What’s the difference between a hacker and a cracker?

Lets get this question out of the way right now:

On USENET, calling someone a “cracker” is an unambiguous statement that
some person persistently gets his/her kicks from breaking from into
other peoples computer systems, for a variety of reasons. S/He may pose
some weak justification for doing this, usually along the lines of
“because it’s possible”, but most probably does it for the “buzz” of
doing something which is illicit/illegal, and to gain status amongst a
peer group.

Particularly antisocial crackers have a vandalistic streak, and delete
filestores, crash machines, and trash running processes in pursuit of
their “kicks”.

The term is also widely used to describe a person who breaks copy
protection software in microcomputer applications software in order to
keep or distribute free copies.

On USENET, calling someone a “hacker” is usually a statement that said
person holds a great deal of knowledge and expertise in the field of
computing, and is someone who is capable of exercising this expertise
with great finesse. For a more detailed definition, readers are
referred to the Jargon File [Raymond].

In the “real world”, various media people have taken the word “hacker”
and coerced it into meaning the same as “cracker” – this usage
occasionally appears on USENET, with disastrous and confusing results.

• Posters to the security newsgroups should note that they currently risk
  a great deal of flamage if they use the word “hacker” in place of
  “cracker” in their articles.

Changing windows start button text with your name or your text

Hai friends today i explain how to change text in windows start button

For this we have to follow two steps please go through it..

Step 1 – Modify Explorer.exe File

In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.

The first step is to make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe.

The category we are going to be using is “String Table”. Expand it by clicking the plus sign then navigate down to and expand string 37 followed by highlighting 1033. If you are using the Classic Layout rather than the XP Layout, use number 38. The right hand pane will display the stringtable. We’re going to modify item 578, currently showing the word “start” just as it displays on the current Start button.

There is no magic here. Just double click on the word “start” so that it’s highlighted, making sure the quotation marks are not part of the highlight. They need to remain in place, surrounding the new text that you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry. In my case I used Click Me!

You’ll notice that after the new text string has been entered the Compile Script button that was grayed out is now active. I won’t get into what’s involved in compiling a script, but suffice it to say it’s going to make this exercise worthwhile. Click Compile Script and then save the altered file using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command – Make sure to use the Save As command and choose a name for the file. Save the newly named file to C:\Windows.

Step 2 – Modify the Registry

!!!make a backup of your registry before making changes!!!

Now that the modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open field. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon

In the right pane, double click the “Shell” entry to open the Edit String dialog box. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.

Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.
