Hacking Skype

It looks like Skype has another big hole in their security. According to reports, a security hole makes Skype accounts vulnerable to hijacking. The security hole allows unauthorized users with knowledge of your Skype-connected email address to change the password on your Skype account, thus gaining control of it.

The hijack is triggered by signing up for a new Skype account using the email address of another registered user. No access to the victim's inbox is required one just simply needs to know the address. Creating an account this way generates a warning that the email address is already associated with another user, but crucially the voice-chat website does not prevent the opening of the new account.

Then hacker just have to ask for a password reset token , which Skype app will send automatically to your email, this allows a third party to redeem it and claim ownership of your original username and thus account. The issue was reportedly documented on Russian forums months ago, and appears to have been easy to exploit.

Skype appears to have pulled its password reset page, stopping this flaw in its tracks and said, "We have had reports of a new security vulnerability issue. As a precautionary step we have temporarily disabled password reset as we continue to investigate the issue further. We apologize for the inconvenience but user experience and safety is our first priority"

For quick security of your account, users should change associated e-mail address of your Skype account.

To Increase The Browsing Speed Of Your Network’s Shared Folders

Hay friends finally after so many days i am back on blogging, well somebody asked this question and i thought to share this with you all..so here it is the way to gear-up the network's shared folders browsing speed...


go to run type gpedit, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MECHINE
then expand SOFTWARE
then MICROSOFT
then Windows
then CurrentVersion
then Explorer
then RemoteComputer
then Namespace
and finallu u ll get this {863aa9fd-42df-457b-8e4d-0​de1b8015c60}
jurt right ckick n del...u r done...

Cell location info

Few years back a phone was launched called Nokia N95, it used to have an App which was providing 

the details of the caller, area even it used to show the google map address on the phone screen, 

the same feature was also launched innokia E90. This is the source code for that App, which is

written in python, hope you will like it.

import location
 
 
mcc, mnc, lac, cellid = location.gsm_location()
 
print "Mobile Country Code:", mcc
print "Mobile Network Code:", mnc
print "Location Area Code:", lac
print "Cell ID:", cellid

Orkut fact

    Hi friends hope i am able to deliver what i want exactly. So lets start and don't waste time here is the thing i was doing something something on orkut as i do with every website. Here some readers know already that what i have done in orkut, some times the "hacked by neo" list used to cross even 50. Hmm that is also not the topic, the topic is the cookie which is generated when you log-in to your account, but the stupid orkut server forgets to erease the cookie, and the people like me loves this stupidity of orkut. Any one can use that cookie and hijack any account with it's respective cookie. Some people might be thinking this is not fair but thhis is the fact. Have guts to face the truth and live with the truth. As you know already "Nothing is what it seems", good day.
