It’s easy to forget, and now its easy to remind also. Google has now enabled password recovery through SMS service, which make sure that only you can access your account. So if you forget your password, you can reset it using a recovery code which Google send in a text message to your mobile phone.

According to Google, following mobile carriers supports account recovery via SMS in India.

If you lose access to your account for any reason, you’ll be able to regain access by entering a code Google send in a text message.

To send yourself a recovery code via SMS, enter your username on the password-assistance page. After completing the word verification, you’ll receive confirmation that Google has sent a code to your phone. Keep this page open so you can get to the page where you enter your code. Check your phone for a text message from Google. Enter your recovery code and click Submit recovery code. Type your new password. And now your new password is in effect.

How to get rid of Captcha on Orkut – When Posting an image

As we know orkut does not allow us to post images to anyone but our friends .Even if we post an image to our friend we have to go through the annoying captcha (captcha is a spam remover technique in which you have to type the distorted words from an image) .Captcha really gets on our nerve when we are posting image Greetings on New year or Christmas .Well these problems are of course not very awesome .Considering Orkut is one of the leading Social networking sites in the world .

Well on to the image business .Orkut does not display image on any community threads or non friend scraps. And there is an idea to get pass this .There are “non animated really not cool” Smileys in orkut which will appear when we type [:D] ,[:X],[:)] and so on .But most of the Orkut users are not satisfied with this .

The first thing the orkut checks when we input an image link is , That the link is a honest one or not .The honest links are those links which are provided from google services.For example if we add an embed code from myspace videos to a community thread , nothing will happen but when it comes to youtube the video will pop up because the youtube is a google service.So we need to find image hosting service of google (images from blogger ie. the links starts with 4.bp.blog…. is not a honest link – I don’t know why!).

Google’s Picture hosting site is http://picasaweb.google.com .Anything we upload on Picasa will appear on your friend’s scrap book with out asking you for Captcha .And it will appear on any community or a non friend’s Scrapbook with captcha . So if you see a nice looking Image on any site (it has to be a picture file like .gif .jpg .png .bmp etc “|.swf won’t do“)

Do the following

1. Login to Picasa with your google account -create an account if you don’t have one already .note: if you have a blog you can see your uploaded pictures to blogger there! .
2. Download your favorite smiley set on to yourcomputer .
3. Click upload on picasa select a album or create one .
4. Upload the Smiley to picasa .
5. Click the album which contains your Image.
6. Click on smiley.
7. After its completely loaded Right click on it ->Copy link location (or address).
8. Now post it on your friends Scrapbook ….. See no captcha!!!!

You can also upload your New year wishes picture on it and use some Scarp all software to send the greetings to all of your friends.

Google adsense for your wordpress theme (Part 1)

In this tutorial you are going to learn how to tweak your wordpress theme and place google adsense ads or ads from any other network in your wordpress blog.

Best positions to place ads:

If you have a three column template the best positions for adsense ads would be a 160*600 banner in the sidebar , a 160*90 linked unit above the 160*600 banner and large rectangle or 468* 60 ad unit just after the title of your post and at the end of your post.

If you have a 2 column template the best positions are a square linked unit in the side bar and a large rectangle or 468*60 ad unit just after the title of your post and at the end of your post. If your theme is wide enough to accommodate a 768*90 ad then use it before and after your post.

How to choose the colours of your Google ads:

Try to match the Google ads with the content of your site. Set the title color of your ad as the title colour, text colour as the color of your content and link color as the links in your content. Have the background and border same as your theme background.

A small tip on getting the exact colour codes:

Take a screen shot of your blog (Use print screen key on your keyboard) and open photo shop, select new press ctr+v and then use the color picker to get the exact colour codes



Let’s go on with the actual part:

First decide how many types (linked unit, large rectangle, lead board etc) of ads you want to display.

For Example if you decide to place the following ad units in your wordpress blog

· Horizontal linked ad unit

· 468*60 ad unit and

· 460*60 referral unit

Open notepad, paste the adsense code for horizontal linked unit in note pad and save it as horilinked.inc

Note: Don’t forget to select all types when saving the file in windows.

Repeat the above step for all the ad units and upload those files to wp-content>themes>XXXX

(In case your theme name is XXXX)

SQL Injection : Ultimate method for Website Hacking.

SQL Injection basically means to execute a query in the database which is connected to the website to get personal information out of it, which is not visible to a normal user. Database is most likely to be a part of the websites, which saves all the information like user names, passwords, posts, replies in it. So there is a possibility that you might put some commands or queries or requests whatever you want to call it into the database to get some hidden information out of it.

It is noticed that in the past SQL Injection have been used several times to steal the credit card information, E-mail address and passwords, because most of the users have same E-mail address and passwords into all of their E-mail accounts. So if you manage to hack one of the accounts, you may just get access to all of their accounts. SQL Injection is most likely used by the “Penetration Testers” to check if the website of their clients are vulnerable to some kind of attacks to steal the information. Here, in this article I will show you how do they do it. There are some simple terms expected out of you and one of them is that you understand the basic knowledge of the computer. This tutorial will let you know, how to start? where to stop? what to do?

1. How to check if the website is vulnerable to SQL Injection?
A: On most of the website i read people saying that try to add “`” at the end [without quotes], and if you get some error that means that the website is vulnerable to SQL Injection. But being an experienced guy in the penetration, i’d rather tell you that this is a TOTAL MYTH. The best way to check the site vulnerability is to add “+order+by+6753″ at the end of the URL. Because, 97% of the websites don’t have more then 6753. columns. So by adding 6753 number, you will check if it has 6753 columns, which it apperatenly doesn’t have. So it will give you an error, and if it does that means that the WEBSITE IS VULNERABLE. It is generally noticed that a website doesn’t have more than 100 columns at the most in its database. So by entering the number 6753, you are trying to make it sure if the website gives you an error with it. IF it does that means you can proceed further. To check an SQL Injection, its mandatory that the website should be pointing it self to some specific page, i.e. “website.com/index.php?page=11″. So in this case the website is pointing it self to page Number.11 to pull up some specific information. So, to check if the website is vulnerable or not, you can try with the following URL. i.e. “website.com/index.php?page=11+order+by+6753″.

2. How would i find the vulnerable websites?
A.: Google is the best friend of Hackers, when I say this don’t assume that i am just writing it because i am supposed it. I really mean it. There is something called as “google dorks”, which are basically a command which could be put into the Google search to find out specific groups of pages.
here are some Google dorks which you may try to find out the vulnerable websites.
a. inurl:index.php?page=
b. inurl:members.php?member=
c. inurl:index.php?id=
d. inurl:articles.php?page=

This will help you to find out the websites which are connected and working with SQL Databases at the backend. Some of them might be vulnerable to SQL Injection. So you can try to put “order+by+6753″ at the end of the URL to check if its vulnerable.

Display Legal Notice on Startup of your Windows

If your PC has multiple users then you can now display legal notice to every user before they login to your PC. This legal notice will be displayed at every startup just before the Desktop is loaded. Using this you can tell your friends about the do’s and dont’s in your computer when they login in your absence. Well you can do this pretty easily. For this there is one small registry hack. Here is the step-by-step instruction to do this.

1. Go to Start->Run, type regedit and hit ENTER

2. Navigate to the following key in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

On the right side pane look for “legalnoticecaption“, double click on it and enter the desired Legal Notice Caption. Next below this look for “legalnoticetext” and enter the desired Legal Notice Text. The legal notice text can be up to a page in it’s size so that it can include a set of do’s and dont’s for your computer. After you do this just restart your computer and upon the next startup you can see the legal notice information for your computer. This trick works on both XP and Vista. You can also try it on Windows 7 and should work with no problems.
