protect yourself against yahoo account hackers

2008-07-27T06:46:00.000-07:00

Hi there,
I'm writing this because I'm seek and tired of people talking about hackers cracking Yahoo accounts, sick and tired of those 'learn how to hack yahoo' files on torrent, sick and tired of noobs (which I will call here 'wussy') thinking that if they have a piece of software made by some real programmer they can call them self hackers.

I will post here 3-4 way how hackers might get into your webmail account, and how to fight back.

1. Brute force attack:

Brute force attack means: I try a lot of passwords and I just might get lucky to find yours. Of course if you try typing possible passwords all day, you might get old before finding the right one. So this method works hand in hand with an automated software which does the job for you.
Most of the free webmails online at this hour have protection against this kind of attack which works like this:
If someone tries a number of passwords (let's say 3-5 times) on your account without any success the web page will show a chaptcha system that prevents automated input of passwords. (shows a text and asks user to manually input that text in a text box).
There are advanced hacking programs that might avoid that step.

The best way to protect yourself against this kind of attacks is to set a "hard to guess" password for your account, like "sn9-+8345:W?f##$2". A password like this would take months, maybe years to crack. If this one is too hard to remeber for you you can try using only numbers and letters. But avoid to use English words, names of words easy to guess.

2. Keyloggers and similar programs:

Key loggers are software programs that record all the keys you press on your keyboard, keeping a log entry which allows the hacker to read your password after you input it on your keyboard. It might send those log files to a specific e-mail address.

How to protect against them:
Usually they need to be intalled on your computer by someone. So be carefull who uses your computer and watch him/her activity on it.
Use a good firewall and a good antispyware/antivirus (trojan horses also install those kind of programs so be careful what browsers you use. In this case I recommend Firefox 3 as a safe browser). I personally use Norton Personal Firewall / NOD 32 anti virus.

3. Phishing

Pishing is when a wussy creates a copy of a website he wants to hack the account for, sends an e-mail on the person's address asking it to enter the website and input the user name and password for who knows what reason. Of course, the user thinks he's on the right website, inputs the user name and password and tries to login. In that moment the information is sent to the wussy, and the page redirect the user to the real webpage, or shows a error message like "password is wrong".

How to protect yourself against phising:
Always pay attention to the link:
It might be something like: http://mail.yahao.com, instead of http://mail.yahoo.com
First link is a copy of the other one and as the links look alike, most people don't pay attention to them and think they are on yahoo's page. so be careful.
Also remember that none of those webmail services out there will never EVER as you for your password by e-mail nor phone nor ANY WAYS, so don't tell them to anyone.

4. Trojans/cookie injection/buffer overflow etc.

Those are ways to hack into someone's account but the difference is that wussies don't really have access to them. You need to have solid knowledge of programing/hacking before really succeeding with those.
Those are based on weaknesses of the operating system, browser, different machines which hackers discover and uses them to get control over your computer/account.
You can protect against them using a good antivirus/anti spyware and updating your software permanently.

5. Those stupid letters from torrent :)

you might find on internet text files or documents that 'help' you hacking yahoo/msn/google accounts. Those ARE ALL B-SHIT. All that make you is to send your own account name and password to a wussy.

They sound like this:
If you want to find someones password, please send an email to something like accounts@yahoo.com and write in it the account you want to receive the password, your account name and your password and you will get the password of that specific account.

Now if you follow the instructions all you do is send the account and password to some wussy that created the 'accounts@yahoo.com' e-mail address.

Don't believe them, NO WEBMAIL provider WILL NEVER have a service like that, EVER.

Those are some ways that wussies try to hack your account, and the ways to protect yourself against them.

Hope it helps

YOU LITTLE CHEATER :)

Ok,
If you are here that means that you searched the net over and over again to find a cheating program that you can use on flash games.
On flash player 7 everything was easy, find the real value using a memory search program and change the value accordingly.
Since flash 8 and above... things got a little complicated! Why? because Macromedia/Adobe changed the way flash variable values are shown in memory so... no more finding and changing.
So that's why I created this little program, pretty easy to use, to cheat on flash games :)

How does it work:
0. Here's the program: http://www.top-design.ro/r4zcheater/r4zcheat.html

1. write your flash game link (the one with the swf, not the link to the page, ex: http://www.comegamesdomain.com/game.swf. You can find the link by right clicking the page with your game and chosing "view source") in the text field next to "Load" button. If you have any problems on this one just post a comment and I'll get back to it :)

2. Click "Load" button and wait the game to finish loading.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH LOADING THE GAME or a message box appears with some settings, then go here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.html
and click on "Always allow".

The movie might not load because your flashplayer.exe it is blocked by your firewall, so you might want to check this one out, too.

3. After the game has loaded, click on Show Variables to populate the dropdown box on the left.

4. Choose the variable you want to change, from the dropdown box, and it's value will be shown in the input box next to it.
5. Modify this value and click "Change"
6. There is no sixth step.

For any problems/curses/questions, leave a message or send me an e-mail to: r4z13ll@whozin.com

C ya soon
