Hey Buddies,


In my previous post Protection Against Viruses from USB in 3 steps i have taken consideration on how to protect a pc and how to delete USB's viruses.


In this post i am gonna tell to How to protect both PC and USB from Viruses. You must read my last post Protection Against Viruses from USB in 3 steps before going ahead.


Well, Do you know On what moments viruses transfer from USB 2 PC and PC 2 USB????


At the time when we Open USB Drive for Copying a File from USB to PC
During Copying a File from PC to USB


So if we do something to stop entering Viruses on these two moments then you can protect both PC and USB from Viruses.


Now the Question arises How we can do this......
Answer:


1. At the time when we Open USB Drive for Copying a File from USB to PC


On this time if we disable the Writing Property of USB drive then viruses can't enter in the USB.



Now Steps to disable the Writing Property of USB drive:
i. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
ii. Go to HKLM > System > current control set > control
iii. Right click on Control folder> new> key and give name 'StorageDevicePolicies'
iv. Now In the right side window right click > new > Dwrd value and give it a value '1'
v. Now close registry, restart PC.




2. During Copying a File from PC to USB
Always use 'send to' (right click on file that has to copy> send to > USB Drive) except copind and pasting file.
During Copying a File from PC to USB Remember to enable the Writing Property of USB drive by changing value 0 in step 4.


Direct shortcut to Enable and disable the Writing Property of USB drive
EnableUSBWrite
DisableUSBWrite




Note: Registry Modification will be in effect only after Reboot PC.


Be safe

Hi Friends,

To keep secure our web accounts we always do talk about Putting Strong Passwords, But how you would know that your password is strong or not??

What are Strong Passwords
Normally we say strong password to those passwords which satisfy the following points:-

*Contains Letters(upper and lower case both), Numbers and Symbols.

*Also your password should not be a common Password. like 123456, password, iloveyou etc

*According to Microsoft an ideal strong password must contain at least 14 characters. But there are many words in dictionary also which contains no. of letters greater than 14. you should not keep those words as ur password.

But Question Arises:-
What is the need of a strong password, How a weak password can be hacked easily??

Though there are many ways to hack passwords but hacking 'weak' passwords is  done usually by Brute Force Method. In hacking Terms this Method is called Dictionary Attack. In Dictionary Attack using Brute Force Algorithm, A software checks all the existing words of dictionary to find the correct password.


Check how much time your password will take to hack using Brute Force
On web i found a site, where it check the that how secure is  your password. It do some simple mathematical calculations to find out time to generate any particular password using brute force.
If you have a strong password, then the time will be probably in Years but for week password it will be only some seconds, hours or some days!!!

So check your password now :)

Many times while browsing something, we reach on some forums on which we can get useful stuff related to the topic on which we were searching.. But when we open the topic's page it block us by saying 'Register to view this page' or 'Only registered users can view this page'...
These forums restrict the unregistered users and only allow the registered users to view content of forum. But 'Google bot' can  visit these forums anytime without registration.

So in this trick we will make ours browser's agent into google bot agent, and can access all forums without registration :)

Now the question arises 'How to switch our browser's user agent into google bot agent?'
For answer follow the steps :

1. First of all download and install Firefox addon 'User Agent Switcher'.

2. Now restart your browser.

3. Now go to Tools > Default User agent > User agent switcher > Options....... as shown in screenshot.

4. Now in 'User agent switcher option' window...click on 'new'> 'new user agent' to add google bot's agent.

5. Now add the following lines as shown in diagram and click on 'OK'
*crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com
*Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)


6. Now again go to Tools > Default User agent > and select crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com.

7. Now you can browse any forum without registering there :)
