Block access to safe mode

Disable F8 Key to Block Access to Safe Mode during Windows Startup

Disabling Windows Safe Mode is not the perfect way of prevent the computer from being messed around but it goes give some extra security.

The last time I found out that we can disable access to safe mode by changing the Minimal and Network keys in registry to cause the computer to blue screen whenever you try to boot in to Safe Mode. It’s a fairly simple trick that works, maybe a little too simple that when the attacker knows about this trick, he/she can reverse the changes by editing the registry.
No worries, I found two more methods on how to disable the F8 key before booting up Windows.

The first and widely known method is to hexedit the hidden NTLDR file in the root of the drive where the operating system is installed. Please take note that this method only works on XP and not Vista since Vista no longer has NTLDR. Just follow the steps below on how to do it.

1. Assuming that you installed Windows in C: drive, type this in run attrib -r -s -h -a c:\ntldr
If you installed Windows in D: drive, then change o d:\ntldr

2. Backup ntldr file in C: drive to another name. You can do that by copying and pasting to the same location to get a new file “Copy of ntldr”

3. Download a free portable hex editor, extract and run Hedit.exe

4. Go to File > Open, select C:\ drive on the right hand side and look for ntldr file on the left box. Select the ntldr file and click OK.

5. Scroll down a little and look for the line 00000770 and change the values 0f 85 09 to 90 90 90.
disable F8 in Vista
6. Click File > Save and close Hedit.

7. Type this command in run attrib +r +s +h +a c:\ntldr

You can now restart your computer and both F8 and F5 key no longer works before starting up Windows! This hack totally disable keyboard input so that when you hit F8 or F5 before starting up Windows, there is no effect at all. If you have multiple operating system installed, this method would not be the best choice because you can’t move up or down to select which operating system to boot in to. When you want to boot in to Safe Mode when Windows is unable to start, you can boot up the computer with UBCD, linux live cd or even windows installation disc for recovery console and rename the “Copy of ntldr” file to ntldr. This way you can use the F8 key again.

High-tech password cracking

High-tech password cracking involves using a program that tries to guess a

password by determining all possible password combinations. These hightech

methods are mostly automated after you access the computer and password

database files.

Password cracking software

You can try to crack your organization’s operating-system and Internetapplication

passwords with various password cracking tools:

•  LC4 (previously called L0phtcrack) can sniff out password hashes fromthe wire. Go to www.atstake.com/research/lc

•  NetBIOS Auditing Tool (NAT) specializes in network-based passwordattacks. Go to www.securityfocus.com/tools/543

•  Chknull (www.phreak.org/archives/exploits/novell) for Novell NetWare password testing

•  These tools require physical access on the tested computer:

• John the Ripper (www.openwall.com/john)

• pwdump2 (razor.bindview.com/tools/desc/pwdump2_readme.html)

• Crack (coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/pwdutils/crack)

• Brutus (www.hoobie.net/brutus)

• Pandora (www.nmrc.org/project/pandora)

• NTFSDOS Professional (www.winternals.com)

 Various other handy password tools exist, such as

• GetPass for decrypting login passwords for Cisco routers (www.

boson.com/promo/utilities/getpass/getpass_utility.htm)

• Win Sniffer for capturing FTP, e-mail, and other types of passwords

off the network

• Cain and Abel for capturing, cracking, and even calculating various

types of passwords on a plethora of systems (www.oxid.it/

cain.html)

You may be wondering what value a password-cracking tool offers if you need

physical access to your systems to test them. Some would say that if a hacker

can obtain physical access to your systems and password files, you have

more than just basic information-security problems to worry about. But this

kind of access is entirely possible! What about a summer intern, a disgruntled

employee, or an outside consultant with malicious intent?

Password-cracking utilities take a set of known passwords and run them

through a password-hashing algorithm. The resulting hashes — or an

encrypted form of a data set — are then compared at lightning speed to the

password hashes extracted from the original password database. When a

match is found between the newly generated hash and the hash in the original

database, the password has been cracked. It’s that simple.

Other password-cracking programs simply attempt to logon using a predefined

set of user IDs and passwords. In fact, NAT can do just that. NAT takes

advantage of some known weaknesses in Microsoft’s Server Message Block

(SMB) protocol, which is used for file and print sharing.

Try running NAT in a real-world scenario. Simply download NAT from the preceding

address, and extract it to a temporary directory on your hard drive.

NAT comes with some predefined usernames and passwords in the userlist.

txt and passlist.txt files, but you can modify them or add your own.

For a quick test of a Windows NT or 2000 machine across the network, enter this

basic NAT command at a command prompt:

NAT used the default password list to crack the administrator password in just a

few seconds. If you don’t have any luck, consider using one of the dictionary

files listed in the next section. Just give the test some time. If you use one of

the larger lists, the process may take quite a while.

Passwords that are subjected to cracking tools eventually lose. You have

access to the same tools as the bad guys. These tools can be used for both

legitimate auditing and malicious attacks. You want to audit your passwords

before the bad guys do, and in this section, I show you some of my favorite

methods for auditing Windows and Linux/UNIX passwords.

When trying to crack passwords, the associated user accounts may be locked

out, which could interrupt your users. Be careful if you have intruder lockout

enabled — you may have to go back in and reenable locked accounts.

Boot your Computer Faster

Many computers take a lot of time to boot (or start ).This is due to many reasons.

Some slight changes can do wonders for your system:

1.Press start->run then type msconfig and press enter.

Go to the startup tab. Here you will see a list of startup items. These are all the programs that automatically start when you boot your PC. It is these that slow down the boot up process.

So uncheck all the unwanted items like ms-office, messengers other utilities that u may not need at startup). Don’t uncheck your antivirus software.

Restart your Pc to and see for yourself, your pc will now boot faster….

2.A great new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option is enabled, but on some systems it is not, so below is the information on how to turn it on:

Go to Start Menu and Click Run

Type in regedit then click ok
Find “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction”
Select “Enable” from the list on the right
Right on it and select “Modify”
Change the value to Y .
Reboot your Pc and see the change yourself.

3.SPEED UP BOOT BY DISABLING UNUSED PORTS.!!

You may have tried many tweaks like modifying windows XP start-up applications, prefetches, unload DLLs method, etc. And yes those methods do work for me.
I have just accidentally found out another way to give you an extra boost in windows XP’s boot performance. This is done by disabling your unused devices in
Device Manager. for example, if you don’t have input devices that are connected to one of your USB’s or COM ports, disabling them will give you an extra performance boost in booting. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> device manager Disable devices that you don’t use for your PC and then restart.

A DANGEROUS ADDICTION

SMOKING

Tobacco smoking is the practice where the substance, tobacco, is burned (pyrolyzed) and the vapors either tasted or inhaled.Smoking is the most common method of consuming tobacco.

Tobacco is likewise the most common substance smoked. The agricultural product is often mixed with other additives and then pyrolyzed. The resulting vapors are then inhaled and the active substances absorbed through the alveoli in the lungs. The active substances trigger chemical reactions in nerve endings which high tens heart rate, memory, alertness,and reaction time.Dopamine and later endorphins are released, which are often associated with reward and pleasure.
Many smokers begin during adolescence or early adulthood. During the early stages, smoking provides pleasurable sensations and thus serves as a source of positive reinforcement. After an individual has smoked for many years, the avoidance of withdrawal symptoms and negative reinforcement become the key motivations.

Different methods of consumption of tobacco:-

Beedi

Beedis are thin, often flavored, South Asian cigarette made of tobacco wrapped in a tendu leaf, and secured with colored thread at one end.Bidis smoke produce higher levels of carbon monoxide, nicotine, and tar than cigarettes.

Cigars

Cigars are tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth. They are generally not inhaled because the high alkalinity of the smoke, which can quickly become irritating to the trachea and lungs.

Instead they are generally drawn into the mouth.

Cigarettes

Cigarettes, French for "small cigar", are a product consumed through smoking and manufactured out of cured and finely cut tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco, often combined with other additives, which are then rolled or stuffed into a paper-wrapped cylinder.Cigarettes are ignited and inhaled, usually through a cellulose acetate filter, into the mouth and lungs. Cigarette smoking is the most common method of consumption.

Electronic cigarette

It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution.

Hookah

Hookah are a single or multi-stemmed (often glass-based) water pipe for smoking. Originally from India, the hookah has gained immense popularity, especially in the middle east. A hookah operates by water filtration and indirect heat. It can be used for smoking herbal fruits, tobacco, or cannabis.

Roll-Your-Own

Roll-Your-Own or hand-rolled cigarettes, are very popular particularly in European countries. These are prepared from loose tobacco, cigarette papers and filters all bought separately. They are usually much cheaper to make.

Recent study reveals that Tobacco smoking is a major cause of mortality.Use of tobacco in both chewable and non-chewable forms is equally injurious & can lead to disease, disability& death.Tobacco consumption is not only a health hazard but also an economic, social & psychology hazard.

Types of Smokers:

1) Positive affect smoker is one who enjoys smoking and receives pleasure from manipulating the cigarette by blowing smoke rings.

2) Negative affect smoker is one who smokes during times of stress or crisis such as nervousness, anxiety& anger.

3) Addictive smoker is ne who smokes to satisfy a craving or to solve a problem.

4) Habitual smoker is a chain smoker.In such cases one smokes without being consciously aware that he/she is smoking.

Hazards of smoking:

• Causes cancer and degenerative diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) & coronary artery disease(CAD).
• Increases the risk of heart attack, stroke (paralysis) or premature hardening of coronary arteries producing angina or sudden cardiac death.
• Tendency for hypertension,palpitation & clot formation.
• Bad breath. Cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent bad breath.
• Reduced athletic performance. People who smoke usually can't compete with nonsmoking peers because the physical effects of smoking (like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath) impair sports performance.

Releases various toxic chemicals in the such as:

• Carbon monoxides which produces carboxy hemoglobin reducing oxygen supply to brain & various tissues.
• Tar which causes cancer of lips, tongue, pharynx, larynx, lung stomach, liver, ovary etc.
• Nicotine which decreases sense of taste, touch & smell.

Try to quit smoking with the help of activities like :

• Meditation
• Regular exercise
• Sattvic diet
• Disciplined diet
• Medication(consult doctors)

Quit smoking before you'll smoke become like this ---

My beautiful imagination

One of the most difficult thing to decide whether she loves me or not, I'll propose her or not,She likes me or no.So many question in mind but my mind always thinks about her, about her curly hair which falls on her face & she waggles them,about her dark stunning eyes which shows that she loves me like no one does, about her lips like a petals of rose red & soft, her smile or titter innocent as a baby & as sweet as honey,her small hands like a baby which hold the beauty & the world together.
I don't know how can i describe her & don't know when i fall in love with her.I am always lost in the other world when i see her different-different expressions while talking.

She is like a White moon light dappling the dark night.There is something almost mystical about her beauty.This is not everything what i feel for you.
I want to tell her that....

As you got up this morning,
i watched you,and hoped you would talk me,
even if it was just a few words,
asking my opinion or thanking me for something good
that happened in your life yesterday.

But i noticed you were too busy,
trying to find the right outfit to wear.
When you ran around the house getting ready,
i knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and
say hello,but you were too busy.
At one point you had to wait,fifteen minutes with
nothing to do except sitting in a chair.
Then i saw you spring to your feet
i thought you wanted to talk to me,
but you ran to the phone and
called a friend to get the latest gossip instead.
I watched patiently all day long.
With all your activities i guess
you were too busy to say anything to me.


I noticed that before lunch you! looked around ,
may be you felt embarrassed to talk to me
that is why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced three or four tables and you noticed
some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate,
but you didn't.
That's OK.

There is still more time left and
i hope that you will talk to me yet.
You went home and it seems as
if you had lots of things to do.
After a few of them were done,you turned on the TV.
I don't know if you like TV or not,just about anything goes there
and you spend lot of time each day in front of it not thinking
about anything,just enjoying the show..:-(

I waited patiently again
as you watched the TV and ate your meal,
but again you didn't talk to me.

Bedtime i guess you felt too tired.
After you said good night to your family
you popped into bed and fell asleep in no time.
That's okay because you may not realize that
i am always there for you.
I've got patience,more than you will ever know.
I even want to teach you how!!!
to be patient with others as well.

I love you so much that i will wait everyday for a nod,
prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
Well, you are getting up once again.
And again i will wait,with nothing but love for you.
Hoping that today you will give me some time...:-)

Life in a hosteL

Any guy or girl who has spent a few years in a hostel will tell you that it is a mixed bag. Neither is it all fun, games and drinking, nor is it all studies, ragging and tension. It is an ideal preparatory type="text/javascript"> ground for all ’kids’ to grow up and face life.

Here what i feel, i listed 3 good and bad sides of Hostel life.............

WHAT I ENJOYED:

1. Movies:I watched most of the movies FDFS (First Day First Show). It did not really matter if the movie was good, bad or ugly. It did not matter if the movie was a comedy, romance or a tragedy. It did not matter if it came from a Yash Raj banner's KANK or was a Ramgopal verama's ki AAG or PHOONK. ultimately we had fun.....

2. Dhaba Food: We had lots of Dhaba food. Being a veg eater, I ate numerous plates of dal makhni, malaai kofta,kadhai paneer, mushroom masala....... n butter rotis We had food in dhabas mainly becoz we enjoyed the food there and could not afford food in big restaurants anyway.
we just contribute n enjoyed..... (anshoole never contribute bt he cames first to us n convince us..lolz)

3. Drinking and Dirty Mags: As anyone staying in hostels will tell you, guys drink a LOT! In our hostel, even girls used to drink and 'daaru' was plentiful. It did not matter if you had money or not - no body refused a girl a drink! So we drank like there was no tomorrow....Guys somehow feel dirty mags are an exclusive all male thing. HELL NO!!!! Girls read dirty mags too...though our stuff isn't as 'in your face' as the boys ones. The number of Dirty Mags i have been through in those one n half years - I can not match up in all my years ahead. And everybody used to bring their own collection and share with all. So I read English, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Punjabi,and even some French dirty mags. (Fortunately you read less and look more - as I cant read all those languages).

WHAT I HATED:

1. Ragging: No body enjoys running around in the college campus proposing to a guy (randomly jo bakra mil gya wo)! But ragging was accepted as a necessary evil and we had to tolerate it as well. But to our credit WE NEVER RAGGED anyone. No exceptions.....no clarifications. No one was even told to sing a song, dance - nothing at all. Unfortunately we were not so lucky and had to do several ragging acts like:
- Proposing to seniors
- Dancing Mujra in scanty clothes for for our seniors (GIRLS ONLY)
But thanks to this - I could after that I was never shy - no issues at all. I was very shy before i went to the hostel.

2. Hostel Food: I will let you judge our hostel food by describing a typical canteen meal.
Rice

Water colour dal
Sabzi (A mix of vegetables no one can understand)
Paneer (its like non dust rubber)

Noodles (dey try to mde chineese bt they don’t how to cook)

Roti *(its like papad)
To say the least - we hated it from the bottom of our heart and ate out when the pocket permitted. But thanks to this - I can today eat anything, anywhere - no problem sir!

3. Exams: It’s not really anything to do with Hostels, but we did have to study a lot in the hostel. Atleast 3 weeks in a semester… (including T1 T2 n T3). we used to study day and night. And by day and night - I mean upto 5 hours a day! And the hostel gals were very supportive(they prepared notes and coz we are the boys(hum photoshop wale ke pass jakar saare notes ki photocopy kra lete hai). No one EVER disturbed you if you were studying. But those 3 weeks were really tough. The only pleasure was the day wen exams over……

At the end of it all, I feel when i have kids, i will definitely keep them a few years in hostel. This will help them ’GROW UP’.

Share your experiences with us !!!

CANCER

DIET IN CANCER

There is a Hippocratic principle that states: "Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine." In other words, eating right will keep your body in good condition. Cancer patients find it even more important to eat right - during treatment, their dietary intake can literally become a matter of life and death.

Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are the most common treatments designed to stop the spread of cancer by killing and/or removing cancerous cells. Unfortunately, in the process of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, many of the body's healthy cells are also damaged or destroyed.

During these treatments the body is working unusually hard: fighting the cancer cells, and attending to the damage to healthy cells caused by the therapy by repairing and replacing already-damaged cells. The strain of these combined tasks is considerable, and the body requires a proportionally higher amount of nutrients just to maintain standard body functions. Those same nutrients are also needed as building blocks for the functions that will repair all the collateral cellular damage caused by therapy which may be distant from the actual site of treatment. If there aren't enough nutrients to go around, this will lead to malnutrition, a condition where the body is not taking in enough of the right kind of nutrients, forcing it to take them from stores in the fat or actually breaking down existing muscle tissue to obtain what is needed.

Malnutrition is very dangerous -- many studies have shown that weight loss drastically increases the mortality rate for most types of cancer while also lowering the response to chemotherapy. Of course, the reverse also seems to be true - in fact, a diet rich in the proper nutrients can often lessen the side effects of treatment and may even shorten recovery time. In most cases, malnutrition can be prevented by simply eating enough foods rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants. For patients with oral cancer, eating properly can pose a difficult problem.

The proper nutrients assist the body in rebuilding damaged cells, but anti-oxidants may actually fight the cancer directly. An article published last year in the International Journal of Integrative Medicine states that an increase in survival has been demonstrated for patients who received Vitamin A or other anti-oxidants in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This finding was observed for patients with oral and several other kinds of cancer. Patients who were given beta-carotene and other anti-oxidants while undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation lived longer, with an increase in disease-free intervals.

What not to eat is nearly as important. Cutting back on salt, fat, alcohol and sugar intake is essential. Not only are these "empty calories", but in some cases they may assist the continuing development of cancer in the body. For instance, researchers now feel that some tumors are primarily obligate glucose metabolizers; in other words, these tumors are "sugar feeders". In one animal study, there was even a clear dose-dependent response, the more sugar in the diet, the quicker the cancer metastasized in the test animals.

Those experiencing nausea or loss of appetite should press themselves to eat small frequent meals. Another method is to time meals to coincide with periods during the day when the patient is feeling best (generally, patients tend to feel better and have improved appetites early in the day with a progressive decrease in appetite as the day progresses.) Avoid strong aromas if they contribute to the feeling of nausea, such as serving cold rather than hot foods, since odors come from the rising steam.

Cancer patients may also consider nutritional supplements, especially for the times when they feel they cannot eat enough. Although certain nutrient supplements may not work as well as whole foods, there is a general feeling that taking recommended doses of certain vitamins can assist the process in most cases. Many of these are available in liquid or powder form which can be incorporated into a blender drink.

No matter what the symptoms of the treatment, a person with cancer should try to maintain a positive attitude toward maintaining their diet. A change in one's diet "because the doctor told me to" is the easiest and least helpful attitude, while eating better "because I want to do everything I can to beat this thing" is much more productive. After all, any cancer patient who tries to keep a good diet is contributing to his or her treatment as much as the medical professional. This is one area in which the patient can feel some sense of control and involvement; two things that many feel are lost during the treatment process. Also, keeping a good nutritional state can help people with cancer feel and look better and can help them maintain the physical strength to optimize day-to-day life. Because, in the end, this battle is fought day-to-day, and the best assistance the patient can provide is good nutrition and a positive attitude..
