Sniffing passwords from same network(Lan) using Cain and Abel tool

Image result for Sniffing passwords from same network(Lan) using Cain and Abel tool
First install the tool Cain And Able form here.
Download Cain & Abel from tools section
Step 1:Please turn off the windows firewall or any other third party firewall so that all the packets are captured efficiently.
Step 2:Open Cain and Abel tool
Step 3:Goto -> Sniffer Tab and click Configure in the main menu to configure your packet listening adapter.
Step 4:Select the appropriate network adapter for your network that you want to sniff the packets for plain-text passwords. And Click Ok.
Step 5:Click the Green Adapter icon as shown below. This means that you just configured the adapter and now you are turning it ON.
Step 6:Now select the APR tab below as shown and now first click on the right side upper pane area. When you click that area the blue plus (“+”) icon will get enabled. Press that blue plus (“+”) icon.
Step 7:This is very interesting step. Now we need to select the router`s IP address and click ok. This means that we want to listen to every packet that is sent to router. If we select any other IP address in our LAN network then we can listen to only that particular HOST on the network. Since the router responds to all the request of HOSTS connected in a LAN. Thus we can listen to all the HOSTs.
Step 8:Now click the Yellow Circle icon as shown. This means that we are starting ARP poisoning.
Step 9:We can see that in the upper right panel there is an IP address of our router and when we press that Yellow Circle icon (button), it performs ARP poisoning.
Step 10:Now click the password tab which is at the bottom. We can see that we are getting passwords of HTTP i.e. plain text session in our LAN network.

How to Connect Two Computers Via Crossover Ethernet Cable?

In this tutorial we are going to show you how to transfer data from one computer to another. We need to PC/Laptop and a crossover cable to transfer data. PC 1 Step1: Go to “Open Networking and Sharing Center“. Step2: Click on “Local Area Connection“. Step3: Now click on “Properties“. Step4: Double click on “Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv6)“. Step5: Click on “Use the following IP address:” and enter the IP address: as 192.168.1.1 and just give a click onSubnet mask. Once done click “Ok” and close it.   PC 2 Step1: Go to “Open Networking and Sharing Center“. Step2: Click on “Local Area Connection“. Step3: Now click on “Properties“. Step4: Double click on “Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv6)“. Step5: Click on “Use the following IP address:” and enter the IP address: as 192.168.1.2 and just give a click onSubnet mask. Once done click “Ok” and close it. Now  two computers are connected. To share files we need to give access to our drives, so follow the c

What is Port (computer networking)

In the internet protocol suite, a port is an endpoint of communication in an operating system. While the term is also used for female connectors on hardware devices (see computer port), in software it is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type of network service. A port is always associated with an IP address of a host and the protocol type of the communication, and thus completes the destination or origination network address of a communication session. A port is identified for each address and protocol by a 16-bit number, commonly known as the port number. For example, an address may be 'protocol: TCP, IP address: 1.2.3.4, port number: 80', which may be written 1.2.3.4:80 when the protocol is known from context. Specific port numbers are often used to identify specific services. _________________________

Denial of service (DoS) attack Trojans

These Trojans give the attacker the power to start a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack if there are enough victims. The main idea is that if you have 200 infected ADSL users and you attack the victim simultaneously from each, this will generate HEAVY traffic (more than the victim's bandwidth can carry, in most cases), causing its access to the Internet to shut down. WinTrinoo is a DDoS tool that has recently become very popular; through it, An attacker who has infected many ADSL users can cause major Internet sites to shut down; Early examples of this date back to February 2000, when a number of prominent e-commerce sites such as Amazon, CNN, E*Trade, Yahoo and eBay were attacked. Another variation of a DoS Trojan is the mail-bomb Trojan, where the main aim is to infect as many machines as possible and simultaneously attack specific email address/addresses with random subjects and contents that cannot be filtered. Again, a DoS Trojan is similar to a virus,
