BlackHat security

The article below explains the most popular ways used to hack myspace account passwords. I came across many myspace password hacking ways- some working …some not. So, i thought of collecting all these working myspace methods/ways of hacking myspace account password in this myspace article.

I will cover 4 methods over here:
1. Myspace Phishing.
2. Keylogging
3. Social engineering
4. Hacker virus at myspace.

So, lets start…

Hack Myspace Account password

1. Myspace Phishing:

I have taken this myspace hacking method first because i think this is the most popular method/way to hack myspace private account. I studied various surveys taken on web about hacking myspace. The results of these surveys show “Phishing” as the most used method to hack myspace and to note…”Phishing is favorite method of hackers”. So, friends.. beware of Phishing. Myspace staff is working hard to avoid these phishers. Phishing not only allows you to hack myspace but also almost any email account. You have to only get the trick used to make a phisher, which i think is very easy. I learnt it without any difficulty. But, remember, this is only for educational purpose. I will not extend this topic over here as i have added more on Phishing in my article Hack Myspace account password by Myspace Phisher

2.Keylogging:

This is my second favorite, as only thing you have to do is remotely install a keylogger (if you don't have any physical access to victim computer). Keylogging becomes more easy if you have physical access to victim computer as only thing you have to do is install a keylogger and direct it to your destination so that it will send all recorded myspace account passwords to pointed destination. What a keylogger does is it records the keystrokes into a log file and then you can use this log to get required myspace password and thus can hack myspace account. You can use Ardamax keylogger or Winspy Keylogger to hack myspace account password.

3. Social engineering:

This sounds to be pretty not working at beginning. Even i was neglecting this way. But, once, i thought of using it against my friend on orkut and i got his gmail password very easily by this method. I think many of you might be knowing how what this social engg is. For newbies, social engg is method of retrieving password or answer of security question simply by quering with the victim. You have to be very careful while using this as victim must not be aware of your intention. Just ask him cautiously using your logic.

4. Hacker virus:

I was not knowing about this method used by myspace hackers at myspace until i read this article. I wasn't knowing that myspace viruses are being circulated over myspace and was considering myspace as safe. But to my surprise, i was wrong. So, friends, be cautious while surfing myspace.

So far, i found these myspace hacking methods as best and working ways to hack myspace account passwords. I never encourage hacking myspace or any email account…just wanna make you cognizant about myspace dangers online. I will appreciate your effort if you mention any other method you found great….

MySpace is one of the most widely used Social Networking website by many teenagers and adults acropss the globe. I have seen many cheaters create secret Myspace accounts in order to exchange messages with another person and have secret relationships. So, it’s no wonder many people want to know how to hack a Myspace account. In this post I’ll give you the real and working ways to hack a Myspace.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE PROCEEDING

With my experience of about 6 years in the field of Hacking and IT security, I can tell you that there are only TWO ways to hack a Myspace: They are Keylogging and Phishing. All the other ways are scams! Here is a list of facts about Myspace hacking.

1. There is no ready made software or program that can hack Myspace just by entering the target username or URL. If you come accross a site that claims to sell a program to hack Myspace then it’s 100% scam.

2. Never trust any Hacking Service that claims to hack a Myspace account just for $100 or $200. All the them are scams.

The following are the only 2 foolproof methods to hack Myspace.

1. HOW TO HACK MYSPACE – The Easiest Way

The easiest way to hack Myspace is by using a keylogger (Spy Software). It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the target computer. Hacking Myspace becomes just a cakewalk if you use a keylogger since it doesn’t need any technical knowledge. Anyone with a basic knowledge of computers can use keyloggers.

1. What is a keylogger?

A keylogger is a small program that monitors each and every keystroke that a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. A keylogger is also called as a Spy software or Spy program.

2. Where is keylogger program available?

There exists tons of keyloggers on the internet, but most of them are useless and doesn’t turn out to be effective. But with my experience I recommend the following keylogger as the best to hack Myspce since it supports remote installation.

3. How to install a keylogger?

Keyloggers can be installed just like any other program. At the installation time, you need to set your secret password and hotkey combination, to unhide the keylogger program whenever it is needed. This is because, after installation the keylogger becomes completely invisible and start running in the background. Because of it’s stealth behaviour the victim can never come to know about that the presence of the keylogger software on his/her computer.

4. I don’t have physical access to the target computer, can I still use Sniperspy?

It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the victim’s computer.
Because SniperSpy offers Remote Installation Feature. So, you can hack Myspace remotely installing the keylogger on the target 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. The logs containing these activities are sent to you by the keylogger software via email or FTP.

5. What if the target user (victim) refuses to run the attached file?

Sometimes the victim may refuse to run the attachment that you send via email because of suspicion.

6. How can a keylogger hack Myspace account?

You can hack Myspace using keylogger as follows: 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 Myspace account by typing the Myspace username and password. These details are recorded and sent to your Sniperspy account. You can login to your Sniperspy account to see the password. Now you have successfully hacked the Myspace account.

In case if you install the keylogger on your local PC, you can obtain the recorded Myspace password just by unhiding the keylogger program.

7. Why SniperSpy is the best?

I have given a complete review of SniperSpy in my new post Which Spy Software to Choose. This should answer your question.

So what are you waiting for? Go grab it.

2. HOW TO HACK MYSPACE – Other Ways

Phishing

Phising is the most commonly used method to hack MySpace. The most widely used technique in phishing is the use of Fake Login Pages, also known as spoofed pages. These fake login pages resemble the original login pages of sites like Yahoo, Gmail, MySpace etc. The victim is fooled to believe the fake Myspace page to be the real one and enter his/her password. But once the user attempts to login through these pages, his/her Myspace login details are stolen away.
Phishing is proved to be the most effective way to hack Myspace and also has high success rate. The reason for this is quite simple. The users are not aware of the phishing attack. Also the users are fooled, since the fake login pages imitate the appearance of the original pages. So, you may use the phishing technique to hack your friend’s MySpace account (just for fun). But you must have a detailed technical knowledge of HTML and server side scripting languages (php, perl etc.) to create a fake login page.

Hello friends. I am back with complete new hacking topic - hacking computer remotely. In this article on remote computer hacking, I will inform you about hacking software to hack computer remotely. This software is called "Prorat" is a RAT (Remote administration Tool) used to hack computer remotely.

RATs :

RATs also called as Remote Administration tools are popularly used softwares to control other computer remotely and considering hacking aspects, hack computer remotely. There are many RATs such as:
Prorat
Turkojan
Yuri RAT and many other.

Working of RATs:

To hack computer remotely using a RAT, you have to create a server and then send this server to victim whose you wanna hack computer remotely. Generally, this server is binded to any file say picture or song, so that whenever victim opens this file on his computer, our server is installed and this server opens port of victim computer and by using this opened port, you are able to hack computer remotely.

It is this RAT server that then sends all system information to PRORAT and we can then hack computer remotely using PRORAT.

Things you can do by hacking computer remotely:

Once you gain access to remote computer, you can hack computer remotely and perform any of following:

# Install a keylogger
# Monitor Chat windows
# Shutdown computer remotely
# Take control of system registry
# Hack locally stored passwords and licence keys
# Download additional malware and servers to gain stronger control
# Control and access all Control Panel options(including add or remover programs)
# Send various Error messages
# Access Printer services
# Erase all disk data by formatting drives
# Open FTP connection and start file transaction

Thus, you are able to hack computer remotely 100%. This software to hack computer remotely is hence very popular.

Disadvantage of remote hacking software RAT:

The main disadvantage of this software - RAT is that the server created to hack computer remotely is recognized by most antiviruses as hacktool and hence, antiviruses send alert messages when installing RAT server.
But, there are many softwares like Binders or Crypters to hide RAT server and prevent antiviruses from sending alerts. Even there are softwares like AVkiller which is used to turn antivirus inactive and then our server (used to hack computer remotely) can be installed on victim computer very easily.

This is all about RATs - softwares to hack computer remotely. In my next article, i will inform about server creation and installation on remote computer. If you have any problem with this article on how to hack computer remotely, please mention it in comments section.

[Note, This is the Setup.exe from their site...I just found a working Name/Key so you can have the full version]

Key: RTHUUGQVAWDFOQT

Warning : For educational purpose only

i know dis is lame but just would like to share wid u.
have nothing for next half an hour so typing it.. lol

here are many ways to defeat java-script protected websites. Some are very simplistic, such as hitting
[ctl-alt-del ]when the password box is displayed, to simply turning offjava capability, which will dump you into the default page.You can try manually searching for other directories, by typing the directory name into the url address box of your browser, ie: you want access to www.target.com .

Try typing www.target.com/images .(almost ever y web site has an images directory) This will put you into the images directory,and give you a text list of all the images located there. Often, the title of an image will give you a clue to the name of another directory. ie: in www.target.com/images, there is a .gif named gamestitle.gif . There is a good chance then, that there is a ‘games’ directory on the site,so you would then type in www.target.com/games, and if it isa valid directory, you again get a text listing of all the files available there.

For a more automated approach, use a program like WEB SNAKE from anawave, or Web Wacker. These programs will create a mirror image of an entire web site, showing all director ies,or even mirror a complete server. They are indispensable for locating hidden files and directories.What do you do if you can’t get past an opening “PasswordRequired” box? . First do an WHOIS Lookup for the site. In our example, www.target.com . We find it’s hosted by www.host.com at 100.100.100. 1.

We then go to 100.100.100.1, and then launch Web Snake, and mirror the entire server. Set Web Snake to NOT download anything over about 20K. (not many HTML pages are bigger than this) This speeds things up some, and keeps you from getting a lot of files and images you don’t care about. This can take a long time, so consider running it right before bed time. Once you have an image of the entire server, you look through the directories listed, and find /target. When we open that directory, we find its contents, and all of its sub-directories listed. Let’s say we find /target/games/zip/zipindex.html . This would be the index page that would be displayed had you gone through the password procedure, and allowed it to redirect you here.By simply typing in the url www.target.com/games/zip/zipindex.html you will be onthe index page and ready to follow the links for downloading.

u know why is it a “user” account because it lacks come service layer than that in “administrator” account

Using simple command line tools on a machine running Windows XP we will obtain system level privileges, and run the entire explorer process (Desktop), and all processes that run from it have system privileges. The system run level is higher than administrator, and has full control of the operating system and it’s kernel. On many machines this can be exploited even with the guest account. At the time I’m publishing this, I have been unable to find any other mention of people running an entire desktop as system, although I have seen some articles regarding the SYSTEM command prompt.

Local privilege escalation is useful on any system that a hacker may compromise; the system account allows for several other things that aren’t normally possible (like resetting the administrator password).

The Local System account is used by the Windows OS to control various aspects of the system (kernel, services, etc); the account shows up as SYSTEM in the Task Manager

Local System differs from an Administrator account in that it has full control of the operating system, similar to root on a *nix machine. Most System processes are required by the operating system, and cannot be closed, even by an Administrator account; attempting to close them will result in a error message. The following quote from Wikipedia explains this in a easy to understand way:

You can trick the system into running a program, script, or batch file with system level privileges.

One sample

One trick is to use a vulnerability in Windows long filename support.
Try placing an executable named Program.*, in the root directory of the “Windows” drive. Then reboot. The system may run the Program.*, with system level privileges. So long as one of the applications in the “Program Files” directory is a startup app. The call to “Program Files”, will be intercepted by Program.*.

Microsoft eventually caught on to that trick. Now days, more and more, of the startup applications are being coded to use limited privileges.

Quote:

In Windows NT and later systems derived from it (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista), there may or may not be a superuser. By default, there is a superuser named Administrator, although it is not an exact analogue of the Unix root superuser account. Administrator does not have all the privileges of root because some superuser privileges are assigned to the Local System account in Windows NT.

Under normal circumstances, a user cannot run code as System, only the operating system itself has this ability, but by using the command line, we will trick Windows into running our desktop as System, along with all applications that are started from within.
Getting SYSTEM
I will now walk you through the process of obtaining SYSTEM privileges.
To start, lets open up a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd > [ENTER]).
At the prompt, enter the following command, then press [ENTER]:
Code:
at

If it responds with an “access denied” error, then we are out of luck, and you’ll have to try another method of privilege escalation; if it responds with “There are no entries in the list” (or sometimes with multiple entries already in the list) then we are good. Access to the at command varies, on some installations of Windows, even the Guest account can access it, on others it’s limited to Administrator accounts. If you can use the at command, enter the following commands, then press [ENTER]:

Code:
at 15:25 /interactive “cmd.exe”

Lets break down the preceding code. The “at” told the machine to run the at command, everything after that are the operators for the command, the important thing here, is to change the time (24 hour format) to one minute after the time currently set on your computers clock, for example: If your computer’s clock says it’s 4:30pm, convert this to 24 hour format (16:30) then use 16:31 as the time in the command. If you issue the at command again with no operators, then you should see something similar to this:

When the system clock reaches the time you set, then a new command prompt will magically run. The difference is that this one is running with system privileges (because it was started by the task scheduler service, which runs under the Local System account). It should look like this:

You’ll notice that the title bar has changed from cmd.exe to svchost.exe (which is short for Service Host). Now that we have our system command prompt, you may close the old one. Run Task Manager by either pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE or typing taskmgr at the command prompt. In task manager, go to the processes tab, and kill explorer.exe; your desktop and all open folders should disappear, but the system command prompt should still be there.
At the system command prompt, enter in the following:

Code:
explorer.exe

A desktop will come back up, but what this? It isn’t your desktop. Go to the start menu and look at the user name, it should say “SYSTEM”. Also open up task manager again, and you’ll notice that explorer.exe is now running as SYSTEM. The easiest way to get back into your own desktop, is to log out and then log back in.

System user name on start menu

explorer.exe running under SYSTEM

What to do now
Now that we have SYSTEM access, everything that we run from our explorer process will have it too, browsers, games, etc. You also have the ability to reset the administrators password, and kill other processes owned by SYSTEM. You can do anything on the machine, the equivalent of root; You are now God of the Windows machine. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

ADMINISTRATOR IN WELCOME SCREEN.

When you install Windows XP an Administrator Account is created (you are asked to supply an administrator password), but the “Welcome Screen” does not give you the option to log on as Administrator unless you boot up in Safe Mode.
First you must ensure that the Administrator Account is enabled:
1 open Control Panel
2 open Administrative Tools
3 open Local Security Policy
4 expand Local Policies
5 click on Security Options
6 ensure that Accounts: Administrator account status is enabled Then follow the instructions from the “Win2000 Logon Screen Tweak” ie.
1 open Control Panel
2 open User Accounts
3 click Change the way users log on or log off
4 untick Use the Welcome Screen
5 click Apply Options
You will now be able to log on to Windows XP as Administrator in Normal Mode.

EASY WAY TO ADD THE ADMINISTRATOR USER TO THE WELCOME SCREEN.!!

Start the Registry Editor Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Winlogon SpecialAccounts UserList
Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value Name the new value Administrator. Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it’s Value data. Close the registry editor and restart.

dont hack others buddy be ethical !!!  ... lolz ;)

There are two ways two change your IP on Windows. The easy way, and the hard way. Ill discuss how to do both of them in this tutorial.

Easy Way:

The first way to change it is, if your NIC (Network Interface Card) supports cloning your MAC Address. If this is the case then you go to.

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections

Right Click on your NIC card and goto properties. Then click the button labeled Configure. It should bring up another form. Click on the advanced tab. You should see under Property “Locally Administered Address” or “Network Address”. Click the radio button next to the text box, and type in your new MAC address. (note you do not use the “-” when you enter your no MAC Address.

To check and see if it worked or not go to

Start > Run > and type in “cmd”

When the terminal comes up issue the command.

ipconfig /all
———————————————————————————————————————————————–

Hard Way:

To change your MAC Address the hard way, you first go to

Start > Run > and type in “cmd”

Once the terminal comes up type in

“net config rdr”

It should bring up alot of things, but what you are worried about is

NetBT_Tcpip_{ The Numbers Between here}

Copy the numbers in between there and write it down somewhere, seeing that you will need them later.

After you are done with that go to

Start > Run > and type in “regedt32″

That should bring up the windows registry. Once the registry is up go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

There r several ways u can determine ur IP address information:

IPCONFIG

Start / Run / cmd
IPCONFIG /ALL
This opens a command window. One advantage is that u can send the information to a text file (IPCONFIG /ALL > c:ip.txt)
But sometimes the window shows show much information u need to scroll around to fine it.

Identify Faulty Device Drivers

If u r having problems with lockups, blue screens, or can only get to safe mode,
often the problem is due to a faulty device driver.

One way to help identify them is through the use of the Verfier program

Start / Run / Verifier
Keep the default of Create Standard Settings
Select the type of drivers u want to confirm
A list of drivers to be verified on the next boot will be shown.
Reboot
If ur computer stops with a blue screen, u should get an error message with the problem driver
To turn off the Verifier, run verifier /reset
:::::::::::::
Viewing Installed Drivers

If u want to see a list of installed drivers, u can run the driverquery program
There r a lot of available switches to view different types of information.
On use can be to export to a CSV file 4 viewing in Excel
An example would then be:

Driverquery /v /fo csv > drivers.csv

surely comment here m waiting for comments ....

In here I have figure out some very easy but cool ways to trace out the geographical location and various other infos like ISP details etc of a remote computer using its IP.

Well I guess its one of the most important must learn manual for boys out there if you want to impress your friends particularly gals whom you’ll meet online in a chat room and tell them their geographical locations and ISP details and make them surprised and impressed .

In the practical execution of this manual you don’t have to work much as it is very simple only you have to use your brain to understand some symbols and some format of expressions and use your IQ to execute things the right way.

What is IP and how to get the IP of a remote system::

Getting the IP or Internet Protocol of a remote system is the most important and the first step of hacking into it. Probably it is the first thing a hacker do to get info for researching on a system. Well IP is a unique number assigned to each computer on a network. It is this unique address which represents the system on the network. Generally the IP of a particular system changes each time you log on to the network by dialing to your ISP and it is assigned to you by your ISP. IP of a system which is always on the network remains generally the same. Generally those kind of systems are most likely to suffer a hacking attack because of its stable IP. Using IP you can even execute system commands on the victim’s computer.

Lets take the example of the following IP address: 202.144.49.110 Now the first part, the numbers before the first decimal i.e. 209 is the Network number or the Network Prefix.. This means that it identifies the number of the network in which the host is. The second part i.e. 144 is the Host Number that is it identifies the number of the host within the Network. This means that in the same Network, the network number is same. In order to provide flexibility in the size of the Network, here are different classes of IP addresses:

Address Class Dotted Decimal Notation Ranges

Class A ( /8 Prefixes) 1.xxx.xxx.xxx through 126.xxx.xxx.xxx

Class B ( /16 Prefixes) 128.0.xxx.xxx through 191.255.xxx.xxx

Class C ( /24 Prefixes) 192.0.0.xxx through 223.255.255.xxx

The various classes will be clearer after reading the next few lines.

Each Class A Network Address contains a 8 bit Network Prefix followed by a 24-bit host number. They are considered to be primitive. They are referred to as “/8′’s” or just “8’s” as they have an 8-bit Network prefix.

In a Class B Network Address there is a 16 bit Network Prefix followed by a 16-bit Host number. It is referred to as “16’s”.

A class C Network address contains a 24-bit Network Prefix and a 8 bit Host number. It is referred to as

“24’s” and is commonly used by most ISP’s.

Due to the growing size of the Internet the Network Administrators faced many problems. The Internet routing tables were beginning to grow and now the administrators had to request another network number from the Internet before a new network could be installed at their site. This is where sub-netting came in.

Now if your ISP is a big one and if it provides you with dynamic IP addresses then you will most probably see that whenever you log on to the net, your IP address will have the same first 24 bits and only the last 8 bits will keep changing. This is due to the fact that when sub-netting comes in then the IP Addresses structure becomes:

xxx.xxx.zzz.yyy

where the first 2 parts are Network Prefix numbers and the zzz is the Subnet number and the yyy is the host number. So you are always connected to the same Subnet within the same Network. As a result the first 3 parts will remain the same and only the last part i.e. yyy is variable.

***********************

For Example, if say an ISP xyz is given the IP: 203.98.12.xx Network address then you can be awarded any IP, whose first three fields are 203.98.12. Get it?

So, basically this means that each ISP has a particular range in which to allocate all its subscribers. Or in other words, all subscribers or all people connected to the internet using the same ISP, will have to be in this range. This in effect would mean that all people using the same ISP are likely to have the same first three fields of their IP Addresses.

This means that if you have done a lot of (By this I really mean a lot) of research, then you could figure out which ISP a person is using by simply looking at his IP. The ISP name could then be used to figure out the city and the country of the person. Right? Let me take an example to stress as to how cumbersome but easy (once the research is done) the above method can be.

In my country, say there are three main ISP’s:

ISP Name Network Address Allotted

ISP I 203.94.47.xx

ISP II 202.92.12.xx

ISP III 203.91.35.xx

Now, if I get to know the IP of an e-pal of mine, and it reads: 203.91.35.12, then I can pretty easily figure out that he uses ISP III to connect to the internet. Right? You might say that any idiot would be able to do this. Well, yes and no. You see, the above method of finding out the ISP of a person was successful only because we already had the ISP and Network Address Allotted list with us. So, what my point is, that the above method can be successful only after a lot of research and experimentation. And, I do think such research can be helpful sometimes.

Also, this would not work, if you take it all on in larger scale. What if the IP that you have belongs to someone living in a remote igloo in the North Pole? You could not possibly get the Network Addresses of all the ISP’s in the world, could you? If yes please send it to me J.

Well now I guess you have pretty good knowledge about what an IP is and what you can do by knowing the IP of a remote system. Now lets come to the point of finding out the IP of remote system.

Well you can easily figure out the IP of a remote system using the netstat utility available in the microsoft’s version of DOS. The netstat command shows the connections in which your system is engaged to and the ports they are using. Suppose you are checking your mail in hotmail and you want to find out the IP of msn. All you need to do is to open a dos window (command.com) and type netstat. You will see all the open connections of your system. There you will see something :

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP abhisek:1031 64.4.xx.xx:80 ESTABLISHED

Now you got the IP address of hotmail ass 64.4.xx.xx .

Similarly you can figure out the IP address of most http or ftp connections.

To know your own IP type the following command in a dos windows

C:netstat –n

[this commands converts the IP name into IP addresses]

this is what you will probably see on typing the above command :

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1031 194.1.129.227:21 ESTABLISHED

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1043 207.138.41.181:80 FIN_WAIT_2

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1053 203.94.243.71:110 TIME_WAIT

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1058 194.1.129.227:20 TIME_WAIT

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1069 203.94.243.71:110 TIME_WAIT

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1071 194.98.93.244:80 ESTABLISHED

TCP 203.xx.251.161:1078 203.94.243.71:110 TIME_WAIT

Here 203.xx.251.161 is your IP address.

Now lets clarify the format used by netstat :

Proto : It shows the type of protocol the connection with the remote system is using.

Here TCP (transmission control protocol) is the protocol used by my system to connect to other systems.

Local Address : It shows the local address ie the local IP. When the netstat command is executed without –n switch then the name of the local system is displayed and when the netstat is executed with –n switch then the IP of the local system is displayed. Here you can also find out the port used by the connection.

xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:1024

in this format you will see the local address. Here 1024 is the port to which the remote system is connected in your system

Foreign Address :: It shows the IP address of the remote system to which your system is connected. In this case also if the netstat command is excuted with –n switch then you directly get the IP of the victim but if the netstat is executed without –n switch then you will get the address of the remote system. Something like

C:netstat

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP abhisek:1031 msgr.lw4.gs681.hotmail.com:80 ESTABLISHED

Here msgr.lw4.gs681.hotmail.com is the address of the foreign system . putting this address in any IP lookup program and doing a whois lookup will reveal the IP of the remote system.

Note: The port to which your system is connected can be found from this in the same way as I have shown in the case of local address. The difference is that, this is the port of the remote system to which your computer is connected to.

Below I have produced a list of ports and popular services generally found to be running.

21 :: FTP port

80 :: http port

23 :: Telnet port

Note: If your execute the netstat command and find ports like 12345,27374 are open and are in use then make it sure that your sweat heart computer is infected with her boyfriend.. J J J J I mean your computer is infected with some sort of Trojan.

Below I have produced a list of commonly known Trojans and the ports they use by default. So if you find these ports open then get a good virus buster and get these stupid servers of the Trojans kicked out. Well if you want to play with these Trojan by keeping them in your computer but not letting them ruin your system performance then just disble it from the system registry run and they wont be loaded to memory each time when windows starts up[This trick doesn’t work for all Trojans].

Netbus :: 12345(TCP)

Subseven :: 27374(TCP)

Girl Friend :: 21554(TCP)

Back Oriface :: 31337 (UDP)

Well guys and gals I hope you are now well familiar with the term IP and what is the utility of IP in cyber world and how to get the IP of a remote system to which you are connected. I hope you find my writings very easy to undertstand. I know I lack the capacity of explaining myself but I try my level best to make things very easy and clear for you’ll.

How to get the IP of a remote system while chatting through msn messenger ::

This is a tutorial on how to get IP address from MSN messenger. This is actually
a really easy thing to do. It is not like going through the hard time and reversing
MSN messenger like many people think.

The IP address is only given when you accept or are sending a file through MSN
messenger. When you send IM’s, the message is sent through the server thus hiding
your victims IP and your. But when you send a file or recieve a file, it is direct
connection between the two computers.

To obtain the IP accept a file transfer or send a file to the victim, when the file
sending is under way from the dos prompt type “netstat” without the quotation marks.
You should get a table like this:

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP kick:1033 msgr-ns29.msgr.hotmail.com:1863 ESTABLISHED
TCP kick:1040 msgr-sb36.msgr.hotmail.com:1863 ESTABLISHED
TCP kick: ESTABLISHED

The top name in the list is the server’s address for IMing. There could be many of
the second name in the list, as a new connection is made to the server for every
room you are IMing to. You are looking for the address of the remote host in
this table it may be something similar to “host63-7-102-226.ppp.cal.vsnl.com” or “203..64.90.6”.
without the quotation marks.
All you need to do now is to put this address in you IP lookup programe and get the IP of the remote system.

Well 50%of the work is done now. Now you know how to get the IP of a remote system, so its time to trace it down and find some details about the IP.

Tracing an IP is quite simple. You can do it the easy way by using some sweet softwares like Visual Trace 6.0b

[ftp://ftp.visualware.com/pub/vr/vr.exe]

Neotrace

[http://www.neoworx.com/download/NTX325.exe]

or by our way ie. Using MS DOS or any other version of DOS.

Well I suggest you to use DOS and its tracert tool for tracing the IP cause using it will give you a clear conception about the art of tracing an IP and I guarantee that you will feel much satisfied on success than using a silly software. Furthur you will know how things work and how the IP is traced down and the different networks associated in this tracing process.

Let us take a look at tracert tool provided for DOS by Microsoft.

It is a very handy tool for peoples need to trace down an IP.

Just open any DOS windows and type tracert.

C:windows>tracert

Usage: tracert [-d] [-h maximum_hops] [-j host-list] [-w timeout] target_name

Options:

-d Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.

-h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target.

-j host-list Loose source route along host-list.

-w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply.

You will now see a description of the tracert command and the switches associated with it.

Well these switches doesn’t makes much difference. All you can do is to increase the timeout in milliseconds by using –w switch if you are using a slow connection and the –d switch if you wish not resolve address to hostnames by default.

By default tracert performs a maximum of 30 hops trace. Using the –h switch you can specify the number of hops to perform.

Now its time for execution.

Let us trace down the IP yahoo.com [216.115.108.243]

TIP: If you have done a long research (I mean a lot) then simply looking at the IP you can figure out some info from it. For example the IP 203.90.68.8 indicates that the system is in India. In India IPs generally begin with 203 and 202

C:WINDOWS>tracert yahoo.com

Tracing route to yahoo.com [216.115.108.243] over a maximum of 30 hops:

16 666 ms 676 ms 674 ms yahoo.com [216.115.108.243]

Trace complete.

Note: Here I have traced yahoo.com. In place of yahoo.com you can give the IP of yahoo or any other IP you want to trace, the result will be the same.

Now carefully looking at the results you can figure out many information about yahoo’s server [216.115.108.243]

First packets of data leave my ISP which is at 203.94.246.35 .Similarly you can find out the different routers through which the packets of data are send and received to and from the target system. Now take a look at the 13th line you’ll see that the router is in PaloAlto.Teleglobe.net from this you can easily figure out that the router is in Palo Alto. Now finally look at the target system ie. Yahoo’s server vl20.bas1.snv.yahoo.com . Now you got the address of yahoo’s server. Now put this address in any IP lookup programe and perform and reverse DNS lookup and you will get most of the info about this address,like the place where it is in.

Well another thing you can find out using the tracert tool is that the number of hops (routers) the target system is away from you. In case of tracerouting yahoo.com we find that the target system ie yahoo’s server is 16 hops away from my system. This indicates that there are 16 routers between my system and yahoo’s server.

Apart from tracing an IP you can find out many usefull details about the target system using the tracert tool.

Firewall Detection

While tracerouting a target system, if you get * as an output then it indicates timeout error. Now if you peform another tracerout to the same taeget system at some other time with a good connection and in this way few times more and if you always get * as the output then take it for sure that the target system is running a firewall which prevents sending of data packets from the target system.

Example

Some days ago I tried to tracert hotmail’s server in plain and simple way using tracert without any trick.This is what I found out :

c:windows>tracert 64.4.53.7

I performed the same tracert many times a day but concluded with the same result. This indicates that the systems after the router SanJose1.Level3.net has firewalls installed which prevents the outgoing of data packets.

Detecting Traceroute Attempts on your System

You can detect that an attacker is performing a traceroute on your system, if you see the following symptoms:

1. If you observe port scans on very high UDP ports. This symptom means that the attacker has performed a traceroute on your system. However, it could also mean a simply port scan. Either way, it signifies the fact that your system is being scanned.

2. If the packet-monitoring tool installed in your network, picks up several outgoing TTL-exceeding messages, then it is yet another sign that someone is doing a traceroute on your system.

3. If in these log files, you also observer an outgoing ICMP port unreachable error message, then it means that since a traceroute was done on your system and as the target system i.e. your system, was reached, it responded with this error message.

You can also find our more information on the attacker (if he performs a traceroute on your system) by simply studying the sniffer log files. If you observer the TTL values, then we can easily figure out the following information on the attacker by making use of OS detection techniques discussed earlier in this white paper:

The Operating System running on the attacker’s target system.
Number of hops away, the attacker is from you.
