Top 10 Tricks to exploit SQL Server Systems
Whether it is through manual poking and prodding or the use of security testing tools, malicious attackers employ a variety of tricks to break into SQL Server systems, both inside and outside your firewall. It stands to reason then, if the hackers are doing it, you need to carry the same attacks to test the security strength of your systems. Here are 10 hacker tricks to gain access and violate systems running SQL Server.
1. Direct connections via the Internet
These connections can be used to attach to SQL Servers sitting naked without firewall protection for the entire world to see (and access). DShield's Port Report shows just how many systems are sitting out there waiting to be attacked. I don't understand the logic behind making a critical server like this directly accessible from the Internet, but I still find this flaw in my assessments, and we all remember the effect the SQL Slammer worm had on so many vulnerable SQL Server systems. Nevertheless, these direct attacks can lead to denial of service, buffer overflows and more.

13 Awesome, Must Try Notepad Tricks

1.This App Can Break
This is one of the most popular notepad tricks because of its mysterious nature. In order to get an idea as to what this trick does, just follow the steps given below:
· Open Notepad.
· Type “this app can break” (without quotes).
· Save that file with any name and close it.
· Open It Again to see the magic.
Reason For This Behavior: It is known as the 4335 Rule. It means that if we enter four words separated by spaces, wherein the first word has 4 letters, the next two have three letters each, and the last word has five letters. Then Notepad Automatically hides the text into unknown code.
Top 10 Windows Built-In Command Line Tools
For many Windows users, the thought of using the Command Prompt is either a scary experience or something that they will never need. But for some, the command prompt is a powerful tool that can be far more useful than many graphical tools available in Windows.
Being a System Administrator, I constantly use the command prompt, mostly because I access systems remotely and many tasks can be performed quickly with out the graphics over head (even though connecting via Terminal Server is very convenient).

Basics of Javascript Injection
JavaScript is a widely used technology within websites and web based applications. JavaScript can be used for all sorts of useful things and functions. But along with this comes some additional security issues that need to be thought of and tested for. JavaScript can be used not only for good purposes, but also for malicious purposes.JavaScript injection is a nifty little technique that allows you to alter a sites contents without actually leaving the site.This can be very usefull when say, you need to spoof the server by editing some form options.JavaScript injection is a fun technique that allows you to change a websites content without leaving the site, reloading the page, or saving the site to your desktop.

A website tells u if your computer ports are hacked or not
Check if Ur Ports are Hacked or NOT
info:Port Scan
This server will now attempt to open several common ports on your computer. The results of these attempts will be displayed on this page as Open, Closed, or Secure:
If your firewall is configured to block a port, and it is operating correctly, you will see Secure and an event will be logged on your firewall.
A Closed port indicates that the port is reachable but there is no program currently accepting connections there.
If the port is indicated as Open there is an application or service on your computer actively accepting connections.
The time to check each port will range from less than a second up to 20 seconds. Ports which are Secure will take the most time and if u are secured after the test ends tells u
