Tools that can help people potentially defraud innocent surfers are available for free download on the internet, it has been claimed.
The do-it-yourself kits provide all the essential tools for launching phishing attacks – those that use spoofed emails and fraudulent websites to trick people into giving out personal financial data.
Phishing scams are on the up. Security company MessageLabs has intercepted an average of 250,000 phishing emails a month so far in 2004, compared to just 14 phishing-related emails back in August 2003.
According to anti-virus company Sophos, the DIY kits contain all the graphics, web code and text required to construct fake websites that look like legitimate online banking or shopping sites. They also include spamming software which would let you send out millions of phishing emails as bait for potential victims.
“Until now, phishing attacks have been largely the work of organised criminal gangs, however, the emergence of these ‘build your own phish’ kits mean that any old Tom, Dick or Harry can now mimic bona fide banking websites and convince customers to disclose sensitive information such as passwords, PIN numbers and account details,” said a spokesman for Sophos.
“There is plenty of profit to be made from phishing. By putting the necessary tools in the hands of amateurs, it’s likely that the number of attacks will continue to rise.”
Surfers that receive a suspicious email that claims to come from an online bank or e-commerce site should delete them and not click on any included links.
How to change your IP address in less than a minute? The following trick gives you a step-by-step procedure to change your IP address.
1. Click on “Start” in the bottom left hand corner of screen.
2. Click on “Run”.
3. Type in “command” and hit ok.You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
4. Type “ipconfig /release” just like that, and hit “enter”.
5. Type “exit” and leave the prompt.
6. Right-click on “Network Places” or “My Network Places” on your desktop.
7. Click on “properties”.
You should now be on a screen with something titled “Local Area Connection”, or something close to that.
8. Right click on “Local Area Connection” and click “properties”.
9. Double-click on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” from the list under the “General” tab.
10. Click on “Use the following IP address” under the “General” tab.
11. Create an IP address (It doesn’t matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press “Tab” and it should automatically fill in the “Subnet Mask” section with default numbers.
13. Hit the “Ok” button here.
14. Hit the “Ok” button again.You should now be back to the “Local Area Connection” screen.
15. Right-click back on “Local Area Connection” and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the “TCP/IP” settings.
17. This time, select “Obtain an IP address automatically”.
18. Hit “Ok”.
19. Hit “Ok” again.
20. You now have a new IP address.
Some ISPs do not support this type of procedure and hence there are chances of getting back the same old IP address even after trying this hack.In this case you need to switch off the modem and then switch it on to get the new IP address.
NOTE: All these tricks works only if you have a dynamic IP address.But if you have a static IP address you have no option to change your IP.
If you are a Windows Vista user then you are very likely to be familiar with the Base Score.This score is calculated based on the computer’s hardware and software configuration.This score act’s as a rating to your PC.If you have a too low base score then don’t worry.Hacking Windows Vista’s so called Base Score is very easy.It is possible to hack this score within no time.Here are the snapshots of my own system.Actually my system’s base score is 3.7.But I have brought it up to 9.5 with this small hack.Can you beleive this!!
Here is a step-by-step instruction to hack Vista Base score
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore
2. You should see a .xml file with Assessment (Formal).WinSAT as filename
3. Right-click it and select open with ‘Wordpad’ (Not notepad!)
4. On line 12, you should see something like the following: 9.5 9.5 9.5 9.5 5.5 9.5 9.5 9.5
5. You can enter any number in the place where I have written 9.5.But the number should be less than10.
6. Once you have entered the number of your choice save the file and close it.
7. That’s it.You have successfully altered your Windows Vista base score.No restart is required.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique address that certain electronic devices currently use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP)—in simpler terms, a computer address. Any participating network device—including routers, switches, computers, infrastructure servers (e.g., NTP, DNS, DHCP, SNMP, etc.), printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones—can have its own address that is unique within the scope of the specific network. Some IP addresses are intended to be unique within the scope of the global Internet, while others need to be unique only within the scope of an enterprise. The IP address acts as a locator for one IP device to find another and interact with it. It is not intended, however, to act as an identifier that always uniquely identifies a particular device. In current practice, an IP address is less likely to be an identifier, due to technologies such as Dynamic assignment and Network address translation.
THIS NETBIOS HACKING GUIDE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HACKING REMOTE COMPUTER AND GAINING ACCESS TO IT’S HARD-DISK OR PRINTER.NETBIOS HACK IS THE EASIEST WAY TO BREAK INTO A REMOTE COMPUTER.
STEP-BY-STEP NETBIOS HACKING PROCEDURE
1.Open command prompt
2. In the command prompt use the “net view” command ( OR YOU CAN ALSO USE “NB Scanner” OPTION IN “IP-TOOLS” SOFTWARE BY ENTERING RANGE OF IP ADDRESSS.BY THIS METHOD YOU CAN SCAN NUMBER OF COMPUTERS AT A TIME).
The above is an example for operation using command prompt.”net view” is one of the netbios command to view the shared resources of the remote computer.Here “219.64.55.112″ is an IP addressof remote computer that is to be hacked through Netbios.You have to substitute a vlaid IP address in it’s place.If succeeded a list of HARD-DISK DRIVES & PRINTERS are shown.If not an error message is displayed. So repeat the procedure 2 with a different IP address.
3. After succeeding, use the “net use” command in the command prompt.The “net use” is another netbios command which makes it possible to hack remote drives or printers.
NOTE: In Examples 1,2 & 3, D:,G: & I: are the Network Drive Names that are to be created on your computer to access remote computer’s hard-disk.
NOTE: GIVE DRIVE NAMES THAT ARE NOT USED BY ANY OTHER DRIVES INCLUDING HARD-DISK DRIVES,FLOPPY DRIVES AND ROM-DRIVES ON YOUR COMPUTER.THAT IS IF YOU HAVE C: & D: AS HARD DIRVES, A: AS FLOPPY DIVE AND E: AS CD-DRIVE, GIVE F: AS YOUR SHARED DRIVE IN THE COMMAND PROMPT
F:,”SharedDocs” are the names of remote computer’s hard-disk’s drives that you want to hack. “Myprint” is the name of remote computer’s printer.These are displayed after giving “net use” command. “219.64.55.112″ is the IP address of remote computer that you want to hack.
4. After succeeding your computer will give a message that “The commandcompleted successfully“. Once you get the above message you are only one step away from hacking the computer.
Now open “My Computer” you will see a new “Hard-Disk drive”(Shared) with the specified name.You can open it and access remote computer’s Hard-Drive.You can copy files,music,folders etc. from victim’s hard-drive.You can delete/modify data on victim’s hard-drive only if WRITE-ACCESS is enabled on victim’s system.You can access files\folders quickly through “Command Prompt”.
NOTE: If Remote Computer’s Firewall Is Enabled Your Computer Will Not Succeed In Gaining Access To Remote Computer Through Netbios.That is Netbios Hacking Is Not Possible In This Situation.(An Error Message Is Displayed).So Repeat The Procedure 2,3 With Different IP Address.
Here in this post I will try to give you every possible information to hide the IP address.If you seriously want to hide your IP addressthen this post is for you!
One of the most frequently asked questions by the internet users is How To Hide IP Address ?. Many times it becomes necessary to hide the real IP address for the sake of privacy.For this, I have tried many softwares, proxy servers and many such tools that guaranteed to hide my IP address.But still none of them worked for me. I think most of you have the same experience.Are you fed up with these dummy softwares that fails to hide the real IP address?Then is there any working way to hide the IP address?
YES, you can definitely hide your IP .
Now I’ll come to the heart of the post, which contains the answer to your curious question How to Hide the IP address ? The only solution to hide your IP address is by using a Proxy Server.But Wait! The story doesn’t end here.Even though proxy servers are the only way to hide your IP address, there are several ways of connecting your PC to the proxy server.Before setting up the connection with the proxy servers you must know some information about different types of proxy servers and their uses.
1. Transparent Proxy Server This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and also makes the original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally used to speedup the web browsing since thay have a very good ability to cache websites.But they do not conceal the IP of it’s users. It is widely known as transparent proxy because it will expose your real IP address to the web.This type of proxy server does not hide your IP address.
2. Anonymous ProxyServer This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
3. Distorting ProxyServer This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
4. High Anonymity ProxyServer ( Elite Proxy) This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.So this is the best way to mask your IP.
Which Proxy Server is the best to Hide My IP ?
I know, you can answer this question better than me.Obviously High Anonymity Proxy or Elite Proxy is the best to hide your IP.But it’s not easy to get a list of working elite proxies.If you search the Google, you will definitely get tons of proxy list.You’ll get a list of proxies in the following format
IP:Port Number Eg: 221.90.45.67:8080 (221.90.45.67 is the IP of the proxy server and 8080 is the port number) But most of them don’t work.Here are some of the problems/risks associated with using free proxies that are available on the internet.
Most of them do not work since the proxy servers frequently changes it’s IP/Port number.
Even if you find a working proxy server it may be too slow.
Your privacy is not guaranteed since all your traffic is routed through the proxy server.
The administrators of the proxy servers may steal your valuable information such as passwords,SSN (Social security number),Credit Card details etc.
So with all these being the risks then how to find a Working,fast,Highly Anonymous and secured Proxy servers?
Now I will give a list of softwares that will really hide your IP address.I have tried many such softwares and have found only few of them working perfectly.Here is a list of working IP Hiding softwares that you can try.I have listed them in the order of their popularity
Once you get your real IP, switch on your IP hiding software.Now once again visit the above site and check your IP address.If you see a new IP then this means that your software is doing the right job.Also the above site(Whatismyipaddress.com) is capable of detecting many proxies.If you see the words such as “Suspected proxy server or network sharing device” or similar words then it means that the proxy you are using is not an Elite Proxy.
One Final Word before you leave! Even though Elite proxies are almost undetectable this doesn’t mean that you can escape from online crimes by hiding your IP.There are many proxy detecting services available which detect almost any proxy.So if you involve in any cyber crimes then you will definitely be behind the bars.Using proxy will not help you in this case.
One More thing, It is unsafe to use proxy during e-commerce transactions such as Online banking,Online Credit Card payment etc.So please avoid proxies during these circumstances.
Proxy is a network computer that can serve as an intermediate for connection with other computers. They are usually used for the following purposes:
As firewall, a proxy protects the local network from outside access.
As IP-addresses multiplexer, a proxy allows to connect a number of computers to Internet when having only one IP-address.
Proxy servers can be used (to some extent) to anonymize web surfing.
Specialized proxy servers can filter out unwanted content, such as ads or ‘unsuitable’ material.
Proxy servers can afford some protection against hacking attacks.
Anonymizers
Anonymizers are services that help make your own web surfing anonymous.
The first anonymizer developed was Anonymizer.com, created in 1997 by Lance Cottrell.
An anonymizer removes all the identifying information from a user’s computers while the user surfs the Internet, thereby ensuring the privacy of the user.
Most of you may be curious to know how to find the IP address of your friend’s computer or to find the IP address of the person with whom you are chatting in Yahoo messenger or Gtalk. In this post I’ll show you how to find the IP address of a remote computer in simple steps.
I have created a PHP script to make it easier for you to find the IP address of the remote computer of your choice. Here is a step-by-step process to find out the IP address.
2. Open a new account in X10Hosting (or any free host that supports PHP).
3. Extract the IP_Finder.ZIP file and upload the two files ip.php and ip_log.txt into the root folder of your hosting account using the File Manager.
4. You can rename the ip.php to any name of your choice.
5. Set the permission to 777 on ip_log.txt.
Now you are all set to find the IP address of your friend or any remote computer of your choice. All you have to do is send the link of ip.php to your friend or the person with whom you’re chatting. Once the person click’s on the link, his/her IP address is recorded in the file ip_log.txt.
For your better understanding let’s take up the following example.
Suppose you open a new account in X10hosting.com with the subdomain as abc, then your IP Finder link would be
You have to send the above link to you friend via email or while chatting and ask him to visit that link. Once your friend clicks on the link, his IP address will be recorded along with the Date and Time in theip_log.txt file. After recording the IP address, the script will redirect the person to google.com so as to avoid any suspicion.
To find the recorded IP address check the logs using the following link.
79.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:27 PM 59.45.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:28 PM 123.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:31 PM
NOTE: You have to replace abc with your subdomain name.

The most frequent question asked by many people especially in a chat room is How to Hack an Email Account? So you as the reader are most likely reading this because you want to hack into some one’s email account. Most of the sites on the internet teach you some nonsense and outdated tricks to hack an email. But here are some of the real and working ways that can be used to hack an email account.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE PROCEEDING
Before you learn the real ways to hack an email, the following are the things you should be aware of.
1. There is no ready made software that can hack emails just with a click of a button. Please don’t waste your money on such scam softwares.
2. Never trust any hacking services that claims to hack email passwords just for $100 or $200. Often people get fooled by these services and eventually loose their money with no gain.
3. With my experience of over 6 years in the field of Hacking and Security, I can tell you that there exists only 2 foolproof methods to hack an email. All the other methods are simply scam or don’t work. The following are the only 2 foolproof methods that work.
1. EASIEST WAY TO HACK AN EMAIL ACCOUNT
Today, with the advent of a program called Keylogger it’s just a cakewalk to hack an email account. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the victim’s computer. Using a keylogger is the easiest way to hack an email account. Any one with a basic knowledge of computer can use the keylogger and within few hours you can hack any email account.
A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. Using a keylogger is the easiest way to hack an email account. A keylogger program can be installed just in a few seconds and once installed you are only a step away from getting the victim’s password.
2. Where is the keylogger program available?
A keylogger program is widely available on the internet. Some of the best ones are listed below
3. How to install it? You can install these keyloggers just as any other program but these things you must keep in mind. While installing, it asks you to set a secret password and a hot key combination. This is because, after installation the keylogger program is completely hidden and the victim can no way identify it. So, you need the Hot Key combination and secret password to later unhide the keylogger.
4. Once installed how to get password from it?
The hacker can open the keylogger program by just pressing the hot keys (which is set during installation) and enter the password. Now it shows the logs containing every keystroke of the user,where it was pressed, at what time, including screenshots of the activities. These logs contain the password of the victim’s email account.
5. I don’t have physical access to the victim’s target computer, what can I do?
It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the victim’s computer. Because keyloggers like SniperSpyoffers Remote Installation Feature. With this feature it is possible to remotely install the keylogger on the victim’s PC.
You can attach the keylogger with any file such as image, MS excel file or other programs and send it to the victim via email. When the victim runs the file, it will automatically get installed without his knowledge and start recording every activity on his computer. These activities are sent to you by the keylogger software via email or FTP.
6. What is the best way to deploy the keylogger onto remote PC?
Instead of sending the keylogger as an email attachment, it is recommended that you place the file in .ZIP/.RAR format and upload it to www.hotlinkfiles.com. After uploading, just send the direct download link to the victim via email. Once he downloads the file from this link and run it, the keylogger will get installed automatically.
7. How can a keylogger hack the Email password?
Hacking an email password using keylogger is as simple as this: You install the keylogger on a Remote PC (or on your local PC). The victim is unaware of the presence of the keylogger on his computer. As usual, he logs into his Email account by typing the username and password. This username and password is recorded and sent to you via Email. Now you have the password of your target email account.
In case if you install the keylogger on your local PC, you can obtain the recorded email password just by unhiding the keylogger program (use your hot key and password to unhide).
8. Which Keylogger is the best?
I recommend SniperSpy as the best for the following reasons.
1. SniperSpy is fully compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista. But Winspy has known compatible issues with Vista. So if your PC or the remote PC runs Vista then Winspy is not recommended.
2. SniperSpy is more reliable than Win-Spy since the logs sent will be received and hosted by SniperSpy servers. You need not rely on your email account to receive the logs.
2. Unlike Winspy, Sniperspy doesn’t require anything to be installed on your computer. To monitor the remote PC all you have to do is just login to your SniperSpy account from your browser.
3. SniperSpy is more easy to use and faster than Winspy.
Apart from the above mentioned reasons, both SniperSpy and WinSpystands head-to-head. However in my opinion it’s better to go for SniperSpy since it is the best one. I have tested tons of keyloggers and the only two that stood up were SniperSpy and Winspy.
So what are you waiting for? If you’re serious to hack an email account then go grab either of the two keyloggers now!
For more information on these two softwares visit the following links
The other most commonly used trick to sniff password is using Fake Login Pages. Today, Fake login pages are the most widely used techniques to hack an email account. A Fake Login page is a page that appears exactly as a Login page but once we enter our password there, we end up loosing it.
Fake login pages are created by many hackers on their sites which appear exactly as Gmail or Yahoo login pages but the entered details(username & pw) are redirected to remote server and we get redirected to some other page. Many times we ignore this but finally we loose our valuable data.
However creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack an email account is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc.
I hope this info has helped you. Happy Email Hacking!
This program is an example of how to create a virus in c.This program demonstrates a simple virus program which upon execution (Running) creates a copy of itself in the other file.Thus it destroys other files by infecting them. But the virus infected file is also capable of spreading the infection to another file and so on.Here’s the source code of the virus program.
