Mininova : Is No More Our Old Mininova Limits To Content Distribution

Its really a sad that Mininova is no more the old mininova in which we can download everything we need . I think it was the best Bit torrent website ever after The pirate bay.

 

From now on, they are limiting Mininova.org to there Content Distribution service. By doing so, they comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.

 

The people behind mininova says that there were no choice left with them so they have to shut down the mininova trackers and also all the registered users have been unregistered or have been moved to Monova.
First was the pirate bay who lost there trackers and fighting for several years in the court.

Now Mininova is down too.

It looks like many bit torrent sites are being held against the crime of distributing content freely. "Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service," the admins wrote.

 

"We are still considering an appeal at this moment," the side administrators stated...

 

 

 

This is what you will see when you will visit the mininova.org now. its all gone the movies, software's, games etc. I will always remember the Mininova even when its gone.
BTW there is still the pirate bay and iso hunt left for mininova . well if you are looking for alternatives to the mininova then here is the list --

 

1. Torrentzap

2. Fenopy

3. ExtraTorrent

4. KickassTorrents

5. BTjunkie

5. Monova

7. isoHunt

8. YourBitTorrent

9. The Pirate Bay

10. ShareReactor

*source Torrent freak

With an impressive 175,820,430 visits and close to a billion page views in the last 30 days, Mininova set a record that they will be unable to break in the near future.

We should all thanks to Mininova for its Help to us.
This is me HTD,
In respect to Mininova.

HOT : Norton Internet Security 2010 Vs Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

Now lets start with Norton suit’s -

 

Norton Internet Security 2010 Commercial

First lets look at the Norton’s Strategies. Norton starts and basically focus on the cyber crime that the people face scams, hacking etc but certainly built a long advertisement with the help of following points…

1. Bank of Nikolai
2. S.O.L.
3. Cyber Hunting
4. Chicken vs. Dokken (Allow)
5. Chicken vs. Dokken (Deny)
6. Caterpillar vs. Kimbo (Allow)
7. Caterpillar vs. Kimbo (Deny)

Its really funny.

 

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 Commercial

Looks like kaspersky is playing a lot these days. I think this commercial was built for more on focusing Virus as dangerous rather than Cyber – Crime as the Norton is focusing onn. But as seeing i feel it more amateur as they made it more of a kiddies commercial.

Also showing there power by showcasing Action Star Jackie Chan and the kaspersky’s Founder Eugene Kaspersky in the commercial.

Which One is Yours Favorite ?

New BIOS Virus Which Can Make Your Anti-Virus Useless

Hackers Have once again launched a Root kit Virus which loads directly into the BIOS memory of the computer and makes it prone .

Well BIOS memory loads first then any of the software or even your OS, So the virus is loaded far more first then the antivirus loads. Hence it is a more harmful attack to the computer rather then an other. 

Alfredo Ortego and Anibal Sacco of Core Security Technologies say that they have a 100 + line long python code in the memory which loads puts a Root kit in the memory so any antivirus can act on it.

"We tested the system on the most common types of Bios," said Ortega.

"There is the possibility that newer types of Extensible Firmware Interface Bios may be resistant to the attack, but more testing is needed."

The attack vector is also usable against virtual systems, the researchers said. The Bios in VMware is embedded as a module in main VMware executable, and thus could be altered.

"The best approach is preventing the virus from flashing onto the Bios," said Sacco.
"You need to prevent flashing of the bios, even if it means pulling out jumper on motherboard."

How To View Hidden Directories In A Website Using Robots.txt

Many a times in hacking you need to know the web directories. But its hard to find it out as a server might contain uncountable no. of Directories in it.
But a major hole in this security is the Robots.txt

What is Robots.txt

Robot.txt is the file in the [ wwwroot ]of a server to define the Bots the Functionality on the website.

There are many Bots on the internet like the most famous are Google Search Engine BOT aka Google Spider , Yahoo Search Engine Bot and many others.
What robots.txt do is that it gives orders to the Bot on how to spider on the website….

Now you may ask what’s the use of Robots.txt file.
Well it is used by webmasters to add functionality to the upcoming bots on there website and also to hide the directories in the website and where the Bot should not go and spider.

Analyzing Robots.txt For Hacking Stuff

Well its really simple, the first question you would ask is Where is robots.txt Located ?
The answer is its in the [ WWWROOT ].

Don't Understand till yet , its in the main Directory.
Lets take the example of Hacker The Dude Website ;)

 

http://www.hackerthedude.blogspot.com/robots.txt

 

Go Ahead and type it in the Address bar of your Browser then what do you see,

 

Do you see that , this is the Robots.txt for the Hacker the dude website Now lets first Analyze this Robots.txt

First Line :-

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google

This means that the above statements are given for the Google Search Engine Bot i.e. Google Spider.

Second Line :-

Disallow:

This mean that nothing is disallowed to the Google Bot, Remember these Orders are given to the Google bot only not other bots.

Third Line :-

User-agent: *

This means that now all the bots coming to the blog will follow these rules.note that previous rules were for only Google Bot.

Fourth Line :-

Disallow: /search

This means that all the bots will not spider the files under the directory /search in the following Blog.

Fifth Line :-

Sitemap: http://hackerthedude.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

This is basically my blogs sitemap. Not very important.

Working Demo

Now lets test Robots.txt files of various well known websites.

1. Mine Favorite = Google !!

LINK

Now you would see some very useful links in it for example, in termas of the hacking its very useful to know more about our Victim.

Allow: /profiles

Disallow: /katrina?

Disallow: /tbproxy/

Hell, Google Knows Katrina Kaif :D

 

Conclusion

Now that you have seen the working demo and the uses and the read the whole article then you would be pretty sure on how we are going to find the vulnerability in a website without even first hacking it.

btw I Love Robos.txt
