use netstat to find keyloggers and Rats

I havent seen anything cover this before (at least not this way of using netstat) and sometimes people want to know if they are infected by a RAT or something. This mini tutorial should help you out a little bit

PART 1 - Preparing Task Manager

Open Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del). Go to the processes column and click View > Select Columns.



Check the top one (PID (Process Identifier))



Now, organize Task Manager by PID. This will make things easier to read for the next step.



PART 2 - Using Netstat to see Established Connections

Now you want to go into Start > Run > cmd > "netstat -ano". It should look similar to the picture below:



Only look for ESTABLISHED connections (it would be established if its a RAT or malicious), read the PID and crosscheck into Task Manager. Notice in my example that the only established connections use the PID 424. Lets take a look at what that is:



As we can see, its Firefox. Now lets say you notice the PID reads something like "svchost.exe". You should open the file location by right clicking it and pressing Open File Location and either scan it with Virustotal or check to see if in its legit location (if it was in Appdata or Program Files and it is svchost.exe, then you may have a problem).

Hope this helped some of you out and good luck :)

Facebook-sharing-your-phone-numbers-and-address

Facebook is now allowing third-
party apps access to your phone number and address, they
mentioned on their developers'blog. They said they will now be
making this information accessible as part of the User Graph project. What this means is third party applications like
'Farmville' and 'Stalker' will now
be able to access your address and phone number. The way
around this, don't use the app.
Or don't put your phone number and address up if you
do use the app.
http://developers.facebook.com/
blog/post/446
Facebook says that because this is sensitive information to give out, users agree to give
permission to the apps to access their phone number and
address when they first add the application. However, users are most likely going to miss the
words phone number and address in their scurry to get the applications.
Thankfully, only you have control of your contact information
being shared via Facebook. Your friends' careless sharing actions will not release your contact information out to these app
developers.
We're expecting a big hoo-ha about this but what it comes
down to is simple. Don't put any information up on Facebook you're not even in the slightest
bit comfortable getting around.
If Facebook apps are the only way you entertain yourself (I
mean, come on!), but you don't want the makers of these
applications to have your information (consider that you're also using these applications for free and developers are businessmen too), just don't put sensitive
information up on your profile.

why CHROME os may fail?

Will it fail like wave or succeed like chrome?

This is just my opinion about Google’s Chrome OS. There are few reasons which can make chrome OS less impressive. 

Why Chrome OS may fail?

1. Web, Web and web.

Chrome OS is entirely based on web stuff. Though the web has evolved into something unimaginable from what it was few years back, it still has its own problem: The Bandwidth. Not all of us have high-speed broadband connections with unlimited usage. Just think of it : A song weighs 5 MB and you download it every time you want to listen it. Think about Web-designing, Video editing, audio editing etc. Even if there is a web-based solution for these, How effective will it be?

2. Cloud computing.

Chrome OS stores all your data on the cloud (i.e. servers run by Google and other companies). Yes, you can access your data anywhere. However you give them your private stuff, that you would store in your ‘personal’ computer’s hard drive, to them. No, I am not trying to tell that Cloud computing is evil but I am trying to tell that everything cant be stored online. Cloud cannot substitute local storage, it can only complement it.

3. Competition from home.

Chrome OS has a greater enemy: The Android. Android is also developed by Google, is opensource and uses Linux kernel. If you haven’t seen yet, Check the video below.

You will find that it has everything but a pointer. This means that Chrome OS is knocked out from the future. Android is relatively a better “Linux distro” for it is developed from the scratch while Chrome OS is ubuntu based. They tell that Chrome OS is for personal computers, but what is ‘personal computing’ when there is no local storage? Everybody loves better UI and Android has it. Moreover, the name is unique unlike Chrome OS which borrowed its name from Chrome web-browser.

These are the reasons why I don’t find it impressive. Anyway.. I cannot guess about google’s Marketing strategies. 

Why is Chrome OS still a milestone?

It has brought developers towards Linux and the web. Chrome OS caused the revolution that everything is possible with the web. Chrome web-store made web applications available in just a click. It revealed the POWER OF LINUX and opensource. Therefore Chrome OS stands to be a milestone irrespective of its success or failure. Yet Android impresses me.

I will try ANDROID in near future. However I might not try Chrome OS.
