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2] Find the file named "HOSTS"
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
5] Done!
example :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com-
www.orkut.com is now unaccessable
For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.
ie:
127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4 www.msn.com
127.0.0.5 www.google.com
This also works with banner sites, just find the host name of the server with the banners and do the same thing with that addy.
Hope this small tutorial could keep you going in simple way of blocking websites..

Keylogger - A Complete Tutorial
/*What is a keylogger?
it's a program that logs everything that you type on the keyboard.
what are it's usages to me?
well, if you want to record everytyhing someone types then you can then see anything you want like passwords and such.
how do i get one?
you can buy some corporate or home usage ones that are made for recording what employees are doing or what your kids are doing that is a bad method though since they are bloated, cost money since most people don't know how to find warez and it's better to make your own since you can make it do what you want to do.
ok, how do i do this?
you program one. if your new to programming then learn how to program in c then come back here.
if you know how to program in C then read on.
there are two ways of making a keylogger:
1. using the GetAsyncKeyState API. look at svchost.c.
2. Using the SetWindowsHookEx API. This is the prefered method but only works on NT based systems. The reason this way is prefered is because it is much more efficient that GetAsyncKeyState. See for yourself. No need to check if what character is being pressed and no need to check other stuff like the value -32767 is being returned. When you use the SetWindowsHookApi you "hook" the keyboard to that you can send all of the keys prssed to somewhere. When making a keylogger you usually send it to a file so that all of the keys will be logged there. The only disavantage of using this API if you could even call it a disadvantage is that you have to use have a DLL as well as your .exe file. I found a peice of code that doesn't need a DLL. Here it is with a slight modification from me so that you don't have to have the keylogger close before you can view the file with the logged keys in it:

Speed up your Firefox
Speed up your firefox browser and load pages 2-3 times faster than previous, its tested
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.
mozilla net speed increases.... cheers

Hacking DSL Router
This tutorial will explain to you how to hack someone's internet account through his router. This hack is based on a security exploit of the router's default password and the stupidity of the user.
Explanation: When somebody buy's a xDSL/Cable router, the router is set to factory defaults like IP range, user accounts, router table, and most important the security level. The last one we will exploit. Most routers will have a user friendly setup menu running on port 23 (telnet) and sometimes port 80 (http) or both. This is what we are looking for.
Step 1.
Get a multiple IP range scanner like "angry IP scanner".
Get your IP address from here:
http://http://www.cmyip.com/
Get a xDSL/Cabel user IP range. This is a single user IP 212.129.169.196 so the ip range of this Internet provider is 212.129.27.xxx most likely it will be from 212.129.27.1 to 212.129.27.255 . To keep your scanning range not to big it's smart to scan from 212.129.27.1 to 212.129.27.255 it also depends of your bandwidth how fast the scan will be finished. The IP address above is just a example any IP range from a xDSL/Cable provider can be used for this hack. Before you start scanning specify the TCP/IP ports, you know that we are looking for TCP port 23 (telnet) and TCP port 80 (http), so edit the list and select only port 23 and port 80. Now start scanning and wait for the results. When finished scanning look for a IP that has a open port 23 and 80. Write them down or remember them.
Step 2.
Way 1
This is important: Most routers have connection log capability so the last thing you want to do is making a connection with your own broadband connection so use a anonymouse proxy server or dailup connection with a fake name and address (56.9kbps modem for example) when connection to the victim's router. Now get a telnet program. Windows has a standard telnet program just go to start, select run and type down "telnet" without ", click OK. Select "connect" than "Remote system" enter IP adres of the victim in the "host name" field press OK. Wait for your computer to make a connection. This way only works when the router has a open telnet port service running.
Way 2
This is important: Most routers have connection log capability so the last thing you want to do is making a connection with your own broadband connection so use a anonymouse proxy server or dailup connection with a fake name and adres (56.9kbps modem for example) when connection to the victim's router. Open a Internet explorer windows enter the IP address of the victim after the http:// in the address bar. This way only works when the router has a open hyper text transfer protocol (http) service running.
Step 3
Entering the userfriendly setup menu. 9 out of 10 times the menu is protected by a loginname and password. When the user doesn't change any security value's the default password stay's usable. So the only thing you have to do is find out what type of router the victim uses. I use this tool: GFILanguard Network Security Scanner. When you find out the type of router that's been used get the wright loginname and password from this list (get it here. not every router is on the list)Default router password list.
Step 4
When you have a connection in telnet or internet expolorer you need to look for user accounts.PPP, PPtP, PPeP, PPoP, or such connection protocol. If this is not correct look for anything that maybe contains any info about the ISP account of the user. Go to this option and open it. Most likely you will see a overview of user setup options. Now look for the username and password. In most case the username will be freely displayed so just write it down or what ever....The password is a different story. Allmost always the password is protected by ********* (stars) in the telnet way there is noway around it (goto another victim) but when you have a port 80 connection (http). Internet connection way open click right mouse key and select "View source" now look for the field where the star are at. most likely you can read it because in the source code the star are converted to normal ASCII text.If not get a "******** to text" convertor like snadboy's revelation V.2 (get it here) move the cursor over the ****** and....It's a miracle you can read the password.Now you have the username and password. There a million fun thing to do with that but more about that next time.check the tutorial page freqently.
Alternate to step 4:
Download Show password or something like this...
Tips.
Beware on most routers only one person can be logged on simultaneous in the router setup menu. Don't change anything in the router if you don't know what you are doing.
Note: You can skip step 2 if you wish, but I am not responsible if anything goes wrong with you...

Secret Backdoor To Many Websites
Ever experienced this? You ask Google to look something up; the engine returns with a number of finds, but if you try to open the ones with the most promising content, you are confronted with a registration page instead, and the stuff you were looking for will not be revealed to you unless you agree to a credit card transaction first....
The lesson you should have learned here is: Obviously Google can go where you can't.
Can we solve this problem? Yes, we can. We merely have to convince the site we want to enter, that WE ARE GOOGLE.In fact, many sites that force users to register or even pay in order to search and use their content, leave a backdoor open for the Googlebot, because a prominent presence in Google searches is known to generate sales leads, site hits and exposure.Examples of such sites are Windows Magazine, .Net Magazine, Nature, and many, many newspapers around the globe.How then, can you disguise yourself as a Googlebot? Quite simple: by changing your browser's User Agent. Copy the following code segment and paste it into a fresh notepad file. Save it as Useragent.reg and merge it into your registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Googlebot/2.1"
"Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"
Voila! You're done!
You may always change it back again.... I know only one site that uses you User Agent to establish your eligability to use its services, and that's the Windows Update site...
To restore the IE6 User Agent, save the following code to NormalAgent.reg and merge with your registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
The lesson you should have learned here is: Obviously Google can go where you can't.
Can we solve this problem? Yes, we can. We merely have to convince the site we want to enter, that WE ARE GOOGLE.In fact, many sites that force users to register or even pay in order to search and use their content, leave a backdoor open for the Googlebot, because a prominent presence in Google searches is known to generate sales leads, site hits and exposure.Examples of such sites are Windows Magazine, .Net Magazine, Nature, and many, many newspapers around the globe.How then, can you disguise yourself as a Googlebot? Quite simple: by changing your browser's User Agent. Copy the following code segment and paste it into a fresh notepad file. Save it as Useragent.reg and merge it into your registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Googlebot/2.1"
"Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"
Voila! You're done!
You may always change it back again.... I know only one site that uses you User Agent to establish your eligability to use its services, and that's the Windows Update site...

Browser Hijacking
Hackers and Browser Hijacking is one area of the Net that affects everyone at some stage.
In addition to having third party utilities such as SpyBot, Anti Virus scanners and firewalls installed there are some changes that can be made to Windows 2000/XP. Below are some details to make your system safer from hackers and hijackers.
Some of these tips require editing of the Registry so it is wise to either backup the registry and/or create a Restore Point.
1. Clearing the Page File at Shutdown:
Windows 2000/XP paging file (Sometimes called the Swap File) can contain sensitive information such as plaintext passwords. Someone capable of accessing your system could scan that file and find its information. You can force windows to clear out this file.
In the registry navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management and add or edit the DWORD ClearPageFileAtShutdown. Set it to 1.
Note that when you do this, the system will take much longer to shut down: a system with a really big Page File (! Gig or more) may take a minute or two longer.
2. Disable the POSIX and OS/2 Subsystem:
Windows 2000 and XP come with little-documented subsystems it at allow compatibility with UNIX and OS/2 systems These rues systems are enabled by default but so rarely used that they are best off bring disabled completely to prevent possible service hijackings.
To disable these subsystems, open the registry and navigate to HKEY LOCAL MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerSubSystems. Delete the subkeys Os2 and Posix. Then reboot.
3. Never leave default passwords blank:
On installation, Windows 2000 sets up an Administrator account with total system access and prompts for a password. Guess what: by default, it allows that password to be blank. If a user doesn't want to type a password, he can simply click Next and the system will be an open door for anyone who wants to log on. Always opt for a password of some kind when setting up the default account on a machine.
4. Install Windows In a different directory:
Windows usually installs itself in the WINDOWS directory. Windows NT 4 0 and 2000 Will opt for WINNT. Many worms and other rogue programs assume this to be the case and attempt to exploit those folders files. To defeat this install Windows to another directory when you're setting it up - you can specify the name of the directory during setup. WINDIR is okay; so some people use WNDWS - A few (not that many) programs may not install properly if you install Windows to another folder but they are very few and they are far between.
5. Fake out hackers with a dummy Administrator account:
Since the default account in Windows 2000 is always named Administrator, an enterprising hacker can try to break into your system by attempting to guess the password on that account. It you never bothered to put a password on that account, say your prayers.
Rather than be a sucker to a hacker, put a password on the Administrator account it you haven't done so already. Then change the name of the Administrator account. You'll still be able to use the account under its new name, since Windows identifies user accounts by a back-end ID number rather than the name. Finally, create a new account named Administrator and disable it. This should frustrate any would -be break-ins.
You can add new accounts and change the names of existing accounts in Windows 2000 through the Local Users and Groups snap in. Right-click on My Computer, select Manager, open the Local Users and Groups subtree, look in the Users folder and right-click on any name to rename it. To add a new user, right-click on the containing folder and select New User. Finally, to disable an account, double-click it, check the Account is disabled box and click OK.
Don't ever delete the original Administrator account. Some programs refuse to install without it and you might have to log in under that account at some point to setup such software. The original Administrator account is configured with a security ID that must continue to be present in the system.
6. Disable the Guest account:
Windows XP comes with a Guest account that's used for limited access, but it's still possible to do some damage with it. Disable it completely if you are not using it. Under Control Panel, select User Accounts, click on Guest Account and then select Turn Off the Guest Account.
7. Set the Hosts file to read-only to prevent name hijacking.
This one's from (and to a degree, for) the experts. The HOSTS file is a text file that all flavors of Windows use to hold certain network addresses that never change. When a network name and address is placed in HOSTS, the computer uses the address listed there for that network name rather than performing a lookup (which can take time). Experts edit this file to place their most commonly-visited sites into it, speeding things up considerably.
Unfortunately hijackers and hackers also love to put their own information into it - redirecting people from their favorite sites to places they don't want to go. One of the most common entries in HOSTS is local host which is set 1770.0.1. This refers to the local machine and if this entry is damaged the computer can behave very unpredictably.
To prevent HOSTS from being hijacked, set it to read-only. Go to the folder %Systemroot%system32driversetc, right-click on HOSTS, select Properties check the Read-Only box and click OK. If you want to add your own entries to HOSTS, you can unprotect it before doing so, but always remember to set it to read-only after you're done.
8. Disallow changes to IE settings through IE:
This is another anti hijacker tip. IE can be set so that any changes to its settings must be performed through the Internet icon in the Control Panel, rather than through IE's own interface. Some particularly unscrupulous programs or sites try to tamper with setting by accessing the Tools, Options menu in IE. You can disable this and still make changes to IE's settings through the Control Panel.
Open the Registry and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftInternet ExplorerRestrictions. Create or edit a new DWORD value named NoBrowserUptions and set it to 1 (this is a per-user setting). Some third-party programs such as Spybot Search And Destroy allow you to toggle this setting.
You can also keep IE from having other programs rename its default startup page, another particularly annoying form of hijacking. Browse to HKEY.CURRENT USERSoftwarePolicies MicrosoftInternet ExploreControl Panel and add or edit a DWORD, Homepage and set it to 1.
9. Turn off unneeded Services:
Windows 2000 and XP both come with many background services that don't need to he running most of the time: Alerter, Messenger, Server (If you're running a standalone machine with no file or printer shares), NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing, Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (the last two if you're not using Remote Desktop or NetMeeting), Remote Registry, Routing and Remote Access (if you're not using Remote Access), SSDP Discovery Service, Telnet, and Universal Plug and Play Device Host.
A good resource and instruction on which of these services can be disabled go to /http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/
10. Disable simple File Shares:
In Windows XP Professional, the Simple File Sharing mode is easily exploited, since it’s a little too easy to share out a file across your LAN (or the NET at large). To turn it off, go m My Computer, click Tools, Folder Option and the View tab, and uncheck Use Simple file sharing (Recommended). Click OK. When you do this you can access the Security tab in the Properties window for all folders; set permissions for folders; and take ownership of objects (but not in XP Home)
In addition to having third party utilities such as SpyBot, Anti Virus scanners and firewalls installed there are some changes that can be made to Windows 2000/XP. Below are some details to make your system safer from hackers and hijackers.

By-Pass Firewalls
How can you hack a Firewall?
Well, there is a useful tool called Trivial FTP (TFTP) which can be used by a attacker to hack firewalls.
How does it work?
While scanning UDP ports, you will want to pay close attention to systems with port 69 open. Cicso routers allow the use of TFTP in conjunction with network servers to read and write configuration files. The configuration files are updated whenever a router configuration is changed. If you can identify TFTP, there is a good chance that you can access the configuration file and download it.
Here are the basic steps:-
(1) Determine the router’s name. NSLookup or Ping –a can be useful.
c: \>ping -a 192.168.13.1
Pinging Router1 [192.168.13.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.13.1: bytes=32 time<10ms ttl="">
Reply from 192.168.13.1: bytes=32 time<10ms ttl="">Reply from 192.168.13.1: bytes=32 time<10ms ttl="">Reply from 192.168.13.1: bytes=32 time<10ms ttl="">Ping statistics for 192.168.13.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
(2) After the router’s name is known, you can then use TFTP to download it from the TFTP server.
c:\>tftp -I 192.168.13.1 GET router1.cfg
Transfer successful: 250 bytes in 1 second, 250 bytes/s
(3) If you are lucky, you will be rewarded with the router’s configuration file.
Hack PC while Chatting
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...
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 two options-
a) Either it uploads the file and then the other client has to download it.
b) Either it connects to the client directly and gets the files.
3) When we use video or audio:-
a) It either goes through 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 without using a TOOL only by simple net commands and yahoo chat techniques. Thats what makes a difference between a real hacker and newbees.
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...

2) Try sending a file to the Target.
If the files comes from server, thats the file is uploaded leave it. You will not get the ip.
But if a direct connection is established
hmmmmmm 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.

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

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.
But yes will work almost 70 percent of the times.

Use Google as proxy
Many jobs and schools & colleges block access to certain sites. However, it is very difficult for anybody to block access to google. By using google with either of these two methods, you can gain access to blocked sites very easily.
Blocked web site, huh? Need a proxy?
I am not a big fan of chasing free, open proxies all over the place. I use google instead. Here I describe what I believe is an uncommon way for bypassing blocked sites using google.
1) The first and most common way of using google to bypass blocked sites is just to search for the site and then clicked the "cached" link that appears on google. Easy, simple, and frequently works for static information.
2) Passing the site through google translator works well as well. Here's the URL to use:
Code:
http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=enen&u=www.blockedsite.com
(where blockedsite.com is the site that you wish to visit)
This translates the site from english to english and works because the ip address will appear as google instead of you. Here's a link to tech-recipes passed through the translator as an example. You can actually do this with any langpair. Change enen in the URL above to spanish by using eses and it still works.
3) Unique method that I have not seen described before is to search through google mobile. Google mobile will "convert as you go" very similiar to the translation method above.
Just search for your site with google mobile and click on the link it provides. Here's is tech-recipes brought up through google mobile search. Once again, this will allow you to bypass any blocks because the IP request comes from google not for you.
Like the translation method above, google will continue to "proxy" as you continue to visit links through the site. And ya it is also useful to retrive some information from net which is currently not available.
