Change IP

How to change your IP address

If you want to change your IP address on your home computer, there are few ways that might work for you—some simple, some not. Before trying more complicated/technical methods described below, you can try something that's very easy.

• Simply turn off or unplug your modem for about five minutes. (You don't have to turn your computer off.) In many cases this alone will change your IP address when you go back online.
• If that doesn't work, try unplugging your modem overnight and checking your IP address the next morning.

To check the IP address you're currently using, simply go to our homepage. Hopefully one of these simpler steps will give you the result you wanted.

Have laptop, go mobile

If you have a laptop, you can switch to a new IP address very easily, if only temporarily—but you can do it anytime you want.
Just go to any coffee shop, bookstore or other place that offers free wireless Internet (Wi-Fi^®). Your IP address will automatically change because you'll be using a different Internet connection to send email or join chat rooms.

How about a proxy?

If you're trying to change your IP address primarily because you want to access web-based forums, you may wish to look into using a proxy server. Learn more by reading our article on proxies.

What next?

If you're not the technical type, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) and ask them if they are able to change your IP address or how long your connection needs to be off for your IP address to change.
If you're up for more-advanced methods, and you use Windows, try the steps below and see if your IP address changes.

For Windows users

- Computer connected directly to a cable or DSL modem

1. Get to a command prompt. (START, run, cmd).
   
2. Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
3. Shut down computer.
4. Turn off computer.
5. Turn off all ethernet hubs/switches.
6. Turn off cable/DSL modem.
7. Leave off overnight.
8. Turn everything back on.

For networks using a Router

1. Log into the router's admin console. (Often http://192.168.1.1/)
2. Release the IP address (method varies by router manufacturer)
3. Turn off router, ethernet hubs/switches, and the cable/DSL modem
4. Leave off overnight
5. Next day, turn everything back on

If you are using a cable/DSL modem and a router, you may wish to connect your computer directly to the cable/DSL modem. Please note that this could significantly impact your system security.
If you have a router and you're still not having any luck, check to see if there is a "Clone MAC Address" option. Using it should change your IP address; however, in most cases you'll only be able to do it once.
If this does not answer your question, please visit the change IP address forum.

Hack Windows Admin

Hack Windows Admin

Today, i am going to show you many aspects of the Windows Password Storage path, Method of Encryption, and breaking into Windows by cracking the admin password. We need this often for many reasons:
1) Sometime we have forgotten our old password and Hint isn't helping out.
2) We want to break into someone computer to get the information.
3) Just want to take revenge from someone.
4) Stealing computer data.

Lets, take a deep dive in Cracking Windows password and also where these are stored and in which format.

SAM file and Password Hashes~Place where these passwords are stored in Hashes:
Password Hashes - When you type your password into a Windows NT, 2000, or XP login Windows Seven, Vista etc Windows encrypts your password using a specific encryption scheme that turns your password into something that looks like this:

                    7524248b4d2c9a9eadd3b435c51404eddc5

This is a password Hash. This is what is actually being checked against when you type your password in. It encrypts what you typed and bounces it against what is stored in the Registry and/or SAM File. 

You can break this hash password from

www.md5hash.com

www.passcracking.ru

SAM File - Holds the user names and password hashes for every account on the local machine, or domain if it is a domain controller.

Location of SAM/Hashes:
You can find what you're looking for in several locations on a given machine.
It can be found on the hard drive in the folder %systemroot%system32config (i-e C:\windows\system32\config). However this folder is locked to all accounts including Administrator while the machine is running. The only account that can access the SAM file during operation is the "System" account.

The second location of the SAM or corresponding hashes can be found in the registry. It can be found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESAM. This is also locked to all users, including Administrator, while the machine is in use.(GO to Run and Type Regedit and Hit enter, Now scroll to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESAM, However you may not access to it.)

 

So the two (Some other also) locations of the SAMHashes are:
- %systemroot%system32config
- In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESAM

Cracking or Breaking Into Admin Account:
How to get Hashes form SAM file?
Well, Below are the methods to do so:
1) Well, the easiest way to do this is to boot your target machine to an alternate OS like NTFSDOS or Linux and just copy the SAM from the %systemroot%system32config  folder.

It's quick, it's easy, and it's effective. You can get a copy of NTFSDOS from Sysinternals(http://www.sysinternals.com) The regular version of NTFSDOS is freeware, which is always nice, but only allows for Read-Only access. This should be fine for what you want to do, however, if you're the kind of person that just has to have total control and has some money to burn. NTFSDOS Pro, which is also by Sysinternals has read/write access but it'll cost you $299.

2) You can also get password hashes by using pwdump2 (Google It to get software ~ Search at openwall.com). pwdump uses .DLL injection in order to use the system account to view and get the password hashes stored in the registry. It then obtains the hashes from the registry and stores them in a handy little text file that you can then  paste them into a password cracking utility like l0phtcrack or John the ripper (Linux Based works well) also cain and abel can be used. 

3) Import Hashes directly from l0phtcrack, and let them open to you by cracking.


Obtained Hashes? Now crack them:
Well, as i have said that these can't be reversed but somehow automated famous cracking softwares can be used to achieve the target. Yes, it is possible, All we have to do is to have a bit patience. The software will use a lot of strings and will compare these hashes also, Inshort it will decode them.

1) John the Ripper - John the Ripper is to many, the old standby password cracker. It is command line which makes it nice if you're doing some scripting, and best of all it's free and in open source. The only real thing that JtR is lacking is the ability to launch Brute Force attacks against your password file. But look at it this way, even though it is only a dictionary cracker, that will probably be all you need. I would say that in my experience I can find about 85-90% of the passwords in a given file by using just a dictionary attack.

2) L0phtCrack - Probably the most wildly popular password cracker out there. L0phtCrack is sold by the folks at @Stake. And with a pricetag of $249 for a single user license it sure seems like every one owns it. This is probably the nicest password cracker you will ever see. With the ability to import hashes directly from the registry pwdump and dictionary, hybrid, and brute-force capabilities. No password should last long. Well, I shouldn't say "no password". But almost all will fall to L0phtCrack given enough time.

Making Your Own Password in Windows:
Injecting Password Hashes into the SAM:
Easiest ways to gain Administrator privileges on a machine, is by injecting your own password hashes into the SAM file. In order to do this you will need physical access to the machine and a brain larger than a peanut. Using a utility called "chntpw" by Petter Nordhal-Hagen you can inject whatever password you wish into the SAM file of any NT, 2000, or XP machine thereby giving you total control, just burn the .iso on a disk and use it. I would give a tip like backing up the SAM file first by using an alternate OS.Make a USB disk of linux or Windows Live dsik can also work. Go in, inject the password of your choosing. Login using your new password. Do what you need to do. Then restore the original SAM so that no one will know that i was hacked.

How to lock any file or folder without any software :
Most of us have private data. Not all of us have a
private computer to keep that data. So, we just end
up with other people viewing thatdata. Although
password protecting software do work, it is almost
useless to hide private data with these software
(becausewe are always questioned as to what it is
that we are hiding with the help of these software).
Hidden folders do not work as they can be easily
searched with Windows Search. So, we need an
alternative way to create hidden password protected
folders which only we can access. And that is exactly
what we will learn in this post.
With this trick, you can create a secure password
protected folderin Windows which no one except you
can access. To use this trick, follow the instructions
given below:-
1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste the exact code given below:-
cls
@ECHO OFF
title pc-tricks
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-
A2DD- 08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST MyFolder goto MDMyFolder
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure to lock this folder? (Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren MyFolder "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-
A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-
A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock Your Secure Folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== your password goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-
A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD
-08002B30309D}"MyFolder
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDMyFolder
md MyFolder
echo MyFolder created successfully
goto End
:End
3. Click on the File Menu. Click on Save As.
4. Select All Types (or all files) in the Save As Type
dropdown menu. Save the file as *.bat or Locker.bat
After creating the file, double click on the Saved
file. A new folder willbe created. Enter your data in
the folder. Again, double click on the batch file.
Type Y and press Enter. The folder will be hidden
from view.
To re-view your folder, double click on the saved
batch file. Enter password as
" your password " without quotes("") and press Enter
key. This is also the default password. Your folder
will be visible again.
To change the default password, delete "your
password" and type the password you want to use .
The overall usability of this trick can be improved by
deleting the batch file after hiding your folder and
re-creating it when you wish to access your folder
again.
Note : This works on Windows 7,WINDOWS 8, Windows
XP and Vista. First try this on useless data to be
sure and then only hide your personal data.
