Hack Windows Registry

Using another Windows, it is possible to open Windows registry of another hard disk. Plug in the disk that needs to crack. Let's say it is mounted as drive G:

1. Boot into Windows XP, 2000, or 2003
2. Launch regedit.exe
3. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to attach the target registry under it
4. Click File - Load Hive
5. Select the target hard disk, and browse to G:\Windows\system32\config\software (for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
6. Enter a key name: hacker
7. Now there is a new folder under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\hacker
8. Browse this folder just like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Modify any entry as require
9. Other files are sam, system

After modified, put the target disk back to the original machine, or boot order, if it is same machine

This procedure is especially useful if wrongly modify a registry, and can't get in

Yesterday night my PC attacked by variant of FakeAlert virus. The virus make use of browser to download a self execute downloader, which further download the trojan horse program.

The trojan horse modified wallpaper, screensaver, and disable screensaver tab in Display Properties.

Following is solution to enable screensaver tab in Display Properties:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

- 0 is enable the tab, 1 is to disable

This trojan horse can be removed by regular or free antivirus software, so I won't document it here.  Please note that the antivirus software will not restore your wallpaper, screensaver, nor enable screensaver tab

Linksys WRT55ag v2 Hacking #1

Bought this wireless router for $50 used. Found that it is highly unstable when using P2P and Skype for voice chat.

With P2P such as eMule, it hang average about every 6 hr. With Skype voice chat, it hang every 30 min about 20% of the time.

Found that DD-WRT, and OpenWRT both are under development to replace the firmware, while Linksys does not provide any later version neither.

There are some information I gather to hack this router and replace it with OpenWRT:

1. Steps to compile Linux kernel
2. Serial cable configuration, which use JP1 socket inside WRT55ag board
3. Processor is 200 MHz Atheros AR50001AP
4. Firmware bootloader is VxWork for ar531x rev 0x00005742
5. Network interface name is /dev/ae0
6. Network loopback name is /dev/lo0
7. EEPROM size 4 MB, RAM 16 MB
8. Serial cable is the only approach to control the device
9. Serial protocol is 9600, N, 8-bit, 1 stop, no hardware handshake
10. Only found 1 homepage who installed it successfully http://legacy.not404.com/OpenWRT/Atheros/Linksys/WRT55AGv2

I will need to custom make a serial cable to connect to socket JP1 on the WRT55ag board. I also need to get a small screw driver to open the casing as well
