Reset trial date of software (Crack Trial Limitations)

 You have a software with a trial of a limited time, but you need to use the software for another period of time, what can you do ? There are several ways to go about this one (You should try them by this order): You should begin with attempting to detect a known trial protection installed in this software, if it is of a known type then maybe there is a known hack for it. Attempt to change the date of the running software - not the date of the computer as a good hack should never interfere with your computer, the right way to go about this is to use Nirsoft's RunAsDate util , or use TimeStopper. Try to find the registry entry which has the installation timestamp - and remove it, for this one I would use Nirsoft's RegScanner  or RegistryFinder Uninstall the application completely (after uninstall also delete all registry entries) for this one I would use Bulk Crap Uninstaller , then install it from scratch Barring all of the above I would reinstall it on a new computer (or VM) ...

The many hurdles of cracking a WEP network

Goal: To obtain the password of a wifi network encrypted using WEP. I thought this to be an easy task as I read around the web, but it became a huge task consuming way too much of my time and money, for this task which was actually totally unneeded for me, just a curiosity, well, I may as well write about it. While crawling around I naturally searched for a windows based solution, early on I found out that there is a consensus about the best wifi cracking suite of programs called aircrack-ng . While going to their site I found that they say that cracking under windows is much less stable, robust and will never be as good as cracking from linux as windows adds layers of protection which prevent some of the cracking techniques. Ok, so I will do it using a linux distribution. I went back to my research and found out about the kali linux dist, it is a distribution based on Debian linux which already contains lots and lots of hacking/cracking utilities. Which wil...

Hacking Tips

You have an encrypted Password and you want to find what it is A good practice is to encrypt a password using a one way encryption, then when the user uses his password, you just encrypt it with the same algorithm and compare the stored encrypted value to the new value, if they are the same then he user entered the right password. Having the password as encrypted strings is a good measure of security, if you want to find the original password then it is not simple as the encryption works one way only. But still, in order to find the original password you can try the following: Throw the hashed string to google - you will be amazed Dumb brute-force , by hashing every keyboard sequence using a computer algorithm, the problem with this one is that it is very CPU intensive and it might take a verrrry long time Dictionary attack , doesn't use random keys, but uses real words in order to try and guess the password - this is a much faster method, but if the password wasn...
