Most of the wireless routers today comes with some security feature such as security encryption (WEP/WPA), MAC address filtering, lowering transmission power, disabling DHCP & use static IP, and hiding of SSID to help keep your wireless network safe from intruders. Each wireless security mechanism helps to increase the difficulty of unauthorized users from hacking in to your wireless networks but surely does not prevent the determined ones. In this article we will be focusing on one of the option “Broadcast SSID” found in most wireless routers.
Basically when the broadcast SSID option is enabled, all wireless capable devices can see your router listed together with a bunch of other wireless networks. This option provides a convenience for you to easily connect to it by clicking on your SSID and entering the security key. However, this also allows the nearby hackers to find your network and also see the signal strength with the security type being used directly from Windows without even the need to run a network scanning tool.
Non broadcasting wireless networks are not totally invisible as well because they can be detected by any of the  tools mentioned below.

1. inSSIDer

inSSIDer is the most popular free and open source Wi-Fi scanning tool available today. It is easy to use and understand without all the confusing configuration. After installation, running inSSIDer will automatically select your wireless adapter to start scanning for available access points. Then the results will be shown in a sortable table in the program displaying information such as SSID, channel, security, RSSI, MAC Address, maximum rate, vendor and network type.

The hidden wireless network is shown in the first line with an empty SSID but the rest of the information about the network is displayed. inSSIDer works on Windows XP/Vista/7 (32-bit & 64-bit) and also on Android and Mac.

2. Winhotspot

Winhotspot is actually a stand alone application that allows you to easily create a hotspot to share your Internet connection using your wireless adapter. However it also comes with a scanner which can be accessed from the WiFi Stats tab and clicking the Refresh button shows all the available wireless networks including the hidden ones.

The wardriving feature is very basic that only shows the important information such as SSID, Auth, BSSID, Signal, Radio and Channel. This utility is only 154KB in size and works only in Windows 7 and 8.

3.CommView for WiFi

CommView for WiFi is a special edition of CommView designed for capturing and analyzing network packets on wireless 802.11 a/b/g networks. It gathers information from the wireless adapter and decodes the analyzed data. In addition, CommView lets you see the list of network connections and vital IP statistics and examine individual packets. Packets can be decrypted utilizing user-defined WEP keys and are decoded down to the lowest layer, with full analysis of the most widespread protocols. The captured packets can be saved to log files for future analysis. CommView provides several filter options, that allow to drop unnecessary packets and limit capture to essential information. Additional features include configurable alarms, pie chart statistics, import/export, packet search and full decoding of most protocols. CommView for WiFi requires you to replace your wireless network card driver - the monitoring computer will be in a passive mode and not be able to connect to the network, other than for packet monitoring. The program should be installed on a dedicated machine or secondary network card.   You can also hack wifi with the help of these tools.

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time but when you enable pipelining it will enable several at once which really speeds up page loading

2. change the entries as follows
set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
and set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" value around 30, this means the browesr will be able to make 30 requests at once

3. Lastly right click anywhere and select New--> integer , name it as "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to 0
-> This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information that it recieves.
--> Now you will be able to use Firefox 2-30 times faster now . Enjoy browsing :)

Some Troubleshooting:-

Google Chrome:

Chrome Passwords are stored in a SQLite file the sites name and sites username is in clear text but the password is seeded in a Triple DES algorithm. The file is called Web Data and is stored in the following location


XP – C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Vista – C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default


Trillian:

Note- I have just realised the new version of trillian the passwords made be stored/encrypted differently.

Trillian Passwords are stored in .ini files the first character of the password is encrypted with XOR with the key 243 then the password is converted into hex. The file is based on what the password is for so if it was icq it would be icq.ini (for new versions I think they are all stored in a file called accounts.ini or something similar if you open it up with notepad you will see all the data + the encrypted password). The files are stored in the following location:

XP (old version) – C:\Program Files\Trillian\users\

XP (new version) – C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Trillian\user\global – I am not sure on exact but it is somewhere there.

Vista (old version)- C:\Program Files\Trillian\users\

Vista (new version)- C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming\Trillian\user\gl obal



MSN /Windows Live Messenger:

MSN Messenger version 7.x: The passwords are stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\C reds\[AccountName]

Windows Live Messenger version 8.x/9.x: The passwords are stored in the Credentials file, with entry name begins with “WindowsLive:name=”. They a set of Win API functions (Credential API’s) to store its’ security data (Credentials). These functions store user information, such as names and passwords for the accounts (Windows Live ID credentials). Windows Live ID Credential records are controlled by the operating system for each user and for each session. They are attached to the “target name” and “type”. If you are familiar with SQL you can think of target name and type as the primary key. Table below lists most frequently used fields in Windows Live ID Credential records.



Paltalk:

Paltalk Passwords are using the same password encryption algorithm. Paltalk passwords are stored in the registry. To encrypt the new password Paltalk looks at the serial number of the disk C:\ and performs a mix with the Nickname. The resulting string is then mixed again with the password and some other constants. The final string is then encoded and written to the registry.

AIM, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger passwords that are stored by Paltalk are encoded by BASE64 algorithm.

The passwords are stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Paltalk\[Account Name]



Google Talk:

Google Talk passwords are encoded/decoded using Crypto API. Encrypted Gmail passwords are stored by Google Talk in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google
Talk\Accounts\[Account Name]



Firefox:

The passwords are stored in one of the following filenames: signons.txt, signons2.txt, and signons3.txt (depends on Firefox version)
These password files are located inside the profile folder of Firefox, in [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Profile Name]
Also, key3.db, located in the same folder, is used for encryption/decription of the passwords.



Yahoo Messenger 6.x:

The password is stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager
(”EOptions string” value)



Yahoo Messenger 7.5 or later:

The password is stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager – “ETS” value.
The value stored in “ETS” value cannot be recovered back to the original password.



AIM:

AIM uses Blowfish and base64 algorithms to encrypt the AIM passwords.
448-bit keyword is used to encrypt the password with Blowfish. The encrypted string is then encoded using base64. The passwords are stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AIM6\Passwords



Filezilla:

Passwords are stored in a .xml file located in Filezilla on appdata their is sources for this



Internet Explorer 4.00 – 6.00:

The passwords are stored in a secret location in the Registry known as the “Protected Storage”.
The base key of the Protected Storage is located under the following key:
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider”.

You can browse the above key in the Registry Editor (RegEdit), but you won’t be able to watch the passwords, because they are encrypted.
Also, this key cannot easily moved from one computer to another, like you do with regular Registry keys.



Internet Explorer 7.00 – 8.00:

The new versions of Internet Explorer stores the passwords in 2 different locations.
AutoComplete passwords are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2.

HTTP Authentication passwords are stored in the Credentials file under Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials , together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords.



Opera:

The passwords are stored in wand.dat filename, located under [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile



Outlook Express (All Versions):

The POP3/SMTP/IMAP passwords Outlook Express are also stored in the Protected Storage, like the passwords of old versions of Internet Explorer.



Outlook 98/2000:

Old versions of Outlook stored the POP3/SMTP/IMAP passwords in the Protected Storage, like the passwords of old versions of Internet Explorer.



Outlook 2002-2008:

All new versions of Outlook store the passwords in the same Registry key of the account settings.

The accounts are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\[ProfileName]\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\[Account Index]

If you use Outlook to connect an account on Exchange server, the password is stored in the Credentials file, together with login passwords of LAN computers.



ThunderBird:

The password file is located under [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\[Profile Name]
You should search a filename with .s extension.



Digsby:

The main password of Digsby is stored in [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Digsby\digsby.dat
All other passwords are stored in Digsby servers.

 

Hide multiple files into a single .jpg file

 

 What I am going to tell about hiding multiple files into a single .jpg file, tis process is known as Binding, which most of us get confused with Steganography.

I  am going to explain how to bind files to a single image file.
                                                                                                                                    Steps involved:

1. Compress the files as a single rar file and name give an appropriate name (hide.rar in my case)
2. Copy the Image file (Image.jpg) and the rar file to the same folder
3. In the command prompt, use the following command: Copy /b Image.jpg + hide.rar HiddenImg.jpg
4. Now if you double click on the HiddenImg.jpg you would see the image as of the Image.jpg
5. Now open in WinRar and you would find all the files under the Hide.rar

I have two documents file and an Image file.
This technique is also used by hackers to attack a remote computer.
