After so many times hacking into other peoples wireless router, I managed to come out with solutions to make wireless router more secure to hackers. Here is the tips :
1. Change default password for router 2. Use WPA encryption for added security 3. Do not Broadcast SSID 4. Enable MAC Filtering 5. Change password on regular basis 6. Always update your router firmware with the latest version 7. Disable remote admin on wireless router
"In 2007, a denial-of-service attack was launched every 53 minutes. Earlier this year, the loss of an undersea cable resulted to the loss of Internet service for entire regions. Businesses that rely to any measure on the Web must secure their businesses against the possibility of large-scale cyber-attacks and disasters, writes strategic management consultant Kevin Coleman."
Are you doing the right thing to protect your computer against such attacks? If the answer is "No" then follow the recommendation below on how to protect your computer. We will be using Windows XP as an example.
Download Firewall
You will have to download software based firewall to protect your computer. I recommend using Comodo Firewall PRO since the software itself not only protect your computer against intrusion but also protect against dangerous malware. It is also comes with antivirus scanner. Best of all, its free. You can download Comodo Firewall PRO here.
Comodo Firewall PRO screenshot
Create Password For Administrator Account
Many users use blank password for Administrator account. Hackers can easily gain full access to the system. For security purpose, create a password with minimum 8 character and use numbers and symbol when creating the password.
example:
i) GOOD Password
cut7%ter
$4!asd/5
ii) BAD Password
password
admin
123456
Disable File & Print Sharing in Network Connection
1. Click Start>Control Panel>Network Connections
2. Right click on the network device & select properties

This article describes how to recover a Windows XP system that does not start because of corruption in the registry. This procedure does not guarantee full recovery of the system to a previous state; however, you should be able to recover data when you use this procedure. Warning Do not use the procedure that is described in this article if your computer has an OEM-installed operating system. The system hive on OEM installations creates passwords and user accounts that did not exist previously. If you use the procedure that is described in this article, you may not be able to log back into the recovery console to restore the original registry hives. You can repair a corrupted registry in Windows XP. Corrupted registry files can cause a variety of different error messages. See the Microsoft Knowledge Base for articles about error messages that are related to registry issues. This article assumes that typical recovery methods have failed and access to the system is not available except by using Recovery Console. If an Automatic System Recovery (ASR) backup exists, it is the preferred method for recovery. Microsoft recommends that you use the ASR backup before you try the procedure described in this article.Note Make sure to replace all five of the registry hives. If you only replace a single hive or two, this can cause potential issues because software and hardware may have settings in multiple locations in the registry.
MORE INFORMATION When you try to start or restart your Windows XP-based computer, you may receive one of the following error messages: Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate System error: Lsass.exeWhen trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.
Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting The procedure that this article describes uses Recovery Console and System Restore. This article also lists all the required steps in specific order to make sure that the process is fully completed. When you finish this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the state before the problem occurred. If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you do not have to follow the procedures in parts two and three. You can go to part four.
Part one In part one, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry files at their existing location, and then copy the registry files from the repair folder to the System32\Config folder. When you have finished this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore any changes and settings that occurred after the Setup program was finished are lost.To complete part one, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer. Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so. 2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console. 3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console. 4. When you are prompted to do so, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER. 5. At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
6. Type exit to quit Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed to the C:\Windows folder. Make sure to change C:\Windows to the appropriate windows_folder if it is a different location.If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step five, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console: batch regcopy1.txtWith the batch command in Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file sequentially. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands.
Part two To complete the procedure described in this section, you must be logged on as an administrator, or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you are using Windows XP Home Edition, you can log on as an administrative user. If you log on as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in Safe mode. To start the Windows XP Home Edition computer in Safe mode, follow these steps.Note Print these instructions before you continue. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Safe Mode. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from Knowledge Base article KB309531. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.
1. Click Start, click Shut Down (or click Turn Off Computer), click Restart, and then click OK (or click Restart). 2. Press the F8 key. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the Startup menu. 3. Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate Safe mode option, and then press ENTER. 4. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER. In part two, you copy the registry files from their backed up location by using System Restore. This folder is not available in Recovery Console and is generally not visible during typical usage. Before you start this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:
1. Start Windows Explorer. 2. On the Tools menu, click Folder options. 3. Click the View tab. 4. Under Hidden files and folders, click to select Show hidden files and folders, and then click to clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. 5. Click Yes when the dialog box that confirms that you want to display these files appears. 6. Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display a list of the folders. If is important to click the correct drive. 7. Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is unavailable and appears dimmed because it is set as a super-hidden folder.Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore{87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}".
P/S: This notes comes in handy when you cannot boot to windows. If you unsure about the procedure just let me know.
