Introduction

This tutorial should not be used to exploit webservers. Some of de techniques used here have certain outputs that can crash old servers makin’ them unusable. Throughout this tutorial, techniques will be passed on from exploits found in de ‘windows’ OS. That ‘ACTUALLY’ helps in de prevention of deletion. There are lots of methods in stoppin’ a deleter, without de ANY restrictions set on de server but most have some weak point. After comin’ across four new techniques, makin’ a folder ‘invisible’ or undetectable from an ftp client LIST fuction. Makin’ folders/directories inaccessable and clone prevention, creatin’ smart directories which slows
down de users attempt. I’m sure most users would thank me for this, ‘undeletable files’ after experiencin’ rock solid protection and safe files.

Invisible Directories

The idea of invisible directoires came about when I came across paths that were “/ /example/” and was not listed in de main folder but was still ‘accessable’. These can be created in all directories without oder users knowin’ it exists unless bein’ searched for ‘MANUALLY’, which takes ages at de present time to search through each folder for “/ /”.

Creatin’ Invisible Directories

1. before
./pub/
./images/
./_vti_pvt/
./_vti_cnf/
./_vti_log/
./temp/

2. after
./ /~/temp/tagged/for/team/warezpiratez/fxp/ <- hidden folder
./pub/
./images/
./_vti_pvt/
./_vti_cnf/
./_vti_log/
./temp/

To create de hidden folders, make a new dir. as follows usin' this method. [backslash][space][backslash][foldername1][backslash][foldername2].

ie. / /foldername1/foldername2/...

The 'space' isn't a name but a 'character' that does not get listed, derefore makin' de directories impossible to view.

NOTE: Makin’ de hidden folders several LAYERS/SUB-DIRECTORIES deep is recommended.

ie. / / / /~/temp/tagged/for/ /team/warez/ /piratez/fxp/

This technique is not ‘anti-deletion proof’ but hidden from deletion proof! Read more to find out how to combine ALL THREE TECHNIQUE to make it ‘REMOTELY’ impossible to delete. Please note de ‘quotes’, REMOTELY in a sense that remote/local host.

Inaccessable Directories

Inaccessable directories prevents de user from ‘enterin'’ de folder. The user will not be able to enter de folders unless knowin’ de ‘entire’ remote path.

Creatin’ Inaccessable Directories

1. before
./temp/tagged/for/team/warezpiratez/fxp/
./pub/
./images/
./_vti_pvt/
./_vti_cnf/
./_vti_log/
./temp/

2. after
./COM1 / temp/tagged/for/team/warezpiratez/fxp/ <- inaccessable directories, due to 'COM1' former windows bug.
./pub/
./images/
./_vti_pvt/
./_vti_cnf/
./_vti_log/
./temp/

To create inaccessable folders, use de followin' list of 'UNUSABLE NAMES'

COM1 COM1 COM3 COM4 (Windows COM PORTS)
LPT1 LPT2 LPT3 LPT4 (Windows Printer Ports)
AUX
NUL

Make a new folder "COM1[space][backslash][space][backslash] ie. /COM1 / /

NOTE: This makes de folder inaccessable, even to de siteadmin.(unless accessed from DOS, local with access to de machine.)

To use de dir. Create a new folder called “COM1[space][backslash][space][foldername1][backslash][foldername2] ie. /COM1 / / ~/temp/tagged/

NOTE: This folder is still inaccessable, if a user attempts to enter it. To gain access to de folder, de ‘full path’ must be known. To enter de folder use de RAW command ‘CWD’ change dir. path. to enter de folder. ie. CWD /COM1 / / ~/temp/tagged/ and voila de folder is usable and workin’.

TIP: Creatin’ de folder ’several’ LAYERS/SUB-DRIECTORIES deep. It is impossible to enter.

Smart Directories

This technique involves, de creation of directories that are ‘COPYRIGHT’. How’s that for a simple description. The idea is to create directories that would contain [periods] thorough each of de subdirectories or segmenets. The use of this is quite sipmle, note de word ‘COPYRIGHT. Most users use de ftp://login :password at ip :port/path/ format for faster access to an ftp.

Creatin’ Smart Directories

To create ’smart’ directories. Make de folder names of each sub directories contain a period before, inside, and after words within de subdirectories creatin’ a fake ‘file’ recognition. The Widows based clients will assume de folders to be files with windows usin’ its 8.3 format for file names.

1. before
ftp://anonymous@anonymous@123.456.789:21/temp/tagged/for/team/warezpiratez/f
xp/

2. after
ftp://anonymous@anonymous@123.456.789:21/temp/tagged ./for . /team. /. warez
.piratez/fxp

NOTE: Be as creative as possible with de dot formation, to prevent COPYING of all folders through each directories. The idea is to make de directories act as file extensions derefore when copied, it will be ‘queued’ and de user has to enter de directories MANUALLY. Oder ‘SYMBOLS’ can be used NOT ONLY just periods. But I find this most common, if de creator intends to create a catch phrase ‘memorable’ to him alone.

QUEUE: 1. /temp/tagged ./for . /team. /. warez .piratez/fxp <- result of folder extensions

Undeletable Files

Sad that we had to resolve to this but, this might be de end of deletion as we speak. I find no oder method out dere that can accomplish this task except settin’ restrictions from de server. This method involves de file bein’ self-protected. Meanin’ de files are ‘accessable’/'downloadable’ but can NOT be deleted. The idea is to make de file corrupted/crash makin’ it ‘in use’.

Creatin’ Undeletable Files

To create a self protected file, rename de entire file includin’ de extensions to de followin’ format:

filename[space][period]/[space]/ ie. filename ./ / The / / in de name as shown above in de previous example of creatin’ invisible directories makes de .extesion impossible to view on de pub as a windows recognized mime but, once dowloaded it will be shown and accessable. How’s that for wits.

1. before
warezpiratez.rar <- rar mime, winrar.

2. renamin’
warezpiratez ./ /

3. results
-warezpiratez <- unknown file(undeletable,downloadable) <- file will take de correct mime format on localhost

Ultimate Protection

The ultimate protection is obviously, yourself and your wits against de deleters. Use private FTPs, get fast sites T1+, but in this case, it would be de combination of all four techniques. Usin’ them into one major and thoughtout plan.

Creatin’ The Ultimate Protection

To create de ultimate protection that is desirable, first of all, create de invisible folders as shown above, several sub.dirs deep. Then creatin’ an ‘inaccesable’ folder within those invisible folders. Then de next step is to create those smart directories so it slows down ANY attempt to gain full access, and also it makes to user run into inaccessable folders. The idea is to trap de user before those folders usin’ de smart directories idea. I didn’t think that was ingenieus but just common sense and seemd smart!.

1. before
/temp/tagged/for/team/warezpiratez/fxp/ <- no protection

2. after
/ / /./ ./COM1 / temp/tagged ./for . /team. /. warez .piratez/fxp <-
protection(still weak)

NOTE: You can be creative with this technique, make it more complex, I didn’t do it in this tutorial because den that would make you just confused. I hope this helps, and please understand. It is not hard, unless you didn’t read from de Introduction. I made this well detailed. For it to be as simple as possible.

FAQ

1. What is a SUB-DIRECTORY
- It is de folder that is second/inside anoder folder. ie. firstfolder/subdir/

2. What is a pub
- Short for public ftp. There are, no restrictions/protection on de access over files. Some have them in most cases but den uploads/downloads are denied. Some would not allow fxp.

3. What does all this mean?
- It provides de internet safer from all de deleters.

4. Who are deleters?
- Deleters are mean and NASTY people who deletes files. Consists of spammers too.

To clean this periodically go to:

1) Star / Run / Prefetch
2) Press Ctrl-A to highlight all de shorcuts
3) Delete them

Not Displayin’ Logon, Logoff, Startup and Shutdown Status Messages

To turn dese off:

1) Start Regedit
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MicrosoftWindows/CurrentVersion/
policies/system
3) If it is not already dere, create a DWORD value named DisableStatusMessages
4) Give it a value of 1

Clearin’ de Page File on Shutdown

1) Click on de Start button
2) Go to de Control Panel
3) Administrative Tools
4) Local Security Policy
5) Local Policies
6) Click on Security Options
7) Right hand menu - right click on “Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile”
8) Select “Enable”
9) Reboot

For regedit users, if you want to clear de page file on each shutdown:

1) Start Regedit
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControl/SetControl/SessionManager/
MemoryManagement/ClearPageFileAtShutdown
3) Set de value to 1

If you don’t need to see de XP boot logo :

1) Run MSCONFIG
2) Click on de BOOT.INI tab
3) Check de box for /NOGUIBOOT

Speedin’ de Startup of Some CD Burner Programs

If you use program oder than de native WindowsXP CD Burner software, you might be able to increase de speed that it loads.

1) Go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
2) Double-click on IMAPI CD-Burnin’ COM Service
3) For de Startup Type, select Disabled
4) Click on de OK button and den close de Services window

Gettin’ Rid of Unread Email Messages

To remove de Unread Email message by user’s login names:

1) Start Regedit
2) For a sin’le user: Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MicrosoftWindows/CurrentVersion/UnreadMail
3) For all users: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MicrosoftWindows/CurrentVersion/UnreadMail
4) Create a DWORD key called MessageExpiryDays
5) Give it a value of 0

Decreasin’ Boot Time

Microsoft has made available a program to analyze and decrease de time it takes to boot to Windows XP. The program is called BootVis

1) Uncompress de file.
2) Run BOOTVIS.EXE
3) For a startin’ point, run Trace / Next Boot + Driver Delays
4) This will reboot your computer and provide a benchmark
5) After de reboot, BootVis will take a minute or two to show graphs of your system startup.
6) Note how much time it takes for your system to load (click on de red vertical line)
7) Then run Trace / Optimize System
8) Re-Run de Next Boot + Drive Delays
9) Note how much de time has decreased
10) Mine went from approximately 33 to 25 seconds.

Increasin’ Graphics Performance

By default, WindowsXP turns on a lot of shadows, fades, slides etc to menu items. Most simply slow down deir display.

To turn dese off selectively:

1) Right click on de My Computer icon
2) Select Properties
3) Click on de Advanced tab
4) Under Performance, click on de Settin’s button
5) To turn them all of, select Adjust for best performance
6) My preference is to leave them all off except for Show shadows under mouse pointer and Show window contents while draggin’

Increasin’ System Performance

If you have 512 megs or more of memory, you can increase system performance by havin’ de core system kept in memory.

1) Start Regedit
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControl/SetControl/SessionManager/
MemoryManagement/DisablePagin’Executive
3) Set de value to be 1
4) Reboot de computer

Increasin’ File System Cachin’

To increase de amount of memory Windows will locked for I/O operations:

1) Start Regedit
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControl/SetControl/SessionManager/
MemoryManagement
3) Edit de key IoPageLockLimit

Resolvin’ Inability to Add or Remove Programs

If a particular user cannot add or remove programs, dere might be a simple registry edit neeed.

1) Go to HKCU/Software/MicrosoftWindows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Uninstall
2) Change de DWORD NoAddRemovePrograms to 0 disable it

4096 - 32megs of memory or less
8192 - 32+ megs of memory
16384 - 64+ megs of memory
32768 - 128+ megs of memory
65536 - 256+ megs of memory

Method 1

To view someone’s IP address when dey send you hotmail email do this:
1) Click “Options” on de upper right side of de page.
2) On de left side of de page, Click “Mail”
3) Click “Mail Display Settin’s”
4) Under “Message Headers” select “Full” or “Advanced”
5) Click ok

Method 2

Register a dydns account and install de IP pointer, so each time you pin’ de host name you registered

For example:

You register de host name myhost.dydns.com, den you keep a little software runnin’ on de target host. The little software will keep updatin’ your IP to dydns.com server. So at your pc just start cmd, and pin’ myhost.dydns.com, it will give you de most updated IP address.

Method 3

Simply type in nc -vvv -l -p 80 on your box, which will set it to listen in verbose mode on port 80. Then give them a link to your IP address (for example: 111.111.111.11) and tell them to type it in deir browser. The browser should resolve de address as well as append port 80 automatically. Just make sure that your friend is not very computer literate.

Method 4

Just download a very simple server such as this one and install it on your comp. Then run it and give your IP to de person you want and tell them to connect to it through a browser. Your server will log deir connection and you will get deir IP.

VNC is a remote-controlled desktop product. Dependin’ on de configuration, remote users may not be presented with a password. Even when presented with a password, de mere existance of VNC can be important to an attacker, as is de open port of 5800.

To see results; just write in de (www.google.com/) search en’ine de code:

“VNC Desktop” inurl:5800

By de way, New version of VNC changed title to VNC Viewer so now you can search for

intitle:vnc.desktop inurl:5800
