To Block Websites

          Block websites without any software

>>>Steps

1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

2] Find the file named "HOSTS"

3] Open it in notepad

4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.

5] Done!


example :

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com


www.orkut.com is now unaccessable


For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.


ie:

127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com

127.0.0.4 www.msn.com

127.0.0.5 www.google.com


This also works with banner sites, just find the host name of the server with the banners and do the same thing with that addy.

Hope this small tutorial could keep you going in simple way of blocking websites..

Tab Napping

                                    
                                           
 Disclaimer: This Tutorial only for Knowledge Purpose, HOC are not responsible for any kind of damage. 

Tab Napping is a new form of phishing that is hitting the internet now. With the conventional form of phishing, for example, you might receive an email that is supposedly from your bank, and it might ask you to login and update or confirm your account details, of course, there would be a link to your banks website in the email for you to click, which would take you to a page that looks identical to your real banks login page.

How does it works
Tab napping is more sophisticated than the phishing scams we’ve seen so far, and it no longer relies on persuading you to click on a dodgy link. Instead it targets internet users who open lots of tabs on their browser at the same time (for example, by pressing
CTRL + T).
 if you have multiple tabs open and you are reading the page on your current active tab, any of the other inactive browser tabs could be replaced with a fake web page that is set up to obtain your personal data, the web page will look exactly the same as the page you opened in the tab, you probably wont even even know it has been replaced with a fake page.
fraudsters can actually detect when a tab has been left inactive for a while, and spy on your browser history to find out which websites you regularly visit, and therefore which pages to fake.
This may surprise you, but phishers and fraudsters in general can actually detect when a tab has been left inactive for a period of time, which means they can spy on your browsing history, this tells them which websites and web pages you visit on a regularly basis, so they'll know which bank you use and which email account you use, whatever you view, they'll know about it, which means they'll know which fake pages to make to replace the real pages in your inactive tabs, you've now left yourself open to become a victim of tab napping.

How can you protect yourself against tab napping?
  
Here are five simple ways you can prevent yourself from falling victim:
 • Make sure you always check the URL in the browser address page is correct before you enter any login details. A fake tabbed page will have a different URL to the website you think you’re using.
• Always check the URL has a secure https:// address even if you don’t have tabs open on the browser.
• If the URL looks suspicious in any way, close the tab and reopen it by entering the correct URL again.
• Avoid leaving tabs open which require you to type in secure login details. Don't open any tabs while doing online banking - open new windows instead (CTRL + N).

Hide File In Image

HOw Can We Hide The File In Image.

1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. I will be using C:\New Folder

-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as xyz.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt

2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)

3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd

4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing
cd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder]

5. Type [copy /b xyz.jpg + secret.rar xyz.jpg] (remove the brackets)

Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.

In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take

a) Change the file extension from xyz.jpg to xyz.rar, then open and your file is there
b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there

Steganography

What is Steganography?

 Steganography is the art and science of hiding information by embedding messages within other, seemingly harmless images or other types of media. 

The word steganography is of Greek origin and means "concealed writing". The first recorded use of the term was in 1499 by Johannes Trithemius in his Steganographia, a treatise on cryptography and steganography disguised as a book on magic. Generally, messages will appear to be something else: images, articles, shopping lists, or some other covertext and, classically, the hidden message may be in invisible ink between th

e visible lines of a private letter.

It originated with the Greeks, and it means “covered writing”. It can be traced back for centuries, when messengers used to shave their heads, tattoo the message to their head, then wait until their hair grew back, travel to their destination, and finally shave their head again to reveal the message. Another technique that was used was etching a message in a wooden tablet, and then covering it with was. They also used invisible ink, null ciphers, and microdots to convey messages. Steganography has come a long way since those days. Now, steganography is the altering of bits in either an image, sound document, or even another document, to hide a message.

Steganography has become increasingly popular in the past years, due to the explosion of the internet and multi-media use in general. Most of the attention has been drawn now because of the malicious use of the technique. It has been used for terrorism, fraud, espionage, etc. It has become a threat not only to individuals and businesses, but to government agencies and homeland security, not just in the United States, but all across the world. This is why there is now a growing interest in steganalysis, which is the detection of embedded data. The problem is, there are so many methods to embed the information, it is hard to develop programs to distinguish between the different types. There are over 100 free steganography programs, such as Outguess, available on the internet, and it is reported that there have been over 1 million downloads of this software, which goes to show how popular steganography is becoming. It is not always used in a malevolent manner, some people just like to keep their private information secret, or use it as another way to encrypt important information, but the fact is that it can be used in a criminal way, and that is what the concern is about.

What are some steganography programs?

          Not only are there several programs that hide information, there are several different methods for doing so. There are three basic ways: injection, substitution, and generation. With injection, the idea is to find areas in the file that are not being used, like at the end of a song for example, and insert the data in that space. Substitution finds the least significant bits, and places the hidden document there. Generation creates an entirely new file, based around the information that you want hidden, for example, creating an image of a painting based on the bits that are in the file.

            There are also several different programs, with their own methods that all fall under one of the above mentioned categories. Outguess is one such program, it is a universal steganographic tool that allows the insertion of hidden information into the redundant bits of data sources. It determines the maximum amount of information that can be inserted into a jpeg without changing the statistical counts, making it difficult to find using statistical tests. There are also several others such as S-tools.

What is Steganalysis?

           Steganalysis is simply the detection of steganography by a third party. This is a relatively new field, since the new technology behind steganography is just becoming popular.  There are two main types of steganalysis: visual analysis and statistical (algorithmic) analysis. 
Visual analysis tries to reveal the presence of hidden information through inspection with the naked eye or with the assistance of a computer, which can separate the image into bit planes for further analysis.
Statistical analysis is more powerful and successful, because it reveals the smallest alterations in an image’s statistical behavior. There are several statistical tests which can be run on an image: average bytes, variations of the bytes, skew, kurtosis, average deviation and differential values. 

   
Technical Steganography
Technical steganography offers a broad variety of methods. It is nearly impossible to divide up all these methods. & Its uses scientific methods to hide a message, such as the use of invisible ink or microdots and other size-reduction methods.

Some methods of technical steganography are:

Invisible Ink
One of the methods with the longest tradition.

Microdots
A method that can be used to hide up to one page in a dot.

Computer-based Methods
Uses redundant information in texts, pictures, sounds, videos, ... 

Linguistic Steganography
Linguistic steganography hides the message in the carrier in some nonobvious ways and is further categorized as semagrams or open codes.

Open Codes
The openly readable text is in the case of open codes mostly well constructed. It can contain certain words or sentences, certain letters can be on certain places in the text or words can be hidden in vertical or reversed position.

The main methods are:
Masking
In a text there could be sentences or words starting with certain letters, which have another meaning. There can also be metaphors, etc. In so far all kinds of jargons are in fact masking.

Cues
A certain word appearing in the text transports the message. This message is very often used in wartime to broadcast information to resistance groups in the enemy's country.

Null-ciphers
The hidden text could be reconstructed by taking the first (second,...) letter of each word (or after the punctuation mark, etc.).
Hidden messages could also be found vertically, diagonally or in reversed order. It could also be necessary to re-write the open text in other form (e.g. with a certain number of letters per line).
 

#  Semagrams hide information by the use of symbols or signs. A visual semagram uses innocent-looking or everyday physical objects to convey a message, such as doodles or the positioning of items on a desk or Website. A text semagram hides a message by modifying the appearance of the carrier text, such as subtle changes in font size or type, adding extra spaces, or different flourishes in letters or handwritten text.
    
 As an increasing amount of data is stored on computers and transmitted over networks, it is not surprising that steganography has entered the digital age. On computers and networks, steganography applications allow for someone to hide any type of binary file in any other binary file, although image and audio files are today's most common carriers.

Steganography provides some very useful and commercially important functions in the digital world, most notably digital watermarking. In this application, an author can embed a hidden message in a file so that ownership of intellectual property can later be asserted and/or to ensure the integrity of the content. An artist, for example, could post original artwork on a Website. If someone else steals the file and claims the work as his or her own, the artist can later prove ownership because only he/she can recover the watermark . Although conceptually similar to steganography, digital watermarking usually has different technical goals. Generally only a small amount of repetitive information is inserted into the carrier, it is not necessary to hide the watermarking information, and it is useful for the watermark to be able to be removed while maintaining the integrity of the carrier.
