			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If an attacker knows your administrator user name all he needs to do is to guess your password to get in to your system. Wordpress default administrator user is named &#8216;admin&#8217; and you cant rename it using the WP management panel which makes Wordpress blogs with weak passwords extremely vulnerable, and eventually every password is weak.</p>
<p>You can go into the MySQL database and change the login name of the administrator account to whatever you like.<br />
First backup your database then open up phpMyAdmin and select your Wordpress database, from there select the wp_users table and click the browse tab.<br />
Locate the line with ID set to 1, you can see that the user_login column is set to &#8216;admin&#8217;. Using the Edit tool (Pencil icon) change the user_login (And nothing else) to your desired login name and save your changes.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it, you are now able to log in to your blog as administrator with your unique user name.</p>
<p><strong>Advanced Users:</strong><br />
Instead of browsing through tables and web interfaces you can run this line from your MySQL console of choice, modify the NewLogInName value to your desired login and execute.</p>
<p>UPDATE `wp_users` SET `user_login` = &#8216;<span style="color: #ff0000;">NewLogInName</span>&#8216; WHERE `wp_users`.`ID` =1 LIMIT 1 ;</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_slot = "0763474505";

<script type="text/javascript"

</script></p>
<p><strong>PHP script:</strong><br />
This script will change the admin username for you, edit it and set your desired administrator username. Upload it to the Wordpress home directory and run it.<br />
<strong> Make sure</strong> you <strong>delete</strong> the file from the server when you&#8217;re done.</p>

pkgmgr /iu:TelnetClient
Or go to Start-&#62;Administrative Tools-&#62;Server Manager and add Telnet Client through Add Features
If you&#8217;re looking for Telnet Server, it can also be added but probably shouldn&#8217;t.
Happy telnet&#8217;ing kids.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days the best way to download &#8216;what ever you like&#8217; is using a torrents website, and the best torrent sites are the ones that are not open for the public. Which means that if you want to register for a private torrents site you need to be invited in by an existing member.</p>
<p>The reason you can usually download from private torrent websites so fast is that the members of these private websites must upload back every megabyte they downloaded.</p>
<p>Unfortunately many people around the world cant upload as fast as they download which makes downloading large torrents a bit of a problem. With a 500KB/25KB Internet connection downloading a 50 gigabyte torrent would take a 2-3 days at the most but a month to upload back.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p>There are many ways to fake ratio, the most popular way is to send fake upload data to the tracker - the server that keeps track of the amount of data you upload and download.<br />
My way to fake ratio works the other way around, instead  of faking upload data I&#8217;m going to show you how to fake your download data so the tracker will assume you downloaded a lot less than you really did therefore you will have to upload back a lot less. Using this method you don&#8217;t really fake anything you just control the amount of data that is reported to the tracker, if you will do it wisely you will never get caught and banned from the private website.</p>
<p>So how do you fake bit torrent ratio the smart way? Well it&#8217;s quite simple, you need to block network access to the tracker after you download the amount you want the tracker to register.</p>
<p>First find out the address of the tracker, open the torrent using a bit torrent client (like <a title="utorrent" href="http://www.utorrent.com" target="_blank">utorrent</a>) and look for the tracker&#8217;s address in the properties of the torrent.<br />
For example this torrent&#8217;s tracker is <em>tracker.torrentleech.org</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14" title="torrentproperties" src="http://aviran.org/upload/torrentproperties.jpg" alt="" width="395" height="491" /></p>
<p>The next stage is to block our local machine from communicating with that address, there are many ways to block network traffic to a certain address. You can use a firewall on you local machine or your network router to block network traffic to that address.</p>
<p>Another way to block the access to the tracker is by manipulating DNS, that is the method that will be explained here because it can be done easily on any machine and doesnt requite additional software or hardware.</p>
<p>Windows Users:<br />
You need to edit your hosts file and add an entry that sets the IP address for the tracker to 127.0.0.1</p>
<p>The hosts file is located in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (%systemroot% is an environment variable that points to your Windows directory), open it using notepad and add the following line at the end of the file.</p>
<p><strong>127.0.0.1 dns.address.of.tracker</strong></p>
<p>In our case it would be: 127.0.0.1 tracker.torrentleech.org and the entire hosts file will contain:</p>
<blockquote><p># Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.<br />
#<br />
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.<br />
#<br />
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each<br />
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should<br />
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.<br />
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one<br />
# space.<br />
#<br />
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual<br />
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a &#8216;#&#8217; symbol.<br />
#<br />
# For example:<br />
#<br />
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server<br />
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host</p>
<p>127.0.0.1        localhost<br />
127.0.0.1        tracker.torrentleech.org</p></blockquote>
<p>Linux/Unix Users:<br />
You can do the same thing by editing the /etc/hosts file and restart the network service, although its probably simpler to add a firewall rule.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p>After adding the rule to the hosts file your system will not be able to contact the tracker and update it on the amout of data you downloaded, when you finish downloading your torrent stop the download and add a <strong>#</strong> character at the begining of the line you have added to block the tracker. The <strong>#</strong> sign marks the line as comment and the line is ignored.<br />
After you unblocked the tracker you can upload back the amount of data you let the tracker know you downloaded and you&#8217;re done, your ratio is balanced.</p>
<p><strong>Be Smart<br />
</strong>If you use this technique on every torrent you download you will get busted, use it only on big torrents.<br />
If you want to grab a 50 gigabyte torrent that contains all the seasons of  Lost, first download a few episodes without blocking the tracker and upload back the amount you have downloaded so it would register as a normal download. After you are done balancing your ratio, block the tracker (using a firewall or the hosts file) and continue downloading the rest of the files. Don&#8217;t block the tracker before you start the download again (In case you paused/stopped it), give your bit torrent client a minute to receive the peer list from the tracker.</p>
