The Only Place For All Your Computer Solutions!!!

Linux..Linux..Linux...what is this linux?? Well all those who read computer magzines or tech stuff might be knowing about linux..but hey this blog is for absolute beginners with no computer experience..so i am going to enlighten those newbies ...

                                                         Ubuntu 9.10                                     

It is a well known fact that google is the most widely used search engine(around 80%).
But it is not known to many that while google-ingleads to easy acess to pubiclicly available info,it also can be used for accessing advanced info like C.V of people,downloading free music and all other stuff.Here is how it goes.You just need to type in special keywords for the various categories of data and you will be through!!

1. For C.V ,Personal info of people

Using Google it is possible to gain access to an email repository containing CV of hundreds of people which were created when applying for their jobs. The documents containing their Address, Phone, DOB, Education, Work experience etc. can be found just in seconds.
To do this you just need to type in the following code
intitle:”curriculum vitae” “phone * * *” “address *” “e-mail”

You can gain access to a list of .xls (excel documents) which contain contact details including email addresses of large group of people. To do so type the following search query and hit enter.

filetype:xls inurl:”email.xls”

Also it’s possible to gain access to documents potentially containing information on bank accounts, financial summaries and credit card numbers using the following search query

intitle:index.of finances.xls


2. For downloading Free Stuff

Ever wondered how to use Google for free music or ebooks. Well here is a way to do that. To download free music just enter the following query on google search box and hit enter.

“?intitle:index.of?mp3 eminem“

Now you’ll gain access to the whole index of eminem album where in you can download the songs of your choice. Instead of eminem you can subtitute the name of your favorite album. To search for the ebooks all you have to do is replace “eminem” with your favorite book name. Also replace “mp3″ with “pdf” or “zip” or “rar”.

Dats All Folks!!
Cheers!!

Well..many times you want to send mail to someone but without revealing your true e-mail address, or you want to stay anonymous or play some prank like sending a mail from say...bill@microsoft.com...but dont know how???...Well here in this post I am going to give you some gyan on this..

Well first let me give you an outline of what we are actually going to do..This is important to understand the concepts. Yahoo, Gmail and other popular mail services accept e-mails only from trusted servers and not from personal computers like the ones which you have at home..So what do we do?? ..well we will use a trusted server to send mail using fake email address..To do all this follow the procedure given below

1. Open an account with any of the free web hosting service providers that support "php" scripts. To make things easier for you, I would suggest www.x10hosting.com

2. Upload the scripts that I have attached with this post, using file manager to your server. And set the permissions for those scripts to maximum.
To Download Those Scripts -- DOWNLOAD SCRIPT

3. Ok once your are done with it..visit www.yourwebsite.com/sendmail.php Note- Replace "yourwebsite" with the name of your website.

4. Thats it!! :) Well for a live demo of this tutorial visit the link given below..

In this post I m going to tell the various emotions of people when they see their PC's behaving unexpectedly.All you need is one friend and his computer system and of course some privacy!!!
So here are few easy ways to do that:-

1)Run an application and see unexpected expert comments.
Its the easiest way to make your friend smile or frown depending on your intentions.

a)Create a textfile in notepad and type msg *YOUR COMMENTS. Save the file as anything.bat(Use any fancy name here to attract your victim). Also remember to put it under the category of All Files while saving.
b)Now you just need to make your victim click on that file.

2)Forced shutdown of a computer after a timer.
This will display a custom error message and start a countdown which will shut down the computer.

1)Right-click your desktop and create a new shortcut.

2)Paste the following code into the Location box in the Create Shortcut menu:
shutdown -s -t 30 -c “Your message here“

3)Replace 30 with the length of the countdown you want (in seconds) and place your custom error message between the quotes.

4) Click next and name the shortcut to something the victim would be likely to click on such as “Internet explorer” or “My Documents”, etc.

5)Next you’d want to change the icon. Right-click on the shortcut you made and click properties. Find the Change Icon button and click it. Choose a suitable icon for the name you chose earlier.

And that’s all! Now you just have to sneak the shortcut onto the victim’s desktop and run!

Note: to stop it, open Run from the start menu and type shutdown-a.

3)Endless Command prompt windows
This will open up a series of command prompt windows that will never end.
The basic idea is that there are two .bat files that open the other one when opened, so the other one opens the first one again and the windows just won’t stop coming.

How to do this:
1. Fire up notepad and type: start 2.bat
2. Save it as 1.bat (make sure you choose all files when saving it)
3. Make another new text document and type: start 1.bat
4. Save it as 2.bat into the same folder as the other one.

All you have to do to start it is to click on either of them.

The only way to stop it is to wait for the windows to become so numerous that they are a group on the taskbar. Then you can use Close group to get rid of the sequence.

4)Fake Command prompt viruses
These are also a good way to make the victim believe that a worm is gnawing at their hard drive and that they can’t do anything to stop it.

Open up notepad and type @echo off

* To make text appear, type it after an echo tag.
* To have the the commands wait for the user to press any key type pause

(Note: if you write pause >nul it won’t display Press Any key to continue…)

* To have a complete high-speed description of files in the drive of the .bat file, type dir /s
* You can also initiate any other command we covered earlier, such as shutdown, error message, etc.

5.And why no include all of these in one fake virus?

Thing is very advanced.So we do not know much about it.But you can see the link above.

Well every now and then..you read in the newspaper or see on television that mail was sent from ABC cyber cafe..or XYZ city...etc etc...Have you ever wondered..how police or ATC are actually able to do this??? Well you really dont need a IT professional to trace an email..because its not that complicated and difficult..
In this post computervedas is going to teach you how its done..

Well here is the outline of what we are actually going to do..
First we will find the ip address(much like the identity of a computer on the internet) of the sender of the mail...then we will trace his location on a map using that ip address..Simple isnt it?

Ok now in this trick i am going to use yahoo mail....because thats what i normally use..Ip adresses are normally not shown in a mail..because they are found in Headers.
Headers are enclosed beween square brackets, for instance, [129.130.1.1]
So to find them do the following...

1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.

2. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.

3. Open the mail.

4. If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed. To display the headers,

•Click on Options on the top-right corner
•In the Mail Options page, click on General Preferences
•Scroll down to Messages where you have the Headers option
•Make sure that Show all headers on incoming messages is selected
•Click on the Save button
•Go back to the mails and open that mail
5. You should see similar headers like above

Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to 6.

6. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ]. Here, it is 202.65.138.109.

That is the IP address of the sender.


If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.

7. Now that you have the IP address of the sender..its time to hunt him down.. Enter the IP address that you want to trace in the dialog box and click on "Search”.
