NTFS vs. FAT

To NTFS or not to NTFS—that is the question. But unlike the deeper questions of life, this one isn’t really all that hard to answer. For most users running Windows XP, NTFS is the obvious choice. It’s more powerful and offers security advantages not found in the other file systems. But let’s go over the differences among the files systems so we’re all clear about the choice. There are essentially three different file systems available in Windows XP: FAT16, short for File Allocation Table, FAT32, and NTFS, short for NT File System.

FAT16
The FAT16 file system was introduced way back with MS–DOS in 1981, and it’s showing its age. It was designed originally to handle files on a floppy drive, and has had minor modifications over the years so it can handle hard disks, and even file names longer than the original limitation of 8.3 characters, but it’s still the lowest common denominator. The biggest advantage of FAT16 is that it is compatible across a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows 95/98/Me, OS/2, Linux, and some versions of UNIX. The biggest problem of FAT16 is that it has a fixed maximum number of clusters per partition, so as hard disks get bigger and bigger, the size of each cluster has to get larger. In a 2–GB partition, each cluster is 32 kilobytes, meaning that even the smallest file on the partition will take up 32 KB of space. FAT16 also doesn’t support compression, encryption, or advanced security using access control lists.

FAT32
The FAT32 file system, originally introduced in Windows 95 Service Pack 2, is really just an extension of the original FAT16 file system that provides for a much larger number of clusters per partition. As such, it greatly improves the overall disk utilization when compared to a FAT16 file system. However, FAT32 shares all of the other limitations of FAT16, and adds an important additional limitation—many operating systems that can recognize FAT16 will not work with FAT32—most notably Windows NT, but also Linux and UNIX as well. Now this isn’t a problem if you’re running FAT32 on a Windows XP computer and sharing your drive out to other computers on your network—they don’t need to know (and generally don’t really care) what your underlying file system is.

The Advantages of NTFS
The NTFS file system, introduced with first version of Windows NT, is a completely different file system from FAT. It provides for greatly increased security, file–by–file compression, quotas, and even encryption. It is the default file system for new installations of Windows XP, and if you’re doing an upgrade from a previous version of Windows, you’ll be asked if you want to convert your existing file systems to NTFS. Don’t worry. If you’ve already upgraded to Windows XP and didn’t do the conversion then, it’s not a problem. You can convert FAT16 or FAT32 volumes to NTFS at any point. Just remember that you can’t easily go back to FAT or FAT32 (without reformatting the drive or partition), not that I think you’ll want to.

The NTFS file system is generally not compatible with other operating systems installed on the same computer, nor is it available when you’ve booted a computer from a floppy disk. For this reason, many system administrators, myself included, used to recommend that users format at least a small partition at the beginning of their main hard disk as FAT. This partition provided a place to store emergency recovery tools or special drivers needed for reinstallation, and was a mechanism for digging yourself out of the hole you’d just dug into. But with the enhanced recovery abilities built into Windows XP (more on that in a future column), I don’t think it’s necessary or desirable to create that initial FAT partition.

When to Use FAT or FAT32
If you’re running more than one operating system on a single computer (see Dual booting in Guides), you will definitely need to format some of your volumes as FAT. Any programs or data that need to be accessed by more than one operating system on that computer should be stored on a FAT16 or possibly FAT32 volume. But keep in mind that you have no security for data on a FAT16 or FAT32 volume—any one with access to the computer can read, change, or even delete any file that is stored on a FAT16 or FAT32 partition. In many cases, this is even possible over a network. So do not store sensitive files on drives or partitions formatted with FAT file systems.

hope u understand the difference….

How to Convert FAT to NTFS file system


To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps……

Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt.

In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd and then click OK.

At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.

Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.

enjoyyyy..

Hacking DSL Router

This tutorial will explain to you how to hack someone’s internet account thru his router.This hack is based on a secuirty exploit of the router’s default password and the stupidity of the user.Explanation: when somebody buy’s a xDSL/Cabel router, the router is set to manufactory defaults like IP range, user accounts, router table, and most important the security level. The last one we will exploit.Most routers will have a user friendly setup menu running on port 23 (telnet) and sometimes port 80 (http) or both.This is what we are looking for.
Step 1.
Get a multie IP range scanner like superscanner (superscanner is fast and easy to use, get it here).Get a xDSL/Cabel user IP range. This is a single user IP 212.129.169.196 so the ip range of this Internet provider is 212.129.xxx.xxx most likely it will be from 212.129.1.1 to 212.129.255.255 .To keep your scanning range not to big it’s smart to scan from 212.129.1.1 to 212.129.1.255 it also depends of your bandwidth how fast the scan will be finished.The IP adres above is just a example any IP range from a xDSL/Cabel provider can be used for this hack.before you start scanning specify the TCP/IP ports. You know that we are looking for TCP port 23 (telnet) and TCP port 80 (http) so edit the list and select only port 23 and port 80.Now start scanning and wait for the results.When finished scanning look for a IP that has a open port 23 and 80. Write them down or remember them.
Step 2.
Way 1
This is important: Most routers have connection log capability so the last thing you want to do is making a connection with your own broadband connection so use a anonymouse proxy server or dailup connection with a fake name and address (56.9 modem for example) when connection to the victim’s router.Now get a telnet program. Windows has a standard telnet program just go to start, select run and type down “telnet” without the “, click or enter OK.Select “connect” than “Remote system” enter IP adres of the victim in the “host name” field press OK.wait for your computer to make a connection. This way only works when the router has a open telnet port service running
Way 2
This is important: Most routers have connection log capability so the last thing you want to do is making a connection with your own broadband connection so use a anonymouse proxy server or dailup connection with a fake name and adres (56.9 modem for example) when connection to the victim’s router.Open a Internet explorer windows enter the IP address of the victim after the http:// in the address bar.This way only works when the router has a open hyper text transfer protocol (http) service running.
Step 3
Entering the userfriendly setup menu. 9 out of 10 times the menu is protected by a loginname and password. When the user doesn’t change any security value’s the default password stay’s usable.So the only thing you have to do is find out what type of router the victim uses. I use this tool: GFILanguard Network Security Scanner. (get it here) is good. When you find out the type of router that’s been used get the wright loginname and password from this list (get it here. not every router is on the list)
Default router password list
Step 4
When you have a connection in telnet or internet expolorer you need to look for user accounts.PPP, PPtP, PPeP, PPoP, or such connection protocol. If this is not correct look for anything that maybe contains any info about the ISP account of the user.go to this option and open it. Most likely you will see a overview of user setup options.Now look for the username and password.In most case the username will be freely displayed so just write it down or what ever….The password is a different story. Allmost always the password is protected by ********* (stars) in the telnet way there is noway around it (goto another victim) but when you have a port 80 connection (http). Internet connection way open click right mouse key and select “View source” now look for the field where the star are at. most likely you can read it because in the source code the star are converted to normal ASCII text.If not get a “******** to text” convertor like snadboy’s revelation V.2 (get it here) move the cursor over the ****** and….It’s a miracle you can read the password.Now you have the username and password. There a million fun thing to do with that but more about that next time.check the tutorial page freqently.
Tips.
Beware on most routers only one person can be loget on simultaneous in the router setupmenu.Don’t change anything in the router if you don’t know what you are doing.
