Use Windows 8 as a Wi-Fi Hotspot

Creating Wi-Fi HotSpot in Windows 8 – Share Laptop Internet Connection

In windows seven there was an option to create the Wi-Fi hotspot but it’s not the case with the Windows 8. In Windows 8 you will need cmd to create a hotspot.

Requirement:

    A Working Internet Connection (Either Dial Up Connection or Else Lan Internet Connection)
    A Built In or External Wifi adapter which supports the sharing ability for internet connection
    A laptop.

Step:

• Open up CMD in the administrator mode.
• Write the following command and look for the thing mentioned in the screen shot that whether it’s written yes or no. It it’s yes then you can go on “It means that you can enable the hotspot and can share your internet connection.”

         Command to Check Sharing Compatibility of wifi network for windows 8:

          netsh wlan show drivers

Creating The Wi-Fi Hotspot:

Don’t close the cmd as you are going to use cmd again. Following is the command line to create the hotspot, set the password and name it as you want too.

    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=nameOfwifiHotspot key=yourpassword

The above is the command to create the hotspot. Replace “nameOfwifiHotspot” with the desired network name and replace “yourpassword” with the desired password which will be used by the others to connect to the hotspot.

• Press the enter and hotspot will be created.
• Starting the Wi-Fi Created Hotspot in Windows 8:

Now you need to start the hotspot, again you are going to need the cmd and the cmd must run in the administrator mode. Write the following command in the cmd to start the above created hotspot.

    netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Press enter and the hotspot will be created and will be discoverable by the other devices as well.
Sharing the working internet connection with the windows 8 Wi-Fi hotspot:

All Right, everything has been done and now you only need to give your laptop’s internet connection’s access to the created hotspot, so that any user connected to the hotspot will have the internet access also. For this reason you will need to open the windows networking and sharing center.

Windows 8 searching the network and sharing center

Open up the network and sharing center, and then go to “Change adapter settings” on the top left pane. Click that to open. Here you will see your created hotspot connection plus the connection which you want to be shared with the hotspot for the internet sharing. The created hotspot connection has the star with the name. You need to open the properties of the connection which you want to be shared with the hotspot.

Right click and open the properties of the connection which has the internet access and is the original internet connection of the laptop, whether it’s a dialup, local area network or anything like that. Go to the sharing tab in the properties and then tick the “Allow other network users to connect through this pc internet connection” and in the drop down below, select the hotspot connection which is “Local Area connection *21” in my case and then hit ok. Re-dial the connection or else reconnect the internet connection if needed.

That was it and you are done, the password to connect with the hotspot is the same which you used while setting up hotspot in the cmd. If you can’t still share the internet then reason are that firewall or an antivirus is causing the problem, try disabling the firewall if you trust the person with whom you are sharing the hotspot or else try adding an exception int he firewall or antivirus.

Save your Data from Keyloggers

Welcome to My Bank’s Internet banking.
Enter your userid and password.
Userid: xxxxxxxxx
Password: xxxxxxx
Action = submit.jsp

and you have logged into banking application.
Now Just Go inside following location:
Location:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config.dll

You will get:

File contents:
08-Aug-08: 08:00: Window title: Welcome to My Bank's internet banking
Userid: xxxxxxxx Password: xxxxxxx

What's wrong:
When you browsed to banking page and typed in your userid and password to signin into the bank, A hidden malicious program was working to log your keystrokes, and browser interceptions, named keylogger, keystroke recorder running in the background logging all the keystrokes into a config.dll file located in C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. This file contains all the keystrokes typed in. It contains the window title and all those things typed into that window along with few other details. This file will go to attacker's ftp site or in attacker email id.
These keyloggers are easily and freely available on internet . And many of these are undetectable for a normal computer user. So your chance of being infected by such a malicious code even if you have an updated antivirus/anti-Spyware program is about 70%. See the brighter side, you still are 30% safe.

So what can we do-
<1> Use a strong antivirus programm, with anti spyware .
<2> Daily or weakly boot scan can reduce the threats of malicious software.
<3> The past foolproof way to bypass keylogger was virtual keyboards.

Why i said that virtual keyboards was foolproof in past. They can save your keystrokes but this was when stealers were simple keyloggers. Whatever keys were typed in, they were captured by the malicious code and logged into some file in simple or encrypted form. This attack can be mitigated by virtual keyboards. It works simply by clicking the keyboard layout by a mouse. So the basic keyloggers cannot capture the mouse clicks and hence the passwords cannot be logged.
malware coders have thought a new one mouse clicks cannot be logged. However their x-y positions can be logged which can then be used to get the keys clicked using their x-y position on the web page. people started randomizing their virtual keyboards alphabets rows.
 So malware coders thought - Why not take a snap-shot of the keys pressed. Screen snap-shot of say 1 by 1 cm can be taken when a mouse click occurs. The letter present in snapshot is the password of the victim.
After this discussion i think that if we use three tricks given above the chance of your password stealing will remain only 10%.

-: Network Hacking :-

Network Hacking is generally means gathering information about domain by using tools like Telnet, NslookUp, Ping, Tracert, Netstat, etc.
It also includes OS Fingerprinting, Port Scaning and Port Surfing using various tools.

Ping :- Ping is part of ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) which is used to troubleshoot TCP/IP networks. So, Ping is basically a command that allows you to check whether the host is alive or not.
To ping a particular host the syntax is (at command prompt)--

c:/>ping hostname.com

example:- c:/>ping www.google.com




Various attributes used with 'Ping' command and their usage can be viewed by just typing c:/>ping at the command prompt.


Netstat :- It displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections. i.e. local address, remote address, port number, etc.
It's syntax is (at command prompt)--

c:/>netstat -n

Telnet :- Telnet is a program which runs on TCP/IP. Using it we can connect to the remote computer on particular port. When connected it grabs the daemon running on that port.
The basic syntax of Telnet is (at command prompt)--

c:/>telnet hostname.com


By default telnet connects to port 23 of remote computer.
So, the complete syntax is-

c:/>telnet www.hostname.com port


example:- c:/>telnet www.yahoo.com 21 or c:/>telnet 192.168.0.5 21


Tracert :- It is used to trace out the route taken by the certain information i.e. data packets from source to destination.
It's syntax is (at command prompt)--

c:/>tracert www.hostname.com

example:- c:/>tracert www.insecure.in



Here "*    *    *    Request timed out." indicates that firewall installed on that system block the request and hence we can't obtain it's IP address.

various attributes used with tracert command and their usage can be viewed by just typing c:/>tracert at the command prompt.

The information obtained by using tracert command can be further used to find out exact operating system running on target system.

Titan II is HTC’s First LTE Windows Phone

 HTC has announced HTC Titan II, the company’s first LTE Windows Phone.

Like its predecessor, the Titan II is huge, with a 4.7-inch super LCD screen. The rest of the specifications are quite impressive, too: a 16-megapixel back camera (and a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front for video calls) and a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon CPU.

Interestingly enough, while the back camera comes with a huge range of goodies, such as a wide-angle lens, autofocus, image stabilization and dual LED flash, it only takes 720p – not 1080p – video.

Of course, LTE support, which will enable super fast data transfer on AT&T’s network, makes the Titan II a good choice for heavy multimedia and internet users.

The device will be available “in the coming months” to AT&T customers. The price hasn’t yet been announced.

How to make a tablet pc from an old laptop

In this project i used an old Fujitsu Siemens life book S series laptop. It has got a 1 Ghz processor and 256 Mb ram, (not sure about the graphic card but i know its between 8-32 Mb). In this instructable i will show how to do tablet pc the easy way(and the cheapest) , and how to do it hard way (including "touch" screen etc). I personaly did it the hard way about half way and run out of materials and  i decided to finish it the easy way.

In this project you will need:
1.Old laptop
2. Soldering iron
3.some wires
4. Basic tools to open up the laptop

And if you are doing the hard way you will also need:
5.Lots of straight plastic
6.Something to melt down the plastic
7. And for the touch screen i would have used device called Minio Xi (look from google)(and buy from Ebay)  . It is mostly used to make projektor sceen "touch" screen. This device uses infrared to map out where the pen is moving on the screen. I will talk about it later in the quide.

The skils you will need to make this are:
1. Soldering
2. Plastic soldering
3. Basic knowledge how things work
4. Lots of patience

And of course for the hard way you will also need:

5.Problem solving skills
6.Serious knowledge how things work
7.Way to know how to make "special" tools
8. Huge amount of patience

And sorry for my English its not my main language but i will try to make it readable : S2P

Step 1Tearing up the laptop
 

This is just basic demolition of the laptop.
Decide wich parts you will use in your project and wich you will modify.

Step 2Building the Tablet pc (easy way) Part 1

Warning!
remember that you are working in sensitive electronic equipment involved. Make sure to ground yourself before you start working. Remember also that the LCD monitor uses very high voltage when turned on. This does not kill you, but hurts a lot.


The basic idea of the easy way is to flip the screen upside down on the laptop chasis.
This can be a easy job to do but there is always something that wont fit, work. so you have to make it work or fit or both.
For examble in my case i had to find out how to make the power button to work and fit in so i can power up the pc.
As you can see in the seacond picture i had to solder two wires to the pins in order to get the ON/OFF switch to the other side of the laptop.
After i did that i had to modify the heatsink to fit under the screen as you can see in the picture number 5. Without the heatsink the laptop overheats and shuts down
after that i put all in their own place and installed speacers and other things i needed and did a test run as you can see in the last two pictures

Step 3Easy way part 2 (plastic soldering)
 
when you're at the point when you put all the parts on their places. place the screens original frame on the LCD screen, and try whether it fits right. If you are pleased you can start  plastic soldering.

Heat up the soldering iron about 240 degrees celsius and start welding the plastic together.


Step 4Easy way part 3
    
and now its ready.  use USB mouse to operate it and on screen keyboard to write

Step 5Now for the hard way  
after you have extracted the whole computer, fit the necessary components on your computer screen to see how much space you need and how much extra there is and how to make more space.
I had to tear up the battery plastic chasis in order to fit it in the space i had. Use flat screwdriver to do that.
when  done everything needed proceed to the next part.

Step 6Hard way part 2 (Making the tablet pc body)
   
This is the part where i had to stop building this one. Mainly reason is that i run out of materials and the seacond reason that i'm too lazy :D But i wil show you how to take it to the end but you will have to use your own brain and imagination to do that.

First of all i started to make the frame to the tablet. i cut the plastic the way i needed it and folded the plastic the way i had to in orded to make the frame to the tablet. the frame is about the size of the screen.
this is where i drop out. You can use plexi glass to make the top and bottom sides to the frame.

And for the touch screen part. I would have used Mimio Xi to do that. It uses one USB  port to power and to work. it uses infrared to map out where the pen is moving. the pen sends infrared to the mimio xi and the mimio calculates where the pen is moving. the pen is like computer mouse but instead moving it on the table you can move it on the screen. The mimio xi Is very expensive to buy but you can find it from the Ebay cheap. and you don't have to buy the whole thing you will only need the same parts shown on the last picture. there is the pen and the receiver. But make sure first that it works on the laptop before building it, because it needs drivers and the software to work. I have one mimio xi my self and its on my video projector screen so i can operate computer from the wall if i have to, and let me tell you. IT IS useless but so cool to use
So this is it this is all the information you need. Have fun Building your own laptop tablet. and Make a post if you did the hard way to the finish. Please RATE AND COMMENT and if there is something bothering PM me and i'l do something about it. Happy building!

!!! THANK YOU FOR VISIT !!!
