Microsoft Security Essentials - Latest 32/64 bit Installation  guidelines:- Below are updated instructions for MSE installation for 32 bit or 64 bit versions of Windows: 1. Uninstall any previous Anti-virus products (esp. the 60 day trial  AV products that may have come with your system) 2. Reboot your system to ensure a clean start 3. Go the WINDOWS UPDATE site to install all updates for improved protection. There is a Malicious Software Removal Tool which will clean up major virus or spyware infections that could be present on your system. http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us 4. PREREQUISITES: You must be on latest service packs for your Operating System  (SP3 for XP). Also in order to download MSE, your system must be WGA compliant.   At this site Click on VALIDATE BUTTON to ensure your system is WGA compliant if you have not done this in the past or are working with a new or newly built PC: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/ 5. Then visit Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) site and click DOWNLOAD Button. There is also an Installation Video to guide in this process you can watch 1st if desired using Media Player http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ 6. MANUAL UPDATE OPTION: MSE will automatically update itself, but the first update may be time-consuming.  On a high speed Internet connection, I've found it useful to manually Download latest virus definitions (great technique for updating a secondary dial up only PC that you might want to protect)  Older 32 Bit systems (XP, Vista) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87342 Newer 64 Bit systems (Vista, Windows 7) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87341 After downloading, click on MPAM-FE.EX (32 bit) or MPAM-FEX64.EXE  (64 bit). It will automatically install lastest definitions in a couple of minutes.  If you have  PCs that never connect to the Internet, this technique is a great way of staying updated with MSE. 7. Reboot system to ensure MSE starts automatically and with a green icon  displayed in the System Tray area. 8. Launch Microsoft Security Essentials from Start Menu and select FULL SCAN to ensure your system is malware free.This may take an hour or two depending on the size of system. You can let it run  unattended.  Check each of the tabs for  desired times to update and other desired settings. 9. Ensure your system is set for AUTOMATIC UPDATES (the WIndows Update process) if desired.  The link in step 1 above allows you to select this option 10. If the MSE icon in the System Tray changes to any other color than GREEN, it indicates a problem (and usually a pop-up message will occur recommending AV signature updates or the need for a weekly scan).  The quick scan satisfies the need for a scan and it's good once per month to do a full scan which may take a couple of hours and can run while you're away from the PC. QUOTE: Microsoft Security Essentials is a free download from Microsoft that is simple to install,  easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest  technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple @Atul Purohit

A recent study conducted by NASSCOM, the expected demand of Ethical Hacking professionals by the year 2012 would be around 1,88,000, as opposed to current availability of only about 22,000 professionals.
Hi friends, This post is the most popular post in my blog but outdated so i thought to publish it with complete analysis.
This post is specially for those people(for Indian readers) who has some interest in hacking and want to make career in this field. First of all we will talk about institute you should not join.

  Appin certified security expert (ACSE)

About course content- Nothing different and advanced then you find on internet , But you find all course material in a structured format like a book.
If you read my blog and others blogs or sites regularly you will get to know you have wasted your money. And the last thing I didn't got any call for job interview.

Certified



Information Security Expert(CISE)

                     

 

Innobuzz knowledge solution- CISE (Certified Information Security Expert) certification is one of the most recognized Indian certification in Information Security and Ethical Hacking.

ITS is a THE next big thing in IT and you should make the best of it. as i got to know @ their website www.innobuzz.in  If you are a newbie and thinking to join short term course , No issue. Long term course is advanced and looks attractive before joining properly investigate about faculty and lab.

About course content and placement- Course content  not bad, short term course covers all important topics, I tried hard to get free classes but never succeed, they never replied my email letter. So i don't have any personal experience about innobuzz knowledge solution.

5/26/2011 BackTrack 5 Countdown | Time to release on 10th may,2011

BackTrack 5 Countdown | Time to release

BackTrack 5 is going to release and its going to rock & hack again. Thanks to BackTrack-Linux.org for giving us such a great thing.

BackTrack 5 will be based on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS), and will (finally) support both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures. We will be officially supporting KDE 4, Gnome and Fluxbox while providing users streamlined ISO downloads of each Desktop Environment (DE). Tool integration from our repositories will be seamless with all our supported DE’s, including the specific DE menu structure.

 



 



 



  



 



 

Perhaps most importantly BackTrack 5 “revolution” will be our first release to include full source code in it’s repositories. This is a big thing for us, as it officially joins us to the open-source community and clears up any licensing issues which were present in BackTrack 4.The absence of source code availability in BT4 was mainly due to lack of resources when we initially structured the BT4 development environment. Newly armed with our support from Offensive Security, we have now built a *proper* development environment, which allows us to do some pretty awesome things.Our tool list has completely been revamped and refreshed. Each tool’s functionality was assessed and decided upon before inclusion to BT5. Obviously, we are constantly staying up to date with interesting new tools and are adding them to our repositories when appropriate. In addition, our menu structure has been much optimized – streamlined with both the PTES and OSSTMM standards. This will make finding and using the right tools much easier.We are finally able to update our roadmap and pin down a date for the release – May 10th, 2011. Information Source

5/25/2011 Hack the Hacking/Craking check for the information on it!

Hack The Hackking:-

 

Today the day was soooo boring.... but at end of the days i started writing  an Article on Hack the Hacking.

Here It is:-

                                 

Hacking as i  told the word does not need any definition because in google the word is well famous and as well know but the use and perpese is not so clearly define and wrote.

Friends dnt get confused in the word CRACKERS & HACKERS.

Crackers are the guys those who known how to crack the system means the programming part of the software or the system while Hacker are the guys who steels the data or site or the information available in that  system and program.

 Myself Atul Purohit had started writing blog on Hacking News & Updates and i was interested in it too much so i wann to make awareness to the fan or the hack lovers to get it right and clear so i will try my best to define the word Hack the Hacking to my best.....

Hacking is mainly divided into three type as i had defined it:-

1. White Hat Hacking.

2. Gray Hat Hacking.

3. Black Hat Hacking.

White Hat Hacking/Hacker:-

First of all White Hat Hacking/Hacker as the are known as white hat hackers because the work or the hacking done by this hacker is completely ethical and harmless or we can say it eco-friendly and this is mainly use for the educational perpese as now a days it is offical tought by manny univesity and institute how to do it ethical for self protection its all need because the world is towards the advancement and the well of security should be increse to secure your data and sites so it has became now necessary to protect ourself and so ethical hacking plays an important role in todays IT sector.

Gray Hat Hacking/Hacker:-

                        

Gray Hat Hacker/Hacking is also the same but the advance part of the ethical hacking, this hackers are the hackers which helps to detect or solve out the problem, where this hackers play an important role in cyber security and look after the security.  this hacker lies between both white and black hat hacker because as they use their knowledge for good perpese but to archive success they might misuse it and can be referred them as black hat hackers. The word gray hat was coined by a hacker group called lopht in 1998. In the year 2002 the word "Gray Hat" was published to the public by the Anti-Soc Community who worked in the security center at that date.Following the rise and eventual decline of the Full Disclosure vs Anti-Sec "golden era" and the subsequent growth of Ethical Hacking philosophy of the term grey hat began to take on all sorts of diverse meanings till that date. In the year 2008 the EFF Following the rise and eventual decline of the Full Disclosure vs Anti-Sec "golden era" - and the subsequent growth of Ethical Hacking philosophy—the term grey hat began to take on all sorts of diverse meanings voilent the law in the effort or feild of effort.

Black Hat Hacking/Hacker:-                    

Black Hat Hacking/Hacker the word itself define some part of its meaning ya guys you are right the word Black means dark, as this guys are really dangerous as this title is given to those guys who are the master minded in this field as i had use the word Hack the Hacking ya this is possible by the Black Hatters as they are the one who misuses the knowledge and power to perform crime so you guys can call them as Villains too. As they hack the system to get the necessary information and to earn profit out of that information but guys keep in mind the cyber laws which are so strict and really won;t leave you if u are not a good hacker but the black hat are well trained and so they are named black hatter as they say nothing is impossible in their case.

Type of Hacking attack done Now a Days:-

                      

·         Viruses - most common form of attack

·         Denial of service attacks

·         Trojans (or trojan horses)

·         Brute-force and social engineering password          attacks

·         Port scanning and spoofing

·         Phishing

·         Ransomware
