However, this leaves a hole in our defence against potential online threats. These passwords, which are not that strong, can be hacked sometimes by experts of this dubious art. These masters know the weaknesses of people to create passwords with birthdays, own names, spouse or children names, zip codes and so on.

So today I am going to teach you an incredibly useful skill to make your Passwords Hack Proof.

Things that make a good password:

1. Easy To Remember.
   No use having the thing if you can’t even remember it.
2. Long Long Long!
   If it is not long, people will be able to Brute Force it.
3. Combinations of Numbers, Letters, Symbols.
   Again due to brute forcing.
4. Difficult to guess.
   If you make it your wife’s name. People are going to get it.
5. Unique
   Every site should have a different password.

Now I have a real quick and easy method for making passwords that solve all of those problems. Furthermore these passwords will be drunk proof. In other words, no one will be able to accidentally trick you into telling them yoru password.

How to make the password:

1. What is the name of the Website?
   Hungry Hackers.
2. Write the name of the website backwards.
   srekcaH yrgnuH
3. Perfoms a Rotate 13 on the string. (This means to change the letter 13 places ahead. a becomes n, r becomes e, etc.)
   ferxpnU letahU
4. Replace all of the letters with 1337 counterparts.
   f3rxp/\/|_| 13tah|_|
5. Interleave your username into it.
   fZ3erlxlpf/a\z/e|@_y|a h1o3ot.acho|m_|

Easy for you to figure out your password. You simply repeat the 5 steps for a website. There is no way anyone is ever going to guess that password. And further more, there is no way your going to tell someone your password because even you don’t know what it is off the top of your head.

This formula could very easily be made more complicated or simplier. Once you have the general idea of what your doing you can make good passwords in no time.

Theef is a Windows based application for both the client and server end. The Theef server is a virus that you install on your victims computer, and the Theef client in what you then use to control the virus. The biggest problem with using Theef is that most Anti-Virus programs will pick it up. But with a little bit of social engineering you can generally get people to turn off their AV for you.

Before we begin you need to get a copy of Theef. I have uploaded a copy to Rapid Share here: http://rapidshare.com/files/310301581/theef.zip . If that link does not work, I have posted several others in the forums here

So lets begin. First of all you need a target. This should be relatively easy to find, as I would imagine that the large portion of you reading this article already have someone in mind that you want to hack. If not, feel free to grab a second computer just so you can try this stuff out. For the purpose of this tutorial our victim is named Bob. And we are going to pretend that we are giving him an installer for a game called Awesome Game.

Now you need to convince your victim to turn off their Anti-Virus if they have any. This is because Anti-Virus programs will generally pick up Theef as a virus and delete it. Convincing someone to turn off their Anti-Virus is not often a difficult task, most of the time you can just tell them something along the lines of, &quote;Your Anti-Virus says Awesome Game is a virus, but it isn’t so don’t worry about it.&quote; People are gullible, they want to believe you will cause them no harm, they want to trust you. Use this to your advantage.

The next thing we have to do is configure the program. This is an easy task to do. And to make it easier I will walk you through it using screen shots to help showcase the items you might want to change.

First make a copy of the Theef server. The Theef server is named Server210.exe. Name your copy of the server awesomegame.exe.

Screenshot showing awesomegame.exe is a copy of Server210.exe

Now that we have a copy to work on we need to open up the editor. The server editor is named Editserver210.exe. Once it is opened you should be presented with a window that looks like this:

Screenshot of Theef Server Editor without a server loaded.

From here we need to open up our server for editing using the Load button. Once the server is loaded some values our to be filled into the boxes. The values on the first page can be left alone. In the forums I will be putting up a detailed list of what every option does, but for this tutorial we will only focus on what is needed to give Bob a virus.

To make it look plausible that Awesome Game is indeed a game and not a virus we need to setup a false error message. To do this click Setup->False Error. On this screen check the box to enable false errors, then fill in the Input box labeled text with the following “The installer failed to run!” Your screen should look like this.

Now the server is ready to be saved and sent. Click the Save button to save the server configuration. The status bar should now say “Finished writing new server settings.” You may now close out of the server editor.

The next step is generally the hardest. You need to send the virus (in our case awesomegame.exe) to your victim and get them to run it. Now for the purposes of our tutorial we have decided to send Bob a “game” by the name of Awesome Game. Little does Bob know that Awesome Game is not a game, but our virus. We have sent Bob Awesome Game using Windows Live Messenger. If your victim is running Vista (like Bob is) then you will need to have them run the virus using Admin privileges.

Now that you have given them the virus the real fun can begin. From here we do everything in the Theef Client. This is the program that you use to control the virus. It is named Client210.exe. You should open it at this point.

Screenshot of Theef Client before connecting to a server.

You will need to get your victims IP address at this point so that you can connect to their computer. This is an easy task to do, and there are numerous ways to accomplish it. For our example we have convinced Bob to go to http://privax.us/ip-test/ and read his IP Address off to us from that page. We could also have gotten him to run ip-config or done any number of other things. If you have no idea what an IP Address is, just direct them to Privax’s IP Test and get them to send you their IP address off the page.

Using one of the aforementioned methods I have determined that Bob’s IP Address is 127.0.0.1 (please note your victim’s IP Address will differ from the address I have used in this example).

I now enter that into the IP input box on the Theef client and press Connect. If you have the correct address and they have run the virus you should see something similar to the following show up in the log box:

[15:56:44] Attempting connection with 127.0.0.1
[15:56:44] Connection established with 127.0.0.1
[15:56:44] Connection accepted
[15:56:44] Connected to transfer port

If you don’t have their IP Address correct or they have not run the virus you will see this instead:

[15:57:37] Attempting connection with 127.0.0.1
[15:57:58] Connection failed (Error: 10060)

Now that we are connected we can start to take do stuff. There are numerous features in Theef so I will only cover a small number of them here. I will likely cover more in the forums as time goes on. Also note that not all features of Theef work, and fewer features will work in Vista than in XP.

One of the most useful features of Theef is the key-logger, which is available under the Spy menu. Upon selecting it a key-logger window will open up as shown.

Screenshot of Theef Keylogger before it logs any keys.

After you click the Start button on this window you will begin to see everything that they type on their computer. This is very useful as it shows you ever password they enter. It is a one stop shop to getting their passwords to everything and things such as their bank account numbers, etc.

There are other features in Theef that can be used for just screwing with people as well. Underneath of the Control Menu there is a button labeled Power. If you click that you will notice an Open/Close CD-ROM Drive button. Most people freak out if their CD-ROM Drive randomly opens and closes without them doing anything.

So this concludes my brief tutorial on how to use Theef. There is a lot more in this program that I covered here, but this should give you the basics on how to get started. Below I have posted two videos showing many more things that Theef can do. If you play these videos at the same time you can see how the client controls the server.

Hello Hungry Hackers. My name is Zell Faze, and I have been recently taken on as a writer for Hungry Hackers. Before I write any articles about hacking, I want to take a few minutes of your day to tell you a bit about myself. I think you always ought to know a bit about your mentor.

As stated previously my name is Zell Faze. I am a male living in the United States. My time zone is EST ( GMT -5 ). I am fairly active in the Hungry Hackers forums, and I highly encourage their use. It really is a great tool for communicating with myself, Amol, and Ashik.

I am currently a student, but that does not mean that I know more, or I know less than an expert. I consider myself an expert in my field. There is though, always more to learn.

On Hungry Hackers I will no longer be a student, but instead take on the role of mentor. I say mentor for a reason, it is my opinion that I shouldn’t teach you hacking, but rather guide you in the right direction and let you learn on your own what works and doesn’t.

With that in mind many of the articles I will be writing are purely conceptual in nature. For those that like practical things, Ashik has asked me to make sure I include something practical in every article. I will try my best to abide by Ashik’s instructions.

One thing you should know about commenting on my articles, and talking to me on the forums, is that I may often seem like a jerk. This is because I do have some rules that I will require you to follow if you talk to me.

• Do NoT SpEaK lIkE tHiS
• Do not use 1337
• Use proper grammar and spelling when possible. ( I understand a misspelled word or two but don’t make it horrid )
• Don’t use plz and thx. Write the whole word out.
• Be kind and respectful.
• Be curious and ask lots of good questions.
• Don’t be a waste of time.

Please note that these rules are not official on the forums. Official forum rules may be found here.

These rules are not really for my sake as much as your own. I try to create a professional environment where we can speak and exchange information freely. Not following these rules makes you hard to understand, which makes it hard on me to answer your question. It also makes it harder for others to find your question and my answer.

There is a brief reminder of my rules within my Forum Sig.

In hacking there are several philosphies by which I live. Many will be outlined in my next article, but there is one that I feel I must share now.

“You don’t learn to hack, you hack to learn.”

This philosophy will often be the basis on which I decide whether or not to answer a question.
