Windows

Hello guys.
that day most of u couldn't see the tricks about 'Hacking Window' so
here m sending u all the tricks which i have discussed with u in presentation.

"Don't use your powers for evil"

"Ethical Hacking--Hacking Windows"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Breaking BIOS Password.

Some default passwords are--
-------------------------------------
lkwpeter cmos AMI?SW1
j262 AMI!SW1 password
AWARD_SW bios hewittrand
AWARD_PW BIOS setup
Biostar Award AMI
--------------------------------------
also if u press ESC key 50 - 100 times in most BIOS, password program
crashes. and BIOS don’t ask for password.

Or you could remove Lithium battery for minimum 3 sec.

2. Changing characters of START button.

Restart Windows in MS-DOS Mode. & goto
C:\Windows> edit /70 explorer.exe
Goto line-no 2390 there u could find "start" charatcers but
mind it you could type only 5 character's word Bcoz before "start" characters
you could find club sign which is nothing but ascii symbol for 5 digit.
that means after club symbol there is 5 characters length word.

[It works only with Win98 & not with any other version of OS of windows]
**********************************************************************

3.Exiting Windows in quick way.

right click on desktop goto new->shortcut and type one of the following
shortcut path for either to restart or shut down m/c.


For Restarting windows98
C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexec

For Shutting down windows98
C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexe

For Restarting Windows-XP
C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00

For Shutting Down Windows-XP
C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00

**********************************************************************
4. Enabling FDD.

Restart Windows in MS_DOS mode
type following on console.

C:\> debug
-o702e
-o71
-q

if ur FDD has disabled it would get enabled.
[i have not try this,so i'm not sure wheather it would work or not.]

**********************************************************************

5. Ban On Shutdown.

click on start->click on run->type 'regedit' there to edit REGISTRY.

goto following key->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
then, right click on right-pane click on new->DWORD value
name it:NoClose set it's value to 1.
it will remove Shutdown menu-item from start menu.

[If u want to eanable shutdown again then set it's value to 0 or simply
delete this DWORD from registry]

**********************************************************************





6. Disabling Display Of Drives In My Computer

goto following key->

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
then, right click on right-pane click on new->DWORD value
name it:NoDrives set it's value to 03FFFFFF{Hex value}.

**********************************************************************

7. Hide Icons on desktop.

NoDesktop set value to 1.

**********************************************************************
8. Removing Recent Doc's menu from start menu.

goto KEY->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

9. Hiding secure data(converting normal folder into COntrol panel)

control panel has CLSID- {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
suppose you want to convert folder named- 'Personal' to control panel then,
you have to rename it as

> ren personal personal.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
your personal folder will get converted into control panel.

again if want it to convert it to normal folder then you have to rename it again as

> ren personal.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} personal

thats it.
