website spoofing
what are you thinking of about the title I gave for this post? Yeah, I am talking about website spoofing? I here I am going to tell you how one can fool others by making them belief they are clicking a link for a website but are in fact opening some other link. How can this be done? Do we need hardcore hacking? If you are thinking, oh yea we need to do hardcore stuffs then you are thinking it the other way. But if you think the way I do then its no hard stuff then just having two domains joined by ‘@’.
For example, if we have two domains www.google.com and www.ourgoogle.com then we can do this using the link www.google.com@www.ourgoogle.com. If you have doubt what it will be doing have a check, it will be clear or if you have any comments then please…
plymouth-themes finally worked in backtrack 5
I am using bt5R1 64bit which had Linux 2.6.32-21. But after the upgrade of the system it has Linux 2.6.39.4. And its now when I was installing plymouth themes. Actually everything went fine with the steps I had in my previous post on plymouth-theme installation on ubuntu-derivatives. But it didn’t work for my case it was because I booted up with Linux 2.6.39.4 whereas while I executed the command sudo update-initramfs -u. It updated initramfs for Linux 2.6.32-21. That’s where I was stepped wrong. Are you doing the same that I did? Just ensure it.
Now, I am happy with the plymouth-theme changed.
If you haven’t read my previous post on plymouth-theme installation then I recommend to read it: http://parasnath.com.np/?p=2311
starting with truecrypt
Truecrypt is an opensource digital anti forensic tool. It can be downloaded from truecrypt.org. In backtrack, it is placed at Backtrack->Forensics->Digital Anti Forensic. The use of this tool is very easy. A simple way of using it is:
Creating a truecrypt volume:
- Click on ‘Create volume’
- Select ‘Create an encrypted file container’ and do ‘next’
- Select ‘standard TrueCrypt Volume’ and do ‘next’
- Click on ‘Select file’
- Type a filename and then click ‘save’
- Click ‘next’
- Select encryption algorithm for example ‘AES’ and do ‘next’
- Enter the size of the file and do ‘next’
- Enter a password and do ‘next’
- Choose the filesystem type for example ‘FAT’ and click ‘next’
- Choose ‘I will mount the volume on other platforms’ or ‘I will mount the volume only on linux’ as preferred
- Move the mouse cursor for randomisation and then click ‘format’
- Click the ‘ok’ of the messagebox and then ‘next’ finally ‘cancel’
- Click ‘cancel’
And the volume is now created for use 
Using a truecrypt volume:
- Click on select file
- Choose the truecrypt volume to be used
- Click ‘mount’
- Supply the password
- Click ok
Finally, the volume is ready for use, add files, delete files.
how to hide and unhide programs from start menu in backtrack
To open most of the program we go to application menu. And anybody can see what programs we have in our computer by clicking that menu item. But sometimes we just don’t want all to know what we have installed in our system by simply clicking the application menu. It would be great if we just hide those programs from others and for our case we can possible execute the program by ‘Run Application’ which can be accessed by simply pressing ‘Alt+F2′ or from typing the command in terminal.
If you are one thinking of this then just go to the System->Preference->Main Menu. And from there just check the programs that should appear in the menu and uncheck the ones that should not appear in the menu that’s all.
Not only this we can also add programs we wrote in the menu list by adding a new item or delete any program from the menu list also. Just do try for yourself like I did.
changing plymouth themes in ubuntu derivatives
Search for plymouth-themes using the following command in terminal:
sudo apt-cache search plymouth-theme
Then install the one you want to install:
sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio
Then the following command will be used to choose the themes from the installed ones:
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
Then the final step is :
sudo update-initramfs -u
Now restart the system and see the new splash screen.
