3 simply ways of breaking into a windows PC

In the virtual world, similar to the real one, there's no security that can't be bypassed or cracked. in spite of what security companies tell you, no matter what any ad would possibly claim, if somebody puts enough effort into it, he or she's going to eventually get around those safety measures. I am pretty certain you already knew this, however, just in case you did not, thinking that your files are safe as a result of you are using a Windows password is an incorrect assumption. 

However, since I cannot give you a secure resolution, I assumed it'd be useful for you recognize the foremost usually used ways of breaking into somebody else's computer. This will, at least, provide you with the advantage of knowing what to expect and the way to make things as difficult as possible for the opposite party.

Trinity Tool Kit

Trinity Rescue Kit

In order to achieve access to someone's Windows account, all you need is a little of time and therefore the right tools. For example there's this dodgy tool referred to as Trinity Rescue Kit that was originally designed to assist folks that got bolted out of their own computers regain access by resetting their Windows password. However since the road to hell is paved with good intentions, this Linux-based tool is generally accustomed reset passwords from different people's operating systems.


The manner it works isn't terribly sophisticated, but, as antecedently expressed, requires some time. All the attacker have to do is go to the Trinity website, download the Trinity Rescue Kit ISO file and burn it to a disk or create a bootable USB memory stick. Once that is done, they'll merely realize a gap (when you're secluded from your PC) and boot the PC from the antecedently mentioned 

kit. it'll take a jiffy for the disk / USB to load, however once the main menu is set, things are very straightforward, and in just six simple steps your password will be gone: Windows password Resetting --> Interactive Winpass --> < select partition > --> Edit User data and passwords --> < Windows username > --> choice 1: Clear (Blank) User Password.


In order to protect yourself against this technique, the most effective thing for you to do would be to cipher the complete operating system with a tool like TrueCrypt (free). If the password is wiped (like it absolutely was), the creator the attack will not be able to access any of your files. in addition, this technique doesn't work on Windows eight users who log-in with their Microsoft account. However, if they use a local account, the tool will simply bypass it.

Ophcrack

ophrack

Ophcrack is another evil tool, and this one was developed with nasty intentions from the get go. This methodology is used to search out the user's secret, therefore an answer like TrueCrypt will not work this point because the person breaking into your computer also will have access to the encrypted files. Moreover, this nasty application conjointly works against Windows eight users UN agency use their Microsoft accounts to log-in, therefore previous defenses are off the table.

The manner this hacking tool works is the following: the attacker downloads the Ophcrack Live CD, burn it on a disk or copy it on stick and boot your computer using the various device. Then all he or she has got to do is instruct the tool to start out cracking the password. ]

Moreover, if the hacker is in a hurry, there's also a text mode that may speed things up, however, it does not work against indiscriminately generated passwords (those that do make sense). Once it's done, the tool can show the password(s) found, and so all the opposite person has got to do is boot usually and log in along with your account to realize full access.

I know it sounds pretty grim, however, it's truly not as unhealthy as you may think, because the tool uses a direct attack methodology known as Rainbow Tables, and it's to make use of your hardware in the attempt to crack the password. This suggests that your CPU is responsible for trying many combos, and if you are not using prime of the line technology, that may take a moment. moreover, if you use a protracted password

(15 or additional characters), particularly one that will not make sense to others, you'll delay the crack for a really long time and perhaps even make sure that the hacker does not have enough time to crack into your system.

backtrack

Another Linux-based solution, backtrack is a free tool that is extremely simple to get a hold of. This program is capable of doing plenty of nasty stuff to a Windows-based computer, like accessing each accessible network resource, finding vulnerabilities, rhetorical analysis, etc. moreover, it can even use privilege escalation techniques to alter or take away your Windows password, and unlike the previously mentioned attack, it takes little or no time.

I admit, my hacking skills and knowledge in the area are limited, however, as far as I do know, this is often one of the most effective and fastest solutions for attacking a single computer or many devices connected to a network. Sadly, there's not a lot of you'll be able to do to safeguard yourself against this type of attack, because it can bypass your Windows password no matter what. 

The only accessible solution is encrypting your sensitive files and hope that the attacker does not have the ability to crack the encryption, though he will merely copy them on a portable device and keep making an attempt.

Let me say it this way: essentially, anyone who has ever installed and used any Linux operating system knows how to break into your computer. 

The easiest solution to bypass the Windows password protection is to boot the laptop from any Linux Live CD kit then simply access all the files stored on the hard-disk. (As you'll see, there's absolutely no hacking or cracking involved.)

 just in case the files in question need special privileges, all it takes is the sudo nautilus command (which, once again, most of the people who use Linux know), and that they will access everything,

Once again, the most resolution for defensive yourself against this is often to stay your sensitive files (or the complete OS) encrypted.
