[font="Trebuchet MS"]Just today morning I woke up longing for an expected mail in my Gmail mailbox. It wasn't in the Inbox, so I thought of checking the spam mail. But looks like it definitely isn't a great Monday morning for me! When I try to sign in to Gmail, the browser just gets redirected a thousand times and ends up nowhere, still redirecting! There's no 'Loading' page or 'This seems to take longer than usual' page either. There is little internet act

Wireless Security (wep Vs Wpa)
Now when it comes to setting up the security encryption on your wireless router, it seems that most people are using WEP encryption to protect their network. That used to be sufficiant however now a days WEP encryption is easily broken. Using a piece of software called aircrack-ng and wireless drivers patched for injection it is possible for someone to break your encryption cypher with or without a client having succesfully handshaked with the network. The first method the attacker would use it

I have recently been playing around with rainbow tables. If you don't know what they are then look at www.antsight.com/zsl/rainbowcrack/ They are basically a precomplied hash table of all possible values from a particular algorithm. The most common are for the Windows Lanman hashes which can crack any possible Windows SAM in little to no time. My question is are there similar tables circulating for MD5? I got the Windows tables from bit torrent which were around 12 Gb compressed and 64

There are people who claims that orkut (google) it self spread this virus so that people should turn to the new version of orkut, because new version has gone into the category of flop list. i do
there are different opinions about making a back up. there can be made a balance between being easy and being safe. there is almost no thing like being safe in the part of keeping your data safe. the possibility to loose files is very big. and there is almost no possibility to make it completely sure no files and no data and no bit will be lost. the possibilities to loose data are too big. the first mistake is to think that a back up can be made and stored in a computer. a back up in the same c
Be Very Careful With The Recent Firefox Update!
Last thursday I was surprised to see a firefox update, but it downloaded and installed like usual, so I went about my daily business.

So he looked elsewhere for the application he was looking for, and I went back to my tasks. Then later, my screen was attacked by about 5 different antivirus applications saying I was infect

Alright, I've been looking into Free Forum Platforms, people have recommended Simple Machine Forum to me as the best free forum.

Google Vs Yahoo>>>new Computers Vs Older Computers
Google VS Yahoo. The point of this topic is to express your opinions on Google and Yahoo. And how they run on computers THis is my experience : When I am on older computers, I tend to go to Google more often than Yahoo because there is less stuff to load. Also with Google the searches tend to be better. The plus to going to Yahoo is that there is more stuff to see, such as your mail and weather. If your into News, that is there also. But sometimes I get distracted and forget what I was g

To do this you need a tool called UnPlug which is a Firefox Add-On, so you don’t have to be a genius to understand that you need Firefox.

You can install it from here UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where media players are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file. 1.

What Is A Real Virus? And Some Tips To Protection
A virus is just a little programme to sabotage coputer software. They should cause damage to file and databenches. The name is often misinterpreted as an organical lifeform, but it was just taken because the way it infects the system is alike the biological ones. A programme must be able to sabotage, manipulate programmes, and to reproduce itself and infect other data to be called a virus. When an infected programme is started, the circle starts again.

Can Someone Get A Rootkit Certified?
It looks like the famous H.D. Moore is trying to get Metasploit Microsoft Certified for Vista in an article at physorg.com (http://www.physorg.com/news93262491.html). Apparently getting your software certified by Microsoft only costs $500 and is somewhat of a conveyer belt mindless system. The problem with this is Vista and XP, if enabled, only allows signed drivers to be installed. I suppose this is nothing new but having a signed driver gives the comfort of legitimacy to the users and
There’s not many times or places in this world where you and your good friends can come together and hack into a network and not get into trouble and at the end of the day be considered somewhat heroes. I had an excellent opportunity this past week to do just that. Once a year there is a software engineering conference that comes to my town. I have participated for the past few years and the absolute highlight is an event call the Digital Combat Exercise (actually if it weren’t for this, I mo

I have just about had it with ZoneAlarm. It interferes with so much neccessary software. I have no doubt that if I just knew what software to make ZoneAlarm ignore it would solve some of my problems. The problem which has me fed up at the moment is my connectivity with Earthlink DSL. When I go long periods without internet traffic, the Earthlink DSL goes into some kind of sleeper mode and the ZoneAlarm prevents the signal that will wake it up again. So I have to shut down ZoneAlam in order

I occasionally take long trips to visit relatives. One of the things that I do to kill time while driving is to listen to audio books. On one five hour trip I started listening to the Hobbit and I was there before I even knew it. I actually wanted to get back in the car and drive another five hours so I could get through the book faster. In the end I have found that I enjoy listening to book much more than actually reading. I suppose I am more auditory oriented plus I like the idea of doing

I am trying to figure what is wrong with this one copy of Windows that has slowed to crawl since I installed sp2.
