Hack The FinderThe Finder can be hacked a bit using the Terminal, of course, so we figured we could show you a few tricks, too. Here’s how to hack up the Finder a bit to make it work better for you. Show Hidden Files Sometimes you just want to see it all, right?The Finder hides many configuration files in the finder, some of which you might want to get into to change things. Most of the time, these files should stay hidden or left alone, but we’re not interested in playing it safe all the time. If you want to see all the files on your Mac for your own reasons, launch Terminal and type or paste in the following command:defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUEThen, issue the command to restart the Finder ( killall Finder) and hit the Return key.If, after you’ve found the hidden files you were looking for, you want to return the Finder to its pristine, hidden-file state, simply do the same thing, except change TRUE to FALSE, and you’ll be good to go. Change Screenshot Formats Sometimes a JPG is all you need.Taking a screenshot in OS X is as simple as hitting Command-Shift-3 for the whole screen, and Command-Shift-4 for a selection portion of your screen. These screenshots end up on your Desktop in the Finder, and by default are PNG files.
If you want to change that default to, say, JPG or PDF, simply type or paste the following command into Terminal.defaults write com.apple.screencapture type file-extensionJust be sure to change “file-extension” above with the three letter suffix for the file type you want. So, if you want your screenshots to default to jpeg files, simply type or paste the following: defaults write com.apple.screencapture type JPG, and you’ll be good to go. Show File Path Info Where the heck am I? Yeah!Sometimes, it can get confusing as to where you’re at in the Finder, especially if you have a lot of folders open in windows, and they have similar names.
A neat way to remind yourself where you are is to enable the Path View in the title bar of your Finder windows. To do so, simply enter the following into your Terminal app.defaults write com.apple.finder FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YESNow your Finder windows will all show you the file path structure, so you’ll be able to figure out where exactly you are when you get lost in a plethora of open folders and files. Hack The User InterfaceNow, let’s look at some commands you can issue in the Terminal to mess around with the user interface, to help you use your Mac the way you want, rather than the way they want. Whoever they are. Disable Window Animations Snappier on that older Mac, for sure.Mountain Lion has a window animation that make things look slick, but can slow down vital workflow, especially on older Macs. To get rid of this subtle but occasionally annoying feature, zoom up to open animation, and issue the following command into your Terminal app:defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool falseNow the windows will just appear without any opening animations, which should help things feel a bit snappier when running OS X on an older Mac.
Change false to true to bring it back. Get Rid Of Smooth Scrolling Direct scrolling is the new black.When you launch a Safari window that needs scrolling and hit the space bar, OS X is set up to animate the scrolling down motion, so it feels smooth and silky. Some users complain about this effect being jerky and unattractive on Retina Macbooks, and would like to disable it. All you need to do is issue the following command into Terminal:defaults write -g NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool NONow, when you hit the space bar in Safari or other scrolling windows, it will jump right to the next area on the page, rather than animating down.
Change NO to YES to get it back. Dump The Rubber Banding Effect Too bouncy! Stop!When you’re scrolling up or down in any OS X application, including the Finder, you may notice a sort of bouncy, rubber-band effect when you scroll past the top or bottom of a page or list too quickly. This mimics iOS beahvior, which is aesthetically pleasing, but it can be annoying at times, or slow down your process on an older Mac. To get rid of this feature, type or paste the following Terminal command:defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -int 0Now this only works in some apps, so you’ll have to quit them and relaunch to make sure. Safari or Chrome don’t seem to lose the effect, but Finder and Evernote do, so play around with it to see if the apps you want to disable this within will work. Enable Key Repeats Get rid of that annoying alt character popup.It used to be simple to get a repeated key on your Mac; just hold down any key and it would repeat after a certain amount of delay time.
Now, however, in many OS X apps like TextEdit, you can’t do that anymore, as an alternate character popup menu will appear if you hold down a key that has those associated with it. If you want to get rid of that popup feature, and get your key repetition back, simply issue the following command in Terminal:defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falseNow you can hold down any key and get a repeat. Golden scale ocarina of time. Make Your Mac More SecureNow, we’re going to spend a little time with Terminal commands to make your Mac just a bit more secure and private. Feel free to follow along at home.Read more at Erase Free Hard Drive Space Securely Even the NSA won’t be able to see what’s in your free space. Hopefully.When you delete files from your Mac’s hard drive, they don’t actually go anywhere. What gets deleted is your Mac’s ability to use them in any functional way. When new files are put on the Mac, they might (or might not) overwrite some or all of the older, already-trashed files.
To keep your files private, you might want to securely delete files from the Trash, and you might also want to delete all the files from the free space on your Mac.To do so, simply type or paste the following command into Terminal:diskutil secureErase freespace 3/Volumes/hard-drive-nameReplace “hard-drive-name” with the actual name of your hard drive, and then hit enter. You’ll get a progress bar, and if you have a big drive, it will take some time, as it overwrites each sector 35 times, five times as much as the US Department of Defense recommends, so you can assume it’s safely removed. This will get rid of any lingering files that you’ve already thrown away on your Mac, but didn’t do so securely. Reset Privacy Data On Your Mac Less sharing = more privacy.We all add new apps all the time, and in our socially-networked world, it’s hard not to jsut give the apps the permissions they need to run, and then move on.
Sometimes, though, you might want to just revoke all app access to your private data and start over from scratch. In OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, you can use Terminal to do just that. You’ll be revoking access to specific data services for all apps, one data service at a time. So, to revoke access to the Address Book, for example, you’ll want to enter the following command into Terminal:tccutil reset AddressBookThis should revoke all access to Contacts data from your Address Book.
For something like your Location Data, enter the following:tccutil reset CoreLocationAgentYou can get a full list of these types of services by typinglaunchctl listinto Terminal. There is, of course, a Privacy preference pane in the System Preferences app, but this is a bit more direct. And geeky, too! Reschedule Time Machine Backups Seriously, every FIVE minutes?
That’s a bit intense.A core feature of any data security plan is the backup system you use. Mac OS X’s Time Machine backups are fantastic and automatic, making sure your stuff is backed up on the fly, every hour.
If you want to change the interval at which it backs your stuff up, however, you can do that via Terminal. Simply enter the following command into your Terminal app.sudo defaults write/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 1800You’ll need to enter your admin password here as you’re invoking the Super User command, sudo. The 1800 there at the end will change your Time Machine backups to every 30 minutes, as it is an interval of seconds. To change it to back up every 15 minutes, use 900 in that spot.
If you want to change it back to every hour, simply replace the 1800 in the above command to 3600. Hack The DashboardNow, let’s look at the Dashboard with its widgets and things and see what we can do to hack it a bit.Read more at Put Your Dashboard Widgets On The Desktop Maybe I’ll use the calculator a bit more, now?Honestly, I don’t use the Dashboard too much, as their functionality is limited, and it’s just faster to open a dedicated app that I can switch to with Command-Tab. However, maybe if I was able to drop them on the Desktop, I’d end up using a few of the more useful ones more often. It’s worth a shot, right?All you need to do to make this happen is type or paste the following command into the Terminal app:defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YESThen enter the following command, as well.killall DockOnce that’s done, launch Dashboard with F12 (or whatever other keyboard shortcut you have defined for the Dashboard), and find the widget you want out of there.
Click and hold on it, move it a bit, and then hit F12 again to dismiss the Dashboard. The widget should then appear above whatever app you’re in, and stay in the foreground.To get rid of the widget from the Desktop, and put it back in the Dashboard, do the same thing in reverse. Click and hold on the widget, hit the F12 key to bring up the Dashboard, move the widget around a bit, and then release the mouse button. Widget replaced. Get Rid Of Dashboard AltogetherMaybe you don’t like the Dashboard, have RAM issues, or otherwise want to just kill it completely. That’s not horribly difficult; just use the Terminal.Type or paste the following command into the Terminal app, then hit Enter.defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YESThen, go ahead and restart the Dock again, with the following:killall DockNow you’ll have no more Dashboard.
So sad, see ya later. If you want to bring it back, of course, there’s a simple command to bring it back, replacing the YES above with a NO:defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NOThen killall Dock and you’re good to go.
Make Unsupported Features Work AgainOk, so let’s take a look at a few of the newer features of the OS X world, and how to make them work on older, unsupported Macs using some Terminal magic. Enable AirDrop Over Ethernet You can do it!AirDrop is one of those newer features, introduced in OS X Mountain Lion, that lets you share files to other supported AirDrop Macs on the same WiFi network as yours.
Other folks can do the same thing to your Mac, as well. Unfortunately, AirDrop doesn’t work on older Macs, nor over Ethernet, by default.If you’d like to try to make it work on your older Mac, simply past or type the following into your Terminal app:defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces -bool trueThen, log out of your Mac and log back in to check and see if it worked.Now, AirDrop should work on your older, unsupported Mac as well as over Ethernet. If you ever want to turn this ability off for any reason, simply replace ‘true’ in the command above with ‘false.’ Enable Time Machine For Unsupported Network Volumes I wish I had a real time machine.Time Machine rocks, mainly because it backs stuff up on our Macs without us having to do much of anything to make it regular and consistent. One issue, hoever, with Time Machine is that it only works with supported drives on the network. Like Apple’s own Airport Extreme with Time Machine. What if you have a network-attached storage device that you want to back your data up to?
These drives tend to be a lot less expensive per storage unit than anything Apple sells, but they aren’t directly supported by Mac OS X.To make it so you can see these unsupported drives within the Time Machine system, all you need to do is launch Terminal and then issue the following command:defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1This tweak isn’t officially supported by Apple, and as such won’t have any guarantee of working as well as an Apple solution. However, if you’re willing to risk it, this might be a great thing to try.
WiFi hacking is not easy as people think and it cannot done through some softwares placed on play store or find everywhere over internet. Wifi hacking can be done only through proffesional softwares or linux os. So anyone who want to crack or hack wifi password must use linux os to hack password for free.
This is the only best way to hack password without getting hacked, because many software has placed a backdoor/trojan virus in it so it'll hack your own computer not wifi password. So check the software first and then try to use the software.
So i see alot of people in my facebook id are asking me to how to hack a wifi password. So i think alot and then sharing this article to you. It'll definatly work and you'll get the wifi password and will enjoy free internet access. So let start the tutorial.First we have to install air-crack program in o.s1.
Install aircracksudo apt-get install aircrack-ng2. You need to go in root first. For this purpose type “su –“ and type your password.(3) Now Type Following Command In Terminal Code:# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitoringNote: If some sort of error occurs type “# iwconfig” in a terminal to check for your wireless.4. After that it’s time to scan for a wireless network which we will compromise with educational purpose. This time we will use the command:# airodump-ng wlan0.
Read:If you are Indian then I think you should buy a jio sim card. I mean the internet is so cheap in India in these days. But if you have just decided that I gonna hack my neighbor wifi network or you want to learn hacking then keep readingBut I tell you one thing. Everything is difficult in the starting. Maybe you will not understand anything in starting but If you will not give up then you will learn something new and my thankful after reading this article.I always prefer for hacking.
Kali has all preinstalled tools that are needed in wifi hacking like aircrack-ng (best software to crack a wifi). New tools like Fluxion will work only on Linux.No doubt some hacking software are available for window os and android os but can’t compare these with kali.Ok, no more words in our society there are mainly five types of wifi security available. WEP Security.
WPA Security OR WPA2 Security. MAC ADDRESS Filtering. HIDDEN Network. WPA2 (WPS available). OPEN Network (without password)Can android Hack WifiRead:ok, read my words very carefully.
Android can hack only WPS WiFI security. This is the brutal truth.
If you find a tutorial on how to hack WPA with Android believe me it is fake. You will waste your Time.But Innovation is the main thing. Maybe some people are working on it.what is the problem with android?Problem with android is that wireless card does not support monitor mode. Monitor mode is very important to hack wifi network. You can’t hack WPA without monitor mode.Bottom Line: Don’t waste your Time.sociallocker id=”5997″ /sociallockerHow actually Hackers Hack Wifi passwordHere I have explained the working of all mention hacking of all securities one by one. WEP SECURITYWEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.
This is the first security discovered of Wi-Fi invented in 1999 and crack within the year.It is very easy to crack. Generally, people do not understand the working of hacking WEP wifi but able hack it. There is an initialization vector send over all the network if you capture Initialization vector you crack WEP password.I know you did not understand anything but you did not need to understand the whole work. Aircrack-ng will do magic for you.You can crack it within 20-30 minutes. No matter how strong password is used by your victim.The software you need aircrack Not only WEP using aircrack you can also hack other wifi passwords like WPA, WPA2A.
Aircrack is available for both Window and Linux.How to hack in the window: Good news for window user is that you do not need to run commands. Its interface is GUI (graphical user interface) ?The bad news is that it will take 4-9 hours ?. No matter which window you are using 7,8,8.1 or 10.Hack in Linux: No matter which Linux distribution you are using you need only one tool again aircrack. Find out here.After installing, this there are some simple commands. If you are using Kali on the virtual box, you need to buy a wireless adapter. ProtectionDon’t use WEP security use any other like WPA. You can change security from router configuration.
WPA SECURITY OR WPA2 SECURITYWhen WEP become easy to crack then WPA (Wi-Fi protected access) is discovered. It has two formats WPA and wpa2 (this is advance).
WPA is secure as compare to WEP. But there are chances that you can’t hack it.WEP algorithm is weak but WPA algorithm is strong enough. But still, you can hack using the following 2 techniques.
Word List Attack. Fluxion.
(Best way)Word List Attack: This is the most used method to hack WPA. In this, the hacker creates a wordlist or Dictionary with the help software like crunch.
You just have to give some instructions to crunch how to create wordlist like words max length, minimum length character you want to include etc.After making wordlist, you need software that applies these words as a password. Aircrack is the most famous for Hacking wifi network.It can try 900 words/second or more depending on your system configuration. If your password is your name+anything like a digit, then chances are high that you are already hacked. I mean it is easy to hack that type of wifi network.Fluxion attack:This is my favorite one. In this hacker show WiFi user something like this.
When the user enters the correct password his connection established again.If the user enters the wrong password then he/she will not able to use wifi network until he did not use the correct password.Here is the. MAC ADDRESS FILTERINGIn this only allowed devices are able to connect the network.
You can view the WiFi network and try to connect to the network.Every device has own identity like we have our name same way devices has Mac address.Every device has a unique mac address. With the help of mac, address admin allows only his device to connect the WiFi.
All other devices are unable to connect.You can’t change mac address permanently but you can change it temporarily.To bypass this security hacker just need to know connected device Mac address and then you can change Then the system allows you to connect to the wifi network.Kali will automatically find all connected device to a particular network. After finding it you can change your mac address using macchanger.Window Tutorial: If you are window user sorry you have to know mac address of allowed device manually mean I don’t know how you will find mac address.I will suggest you run Kali Linux. Anyway once you find mac address then you can change your mac here is video tutorialLinux Tutorial: Linux is always preferred for hacking. If you are not running Kali Linux install aircrack-ng first (search on google). After installation follow thisAndroid tutorial: If you are an android user then you have to find mac address like window user. You have to root your phone. After rooting you can change mac address using.
How to protect. Reduce your signal.
Apply any other security with Mac address filtration. Hidden networkAs clear from this name it is hidden nobody can’t see it or connect it after turning on your wifi you have to enter network name manually.In windows os then there is hidden wifi network available then os will show you a symbol of the hidden network. If you try to connect to the network then it will ask you wifi network name.Moral there is no benefit of hiding wifi network. I mean if people find there is a hidden wifi network then first they will try to guess wifi network name.If not they will search on the google and read this article to learn how to hack wifi network.
I don’t like this wifi security.Linux Tutorial:Window tutorial: finding a hidden network name is easy as on Windows as compared to WPA security. Protection. Reduce your wifi network signal. Apply any other security with hidden wifi.
WPS enabledWPS stands for wireless protected Setup but it will insecure your network. It is also known as WPA-PSK. In this, there is 8 digit pin you can use this pin as a password.The router has 8 digit PIN that you need to enter while connecting, the router checks the first four-digit separately and lasts four digits separately which make it very easy to crack by brute force attack.WPS Wi-Fi can be hacked only in 40 minutes using pixie dust with Reaver.Linux tutorial: you need to type some commands for this.
Wifi Hacking Mac Os Terminal Window
As you know Linux is best for any type of hacking. WPA-PSK pin code can by got by aircrack-ng software no need to install in kali and backtrack. This post will help you to know WPA-PSK (include screenshots).Window user: you can crack this within 5 minutes or less. Install and in your window 10,8, 8.1 etc and see this video to bypass this step by step.
How to protect. Don’t enable WPS. OPEN Wi-FiAre thinking what is need of hacking open Wi-Fi. Open network hacking means control full network. Yes, you are right that our college network. To control full Wi-Fi hacker need to hack the router.Every router has the default username and password, and in today’s world more than 90% router has their default password and if the password is changed then a hacker can use brute force attack, word list attack, Man in the middle attack or keylogger to hack the router.Next post. In this post, we will talk about the Metasploit framework. I am sure you have enough heard about Metasploit and maybe still confuse what is this and how to use it?
It is framework mean it is the collection of the number of Softwares. You can gather information, make malware, hack FTP, hack Android, and many other things.
You will know when you use it. It is pre-installed in Kali or parrot OS.
It has paid and free version. Off course, Kali has a free version. Not only in Kali you can install it in the window too. Metasploit is also integrated.
