Seven useful Windows 7 tips and tricks

1. Bypass the Recycle Bin
The Windows Recycle Bin is a good safeguard against accidental file deletions. However, when you know you want to permanently delete a file, you can bypass it. Instead of pressing the Del key, press Shift+Del, then Shift+Enter to confirm.
If you prefer, you can also permanently disable the Recycle Bin. First, right-click on the Recycle Bin, then choose Properties. Click on the drive you want to disable the Recycle Bin for, then select "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted." Click the OK or Apply button to save the changes.

2. Open Windows Explorer faster
Are you still mousing over to a Windows Explorer icon or double-clicking on My Computer to browse your files? Try pressing Windows Logo+E instead, to instantly launch Windows Explorer.
3. Enable underlining of keyboard shortcuts
Windows has many menu shortcut keys, but they're hidden by default. To enable the underlining of the shortcuts, go to Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Change how your keyboard works. Click on the box next to "Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys," then hit the OK or Apply button to save.

On the left, underlining is disabled. On the right, underlining is enabled.

4. Bypass the Windows splash screen
Disabling the Windows splash screen can shave a couple seconds from your total boot time. Launch the Windows Run command (Windows Logo+R), then type msconfig. Under the Boot tab, check the box next to "No GUI boot." Hit the OK or Apply button to save the changes.

5. Lock Windows quickly
Whether you're at the office, library, or cafe, it's always a good idea to lock Windows before you step away. To lock Windows quickly, press Windows Logo+L.
6. Show hidden files, folders, and drives
To view files, folders, and drives that Windows hides, open the Windows search box (Windows Logo) and type folder. Next, select Folder Options from the search list and navigate to the View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, check the box next to "Show hidden files, folders, and drives."

7. Rename multiples files
To rename multiple files in Windows, highlight the files you want to rename, then hit the F2 key. Rename the first file, then hit Enter. All your files will be renamed and a number in parenthesis will be added to the end of the name. If you change your mind, you can hit Ctrl+Z to undo the rename.

Learn All About Spyware

A very detailed look at what spyware is, how it attaches itself to computers, and the common methods of prevention.

There are a lot of PC users that know little about "Spyware", "Malware", "hijackers", "Dialers" and many more. This post will help you avoid pop-ups, spammers and all those baddies.


What is spy-ware?

Spy-ware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Ad-ware). It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other than by selling it to the users. There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales. This way, you don't have to pay for the software and the developers are still getting paid. If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee.

Known spywares

There are thousands out there, new ones are added to the list everyday. But here are a few:
Alexa, Aureate/Radiate, BargainBuddy, ClickTillUWin, Conducent Timesink, Cydoor, Comet Cursor, eZula/KaZaa Toptext, Flashpoint/Flashtrack, Flyswat, Gator, GoHip, Hotbar, ISTbar, Lions Pride Enterprises/Blazing Logic/Trek Blue, Lop (C2Media), Mattel Brodcast, Morpheus, NewDotNet, Realplayer, Songspy, Xupiter, Web3000, WebHancer, Windows Messenger Service.

How to Know if You Are Infected with RATs or Keyloggers

In this post i am going to show you how to find out when you are infected with a RAT or Keylogger, without using any complex tools. Now i believe most of you might know that you need to have an internet connection to make a RAT or a Keylogger work, which would mean, if you are not connected to internet, you don't have to worry about being infected with RAT or Keylogger. Ok, so for those who have internet connection and think they are being infected with a Trojan, here is a little guide that can solve your problem.

1. Now every program has their own process which can be seen on task manager. So the first thing to do is to find out which process the Trojan is being attached to. If you see some unknown process search that on google. A good hacker will always makes sure he hides its process with a Windows based Process, for eg. svchost.exe or something like that.

2. If you cant find, then the next thing you can do is use cmd (to open cmd prompt, Click on Start--->Accessories-->Command prompt).

3. Once Command Prompt is opened, use this command: netstat -an |find /i "listening"

Note: The NETSTAT command will show you whatever ports are open or in use, but it is NOT a port scanning tool!

Now we wonder What this Command does? This command will show all the opening ports. Now check for any unknown port.

4. You can skip step 3 if you want, and can do this instead.

Open command prompt and type netstat -b


Now this command will show you the active connections with the process with their PID (Process Identifier) and also the packets.
Look out for SYN Packets and the Foreign address its been connecting with , check the process its been associated with, check the ports also. If you find that its connecting to some unknown ports, then you can say you have been backdoored.

5. Go to your task manager. On the top of it, click on View---> select Column---> Tick on PID (Process Identifier).
Match the suspicious Process with the Processes In task manager, check PID also.


Now most of the RATs resides on Start up. How to delete them from start up?

a) Go to regedit ---> HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current version\Run
On the Right hand side, check for the process name which you find on step 4. if its not their. Check at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
OR
Open Cmd prompt & type start msconfig. Go to Startup tab, you can check the startup process there.


I hope This Tutorial was easy and comprehensive.

How To Send a Self Deleting SMS

Basically this technique is called SAFE-TEXT. It's a technique where a message destroys itself after being read. If you want to call it the Data-centric Suicide Message, that's fine too. This is a website that allows you to send such type of sms for free of cost after registering on it. But it has limitation that you can send only 10 SMS a day.

So here's the thing. With Wikileaks on one side and British libel law on the other, there's room for a tool that lets you say what needs to be said, but without it falling into the wrong hands in the process.

What it does is allow you to send an expletive-laden opinion of your boss to a co-worker, or an it's-in-the-public's-interest-to-know-this leak to your friend on the Guardian (or Wired), without it having a chance to be read by said boss, or unsaid MP.

Note: This trick should only work for British mobile network operators.

Here’s how to use it:

1. To register and activate, text WIRED to 83118 (charged at your standard network rate). You’ll be able to send up to 10 messages daily.
2. If you’re the sender, the message will show your name and number.
3. Write your libel-ridden hate speech and hit send.
4. The receiver will then be sent a text telling them they have been sent a Wired Safe Text with a link to the mobile internet site that hosts your message.
5. When they click through they will activate Safe Text. They will only have a few seconds to read the text (so don’t make it too long) before it self-destructs.

How to Detect Hidden Backdoors, Trojan Horses and Rootkit Tools

Learn How To Detect A BackDoor On A Tool 
What is a BackDoor?

A backdoor in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected, the backdoor may take the form of an installed program, or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. It hides in the computer, scans existing loopholes, opens corresponding ports, as well as modifies system registration files.

Backdoor will not duplicate or actively spread itself. It will only open a certain port through which a remote computer in the network can control the infected computer. Generally the backdoor will not influence normal communication of the network, so firewalls or IDS can hardly detect its existence.

Is my network infected with a backdoor?

According to statistics, most of the backdoors work under port 31337, 31335, 27444, 27665, 20034, 9704, 6063, 5999, 5910, 5432, 2049, 1433, 444, and 137-139. So whether there is communication through these ports in the network determines whether the network is infected with a backdoor.

How To Detect A BackDoor On A Tool?

1. Right click it, if you got winrar installed and you see "open with winrar" then this means it was binded with winrar so def backdoored

2. Open it with a resource editor such as Resource Hacker/Restorator/Pe Explorer and check the rcdata section. If theres 1 & 2 entries in it then its binded

3. Open it with a hex editor. At the start of a PE header theres always this line "This program cannot be run in DOS mode". Search for it, if it exists more then once then it might be binded
it depends on the specific app, for example its not unusual for binders/crypters to have the stub file attached in the resources. Also search for .exe and inspect the results, a binded file
drops the files to a temp folder before executing em , so if you find somethin like this: %.t.e.m.p.%.\.x.x...e.x.e or file1.exe/file2.exe then its def binded

4. Run it in sandboxie. When a file is ran'd in sandboxie its isolated (cant access your files/registry). First click the sandboxie tray icon to open up its Window, then right click the file and click "run with sandboxie". If you see another process name in the sandboxie Window then its probably backdoored (this doesnt include sandboxie rpcss/dcom launch processes, those are legit and needed for some programs). Thats not all, the file may drop another when one of the buttons in the program GUI is clicked or after you close it, so click all the buttons and close it just to make sure. If you do see other processes then immdiatly click file -> terminate all processes from the sandboxie menu. If a file refuses to run in sandboxie or its suppose to be a program and it runs without GUI then it would probably be best to delete it.

Hope this tutorial was helpful for you.

Top 5 Free Photo Editors for Windows

5 Amazing Free Graphic and Image Editors for Designers and Photographers

Now all of you know that Photoshop is the heavyweight champ in the image-editing category, but most people don’t need such an advanced toolset for everyday image-editing tasks, and its price is near $650. In this post i'll show you some of the best free image editors that are so easy to use.

1. IrfanView - IrfanView is probably the most popular and feature packed free image viewer for Windows that can view, edit, and convert image files and play video/audio formats. It has been around for many years and keeps getting better. In addition to standard image viewing, it includes many additional features including slideshow, batch conversion, image adjustment, image editing, resizing, panorama stitching, auto EXIF rotation and more. There certainly are more user-friendly and attractive image viewers, but few that offer all the functionality, and extendibility that IrfanView can provide.

2. Paint.NET - Paint.NET features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins. Many special effects are included for enhancing and perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting. I am using this software and it's really great.

3. FastStone Image Viewer - FastStone Image Viewer is a fast, stable, user-friendly image browser, converter and editor. It has a nice array of features that include image viewing, management, comparison, red-eye removal, emailing, resizing, cropping, color adjustments, watermarks and more. FastStone Image Viewer supports all major graphic formats including BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, GIF, PNG, PCX, TIFF, WMF, ICO and TGA as well as digital RAW formats including CRW, CR2, NEF, PEF, RAF, MRW, ORF and DNG).

4. GIMP - GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is specifically a raster graphics editor used to process digital graphics and photographs. It is usually the direct free replacement for Photoshop and rightly so, there are very few limitations, its very powerful, and is probably easier to use than Photoshop. With its dedicated community you can find all the help, tutorials and plugins you would ever need. All this for free!
OS : Windows ALL, Mac OS X, and SkyOS.

5. Photoscape - PhotoScape is a complete photo editing suite that includes image browsing/viewing, photo editing, picture page printing, photo resizing and renaming, and even RAW conversion. It is a very complete package that will meet most of your digital image editing needs.

In this post i want to show you how to disable the right click functionality on desktop and explorer by using a simple registry hack. The bad thing is that people can still drag files and folders and drop them everywhere but it does provide some level of protection.

Lets start:

To use this feature, you will need to be logged into your computer with administrative rights.

1. Go to Start > Run > type REGEDIT and hit enter. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer


2. Here in right side panel, right click to create a new DWORD value with the name NoViewContextMenu (it is case sensitive), then assign number 1 in value data box.


Adding the registry tweak above will disable mouse right click for ALL users. If you only want to disable for the current logged in user, you should add the registry tweak to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

How to Protect Yourself from Malwares

Malware, short for malicious software, is software designed to secretly access a computer system without the owner's informed consent. The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.The term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, including true viruses. [Wikipedia]

With the increase in malware "programmers", numerous malwares/spywares are releasing everyday.

Here are some ways to stay safe from most malwares in Windows:

1. OS Installation Directory

Most of them are skids, so they hard-code location names in their apps, instead of getting the System Directory. As you know the default installation of Windows XP, Vista, 7 is C:\Windows. When you are installing an OS, you are asked for the installation location, even Directory name. Just change C:\Windows to something like E:\OSdir, etc. and you should be immune from skid malwares.

Note: Some softwares may stop working this way, since it can be possible that they are using the same idea. Just find an alternative for them.

2. Show Hidden Folders, and System Files

It is really easy to make any file System/Hidden in most programming languages, so most malwares hide their stub using these attributes. It becomes real easy to find them after you unhide them.

3. Use BinText on suspicious apps

You have found a suspiciously hidden App? Open it in BinText, it will display all Text in the app. Most programmers don't hide Text, although it can be done by obfuscating. But there is still a very good chance you can find suspicious information in an app. If you find text like ", , etc" then the app is a malware/spyware.

4. Process in Task Manager

Most of the Malwares cannot hide their task from TaskManager. All they do is Disable Task Manager by creating a Key in Registry. Just Download another Task Manager, there are lots, or make one yourself (Google for that), and you can End the Process of the suspicious app.

These are some basic tips that can help you to stay safe from most malwares.

Shut Up and Be Secure - Power of Social Engineering

Human is the most weakest part of the Information Security chain. Psychologists have identified many benefits people receive when they help others. Helping can make us feel empowered. It can get us out of a bad mood. It can make us feel good about ourselves. Hackers find many ways of taking advantage of our inclination to be helpful.

Because Hackers often target people who don’t know the value of the information they are giving away, the help may be seen as carrying little cost to the helper. Most of Humans tend to explain their behavior and of others, while doing this we give away alot of information about us.

Security is too often merely an illusion, an illusion sometimes made even worse when gullibility, naivety, or ignorance come into play. The world’s most respected scientist of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein, is quoted as saying, “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” In the end, social engineering attacks can succeed when people are stupid or, more commonly, simply ignorant about good security practices.

With the same attitude as our security-conscious homeowner, many information technology (IT) professionals hold to the misconception that they’ve made their companies largely immune to attack because they’ve deployed standard security products – firewalls, intrusion detection systems, or stronger authentication devices such as time-based tokens or biometric smart cards.

Anyone who thinks that security products alone offer true security is settling for. the illusion of security. It’s a case of living in a world of fantasy: They will inevitably, later if not sooner, suffer a security incident.

How to Download Flash Videos From Any Site With Firefox

I'll make it short. I found this out on myself just by peeping around and Googling a bit.

1. Open Firefox.

2. Clear your cache.

Open Firefox and select "Tools" -> "Options", select the Advanced panel, and click on the Network tab. In the Offline Storage section, click Clear Now.


Click OK to close the Options window

3. Load the web page that contains your flash video. Make sure it streams all the way. This means you now have it in your computer's cache.

4. Open a new tab and write "about:cache" in the address bar (without the "quotes").


5. Under "Disk cache device", copy the path shown for the cache directory.


6. Paste that path in My Computer, or navigate to it however you want.

7. Order files by size.

8. The biggest file should be your video. It's going to have a weird name like 54DDEA30e01 but that's fine. This is your video.

9. Open the file with a media player that supports the format, such as VLC Player.

NOTE: Most likely, your computer won't know which software to run this file type with, so just select "open file with" option after clicking the file with the secondary mouse button, and choose VLC Player.
