Concept
Press shift key 5 times and the sticky key dialog shows up.This works even at the logon screen. But If we replace the sethc.exe which is responsible for the sticky key dialog,with cmd.exe, and then call sethc.exe by pressing shift key 5 times at logon screen,we will get a command prompt withadministrator privilages because no user has logged on. From there we canhack the administrator password,even from a guest account.
Prerequisites
Guest account with write access to system 32.5 Hacking Sites for a budding Hacker

Remove REGSVR.EXE and New Folder.exe viruses completely
Plug a pendrive into a public computer and you will be pesked by the continuously replicating “New Folder.exe” virus or the “regsvr.exe” virus. Time for some virus busting I guess..here is how you can remove “regsvr.exe” and “new folder.exe” from your computer.
Step 1 - Some Startup Repairs
First of all, boot into safe mode.After you get to your desktop,press F3 or Ctrl + F and search for “autorun.inf” file in your computer and delete all the subsequent files. I case you are no able to delete them, select all the files and uncheck the”Read Only” option. If you are still not able to delete them , you might want to try out Unlocker tool to delete the files.
Now go to
start – > run –> type ”msconfig”
and press enter
Go to startup tab and uncheck “regsvr”, click ok and then click on “Exit without restart”.
Now go to
control panel –> scheduled tasks and delete “At1” task listed there.
Once done, close all windows.
Step 2 - Changing Configurations
Your registry might be disabled,and you need to activate it back to undo all the malicious changes done by worm.In order to do that, you need to go to
start – > run –> type ”gpedit.msc”
and press enter
then navigate to
users configuration –> Administrative templates –> systems
Find “prevent access to registry editing tools” , double click it and change the option to disable.

Sql Injection & Security Against It
SQL injection is a code injection technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application. The vulnerability is present when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and thereby unexpectedly executed. It is an instance of a more general class of vulnerabilities that can occur whenever one programming or scripting language is embedded inside another. SQL injection attacks are also known as SQL insertion attacks.
Forms of vulnerability
Incorrectly filtered escape characters
This form of SQL injection occurs when user input is not filtered for escape characters and is then passed into an SQL statement. This results in the potential manipulation of the statements performed on the database by the end user of the application.
The following line of code illustrates this vulnerability:
statement = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '" + userName + "';"
Advanced password hacking using Google – easy to learn, easy to apply
Google is your best friend when it comes to hacking. The search engine giant has crawled loads of data which was intended to be protected by webmasters, but is being exploited and mined by smart users using Google dorks. Today I will be discussing some practical dorks which will help you gain passwords, databases and vulnerable directories. The basic methodology remains the same, query Google using specialized dorks with precise parameters and you are good to go

Crack iPhone passwords
“ Download, point and click “ yups..its that simple to crack an iPhone backup password, using a software which was unveiled by Elcomsoft .Elcomsoft is the same forensic team behind wireless password cracking and Quicken password cracking and many other applications. The Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breakeris a novel piece of software that uses wordlist based attacks to recover passwords for iPhones and iPod Touches by trying thousands of phrases per second. It is speculated that the final version will be able to perform dictionary based customized attacks too.
The basic logic behind the cracking lies in the use of iTunes application which allows users to make backup of iPod and iPhone that contain a wealth of potentially sensitive information, including call logs, address books, SMS archives, calendars, pictures and voice mail. Elcomsoft password Cracker cracks these backup files and doesn't requires the use of iTunes.
The software makes use of multi-core processors, extended CPU instructions and will run faster on certain types of graphics cards. It runs on the XP, Vista and 7 versions of Windows.

Getting Max Internet Speed using ARP Poisoning
Ever thought of stealing bandwidth of internet in a local Lan ? well..I usually do it when I am surfing net at night and need more speed for downloading games and movies..and you can do that too. Well its done using ARP Poisoning..Sounds geeky but its the technical name of network sniffing.Basically,sniffing is used to get passwords – encrypted or unencrypted in a network. But it can also be used to choke the network bandwidth and getting maximum bandwidth in a single system. For those who don't know how it happens,letme give you a little insight on how it happens.
Below is an example of a normal network.Now as we can see,that we are working on a laptop and we have to sniff out a target computer .All the systems are getting data via a switch which is itself connected to a router.The Router has a MAC address which is in this case is not binded to a particular IP. All the data is routed to a switch which is catered to systems using a switch.
The systems connect to router through the MAC address of router.Technically,we have to spoof the MAC address of router so all the data is sent through our system and we are able to see and analyze each packet of data.In simple words this process of spoofing is known as ARP poisoning.Also,in normal condition,data sent through LAN is unencrypted in nature.
As we can see in the above diagram,we have now spoofed the MAC address and the data is sent through our system and we can viewpasswords and data.
But hey wait..I said that I will tell you how to get maximum speeds ain’t it ? well..its easy. When you poison a network,and spoof the address,but if you have not yet started sniffing,then all the systems will look for data to your system and will not be able to access net.And you will be playing with full bandwidth !!!
To do this, Download Ettercap and poison the network (shift + U then control + S ..do some homework and get the idea) but DONT START SNIFFING.Once you have poisoned it,you will be able to surf internet at maximum bandwidth whereas others wont.I used to do it in my net connection at night so nobody was able to complaint and stop it as soon as my downloads finished so I was way away from the hands of Law.BTW Ettercap is one of the best available tool for sniffing any network out there.
PS : If you wanna check if your network is sniffed or not, go to -
Start Menu –> Run –> type CMD and press Enter.
The type without quotes “ARP –a”
If you network is being sniffed,then all the MAC address will be the same.
