Cool Trick

Cool Trick

If you are very much conscious about your space on hard drive, then a good idea would be uninstalling some unwanted application of windows such, which are never used, like Windows Messenger, but can’t find them on Add and Remove list, then try this one open notepad and open the file located in SystemRoot ( generally c:/> ) /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, once you have open the file then find the word “hide” in the file and simply delete it.
Now go to Add and Remove programs, Find the application, and uninstall it. Alternatively you can use this one to uninstall window messenger, click on run (start>run) now put this line and hit enter to uninstall windows messenger:

RUNDLL32 ADVPACK.DLL,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\MSMSGS.INF,BLC.Remove

Similarly to install back windows messenger just run this line:

RUNDLL32 ADVPACK.DLL,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\MSMSGS.INF,BLC.msmsgr

Enjoy!

Hacking Computers Over USB

Hacking Computers Over USB

I've previously written about the risks of small portable computing devices; how more and more data can be stored on them, and then lost or stolen. But there's another risk: if an attacker can convince you to plug his USB device into your computer, he can take it over.

Plug an iPod or USB stick into a PC running Windows and the device can literally take over the machine and search for confidential documents, copy them back to the iPod or USB's internal storage, and hide them as "deleted" files. Alternatively, the device can simply plant spyware, or even compromise the operating system. Two features that make this possible are the Windows AutoRun facility and the ability of peripherals to use something called direct memory access (DMA). The first attack vector you can and should plug; the second vector is the result of a design flaw that's likely to be with us for many years to come.
The article has the details, but basically you can configure a file on your USB device to automatically run when it's plugged into a computer. That file can, of course, do anything you want it to.

Recently I've been seeing more and more written about this attack. Even i have tried this one on some of my friends and got success. Anyway, there is a defense from such kind of things, if you are thinking about AutoRun then AutoRun is just a bad idea. People putting CD-ROMs or USB drives into their computers usually want to see what's on the media, not have programs automatically run. Fortunately you can turn AutoRun off. A simple manual approach is to hold down the "Shift" key when a disk or USB storage device is inserted into the computer, and release it after 20 sec..


Disabling autorun

To Disable CD autorun, completely
1) Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
2) Go to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System.
3) Locate the entry for Turn autoplay off and modify it as you desire.

Uninstalling Windows from Command Prompt

Uninstalling Windows from Command Prompt

Uninstalling Windows from Command Prompt

One option included in Windows XP is the ability to uninstall XP if you performed an upgrade from Windows 98, 98SE, or Windows Me. The standard method of removing XP is achieved by booting into XP normally and uses the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. If you are unable to start XP normally, the second option is to load XP in Safe Mode then use the same tool. If you are unable to boot normally or boot into Safe Mode, XP can be removed by uninstalling from a Command Prompt. The procedure is as follows:

Important Note: This procedure is available only if a successful image of the previous operating system was created during the XP upgrade.

Start the computer to Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

At the command prompt, type cd\, and then press ENTER.

Type cd\windows\system32, and then press ENTER.

Type osuninst.exe, and then press ENTER.

On screen instructions will guide you through the uninstall process to revert to the previous operating system.

This procedure can only be performed by users logged on as Administrator or a user with administrative rights.
