Hacking Manual

1. Always Use Protection: Prevent spyware from being installed on your computer by using programs such as Spybot, Spyware Blaster, and Advanced Windows Care 2 to immunize your computer from already known threats. Remember to update and immunize often. Free powerful Virus Protection can be obtained by using Avira Personal and Spyware Doctor Starter edition. Remember you can never have enough protection.

2. Turn off File sharing: Unless you purposely want to share your files or printers with others on the network, turn this feature off. I recommend shutting this feature off when you use your computer in a public area.

3. Remove Spyware: Schedule a daily scan with Spyware Doctor (Free with google pack) Set it to automatically update.

4. Use Firefox: I have noticed with other browsers that Active X infections happen a lot. Firefox is more secure.

5. Enable and configure your Firewall:

6. Disable Hidden Accounts: If you’re still using XP make sure the administrator account is disabled

7. Create and use a Strong password for each account: Rainbow tables have made it simple to crack passwords. So protect your self by using a strong password. Create passwords that are between 8-14 characters. Use a combination of Uppercase, Lowercase, Numbers and Symbols. Here is an example NycDjM1xM@$t3r

8. Secure your wireless Network:

9. Encrypt private data

10. Scan Incoming Files: If you use Limewire or a Bit torrent to download files, Scan all files before you open them. If the file is a ZIP, RAR or any other compressed format make sure to unzip the contents before scanning. These files are known as packed and sometimes can’t be detected until unpacked. Simply right click on the folder and scan.

1.Content is key. Create lots of high quality unique content. Never copy someone else’s content. Search engines look for duplicate content and remove it from their database. Give your readers a reason to come back. Make your content stand out from other websites. Also provide updated content. Users don’t want to read an article from 2 years ago and neither do search engines.

2. Provide Meta Data. Meta data is how a search engine knows what you want it to display after a search. The title of the page, a summary, keywords, and the authors email address. Also avoid using the same meta data for every page on your website. If you do that the content you have on your website won’t really matter. Each page should have unique meta data.

3. Create Viral Videos. Viral videos are videos that are extremely funny and get shared with friends and family on websites like Youtube. Promote your website by adding your domain at the end of the video.

4. Defend against copyright infringement. When another person steals content from your website, search engines see your site as having duplicate content. You can monitor duplicate content with copyscape.com

5. Submit your website to search engines. You only need to submit your website once. Don’t Harass the search engines or they will remove you. Also create a site map for Google. Don’t feel like submitting to search engines one by one? There are plenty of free search engine submission services that will submit your site to hundreds of search engines for free.

6. Use Facebook. Add your link to your profile. Create a group for your website. Create a business profile for your website. Create an application, applications are now the interactive way to advertise. You can also apply these methods to Myspace, Yuwie, Live Journal, Vampire Freaks and all of the other millions of social networking sites out there.

7. Advertise. Use Google and AdBrite to advertise your website on the internet.

8. Easy Navigation. Make your website easy to navigate so that users can find their way around. This will result in users staying on your website long and coming back more often.

9. Buy your own domain name and web hosting. This equals more traffic. You will be able to customize everything. Also if you decide you want to sell your website you will be able to without a problem.

10.Get High Quality Incoming Links. The more relevant high quality websites that link to yours the higher the search engines will rank you. Don’t participate in link schemes, or link builders and don’t spam. The surefire way to get incoming links is to create great content and others will link you.

For those of you who were disappointed with Vista, there is hope. Microsoft is creating a new operating system called Windows 7. This version of Windows was originally codenamed BlackComb/Vienna. So when is it coming out? The original release date for Windows 7 was expected in 2010 although there are rumors that it could be out as early as 2009. Little is known about Windows 7 because Microsoft is keeping a secret. Hopefully we won’t be disappointed.

Integrated with live services using windows 7 will mean when you use a public computer, your Files, homepage and favorites will follow you around. Imagine a school without textbooks. Instead every student will be able to use a tablet PC to read all of their books.

As you may already know the administrator is a built in account in Windows that is hidden and has no password set by default. To bring it out of hiding follow these steps:

Click Start
Click Run
Type REGEDIT into the run box

Local Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/Winlogon/Special Accounts/User List

Create a new DWORD Value
Name it Administrator
Give it a value of 1

Now go into the control panel and set a password for this account. Now you should see Administrator in the Users section of the control panel as well as when you log on.
