Email Forging

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Most of the email forging tutorials on internet will teach us how to send fake mails connecting to SMTP server of ISP or any other domain.But this is not possible since these hacks will no longer work today because SMTP of remote server will reject any attempts for unauthorised access.So we have to run our own SMTP server on our computer.SMTP server is a simple software program which can be installed on your computer in few seconds.

How To Send Fake Emails
This is the SMTP server i am using in my tutorial.Once you download and install the server on your comp then you are all set to send fake emails successfully.This works 100%,so trust me & continue.

PART A: CONFIGURING SMTP SERVER

Once you have installed the QK SMTP server on your comp you must perform the following configuration.

1. Click on “Settings” button on the main screen,the Settings window pops up

2. On Settings window click on “Basic Parameter” tab

3. Set binding IP to “127.0.0.1″

4. Set port to “25″

PART B: FORGING EMAIL(SENDING FAKE MAIL)

1. Click on SMTP server icon on your desktop to start your SMTP server to run(The icon is shown on the notification area of the taskbar if it is running).If it is already running then this step can be ignored

2. Goto command prompt(Start-Accessories-Command prompt)

3. Type exactly as follows

C:\>telnet 127.0.0.1 25

Here 127.0.0.1 is the default IP of every computer.25 is the port number.SO you are connecting to the SMTP server running on your own computer.

NOTE:The IP 127.0.0.1 should not be substituted by any other IP.

Heres the snapshot of what you see after step 3.Click on it to enlarge

4. After typing the telnet command in the command prompt you get entry to the server which displays the following message.The response of a OK SMTP server is given below.Message within yellow color is only explanation.

Windows Password Loophole

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

a. ok now, what you need to do is to run compmgmt.msc

b. and click on local users and groups.

c. once you’ve gotten here you need to open up the ‘users’ folder.

at this point i am walking along with you and notice that there are several
major security holes dealing specifically with the password:
1. double clicking on the any user name allows you a list that looks
something like this:
“user name”

full name: ———————–
|__________________|

description: ———————–
|__________________|

|_| user must change password at next logon


|_| user cannot change password


|/| password never expires


|_| account is disabled


|_| account is locked out

“ok” “cancel” “apply”

ok if you can get past my cheesy drawing, i must ask, did you notice that
the “password never expires” box is checked? if you did, then you may have
realized that this means that you can also uncheck it!

2. if ure paying attention, you’ll see that the ‘user must change password
at next logon’ box is unchecked. if you put a check in this box of course,
when you shut down the system will prompt for a new password!

3. going back to step c.,
right click on any account and notice the dialoge that appears:
set password…
all tasks
delete
rename
properties
help

i think you can handle it from here

ps. i wonder if you can access this data if this stuff is locked to the user
by the admin by going in through the command prompt. i doubt it but if neone
finds a way let me know.
