THIS CONTEXT IS CONTRIBUTED TO ME BY MY FRND +RAJ+
SO HAVE A LITTLE LOOK ON RAJ'S CONTEXT:- A browser is an application that provides a way to look at and interact with all the information on the World Wide Web. Technically, a web browser uses HTTP to make requests of web servers throughout the Internet on behalf of the browser user. In other words, a web browser is a software application that allows one to view pages on the World Wide web.
There are different web browsers that are available and in use today and they all come with a variety of features. Some of the available web browsers include Amaya, AOL Explorer, Arachne, Arlington Kiosk, Avant, Camino, Dillo, Elinks, Epiphany, Flock, Galeon, iCab, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer for Mac, K-Meleon, KioWare, Konqueror, Links, Lynx, Maxthon, Mosaic, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, OmniWeb, SeaMonkey, Safari, Opera and Off By One. Most of these web browsers are free, but there are five of them that do have a purchase price.Web browsers also come with some features. Some common features that are included with web browsers are spell checkers, search engine toolbars, download managing, password managing, bookmark managing, as well as form managing. Accessibility features that may be included with many web browsers include page zooming, ad filtering, pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, incremental finding, HTML access keys, voice controls, mouse gestures, spatial navigation, text to speech, and caret navigation.With so many web browsers being available, there are a number of different technologies that are supported. Some of them are frames, Java, XSLT, XForms, RSS, Atom, SVG, WML, VoiceXML, MathML, and XHTML. Also, with many web browsers, support for different languages is possible, and some of the different languages that are supported by web browsers include English, Slovak, Arabic, German, Dutch, Turkish, Swedish, Chinese, French, Spanish, Thai, Hebrew, Italian, Greek, Russian, Polish, Welsh, as well as hundreds more.A web browser is a powerful tool, and isn’t just used for personal computers anymore; there are web browsers that can be used on mobile phones, handheld game systems, as well as pocket PC’s.Web browsers can also be personalized to an individuals needs by utilizing web browser accessories that are not included with the initial browser software. These applications are referred to as “plug insâ€, and a few of the more popular ones are Beatnik, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Shockwave, VivoActive Player, as well as Adobe Acrobat Reader.Beatnik is utilized to receive high-quality sound and audio from websites. QuickTime, which is a product of Apple, Inc., works as a delivery system for such things as 3D animation, audio, movies, MIDI soundtracks, and virtual reality. RealPlayer delivers on demand audio and video without the hassle of waiting for downloads to complete. Shockwave allows multimedia files to be viewed directly in a web browser. VivoActive allows viewing of on demand audio and video from sites that offer VivoActive content, and Adobe Acrobat Reader allows access to PDF files on the World Wide Web.Knowing all of the web browsers and their specific uses, it will become easy to understand how choosing the right web browser can enhance the Internet experience.

1.)How a cracker works.-A cracker works by repeatingly sending passwords to a Yahoo! login server or a list of servers-Crackers require password lists (dictionay files). These are lists of words that the cracker will attempt to use as the passwords-All a cracker does, is try different passwords,until the correct password to the username is entered. (Crackers work on the possibility that one of the passwords you load in the password list is the correct password for the usernames they are trying to crack.)2.) Basics you need to know.-Cracker's use either servers or proxies in cracking.-A Crackers are basically a program that simplfies and speeds up exactly what you do when you login to a Yahoo site.-There are three types of crackers. Server crackers , Proxy crackers and Forwards crackers.-Server crackers typically get patched (quit working) very quickly because Yahoo moniters it's servers and they pick up any increased bandwidth (alot of extra login attempts than normal). When they see these extra logins attempts they run some tests and find out what login method is being tried. They then goto work and patch the login method, which basically means that it will ban you after 50 - 100 login tries on a single IP.-Proxy crackers are much harder for Yahoo to patch. You can use patched login servers on them because by using a proxy you appear to not be just one IP trying to log in, but many hundreds of IPs. Yahoo will ban each proxy, not your main IP. The ban is only a temporary ban as well, usually for 4 - 6 hours. And once you notice your cracker slowing down (proxies getting banned) simply scan and load some new proxies into the cracker and you are back in buisness.-Forwards crackers can be eigther Server or Proxy crackers. Most crackers run Backwards. This means that the cracker goes through the list of names as quickly as possible using the first password in the list, then goes to the next password and starts at the top of the names list again. This ensures that the names you are trying to crack do not get "locked" by Yahoo for too many login attempts one right after the other. Im sure we've all had names locked before and had to type in the "random security code" below the password to log into the name. With a Forwards cracker, the cracker stays on the first name in the list until all the passwords have been tried on it, then moves to the next name. In order for a cracker to be considered a Forwards cracker, it must not lock names for too many login attempts. So basically with a working Forwards cracker, you can enter one name in the cracker and thousands of passwords to try and crack only that one name. Forwards crackers are the rarest type of crackers because the login methods they use are very hard to find and Yahoo tries very hard to patch these methods up quickly. I have had quite a few Forwards crackers before, but as of right now, I dont know of a single working one. I love using these types of crackers when I get ahold of one.-Alerts: when a name has been cracked, the cracker has away of alerting you, more common you will get sound alert. In other cases an Alert Window will pop up.-Password Options: Password options can change the passwords you are using to crack with to ALL CAPS , First Letter Caps" , Sim (using the name trying to be cracked as the pass), etc. etc.-Sockets - A cracker's speed is defined by it's number of sockets. From a begginer's stand point, you might think that setting your cracker for it's max number of sockets will allow you to crack screen names faster. This is only true if you have a very faster ISP (Internet Service Provider) like cable or DSL. If you are on dial-up I would recommend only using 5 - 10 sockets. If you are on DSL I wouldnt use more than 50. If you are on cable you can use as many as the cracker will allow you to use. Also if you are using a Proxy cracker, keep in mind that you can only crack as fast as the proxies will allow you too. Some proxies are fast and some are slow.-Timeout: This is a feature for proxy crackers which tells the cracker how long it should wait on each proxy to attempt to log in the name. If you set the Timeout low, the cracker will skip all the slow proxies in your proxy list and only use the faster proxies. This will make it faster but you also wont find as many proxies that work. If you set the Timeout higher, the cracker will wait a second or two longer on each proxy to allow it to try and log in the name. I would recomend using a high timeout unless you have like 30,000 proxies to crack with.-Auto save is when you crack a name. it out saves it immediately to a txt or log file. This is a good feature in case you get disconnected or your PC gets turned off by accident or unplugged.-In cracking, people that crack names look for usernames that Yahoo no longer allows them to make, these discontinued names are called illegals (a.k.a Rares).-You will also here about a group of cracked names called originals, example of this would be "woody, farmer, warrior , potent , Jason , Mark , Jen etc... (you get the picture hence "original")3.) Tools you need for cracking.-You need a cracker of course, I recommend crackers that use proxies.-To find Proxies, you need two kinds of tools, one to find proxies (scanner or leecher), and a Proxy Phecker to check if those proxies are valid. Some crackers will record only the good proxies when it is cracking so this will eliminate the need for a Proxy Checker (x-proxy is an example of a cracker that has this feature).(Here are some proxy sites you can use to get some proxies)Rob's Daily Updated Proxy Listhttp://www.multiproxy.org/txt_anon/proxy.txthttp://www.socklabs.com/proxylist.txthttp://www.cybers yndrome.net/pld_tmp.htmlhttp://www.digitalcybersoft.com/Prox...oxy-list.shtm lhttp://phpfi.com/43027-You need names lists (a list of scanned names you want to try and crack), and password lists and a Proxy list before you start up the cracker.-Now you need some names to crack. Compile this either by using a name generator and scanner, or you can find a room grabber and use it. This is a program that sends a bot into a list of rooms and grabs the usernames from the room....these are then saved as another .txt file. However you decide to do it, you should compile a list of at least 500 names to start4.) How to find out if your cracker works...-To make sure it still works, load up proxies and add some bot names and passwords to the name and passwords list, if it cracks the names, then it works!Thats all for now. I hope this has helped some of you to understand how a cracker works and what tools you will need to be a successfull cracker. Keep in mind, cracking is alot like fishing. Dont expect to crack a ton of name when you first start. Sometimes you will crack for days without cracking a single name, sometimes even weeks. It really depends on how good your passwords are that you are using. It's alot of luck and cracking isnt for everyone. It takes alot of patience and determination to do it. If you are willing to tough it out then you can count on cracking some names in

"DID YOU KNOW? If a hacker successfully penetrates your telephonesystem's security, you could be billed for OVER $10,000 PER HOUR forFRAUDULENT CALLS?"The above quote was taken from an AT&T sales letter hawking securitysystems to businesses. It was reprinted in the quarterly publication2600, a sort of Popular Mechanics for, um, midnight technicians.These days, most people think of hackers as anti-social types whobreak into business phone lines, ATM machines, cable, and governmentcomputers. Hackers are the new hi-tech outlaws.Though the idea of hacker as outlaw has some truth, much of it iscertainly hyperbole ($10,000 an hour?). The overuse and misuse of theword hacker has been chafing against me of late. I've alwaysunderstood a more benign definition.Time for some schooling. According to Steven Levy's seminal 1984 bookHackers, the idea of a "hack" came from the M.I.T.'s Tech ModelRailroad Club. In the late 1950s, the members of the club would usethe term to denote any project that was undertaken just for the "wildpleasure taken in mere involvement." Those who took pride in buildingbetter connections between relays were called hackers.Wireheads that they were, it's no surprise that when a new mainframecomputer, the TX-O arrived on campus, many from TMRC were instantlydrawn to it.To most people then, computers were bulky unfriendly machines thattook up entire rooms and crunched numbers for insurance companies orscientists. They had no relation to the public at large.To these hackers though, these computers presented a whole new realmof possibilities. In the ensuring decade, they prodded the TX-O, and,later, the PDP-6 to play chess, hum Bach, emulate ping pong, act as aadding machine, and play space war games.All these applications were called hacks. Such work was seen asfrivolous. These programs were written for no other reason than to besimply to have them be admired and improved upon by other programmers.In hindsight, its obvious these hackers were radically rethinking theway computers could be used.But hacking provided an addictive high. As Levy writes,When you programmed a computer you had to be aware of where all thethousands of bits of information were going from one instruction tothe next, and be able to predict--and exploit-- the effect of all thatmovement. When you had all that information glued to your cerebralbeing, it was almost as if your own mind had merged into theenvironment of the computer. Sometimes it took hours to build up tothe point where your thoughts could contain that total picture, andwhen you did get to that point, it was such a shame to waste it thatyou tried to sustain it by marathon bursts.To better suit such cerebral thunder runs, these misplaced geniuseswould slip into 32-hour days fueled by cokes and lemon jelly wedges.For a dedicated few, outside norms were considered irrelevant -fashion, college degrees, even personal hygiene. One particularlynotorious hacker, Richard Greenblatt would get so caught up inprojects that he'd neglect to bathe. As a result, whenever Greenblattwould rub his hands together over the keyboard, little chunks of dirtfell on the keys, called "blatties" by other annoyed users.Eventually a philosophy emerged from M.I.T. known as the Hacker Ethic.The one and all-holy central tenet was this: information should befree. Hackers believed in free information the way hippies believed infree love.And oddly enough, at the time, it made sense. The way informationworks is strange. Keep it for yourself, and no one else will expoundupon it, use it, or employ it in their own designs. If it's obscure,it's worthless.But if you leave information for others to tinker with, say a programyou wrote, it will take hold, become stronger, better, and, at leastin some small way, add to the collective knowledge of humankind.This is why for years so much software was placed in the publicdomain. If anyone saw a way to improve, say Xmodem, a program fordownloading, they were free to do so. Copyrighting a program wasconsidered heresy. In those early years at M.I.T., programs were leftaround for others to tinker with, the creators admitting someone couldeasily improve upon their design.The idea made perfect sense in the collegial atmosphere of M.I.T..Outside the campus, however, this ethic has since caused headaches forcompanies, such as Bell Atlantic, that don't particularly appreciatepeople taking a curiosity in how their systems work, having themimproved upon, or having it hacked for free phone calls.The hubbub you hear these days is sound of the Hacker Ethic rubbingagainst corporate propriety.As maligned as the word means, its easy to forget how valuable hackingis. It has made the Internet largely what is today: People doing stuffwith no promise of financial gain, but simply because it would beinteresting to do it. The word has been tagged with an unfair rap. Ijust hope curiosity and inventiveness won't be taken out with it.

Tip One
Hackers cover their tracks, Experienced hackers cover them morethoroughly, but amateur hackers sometimes leave things behind, Don'texpect them to leave any really big evidence behind, expect more oflittle things here and there you might find surprising, For example,if you are writing a term paper and a black hat hacker accidentlysaved it when he took a paragraph out, that's suspicious, Where didthat paragraph go ? Well, for one thing, now you know he was in thatarea, Check the folders surrounding the file you might find somethingTip TwoDecipher between the type of hackers that are attacking you,Experienced hackers will have a more in depth look around when theypenetrate your system, They won't touch much because they know thatthey won't add too much to their knowledge, But if you know a hacker'sbeen in, and some files are messed with, and you have a log of someoneguessing passwords to a file or something of that sort, its probablysome newbie who's just starting out, These are the easiest hackers tocatch, They usually get so caught up in thoughts like "Iam in" thatthey forget the basics, such as work behind a proxyTip ThreeDon't go crazy if you lose data, Chances are, if it was thatimportant, you would have backed it up anyway, Most hackers nowadayswish they were back in 1989 when they could use a Black Box and havinga Rainbow Book actually meant something, Most hackers aren't blackhat, they are white hat, and some even grey hat, But in the end, mosthackers that are in systems aren't satisfied by looking around, Frompast experiences, I have concluded that many hackers like to rememberwhere have they been, So what do they do ? They either press deletehere and there, or copy some files on to their systems, Stupid hackers(yes, there are plenty of stupid hackers) send files to e-mailaddresses Some free e-mail companies will give you the IP of a certaine-mail address's user if you can prove that user has been notoriouslyhacking you. But most of the time, by the time you get the e-mail addsit's been unused for weeks if not months or years, and services likehotmail have already deleted itTip FourSave information, Any information that you get from a log file (proxyserver IP, things like "14P", e-mail addresses that things were sentto, etc) should be saved to a floppy disk (they are not floppyanymore, I wish I could get out of the habit of calling them that) incase there's a next time, If you get another attack, from the sameproxy, or with similar e-mail addresses (e.g: one says Blackjack123@something.whatever and the other saysBlack_jack_45@something.znn.com) you can make an assumption that thesehackers are the same people, In that case, it would probably be worththe effort to resolve the IP using the proxy and do a trace routePressing charges is recommended if this is a repeat offenderTip FiveDon't be stupid, If you've been hacked, take security to the nextlevel, Hackers do talk about people they have hacked and they do postIPs and e-mail addresses, Proof ? Take a look at Defcon Conventions,I've never gone to one, but I have seen the photos, The "Wall ofShame" type of boards I've seen have IPs and e-mail addresses writtenall over them in fat red, dry-erase ink, Don't be the one to gosearching the Defcon web site and find your e-mail address posted onthe Wall of Shame boardTip SixDon't rely on luck, Chances are, sometime or another, you're going tobe targeted for an attack, Here you can rely on luck, Maybe they'llforget ? Maybe they don't know how to do it ? If you think this way, asurprise is going to hit your face very hard, Another way you couldstupidly rely on luck is by saying this: It's probably just a whitehat, On the contrary, my friend, it's probably just a black hat, Ablack hat with knowledge stored in his head, ready to be used as anax, It's your data, You take the chance
