10 reasons computers crash, and how to fix them
|
"Fatal error: the system has become unstable or is busy," it says. "Enter to return to Windows or press Control-Alt-Delete to restart your computer. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications."
You have just been struck by the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Micr@s@ft Windows will be familiar with this. What can you do? More importantly, how can you prevent it happening?
1 Hardware conflict
The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an interrupt request channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device.
For example, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.
If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager.
Often if a device has a problem a yellow '!' appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.
Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as 'IRQ holder for PCI steering'. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.
Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is www.driverguide.com. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty).
When working inside a computer you should switch it off, unplug the mains lead and touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
To be fair to Micr@s@ft, the problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.
2 Bad Ram
Ram (random-access memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying Fatal Exception Error. A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.
But a fatal error caused by Ram might be caused by a mismatch of chips. For example, mixing 70-nanosecond (70ns) Ram with 60ns Ram will usually force the computer to run all the Ram at the slower speed. This will often crash the machine if the Ram is overworked.
One way around this problem is to enter the BIOS settings and increase the wait state of the Ram. This can make it more stable. Another way to troubleshoot a suspected Ram problem is to rearrange the Ram chips on the motherboard, or take some of them out. Then try to repeat the circumstances that caused the crash. When handling Ram try not to touch the gold connections, as they can be easily damaged.
Parity error messages also refer to Ram. Modern Ram chips are either parity (ECC) or non parity (non-ECC). It is best not to mix the two types, as this can be a cause of trouble.
EMM386 error messages refer to memory problems but may not be connected to bad Ram. This may be due to free memory problems often linked to old Dos-based programmes.
3 BIOS settings
Every motherboard is supplied with a range of chipset settings that are decided in the factory. A common way to access these settings is to press the F2 or delete button during the first few seconds of a boot-up.
Once inside the BIOS, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to write down on a piece of paper all the settings that appear on the screen. That way, if you change something and the computer becomes more unstable, you will know what settings to revert to.
A common BIOS error concerns the CAS latency. This refers to the Ram. Older EDO (extended data out) Ram has a CAS latency of 3. Newer SDRam has a CAS latency of 2. Setting the wrong figure can cause the Ram to lock up and freeze the computer's display.
Micr@s@ft Windows is better at allocating IRQ numbers than any BIOS. If possible set the IRQ numbers to Auto in the BIOS. This will allow Windows to allocate the IRQ numbers (make sure the BIOS setting for Plug and Play OS is switched to 'yes' to allow Windows to do this.).
4 Hard disk drives
After a few weeks, the information on a hard disk drive starts to become piecemeal or fragmented. It is a good idea to defragment the hard disk every week or so, to prevent the disk from causing a screen freeze. Go to
* Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Defragmenter
This will start the procedure. You will be unable to write data to the hard drive (to save it) while the disk is defragmenting, so it is a good idea to schedule the procedure for a period of inactivity using the Task Scheduler.
The Task Scheduler should be one of the small icons on the bottom right of the Windows opening page (the desktop).
Some lockups and screen freezes caused by hard disk problems can be solved by reducing the read-ahead optimisation. This can be adjusted by going to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System Icon-Performance-File System-Hard Disk.
Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some housekeeping on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents (not the folder) can free a lot of space.
Empty the Recycle Bin every week to free more space. Hard disk drives should be scanned every week for errors or bad sectors. Go to
* Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-ScanDisk
Otherwise assign the Task Scheduler to perform this operation at night when the computer is not in use.
5 Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors
Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems.
These can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-Display-Settings
Here you should slide the screen area bar to the left. Take a look at the colour settings on the left of that window. For most desktops, high colour 16-bit depth is adequate.
If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager
Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.
If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.
The way to resolve a hardware conflict is to uncheck the Use Automatic Settings box and hit the Change Settings button. You are searching for a setting that will display a No Conflicts message.
Another useful way to resolve video problems is to go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Performance-Graphics
Here you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left. As ever, the most common cause of problems relating to graphics cards is old or faulty drivers (a driver is a small piece of software used by a computer to communicate with a device).
Look up your video card's manufacturer on the internet and search for the most recent drivers for it.
6 Viruses
Often the first sign of a virus infection is instability. Some viruses erase the boot sector of a hard drive, making it impossible to start. This is why it is a good idea to create a Windows start-up disk. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs
Here, look for the Start Up Disk tab. Virus protection requires constant vigilance.
A virus scanner requires a list of virus signatures in order to be able to identify viruses. These signatures are stored in a DAT file. DAT files should be updated weekly from the website of your antivirus software manufacturer.
An excellent antivirus programme is Mc@fee VirusScan by Network Associates ( www.nai.com). Another is N0rt0n AntiVirus 2000, made by Symantec ( www.symantec.com).
7 Printers
The action of sending a document to print creates a bigger file, often called a postscript file.
Printers have only a small amount of memory, called a buffer. This can be easily overloaded. Printing a document also uses a considerable amount of CPU power. This will also slow down the computer's performance.
If the printer is trying to print unusual characters, these might not be recognised, and can crash the computer. Sometimes printers will not recover from a crash because of confusion in the buffer. A good way to clear the buffer is to unplug the printer for ten seconds. Booting up from a powerless state, also called a cold boot, will restore the printer's default settings and you may be able to carry on.
8 Software
A common cause of computer crash is faulty or badly-installed software. Often the problem can be cured by uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it. Use N0rt0n Uninstall or Uninstall Shield to remove an application from your system properly. This will also remove references to the programme in the System Registry and leaves the way clear for a completely fresh copy.
The System Registry can be corrupted by old references to obsolete software that you thought was uninstalled. Use Reg Cleaner by Jouni Vuorio to clean up the System Registry and remove obsolete entries. It works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Millennium Edition (ME), NT4 and Windows 2000.
Read the instructions and use it carefully so you don't do permanent damage to the Registry. If the Registry is damaged you will have to reinstall your operating system. Reg Cleaner can be obtained from www.jv16.org
Often a Windows problem can be resolved by entering Safe Mode. This can be done during start-up. When you see the message "Starting Windows" press F4. This should take you into Safe Mode.
Safe Mode loads a minimum of drivers. It allows you to find and fix problems that prevent Windows from loading properly.
Sometimes installing Windows is difficult because of unsuitable BIOS settings. If you keep getting SUWIN error messages (Windows setup) during the Windows installation, then try entering the BIOS and disabling the CPU internal cache. Try to disable the Level 2 (L2) cache if that doesn't work.
Remember to restore all the BIOS settings back to their former settings following installation.
9 Overheating
Central processing units (CPUs) are usually equipped with fans to keep them cool. If the fan fails or if the CPU gets old it may start to overheat and generate a particular kind of error called a kernel error. This is a common problem in chips that have been overclocked to operate at higher speeds than they are supposed to.
One remedy is to get a bigger better fan and install it on top of the CPU. Specialist cooling fans/heatsinks are available from www.computernerd.com or www.coolit.com
CPU problems can often be fixed by disabling the CPU internal cache in the BIOS. This will make the machine run more slowly, but it should also be more stable.
10 Power supply problems
With all the new construction going on around the country the steady supply of electricity has become disrupted. A power surge or spike can crash a computer as easily as a power cut.
If this has become a nuisance for you then consider buying a uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This will give you a clean power supply when there is electricity, and it will give you a few minutes to perform a controlled shutdown in case of a power cut.
It is a good investment if your data are critical, because a power cut will cause any unsaved data to be lost

How To Remove and Add Right-Click Menu Items from Files and Folders
|
Removing Items:
A lot of programs you install will add themselves to the right-click menu of your files and/or folders. And most times, you have no choice in the matter and, as a result, your right-click menu can get very long with added items you don't even use. The last person I was helping with this had a right context menu so long that the Rename option was no longer visible!
Fortunately, you can easily remove those unwanted menu items, if you know the registry values to edit. And it's not at all difficult once you know the keys responsible for the additions.
For Files, the secret lies in the "context menu handlers" under the shellex subkey for "All Files" which, in the registry, is nothing but an asterisk - like a dos wildcard, which means the values entered apply to all files. It is at the very top of the Root key.
Right here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
Click the the + sign next to the ContextMenuHandlers key, to expand it.
Now you will see some of the programs that have added items to your right-click menu. Simply delete the program keys you don't want.
Yup! It's that simple. If deleting makes you uneasy, just export the key before deleting it. Or, instead of deleting the values, disable them. Simply double click the default value for the program on the right hand pane and rename the clsid value by placing a period or dash in front of it.
ie; - {b5eedee0-c06e-11cf-8c56-444553540000}
Then exit the registry, refresh, and right click a file to see if the item was removed from the menu.
Some programs - like WinZip or WinRar - will add several items to your right click menu but all of them will be removed by deleting or disabling their one context menu handler.
Note that the above key only applies to the right click menu of files.
To remove entries from the right click context menu of folders.
You need to navigate to the Folder and Drive keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s
All you have to do is follow the same procedure as for Files - either disable or delete items you wish to remove.
Adding Items
Adding Items to the right click menu of Files and Folders is also fairly simple using the Registry. It just involves the creation of a few new keys for each item you wish to add. You edit the same keys used for removing items. Let's use Notepad as an example of an item you'd like to add to the right click menu of all your files or folders.
For folders, go to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder
Click the + sign next to Folder and expand it so that the Shell key is visible. Right click the Shell key and choose New>Key and name the key Notepad or whatever else you'd prefer (whatever the key is named is what will appear in the right-click menu). Now right click the new key you made and create another key named Command. Then, in the right hand pane, double click "Default" and enter Notepad.exe as the value.
Exit the registry, refresh, and right click any folder. Notepad should now be on the context menu.
For files, go here again:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*
Expand the * key and see if a Shell key exists. If it does exist, follow the same procedure as for folders. If it does not exist, you'll have to create a new Shell first. Just right click the * key and choose New>Key and name it Shell. Then right click the Shell key and continue on the same way you did for adding items to the right click menu of folders.
Once done, Notepad should appear as an option in the right click menu of all your files.

!!!ALERT!!! Microsoft to check your PC every month!!!
|
Microsoft has taken authentication of the Microsoft Validation to a whole new level. Starting now, they will be checking your operating system every month. Now, I'm not saying this development is bad or good. I'm just wondering what impact this has on our daily lives. Ever since I received an email stating this new policy I've been wondering why Microsoft felt the need to validate each copy of Windows every month and have come up with a couple of reasons why...
First, I'm sure that each month they uncover more and more previously activated Product Key's and therefore as they find out about them, they deactivate the key codes that look like they're pirated. What this means to you is that you need to be vigilant to follow Microsoft's license agreement and only have one computer running one license at a time. If you have two computers and activated the second computer by calling Microsoft to get around the online activation failure, they will be able to detect that 2 different computers are running off of one license and shut both down. There go any critical updates and extras you would otherwise get by staying legal.
Second, it gives Microsoft the opportunity to poll your hardware configuration each month. This allows them not only to see if your license is running on different computers but also gives them a general idea of what Windows users use hardware-wise. They'll know when you change video cards, motherboards, CPUs, add memory, etc. Is this a big deal? That's not for me to say. I don't mind but I'm sure there are people who would mind. With this information they can aggregate the data and sell it to companies who use that type of information and/or build new software programs that can take advantage of new hardware once they know there is a greater number of users who can run the new software, thus optimizing their ability to sell software.
One of the potential impacts I see is bandwidth. If Microsoft is checking every Windows user every month then that is however many millions of checks that get sent to Redmond, WA. Doing it once per install is one thing but now this number of checks gets multiplied by 12. Could have an impact on their bottom line at the very least, and they'll of course pass this cost on to it's customers...meaning a higher cost of software in the future.
Turn off Indexing to speed up XP
|
Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc. If you do not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then I suggest turnning this feature off:
1. Control Panel
2. Administrative Tools
3. Services
4. Disable Indexing Services
Top 15 Ways to Extend Your Laptop??™s Battery Life
|
1. Defrag regularly - The faster your hard drive does its work - less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. (but not while it??™s on battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.
2. Dim your screen - Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance. Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra battery juice.
3. Cut down on programs running in the background. Itunes, Desktop Search, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn??™t crucial when you??™re on battery.
4. Cut down external devices - USB devices (including your mouse) & WiFi drain down your laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery.
5. Add more RAM - This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory.
6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be power consuming. They spin, taking power, even when they?re not actively being used. Wherever possible, try to run on virtual drives using programs like Alcohol 120% rather than optical ones.
7. Keep the battery contacts clean: Clean your battery??™s metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.
8. Take care of your battery - Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. (Discharing is only for older batteries with memory effects)
9. Hibernate not standby - Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn??™t save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC??™s state as it is, and completely shut itself down.
10. Keep operating temperature down - Your laptop operates more efficiently when it??™s cooler. Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner, or refer to some extra tips by LapTopMag.com.
11. Set up and optimize your power options - Go to ???Power Options??™ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ???max battery??™ for maximum effect).
12. Don??™t multitask - Do one thing at a time when you??™re on battery. Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3??™s, set your mind to one thing only. If you don??™t you??™ll only drain out your batteries before anything gets completed!
13. Go easy on the PC demands - The more you demand from your PC. Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you??™ve got a single battery charge - pick your priorities wisely.
14. Get yourself a more efficient laptop - Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all day long batteries. Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix.
15. Prevent the Memory Effect - If you??™re using a very old laptop, you??™ll want to prevent the ???memory effect??™ - Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Bonus Tip #1: Turn off the autosave function. MS-Word??™s and Excel??™s autosave functions are great but because they keep saving regular intervals, they work your hard driver harder than it may have to. If you plan to do this, you may want to turn it back on as the battery runs low. While it saves battery life in the beginning, you will want to make sure your work is saved when your battery dies.
Bonus Tip #2: Lower the graphics use. You can do this by changing the screen resolution and shutting off fancy graphic drivers. Graphics cards (video cards) use as much or more power today as hard disks - Thanks Andrew
Update 7/7/07: Bonus Tip #1 to give caution about turning off autosave, tip #8 to change information about discharging batteries - thanks to all who pointed it out. Added Bonus tip #2, Tip #1 to add in clause in regards to Mac OSX, Tip #1 about the spinning of hard drives - thanks to all who pointed it out
Increase DSL Speed
|
This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with WinXP professional version - might work on Home version also. It will probably work with networked machines as well but I haven??™t tried it in that configuration. This is for windows XP only, it does not work on win2000. I use 3 Com cards so I don??™t know how it works on others at this point. It does not involve editing the registry. This tweak assumes that you have let WinXP create a connection on install for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and print sharing - and client for Microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that WinXP will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn??™t do not try this.
In the ???My Network Places??? properties (right click on the desktop icon and choose properties), highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose ???Advanced??? then ???Advanced Settings???. Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK
1. From the windows XP cd in the support directory from the support cab, extract the file netcap.exe and place it in a directory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C: drive.
2. next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you put netcap.exe. then type ???netcap/????. It will list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon driver will be installed. At the bottom you will see your adapters. You should see two of them if using a 3Com card. One will be for LAN and the other will be for WAN something or other.
3. Next type ???netcap/Remove???. This will remove the netmon driver.
4. Open up control panel / system / dev man and look at your network adapters. You should now see two of them and one will have a yellow ! on it. Right click on the one without the yellow ! and choose uninstall. YES! you are uninstalling your network adapter, continue with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.
5. Check your connection properties to make sure that no connection exists. If you get a wizard just cancel out of it.
6. Now re-start the machine.
7. After re-start go to your connection properties again and you should have a new connection called ???Local area connection 2″. Highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose ???Advanced??? then ???Advanced Settings???. Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.
8. Choose connection properties and uncheck the ???QOS??? box
9. Re-start the machine
10. After restart enjoy the increased responsiveness of IE, faster page loading, and a connection speed boost.
Why it works, it seems that windows XP, in its zeal to make sure every base is covered installs two separate versions of the NIC card. One you do not normally see in any properties. Remember the ???netcap/???? command above showing two different adapters? The LAN one is the one you see. The invisible one loads everything down and its like your running two separate cards together, sharing a connection among two cards, this method breaks this ???bond??? and allows the NIC to run un-hindered.
How to check which version your PC has
|
If a system has been patched in the past few months, the nine executables in Windows\System32 will either show an earlier version number, 7.0.6000.374, or the stealth patch: 7.0.6000.381. (The version numbers can be seen by right-clicking a file and choosing Properties. In XP, click the Version tab and then select File Version. In Vista, click the Details tab.)
In addition, PCs that received the update will have new executables in subfolders named 7.0.6000.381 under the following folders:
c:\Windows\System32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups.dll
c:\Windows\System32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups2.dll
Users can also verify whether patching occurred by checking Windows??™ Event Log:
Step 1. In XP, click Start, Run.
Step 2. Type eventvwr.msc and press Enter.
Step 3. In the tree pane on the left, select System.
Step 4. The right pane displays events and several details about them. Event types such as ???Installation??? are labeled in the Category column. ???Windows Update Agent??? is the event typically listed in the Source column for system patches.

Intro to Windows Server 2008 DVD
|
This course is a 6 hour training course to introduce you to Windows Server 2008. It will teach you about some of the neat new features that are available in Window Server 2008 and how to configure them. The Intro to Windows Server Training DVD is not an exam prep course and does not go into as much depth as the (Coming Soon) Windows Server 2008 training series will, but it gives you a great opportunity to get ahead of the crowd and start working on Windows Server 2008.

1st Evidence Remover 2.4 - 1 MB
Cleans your Windows of any evidence and temporary files
When you delete your files using the Delete command, Windows does not actually delete the files but places them to the hidden RECYCLER folder, and even if you use the Empty Recycle Bin command, some files may stay in this folder and can not be deleted by Windows.
1st Evidence Remover is a complex security system that ensures your security and privacy by destroying all hidden activity information on demand, according to a user-defined schedule or on each boot/shutdown.
The program does not damage your Windows and does not delete your documents, it only removes needless registry entries and files that may potentially contain evidence and endanger you needlessly.
1st Evidence Remover also removes temporary files left by your system making it cleaner and running faster.
Install 1st Evidence Remover on your PC before it is too late!
Compatibility:
Windows 9x/ME
Windows NT4
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows 2003

About "HOSTS" File
|
Warning: Backup the file before playing with it!
What does this file do?
The HOSTS file found on Windows (and linux too) is like a local DNS (domain name server). When you type a url on the browsers address bar, the domain name is converted to the IP of the server by a DNS lookup by the browser. Now here is the catch ... Windows first looks at the HOSTS file before doing any DNS lookup. So we can block certain sites by editing the HOSTS file.
Where is it ? I dont see the HOSTS file
HOSTS file is found typically here ...
Windows XP : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K : C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 98/ME : C:\WINDOWS
Linux : /etc/
What is in this FILE?
HOSTS file is just a plain text file. So you can use any text editing software like notepad to edit the contents of the file.
Typical content of a HOSTS file is shown below :
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
The Lines followed by a # are comments and explains how to use the HOSTS file. 127.0.0.1 is the IP address that is used to loopback to your computer itself. So if you are running an apache or IIS server or anyother server software, you can access it by the url http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
What now ?
Suppose you want to block some sites for example say you want to block "www.sicksite.com". All you have to do is add another line to the HOSTS file:
127.0.0.1 www.sicksite.com
Now what happens is whenever you try to visit "www.sicksite.com" it goes to the site on your localhost. For common people those who dont run any server, localhost is nowhere!
Why would i want to block sites ?
There are many parasitic servers out there on the internet, that track your movements while browsing. So if you want to protect yourself, include those sites on the HOSTS file.
A list of sites that is parasitic or is an ad serving site is given in
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
It is not recommended to copy the entire list to your local HOSTS file as it slows down the system. So choose ones that you think needs to be blocked.
What is this pop up about?
When you are saving the HOSTS file, a pop up may appear that asks you to confirm the changes to the HOSTS file. This pop up may or may not appear based on the OS, and other Anti-Virus Softwares you are running.
What else can I do with "HOSTS" file?
You can also make a site point to another site. By making an entry as follows :
72.14.207.99 www.mysearchengine.com #72.14.207.99 google server ip
Now visiting "www.mysearchengine.com" takes you yo "www.google.com".
To find out IP address of sites visit:
• http://www.hcidata.co.uk/host2ip.htm
• http://cqcounter.com/whois/
If your are a webmaster, HOSTS file allows you to make subdomains within localhost (depends on server software and after configurations in it).
127.0.0.1 subdomain.localhost
Oops I screwed up ...
Restore the backup file if u have already done so
OR
Copy the sample HOSTS given above and save it.
Disable Autorun Windows XP
|
Do this very important!!
Most viruses uses the autorun.inf to get itself infected on your computer. Autorun.inf is a small file that instructs the windows os to do when the CD is inserted into the computer. In genuine cases , it runs a setup in case of a Software Installation Disc. In the other case it may run a virus and gets your system infected. All you got to do to get the virus is put the CD. Same is the case for Mass Storage Devices like Memory Sticks, Pen Drives, Flash Drives etc.
So Disable your Autorun now
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\Cdrom\Autorun Change from 1 to 0
To disable Autoplay of all drives
Start > Run > gpedit.msc
Enable : Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Turn Off Autoplay

Administering Windows Systems/Networks
|
Here's the start of my "Best Practices" list for the
sucessful administration of Windows NT and 2000 based
networks. At some point, I may categorize them.
NT4
• No network is too small for a BDC
• Update your ERDs on a regular basis
WINDOWS 2000/XP/2003
• Always install the Recovery Console
• Backup the System State on a regular basis
• Use a normal account for day-to day work, and use
RUNAS for administrative work.
• The cost of a 2nd domain controller is far less than
the cost of downtime
SECURITY
• Use Strong Passwords
• Enable Auditing
• Change Passwords Regularly
• Firewalls and AntiVirus are well advised for any network
• Always create a password for the Administrator Account
INSTALLATIONS
• Create Slipstreamed CDs
• Use tracking sofware whenever installing software
on your desktop or server
• Test Patches, Fixes, and new software/drivers in
a test environment before going live.
GENERAL
• Defrag your drives
• EIDE for standard desktops; SCSI for Servers and
High-End Workstations
• ATA RAID before Software RAID
• NT/2000/XP makes a much better client OS than Win9x
• NTFS at all times
• Script your changes, so you'll have a record, and
you'll be able to duplicate them easily.
• Switches, YES; Hubs, NO
• Develop a good Backup strategy and test your backups
• Develop a good Naming Convention
• Develop a good Disaster Recovery stratey
• The command line is your friend
• Use strong passwords and a robust password policy
• Use good, reliable, robust hardware
• Use proper power supplies and clean power
• Document your changes
• Redundancy is a good thing!
• Group Policy is a powerful tool
• Document all concerns - CYA at all times

Telnet For Beginners
|
First of all what is telnet? Telnet is a protocol which is part of the TCP/IP suite. It is quite similar to the UNIX rlogin program. Telnet allows you to control a remote computer from your own one. It is terminal emulation software. In the old days harddrives were humonguous and expensive (i am talking waY back here) and there were no personal computers. To make use of existing computers you had to lease hardrive space and use terminals to operate the system. For developers this was great because computing became lots cheaper. You needed a server and many connections could be made. With telnet u can emulate this type of distributed computing and for example operate a supercomputer from a distance.
TCP/IP works with ports and telnet has one also. It's nr 23. It's has several rfc's. Nr 854 dates back to 1983 and is named telnet protocol specification.
With telnet you can do various things like send mail, log in to irc or proxy and even (though hardly anymore) view and modify websites. There are telnet services available allowing you to search through large databases using telnet. With this you use the remote computer's power so it won't presure your precious resources. Usually help or remotehelp are the commands to use to find out what you can and cannot do. If you can't see what you type in then set echo. Once you made a connection you can use the computer as if it was your own. You use command lines for this.
Telnet knows different emulation types. VT-100 is most used. This emulation was used on the video terminals of DEC. There are still VT-100 servers running out there. Scientists use these.
To use telnet you need a client. Windows has telnet built in by default (as does UNIX but that's a different story), but there are third party clients available on the net. You start a telnet session by typing in the command 'telnet server.net 23' where the port number is optional. Since Telnet was based on UNIX (as it is part of TCP/IP which also was based on UNIX) it uses UNIX commands. Basic knowledge would help you here. The port number specifies what services you will use. 23 is the default one. You can log into various services. 80 is the HTTP server for that.
So say you wanted to modify your site from a distance on a leased line. You don't have your fav progs and hardly any time.
/* telnet server.net 80 (leave the /*)
/* GET http://www.server.net/YOURSITE.HTM HTTP/1.1
You can use this method to get the output of a cgi-script as well. The simple request doesn't use the HTTP/1.1 (this is the HTTP version running on the server). If you perform a bad request you usually get some info on the server. Use this to find a the correct versions of services running.
To put files to the server u use the PUT command. Telnet is pretty simillar to FTP which is also part of TCP/IP. There are other commands available like POST, which is used to put larger data files to the server, HEAD to get the sites header and DELETE. This one is obvious isn't it.
You can also use telnet to send raw imails. The port to login to is 25.
First you have to identify your self. This geos like this:
/* telnet mail.server.net 25
/* HELO www.you.net
When you typed this command you'll get some feedback telling you who and what you logged on to. When you login u may get also some feedback telling you things. :`;
After this you tell the server where the mail is from like this:
/* MAIL FROM:you@youradress.net
The server will give you feedback again telling you
/* ...Sender OK
You are accepted. Now for the receipant
/* RCPT TO:yourroommate@hisadress.net
again feedback
/* ...Receptient OK
The server stil does it's duty.....
/* DATA
After typing this command you'll get the instructions on the proper way to send the mail. Type your mail using the instructions. After you're done sending your mail close the connection using
/* QUIT (or END, EXIT, LOGOFF LOGOUT)
You can use this to receive your mail as well (if your provider allows you). The POP port is 110. Telnet to the server on this port. Once there use the following commands.
/* USER you@THE_SERVER_GOES_HERE.net
/* PASS ;type in your password (simple huh.).
Once you are accepted as a valid user use the following to list your mail.
/* LIST
Ports can be configured so they may be different on some systems. Many admins use the default ones though.
Two things come in handy when completly understanding telnet and how it works. They are a basic understanding of TCP/IP and a basic understanding of UNIX commands.
You could use telnet to connect to a proxy and from there on continue your quest. Find a good proxy (use a search engine to locate one) and create an account. Now telnet to the server on the port specified on the website and hang loose. Using a proxy to use the web keeps your identity better hidden. Proxies often use port 8080 or 3128. If you use IE or Netscape you configure them to use a proxy. If you have computer friends maybe they could help you locate one nearby. To learn more about proxies read a tutorial about them. Telnet is part of TCP/IP and with this comes specific built in connection security. This basicly comes down to the three-way-handshake which i will not furtherly discuss in this tut. Terminal emulation was embraced by developers because it is a quick and secure way for remote computing.
Bcause telnet is developed to be quick and reliable you could use it to connect yourself to an irc-server and chat with your buddies without a resource consuming GUI. You may even want to use a proxy to keep the (f)lamers from finding out your ip. To do this you have to know that the irc protocol has it's ports dedicated to 6666:6669. Ports can be configured so you have to know to what port you should connect. The identd runs on port 113. Better use a shell account to connect to IRC servers or a GUI client. Once you are there u can use the usual irc commands. If you have got a good shell (command.com) you can use scripts to automate procedures. To learn more about irc: Request for Comments: 1459 Internet Relay Chat Protocol. mIrc is a pretty good irc-client for nowadays high resource conputers if you want to learn this to. Since linux was built on UNIX and linux is free, you should have by now installed this operating system. OK
U can also post to newsgroups if the server allows this. Newsgroups use nntp (rfc 977) over port 119. Use your skills. If you want to get information on a particular system you can use a technique known as port scanning. There are pretty fancy port scanners on the net but to become a guru you will have to know how hits take place. So use port surfing instead. Telnet to the server on various ports to get info on services. This is much more rewarding then using someone else's portscanner. If you want to become a good hacker learn a programming language and write your own. Because TCP/IP is not designed for a specific platform it works much the same on any. TCP/IP uses ports that have certain services.
There are severel interresting ports for trying telnet like 7:echo. This one replies whatever you type in.
13 daytime
15 netstat
37 time time
39 rlp
53 domain
119 nntp
443 https
Use your commands to get the requested info. By connecting to different services you get a clear look at the system in use. If you want to exploit a system use the info and go to exploiters.net. If you come across a system you don't know read the ALT.2600.FAQ.
There are also a lot of trojans circulating (like back orifice or netbus). If you know how to use these you can do some rad things but mostly the use if trojans is considered lame. Learn the commands and setup your private backdoor. When you want to attack a system prepare yourself for this. There has been some discussion on the legality of port-scanning/surfing. Many servers log every attempt to connect to it. Be warned.
The expansion of free software towards the windows market gives great tools to set up your own hackerlab. For this you use your computer and one other. Set up a simple network with a server.
Configure the server and start hacking.
If you have a root account on a telnet server you can use this to remotely administer the server. There are many wats to get a root account. Remember that if an administrator finds a new root account on his system he will know it has been tampered with. Covering your tracks is fatal if you want to stay uncaught. Telnetting from a PDA is a pretty fancy way to read your mail or post to newsgroups from a distance. Because GSM phones can only transmit upto 9600 bps you might not want to load up the web.
BLOCK AND UNBLOCK WEBSITES
|
Many times in schools, colleges & offices surfing some sites like orkut,etc are banned !
To overcome this you can unblock these or block some other websites and play pranks !
Do The Following :
For eg you want to block www.xyz.com !
* Open the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
* There you will find a file named HOSTS
* Click on the file and press SHIFT and now right click on it .
* From the right click menu select Open with .
* Now, select Notepad to open the file from the list !
* Now, in the file under the line 127.0.0.1 localhost add another line as 127.0.0.2 www.xyz.com.
* Now, File>>Save !
Now, open your web browser and try openning www.xyz.com , it will not load !
To unblock sites just do the opposite !
