Get A Windows Run Box Even if Run & Task Manager are Disabled
If your Run dialog has been disabled and your machine’s task manager is disabled,so don’t be panic,RunMimic is the solution. RunMimic is an emulation of the Windows Run dialog, it even looks the same!
If your Run dialog has been disabled and your machine’s task manager is disabled,so don’t be panic,RunMimic is the solution. RunMimic is an emulation of the Windows Run dialog, it even looks the same!
RunMimic is 21k portable executable, looks almost exactly like the regular Windows run box and it’s just as functional.All of the commands I normally need to issue worked without a hitch: services.msc, compmgmt.msc, control, appwiz.cpl, regedt32, cmd. RunMimic also had no problem getting Explorer to access my network file shares.
Since it’s portable, this is a nice little app to keep on a flash drive in case of emergencies. RunMimic is not the kind of program I need often, but I tend to work by the old Boy Scout motto: “Be prepared.”

WHAT IS KEYLOGGER?
WHAT IS KEYLOGGER?
A keylogger is a program or piece of hardware that records all keyboard keystrokes
to an encrypted file which can then be read later. Based on the order of the keystrokes,it is usually easy to identify the password(s) from the file later. Like the Trojan, this also requires that someone actually type the password. Keyloggers come in two types:hardware and software. A hardware keylogger can be fitted between the keyboard cable and the computer and can be activated with a few keystrokes. It is then left in place until after the password that you are looking to hack is typed. Later it is removed and the file of keystrokes is examined for the password. A software keylogger is installed on a system and effectively has the same function, however, it is a little bit more complex to use since it must be installed to run stealthily. A keylogger could be usedto steal a password from someone who is using an office computer or sharing a computer. It is likely that installing and using such a device or piece of software is illegal and we do not recommend or condone this activity.

HOW TO HACK AOL, YAHOO AND HOTMAIL..!!
HOW TO HACK AOL, YAHOO AND HOTMAIL..!!
NOW I UPDATED THE POST BY THE FACT DAT ALL THE INTERNET SERVICES UPDATES THEIR SECURITY METHODS & REQURED REGULAR LOGIN AFTER A PARTICULAR SPAN SO METHODS LIKE COOKIE CHATCHING,BRUITE FORCE R OF NO USE BUT STILL U CAN READ THIS POST AS D PURPOSE OF STUDY COZ DIS HV D BASIC THINGS WHICH ALL CAN SCIP THINKING AS LENGTHY & BORING…!!
MOST OF THE PEOPLE DON'T WANNA TAKE PAIN N JUS WANT FINAL SCRIP/SOFTWARE WHICH CAN HACK FOR THEM JUST 4 CLICK….. DO STOP DEVLOPING THIS SORT OF THINKING N START'S BRUNING UNLESS U CAN;T GET SWEET RESULTS..!!
DAT'S D WAY'S WHICH R USED TO….
We get numerous calls from people who want to recover AOL®, Yahoo® or
Hotmail® or other online and email passwords. We do not do this type of
work. Many of these people claim that they have lost their passwords because
they have been hacked and now need to get their password back.
As we have reviewed information on the web, we found
very little real information about the actual techniques that could be used
to hack these services. So we decided to pull together a detailed explanation.
What follows is a detailed explanation of the methodologies involved. We
do not condone any illegal activity and we clearly mention in this article
techniques that are illegal. Sometimes these methods are known as "Phishing."
THE HOAX
Let's dispose of one technique that is absolutely a hoax (meaning a fraud:
something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.)
If you see a newsgroup post or web page with something like the following, it is a
hoax and will not work.
: : : (([[THIS REALLY WORKS ]])) : : :
(1) send an E-mail to passwordrecovery@yourdomainhere.com
(2) In the subject box type the screenname of the person whose password you wish to steal
(3) In the message box type the following:
/cgi-bin/start?v703&login.USER=passmachine&class
=supervisor&f={your aol password}&f=27586&javascript=ACTIVE&rsa
(4) Send the e-mail with priority set to "high" (red ! in some mailprograms)
(5) wait 2-3 minutes and check your mail
(6) Read the message.-Where YOUR password was typed before,
NOW, the password of the screenname in the code string is there!!!
Why does this work? It´s a special decryption-server that
AOL-employees can use to decrypt passwords.The aolbackdoor
account is a bot that reads your authentification from the message
body and identifiying you as a valid AOL Staff-member,
you will get the password mailed back to you. The trick is that this
Bot´s script seems to be a little bit buggy and it automatically recogises
you as an supervisor (AOL-Staff member), even if you use a normal AOL
account. This means, that EVERYONE having a valid AOL account can
hack as many other accounts as he wants.
This is just a scam to steal your password and may explain some of the
calls we get from people saying they were hacked. Never give your
password to anyone. No legitimate web service or customer service
representative will ask for it or need it. There is no magic email address
or series of commands that will reveal the passwords of users.

what is TROJAN?
TROJAN
A Trojan is a program that is sent to a user that allows an attacker to control
functions of the target computer, recover information from the target or to delete
or damage files on the target. The name Trojan is given because the program wil
l usually come attached to some other program or file that entices you to run it.
There are a wide variety of Trojans any number of which can be programmed to
capture passwords as they are typed and to email or transmit them to a third party.
To protect yourself against Trojans, you should
never execute or download software or files that are not from a trusted source.
It is critical that anyone working on internet use a virus protection program
(which should catch most Trojans.) Note that since a Trojan requires the password
to be typed or stored in order to be recovered, this is not an effective way to recover
your own password. It could explain, however, how someone could lose their
password to a hacker. Sending someone a Trojan program is certainly illegal and
we do not recommend or condone this activity. A Trojan is unlikely to be effective
in recovering a particular account password since it requires the target to install it.
However, hackers will often bulk mail Trojans to thousands of people in the hope that a
small percentage will get caught. Legitimate account holders who may have been
caught by a Trojan and can authenticate themselves should contact their service provider
to have their account passwords reset.
