Goooooogle Tips

Google.com is famous as a search engine and it's full
of tricks. Here are a few new tricks you haven't seen
yet.

Google does calculations. For example, to find out how
many times the number 8 goes into the number 720, just
type 720/8 in the search box and press the Enter key to
get the results. You can use the standard + and - keys to
add or subtract. Use the / key to divide and the * to
multiply.

You can also use google to convert measurements. For example,
type "100 meters in feet" (without the quotes) and press the
Enter key for the results.

Use a dash to eliminate a word you don't want in your search
results. For example, if you were looking for a Hilton hotel
and not the Paris Hilton, you'd type Hilton-Paris as your
search criteria.

Place quotes around your search query terms to direct Google
to search for the terms together. For example, "George Bush"
will avoid any reference to foliage.

If you want to limit your search to a certain domain type,
place a colon after your search and then type the domain
extension. For example, taxes:.org

To limit your search to a specific language sites, click on
Preferences (to the right of the search bar) and click next
to the languages you wish to read search results. Scroll down
to the bottom of that page and click Save Preferences.

Finally, you can enter a zip code, a +, and then a local search
result you wish to find. For example, type 91210+kitchen cabinets
to produce a list of cabinetmakers in Beverly Hills. This works
really well if you are looking for a restaurant.

Protect Your Passwords from HACKER

1. The first and most important thing to keep in mind is to not open any attachments while receiving any mails from unknown people. Even Non-executable files like .Doc files CAN contain macro viruses' and Trojans.

2. In the security world, they say "On the internet, you don't know if you are talking to a dog!!" The meaning of this saying is that just don't trust anybody on the internet whom you don't know. Don't chat with strangers just for fun. Don't click on any links given to you by someone you don't know. Don't disclose any kind of personal details to Any WebPages which you don't trust. There have been cases of people using fake yahoo login screens to steal passwords.

3. Install antivirus software along with anti-spy ware to protect your Computer system. If possible also install a desktop firewall (e.g.Zonealarm). Always remember to keep updating your virus definitions as Well as operating system for any available patches.

4. Do not accept links or downloads from strangers even if it is Tempting. There have cases where spy wares like Trojans, keyloggersEtc. has been hidden in simple picture files with JPG extensions. You never really know what is contained inside a file which looks innocuous.

5. Choose good passwords. What is a good password? It is a password Which is at least 6 characters long, not easily guessable, contains Mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters as well as numbers, and Preferably contains special characters like $, * %,!,* etc. Some example password: &*Can't*Crack (&

How hackers hack & crack Yahoo passwords?

1: Many people use MAGIC PASSWORD STEALER (MPS) Trojan to hack yahoo passwords.

A lot and I mean a lot of people are infected with Magic PS. Especially with Magic PS 1.5 Second Edition. If you don't know what is Magic PS. Magic PS is a trojan, simply a program that steal your Yahoo! Messenger 5 or 6 user name and password to the sender. Magic PS 1.5 SE no longer show itself in the Message Archive, so checking there won't help.

If the sender is stupid enough, he/she would sent you the file "sender.exe", DO NOT accept it because it is the default name for a MPS created file.

Check your computer for certain files such as these:

Regsvr.exe in c:\Winnt or c:\Windows; depends on version of Windows

MsAgent32.exe in c:\*Win installed folder*\system 32

Perflib-Perfdata in c:\*Win installed folder*\System32

PIF in c:\*Win installed folder*
NTMSJRLN in c:\*Win installed folder*\system32\NtmsData

Sender.exe

MPSmmtask0.exe in c:\Documents settings\*User Name*\Local settings\Temp

The sender.exe (can be any name) file may also contain a text string "UPX-Scrambler RC1.x -> ©OnT®oL". You can see this by using a hex editor, etc.

MPS 1.5 SE hides the (sender/hacker) Yahoo! ID in the sender.exe file, it is scrambled so even with a hex-editor, and you still cannot view it. To reveal the (sender/hacker) Y! ID, simply reverse-engineer the sender.exe file.

Solution : Do not receive any executable files from an unknown person on chat.

2: BY using fake login screens

They ask you to have a look at their picture by sending a link to yahoo fake login screen. It exactly looks like mail.yahoo.com page or photos.yahoo.com page it will ask you to enter your ID & password to login. If you enter your details those login details directly goes into hacker's inbox. So be careful of these kinds of attacks.

3: Cracking passwords by using Yahoo Password Crackers

There are many Password crackers out for cracking Yahoo passwords. If you are using a dictionary based password like "something, 12345, abcdef, Attitude, etc… It takes hardly 3 hours for a good cracker to crack the password.

Solution: Never use dictionary based passwords. Use a password like this...

Example: (Sec*) Pass+). This kind of passwords is impossible to crack
