Windows TCP/IP Utilities
The following are the IP utilities available in Windows that help in finding out the information about IP Hosts and domains. These are the basic IP commands that every beginner in the field of hacking must know!
Please note that the the term Host used in this article may also be assumed as a Website for simple understanding purpose.
1. PING
PING is a simple application (command) used to determine whether a host is online and available. PING command sends one or more ICMP “Echo message” to a specified host requesting a reply. The receiver (Target Host) responds to this ICMP “Echo message” and returns it back to the sender. This confirms that the host is online and available. Otherwise the host is said to be unavailable.
Syntax:
C:\>ping gohacking.com
2. TELNET
Telnet command is used to connect to a desired host on a specified port number. Just like a house having several doors, a host or a server has different ports running different services. For example port 80 runs HTTP, port 23 runs TELNET while port 25 SMTP. Like this there are several ports on a server through which it is possible for a remote client to establish a connection.
For a connection to be established, the port has to be open. For example, in the following command, we are trying to establish a connection with the Yahoo server on port 25.:
Syntax:
C:\>telnet yahoo.com 25
C:\>telnet yahoo.com
C:\>telnet yahoo.com
The default port number is 23. When the port number is not specified the default number is assumed.
NOTE: If you are using Vista or Windows 7, Telnet feature may not be available by default. To enable it, you can refer my other post: How to enable Telnet feature in Vista and Windows 7?.
3. NSLOOKUP
Many times, we think about finding out the IP address of a given site. Say for example google.com, yahoo.com, microsoft.com etc. But how to do this? There are several websites out there that can be used to find out the IP address of any given website. However, in the Windows operating itself, we have an inbuilt tool to do this job for us. It is called “nslookup”.
This tool can be used for resolving a given domain name into it’s IP address (determine the IP of a given site name). Not only this, it can also be used for reverse IP lookup. That is, if the IP address is given it determines the corresponding domain name for that IP address.
Syntax:
C:\>nslookup google.com
4. NETSTAT
The netstat command can be used to display the current TCP/IP network connections. For example, the following “netstat” command displays all the currently established connections and their corresponding listening port numbers on your computer.
Syntax:
C:\>netstat -a
Type “Ctrl+Z” to exit.
This command can be used to determine the IP address/Host names of all the applications connected to your computer. If a hacker is connected to your system even the hacker’s IP is displayed. So, the “netstat” command can be used to get an idea of all the active connections of a given system.
NOTE: In order to obtain help on any given command such as it’s syntax, attributes etc., just type the “command-name /?” to obtain usage details on it. For example, to obtain help on “netstat” command just type: netstat /? and hit enter.

How to Trace Any IP Address
In my earlier post, I had discussed on How to find the IP address of a remote computer. But once you obtain this IP address, it is necessary to trace it back to the 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 back to it’s location is a lot simpler than what many people imagine. There exists many online tools using which you can accomplish this job. 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:
-
Country in which the IP is located
-
City to which the IP address belongs to
-
Latitude/Longitude of the IP’s location
-
Zip Code of the region to which the IP belongs to
-
Time Zone associated with the IP
-
Name of the ISP to which the IP address belong to
-
Internet Speed of the computer associated with the IP
-
Weather Station associated with the region of the IP
-
Domain name associated with the IP address
A sample snapshot of the results from ip2location.com is given below:
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 destinatio

How to Use Keyloggers – A Detailed Tutorial with FAQs
Here is a detailed tutorial which contains every possible information that you need to know about keyloggers.
I know most of you are new to the concept of keyloggers. For some of you, this might be the first time you heard about the term “keylogger”. So, to give you a clear picture and make you understand better, I would like to take up this post in the form of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions). Here we go…
NOTE: I highly recommend that you read this post completely since every single piece of information is important.
1. What is a Keylogger?
A keylogger (also called as spy software) is a small program that monitors each and every keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. A keylogger program can be installed in just a few seconds and once installed, you are only a step away from getting the target password and other sensitive data.
2. How Keylogger works?
Once the keylogger is installed on a PC, it starts operating in the background (stealth mode) and captures every keystroke of the target computer.
Let’s take up a small example: The user on the target computer goes to http://mail.yahoo.com and types his “username” and the “password” in the respective fields to login. The keylogger silently records these keystrokes and stores them in the logs. These logs when opened up shows the captured “username” and “password“. Along with this, you will also be shown that they were typed in the Yahoo login page. Thus, the keylogger loads upon every startup, runs in the background and captures each and every keystroke.
3. How to install the keylogger?
A keylogger can be installed just like any other program. Just follow the screen instructions and you’re done.
4. Do I need any special knowledge to install and use the keylogger?
Absolutely NOT! Anyone with a basic computer knowledge can install and use the keylogger. It requires no special skills.
5. Once I install the keylogger can the victim come to know about it’s presence?
No. The victim will never come to know about the presence of the keylogger on his/her computer. This is because, once installed, the keylogger will run in total stealth mode. Unlike other programs, it will never show up in the start-menu, windows startup, program files, add/remove programs or the task manager. So, the victim can no way identify it’s presence on his/her PC.
6. Can I be traced back if I install the keylogger on some other computer?
No, it’s almost impossible to trace back to you for installing the keylogger on other’s PC.
7. Which keylogger is the best?
Today, there exists hundreds of keyloggers on the market and most of them are no more than a scam. So, I have personally tested some of the top keyloggers and conclude SniperSpy as the best one:
8. How SniperSpy works?
I will try to explain the working of Sniperspy in simple steps:
- After you purchase Sniperspy, you’ll be able to create the installation module using an easy set-up program. You need to email this module to the remote user as an attachment.
- When the remote user runs the module it’ll get installed silently and monitoring process will begin. The keystrokes are captured and uploaded to the SniperSpy servers continuously.
- You can login to your Sniperspy account (you get this after purchase) to see the logs which contains the password.
9. I don’t have physical access to the target computer. Can I still use SniperSpy?
Yes you can! SniperSpy supports REMOTE INSTALLATION feature which allows you to remotely install the program on any PC even if you have no physical access to it. For remote installation, all you need to do is just place the module (refer FAQ-8) in a .zip/.rar file and send it as an attachment to the target email address (for which you need the password).
10. Can I install SniperSpy on a local computer?
If you need to install to your local (current) computer instead of your remote computer, then the process is simple. Simply navigate to the folder in which you saved your module ( Refer FAQ-8). Double-click the module filename to execute it. Nothing will appear on the screen but the software gets installed silently.
11. What if the antivirus prevent from sending it as an email attachment?
Instead of sending the keylogger as an email attachment, it is recommended that you place the file in .ZIP/.RAR format and upload it to www.fileden.com. After uploading, just send the direct download link to the victim via email. Once he downloads the file from this link and run it, the keylogger will get installed automatically.
12. Why SniperSpy is the best?
- SniperSpy supports REMOTE INSTALLATION feature. This feature is not present on most of the keyloggers.
- SniperSpy is fully compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and alsoMac.
- SniperSpy canbypass any Firewall.
- SniperSpy is more reliable than any other keylogger program. You need not rely on your email account to receive the logs. Instead, you can just log in to your online SniperSpy account to receive the logs.
- SniperSpy captures full-size screenshots of the activities on the target PC.
- Records BOTH sides of chats / IMs in Google Talk, Yahoo IM, Windows Live and more.
- SniperSpy is more easy to install and requires no extra knowledge.
- SniperSpy is recognized by BBC, CNN, CBS and other news networks. Hence, it is reputed and trustworthy.

What are Private and Public IP Addresses
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are usually of two types: Public and Private. If you have ever wondered to know what is the difference between a public and a private IP address, then you are at the right place.
In this post I will try to explain the difference between a public and a private IP address in layman’s terms so that it becomes simple and easy to understand.
What are Public IP Addresses?
A public IP address is assigned to every computer that connects to the Internet where each IP is unique. In this case, there cannot exist two computers with the same public IP address all over the Internet. This addressing scheme makes it possible for the computers to “find each other” online and exchange information. User has no control over the IP address (public) that is assigned to the computer. The public IP address is assigned to the computer by the Internet Service Provider as soon as the computer is connected to the Internet gateway.
A public IP address can be either static or dynamic. A static public IP address does not change and is used primarily for hosting web pages or services on the Internet. On the other hand, a dynamic public IP address is chosen from a pool of available addresses and changes each time one connects to the Internet.
Most Internet users will only have a dynamic IP assigned to their computer which goes off when the computer is disconnected from the Internet. Thus when it is re-connected it gets a new IP.
You can check your public IP address by visiting www.whatismyip.com
What are Private IP Addresses?
An IP address is considered private if the IP number falls within one of the IP address ranges reserved for private networks such as a Local Area Network (LAN). The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks (local networks):
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (Total Addresses: 16,777,216)
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (Total Addresses: 1,048,576)
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (Total Addresses: 65,536)
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (Total Addresses: 1,048,576)
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (Total Addresses: 65,536)
Private IP addresses are used for numbering the computers in a private network including home, school and business LANs in airports and hotels which makes it possible for the computers in the network to communicate with each other.
Say for example, if a network X consists of 10 computers, each of them can be given an IP starting from192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10. Unlike the public IP, the administrator of the private network is free to assign an IP address of his own choice (provided the IP number falls in the private IP address range as mentioned above).
Devices with private IP addresses cannot connect directly to the Internet. Likewise, computers outside the local network cannot connect directly to a device with a private IP. It is possible to interconnect two private networks with the help of a router or a similar device that supports Network Address Translation.
If the private network is connected to the Internet (through an Internet connection via ISP), then each computer will have a private IP as well as a public IP. Private IP is used for communication within the network where as the public IP is used for communication over the Internet. Most Internet users with a DSL/ADSL connection will have both a private as well as a public IP.
You can know your private IP by typing ipconfig command in the command prompt. The number that you see against “IPV4 Address:” is your private IP which in most cases will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2. Unlike the public IP, private IP addresses are always static in nature.
Common Myth about Private IP Address:
Most people assume that a private IP is the one used for stealth Internet activities and hence cannot be detected. But this is NOT TRUE!.
Unlike what most people think, a private IP address (unlike the private telephone number) is just like any other IP address that belongs to a private network. In reality, there is no public IP address that is impossible to trace as the protocol itself is designed for transparency.
