Change Registered Owners

One of the features which Windows doesn't have is the ability to change the owners name or the organization that the system was registered to.  A better solution to this problem is Registry hack.

This Registry hack is very simple. Remember to back up your Registry before you make any changes to it. A Registry with errors can cause your system to run slow, crash, or even not boot at all.

1. Go to Start and search for regedit. Windows XP users will have to go to Start, Run and type in regedit then click okay.

2. Expand the following on the left menu tree:
H_Key_Local_Machine
Software
Microsoft
Current Version

3. On the right you should see a registry key that is called RegisteredOwner. Double click this key and you can change it’s value. This will change the owner’s name.

4. If you want you can also change RegisteredOrganization also. You will double click the key like you did RegisteredOwner and change the value.

5. Close your Registry

To check the if the changes have taken place, you can run Winver from a Run prompt or in Vista you can search for this application.

Ethical Hacker

The definition of an Ethical Hacker is very similar to a Penetration Tester. The Ethical Hacker is an individual who is usually employed with the organization and who can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems using the same methods as a Hacker. Hacking is a felony in the United States and most other countries. When it is done by request and under a contract between an Ethical Hacker and an organization, it is legal. The most important point is that an Ethical Hacker has authorization to probe the target.

The goal of the ethical hacker is to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the while staying within legal limits. This philosophy stems from the proven practice of trying to catch a thief, by thinking like a thief. As technology advances and organization depend on technology increasingly, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival.

If hacking involves creativity and thinking 'out-of-the-box', then vulnerability testing and security audits will not ensure the security proofing of an organization. To ensure that organizations have adequately protected their information assets, they must adopt the approach of 'defense in depth'. In other words, they must penetrate their networks and assess the security posture for vulnerabilities and exposure.
