One of our guest authors already wrote a post on "Cracking Cpanel passwords", however that method worked for some sites and did not work on others, However, recently avinash mailed me a guest post, which contained two working methods that can be used to crack a Cpanel passwords, I have tested both methods myself and they are working. However, for this method to work, The website on which your shell is uploaded should be already vulnerable to Symlink Bypass (Server Bypass).


Method 1 [Cracking CPanel Passwords]

Requirements:

1.
PHP Backdoor (Shell) installed on a server.
2. Required Files
First create two folder's, Im creating abc & xyz Now i will upload the files to do symlink and do the symlink, Next give 0755 permission to jaguar.pl and run it and put etc/passwd in it, After this will get all the config's now you are done with symlinking the server

 Now go the second folder we created and upload B_F.php and place tour symlink folder link in that And then click on start And you have you cpanels's.

Method 2 [Cracking CPanel Passwords]

Requirements:
1. Shell On The Server
2. Cpanel.py
3. Python already installed on your server.


We have to run the script from command prompt, So therefore we need to create a directory with any name let's say "a" in this case.

How to run the script?

Open command prompt and navigate to the directory where you have placed the script.

Then type cracker.py ww.site.com/abc (this will be our symlinked folder link) c:\a ( this is where it will be saved and then press enter. It will start it's work.

Next It will give you a passwords copy them all and upload a cpanel bruter and paste all the passwords in pass area, For user's go to shell and give command

ls /var/mail

And you will get all usernames paste it in user's area, And click on start.

Ok now lets talk about something different today.. many hackers just deface index pages for fame, many wants to get the hold on the server... some are genious and some are script kiddies... what if you got access to the server with limited permissions... and you have targeted a website on that server... what would you do at that time...!

And the real game STARTS NOW... we will learn how to crack a Cpanel password for all the websites that are hosted on that server or the particular one with the help of this method "Cpanel Cracking/Hacking!"...!!

First of all...we need a cpanel cracking shell on that server to crack the passwords of the websites that are hosted on that server!!

Step 1

First we have to upload cp.php cpanel cracking shell on that server to start our journey...!!

Step 2

Second thing we need, is the mother of this method!! Yes...we need Usernames of the websites and a Extremely capable password dictionary to crack!!

Now lets start...

Grab all the usernames of websites hosted on the website with the help these commands

1- "ls /var/mail"
2- "/etc/passwd"



Now you will see all the usersnames of the websites and the password list you have provided! Just press the "Go" button and just wait and watch your success!


If you have supplied strong enough password list then you will the a good response from the server ;) like this "Cracking success with username "ABC" with password "XYZ"




else it will show you negative response like this "Please put some good passwords to crack username "ABC" :( "

Inshort... the success of cracking usernames is directly proportional to the password dictionary provided  ;)

SEO tools can help speed up your process and save you time, allowing you to concentrate on the important tasks. But with so many out there promising the earth how can you decide what you need and which tools to choose?
To help you out, we’re going to list the best tools for specific SEO jobs. Some of them are free and some require a paid subscription, but most offer a free trial so you can check them out and decide if they’re right for you.
However, don’t go signing up to every tool you see here. First you need to make a SEO plan for your campaign and make sure you follow it through. These tools are here to help you with your campaign, but they won’t do it all for you.
We’ve categorized our 25 tools into the main tasks of an SEO campaign, in the order you’d normally action them, starting with the research phase. You can consider these categorize as your top-level task when creating your plan. And remember, “He who fails to plan is planning to fail”.

Do your research
Before you start making any websites improvements or building links, first you’ll need to do some research. You’ll need to determine which keywords you want to target and this will be based primarily on how much traffic and competition keywords have. It’s also important to remember that you want relevant keywords that are likely to convert into a sale or a lead. Bigger traffic is not always better!

Google AdWords Keyword Tool

Probably the most well-known keyword tool to online marketers, Google’s keyword tool enables you to find related keywords to the ones you enter and see how many searches they get per month, both globally and locally to you.
You’ll be looking for the relevant to your website. You can easily export the data to Excel for manipulation and end up with a great keyword list starting point.
As this tool is freely available, it’s often the first port of call, even for professional SEOs.
Note that the figures it produces aren’t always perfect and you’ll need to understand the difference between exact and broad match when doing your research, but on the whole it’s one of,  if not the best keyword research tools available. Not to mention it’s from the search engine we all want to rank in!!

KeywordSpy


One of the best ways to discover keywords is by analyzing your competitors’. Keyword Spy provides a one-stop-shop for all manner of keyword research. You can easily spy on what your competitors have been optimizing for and also what they’ve been bidding on for Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns. PPC campaigns can often give you a great insight into which keywords convert well, as the competition will have tested this already for you! Alternatives to keyword Spy include Word Tracker and SEMrush.

Micro Niche Finder & Market Samurai


Both these

tools help you find niche and long-tail keyword opportunities. In Micro niche finder you can quickly analyze data from lots of different sources and see special keyword scores such as Soc (Strength of Competition) and OCI (Online Commercial Intention). The OCI value will tell you if people are looking to purchase something or are looking for information.

SimilarSites

 

SimilarSites allows you to find websites that are similar to the one you’re looking to promote. The search results in Google will allow you to find most of your main competitors, but perhaps some of your competitors are targeting different keywords to the ones you are…
By using this tool you can find lots of competitors and then research them to find out what keywords they’re optimizing for. A simple idea, but very useful.

Google AdWords

If you’re promoting a brand new website or a website which hasn’t seen much traffic in the past, consider spending some money on Google Adwords so you can test how keywords convert quickly. There’s nothing worse than promoting a keyword for six months to end up finding it doesn’t convert very well SEO is all about testing to see what works and keyword research is no exception.

Optimize your Site

Once you’ve determined the keywords you want to target, you need to move on to optimizing your website’s content and code. The way you structure your site and the content you place on it helps Google determine what it thinks your site is all about. But there’s a lot to check, especially if you have a dynamic site with thousands of pages. You want to make sure keywords are targeted correctly and that there is nothing getting in the way of Google when crawling your website. the following tools can help you out.


Xenu Link Sleuth

This amazing free tool crawls your website in a similar way to Google and quickly finds broken links and other problems. Can all your web pages be found? Maybe they’re too many clicks away? With Xenu link sleuth you’ll be able to see a good overview of your website’s pages and fix or improve them. Try to get in the habit of running this tool on any new website you creates as it can help lick up simple mistakes that could be embarrassing later down the line.

Google Webmaster Tools

Again another free tool, webmaster tools gives you important feedback about your website from Google itself. You can also configure your website by adding a Google Site Map and setting a preferred domain, and see diagnostics for your website, which include crawl errors and HTML suggestions.

Google PageSpeed Tool

The speed of your website can have a big influence on your rankings, so Google has provided this free tool to measure it, and provides lots of great tips on how to improve things too. Some simple tweaks to your website can make all the difference here and you’ll be making your website visitors happy tool

SEO Powersuite- Website Auditor


A paid tool, Website Auditor is very comprehensive. It at first seems very similar to Xenu, but takes things a lot further and offers simple-to- follow reports for improving your website’s on-site SEO. It also caters for the internal linking of a website and can help you find ways to boost the page rank of pages you feel need more prominence. It will also help you optimize the content of your website and includes tools to analyze what your competitors are doing.
SEOmoz
Probably the best and most well known SEO website / toolset around at present, SEOmoz is found all over the place and for two good reasons. First, it combines great resources and tools to create an awesome place to learn and improve your SEO knowledge. And second, it has a rather cute looking ‘Roger the robot’.
One of the main differentiating factors from other all-in-one SEO tools is that SEOmoz offers amazing resources, training and tips. And if you will still need help there’s the Q&A system where you can ask a professional SEO any question you like.
There are also SEO Webinars where pro members connect directly with the experts behind SEOmoz. Each Webinar lasts for an hour-and-a-half and is based upon a specific SEO or online marketing topic.
Pro members can ask their own questions at the end and you can watch previous Webinars too.
If you want to know more about a website’s backlinks and are missing Yahoo Site Explorer (OSE). This will help you compare your website’s popularity not only in terms of backlinks, but also social mentions and SEOmoz’s own Domain Authority and page Authority metrics.
Finally there’s the SEOmoz community. It’s not only SEOmoz employees who contribute to the SEOmoz website: their users also regularly write in the YouMoz blog, a place where anyone can write an SEO article comments from other users. Some very interesting topics pop up, and every now and then the SEOmoz team likes a post enough to promote it to the main SEOmoz blog.
If you’re looking to learn or improve your SEO, you can’t go far wrong here.

LinkBuilding

There are many websites that offer linkbuilding services in return for your hard earned cash, but that’s not what this list is for. Instead, we’ll assume you’ll be doing your own link building and will be looking for quality links from trusted websites.
The main tasks for linkbuilding are identifying link prospects and implementing outreach to build relationships with the ultimate goal of securing a link. There’s a lot of information to keep track of and the following tools will help make is a lot easier for you.
 
MajesticSEO

MajesticSEO crawls the internet much like Google’s own spiders and indexes it all in its own database. With this massive database majesticSEO is able to provide extremely useful data about your site and your competitor’s sites.
Want to know all the links a competitor has? No problem! Simply run off a quick report and you’ll soon have everything you need to know.
The competitor links tool can help you find links that you can also acquire. It can also help you analyze the techniques your competitors are using and find out why ther’ve got the number one position and you don’t . Maybe they’ve been doing more article directory submissions, or maybe they’ve been doing something naughty like paying for do-follow links? You can dig into the data and find out all sorts of useful information.
Another great aspect of majesticSEO is the Backlink History tool, which enables you to chart this discovery of backlinks over time for multiple websites. This is great for seeing how much SEO effort your competitors are putting in and comparing it to how you’re doing. If you’re down in links per month, then you need to get working!
You may wish to know if your web server is in a bad neighborhood ( you don’t want your website being tarnished with the same brush as other spammy websites ). Using MajesticSEO’s neighborhood tool, all you need to do is enter your domain or IP address and it will provide you with a list of other websites on the same IP address or nearby, which you can then visually check. If you see lots of spammy websites then it might be prudent to consider changing your hosting provider.
MajesticSEO also includes a great tool called Clique Hunter, which can analyze the backlinks of several sites at once. You can use this to report on your site and your competitors at the same time and then identify which links your competitors have that you don’t while filtering out the ones you already have.

Ontolo

Ontolo’s primary function is to help you find relevant and quality link prospects. You let Ontolo know the keywords you want to target and it will scour the internet and come back with lots of prospective for you, all categorized by their type. You can then search thee link prospects to find suitable link opportunities for your campaigns. For example, if you’re looking to do guest posting you can find sites that are likely to accept guest posts and exclude pages from your competitors or sites you have already engaged with.
Finally the Majestic Million tool lists the top one million websites. This can be used to find authoritative link prospects-or you can simply bask in your glory if you find your website on the list! Interestingly the top three websites at the moment are google.com, facebook.com and adobe.com

Buzzstream


Trying to keep on top all the outreach you’ve done via email, Telephone, Twitter and so on can be an enormous task. You can end up with such massive Excel sheets containing all the contact information and reminders to follow up with people that some never get actioned.
Buzzstream solves this problem nicely with a custom online solution that enables you to keep all information in one place and categorize by website and campaign. It also enables you to send emails directly from the system and will collect replies and automatically add them into the contact history.
Plus it can help with link prospecting by automatically finding new websites to connect with everyday. If that’s not enough, it will also do project management and handle tasks for your different team members and track your links to see if they’ve gone live, or been lost.

Social media

Online social activity has been proven to influence search rankings and it’s now becoming more commonplace for social media to be included in SEO campaigns. Although nowhere near as important as link building, those Facebook likes and Twitter tweets can make a difference.

SproutSocial

A company can have so many social media profiles these days-with the likes of Facebook pages.
Twitter accounts, Google Plus and LinkedIn-that it can be difficult to keep on top of them all. Enter SproutSocial, a tool that provides complete social media management. With SproutSocial you can easily run campaigns to promote your offerings and engage with your online communities.

Tracking and Analysis

Fundamentally, SEO is all about testing. You want to know if what you’re doing is working and if you ban better it. So monitoring your results over time is extremely important. You’ll want to monitor everything from your rankings on Google to how much money you’re turning over.

Google analytics


Rankings are all very well and good, but as SEOers we need to remember the end goal, and that’s making money! So although we may have the positions, we need to know if they’re converting and how much money they’re making it doing online payments.
By using Google Analytics goal and e-commerce tracking we can see everything we need to know and adjust our SEO campaign over time as we determine which keywords perform the best from a business perspective.

Management

Trying to manage an entire SEO campaign can be a daunting and difficult task, especially if you have an SEO team all working on a project at the same time. You can consider project management tools such as Microsoft project or Basecamp, but why not use something specifically built for the jobs?

LinkDex


The linkdex platform is made up of many different features. The first main feature is the SEO task and project manager. This simple to use, but very effective, project management area enables you to assign tasks to different team members and easily report on them. Linkdex provides some sample task lists to get you started and you can, of course, make your own. The other great feature is that you can track ranking changes against completed tasks.
The next set of features helps you with your SEO tasks. There’s a backlink analysis system that will help you work out where you’re lacking in backlinks when compared to your competitors and there’s a website optimization system that will score your paged and suggest improvements. Linkdex provides some great analytics also, with a fully fledged keyword rankings checker where you can compare how you’re doing against your competitors. And finally, you can create and export lots of reports in different formats. Great for monthly client reports.

Raven tools


Raven tools are a one-stop-shop for your SEO tool need. The list of tools it includes is so long we couldn’t possibly mention them all here! You can use research tools, contact managers, keyword managers, use data from your Google adwords campaigns, grab Google analytics data and even access the system via their own free iOs app.
It also caters well for different user types. You can give users only the access they need and assign them tasks with little effort, allowing you to fully manage your SEO campaign.
There are also social media tools, content management tools and third-party connections to systems such as BaseCamp and MailChimp.

To make use of the camera there are number apps in itunes store both free and paid. From those i have picked 5 of the best iPhone 5 photo apps.
Create eye-catching snaps on the move from your smartphone. And do let us know which one of these work the best for you.

 

1. Camera+ | $0.99

Developer : tap tap tap | Compatibility : iPhone, iPod touch


Widely considered to be one of the best professional camera apps around Camera+ offers the kind of detailed control and support that many enthusiastic photographers will find very familiar. Things like third guides, shutter control and tinkering with white balance are all here on display for you. Even if you don’t choose to shoot with Camera+ and instead simply edit your camera roll images, there are still no shortage of tricks you can use and fantastic filters to employ  It’s one of the most complete photography apps around and for the price is deeply impressive. If you love the photo taking on your iPhone 5 then you’ll want to ge your hands on this app.

 

2. Instagram | Free

Developer : Burbn, Inc | Compatibility : iPhone, iPod touch


Pretty much a staple on every iPhone these days, so we were pleased to see this app given an iPhone 5 update pretty quickly. Since the ratio of images on Instagram is pretty much set in stone, you’re not getting a huge amount extra in an editing or image capturing sense from the taller screen, but you should reap rewards from the lens and the improved front facing camera. For searching and browsing images you may also find that the sharper Retina display is ideal, making it easier to recognise and pick out the images you like even in their thumbnail form. In short, Instagram is a must-have app. If you haven’t been tempted before, give it a whirl.

 

3. Halftone | $0.99

Developer : Huicy Bits | Compatibility : iPhone, iPod touch, iPad


We love having a little fun with our photos and there are few faster and more entertaining apps that give you great final results than Halftone. While other apps may be able to tweak and manipulate your images in drastic and bizarre ways, Halftone simply gives you a great comic book finish complete with caption, sound effects flashes and more. If there’s geek in your soul begging to be let out, then Halftone is an app you’ll love to play around with. Whether you’re editing your old images or taking one from scratch on your iPhone 5, you can have a lot fun with this app. It’s cheap too, and available on multiple devices.

 

4. Snapseed | $4.99

Developer : Nik Software, Inc | Compatibility : iPhone, iPod touch, iPad


If you want a little more editing control over your photos than you might get from an app like Instagram  then we would definitely recommend picking up Snapseed. This relatively easy to use and yet varied effects app is great for adding things like tilt shift and vintage filters to your old shots, or for taking brand new ones. The excellent touch interface has always been very easy to use on the iPad, and now the extra height or width of the iPhone 5 (depending on its orientation) makes Snapseed even better to use on a smaller screen. The dramatic results you can conjure are worth checking out.

 

5. Hipstamatic | $0.99

Developer : Hipstamatic, LLC | Compatibility : iPhone, iPod touch


Along with compatibility with the iPhone 5, we’ve been pleased to see that the viewfinder on the Hipstamatic app seems a little larger, and easier to use. This is an app that rewards experimentation as you mix film stock, camera types and lenses to create some really cool and inventive images. On the iPhone 5 you have one of the best lenses you could ask for on a smartphone, a wonderfully crisp display screen and a much faster response time for developing images. It’s the perfect combination of fun photography with expert levels of variation and a great device to take all those snaps with.
When we talk about editing, resizing, manipulating of pictures/images most of the people use adobe photoshop program and few other softwares.
But now we have so many other softwares in the market that are free for download and they allow us to edit and manipulate pictures of any type.
Purchase of photo editing softwares is not easy for every one so, we came here with 20 best and useful softwares which allow us to edit photos without spending a penny.
