Types of Proxies :

1. Anonymous :  Any proxy which does not spill information that could identify the real IP of the user.

2. SSL (HTTPS)  : These proxies support SSL and with it are capable of logging into most sites. While connected to a host through SSL the proxy is always considered to be anonymous.

3. Transparent :  Any proxy which through any number of factors spills the users IP to the target webserver.

4. Filtered : These proxies are filtered to remove Gateway duplicates .

Hacking and Hackers

Hello,

Hacking is the organised or unorganised access of another computer in a network. The network can be LAN/WAN/MAN.According to my knowledge I think that Russians are the first hackers.But now U.S.A and other countries stand best for it. Hackers are the people who hack a system in network.

There are three types of hackers.They are :-
1) White-Hat Hackers
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
This are the hackers who hack a network to check the security holes. He use his knowledge to make better security for users.He share his knowledge with others.Ethical hackers or simply hackers are under this group.

2) Black-Hat Hackers
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
This are the hackers who hack a network and distroy all he wants and he do harm to every one.He works for black undergrounds.He create viruses,worms and he bombs anonymous mails,and he uses D.O.S (Denial Of Service) attack to make a server hang and become offline.He is called Cracker.If you see some sites with skulls and some XXX pictures it can be crackers site.He don’t want to share his knowledge and he want to misguide newbies to nithing and fed-up with disappointment.

3) Brown-Hat Hackers
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
This are the people who are in between Hackers and Crackers.They some times hack and else crack.They are cool people and share there knowledge to there friends or he people of his country. I think you got some ideas about hackers and crackers.So beware !!! There are more other peoples in this cyber world like Script Kiddies,Lamers etc..Script Kiddies are the people who uses others tools and others exploits to hack.They don’t want to know more about hacking and they don’t want to study hacking but want to hack.They are the people who don’t think and are the most fuckiest among proclaimed hackers.
Lamers are the real fools who say that they are hacker and they are going to hack you and kill your system.They fires that they can hack mail passwords and get inside your account.They simply ‘Blah…Blah…Blah’. But this idiots can’t do anything.They send viruses and worms they get and don’t know even the basics of hacking.They will never become a hacker or cracker.They will simply get caught by the police after some lamer attempts.

So this is the basic of hackers and hacking. The one important thing in hacking is that you should have patients.The studying of hacking takes years and you are always
studying and sharing.

Enjoy..

What is Domain Hijacking and how to Prevent it

Greetings ,

What is Domain Hijacking and how to Prevent it …

Losing a domain is an incredibly frustrating experience for domain owners. This article will help explain how this happens, and how you can keep it from happening to you.

There are three main ways that people lose domain names:

1. An owner allows the domain registration to lapse

2. A domain is stolen after a hijacker gains access to the registry record

3. An owner does not keep up-to-date contact information in their record and their record is deleted after the registrar concludes that contact with the owner is not possible

The good news is that there are steps you can take to keep this from happening to you. The most basic way to avoid loosing your domain is to keep track of expiration dates and maintain your contact information. One smart way to do this is to consolidate your domains at one high-quality registrar. This allows you to manage a domain portfolio more easily and comprehensively. But remember, your domain can be deleted if your contact data is out of date. Registrars now have to verify ownership annually.

A second and related tip is to make sure that you are listed as the Administrative Contact, also known as the “admin-c”. If it is a corporate domain name, then make sure the business owner or a senior executive is the Administrative Contact; this person is authorized to modify the site, the records, and he or she can change the domain’s ownership.

Next, it is important to use a paid email account for your Administrative Contact email address whenever possible. Free email addresses can be suspended or deleted. If this happens, you will not receive notices from your registrar for renewal, and someone else could register that email address and then use it to request a domain transfer.

You can also place a registrar lock on your domain. This can help prevent it from being transferred, modified, or deleted by a third party. It is also important that you make sure your registrar gives you the ability to unlock your domain at any time without having to call or email them. Otherwise, when you sell a domain name you will have to wait for someone at the registrar to process your request, and then the transfer will take more time, and most importantly, it will take more time for you to receive your payment.

It is also important for you to be an educated email user. Never respond to emails that ask you to click on a link or respond without investigating the source and fully understanding the e-mail’s contents. Be especially careful with domain-related emails that look official but are from an unknown source. Contact your registrar to find out what is happening and if the email is from them. Domain hijackers have been known to send out mass transfer requests hoping that a small number of people will actually accept the transfer request. Do not let yourself fall prey to this type of scam.

Another step you can take to make sure you do not lose your domain is putting your registrar on your email list of “approved senders”. This will ensure that you receive emails from your registrar, including the all important registry renewal notices.

Finally, on a related note, it is a good idea to renew your domain early and for long periods of time. Registrars are allowing domain owners to register their domains for longer periods of time and at more competitive prices.
Protect your domains by following these guidelines:

1) Keep track of expiration dates and keep your contact information up-to date. (Consider domain consolidation.)

2) Make sure you are listed as the Administrative Contact so that only you can modify the domain record or change ownership.

3) Try to avoid using free-email addresses.

4) Make use of registrar locks over which you have control.

5) Be an educated email user: investigate email senders and email contents.

6) Place your registrar on your “approved sender” email list and have emails from them go straight to your inbox.

7) Renew your domain early and for long periods of time.

Greetings ,

Well known internet tool to check if a machine is running is PING. Many users wants to disable PING to avoid detection or to keep away from Hackers.

You can use following command to disable PING:

echo “1″ >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

The following command we enable PING for you:

echo “0″ >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
