Bypass Windows File Protection in Windows XP

There are two different solutions, depending on whether you have SP2 installed or not.

If you don’t have SP2 installed

Locate the file sfc_os.dll, which should be in your System32 folder. Copy it and name it sfc_os.bak. Open this file using a hex editor such as XVI32,which is an excellent freeware. This is an extremely simple edit and does not require an editor with advanced features. All you need to do is change two values. The location of these values will vary depending on whether you’re using Windows XP without a Service Pack or Windows XP with SP1, but the actual hex values to change will be the same.For Windows XP with no Service Pack installed, go to offset 0000E2B8 (E2B8 hex). For Windows XP with SP1, go to offset 0000E3BB (E3BB hex). At those offsets, change the hex values 8BC6 to 9090.Note: Depending on your hex editor, you may see the value separated by a space, as in “8B C6”. If you can’t find the values, do not proceed. It could be that your version of XP is different. The edit as described here only applies to English retail versions of Windows XP.

If you have SP2 installed

Disabling System File Protection in XP prior to SP2 involved editing the sfc_os.dll file, but the version of sfc_os.dll that comes with SP2 is different, and you cannot disable file protection with it. With SP2, you need to use the previous version of the sfc_os.dll file, which is 5.1.2600.1106 (the one with SP2 is5.1.2600.2180). Open sfc_os.dll with a hex editor and go to offset 0xECE9. The values to change are 33 C0 40. Change these to 90 90 90. Save your changes. Rename the file with a .bak extension (sfc_os.bak). The original exists in two locations: the\Windows\System32 folder, and the\Windows\System32\dllcache folder. Place a copy of sfc_oc.bak in both these folders. Then in the dllcache folder, look for cmd.exe, double-click it, and enter this command: copy SFC_OS.BAK SFC_OS.DLL /Y Next, go to your System32 folder and do the same thing. Look for cmd.exe, double- click it, and enter exactly the samecommand.

Points to remember

* If you have a problem overwriting the files, you can do the copying within the Recovery Console, or you can try Safe Mode.

*The dllcache folder is a hidden folder.

*It is important to copy the file to yourdllcache folder first.

*If you’re prompted to pop in your Windows CD, click Cancel.

Once the files have been copied, shut down your computer and restart it. The final step is to disable System File Protection in the Registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\

Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. In the right-hand pane, if it doesn’t exist, create a new DWORD value named SFCDisable. Double-click it and ente “FFFFFF9D”. Exit the Registry Editor and reboot. You’re done.

How to bypass CD DRM Encryption?

DRM is an encryption manifest file which dissallows an individual who's purchased a CD which contains the DRM directly written into the actual Audio Disk. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management.

What's the cause for DRM Encryption?

DRM(Digital Rights Management) is to control the internets piracy of Audio files, mp3s for example.. on P2P (Peer To Peer) Clients, (A famous one is KaZaA) for non-3rd party use. Which this means that You can rip the audio to your computer, and listen to them only at your computer and nowhere else. Now there usually is an internal ripper provided by the CD itself, for you to burn the audio to another CD-R or whatever, but if you follow my howto it'll make things a lot simpler.

-What you need-

1. 6-ft. (182m)* Shielded Audio Cable, 1/8/11th's stereo miniplug, to 1/8/11th's stereo miniplug. Radio shack item # (42-2387A)

2. A CD Player.

3. The CD which has the DRM encryption.

4. A Computer with working Microphone input, and soundcard output.

5. An Audio editor such as Sonic Foundry Sound forge 6.0 or something like it.

Now, take the Audio chord and plug it into your CD player where you'd put your headphones, then take the other end and plug it directly into your CPU's microphone input.

Once that's done, open up your Audio Editor... click on File>New> Once the new layout has opened, click "Record" now once it has started to record, click Play on your CD Diskman. (Make sure you have your Sound on the Diskman to MAX output)

Now thats pretty much it... once the disk has been fully played and upstreamed to your audio editor... you can disect the Tracks and the name them on New Sound layouts, name the track... and save it as mp3. Becuase by default all audio editors save upstreamed tracks as .WAV format, and wav format is a relativelly enormus size as far as bytes are concerned. Remember, it's our right to do what we want with what we buy.

1. There is no ready made software or program that can hack a Yahoo password just by entering the target username. If you come accross a site that claims to sell a program to hack Yahoo password then it’s 100% scam.

2. Never trust any Hacking Service that claims to hack a Yahoo password just for $100 or $200. All the hacking services are scams.

The following are the only 2 foolproof methods to hack a Yahoo password.

1. EASIEST WAY TO HACK YAHOO PASSWORD

Using keylogger is the easiest way to hack a Yahoo password. Any one with a basic knowledge of computer can use a keylogger without any problems. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’ve physical access to the target computer. The following are some of the frequently asked questions about keyloggers.

1. What is a keylogger?

A keylogger is a small program that records each and every keystroke (including passwords) that a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. A keylogger is also called as Spy program or Spy software.

2. Where can I get the keylogger?

There exists hundrends of keyloggers on the internet. But most of them are of poor quality and fail to deliver a good performance. The two best keyloggers for hacking yahoo password are listed below.

2. OTHER WAYS TO HACK YAHOO PASSWORD

The other most commonly used trick to hack Yahoo password is using a Fake Login Page (also called as Phishing). Today, Fake login pages are the most widely used techniques to hack Yahoo password. A Fake Login page is a page that appears exactly as a Login page of sites like Yahoo, Gmail etc. But once we enter our password there, we end up loosing it.

Fake login pages are created by many hackers on their sites which appear exactly as Gmail or Yahoo login pages but the entered details(username & password) are redirected to remote server and we get redirected to some other page. Many times we ignore this but finally we loose our valuable data.

However creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack a Yahoo password is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc. So if you are new to the concept of hacking passwords, then I recommend using the keyloggers to hack Yahoo. Because Keyloggers are the easiest way to hack Yahoo password.
