Ok,So now, Today I am going to tell you hoe to hide any type of data behind Image so that no one can know
what is in image.

Technique to hide data in image is called steganography.
Here is the step to do steganography without using any software.

First of all select on file which you want to hide.
Then put that file into one archive file because when you use cmd to do steganography archive file is working well with it.

Now choose image file behind which you want to hide data.

Now open Command Prompt(CMD) then do as follow.

For Ex. : I have an image old.jpg  behind which i want to hide data and a file private.txt which i want to hide.
now I  put private.txt into private.rar .

I run this command-->  copy /B old.jpg + private.rar new.jpg
It will create new.jpg file behind that my private.rar file lie.
Now to see private.rar file just rename new.jpg to new.rar and then doubled click.

Here is the snapshot.
           


I hope you enjoyed it.
Have a nice day.................................................

We all know what is temp files in windows but for those who don't know what is temporary files in windows
here is the brief info.

Windows temporary files are usually left over from previous installation or documents once needed by windows to run certain task.These files can grow large if we don't remove them in short time period.

 For example if we don't remove temporary files within 10-20 days it will grow round about 400MB - 500MB.
It is based on your time of using Pc/laptop.
So, keep habit of removing temporary files in short period of time.

Here is the trick to remove temporary file using some lines of code.

First of all create one text file then copy/paste following code.


del /q /s  "c:\winnt\temp\*.*"
del /q /s  "c:\windows\temp\*.*"
del /q /s  "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\*.*"
del /q /s  "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"
del /q /s  "%USERPROFILE%\Cookies\*.*"


Rmdir /q /s  "c:\winnt\Temp"
Rmdir /q /s  "c:\windows\Temp"
Rmdir /q /s  "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp"
Rmdir /q /s  "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
Rmdir /q /s  "%USERPROFILE%\Cookies\*.*"

md  "c:\winnt\Temp"
md  "c:\windows\temp"
md  "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp"
md  "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
md  "%USERPROFILE%\Cookies"



Now save this file as a .bat extension.
That's it.


Now whenever you want to delete temporary files just run above file.


Explanation:

In code first five lines remove all file from particular folder.
Second five lines remove particular directory.
Last five lines create directories that were earlier removed.


If you have any problem then comment it.
Have a nice day..................

Most of us download trustable antivirus but we don't know that antivirus is in working condition or not.

There is  one group called EICAR (European Expert Group For IT Security) made our work easy for testing antivirus working or not.

Just copy and paste below line into one blank text file.

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* 

And save file as a .txt extension.

If your antivirus has real time protection then pop up coming that virus detected and it will say that this is EICAR test file.Otherwise manually check by right clicking on file.

More info on EICAR on this link..

Have a nice day.................

Ok , friends.

Now-a-days Copy right is important in internet world.Although there is copyleft software also.

However , If you are successful to find copyright folder locker then it may be trial version or you have to purchase it..However you can also download that software full using torrent,or you can find crack of that
software.

To get rid of this problem here is the trick to make your own folder locker using God mode in Windows.

If you don't know what is god mode in windows then here is the link.

First of all make one text file and copy & paste below code.
cls

@ECHO OFF

title Folder Private

if EXIST "lock.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} " goto UNLOCK

if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private "lock.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} "
attrib +h +s "lock.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} "
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==yourpassword goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "lock.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} "
ren "lock.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} " Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End
Now save file as .bat extension.
Run that file it will create folder named "Private".Now copy/paste your private data in that folder.
Then again run that file .. It will confirm that you want to lock folder or not.

Now when you want to unlock that folder, run that file again in the same folder where your "Private" folder lies.It will ask password to unlock folder.Enter password "yourpassword" without double quote . You can also change password by editing upward file.

I wish you like it ......................

Today I am going to tell you one interesting fact about windows.

Do You know you can't make folder named "con" ?
You can try now.

Why it is so?

 Because In windows special device files are available to aid in certain tasks such as clearing screen etc.in order to maintain this version of windows up to 7 are refused to create folder/file with these reserved device name.

"CON" is one of them.CON incidentally is device file used to capture whatever printed on screen .
There are following reserved keywords.
CON , PRN , AUX , NUL etc.

So here is the trick to create folder named "con".

1. Create Folder.

2.Named it "con"  Don't press enter.

3.Now after writing "con" press "ALT+255".
       NOTE: To write "255" make sure you are using numpad .Function keys are not working in this   trick.
4.Then press ENTER.

It's Created!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proof of it.

I wish you enjoyed this....................

So now what is "God mode" in windows?

Well, for starters, it's not really a mode.It is one type of secret feature of windows.

Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden "God Mode" feature that lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder.

To make this folder just make "new folder" give it any name and then after name add "." and
{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Ex.-->Anyname.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
It is given in following image 

After going into that folder you will see all kinds of controls.

There are also some another folder Listed below which I found till now.
 For "Home Group"
{67CA7650-96E6-4FDD-BB43-A8E774F73A57}

"Library"
{896664F7-12E1-490f-8782-C0835AFD98FC}

"Search Result"
{9343812e-1c37-4a49-a12e-4b2d810d956b}

"Recycle Bin"
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

"Don't want to open folder "
{1531d583-8375-4d3f-b5fb-d23bbd169f22}

Speech Recognition
{58E3C745-D971-4081-9034-86E34B30836A}

You can also use this folder to lock your private folder by putting your content into your private folder then rename to upward listed folder which u want.

NOTE: It may be different for different operating system but you can find above code for your os from registry .
