Hacking Tricks

Wednesday, 3 August 2011

Android v/s Windows Mobile 7 v/s iPhone v/s Blackberry v/s Nokia


Android
  
   

  • Open platform.
  • Can compile custom firmwares - good for hackers and other.
  • Good framework, extended on each new firmware.
  • Supports multitasking. 
  • Nice IDE - Eclipse, NetBeans.
  • Development SDK is free.  
  • Easy to debug, can send logs to developers.
  • Programming language is Java but bridges from other languages exist (C# .net - Mono, etc)
  • Java is a high level language that appeared in 1995. Android supports Java 1.5 and translates the byte code to its own custom Dalvik byte code optimized for mobile devices.
  • For the hardcore programmers, Android offers the possibility of programming in C using the native dev kit NDK.
  • Can run script languages like LUA, Perl, Python, etc.
  • Can install third party applications from sdcard, random sites - not locked to a specific market.
  • Applications can hook and override everything - email interface, SMS sending, custom keyboards, etc.
  • Supports widgets.
  • Can publish applications on the Android market instantly - initial one time registration fee is 25E.
  • User has access to the sdcard and can use it as a USB disk.
  • No Adobe Flash support yet. Probably will be available in Q2 of this year.  


Windows Mobile 7


                   


  • Closed platform. 
  • MS breaks compatibility with WM 6.x - this is very bad.
  • Programming environment is Silverlight and XNA.
  • No native programming ie no hooking and overriding keyboard, etc - they removed PInvoke.   
  • Nice IDE - Visual Studio 2010.
  • Does not support multitasking for third party applications.
  • Third party applications can only be installed from the MS marketplace.
  • No Adobe Flash support.


iOS (iPhone)



        


  • Closed platform.
  • No multitasking except for some Apple applications. Multitasking is probably going to be introduced in the next vertion of the iPhone, the iPhone 4.
  • Development kit costs ~90E.
  • Programming language is Objective C - but bridges exist from Java, C#, etc.
  • Objective C appeared in 1986.
  • Next version of iPhone is supposed to only allow Objective C code, this means the bridges are out and you must program in Objective C if you want to create an iPhone application.
  • Applications are not allowed to duplicate the iPhone functionality - ie no custom email interface, etc.
  • Does not support widgets - unless the phone is jail broken.
  • User does not have access to the sdcard - user can only do synchronization via internet or LAN.  
  • Third party applications can only be installed from the Apple store. For testing the applications, developers can use Ad Hoc publishing.   
  • Publishing on the store is a very lengthy and tiresome process. Apple has many and bizarre rules. Many applications were rejected for strange reasons.
  • No Adobe Flash support.



BlackBerry OS



           


  • As it is now, the programming environment is Java native and J2ME - not worth mentioning since they will probably be extinct pretty soon.
  • No Adobe Flash support yet. Probably will be available in Q2 of this year.  
  • We expect a new OS so we will just have to sit patiently and see what's going to happen.



Symbian (Nokia)



      

  • Opened Symbian and says the future will be QT and WRT - they will cut support to any other environment including J2ME.
  • QT is a framework that adds a layer of abstraction over gui, network, gps, etc.
  • QT is cross platform and cross programming language - C++, C#, Java, etc. the licenses are GPL and LGPL.
  • QT runs on Maemo, MeeGo, BlackBerry, Symbian, Android, iPhone, Windows Mobile, desktop PC, consumer electronics, car entertainment, etc.
  • WRT - web runtime - a cool feature that allows users to write applications in HTML, JS and CS. You build the app like a normal web page, and you interact with the phone platform/hardware using the WRT bridge.
    No need to learn any other technology. Just HTML, JS and CS. Very important: JS can call native code, but also the other way around. It seems you can call WRT JS with native code.
  • Supports widgets.
  • Supports Adobe Flash Lite.

How to get back your Hacked GMail, Orkut, Google Account



            




This is my official reply to all mails/comments/scraps asking me how to get back hacked Gmail/Orkut/Google Account. Everyone should read this no matter how safe you think you are! 
As Google Account is a single account used across all Googles services like Gmail, Google+, Orkut, Blogger, Adsense, Checkout. etc, it can turn out to be our worst nightmare if it gets hacked!


Like many other online services Google tries to protect your account with secret question as well as optional secondary email address. But there is one more official option which only Google Provides!

Now lets go step-by-step…

1) Note Down the Verification Code
Whenever any account is registered with GOOGLE, it gives some confirmation messages and provide you a verification ID. Note down that verification id . If you are having that, recovering your account is just easy as burning a match stick.

2) Trying "Forget Password" option
 I know this will not work in most cases, as options like forget password rely on secondary email address and security question, both of which can be easily changed once a account gets hacked. Still you should try atleast once as most password gets hacked by script kiddies and not by real hackers.
So go to Forget Password form first!

3) What if "Forget Password" option FAILS
 You can submit a form to Google in which you can provide details about your Google Account usage.
Details include information which most likely only real owner can provide. Here are few things for example…
  • Last successful login date
  • Account creation date
  • Google products you used with this account and the date you started using each one
  • Details about Orkut account (if you use Orkut)
  • Details about Blogger account (if you use Blogger)
Now most important part is what they quoted on the form,
“Please answer each question as thoroughly and accurately as possible. If you’re not certain about some of the information, provide your closest estimate. Whether or not we can return your account depends on the strength and accuracy of your responses.”

So I will suggest following things…
  • Your goal should be to give Google maximum & accurate data! So take your time and submit form with maximum amount of information possible. You can consult your trusted friends if you are not sure. As an example it could be Sam or Bob who invited you on orkut. If you are not sure call them up and ask it!
  • Submit only one form! Yes this should be common sense. Do not submit multiple forms. A person who uses around 10-15 Google products asked me if he can submit multiple forms mentioning different Google products.
  • Submit form from the place which you use most often to access your account like PC at home! Although they haven’t mentioned this explicitly, line above submit button says, “Please note that we need your IP address in order to resolve this issue. Your IP address will be captured automatically when you submit this form.”
Finally Contact Form is here!!!

I advise everyone to have a look at this form and information it asks. You can prepare a document about secret info, may be in cell phone or pen down it on a paper. This will come handy if something goes wrong in future! 
I guess I have offered my best possible help on the issue. It may or may not work but thats all I can do.
If you don’t remember any detail required in the form or you just don’t get any reply from Google after submitting the form, please create a new account. There is no other option. Sorry.


Thanks,
Parag

How to Download movies using Torrent


In this tutorial, we’ll see how to download movies using torrent. I know this is very common and widespread, known to many. So the following post is for them who lack with the knowledge of downloading movies from Internet.

I’ll also explain you how to get good downloading speed and how to select a particular torrent file.

Not only movies, there are many things you can download with torrents viz. games, software, applications, ebooks, music, TV shows, etc.



You have to do 3 things:-

1) Download torrent software and install.
2) Search for the movie torrent, download its torrent file.
3) Run the torrent and browse the location, where you want to save the downloading file on your Hard disk (PC).


1) Download torrent software

 ♦ There are many torrent softwares, available over the Internet.  You have a choice, but I recommend to download one of these,


♦ After downloading the software, install it.


2) Search for movie torrent file

 ♦ For searching for a torrent file, you need a torrent search engine. Some recommended torrent search engines:


♦ After searching for a particular movie, it’s time to download its torrent file.

♦ There could appear many torrents available that matches your search. You have to choose one appropriate torrent according to its size, health (speed), pixels (clarity), etc.

♦ Always select that torrent that has maximum no. of Seeding. If it lack in seeds, the downloading speed would be less. Hence for gaining max speed, select torrents that have at least 50 seeds.


3) Run the torrent

♦ Open the .torrent file into your torrent software. Usually, this is as simple as double-click on the .torrent file and the client software auto-launches it.

♦ Now the torrent software would show you, what are the files included in that torrent.

♦ You would be asked the location, where to store the downloading file on your computer.

♦ After clicking on OK, the downloading would start and as the downloading reaches to 100%, just remove the torrent by right-clicking.

Congratulations, you have downloaded your movie. Enjoy it with your family and friends with a bowl of POPCORN.

Thanks,
Parag

HTC EVO 3D Review


Introduction

The HTC EVO 4G is building its way to the top of the Sprint’s lineup, enduring to be a prominent handset even to this day, however more important, it has  been one of  the evolutionary gadget that has created an impact over the market on its release in June, 2010.


     HTC EVO 3D


Sprint’s HTC EVO 3D is the true descendant of the wildly popular HTC EVO 4G, that has launched last year.

In the month of March at CTIA, the device was initially announced with its release date premeditated in summer. But the release date has been postponed to 24th, June.  As the name suggests, the handset consist of the two rear 5MP cameras, which allows for the creation of the 3D content and the display of the handset would be capable to deliver glasses-free 3D viewing. The HTC EVO 3D will join Sprint’s family of WiMax 4G handsets.


Awards

         

The HTC EVO 3D was awarded as the Best Smartphone Award at CTIA 2011 because of its deep feature set and its rich software experience.



Design

So here’s another Android powered HTC phone. It’s constructed out of plastic with a thinner body (0.47 inch) and this feels less bulky while holding in hands. Its soft touch matte rear provides a rigid pattern that provides an adequate grip when held. But it’s not attractive and sexy looking compared to handsets like the HTC Sensation 4G and Inspire 4G.

        HTC EVO 3D Review     HTC EVO 3D Review


 Compare the HTC EVO 3D with other phone for size visualization


The HTC EVO 3D is coming with a 4.3 inch qHD display – same as the HTC EVO 4G but with the higher resolution and the display can handle the 3D content (glasses free).


About the processor, the EVO 3D consists of 1.2 Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor, making it Sprint’s first WiMax handset with a dual core processor.

If someone has worked out with the 3D display on the Nintendo 3DS, then it’s easy to comprehend how to work the 3D display of the HTC EVO 3D. In order to experience the 3D effect contently, the display has to be viewed at 90-degree level and wait for few seconds and adjust your eyes. And eventually, this works, but you’re required to keep your hand steady because shivering hands may cause shimmering effects.
