Windows 7 & 8 Tip: How To Create Your Own Keyboard Shortcuts to Open Programs

Friday, April 6, 2012 // by Hacking Beast Editor // Labels: , , , , , // 0 comments

You can create your own keyboardshortcut to open your most used programs, and you can do that without the help from a 3rd party application.
For example, I want to create a keyboard shortcut that can open Internet Explorer by just pressing Ctrl+Alt+E.
1. Right click IE icon on the taskbar, right click again on Internet Explorer, and go to Properties.

2. In the Shortcut tab, click the Shortcut key box, press the letter "E" key.

3. Click OK. And done. If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Now, you can press Ctrl+Alt+E to quickly open Internet Explorer on your computer every time when you need to.
A few notes though,
  • The keyboard shortcut keys can be assigned are either Function keys, or the letter, or number in combination with Ctrl+Alt.
  • The keyboard shortcut keys are only applied to the shortcuts. So in order to use it to open a program, you actually set it up on the shortcut that points to the program. Most of the icons pinned on the taskbar are the shortcuts already.
  • Since the tip applies only to the shortcuts, you can use it to quickly open a shortcut to a folder as well.
  • You can’t use the ESC, TAB, Spacebar, PrtScn, Shift, or Backspace as the keys to create the keyboard shortcut.
  • If you’re using a program that also has a keyboard shortcut using the same key combination as the shortcut you just created, then your shortcut might not work.

The Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) is a python-driven suite of custom tools which solely focuses on attacking the human element of penetration testing. It’s main purpose is to augment and simulate social-engineering attacks and allow the tester to effectively test how a targeted attack may succeed.
This is the official change log:

  • Added the Binary2Teensy option in the Teensy menu, this will allow you to create a payload and inject alphanumeric shellcode through shellcodeexec in a new technique released at BSIDESLV
  • Changed the path of metasploit to be /opt/msf3/framework3 versus /pentest/exploits/framework3
  • Added the ability for multiple payloads in binary2teensy attack
  • Added the ability to leverage the SDCard mounted Teensy device with payload generation without mounting the SDCard to the victim machine
  • Fixed a bug where webattack_email turned on would not trigger based on a wrong path
  • Updated the phishing attacks in the infectious media site and phishing site in the web GUI interface
  • Updated the Wireless Access Point Attack to choose the monitor interface that is most recently created
  • Changed the menu output, this is the first of many changes on how the menu interacts
  • Added an X10 Sniffer into the Arduino based attack vectors
  • Added an X10 Jammer into the Arduino based attack vectors
  • Changed the menu option to reflect Arduino based attack vector versus Teensy
  • Added a starttls check for authentication around sendmail
  • Fixed a bug in mass mailer that would cause gmail to be set versus smtp relay

Remove or Uninstall Programs from Mac OS X

Saturday, July 30, 2011 // by Hacking Beast Editor // Labels: , , , // 0 comments

I love my MacBook Pro running OS X Lion and I even use it as my primary machine nowadays. I find it more intuitive than Windows in terms of using the display space efficiently and how smoothly you can move through applications. That being said, there is one thing that has always bothered me and still does. Uninstalling programs!
Why is it that Apple cannot come up with a simple standard way for users to uninstall programs. This is not Linux, it should be a piece a cake! Unfortunately, removing applications from a Mac, especially older programs, is a royal pain. Most websites tell you to buy a third-party program that will properly remove all the files from your system! Why the heck should I have to buy a program to do something so simple on such an advanced operating system?
Anyway, in this post I’ll try to walk you through the various methods you can use to properly uninstall a program from your Mac. There are basically two ways a program gets installed on the Mac. Some of the newer programs come as bundles or packages, which means that all of the files are stored in one folder. This is nice because you can simply trash that one folder in order to get rid of 99% of the files.
However, if it’s not a package, then the program gets installed in several locations and unless the program came with an uninstaller script, you will have to manually remove all the files. What fun!
So first things first, you should figure out whether the program is a package/bundle or not. You can do this by going to Finder, then Applications and right-clicking on the program you want to uninstall.
remove programs mac
If you see an option in the content menu called “Show Package Contents”, that means the program is a bundle and you can simply take the application from the Applications folder and dump it into the trash. That takes care of just about all of the application, except for a few minor files.
There are two other locations where other leftover files could be. Both of these locations are in the Library folder on your Mac. You cannot see this folder by default in Mac OS X Lion, so you have to go to the Terminal and type in the following command to make it visible.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
show library folder
Now when you go to your root folder in OS X, you will see the Library folder in the list:
library folder os x
In that folder are two folders that can possibly hold extra files associated with a program: Application Support and Preferences. The files in Preferences are very small and don’t take up much space, but the Application Support files could be fairly large, so it’s good to remove those files also.
application support
Delete the appropriate folders here and you should be good to go. This is pretty good for most people, but if you really are hardcore and want to make sure you got every last file, you have to use the full power of Finder. Open Finder and search for the app you want to delete, such as Skype. Before you press Enter, however, you’ll see a drop down menu and here you want to choose Filename contains “skype”. If you don’t do this, it will search the content of files for the word Skype.
finder search
Next click the This Mac button instead of All My Files. This will search your entire Mac instead of just a few folders.
search for app
Next go to list view instead of the icon view so that you can sort the files easier. It’s the one right about the “This Mac” button that looks like 4 horizontal lines. Now you won’t see many files at this point because by default, Finder does not search system files. You can include them by clicking the + icon at the far right, next to the Save button.
add criteria
A new menu bar will appear where you will see Kind is Any. Click on Kind to see a drop down. If you don’t see System Files in the list that comes up, click on Other and then you’ll see a huge list. Scroll down until you see System Files and select it. Also, go ahead and click the check box so that it is included in the menu for later use.
search system files
Now go ahead and change Aren’t Included to Are Included in the second drop down box.
are included
Whew! Now you should see all the files and folders with Skype in the name. Go ahead and click on the Kind to sort the files.
sort by kind
You can also click on View and choose Show Path Bar so that you can see the path to any of the files and folders.
uninstall programs



Using this manual method, you can pretty much rest assured that you have not missed any file associated with a program. Remember, there is no registry in OS X like in Windows, so you don’t have to go deleting stuff out of a database or anything else. It’s all stored in folders and files. If you have any issues with uninstalling apps from your Mac, post a comment here and I’ll try to help. Enjoy!
