Hacker breaks into Obama's Twitter account

WASHINGTON, USA: A French hacker, who goes by the name of "Hacker Croll", claimed that he had hacked into the internal system of Twitter last week, giving him access to millions of accounts including high profile users such as US President Barack Obama, Lily Allen and Ashton Kutcher.

He said that he gained access to the controls by hacking into the account of Twitter's director of product management. The hacker even uploaded a string of screenshots showing his access to the internal website settings.

One such shot displayed private details of the President's account, including the IP address of the last person to use it, according to a report in News.com.au.

This is understood to be the first time anyone has managed to hack into Twitter's internal administration system, though there were reports of celebrity accounts being hacked earlier too.

In January another hacker had gained access to Twitter and posted fake updates to a number of high-profile accounts includingBritney Spears and Obama.

Confirming that "unauthorized access" was gained by an outsider, Twitter founder Biz Stone said only 10 individual accounts were viewed during this unlawful access period.

"Our initial security reviews and investigations indicate that no account information was altered or removed in any way. However, we discovered that 10 individual accounts were viewed during this unauthorized access," Stone said.

It covers some security aspects/weakness present in protocol’s standards, authentication methods and caching mechanisms; its main purpose is the simplified recovery of passwords and credentials from various sources, however it also ships some "non standard" utilities for Microsoft Windows users.

Cain & Abel has been developed in the hope that it will be useful for network administrators, teachers, security consultants/professionals, forensic staff, security software vendors, professional penetration tester and everyone else that plans to use it for ethical reasons. The author will not help or support any illegal activity done with this program. Be warned that there is the possibility that you will cause damages and/or loss of data using this software and that in no events shall the author be liable for such damages or loss of data. Please carefully read the License Agreement included in the program before using it.

The latest version is faster and contains a lot of new features like APR (Arp Poison Routing) which enables sniffing on switched LANs and Man-in-the-Middle attacks. The sniffer in this version can also analyze encrypted protocols such as SSH-1 and HTTPS, and contains filters to capture credentials from a wide range of authentication mechanisms. The new version also ships routing protocols authentication monitors and routes extractors, dictionary and brute-force crackers for all common hashing algorithms and for several specific authentications, password/hash calculators, cryptanalysis attacks, password decoders and some not so common utilities related to network and system security.

All-In-One Ultra Hacker (2008)

Three Most used Backdoor Programs

There is a general misconception about security today. Most people would love to believe that their firewalls are completely capable to protect them from anything indecent. The sad part, they could not be more wrong. Hungry Hacker aim to prove it with three separate programs that can compromise the security of computers. You have the opportunity to say “What’s a backdoor?” Yes, these programs were created in 1990, but still pose a real threat today. It is the first two that are still being developed.

Using these programs any noob can remotely access your computer without any Authentication and do whatever he wants. I will tell you some of the features rest of them you need to try it and find out. These Programs :

• Work as a key logger.
• Send any Information from Victim’s PC to the Hacker’s PC.
• Run any program on the Victims PC.
• Display any Violating Image on victim’s Screen.
• Open the CD Drive of the Victim’s PC.
• Open any Web page on the Victims Screen.
• Disable any Specific Key or whole Keyboard.
• Shutdown Victim’s PC.
• Start a Song on the Victim’s PC.etc.etc…………..

Back Orifice / Back Orifice 2000

Back Orifice is one of the most common backdoor programs, and one of the most deadly. The name may seem like a joke, but sure, the threat is real. Back Orifice was established in Cult of the Dead Cow group. Back Orifice is an Open Source Program. The main Threat of this software is that by making some changes in the code anybody can make it undetectable to the Anti virus Program running on the Victim’s computer. Apart from the strange title, the program usually gets port 31337, the reference to “Lit” phenomenon is popular among hackers.

Back Orifice uses a client-server model, while the server and client is the victim attacker. What makes Back Orifice so dangerous that it can install and operate silently. There is not required interaction with the user in, meaning you could its on your computer right now, and do not know.

Companies such as Symantec have taken steps to protect computers against programs that they consider dangerous. But even more attacks using Back Orifice 2000. This is due partly to the fact that it is still evolving, as open source. As stated in the documentation the goal is ultimately the presence of the Back Orifice 2000 unknown even to those who installed it.

Back Orifice 2000, developed for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Where can I download Back orifice 2000?

Back Orifice 2000 can be downloaded at the following address: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bo2k/

I infected! How do I remove it?

Removing Back Orifice 2000 may require that you change the registry settings. To remove it at 7 simple steps, refer to the diagram below.

How do I delete Back orifice 2000

1. Click Start> Run, and type “Regedit”(without the quotes)
2. Follow the path below: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices “
3. Now looking in the right box: “The umgr32 = ‘c: \ windows \ system \ umgr32.exe”
4. Right-click on this entry and click Remove. Now restart your computer.
5. After restarting only open Windows Explorer. Make sure you can see all registered extensions. To do so, select “View Options and configure the appropriate settings.
6. Go to the WINDOWS \ SYSTEM directory, and find “umgr32.exe” file. Once you find it, delete it.
7. Exit Windows Explorer and reboot again.

NetBus / Netbus 2.0 Pro

NetBus was established around the same time that the Back Orifice was in the late 1990’s. NetBus was originally designed as a program prank friends and family, of course anything too malicious. However, the program was released in 1998, and is widely used as a backdoor to manage computer.

Like the Back Orifice, NetBus allows attackers to do virtually everything in the computer victim. It also works well under Windows 9x systems, as well as Windows XP. Unlike Back Orifice, the latest version of NetBus regarded shareware is not free. NetBus is also implementing less stealthy operations, as a direct result of criticism and complaints of abusive use.

Where can I buy and download NetBus?

NetBus can be purchased and downloaded at the following address: http://www.netbus.org/

Ok, I am infected. Now what?

Fortunately, the latest version of NetBus is a valid program. It can be removed just like any other program. Previous issuance NetBus is a bit more tricky, however. If you are not lucky enough attacked with the latest version, the withdrawal process and in the Back Orifice.

How do I remove NetBus?

1. Click Start> Run, and type “Regedit ‘(without the quotes)
2. Follow the path below: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices “
3. Now, in the right box, looking as follows: “[Name_of_Server].”Exe Of course, you have to find the actual name of this file EXE-. Usually This” Patch.exe ‘or’ SysEdit.exe “, but may vary.
4. Reboot and remove all traces of the actual program, which can be left. Additionally, you can set yourself NetBus, and then use its own function disposal.

SubSeven / Sub7

SubSeven or Sub7, has been established for the same purpose was to NetBus pranks. Sub7 actually has more support for pranks, and has more advanced users. Sub7 also widely used by the script kiddies, although that many firewalls and anti-virus software before initialization.

Since Sub7 not supported for several years, the threat is usually very low. Most security programs will not have any problem in ending Sub7 before it has a chance to be started. This shows that the importance to the modernization and security programs is critical, because the money was still there.

Nevertheless, it is widely used by those who have physical access to your firewall, or security programs. If access rights, the tool will work without restrictions.

Where can I buy and download Sub7?

Sub7 not supported more, and hence is not available for download on any legitimate websites. If you were to make a Google search, you would find links to download Sub7. However, this is not the official site, and should be considered dubious and dangerous.

Sounds harmless, How do I remove it?

1. End of the following processes through the curator: “editserver.exe, subseven.exe”
2. Delete the following files: “editserver.exe, subseven.exe, tutorial.txt.”

Why these programs is absolutely legitimate?

All the basis behind these programs is that they are designed to help people, not harm. While some like NetBus really were originally created for pranks, they switched routes to avoid legal problems.

These programs claim to be the legitimate remote desktop program, although they certainly easily used for malicious use. These programs really should be used to aid or customer support departments. Why all adolescents is to copy these programs goes beyond us, but leave the content of their networks, while computer is a good idea.

The advent of new technology has made these programs in some respects less effective. However, programs such as Back Orifice 2000, yet still evolving, so do not be surprised to learn that he works in the background, waiting for instructions. Since the best defense is a good offense, be sure to save a sharp eye on what is installed on the network computers. After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Facebook Hit by Second Phishing Scam in Two Days

The more popular something is, the more people want to use it as a way to scam people. An example would be the recent swine flu related spam attacks, and these are phishing scams that sends Facebook users to fake login sites (today fbstarter.com, yesterday fbaction.net).

While fbaction.net has been taken down, go to fbstarter.com and it com sure looks like a lot like some sort of Facebook login page, doesn't it (see attached pic)?

What's happening is people are getting "Facebook messages" supposedly from other users that basically just say "Look at this" and have the link that takes them to fbstarter.com. Once you enter your username / password there, you've basically delivered your login credentials to the scammer.

Now, fbstarter.com sure looks suspiciously like fbaction.net. Personally, if you're alert to the important aspects of watching out for phishing, such as:

• Don't use links delivered in emails or IM to login to any site
• If you do, make sure the site's URL looks like what you are expecting
• Email the site / organization / business in question if you are unsure

then you should be pretty safe.

Of course, while some (not me) store credit cards information in their Facebook account, most of the information for a credit card is redacted anyway (though I suppose a scammer could use your credit card to buy something on the site).

The main reason, I would think, that scammers would want your login info is because many people use the same login info everywhere. Definitely a bad idea, but something many people do.

If you've fallen for either of these phishing scams already, change your Facebook password immediately (if the scammers haven't already locked you out). And, if that's happened and it's the same password you use for your Amazon.com, eBay, or other types of accounts, you could be in big trouble.

Interested in learning about avoiding phishing scams? I wrote earlier about a free online game developed by Carnegie-Mellon that teaches how to avoid it.

Google Search Now Right in Gmail

What took so long, Google? On Thursday, Gmail got another Gmail Labs feature, Google Search right inside your inbox. It's described as follows:

Displays Google search results inside your mail window, letting you quickly find things and use them when you're writing an email.

To enable it, go to Settings, Labs, find Google Search and select the Enable radio button.

I know, I know, there's a Search the Web button above your inbox. But that opens a separate window. What if you don't want to have to switch back and forth between tabs / windows and mail?

Enable the Google Search feature, and you'll get a small edit box on the LHS of your inbox (as above).

Type a query into it, and rather than opening up another window or tab, it pops up a box in the same position as a chat window, but a little bigger. Click a link and it'll open up a tab or window so you can confirm the results.

Bleh, you might say. We're back to the new tab / window. Well, yes, you're right, and more on that later. But now comes the fun part. Go back to the Search Results window, click on the drop-down menu, and you'll get a contextual menu that varies depending on what you're currently doing in Gmail.

• If you're reading a message, you can start a reply to the message with the search result as the first thing in your reply.
• If you're writing a message, you can paste the result, or just the URL into your message.
• If you're chatting with someone, you can send the result via chat.
• You can also always compose a new message to send the search result.

Oh, and it keeps a history of your searches (clearable) as well.

Yes, it might be better if clicking a link, rather than opening up a new tab / window, would instead open another pop-up, but maybe that's for the future.

If you're like me, the sidebar to the left of your inbox might be getting crowded. Google suggests using another Labs feature, Navbar Drag and Drop to move the Google Search widget whereever you want it.

Microsoft’s WorldWide Telescope: Virtual telescope opens night sky

Where science meets imagination !

Microsoft’s WorldWide Telescope Released. May 12th, 2008

Any Star Wars , Star Trek fan (like me) knows that space travel is not always easy, but Microsoft wants to make traveling the ‘final frontier’ as simple as turning on your computer.

Joining Google Sky and Stellarium is Microsoft’s entrant to the stars, Worldwide Telescope. I’ve been playing around with it for about an hour and it’s pretty cool. It effectively turns every computer that downloads it into a mini-planetarium capable of displaying high resolution images of millions of stars, planets and other celestial.

First of all I was happy to see that Microsoft has came out of “ ~ ta’s “ naming ( e.g. Vista, Lista, Volta … that “ta” was getting on my nerves ), “Worldwide Telescope” is a bit old skool name, inspired from you know what … I can live with this one.

OK, now Check it out if you’re an outer space dork — it includes a bunch of guided tours from astronomers. I liked the “many worlds” tour, which started with Mount St. Helen’s ranges and then flew off to the rest of the planets in our solar system for some hot world-on-world action. A tour called “Dust and Us” walks through the dark regions in galaxies where stars and planets form.

The software allows users to develop their own guided tours of the universe to share with others or take part a guided tour created by astronomy experts.

The WorldWide Telescope stitches together 12 terabytes - the data of pictures from sources including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

The experience is similar to playing a video game, allowing users to pan, zoom in and out of galaxies that are thousands of light years away. It allows seamless viewing of far, far away star systems and rarely-seen space dust in breathtaking clarity.

I can use WorldWide Telescope for 4 different “looks” - Panorama, Sky, Earth, or Planets. Users can see the X-ray view of the sky, zoom into bright radiation clouds, and then cross-fade into the visible light view and discover the cloud remnants of a supernova explosion from a thousand years ago.

Other data sets include the ongoing Sloan Digital Sky Survey, also known as the Cosmic Genome Project, which aims to capture detailed optical images of more than a quarter of the night sky.
By default, WorldWide Telescope is configured to view the night sky as if you were standing at Microsoft Building 99 in Redmond. But you can change your Observing Location very easily via View options.

Experience WWT:

To use the new system, users need to download WorldWide Telescope from the web ( it’s free ). It only runs on Windows operating systems ( M$ strikes back ! … as usual )
The System Requirements does include 2GB of RAM , 3D accelerated card with 128 megabytes (MB) RAM; discrete graphics card with dedicated 256-MB VRAM, but i’m using it on my PC : Windows Vista, intel CTD 2.2 G Hz, 1 GB RAM, no graphics card, and it just works fine.

A test version is available for download at: http://www.worldwidetelescope.org

P.S. - it’s interesting how the site is made using Adobe Flash and not Silverlight. … yehh !!

Other options :

Google Sky, an add-on to Google Earth has been there for some time, but I found WorldWide Telescope’s GUI, and overall experience better than Google sky.

Stellarium is a free open source tool that gives people a chance to access more than 210 million stars, in addition to planets and moons. The project was launched in 2001 and is used in many planetariums.
Like WorldWide Telescope the software allows users to record and play their own tours of the Universe. Stellarium is really good, and Microsoft must continue taking WorldWide Telescope to next levels to stay ahead.

Stellarium is just wonderful. Best of all is that it is not quite the memory and system resource hog that Starry Night Basic and Pro is ( it is one more option ). In fact, I have found that the latest versions of Starry Night often will not run on computers that are a few years old. It gives good view of what the sky would look like from pretty much anywhere on Earth at any time over a wide range of dates. If you want to know what stars and constellations are which, if you are an amateur planning an observing session, or you have any other need for a basic planetarium software, then this seems good.

Future From My View:

- WorldWide Telescope is not bad, but it’s not great either. It would be better as an online app where people can share access to their telescopes. People with better telescopes with the servo system and the drivers and the right CCD. They could sell time on their equipment via the Internet or at least share it with some new Microsoft or Google services.. A virtual space marketplace. I would pay for something like that and so would a lot of people.

- I see social network interaction potential in developing our own guided tours and sharing them. We can have forums facility bundled where people interested in common space topics can interact and share information through custom tours and traditional chat.

- This software will be like having an important educational mission.

- Microsoft will never learn it…
Under download for Mac: ‘Minimum Windows XP SP2 , Vista recommended …with BootCamp”
Guys a Mac running Windows IS NOT A MAC, it’s like a beautiful woman wearing a sack and led boots….
Anyhow, they don’t seem to get it that clinging to their old lady OS doesn’t fly anymore.

- In the hollywood hills we only use telescopes to see into our neighbors houses. let me know when someone comes out with that one.

Find the Sender's Local Time in Gmail

Gmail Labs added a very useful feature for those who receive messages from all over the world. "Sender Time Zone" shows a green phone icon if it's appropriate to call the sender and a red phone icon if it's not a good time for calling (the icon is actually an Unicode character). Click on "show details" and you'll also see the local time of the sender.

"Message headers always include the time sent and often include time zone info too. We use that information to show you these icons. If the time zone isn't included for a given message, this Labs feature won't display anything," explains Gmail's blog. Google saves your timezone in your Google Account and it can be changed from this page.
