How to fix Windows Installer problem.txt

Do you experience this kind of problem whenever you attemp to install an application in windows box (2k, xp)?


"The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."


The ms website knowledge article 324516 gives 2 methods as a way of fixing this problem, but you might be very lucky if any of the 2 fixes the problem, alot of guys end up formating their systems and doing fresh windows installations or try wired ways of fixing it.


Well, the solution is very easy:


1. right click your root windows installation drive i.e drive where you installed windows


2. click properties at the bottom


3. select security tab


4. click Add and scroll down to SYSTEM account click add and click OK.


5. allow Full control permission and click Apply and then Ok.


This should solve your problem with windows installer.

How To Download Bittorrent Files

Downloading BitTorrent Files


What is BitTorrent in Plain English?


BitTorrent is a program you download. It is similar to a peer-to-peer file sharing service. Basically it goes like this: You download the installer. You get the link to a file that ends in .torrent and enter that URL into your browser (preferably Internet Explorer). This opens the BitTorrent download window. It starts downloading the file, or episode that you wanted (eg. alias2x01.torrent). As it downloads, it uploads the parts that you have to other people so many people can get it at once. When you've finished downloading the file, you can leave the window open (don't press finish or close the window) and other people can still download from you. This is very much encouraged.


I'm new to all this. How do I download with BitTorrent???


First we need to download and install a BitTorrent client


Official client 3.3

Note:


If you?re client freezes during D/Ls, it?s a problem with you?re network card or modem, this happens when you connect to more peers than you?re card or modem can handle & windows shuts it down. There is a cure. Shad0ws Experimental client allows you to set how many incoming peers to allow.

How to D/L Torrent files


BitTorrent is not like other peer-to-peer applications (such as Winmx, Kazaa, Gnutella, etc.) in that it does not have its own \"universe.\" Put another way, BT lives on top of the Web, which means that all of the searching/listing of available files is done on the web. When you find a file you want to download, you click on it and the BitTorrent client program will run and ask you where to put it, and then start downloading. Or you save target as. Save the file somewhere then click on it when you?re ready to start the D/L.


It doesn't do anything it says:


Problem connecting to tracker - timeout exceeded


Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 503: Connect failed


Problem connecting to tracker - [Error socket error] (10061, \" Connection refused\")


Problem connecting to tracker - (111, \'Connection refused\'


Generally just wait ... this normally means that the \'Tracker\' is maybe too busy. Leave your window open and it will try to connect every 2 minutes or so.


Note: BT dose resume downloads, just click the torrent file again when you are ready to resume the D/L and save it to same place as the original. All clients have an option for default D/L directory. I suggest setting this option.


My speed is always very slow!!!!!!!!!!


Speeds can be real slow if your one of the below, they all can bet set to allow BT in and out


#1 behind a firewall


#2 behind a router


#3 on a network


#4 Xps firewall is enabled


ports 6881 thru 6999 need to be open to get good speeds

PeerGuardian


What does PeerGuardian actually do?


PeerGuardian does two things to help P2P users. The first is the obvious one, it closes connections on certain IP addresses. The second is that it optionally logs all connections made to your computer. The reason for this is so that if you do use PeerGuardian but still get sent a legal threat, you can cross-reference the date/time of the alleged infringement with the log. This gives us a list of IPs, one of which will be the IP that's doing the busting. It's basically to help us identify which IPs are doing the busting and weren't known to PeerGuardian before. - Hope that makes sense.


Is PeerGuardian 100% Protection?


CERTAINLY NOT!!! - PeerGuardian relies on users sharing information to stay up to date. It IS contributory to protection and (I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet here!!) it seems to be the most up-to-date and open database of this nature on the internet (as far as I know). The more people who are using full-logging and report the relevant IPs when they get a C&D threat (see above paragraph), the more people we can save. ANONYMOUS P2P is the way ahead IMHO, PeerGuardian isn't 100% effective.. I've NEVER claimed that and never will and I look forward to the day that PG (not just the app, more.. the database and communication between p2p'ers on blocking IPs) becomes totally redundant. I'm just trying to help supply the next-best thing until we get to that stage.


I use PeerGuardian and have still been sent a legal threat.


What do I do?


First of all, stop sharing the file you got busted with. If you're worried, try sharing older/rarer files. If you share Bourne Identity, Terminator 3 and a load of Busta Rhymes mp3s after being busted, you'll be asking for trouble. Second thing to do, check the "full connection log" in PeerGuardian. (you did have it enabled didn't you?) - Work out the difference in timezones on the infringement warning and cross-reference it with the log. From this you should be able to identify a handful of IPs. Either post that list to the PG forums for one of our admins/moderators/members to investigate or investigate it yourself and post the p2p enemy IP to the on-line database. - There are plans to automate this whole process in the future.

How To Download Directly From Crackdb.com

Some of you may not know this, others may already knew it, however, because


of Sod rules which do no not allow indirect crack links, and because CrackDB


is a very good resource for cracks, i will show how to post links that lead


to a direct download from CrackDB.


The CrackDB server sends the archive of a crack as an attachment to the respond


for an HTTP request made by your browser, this means you (and your browser)


will never know the real location of the file, because of this you can't post a direct


link to the crack in your topic.


Using the Referer variable we can overcome this problem, but what referer to


use? if you used the domain name http://www.crackdb.com/


you will get nothing but a useless image file.


The correct refere is shown on your browser address bar. For example, if you


want the crack for IsoBuster Pro v1.6 you just type the name in the search box


and press Enter, the next page displays a list of items that match or nearly


match your search keywords, click on IsoBuster Pro v1.6 from the list and


you are now in the download page, the hyperlink named "Download" is the


link that initiates the request to the server to download the file, which looks


like this:



http://www.crackdb.com/x.php?id=12356





The referer is now displayed on your browser address bar, which looks like this:



http://www.crackdb.com/get.php?id=12356





Now, you use both links to refer to a direct crack download from CrackDB, like this


Fix:



http://www.crackdb.com/x.php?id=12356


Use this referer:


http://www.crackdb.com/get.php?id=12356





Any member now can copy & paste the links into his/her download manager and


start downloading immediatley.


I hope you find something usefull here. Thanx for reading this.

How To Download Movies, From IRC

First off welcome to the wonderful world of TMD!





--------------------- SETTING UP mIRC ---------------------


First of all you need to download mIRC from /http://www.mirc.com, this program will let you connect to the server and channel to download movies. Once installed run mIRC, and you will be presented with the mIRC options. The first thing you will see is the "Connect" options. Set the options as follows:


IRC Network: Select "Criten" from the dropdown list.


Full Name: Enter what you feel comfortable with.


Email Address: Enter your email address.


Nickname: Enter the nickname you want.


Alternative: If the nickname you picked isn't available this is the one it will use.


*If Criten isn't listed in the IRC Networks, hit the "Add" button.


Description: Criten


IRC Server: irc.Criten.net


Port(s): 6667


Group: Criten


Password: Leave Blank


Hit the "Add" Button to finish


Next we will move down to "DCC". Select "Auto-get file" (this will automaticly accept the files that are sent to you), click "YES" in the window that opens. Right next to the "Auto-get file" click on the "Minimize" option. Below that select select "Resume" from the drop-down list under "If file exists:". This option sets mIRC to automaticly resume any failed sends you may get instead of overwriting them.


Continuing in the "DCC" section, go down to "Folders". In the "DCC Ignore:" box select from the drop-down list "Disabled", then untick the "Turn ignore back on in:" box.


mIRC is now setup correctly to download movies from TMD! Hit "OK" on the bottom of the Options window and move on to the next part.





--------------- CONNECTING TO #TMD-MOVIEZ ---------------


In the upper left hand corner of mIRC you will see the "Connect" button in the tool bar, click it to connet to irc.Criten.net. Once it has connected (be patient it can take a while to finally connect on some days), a window will pop-up, this is the mIRC Channels list. On the right side of the window click the "Add" button. Another window will pop up, set it as follows:


Channel: Type in "#TMD-Moviez" (without the quotes)


Password: Leave blank.


Description: Just type in "TMD Moviez" or something of the sort.


Networks: Click the "Add" button and from the drop-down list select "Criten", then click "OK".


If you wish mIRC to automaticly connect to this channel once connected to the server, check the "Join channel on connect" box in the options. You may also wish to add the channel "#TMD" (Our chat channel) by repeating these steps.


Now click "OK" and it will show the mIRC Channels List again with the channel you just added. While the new channel is still selected click "Join" on the right side.


You can also type in /join #TMD-Moviez


A new window will appear with a bunch of text scrolling by, if you see this, than you did everything correctly! You are now in #TMD-Moviez! Move on to the next section for the fun part.





----------------- FINDING AND DOWNLOADING FILES -----------------


The things you see scrolling are ads and searches mainly. It is the ads that you may want to watch for. They consist of info about the server like this:


*********** Only an example server... Not a real one! ********


[2:29am] <TMD-Maveric> File Server Online Triggers:½/ctcp TMD-Maveric !Maveric's Moviez!╗ Min:½6.4 Kbs╗ Sends:½2/2╗ Queues:½10/10╗ Accessed:½3295 times╗ Online:½0/4╗ RCPS:½42.8 Kbs by kuki╗ Served:½95.6G in 785 files╗ Current BW:½41 Kbs╗ AQT:½1hr 15mins╗ Serving:½279 files╗ MOTD: -= :: (»`À.©©.->All the newest from distro!!<-.©©.À┤») :: =- ùI-n-v-i-s-i-o-nù


Really the only thing you need to know to get started is how to connect to the file server and get a file.


The trigger is what you type into the channel to connect to the server. The trigger above would be "/ctcp TMD-Maveric !Maveric's Moviez!" (without the quotes) as noted by the "Triggers:½ ╗" You always type what is inbetween the ½╗. You will know you are connected when a window pops up with:


Serving YourNickname


Waiting for acknowledgement...


DCC Chat connection established


Then you will see alot of text fly by which you can read if you want, but it is not needed. You will be left with something like this "[\]", that is the root directory of the server. To view the files in that directory you type "dir". At that point the directory contents will be show like this:


[2:40am] <TMD-Maveric> dir


[2:40am] <TMD-Maveric> [\*.*]


[2:40am] <TMD-Maveric> DVD RIPS


[2:40am] <TMD-Maveric> MOVIEZ


[2:41am] <TMD-Maveric> [tmd]csi.miami.s1.ep01.golden.parachute.(ftv).tvrip.(1of1).avi 121 mb


[2:41am] <TMD-Maveric> [tmd]csi.miami.s1.ep02.golden.losing.face.(ftv).tvrip.(1of1).avi 115 mb


[2:40am] <TMD-Maveric> End of list.


The ones in all caps are directories, and the others are files signified by the the name and size of the file. If you want to go to a directory you need to type "cd <directory name>". Then you need to type "dir" again to see the contents. You should see something like this:


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric>cd moviez


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> [\moviez]


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> dir


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> [\moviez\*.*]


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> ..


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> A RUMOR OF ANGELS


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> ALI G INDAHOUSE


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> AVENGING ANGELO


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> BALLISTIC - ECKS VS SEVER


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> BARBERSHOP


[2:44am] <TMD-Maveric> BARBERSHOP (UNCUT)


[2:45am] <TMD-Maveric> [tmd]nailed.(evil).scr.(1of2).avi 169 mb


[2:45am] <TMD-Maveric> [tmd]nailed.(evil).scr.(2of2).avi 59.3 mb


[2:45am] <TMD-Maveric> End of list.


Now to get a file you need to type "get <filename>". At that point you will either be sent the file, placed in queue for the file, of told that there isn't a free spot in the queue for you. Looking like this:


[2:50am] <TMD-Maveric> get [tmd]nailed.(evil).scr.(1of2).avi


[2:50am] <TMD-Maveric> Sending [tmd]nailed.(evil).scr.(1of2).avi ½169MB╗.


OR [2:50am] <TMD-Maveric>The file has been queued in slot 1


OR [2:50am] <TMD-Maveric> Sorry but the Maximum Allowed Queues of 10 has been reached. Please try again later.


The window may say something like "idle connection closing in 30 seconds", when you are finished either type "exit" or let the connection close. You will still get your download!


TIP: To quicky enter the filename you should copy and paste it. mIRC automaticly copys what ever text is selected to the clipboard. So select the filename (when you let go of the mouse button the selection will disappear) then use Ctrl+V (or right click and choose paste) to paste it.


A few other things you should know is how to go back a directory ("cd .."), how to see what files are sending ("sends"), and how to see who is in the queue ("queues").


Now to find the movie you are looking for.... As you may have seen in the chat screen you can search for what file you are looking for. This is done by using "@find <moviename>". So if you were looking for "The Ring" then you would type "@find the ring". If any matching files were found new windows will open with the results. You will see these flashing red in the top bar. Clicking on them will display the results for each server the file was found in, looking a bit like this:


<Nickname-of-server> [@Find Results] -=SysReset 2.50=-


<Nickname-of-server> Found [2] files on Trigger [/ctcp Nickname-of-server !TRIGGER!] - Queues: [20/25]


<Nickname-of-server> File: [The Ring\[tmd]the.ring.(ftf).ts.(2of2).avi] - Size [149.7MB]


<Nickname-of-server> File: [The Ring\[tmd]the.ring.(ftf).ts.(1of2).avi] - Size [130.1MB]


<Nickname-of-server> End of @Find.


The things to pay attention to is the trigger and the "Queues". The "queues" tell you how many people are in line to get a file from this server. [20/25] means there are 20 people in line out of an available 25 slots. The fewer amout of people in the queue the shorter amount of time you have to wait before downloading. Once you find a good server, type in the trigger that is show and you will be connected to the file server.


TIP: To close all the windows that opened as a result of the @find type "/close -m" in the channel.





----------------- COMMON ERRORS AND PROBLEMS -----------------


Error: "You need to identify a registered nick to join..."


Solution: To register: type in (without quotes) "/msg NickServ REGISTER password youremailaddress". That will register your current nickname using the password and email specified. To identify type in (without quotes) "/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password" where password is the password you registered with.


Problem: "The video doesn't play right!"


Solution: Be sure to download and install the TMD Codec. If after you have intalled the codec the video still doesn't work, make sure you download the entire file, the file sizes are listed on our MoveBot.


Error: "No more connections allowed in your connection class"


Solution: This just means the server is full. There is nothing to do but wait till it connects. Patience is a virtue!


Problem: "I have been banned from the channel, what do I do?"


Solution: Most bans only last a minute, so try to join the channel later. If you still can not join, then private message the OP that banned you in #TMD. To send a private message type "/msg <username> <message>" in the channel substituting <username> with the username of the person that banned you, and <message> with the message you want to send.


Problem: "I downloaded a movie but the quality is bad!"


Solution: There is nothing you can do about it! TMD encodes movies that were supplied by a "ripping" group. We encoded those files to make them more compact for easy downloading, while keeping the best quality we can. Some movies we get are bad quality to begin with, and we do what we can with what we have to work with.


Problem: "How do I know what new movies have been released?"


Solution: We have a bot in #TMD-Moviez and #TMD, simply type "!newmoviez" into the channel for the last 10 releases. Type "!moviebot" for all of the bots commands.





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It all can be quite confusing at first glance, but after a week or two it seems simple! Any other questions you may have can probably be answered by going to #TMD. I hope this helps everybody.

Then download the software called peer to mail:


http://dw.com.com/redir?pid=10351095&merid=72949&mfgid=72949&lop=link&edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3002-2196_4-10351095&ontId=2196&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.peer2mail.com%2FP2MSetup.exe


official website:


http://www.peer2mail.com


--------------------------------------------------------------


Next step : configurate the soft


go in settings > SMTP server setting


and give an smtp adress that u know


Ex: smtp.laposte.net


user : HULK


pass: ******


Once configurated u don't need to touch it for the rest pf ur upload


Image


This is a critical step, if u are experimenting any pb of connexion this is were u need to have a look:


This is possible that temporaly ur internet provider dont allow u to use other smtp adress than his. So use it


ie:


smtp.free.fr


smtp.wanadoo.fr


(these are french one I don't know of which one u are using)


...


If u are experimenting any pb it is better to desactivate ur antivirus (the scanning mail option)


Image





----------------------------------------------------------


Image


1 - Click on Splint/Send File.


2 - Click on the icon (choose a file to send.....).


3 - select the archive that u want to upload it.


4 - type the address of ur account (email).


5 - It determines the size of the parts that the archive will be divided ( take a look at the max size used by ur mail) i advise u to put a size of 6MB.


6 - It determines the type of sending. "send via smtp server"


After all that, press OK.


===========


press the selected button in the figure:


Image


===========


After all the parts have been sent,go to ur account (email) and confirms, then u have to bring the Encrypted password follows the example below:


Image


===========





Always give the following information to the users:


follows the example below:


Email: GMail


Login: zezão


Password: |/kjds42d4sd24 \|


remmember:


- only Encrypted Password, never sends ur true password


--------------------------------------------------


Be careful : never post ur coordinates without having previously verifyed the content in the mailbox


sometimes peer2mail tells u that evrything is sent but It can happens that nothing is sent





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


U want to download games and movies with a good speed ( thats what we all here for!)


So here is an easy way to download large files from mailbox


----------------------------------------------------


first download peer to mail


Image


official website:


http://www.peer2mail.com


----------------------------------------------------


Open it and go to the browse tab


---------------------------------------------------


then take the coordinates of the film/game u want to download


in this tutorial i'll use the film mulan :


mail: walla.com


login: dragon_mushu


pass: <(/++EiJPy)>


--------------------------------------------------


U noticed that the mail used is walla.com


so go to www.walla.com with the adress bar or with the prerecorded website (see picture)


Image

If everithing is fine the movie will be merge automatically


and u won't need to care about the segments


------------------------------------------------------


If u look for a place to share/download movies/games using peer2mail just go to the peer2mail website www.peer2mail.com. Then go to the forum and click on "peer2mail related websites".


here is the direct link (may not work)


http://www.peer2mail.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=13


----------------------------------------------------------------------


Here u are now u should be an expert on peer2mail!!!





-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Peer2Mail is the first software that let you store and share files on any web-mail account. If you have a web mail account with large storage space, you can use P2M to store files on it. Web-mail providers such as Gmail (Google Mail), Walla!, Yahoo and more, provide storage space that ranges from 100MB to 3GB.


P2M splits the file you want to share/store zips and encrypts it. P2M then sends the file segments one by one to your account. Once P2M uploaded all file segments, you can download them and use P2M to merge the segments back to the original file.


Sending a File


In order to send a file to an email account, Peer2Mail needs to split it into segments. Web-mail providers limit the size of an email attachment usually to a nominal 10Megs, but due to the size increase resulting from transport encodings, the limit works out to be a few MB less (Usually 7MB). Use the following dialog to prepare the file before sending:


* File Name - The file/s you want to send. You can use the Browse button to select a single or multiple files.


* Mail To - The recipients who will receive the file (Web-mail account). When using Direct Send you may enter only one email address. If you are sending Via MAPI then you can enter as many recipients as you like; Use the Recipients button to easily add email address separated by semi colon (icon_wink.gif.


* Optional Encryption Password - P2M automatically encrypts each segment to protect you privacy, however you can set a password (key) for the encryption to maximize the privacy. You will need this password when you merge the segments back.


* Segment Size - P2M splits the file into segments. Here you can determine the segment size, most of the web-mail providers limit the attachment size to a nominal 10Megs, but due to the size increase resulting from transport encodings, the limit works out to be a few MB less (Usually 7MB). It is recommended to test your web-mail provider for the size of an attachment it can receive.


Send Method -


o Direct Send - P2M has a built in SMTP component that sends the segments directly to the web-mail providers. You don't need to enter your ISP details in order to use P2M. If you are using this feature please make sure you enter a value in the 'From Email Address' because some web-mail providers reject email messages where there is no 'From' address. You can even enter a fake mail address.


o Send Via MAPI - P2M can send the segments using MAPI (Usually your outlook client). When you use this option P2M will split the files and move the sending responsibility to Outlook. Note that it will use your ISP SMTP server and details to send the files. You may enter as many recipients as you wish when using this option.


o Send Via SMTP Server - Send the segments using your ISP SMTP Server. If you are using this feature please make sure you enter a value in the 'From Email Address' because some web-mail providers reject email messages where there is no 'From' address. You can even enter a fake mail address. You may enter as many recipients as you wish when using this option.


* From Email Address - This is the source address of the mail. This address doesn't have to be valid, although sometimes web-mail providers reject emails where the domain part of the address isn't valid.

Once you are done, click on the Ok button. You can now choose if you want P2M to send all the segments or only specific few by checking/un-checking the checkboxes. Once you are ready, click on the Send button. It may take a few hours to complete the operation depending on the file size and your internet connection.


Note: If you are using an antivirus program that scans outgoing mail, it is recommended to disable this feature since it takes a long time for each segment to be scanned.





Plain Transfer


In case you don't want Peer2Mail to split, zip and encrypt your files, and just want to send the files "as is�" then you can use Plain Transfer. This option isn't secure. P2M just sends the file as an email attachment and some web mail providers might even block it.


Choose Plain Transfer from the drop down button: Image.


Once you are done filling the details as described above, click on the Ok button. Once you are ready, click on the Send button.


Note: If you are using an antivirus program that scans outgoing mail, it is recommended to disable this feature since it takes a long time for each segment to be scanned.





Downloading the Segments


P2M includes a built in browser so you can easily log into your web-mail account. Before you can merge the segments you need to download them. It is important that you will save all the segments into the same folder. The first segment name ends with the P2M extension and the rest follow with a serial number 001...00x.


Auto Download


Peer2Mail can automatically list and download files from web-mail accounts. Currently P2M supports auto-download from Gmail, Walla, Yahoo, Spymac, Unitedemailsystems, Xasamail, Gawab, Hriders and Omnilect. To use this feature, login to your account and click on the green download button (Image). P2M will then list the segments (may take a few minutes) and at any time you can tell P2M what segment to download by clicking on the checkboxes that appear next to them. Click on the Download button to begin downloading the selected segments.


If you checked the Auto Merge checkbox then Peer2Mail will automatically merge the segments once the download process is done


Image


The listing process can be a bit slow since P2M scans the mail account and gathers information about each attachment. Sometimes a server doesn't reply to a request so P2M might skip it. To fix that, once the listing process is over, click on the refresh button and P2M will re-index only the segments it didn't already list.


P2M scans for segments only in the inbox for Yahoo, Walla, Spymac, Unitedemailsystems, Xasamailand, Gawab, Hriders, Omnilect, and on all folders with Gmail.


Merging the Segments


Once you completed downloading all the segments, use P2M to merge it back to the original file. Choose the folder you want the file to be saved in and click on the Merge button. The Merge dialog:


# P2M File/s - use the Browse button to select the first segment of the file you wish to merge. The first segment extension is P2M.


# Decryption Password - If you used a password when you sent the file to your account, you must enter it now in order to merge it back. Incorrect password will result in a failure to merge the segments.

How to clear Bios info

READ EVEYTHING BEFORE YOU USE ANY METHOD LISTED BELOW


Basic BIOS password crack - works 9.9 times out of ten


This is a password hack but it clears the BIOS such that the next time you start the PC, the CMOS does not ask for any password. Now if you are able to bring the DOS prompt up, then you will be able to change the BIOS setting to the default. To clear the CMOS do the following:


Get DOS prompt and type:


DEBUG hit enter


-o 70 2e hit enter


-o 71 ff hit enter


-q hit enter


exit hit enter


Restart the computer. It works on most versions of the AWARD BIOS.


Accessing information on the hard disk


When you turn on the host machine, enter the CMOS setup menu (usually you have to press F2, or DEL, or CTRL+ALT+S during the boot sequence) and go to STANDARD CMOS SETUP, and set the channel to which you have put the hard disk as TYPE=Auto, MODE=AUTO, then SAVE & EXIT SETUP. Now you have access to the hard disk.


Standard BIOS backdoor passwords


The first, less invasive, attempt to bypass a BIOS password is to try on of these standard manufacturer's backdoor passwords:


AWARD BIOS


AWARD SW, AWARD_SW, Award SW, AWARD PW, _award, awkward, J64, j256, j262, j332, j322, 01322222, 589589, 589721, 595595, 598598, HLT, SER, SKY_FOX, aLLy, aLLY, Condo, CONCAT, TTPTHA, aPAf, HLT, KDD, ZBAAACA, ZAAADA, ZJAAADC, djonet, %øåñòü ïpîáåëîâ%, %äåâÿòü ïpîáåëîâ%


AMI BIOS


AMI, A.M.I., AMI SW, AMI_SW, BIOS, PASSWORD, HEWITT RAND, Oder


Other passwords you may try (for AMI/AWARD or other BIOSes)


LKWPETER, lkwpeter, BIOSTAR, biostar, BIOSSTAR, biosstar, ALFAROME, Syxz, Wodj


Note that the key associated to "_" in the US keyboard corresponds to "?" in some European keyboards (such as Italian and German ones), so -- for example -- you should type AWARD?SW when using those keyboards. Also remember that passwords are Case Sensitive. The last two passwords in the AWARD BIOS list are in Russian.


Flashing BIOS via software


If you have access to the computer when it's turned on, you could try one of those programs that remove the password from the BIOS, by invalidating its memory.


However, it might happen you don't have one of those programs when you have access to the computer, so you'd better learn how to do manually what they do. You can reset the BIOS to its default values using the MS-DOS tool DEBUG (type DEBUG at the command prompt. You'd better do it in pure MS-DOS mode, not from a MS-DOS shell window in Windows). Once you are in the debug environment enter the following commands:


AMI/AWARD BIOS


O 70 17


O 71 17


Q


PHOENIX BIOS


O 70 FF


O 71 17


Q


GENERIC


Invalidates CMOS RAM.


Should work on all AT motherboards


(XT motherboards don't have CMOS)


O 70 2E


O 71 FF


Q


Note that the first letter is a "O" not the number "0". The numbers which follow are two bytes in hex format.


Flashing BIOS via hardware


If you can't access the computer when it's on, and the standard backdoor passwords didn't work, you'll have to flash the BIOS via hardware. Please read the important notes at the end of this section before to try any of these methods.


Using the jumpers


The canonical way to flash the BIOS via hardware is to plug, unplug, or switch a jumper on the motherboard (for "switching a jumper" I mean that you find a jumper that joins the central pin and a side pin of a group of three pins, you should then unplug the jumper and then plug it to the central pin and to the pin on the opposite side, so if the jumper is normally on position 1-2, you have to put it on position 2-3, or vice versa). This jumper is not always located near to the BIOS, but could be anywhere on the motherboard.


To find the correct jumper you should read the motherboard's manual.


Once you've located the correct jumper, switch it (or plug or unplug it, depending from what the manual says) while the computer is turned OFF. Wait a couple of seconds then put the jumper back to its original position. In some motherboards it may happen that the computer will automatically turn itself on, after flashing the BIOS. In this case, turn it off, and put the jumper back to its original position, then turn it on again. Other motherboards require you turn the computer on for a few seconds to flash the BIOS.


If you don't have the motherboard's manual, you'll have to "brute force" it... trying out all the jumpers. In this case, try first the isolated ones (not in a group), the ones near to the BIOS, and the ones you can switch (as I explained before). If all them fail, try all the others. However, you must modify the status of only one jumper per attempt, otherwise you could damage the motherboard (since you don't know what the jumper you modified is actually meant for). If the password request screen still appear, try another one.


If after flashing the BIOS, the computer won't boot when you turn it on, turn it off, and wait some seconds before to retry.


Removing the battery


If you can't find the jumper to flash the BIOS or if such jumper doesn't exist, you can remove the battery that keeps the BIOS memory alive. It's a button-size battery somewhere on the motherboard (on elder computers the battery could be a small, typically blue, cylinder soldered to the motherboard, but usually has a jumper on its side to disconnect it, otherwise you'll have to unsolder it and then solder it back). Take it away for 15-30 minutes or more, then put it back and the data contained into the BIOS memory should be volatilized. I'd suggest you to remove it for about one hour to be sure, because if you put it back when the data aren't erased yet you'll have to wait more time, as you've never removed it. If at first it doesn't work, try to remove the battery overnight.


Important note: in laptop and notebooks you don't have to remove the computer's power batteries (which would be useless), but you should open your computer and remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard.


Short-circuiting the chip


Another way to clear the CMOS RAM is to reset it by short circuiting two pins of the BIOS chip for a few seconds. You can do that with a small piece of electric wire or with a bent paper clip. Always make sure that the computer is turned OFF before to try this operation.


Here is a list of EPROM chips that are commonly used in the BIOS industry. You may find similar chips with different names if they are compatible chips made by another brand. If you find the BIOS chip you are working on matches with one of the following you can try to short-circuit the appropriate pins. Be careful, because this operation may damage the chip.


CHIPS P82C206 (square)


Short together pins 12 and 32 (the first and the last pins on the bottom edge of the chip) or pins 74 and 75 (the two pins on the upper left corner).

Dallas DS1287, DS1287A


Benchmarq bp3287MT, bq3287AMT


The Dallas DS1287 and DS1287A, and the compatible Benchmarq bp3287MT and bq3287AMT chips have a built-in battery. This battery should last up to ten years. Any motherboard using these chips should not have an additional battery (this means you can't flash the BIOS by removing a battery). When the battery fails, the RTC chip would be replaced.


CMOS RAM can be cleared on the 1287A and 3287AMT chips by shorting pins 12 and 21.


The 1287 (and 3287MT) differ from the 1287A in that the CMOS RAM can't be cleared. If there is a problem such as a forgotten password, the chip must be replaced. (In this case it is recommended to replace the 1287 with a 1287A). Also the Dallas 12887 and 12887A are similar but contain twice as much CMOS RAM storage.

Replacing the chip


If nothing works, you could replace the existing BIOS chip with a new one you can buy from your specialized electronic shop or your computer supplier. It's a quick operation if the chip is inserted on a base and not soldered to the motherboard, otherwise you'll have to unsolder it and then put the new one. In this case would be more convenient to solder a base on which you'll then plug the new chip, in the eventuality that you'll have to change it again. If you can't find the BIOS chip specifically made for your motherboard, you should buy one of the same type (probably one of the ones shown above) and look in your motherboard manufacturer's website to see if there's the BIOS image to download. Then you should copy that image on the chip you bought with an EPROM programmer.


Important


Whether is the method you use, when you flash the BIOS not only the password, but also all the other configuration data will be reset to the factory defaults, so when you are booting for the first time after a BIOS flash, you should enter the CMOS configuration menu (as explained before) and fix up some things.


Also, when you boot Windows, it may happen that it finds some new device, because of the new configuration of the BIOS, in this case you'll probably need the Windows installation CD because Windows may ask you for some external files. If Windows doesn't see the CD-ROM try to eject and re-insert the CD-ROM again. If Windows can't find the CD-ROM drive and you set it properly from the BIOS config, just reboot with the reset key, and in the next run Windows should find it. However most files needed by the system while installing new hardware could also be found in C:WINDOWS, C:WINDOWSSYSTEM, or C:WINDOWSINF .


Key Disk for Toshiba laptops


Some Toshiba notebooks allow to bypass BIOS by inserting a "key-disk" in the floppy disk drive while booting. To create a Toshiba Keydisk, take a 720Kb or 1.44Mb floppy disk, format it (if it's not formatted yet), then use a hex editor such as Hex Workshop (***.bpsoft.com/downloads/index.html) to change the first five bytes of the second sector (the one after the boot sector) and set them to 4B 45 59 00 00 (note that the first three bytes are the ASCII for "KEY" followed by two zeroes). Once you have created the key disk put it into the notebook's drive and turn it on, then push the reset button and when asked for password, press Enter. You will be asked to Set Password again. Press Y and Enter. You'll enter the BIOS configuration where you can set a new password.


Key protected cases


A final note about those old computers (up to 486 and early Pentiums) protected with a key that prevented the use of the mouse and the keyboard or the power button. All you have to do with them is to follow the wires connected to the key hole, locate the jumper to which they are connected and unplug it.

How To Convert File System, fat - fat32 to ntfs

How To Convert File System, fat - fat32 to ntfs


open a dos prompt and give the command


convert d: /fs:ntfs


this command would convert your d: drive to ntfs.


if the system cannot lock the drive, you will be prompted to convert it during next reboot.


Normally you should select yes.


Conversion from fat/fat32 to ntfs is non-destructive, your data on the drive will NOT be lost.


Be aware that converting to ntfs will make that partition of your


drive unreadable under dos unless you have ntfs utilites to do so.

How to copy songs from your iPod to your PC

How to copy songs from your iPod to your PC


A reader points out a straightforward way for Windows users to transfer music from an iPod to your hard drive, without extra software:


1. Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.


2. In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.


3. Navigate to the Music folder.


4. Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.


And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.")


If you give this a go, lemme know how it goes. I'll ammend the instructions with any additional info for other versions of Windows and iPods.





Just for the record, I did not write this article, but I would have known how to do this. But one thing I ahve noticed is that you do not need to go into the control panel. Instead just make explorer.exe show hidden folders. Then, navigate into the iPod directory, go into iPod_control, and follow step four of the article. Software

How To Customise Your start Button

First you need a tool called "Resource Hacker". This free program allows you to change resources in any .exe file such as "Explorer.exe", which includes the [Start] button's Label. You can visit Download.com and search there for "Resource Hacker".


After you download it, follow the guide here:


Step 1:


A - Run "Resource Hacker" and open the file "%windir%\Explorer.exe".


B - You see a Tree of all Resources in this file, expand the "String Table"


C - Find the "start" and replace it with your own text. then press the [Compile Script] button.


D - Save "Explorer.exe" as "MyStart.exe" DONT save it as Explorer.exe, do "save as.." and give it a new name.


E - Quit "Resource Hacker".


Step 2:


A - Click on the [Start] button and choose the "Run..." item from the start menu. (Or use the shortcut key WinKey+R)

How To Disable Picture And Fax Viewer

We all know that WinXP likes to keep itself held together, and how it doesnt like you uninstalling certain components. Well The Picture and Fax Viewer, is one of these programs which can cause problems if removed incorrectly. It can be disabled safely as follows:


[Start] [Run] type regedit and click [OK]


Navigate to :


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/ SystemFileAssociations/ image/ ShellEx/ ContextMenuHandlers


then delete the Folder ShellImagePreview under ContextMenuHandlers


Note: If you want to restore the Picture and Fax Viewer :


Create the ShellImagePreview folder and create the String Value (Default)


Assign it the value {e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}


NOTE: This tweak doesnt uninstall the program. It removes the association and therefore it cannot be run.

HOW TO BLOCK PEOPLE ON WINMX WHO SHARE NOTHING




Some people seem to think our network is a kind of a store a they just pick what they want without sharing anything!


(and other considere our net as a schoolyard where one "trade"... Childish!)


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


You can help everybody getting rid of them by boycotting them that way:


You "browse" each uploading user.





** If he/she shares more than, say, a hundred files (and NOT in the WinMx directory only, putting them elsewhere and unshared when entirely downloaded !!!), OK.


NB: a hundred is not a lot but 1- we don't all have a large HDD and some files are big 2- when you begin...!


** If not:


You can send a message to him/her to ask why there is no real share, or not at all, for they can have forgotten to do so: give them a chance! The first time, I didn't understand that I had to choose the shared files types, so I shared nothing, unwillingly. Somebody told it to me in a message.


If no answer and/or still no shared file, you can exclude the selfish beast:


(Thanks to dwhite who gave the modus operandi on the WinMx net)


To block somebody from downloading, add the name to your HOTLIST (right-click the name then "Add to hotlist") then to your IGNORE list.


You won't receive any messages nor will they enter your queue, during that session at least.


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


On the contrary, you can help people who share a lot by starting the tranfer when they are in your queue, or give a higher bandwith priority...

How To Boot Xp Faster (updated).txt

First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one HDD on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP, there's an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and there's no need to erease any other files as the new prefetch option in XP really improves loading time of installed programs. We only want WindowsXP to boot faster and not decrease its performance. Thanks to Rod Cahoon (for the prefetch automation process...with a minor change of mine) and Zeb for the IDE Channel tweak as those two tricks, coupled together with a little modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup:


1. Open notepad.exe, type "del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c:


2. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "gpedit.msc".


3. Double click "Windows Settings" under "Computer Configuration" and double click again on "Shutdown" in the right window.


4. In the new window, click "add", "Browse", locate your "ntosboot.bat" file & click "Open".


5. Click "OK", "Apply" & "OK" once again to exit.


6. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "devmgmt.msc".


7. Double click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"


8. Right click on "Primary IDE Channel" and select "Properties".


9. Select the "Advanced Settings" tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn't have 'device type' greyed out select 'none' instead of 'autodetect' & click "OK".


10. Right click on "Secondary IDE channel", select "Properties" and repeat step 9.


11. Reboot your computer.


WindowsXP should now boot REALLY faster.

However, it might happen you don't have one of those programs when you have access to the computer, so you'd better learn how to do manually what they do. You can reset the BIOS to its default values using the MS-DOS tool DEBUG (type DEBUG at the command prompt. You'd better do it in pure MS-DOS mode, not from a MS-DOS shell window in Windows). Once you are in the debug environment enter the following commands:


AMI/AWARD BIOS


O 70 17


O 71 17


Q


PHOENIX BIOS


O 70 FF


O 71 17


Q


GENERIC


Invalidates CMOS RAM.


Should work on all AT motherboards


(XT motherboards don't have CMOS)


O 70 2E


O 71 FF


Q


Note that the first letter is a "O" not the number "0". The numbers which follow are two bytes in hex format.


Flashing BIOS via hardware


If you can't access the computer when it's on, and the standard backdoor passwords didn't work, you'll have to flash the BIOS via hardware. Please read the important notes at the end of this section before to try any of these methods.


Using the jumpers


The canonical way to flash the BIOS via hardware is to plug, unplug, or switch a jumper on the motherboard (for "switching a jumper" I mean that you find a jumper that joins the central pin and a side pin of a group of three pins, you should then unplug the jumper and then plug it to the central pin and to the pin on the opposite side, so if the jumper is normally on position 1-2, you have to put it on position 2-3, or vice versa). This jumper is not always located near to the BIOS, but could be anywhere on the motherboard.


To find the correct jumper you should read the motherboard's manual.


Once you've located the correct jumper, switch it (or plug or unplug it, depending from what the manual says) while the computer is turned OFF. Wait a couple of seconds then put the jumper back to its original position. In some motherboards it may happen that the computer will automatically turn itself on, after flashing the BIOS. In this case, turn it off, and put the jumper back to its original position, then turn it on again. Other motherboards require you turn the computer on for a few seconds to flash the BIOS.


If you don't have the motherboard's manual, you'll have to "brute force" it... trying out all the jumpers. In this case, try first the isolated ones (not in a group), the ones near to the BIOS, and the ones you can switch (as I explained before). If all them fail, try all the others. However, you must modify the status of only one jumper per attempt, otherwise you could damage the motherboard (since you don't know what the jumper you modified is actually meant for). If the password request screen still appear, try another one.


If after flashing the BIOS, the computer won't boot when you turn it on, turn it off, and wait some seconds before to retry.


Removing the battery


If you can't find the jumper to flash the BIOS or if such jumper doesn't exist, you can remove the battery that keeps the BIOS memory alive. It's a button-size battery somewhere on the motherboard (on elder computers the battery could be a small, typically blue, cylinder soldered to the motherboard, but usually has a jumper on its side to disconnect it, otherwise you'll have to unsolder it and then solder it back). Take it away for 15-30 minutes or more, then put it back and the data contained into the BIOS memory should be volatilized. I'd suggest you to remove it for about one hour to be sure, because if you put it back when the data aren't erased yet you'll have to wait more time, as you've never removed it. If at first it doesn't work, try to remove the battery overnight.


Important note: in laptop and notebooks you don't have to remove the computer's power batteries (which would be useless), but you should open your computer and remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard.


Short-circuiting the chip


Another way to clear the CMOS RAM is to reset it by short circuiting two pins of the BIOS chip for a few seconds. You can do that with a small piece of electric wire or with a bent paper clip. Always make sure that the computer is turned OFF before to try this operation.


Here is a list of EPROM chips that are commonly used in the BIOS industry. You may find similar chips with different names if they are compatible chips made by another brand. If you find the BIOS chip you are working on matches with one of the following you can try to short-circuit the appropriate pins. Be careful, because this operation may damage the chip.


CHIPS P82C206 (square)


Short together pins 12 and 32 (the first and the last pins on the bottom edge of the chip) or pins 74 and 75 (the two pins on the upper left corner).

Dallas DS1287, DS1287A


Benchmarq bp3287MT, bq3287AMT


The Dallas DS1287 and DS1287A, and the compatible Benchmarq bp3287MT and bq3287AMT chips have a built-in battery. This battery should last up to ten years. Any motherboard using these chips should not have an additional battery (this means you can't flash the BIOS by removing a battery). When the battery fails, the RTC chip would be replaced.


CMOS RAM can be cleared on the 1287A and 3287AMT chips by shorting pins 12 and 21.


The 1287 (and 3287MT) differ from the 1287A in that the CMOS RAM can't be cleared. If there is a problem such as a forgotten password, the chip must be replaced. (In this case it is recommended to replace the 1287 with a 1287A). Also the Dallas 12887 and 12887A are similar but contain twice as much CMOS RAM storage.

Replacing the chip


If nothing works, you could replace the existing BIOS chip with a new one you can buy from your specialized electronic shop or your computer supplier. It's a quick operation if the chip is inserted on a base and not soldered to the motherboard, otherwise you'll have to unsolder it and then put the new one. In this case would be more convenient to solder a base on which you'll then plug the new chip, in the eventuality that you'll have to change it again. If you can't find the BIOS chip specifically made for your motherboard, you should buy one of the same type (probably one of the ones shown above) and look in your motherboard manufacturer's website to see if there's the BIOS image to download. Then you should copy that image on the chip you bought with an EPROM programmer.


Important


Whether is the method you use, when you flash the BIOS not only the password, but also all the other configuration data will be reset to the factory defaults, so when you are booting for the first time after a BIOS flash, you should enter the CMOS configuration menu (as explained before) and fix up some things.


Also, when you boot Windows, it may happen that it finds some new device, because of the new configuration of the BIOS, in this case you'll probably need the Windows installation CD because Windows may ask you for some external files. If Windows doesn't see the CD-ROM try to eject and re-insert the CD-ROM again. If Windows can't find the CD-ROM drive and you set it properly from the BIOS config, just reboot with the reset key, and in the next run Windows should find it. However most files needed by the system while installing new hardware could also be found in C:WINDOWS, C:WINDOWSSYSTEM, or C:WINDOWSINF .


Key Disk for Toshiba laptops


Some Toshiba notebooks allow to bypass BIOS by inserting a "key-disk" in the floppy disk drive while booting. To create a Toshiba Keydisk, take a 720Kb or 1.44Mb floppy disk, format it (if it's not formatted yet), then use a hex editor such as Hex Workshop (***.bpsoft.com/downloads/index.html) to change the first five bytes of the second sector (the one after the boot sector) and set them to 4B 45 59 00 00 (note that the first three bytes are the ASCII for "KEY" followed by two zeroes). Once you have created the key disk put it into the notebook's drive and turn it on, then push the reset button and when asked for password, press Enter. You will be asked to Set Password again. Press Y and Enter. You'll enter the BIOS configuration where you can set a new password.


Key protected cases


A final note about those old computers (up to 486 and early Pentiums) protected with a key that prevented the use of the mouse and the keyboard or the power button. All you have to do with them is to follow the wires connected to the key hole, locate the jumper to which they are connected and unplug it.

How to build a black box

How to build a black box?


I found this tutorial quite a long time ago and I don't know if it still works. Nevertheless , it might be interresting to read, you might even learn something from it! I would have gladly given credit to it's author but won't since I have no idea who he is. So here is his tutorial that remained unchanged ( I hope!):


A BLACK BOX


is a device that is hooked up to your phone that fixes your phone so that when you get a call, the caller doesn't get charged for the call. This is good for calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour the phone Co. gets suspicious, and then you can guess what happens.


What this little beauty does is keep the line voltage from dropping to 10v when you answer your fone. The line is instead kept at 36v and it will make the fone think that it is still ringing while your talking. The reason for the 1/2 hour time limit is that the


phone CO. thinks that something is wrong after 1/2 an hour of ringing.


All parts are available at Radio Shack. Using the least possible parts and arangement, the cost is $0.98 !!!! And that is parts for two of them! Talk about a deal! If you want to splurge then you can get a small PC board, and a switch. There are two


schematics for this box, one is for most normal fones. The second one is


for fones that don't work with the first. It was made for use with a Bell


Trimline touch tone fone.

You may just have two wires which you connect together for the switch.

Here is the PC board layout that I recommend using. It is neat and is very easy to hook up.

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


Once you have hooked up all the parts, you must figure out what set of wires go to the line and which go to the fone. This is because of the fact that LED's must be put in, in a certain direction. Depending on which way you put the LED is what controls what wires are for the line & fone.


How to find out:


Hook up the box in one direction using one set offor line and the other for fone.


*NOTE* For Model I switch should be OFF.


*NOTE* For Model ][ switch should be set to side connecting the led.


Once you have hooked it up, then pick up the fone and see if the LED is on. If it is, the LED will be lit. If is doesn't light then switch the wires and try again. Once you know which are which then label them. *NOTE* - If neither directions worked then your


�lable the switch in its current position as BOX ON.


How to use it:


The purpose of this box is for poeple who call you not to pay so it would make


sence that it can only be used to receive! calls. When the box is *ON* then you may only recieve calls. Your fone will ring like normal and the LED on the box will flash. If you answer the fone now, then the LED will light and the caller will not be charged. Hang up the fone after you are done talking like normal. You will not be able to get a dial-tone or call when the box is on, so turn the box *OFF* for normal calls. I don't recommend that you leave it on all the time, as you don't want it to answer when Ma Bell calls!


Hope it brought something to those who read it.

How To Bypass Web Filters, tutorial

How to bypass web filters


There are several occasions where you will be at a public te How to bypass web filters


rminal, and require access to a particular website that is blocked for some reason or another. How to bypass these restrictions is a very common question, and will be covered here.


Lets pretend for a moment that the Internet is made up of 26 websites, A-Z. The web filter blocks your browser from accessing sites X-Z, but not sites A-W. Simply make the browser think you're going to A-


W. There are a variety of ways to do this:





Proxy Servers:


This is a list of http proxies. These sites may not be up forever, so you may need to search for "free http proxy" or "public proxy servers" or other similar terms.


Proxy server lists:


http://www.aliveproxy.com


http://www.multiproxy.org


http://www.publicproxyservers.com/index.html


http://www.tehbox.com/proxy


http://www.proxz.com


http://www.proxy4free.com/index.html


http://free-proxies.com


Now that you have a list of proxies, you would open IE (internet explorer) and click on Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Advanced. Enter the address and port of one of the servers from the list in the proper area (http) and make sure the "use a proxy server for your LAN" option is selected. Remember to replace the proxy and port at your terminal to the original when you're done.


*Note: Some proxies listed may not work, and this method may decrease your surfing speed. By trying various entries, you'll find one that works, or works faster.


The infamous translation trick:


Go to a web page translation site and use their services to "translate a page to English" thus accessing the blocked page through their trusted site.


You'll notice that several translation sites are blocked, but by using less popular ones, this method can still be effective. Here is a list of some translation services. Again, these sites may not be up forever, so you may need to search for them.


http://babelfish.altavista.com


http://world.altavista.com


http://translation.langenberg.com


http://freetranslation.com/web.thm


Url Scripting:


Url scripting is the easiest method. It works on a select few web filters and is based on the same principal as the translation trick. By typing and address like "www.yahoo.com@www.restricted_site.com the filter will not go into effect as it recognizes the trusted site (in this case yahoo.com)


Other tricks:


Simply open the command prompt and type:


Ping restricted.com ? restricted.com obviously being the restricted site


At this point you can take down the IP address (ex. 216.109.124.73) and enter it into the browser. If access to the command prompt is also restricted, see "How to bypass restrictions to get to the command prompt." If this article has been taken from information leak, then know that it involves anything from opening the browser, selecting view > source, then saving it as X.bat and opening it to opening a folder or browser and typing in the location of cmd.exe depending on the OS. I will not go into further, as this a completely different topic.


Use https://restrictedsite.com as referring to it as a secured site may confuse the filter.


Note: These are ancient methods that many new filters defend against, but still may be applicable in your situation. If not, a little history never hurt anyone.


Web based Proxies:


Another one of the easier, yet effective methods include web based proxies. These are simple in the fact that you just enter the restricted address and surf! Some of these have some restrictions, like daily usage limits, etc but you can also use another proxy (perhaps one that sucks, like a text only) to bypass their restrictions as well. Here is a list of some:

Proxy Programs:


There are many proxy programs that allow you to surf anonymously that are more or less based on the same topics we've covered here. I've added them just to cover the topic thoroughly:

Making your own CGI proxy server:


Making your own proxy server may come in handy, but I personally find that simply uploading a txt file/w a list of proxies to a free host makes for a much easier and headache free solution. If you don't know PERL, there is code out there to help you set it up. Check out these sites for more info:

Admin Access:


When all else fails, you can simply take over the PC and alter or delete the damn filter. This method varies according to the OS (operating system) you are dealing with. Please see "Hacking Windows NT" for more information. If this tutorial has been taken from information leak, then I will go as far as to say it involves booting the PC in another OS, copying the SAM file and cracking it using a program like saminside or LC5 rather than start a whole new topic within one.
