HAVE I BEEN HACKED?

2005-11-29T02:44:00.000-08:00

Use following tools to check out which processes are using what ports to send or receive info from your pc
Fport

This is a console utility that is run from the command line. When you run it, it will list all listening TCP/UDP ports on your system and the software that is using those ports.

TCPView

This is a similar program to Fport, but shows it in a graphical interface. This program not only shows listening ports, but also established and pending connect and closing connections.

Process Explorer

This program will list all open processes and delineate between the parent processes and the processes that are spawned by the parent.

PSTools

This is a collection of console command line tools that can list open processes, kill processes, as well as many other useful functions.

DOS/Windows Boot Disk ?
http://www.startdisk.com/ or http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

These sites enable you to create boot disks in which you will boot the computer.

Filealyzer

This tool adds a windows explorer shell extension to your right click on a file. When you use Filealyzer on that file you will be able to see a lot of information about the file. Information such as whether it?s a packed exe (save that for another tutorial) or the version information. What I use it for is the hex dump and then the ability to list the strings found in the binary file. From the strings you can gain a lot of useful information as to what the program does or is.

Dameware NT Utilities

This program allows you to remotely administer a computer/group of computers. I was hesitant to put this on as it is not freeware, but it is such a great utility.

Thanks for visiting hope this info helps !!!

Google hacks

2005-01-26T20:09:00.000-08:00

1) Some companies use a Xerox Product called DocuShare. The problem with this is by default guest access is enabled and it appears a lot of companies either don't care or don't know.
Click here for the Google search ==> intitle:"DocuShare" inurl:"docushare/dsweb/" -faq

2)This reveals mySQL database dumps. These database dumps list the structure and content of databases, which can reveal many different types of sensitive information.
Click here for the Google search ==> "#mysql dump" filetype:sql

3)hese pages contain trace information that was collected when the googlebot crawled a page. The information can include many different things such as path names, header information, server software versions and much more. Attackers can use information like this to formulate an attack against a site.

Click here for the Google search ==> "HTTP_FROM=googlebot" googlebot.com "Server_Software="

4)The terms "not for distribution" and confidential indicate a sensitive document. Results vary wildly, but web-based documents are for public viewing, and should neither be considered confidential or private.

Click here for the Google search ==> "not for distribution" confidential

5)This search gives hounderd of existing curriculum vitae with names and adress. An attacker could steal identity if there is an SSN in the document.
Click here for the Google search ==> "phone * * *" "address *" "e-mail" intitle:"curriculum vitae"

6)storing emails in your webtree isnt a good idea.

with this search google will show files containing emails like mail,eml,mbox or mbx with the keywords
"password" or "subject" in the mail data.

Click here for the Google search ==> ( filetype:mail | filetype:eml | filetype:mbox | filetype:mbx ) intext:password|subject

7)copy and paste in google and be amazed http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle:%22index+of%22+-inurl:htm+-inurl:html+images&hl=en&lr=&start=30&sa=N

Firefox hacks
Nota Bene: First type about:config in the adress bar and then just right click it to modify it, (Check out other about:config e.g. about:mozilla, about: cache", Rememeber experiment with some of the settings for getting the best out of your machine, Or you could just download configuration mania from the firefox themes site, http:// updates.mozilla.org

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Enough for this time lets see if i get any comments on this before i post anymore (Be Gentle!!). see ya!
