Remove / Bypass Windows password - Windows 10 Backdoor

-
I started my career 6 years ago and in these six years I have seen many people who have lost their
windows login password.

This post will help you to remove your windows password without using any third party software.

So lets get started.

If you are bored of reading this article watch this video :


I came across this trick when I was researching for a public presentation in 2014.

There are several different methods to remove windows password but in this post I will show you how to do it without using any third party software.

We will be using linux to create a backdoor in windows OS and using this backdoor we can reset the password.

So the first thing you will need is a linux live pendrive. To create a bootable pendrive we need to download and run rufus utility.

We also need a linux OS. For linux I am using parrot sec os but you can use any other distro.

Once your pendrive is ready you need to restart your system in boot menu by pressing boot-menu key. For my system its f11 but it will be different for your device. It depends on you motherboard manufacturer.

After booting into linux you need to make changes to c drive but write access will be restricted.

To fix this we need to open terminal and enter the following command :

 sudo fdisk -l


This will list all the drives in your system. In my case c drive is a 256 nvme drive out of which almost 600MB is used for configuration and 237.9GB is used for storage. So my c drive is nvme0n1p4.

Now to mount c drive with read/write permission we need to goto root directory and then mnt. Here we need to create a folder named cDrive


After that run the following command to mount c drive and remove windows hibernation file

sudo ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/your_C_ Drive /mnt/cDrive

Here using ntfs 3g we can mount the drive to mnt/cDrive


After mount we need to goto c drive windows system32

Here search for sethc.exe file and rename it to sethc.exe.bk

Now search for cmd.exe and make a copy of that file and rename it to sethc.exe

After that restart your machine into windows.

When you arrive at the login screen tap shift key multiple time until cmd pops up

Now type in

net user

You will see all your user accounts


To change password enter :

net user [username] *


You will be ask to type a password, you can enter one or leave it blank

After that retype password and press enter

After this step you can login to your machine with the new password

Creating first IoT project using ESP32-Node MCU

There has been a lot of development in the field of ioT and smart homes. We live in a era where most of our devices are connected to the internet. Raspberry Pi was launched in 2012 and with it there was a rise in several IoT Smart home applications. But the problem was that raspberry pi was a bit costly. Here in India it was available for around 3000 to 4000 rupees. We had Arduino uno before but it lacked Wi-Fi and adding external wifi module was a headache. But in 2015 a new device surfaced in the market with built in wifi. It was the node mcu. It was not as powerful as raspberry pi and it didn’t even run linux os but it was powerful enough to compute and control other devices. It was the perfect cheap alternative to develop iot projects. Later ESP32 was developed with more features and processing power. That’s enough history now let me explain how I managed to develop a smart home project. The goal : We should be able to control the lights using wifi. The Idea : ESP32 / Node...

  Aim : To understand buffer overflow and exploit a c code Things you will need : VM software(Virtual Box / VM Ware) Kali linux 32 bit Procedure : Let me break the procedure for your better understanding (Watch video linked to this tutorial for better understanding): 1.        Write / Copy C program 2.        Compile the program 3.        Execute the program 4.        Testing the program 5.        Disassemble the program 6.        Hack the program Buffer overflow is an anomaly that occurs when software writing data to a buffer overflows the buffer’s capacity, resulting in adjacent memory locations being overwritten. In other words, too much information is being passed into a container that does not have enough space, and that information ends up replacing data in adjacent c...
