Security loophole in ES Security Manager- Android App


ES Security Manager is one of the top rated security application for android with more than 250000 downloads. Today I found a
security loophole which we can access the phone even after it remotely locked by ES Security Manager.

Locking the phone remotely via ES SM:
When your phone is lost, send a special SMS to it using any other phone. Then your phone will be locked and the information will be sent to your Gmail automatically.

locking SMS format is: !ES! your password
You need the predefined password to unlock it. This what the company says.

But today I unlocked the locked phone very easily by using this very very simple trick.
try to switch off your ES locked Android phone, if not possible then remove the battery then re fix it. Its unlocked!!!

Create God Mode in Windows Vista/7

A new feature called “God Mode” has been making the rounds on blogs, news websites, tweets,Windows based Forums etc over the last few days. Apparently you decide to call it “God Mode” Just a look behind the scenes.

Impaired Facts of God Mode

It is a special shell folder called “All Tasks” that holds a list of all available Control Panel Tasks, which is used as the source of the “Control Panel” search results seen in the Start menu and Control Panel itself.

How To Create:

Method 1:

1. Create a new folder and name it as below(instead of "God Mode" you can use any other term as name)

God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

2. The icon will be changed automatically to Control Panel’s icon. Now open the folder and see themagic of Windows Registry!


Method 2:

Create a shortcut with following path and set desired icon:

explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Note: Sometimes…it kills explorer.exe using Method 1! probably Windows Vista x64 editions. Therefore I suggest to use Method 2.
To get rid of this issue, Boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt and delete that folder. For eg. You created a folder Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} on desktop, So either navigate to Desktop folder execute the following command:

RmDir “Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”

Or type the absolute path of folder, like-

RmDir “C:\Users\\Desktop\Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”
