In this post I'm going to teach you how to recover wifi password, wait up a sec - not wifi hacking or any
MIM attacks.

If you have already set up your computer to the router and you have typed a password to connect to that router , it means that the passwords you have typed in are stored somewhere in the computer so that every time you open up your computer you don't have to enter wifi password again and again.

If you have ever lost your password or trying to recover wifi password or you want to know your neighbors password (well i don't recommend you doing this) then simply follow the steps below:

Step 1: download wirelesskey view from nirsoft
Step 2: Extract the archive somewhere on the Desktop
Step 3: Double click to up open the application then you are done once the application is running it will start to collect all the data on wifi password from your or your victims computer.

all it takes is a software download to recover your wifi password, so what do you think about your own security and how are you tackling it ? feel free to leave answers on the comments below!!

security measures after jailbreaking your iphone

After jail breaking you allow all the third parties to install and give them a freedom and main thing you forget is that your device is not up to apple anymore. If you really care about security i don't recommend you to jailbreak your device, however in long run jail breaking and finding exploits would lead IOS making more secure.
 To secure up your jailbroken device simply do through the processes/steps below

1. Change root passwords: I would highly recommend doing this , If you have installed open SSH on your devices then it is highly important that you change its default password. Else you have pretty big chance that you are getting hacked!! . The steps and details on changing root/SHH password can be found here>>

2. Repo : It is recommended that you dd sources only  from verified and legal repos , like i already said after jailbreak you leave your device to third party and let them gain freedom , to not happen this   do not add sources from unverified repos and do not install apps from those repos.

3. Third party apps: do not believe apps like apps that claim to update status from notification center and so on they may update status but keep track of you all the time stealing your confidential information.

4. Lockdown app: If you really care for privacy install this app from cydia store itself ,this app locks up apps ,messages and photos not letting any people go thorough your iphone.

How to change SSH password on iphone ?

What is a SSH?
It is a network protocol for secure data communication over insecure networks, It is used for remote command execution , remote shell services and acts as a secure network  between networked machines.

Why is SSH necessary ?
Like I stated before it is used for secure file transfer between devices and mostly when it comes to hacking "remote command execution".

Most of the iphone users who have their iphone jailbroken install open SHH , Ifile and more than 90% of them forget to change their default SSH password. Where the real trouble begins ,Before we get started on how to change SSH password i would like to tell you why changing SSH password is necessary, simply it is because most of the hackers know the default password (which is same on all iOS devices) they use your default password and do sort of port scanning from their machine and use SSH clients to find if your device is vulnerable and  finally gaining access to your iphone stealing all your confidential information like notes, contacts and mainly your private photos. And thats how you are hacked!!

You look WTH now ,dont you ? You probably might want to change as quickly as you can now, Do not worry by following these quick  steps you can  easily change SSH password.

note : this is only for jailbroken iphones for non-jailbroken iphones dont worry you are more safer on the hands of apple.

Step 1: Open up cydia and search for mobile terminal

Step 2: Tap on install

step 3: Tap on confirm

Step 4: wait until the process is complete

Step 5: open up the mobile terminal you just downloaded using cydia.

Step 6: Type in "su root" without quotes

Step 7: Type in "alpine" (alpine is the default password for all idevices using open SHH) in password field then tap return.

Step 8: type in "passwd" and then tap return

Step 9: type in the new password you want to change to

You are done , hope you successfully changed your SSH password, if you are in trouble then let me know in the comments below.

Maintaining privacy online.

Maintaining privacy online is a big challenge today , may websites like facebook, twitter , google advertisement track your interest , location , your activity and much more the know you more than your daddy, when you access internet ? what location are you currently in ? , how much devices you access web from? , what time you wake up? , what are you planning for vacation?, who are you with ?, well thats enough said , well if you really care for privacy you might want to go through rest of my tutorial.

1. Use anonymous proxy : You can use anonymous web proxy websites like www.hidemyass.com , www.atunnel.com  they simply change your ip address to anonymous ips and secure your connection using SSL connections. Anonymous proxies  fake  your original IP address to fake IP address. Now you gain much of anonymity here and good thing is that its a completely free.

2. Dns and proxy settings for web browsers : You can edit proxy settings on your web browsers to remain anonymous online. know how to edit proxy settings on google chrome browser over here.

3. Use of proxy softwares : You can use proxy softwares like security kiss , Tunnel bear , uno telly free , Tor free download. just edit the settings and just a single click will give you instance access to proxy feature.

4. Use of VPN services : Vpn stands for a virtual private network. It is highly secure , whenever you are out of your home and office , you can use VPN services .To use VPN services you can use softwares like hamachi VPN  service (you can download the personal version on the web for free). To use this service you have to install the software on two computers ,one on the home computer that is always ON and other computer the one that you carry with. If you are in coffee shop and your are accessing internet with turned on VPN, all the passwords you enter forms and datas are securely transfered to server, they cannot be sniffed or stolen by using man on the middle attacks like ARP spoofing / poisoning. Basically,  When VPN services are used then it makes act like your travel computer is  using the internet through your home computer rather than router present on the coffee shop you are sitting at.

5. SHH tunnel : secure and trusted networks are not always available , so here i will show you how to keep pop3 , IMAP and passwords safe and prevent them form snarfing.

SHH tunnel is a secure tunneling protocol that creates a secure data travel path within unsecured/untrusted networks.

You dont have to be a hard core unix geek to create a shh tunnel , software made easy - You can download shh tunnel manager and with a click of a button you are good to go the Hell !! secure way!!

How to completely remove traces from your computer?

You might have done things that you think that are private and confidential  on your computer and majority of people think that once it is done is done but it is completely not true. The tasks you carry out  are stored on a temporary memory or on a ram or somewhere on your hard disk. Your browsing history, Played movies, Open applications, deleted fotos are stored for a temporary use on some location. By knowing this you probably might want some hardcore privacy , In this tutorial ill be teaching you some privacy stuffs and get work done without leaving any traces on your computer. Just follow through the rest of the process below.

1. Clean up browsing history: Every website you visit are recorded by your web browser,  It is necessary that you clean   up browsing history to remain least anonymous . You can also use Private browsing feature available in safari , Private browsing does not records any history and cookies from visited websites also you can disable syncing on google chrome to prevent it from tracking you.

2. Clear recent items: To remain untracked you can clear recent items on windows to clear it press "windows +R" then type "recent" without quotes these items are the items that you are using recently, delete all those item of course to remove tracking and also to free up some memory on your computer.

3. Use third party apps : It is ideal that you use third party apps like Ccleaner its my personal best and most recommended that you use it and of course it is completely free , Also you can use softwares like tuneup utilities to clean files and remove up traces. These softwares can delete browsing history of all web browsers, Cookies, Temporary files even used by third party apps like Vlc, Skype and lot more.

4. Formatting:  You might be thinking that formatting a pendrive might permanently delete  the data stored on it then  you are on hugely misguided , actually you can use softwares like recuva to recover your data even from completely formatted pendrive. So when you format a pendrive format your pendrive make sure that you format pendrive not faster but n higher level of security , this feature is available on macosx (industry standard security) but you can use third party softwares on windows like ccleaner.

Note: Privacy apps and security helps you not to get tracked  however nothing is perfect, it depends on a person that how much he cares for his  privacy.
