Common e-mail hacking methods

ARTICLE BY GOWTHAM
Gone are the days when email
hacking was a sophisticated art.
Today any body can access
hacking tips through the Internet
andstart hacking your yahoo or
hotmail account. All that is
needed is doing a search on
google with keywords like “how
to hack yahoo”, “hack yahoo
messenger”, “hotmail hack
program” etc. The following
article is not an effort to teach
you email hacking, but it has
more to do with raising
awareness on some common
email hacking methods.
Hackers can install keylogger
programs in the victim’s
computer. This program can spy
on what the user types from the
keyboard. If you think that you
can just uninstall such programs,
you are wrong as they are
completely hidden. After
installation, the hacker will use a
password and hot keys to enable
the keylogger. He can then use
the hot keys and password to
access your key entry details.
A keylogger program is widely
available on the internet.some of
them are listed below
Win-Spy Monitor
Realtime Spy
SpyAgent Stealth
Spy Anywhere
For more information on
keyloggers and it’s usage refer
my post Hacking an email
account.
Even if direct access to your
computer is not possible, hackers
canstill install a key logger from
a remote place and access your
computer using Remote
Administration Tools (RATs).
Another way of getting your
password is the use of fake login
pages that look exactly like the
real one. So, beware of the web
pages you visit. Also if you find
your computer behaving oddly,
there is a chance that some spy
program is running. On such
occasions it is better to try and
remove the malware or reformat
the entire hard disk.A detailed
Email Hacking tutorial is
discussed in the post Hacking an
email account.

How to install windows7 through USB

ARTICLE BY GOWTHAM
Installing
Windows
froma
USB flash
drive has
several
advantages – First of all, the
overall speed of the installation
process will increase
significantly, carrying a USB stick
is much more convenient than a
DVD, and finally it becomes
possible to install the OS even on
those systems that do not have a
DVD drive, such as a netbook.
In this post, I will show you how
to load the Windows installation
on to your USB flash drive and
make it bootable just like the
DVD.
Tools Required:
1. USB flash drive with a
minimum capacity of 4 GB.
2. Windows 7 set-up DVD.
Step-1: Plug-in your USB flash
drive and backup all the existing
data in it.
Step-2: Open the command
prompt. If you are using
Windows 7/Vista then open it
with administrator rights*.
* Goto Start -> All Programs ->
Accessories -> Right-click on
“Command Prompt” and select
“Run as Administrator”.
Step 3: In the command prompt,
type in the following command:
DISKPART
This will start the Microsoft
DiskPart utility as shown below:
Now issue the following
command:
LIST DISK
This will show you a list of
available disks on your system.
Disk 0 is usually the hard disk. In
my case, Disk 5 is the USB drive
(this can be a different one in
your case). Now issue the
command as shown below:
SELECT DISK 5
NOTE: In the above command, 5
is the USB drive number on my
system. If you have a different
number on your system, then
you need to replace 5 with that
number.
Step-4: Now issue the following
list of commands one by one as
shown below:
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
ASSIGN
EXIT
Minimize the command prompt
and proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Insert the Windows 7/
Vista installation disc and note
down the “drive letter” of your
DVD drive. In my case, it is “H:”.
Now type the following list of
commands as shown below:
H: CD BOOT
CD BOOT
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 M:(NOTE: M: is your USB drive letter)
EXIT
Step-6: Copy the contents of your
Windows 7/Vista installation disk
into the USB flash drive.
That’s it! Your USB stick is now
ready to boot and install the OS
for you. Don’t forget to enable
the “USB Boot” option and
change the “boot priority to USB
device from hard disk” in your
BIOS settings.
I hope you like this post. Pass
