Hacking Passwords!

Alight boyz and girls!! This is some of the coolest thing you would ever want to do. I am writing this article for educational purpose. Hacking is illegal, and should not be done. Be an ethical hacker, help save the world from the bad guyz. Alight enough said, before I tell you guys how hacking works and how you can start hacking, I want to tell you guys a few things about hacking. Hackers are the people who work for "security" ethically, to remove the bad guys. The crackers on the other hand are the people who destroy security, the bad guys. You don't want to be a bad boy, because there are lot of Hackers waiting to crack on the bad guys.

When it comes to hacking passwords, there are number of ways you can go. The most easiest way, that anyone can do it is "Key logger", no knowledge of programming required. The other popular method is brute force method, in this we look for possible keys to break the password until the key is actually found. The hardest and common hacking technique used to get the password is SQL injection.

First off key loggers, you can go on google type in "key logger" and you will find a lots of websites that will give you a key logger for limited time. Just click on one of the links download a key logger and you good to go. Key logger works in the background of your windows, that means no would know that it's working, and it records every single key that has been pressed. Amazing isnt it, all you gotta do is download a key logger, get familiarized and make your friends use your computer and boom. You can get their password.

Next method, which is brute force method is a very effective method but yet time consuming. In this method what happens is that let's say a website asks you to enter a password and it's only numbers and we assume that the person your trying to hack the account of had 6 characters. that means 6 numbers. You generate all the possible passwords there can be knowing it's 6 character number password. If you know this information, you can calculate number of possibilities (6^10)=60466176. we use 10 because there are 10 number (0-9). So you generate all the possibilities and compare it, and hack it. I made a c-program that generated all the possible passwords and using TCP/IP stack I checked it with the user name on that website.

The third method is SQL injection. This method is used by lot of people to hack passwords. SQL is used by all the website to store there username and password. So imagine going into the system and pulling out the password this is what SQL injection does. To do this you should have a very deep knowledge of programming, and hacking passwords for sites like facebook are almost impossible, because facebook has 7 layers of security before you can get to their SQL data base.

These are some of the techniques used by people out there to get passwords. So do it, have fun, and remember be an ethical hacker.

How to save your Laptop batteries!!

Did u buy a new laptop and in a year or so your battery died?? Does that sound familiar. So basically in this blog i'll tell you how to save your laptop battery. This are some of the things you can do to extend your battery life. NOTE: Your battery will eventually die, you cant do nothing about it. But you can extend your battery life by doing following things:

1) When you plug your computer using your power supply, take out your battery. If you want to charge your battery only then keep your battery inside, or else take it out, what happens is that when you leave your battery inside and is fully charged the current has to go through your battery in order for your computer to work, so the computer takes a bit of power from your battery and keeps on charging it. This makes the battery life die more faster.

2) Use the battery only when needed. If you have a outlet where you can plug your computer, take out your battery and use the power supply! This not only saves your battery but it also keeps your computer cool. When you have a battery inside, laptop gets much hotter.

3) When you are using your laptop on the battery mode make sure you use the laptop on that mode until your battery fully discharges, and then charge it. Do not charge the battery when it's half done!

4)Never keep a full battery for more then a week. Use it at least once, always keep your battery discharged, if your not going to use it. If you are going on a train or bus and you need battery, charge it right before you go.

5)Keep the contact between your battery and laptop clean!

My first blog!!

Hello world. This is my first blog, I wanted to talk about somethings that are happening. I have reading week coming up starting from Monday. I have a lot of things to work on. I have to work on my EDP (Engineering Design Project), I also have 5 midterms coming up. I have few assignments due right after reeding week. so that's going to be crazy, but I got some good news today, I got accepted for TEDx Waterloo event. Which is amazing, for the people who dont know what TED is TED stands for Technology Entertainment and Design. This is a great way to meet all the smart people, all the PHD's, all the big guns. But unfortunately I cannot attend this because I have a midterm on Feb 26, 2010 and the TEDx event is on Feb, 25, 2010. I am kind of disappointed with that, but it's all good. Other then that everything was good.
