What is Registery Editing?

• The physical files that make up the registry are stored differently
depending on your version of Windows; under Windows NT/XP/Vista the
files are contained separately in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config
directory. You cannot edit these files directly, you must use a tool
commonly known as a "Registry Editor" to make any changes.

The Structure of Registry:

• The Registry has a hierarchal structure; although it looks
complicated the structure is similar to the directory structure on your hard
disk, with Regedit being similar to Windows Explorer.




• Each main branch (denoted by a folder icon in the Registry Editor) is
called a Hive, and Hives contains Keys. Each key can contain other keys
(sometimes referred to as sub-keys), as well as Values. The values contain
the actual information stored in the Registry. There are three types of
values; String, Binary, and DWORD - the use of these depends upon the
context. 


 • There are five main Hives (branches), each containing a specific portion of
the information stored in the Registry. They are as follows:

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - This branch contains all of your file
association mappings to support the drag-and-drop feature, OLE
information, Windows shortcuts, and core aspects of the Windows user
interface.

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER - This branch links to the section of
HKEY_USERS appropriate for the user currently logged onto the PC and
contains information such as logon names, desktop settings, and Start
menu settings.

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - This branch contains computer specific
information about the type of hardware, software, and other preferences on
a given PC, this information is used for all users who log onto this
computer.

 • HKEY_USERS - This branch contains individual preferences for each user
of the computer; each user is represented by a SID sub-key located under
the main branch.

• HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG - This branch links to the section of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE appropriate for the current hardware
configuration.




 • Each registry value is stored as one of five main data types:

• REG_BINARY - This type stores the value as raw binary data. Most
hardware component information is stored as binary data, and can be
displayed in an editor in hexadecimal format.

• REG_DWORD - This type represents the data by a four byte number and
is commonly used for Boolean values, such as "0" is disabled and "1" is
enabled.

• REG_EXPAND_SZ - This type is an expandable data string that is string
containing a variable to be replaced when called by an application.

• REG_MULTI_SZ - This type is a multiple string used to represent values
that contain lists or multiple values, each entry is separated by a NULL
character.

• REG_SZ - This type is a standard string, used to represent human readable
text values.

 • The Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) is included with most version of
Windows it enables you to view, search and edit the data within the
Registry. There are several methods for starting the Registry Editor, the
simplest is to click on the Start button, then select Run, and in the Open
box type "regedit".

what is SRM?

                               SRM (Security Reference Monitor)

There are three components of Windows Security:
• LSA (Local Security Authority)
• SAM (Security Account Manager)
• SRM (Security Reference Monitor) 

3) • SRM (Security Reference Monitor) 

• The Security Reference Monitor is a security architecture component
that is used to control user requests to access objects in the system.
The SRM enforces the access validation and audit generation. Windows
NT forbids the direct access to objects. Any access to an object must
first be validated by the SRM. For example, if a user wants to access a
specific file the SRM will be used to validate the request. The Security
Reference Monitor enforces access validation and audit generation
policy.


• The reference monitor verifies the nature of the request against a table
of allowable access types for each process on the system. For example,
Windows 3.x and 9x operating systems were not built with a reference
monitor, whereas the Windows NT line, which also includes Windows
2000 and Windows XP, was designed with an entirely different
architecture and does contain a reference monitor. 


Windows User Account Architecture
 
• User account passwords are contained in the SAM in the
Hexadecimal Format called Hashes.
 
• Once the Passwords converted in Hashes, you cannot
convert back to the Clear Text.

What is SAM?

                                   • SAM (Security Account Manager)

 There are three components of Windows Security:
• LSA (Local Security Authority)
• SAM (Security Account Manager)
• SRM (Security Reference Monitor)

2)• SAM (Security Account Manager)

• The Security Accounts Manager is a database in the Windows
operating system (OS) that contains user names and passwords.
SAM is part of the registry and can be found on the hard disk.


• This service is responsible for making the connection to the SAMdatabase
(Contains available user-accounts and groups). The SAMdatabase
can either be placed in the local registry or in the Active
Directory (If available). When the service has made the connection
it announces to the system that the SAM-database is available, so
other services can start accessing the SAM-database. 

• In the SAM, each user account can be assigned a Windows password
which is in encrypted form. If someone attempts to log on to the
system and the user name and associated passwords match an entry in
the SAM, a sequence of events takes place ultimately allowing that
person access to the system. If the user name or passwords do not
properly match any entry in the SAM, an error message is returned
requesting that the information be entered again




• When you make a New User Account with a Password, it gets stored in
the SAM File. 


• Windows Security Files are located at
“C:\Windows\System32\Config\SAM”
• The moment operating system starts, the SAM file becomes
inaccessible

What is LSA

 LSA-Local Security Authority

There are three components of Windows Security:

1)• LSA (Local Security Authority)

• LSA is the Central Part of NT Security. It is also known as Security
Subsystem. The Local Security Authority or LSA is a key component of
the logon process in both Windows NT and Windows 2000. In Windows
2000, the LSA is responsible for validating users for both local and
remote logons. The LSA also maintains the local security policy.


• During the local logon to a machine, a person enters his name and
password to the logon dialog. This information is passed to the LSA,
which then calls the appropriate authentication package. The password
is sent in a non-reversible secret key format using a one-way hash
function. The LSA then queries the SAM database for the User’s
account information. If the key provided matches the one in the SAM,
the SAM returns the users SID and the SIDs of any groups the user
belongs to. The LSA then uses these SIDs to generate the security
access token.

Fraud Lottery and Money Mails

 

                      Fraud Lottery and Money Mails

 

Nowadays if you can see many people are being cheated and their money is stolen by sending fake and fraud mails and asking for money to get the money. During the Christmas or like this special times the mails increase and will be more.

The mails contain that in online lot or Any company name lot your e-mail id has selected and won a sum of money and reply your name, address etc to send the money but the truth is there is no such a lot and this are send by the hackers and thieves.

If you have participate in any lot then you must call that company not in the number provided in the e-mail but you can search in internet that company name or you know it and confirm it if it is genuine or not then you proceed.

Normally they ask your details then your bank account number and all details then will ask your credit card number etc and they will say it is for sending the money and steal your money from the bank account.

But nowadays they ask money for sending it and they may ask some amount of money for sending it through post or anything like that which you will never get.

Then there are e-mails regarding the property or money which is in South Africa or any country and need foreign person or anyone from another country to get the money and they will say that they will give 50% or more money if you help them to get money.

Finally they will send the money and ask money for getting it or sending through bank account and you will never get any money from them. I read in newspaper a man was fooled like this and they asked some amount of $ 11,208.500 for the key to open the suitcase containing money of $100000 and again they asked money for $10000 the man felt doubt and filed a case and the thieves who came to take the money was caught but the real person was not caught but he lost his money.

So watch out for such e-mails and stay away from them or report such e-mails as spam and delete all spam mails or if you sure then call the company with another number and do not call in the number provided in the mail to confirm it and proceed.

The Facebbok have strong measures to prevent hacking but some applications in Facebook will hack your account and spread viruses to your computer.

Once my friend Gmail account was hacked and they used that Gmail account to send the viruses, adult things and many advertisements to the contacts stored in that Gmail account like this will affect you so badly your friends will think you are sending the unwanted things but the truth is that the hacker is doing it.

Some measures you can do to prevent it is always change your passwords and never inform to others or send as mail or store in any other online sites because it can be founded easily.

Never open spam folder in your Gmail and never read the mail from the undefined sender.

Install a good antivirus which will give you online internet protection for your computers.

Un-install the unwanted cookies and delete the cookies from your computer because it can store your passwords and give it to third persons.

Doing this can somehow manage you to stay away from hacker and stay away from these type of things.

Adsense is a Google product where you can earn money by displaying Adsense ads in your site. For displaying ads you have to create a blog or site or join a site where the Adsense programs are accepted and can display its ads. Then you have to create account from it and if you obey there rules and policies your account will be accepted and you can start displaying ads.

But the problems faced by Adsense users is that they never read the Adsense policies which result in ban on their Adsense account and Adsense is very strict if they ban you once then you cannot participate for the lifetime again.

I cannot explain all the measures to prevent Adsense ban on your account but some general rules and important things I can tell you.

First up of all read all the Adsense policies and check your site or blog follows its policies and obeying it. Then you have to do is never click the ads on your site or the ads displayed by you and never ask anyone to click it.

For getting traffic never put your blog or site in traffic exchange sites or any such sites because Adsense policies does not agree it and result on ban on your account.

Never used copyrighted content or content from another site such as copying pasting in your site and the content in your site must be your own and not copied one from other sites.

Do not use any software or any bots to get traffic and clicks on your ad because Google has good engineers and you will be caught which result in ban on your account.

Try to earn from your potential by getting more traffic to your site and stay loyal and honest to Google. If someone clicked your ads repeatedly for resulting ban on your Adsense account then you can report it to Google.

Google will not ban your Adsense account within 1-2 days when you disobey their policies will take 1-2 weeks time so do not try to check or think that clicking your Ads will result in ban on your account.

Google gives not second chance so try best to avoid ban by reading at least the important policies of Adsense.

PTC Sites a Waste of Time and Money

                     PTC Sites a Waste of Time and Money

Some people may be new to PTC and some are experienced anyway I will tell you what is PTC sites. It is paid to click ads site and everyone who joins such sites will earn money for clicking ads but the earnings are very less and if we invest money most the site tells that we can earn money but the fact you will be earning money at first and later you will be regretting.

Everyday new PTC sites are coming and its all with same format of old one. Some people may have got lots of profit from it and some may have lost money. The PTC site does not last for long and goes within a time of 6-8 months of their launch.

All the PTC sites say you can earn money and you will get payments at first time when you are a free member in their sites. They will be saying and making you more interested in investing money in PTC sites to earn more money but after getting lots of money from the members this site goes down or never pays money.

You can trust a PTC site for first 6-8 months of their launch but do not invest money you will be regretting it later. Even the most trusted PTC sites have gone scam. Onbux was the old and best PTC sites but it is now a scam site and never pays its members. Another old and trusted was neobux and they have suspended and reduced many persons account who have invested money and they have not gone scam but pays less money. They earlier paid $0.01 but now they are paying only $0.001 that means very low for the ad clicks. Neobux changed its payment scheme suddenly without any information and those who complained about it in the Neobux forum their accounts were suspended by neobux.

So no need better examples than the above sites if you are still interested in investing money is PTC sites which is free source to earn money than join such sites and do not invest any money but earn money as a free member and click the ad still they go scam.
