Learn how to block or restrict the access to a particular website, or even redirect a person to a different website....
In this hackorial (hack-tutorial), we'll be dealing with the practicals of Desktop Phishing. To know about Desktop Phishing, kindly go through our tutorial on this link http://hackorial.blogspot.in/2014/02/desktop-phishing-learn-to-block.html. To accomplish our task of Desktop Phishing, we'll be working with the hosts file which can be found in the various versions of windows Operating System. We can quickly get to our hosts file in the path (as in win 7, vista, win 8, 8.1) -> C:\ --> Windows --> System32 --> drivers --> etc --> hosts
My hosts file looks like this
This is how hosts file looks
What basically hosts file used for, is to facilitate the task of name resolution or in simple terms the task of mapping the IP addresses to the host names. It fastens the task of name resolution as the entry for the IP address to host name mapping resides at the OS itself, so the DNS resolver need not to send request to the DNS server and wait for the response, and then open the website.
So, lets practically think what all can we do with this hosts file. If we just make an entry in our hosts file that maps a wrong IP address to a host name. So what exactly happens when someone browse that webpage for example www.rtoon.com and in turn that guy is redirected to any other site for exmple www.uhacked.com, or he is blocked from accessing www.rtoon.com if wrong IP address is mapped to it. We can do much more.
Follow these simple steps to block any website or redirect a website to a different webpage-
Step-1 Run notepad as administrator. (Note: not any editor only Notepad with admin privileges as its not easy to edit the hosts file directly)
Step-2 Open the hosts file from Notepad.
Step-3 Find the IP address of the website you want the victim to get redirected. For this open cmd (Win+R , type cmd, enter) type ping www.hackorial.blogspot.com
Step-4 Most important step of editing the hosts file. At the end of the file we can insert our entry by first typing the IP address we just got from ping command in the cmd, and then with a single space followed by the host name. Here host name refers to the website name that user opens and gets redirected to a different page.
Step-5 Save the file (CTRL+S) and restart the web-browser to see the results
For example the host name entry in the hosts file is facebook.com, so whenever the victim opens facebook.com, Our page hackorial.blogspot.com gets opened in the browser. And now the victim can never access facebook.com unless the hosts file is edited again. This is the magic of so called hosts file.
For strictly blocking any website without redirecting to a different website, you can do the following entry in the hosts file
127.0.0.1 anywebsite.com
You can anytime revert back to your original settings by deleting the entries or by commenting the entries in the hosts file by using # in front of each line. Its advisory to work with hosts file with proper understanding.
So, this was one of the practicals of Desktop Phishing in which we saw how to block any website directly from your OS. Catch out this video tutorial to get step-by-step lesson for accomplishing the task of Blocking the websites.

This article doesn't deal with hacking gmail accounts only deals with tricking and geeking with the gmail accounts. One thing that is surprisingly there in the gmail, which I noticed a couple of days back, is that you can use your single gmail account differently as multiple accounts.
Making it easier, see nowadays whenever visiting any website you are asked to sign up, for the full access to all the services and features offered by that website. But there are cases when the sign up process fails and you often get a message "You are already a registered member of this site" or "This email-id is already been taken". Therein either you have to reset your password and follow those same freaking steps or signup with a different id. Here i got a remedy for it, whether you have already registered on a website and want to register again, or there is a promotion or free services on a website which can be delivered to a single email-id, and you wanna grab it multiple times without making multiple id's. Here is the trick for you all, Geeks. I don't know whether it's a loophole in Gmail or they have done it purposely, it's totally none of our business till the time we are being benefited by it. Look, the thing is you have dot (.) in your Gmail ids, right? Now try out one thing, even if you remove this dot from email id and login to your account, you are successfully into your account without getting any error of wrong email-id or so. Cool, right? I think now you have got it, what more can be done with this simple trick.

Can you connect to your friend's desktop without your physical presence there and access it, either to help them out solving their doubts or for some other purposes, right away from your residence onto their PCs?
Is there any way out guys...??
By the way, yesterday my friend had some problem in hiding his folders and it was urgent for him to do it asap to protect some data from his younger brother. He was in Bangalore and i, in Delhi. There was no one to help him out. He searched on internet but some or the other problems occurred in his PC, where he was unable to resolve out the issue. Then he contacted me and I had the solution to this. I told him to install TeamViewer in his PC and I already had it installed in mine. With this setup done, I was remotely connected to his PC in seconds and resolved out his issue.
So, guys this is what I was talking about. With TeamViewer you can remotely connect to your friend’s device(PC or laptop) and help them out in their issues, by using their device as if you are using yours in front of you.

You don't need to worry about the installation process, its damn easy. Just open the downloaded setup file, and click on Next, Next and OK. Your installation is done. Now, open the TeamViewer you just installed on your device and tell your partner to open it too. Now ask your friend for the Id and Password provided by Teamviewer. Just copy paste the Id and Password onto your Teamviewer display and click on 'Connect to partner' button, You are done. Now your are connected to your partner's device.

Its time to do some Desktop Hacking or instead Desktop Phishing...
Do you know what's that??? Before starting practically lets see what exactly is Desktop Phishing. In short and simplest way Phishing is a method to acquire some sensitive and secure credentials or information from some one like passwords,usernames,credit card details,etc by appearing to them as a genuine or trustworthy person.By genuine means that you are forcing your buddies to trust you, and after gaining their trust you try to victimize them.That's what is so called Phishing.
This is the icon of fake facebook login page on the desktop
With phishing you can victimize any1 with your social tricks n get their credentials easily...that means you can hack their emails for eg. gmail, yahoo, hotmail,etc or any of the social networking sites as well like facebook, twitter,etc.
The process of Phishing involves making of a fake page of the site for eg. facebook.com, then you convince your victim to enter their credentials...As soon as they enter the login details and hit enter to proceed...you get their credentials on ur email-id...This is how it works...
This is the fake login page as clearly depicted by the URL
Desktop Phishing is an advanced type of Phishing attack.In normal phishing attack one can easily get to know about the fake login page on seeing the URL bar.But in desktop phishing this drawback is totally eliminated...What happens is that the hacker makes changes in the host file(C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\), and the send compressed file of this to the victim as soon as the victim opens particular site for facebook.com, he/she gets directed to the fake page and the domain name(facebook.com) remains same as typed by the victim...n the victim doesn't come to know that its a fake one...So doing changes in the host file n following the same procedure of the phishing is so called Desktop Phishing...
Stay tuned to The Hackorial for the tutorial on the practical application of Desktop Phishing i.e. Blocking websites
