Tips For New blogger

2008-01-18T08:15:00.011-08:00

When starting a blog it's hard to get visitors especially at the begining. First you need to have some content on your blog around 10 posts it will be enough to start, in my opinion. You'll also need a nice theme and make sure your main text part(posts) will have a readable font(size and color). Here are some tips to use to get visitors

- Tell your friends about your blog and encourage them to comment and to tell their opinions and also tell them to tell their friends about it
- Join popular forums such as Sitepoint, Digitalpoint and others, make link exchanges with other blogs, add your site on your signature and post
- Post interesting and useful articles and post as much as you can, show your visitors that you care about them
- Post 100% unique content, don't copy others content
- Reward your commentors and visitors with prizes, add the top commentors plugin
or make contests with prizes for commentors
- You can pay for some reviews on other blogs on the same area
- Comment on other blogs and make yourself and your blog known

Make sure your blog is finished when you start to promote it. Unfinished pages such as "About us" may affect your blog's image.

Blogger Strategy

2008-01-18T08:15:00.010-08:00

f you have one blog or various or many blogs (based on business or not – profit or non profit) you have to be focused and have a clear objective that drive you to get what you want or more, but never less. Also plan for blogging is definitely necessary for success; otherwise you will fail in three month.

However one of the main and vitals blogging strategies is that you need to know the “Blogosphere”, that is, the blogging media and consumer generated media, because blogging consist in real people sharing their own experiences. You need to keep relevant content consistently and provide value and enjoyment to readers which are looking exactly what you are able to provide.

Another important strategy to grow and increase on the blogging business or blogging culture is identify and select the best person to write your blog. If you have a complex product or service you have to select qualified personal to write your blog about your products; otherwise if your product is simple and your customer won’t make a lot of questions you don’t need specialized writers, just who person which know what they are doing. A suitable platform for publishing is an important blogging strategy. Your platform should be secure, easy to use and integrate with your existing website.

Optimize your content for search engines, such as Yahoo and Google. Identify key phrases through keyword research and study the techniques of the search engine optimization. If you don’t have idea what I’m talking about you can hire the services of a search engine optimizer. Currently, optimize the content of your blog is a vital activity for the competitive market.

Furthermore, you need to initiate a honest conversation and interaction with your audience. Many peoples don’t like fakes promotions and other similar activities. It put your blog in risk to be ignored. If you are honest you can remain customers and keep your audience happy.

In my opinion something that help us to save our reputation before the audience is write in our blogs a guidelines or a policy which contain clearly the terms of interaction between blog owners and readers.

Firefox & IE Prompt You To Remember Passwords - Do You Say Yes ?

2008-01-18T08:15:00.004-08:00

When you type a password into any web form, both Internet Explorer and Firefox prompt whether you would like them to remember your password. If that’s a personal computer, chances are high that you will click Yes and the password is then saved in the web browser.

This “Remember Me” option in web browsers is useful but it actually puts your login credentials at serious risk especially in Firefox.
View stored passwords in Internet Explorer:
Though IE stores your passwords in encrypted form in the Windows Registry database, anyone can easily view your passwords using a free 35kb tool called IE PassView.
The tool automatically displays a list all auto-complete entries saved inside IE. See screenshot.

View stored passwords in Firefox:
With Firefox, it gets much simpler and anyone who knows how to use a mouse can see all your passwords stored inside Firefox.The route is Tools -> Options -> Security -> Show Passwords. And there you have all the passwords that you ever asked Firefox to remember for you.

Even that short visit to a nearby coffee vending machine could leak your identity as all it takes is few seconds for anyone to view your secret passwords. To keep yourself safe, uncheck “Prompt me to save passwords” in Internet Explorer and “Set Master Password” in Firefox.

Copy Videos from YouTube to Google Video Directly (or vice-versa)

2008-01-18T08:15:00.003-08:00

Imagine a similar service for internet video sharing sites (like YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, etc) that lets you to copy videos (any video) from one site to another but without downloading the videos to the hard-drive. [so it works even if you are on a very slow dial-up connection]

Hey!Spread today launched a new feature today that allows you to cross-post videos to that are already on the web - you could always do this by uploading videos from the hard-drive but this new method is about cross-posting videos that are already online.

In a nutshell, if you have clip of YouTube that you want to transfer to your MySpace, Google Video or DailyMotion account, you can do so easily with Hey!Spread. You just need the URL of the YouTube video and Hey!Spread will "spread" the video wherever you like.

heyspread.com [supports google video, dailymotion, youtube, myspace, etc]

Does Your Computer Take Too Long To Boot Up ?

2008-01-18T08:15:00.002-08:00

If your Windows PC is taking a lot of time to start-up, chances are that too many programs and Windows services are configured to launch automatically when you log on.

To fix this issue, you can either manually clear the start-up folder and registry entries or just download the excellent Autoruns 9.0 utility from Microsoft.

Autoruns shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and the entries are in the order in which Windows processes them.

You can select the services, executables and registry entries that may be responsible for the long start-up time and uncheck them to disable.

Send Yourself an Email in the Future Using Google Calendar

2008-01-18T08:15:00.001-08:00

Ever wanted to send yourself emails that are scheduled for delivery sometime in the future - say ten years from now ?

Now there are some services that allow you to send email messages with a future send date but there aren’t any guarantees that the email will get delivered to your Inbox on the scheduled date as that service itself may not stick around for that long a period.

Therefore a more reliable solution for sending future emails to yourself is to create an event reminder in any web based calendar from Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft or AOL - some of these companies may merge in the future but they’ll definitely be around in some form in the coming decades.

To compose an email with a future date, just create a new event in any of the web calendars and set the event date same as the email delivery date. Then set an email reminder 5 minutes from the start of the event.

You can use the same trick to schedule SMS messages in the future as all web calendars can send event alerts to your mobile phone.

I prefer Google Calendar or Windows Live Calendar over Yahoo! Calendar since the latter only permits your to create events within 7 years while the Google or MSN impose no such restriction.

Monetizing your blog

2008-01-18T08:15:00.000-08:00

A very important part for bloggers is this part of monetizing your blog. This is the reason why many people start blogging. Of course most of them think that making money from blogging it's easy and this is why most of them are failing.

To start monetizing your blog I think you must have either a good pagerank (PR5 or higher) or a high number of daily visitors(800-1000+), rss subscribers and so on. When you have a high page rank you can sell links on your site(through Text Link Ads for example) and when you have high number of visitors you can sell advertising easily. It would be better if you can find private buyers and you can offer them discounts if they buy one spot for more than one month. This is how you start long relationships with other people and this can only bring you benefits.

You can also sell reviews on your blog through PayPerPost or ReviewMe. I prefer more PayPerPost not only because a customer can easily order a review through the "payperpost" button but you can also set the price for the review which on ReviewMe is set automatically and sometimes can be higher than the real price.

Another way of monetizing your blog can be using Google Adsense. In my opinion adding Google Adsense on your blog especially when you are at the begining (with the blog) it is a bad thing because you don't make too much money and your visitors will run away. Of course you can add a small Adsense banner but not to overdoing it.

Download Videos from Any Site: A Simple Hack

2008-01-18T08:12:00.038-08:00

All of us daily visit some site that has video, but due to slow internet connections or video loading time the pleasure of watching the video is reduced. There is also a desire to save the video on our hard disks. There are several ways in which you can download videos from sites, watch them at your leisure and any number of time. These include:

* VideoDownloader Firefox Extension, Almost all of us kniow about this, this extension will download videos from a select set of video hosting websites

* You can access KeepVid, simply paste the url of the page holding the video, it will download the video for you.

* The following is simple hack on how to download a video from any site (at least for now !) I hope this helps you.....

STEP I
Open the link that is hosting the video, right click and view the source file of the page

STEP II

Press CTRL+F to search for .wmv or .rm extension files, these have been highlighted in the image below

We have to understand that link is for the directory / folder that is storing the video file and the main folder is the home page url. Copy this link.

STEP III

Go to the homepage of the site, paste this link after the home page url. FOr example: if the home page is http://www. abcd.com/index.html, your new link will look like http://www.abcd.com/video/xyz.wmv

Click go, media player (either Windows Media Player or Real Player or any other player that you use) will pop up. Close the player.

Go to File, click Save Web Page.

Click Save

Download It And you have yours video

Magic Tricks in Firefox web browser and some Tips you should know to maximize your surfing experience

2008-01-18T08:12:00.037-08:00

Jump to Tab
Press Ctrl+1-9 [ any number from 1 to 9 that'll make you jump to that tab window - Yes, this is firefox ]

Stop Firefox to stuck
If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us and you feel it is working slow and painfully taking too much of virtual memory. Go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. Right click and select modify and change value to 15000 especially for computer connected to fast internet connections - slow dial up connections for many linux users I recommend using more memory as you may have a large swap memory ( RAM in windows ).
For 512GB or 1GB try 15000(MB) instead of default 50000 (MB)

Stop Firefox Thinking delay
Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Change it to “ nglayout.initialpaint.delay ” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the internet browser waits before it acts on the information it receives.

Customize Tab close preferance
Type 'about:config' in address bar ( Where you type www.yoursite.com etc. ). Edit the preference for “browser.tabs.closeButtons”. Here are the meanings of each value:

* 0: Display a close button on the active tab only
* 1:(Default) Display close buttons on all tabs
* 2:Don’t display any close buttons
* 3:Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

It will appear like this given in steps

step 1 : about:config
step 2: browser.tabs.closeButtons
step 3 : Right click on " browser.tabs.closeButtons " - and click "Modify"
step 4 : Use " 0" for close button to appear in one tab

Use any Search engines like google.com or wikipedia.org from your address bar
This applies with Bookmarks also.
First for keywords.
Step 1 Find any search engine - in this case - I'll open google.com - right click on the search bar - menu opens up
Step 2 Click on add a keyword search( here is the catch - Why haven't you seen this before and why have you been so afraid to click)
Step 3 Start filling the box - fill anything but remember in the " Keyword " box you should type " the letter or word you'll use to access the search engine "

e.g in brief - google.com > right click on search bar > click on "Add a keyword search" from the drop down menu > name = google , keyword = g > press ok!

Now go to your address bar ( where you type www.google.com or any site ) and type "g index.of mp3 " g is the google search keyword you wrote before in the dialog box and index.of mp3 is your search > you can do this with any search engine ( Just copy it from here ) You will now be seeing a google search .Viola! it's actually quiet simple.

You can also do this with saving a entire location ; instead of using a search bar now you'll be saving a complicated address like blogger.com/..../234523/asdfj - Hope you understood what a complicated address is. So now move forward.

Step 1 Go to "Bookmarks" in the Menu bar
Step 2 Right click on " Get bookmark add-on " and then fill the dialog box when filling the dialog box the most important thing is the location and keyword. In the location you'll fill the complicated URL ( blogger.com/..../.... ) you want to save > and after that use a simple keyword (remember (to make Logical keywords ( just for you to remember ) If you are trying for the first time don't be scared.)) Press Ok. Now just like a keyword search type the letter or anything you used as keyword > type it in the address bar > your whole link should open up.

e.g I'll type ar (in the address bar)
and the whole address given below comes up ( In this case my Ranking of Alexa )
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/bethefriend.blogspot.com

I'll soon be adding screen shots on different subjects. Words can explain a lot of thing but so can pictures with a bigger impact and ease of learning.
Sites worth visiting
Add-on you should have try

1. Cool iris - A prefetch preview without moving away from web page
2. Faster Fox - Makes internet works faster
3. Tor - Anonymous browsing
4. Tiny - Menu bar shortens

How To Make A Keylogger & Hack Passwords Using It!!!

2008-01-18T08:12:00.033-08:00

How to hack yahoo, msn, orkut, gmail or any websites login user name & password anything, you can hack anything using keylogger,keylogger is also known as keystroke logger keylogger is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types ...

How To Make A Keylogger & hack passwords of anysite using this!!!
I ll show u step by step process for successfully creating keylogger, sending it, and receiving information using Ardamax Keylogger. Now, in this guide, I only use one method of receiving information, and that's an FTP. I also do not protect the files.

Process begins Click here you will move to a Adramax site and scroll down the page and Download the free trial version.

After downloading, open the program and install it. Simple enough, right? After installing, go to wherever you installed it at, and open it. It should open at the bottom right corner of your screen, down by the time. If not, press ctrl+shift+alt+h. Now, leave that alone.

Next, Click here and download the exact serial

Now, open it, and it should give you a name and a jumble of letters and numbers.

Go back to the Ardamax icon at the bottom right, and right-click it.

Click the "Enter Registration Key" button.

Use your serial/crack to unlock the full version. Congratulations, you are now ready to make your first deployment package.

~NOTE~ If u interested in attaching a keylogger for an already existed file, move on and just place it on ur desktop.

~NOTE~ Again, right click the icon at the bottom-right.

Click "Remote Installation".

Click next.

Further if ur interested in attaching ur keylogger for an already existing file, click the box which says that "Append keyloggers engine "

If u tick it, click Browsee, and select The file.

If ur not yet satisfied then ,move down. Then Installations folder on the target- computer needs to remain Windows System Folder for added security, so leave it be

You can add an additional component which u like i leave it mine as "log viewer" as i want to grab are da p/w's for gamez

From this point, Click next.

Now, this part is self explanatory. I tick all of the boxes, as to hide it from everything visible, otherwise they can just see it and be like "Wtf", uninstall, etc.
Can't have that, now can we?

Click next.

For Security, do what you want. I leave all of it as-is and click next again.

Now, untick the "Check for updates" box, else it will check for updates on their computer and they will know that they are bugged.

Click next.

Tick the "Start in hidden mode" box, and leave the "Run on windows startup" as-is.

You may pick a date to self destruct, if you like. Sounds noisy, right? It simply removes itself on selected date. If not, leave it alone, and it will never self destruct.

Click next.

Tick the "Send logs every.." box, and choose how frequently you would like to recieve information that has been sent.

Select 'FTP' and de-select everything else as a delivery method.

You may choose what you want to see. I have taken " screenshots". as it cause lagging .
You Leave that 'log format' alone.

You can chose to send logs if it is exceeding to a certain size, or if ur interested in send no matter wat, untic the box, wat i have done.
Continue on! (next.)

Now the fun part. -_-. Head on over to: http://phpnet.us/

Make an account, etc etc.

Save your FTP Account name and password. You'll need it in a moment. This site will be the site that holds all information recieved by the keylogger. When you're done, scroll down a bit. Under "FTP Accounts", click "File Manager".

Near the top, click the "New Dir" button, and create a directory by any name you want. My favorite is "scrapur". Now, hold that thought. Bring the keylogger back.
In Ftp Host, put in: ftp.phpnet.us
In "Remote Folder", put in the new directory's name you made. So, in this scenario, "lolbeans" without the "'s.

Fill in your Username and Password.

I left That "Passive Mode checked" as I'm not aware of what it does, rofl. :[

You can leave That port also alone . It's default.

You have to be sure that everything till now is correctly done by u , click it on test. It should tell you it all went through. And to double check, you can refresh your open window. Click your "scrapur" directory and there should be a test file in it.

Click next, if you're still alive.

Tick anything and everything you want. Click Next.

If you selected screenshots to be enabled, pick how you want them delivered. Click next. If not, ignore this step.

Browse the page were you want to place the keylogger. you have a plus point of changing the icon, which is nifty. If u want to apologies to ur friend, u can change & make ur own icon just goto notepad and name it as "Apology", thats it you are done with it. ClickNext.

This screen will go over with you everything that you have chosen. Make sure it's all correct.

Click Finish.

Now, if you appended the keylogger to something, you're going to need to put the "install" (feel free to rename it so it's not so obvious) and appended file into a .zip or .rar file.

If not, you have the simple "Install" on your desktop. Also, feel free to rename it to something like "Apology" or "OMFGFunnypicture!!!.jpg"

Upload the file or .rar/.zip somewhere, and let your target download it. They will double click it, and on their end, nothing will happen, but secretly, they have been keylogged.

Check your FTP Directory that you made as frequently as you told it to send logs, and you'll have everything you need.

Feel free to test it out on yourself. Reply me if you Like It .

USB Device not Recognized

2008-01-18T08:12:00.026-08:00

Firstly, it's recommended that you make sure every one of your motherboard drivers are completely up-to-date Run regedt32.exe and navigate to;

HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Usb

Create the Usb key if it doesn't already exist. Under this key, create a new DWORD value called DisableSelectiveSuspend

A long shot perhaps, but I recall having similar problems with a USB hub built into my Microsoft keyboard and adding this key seemed to solve it. and give it a value of 1. Then restart the PC.

Alternatively, removing all entries relating to USB in Device Manager and all associated USB drivers will force XP into refreshing the USB driver stack.

Begin by unplugging all USB devices, then use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to uninstall any USB driver software. Next, boot up into safe mode and go to Device Manager.

2008-01-18T08:12:00.025-08:00

You need to go into firefox configuration by enter about:config in the address bar.

Tip 1:Type network.http.pipelining in the filter bar and set it to true.

Tip 2:Type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests in the filter bar. The default value is 4. Change it to 8.

Tip 3: Type network.http.proxy.pipelining in the filter bar and set it to true.

Tip 4:Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter bar and set it to true.

Tip 5:Type plugin.expose_full_path in the filter bar and set it to true.

Tip 6:Create a new integer named nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This is the amount of waiting time for browser to wait before it process the information received. So, we set it to 0 means it acts immediately when receives informations.

Tip 7: Create a new integer named content.notify.backoffcount and set its value to 5. This preference controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading.

Tip 8: Create a new integer named ui.submenuDelay and set its value to 0. This preference controls the time a menu takes to open a sub-menu.

Tip 9: Create a new boolean named content.interrupt.parsing and set the value to true. This preference controls whether the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events.

Tip 10: Create a new integer named content.max.tokenizing.time and set its value to 2250000.

Tip 11:Create a new integer named content.notify.interval and set its value to 750000. This preference specifies the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows.

Tip 12:Create a new boolean named content.notify.ontimer and set its value to true. This preference specifies whether to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval.

Tip 13:Create a new integer named browser.cache.memory.capacity and set its value to 65536. This set the cache memory of firefox so that when firefox load a page, the image can be saved in cache memory so that firefox no need to rerender it to be redisplayed.

System has recoverd from serious error

2008-01-18T08:12:00.024-08:00

Whenever Windows XP encounters a problem (that it thinks is serious even if you did not do anything unusual) it creates a dump file. Next time you reboot, you most likely see this error message. Clicking on more information shows error signature and other clumsy details. Typically minidump would be stored in \WINDOWS\MINIDUMP directory. It is not so easy to decipher this information. Best thing to do is to go to Windows Online Crash Analysis site at http://oca.microsoft.com and submit report ( or check status if you have already submitted the report). You may need to signon with Microsoft .Net Passport and if you don't have you may need to create one by supply some basic information about yourself..
Following are some of actions that you can take to avoid this error from cropping up.

Temporarily disabling error reporting:
Right-clock on my computer, select properties, advanced tab, error reporting button - turn on the "no error reporting" check box and turn off the "but notify me" option.

Disable Virtual Memory:
Right-click on my computer, select properties, advanced tab, performance settings, advanced tab, virtual memory "change" button. Note down the current VM settings (system managed or any customized size. Turn on the "no paging file" bullet, and press the set tab.

Delete the paging file:
Reboot. Verify that the option reads 0 kb for page file. Use folder options on control panel or explorer "tools" pulldown menu & go to "view" tab. Turn off check box to permit viewing of system files. Now explorer on the root of C drive (or what ever drive letter you page file was set to use), should show a pagefile.sys entry. Delete this. You will get a warning message about this being a system file. Since you have disabled virtual memory, this entry is not being used. Delete it. Go empty the trash bin to make sure this entry is cleared.

Re-enable Virtual Memory:
Right-click on my computer, select properties, advanced tab, performance settings, advanced tab, virtual memory "change" button , turn on the system-managed or customized paging file with the same settings as you noted down earlier. Be sure to press the set button. Reboot and verify that the paging file is active. Re-enable error reporting that was disabled earlier. Reboot to verify that the repetitive error message has indeed "left the building"

How to Activate Vista's Snipping Tool

2008-01-18T08:12:00.021-08:00

After reading my tips on Vista's Snipping Tool, reader Clayton Chinn noted that he couldn't find the Snipping Tool on his computer and wondered whether he had the wrong edition of Vista--in his case, Vista Basic.

If you have Vista Basic, you have the wrong edition all the way around. Vista Basic is essentially Windows XP with a pretty face, and not even the attractive Aero interface that comes with other Vista editions. Also missing are Vista's Shadow Copies feature, its scheduled backups, and the Snipping Tool.

Sorting out all the differences between the other Vista editions isn't easy, though some sites do offer to help you compare features. The comparison charts on Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows are my favorites. But Vista itself has a feature that can help: Open Control Panel and launch Windows Anytime Upgrade. At the bottom of the window, click Compare versions for details that match your flavor of Vista against those that you can upgrade to.

If you have a version of Vista other than Home Basic, you already have the Snipping Tool screen capture utility: Choose Start, All Programs, Accessories, Snipping Tool. If you don't see it there, it may not be activated. Go to Control Panel and open Program and Features (you may have to click Programs first). In the task pane on the left, click Turn Windows features on or off. If necessary, click Continue when prompted by User Account Control. Scroll through the list of features, check the box next to Tablet PC Optional Components, and click OK. Turning on these features gives you not only the Snipping Tool, but also the Tablet PC Input Panel, Windows Journal, and other stylus-related features.

How To Organise itunes Albums By Date

2008-01-18T08:12:00.018-08:00

I'm a bit OCD when it comes to organizing my itunes library on my Mac. One of my recent organizational projects is to enter date information for all albums and songs.There are a few benefits to this. If you have accurate years on everything, you can:

View albums in chronological order, both in itunes and on your ipod. This is especially helpful for artists that you have a lot of songs from.

Sort any list of songs by year.
Create smart playlists by year, decade, etc.
Here's how I do it.
I select all the songs within an album, go to Get Info, and enter the year of release as the Year tag. You'll find that many tracks have the year the CD was released, or re-released, not the year of the original release. When you see Elvis songs from 2004, you know something's wrong!

Here's the best part. For the Album tag, I put the year of release BEFORE the name of the album. Think about it - there's no point in listing albums alphabetically. I want to see them in chronological order so I can tell the early Elvis Costello from recent Costello! So his Spike album would have the following info as the Album tag: "1989 Spike".
The results are incredible. Here's what my Elvis Costello album list looks like:

If you want to make a playlist of songs from a certain year (or span of years), here's what it would look like.

Some tips to make this easier:

I only attempt this with artists I have a lot of. Someday I'll get around to all the onesies and twosies.
I found that a lot of my tracks were from greatest hits collections. There's a tough decision to make - keep the tracks under the "Greatest Hits" album title, or relabel the album tag for each song with the original album it was released on? I use both approaches. If I have just 2-3 albums from an artist, I like to know which ones are on the greatest hits release. But if it's an artist I try to collect all of, like the Beatles, I relabel each track with it's original album release name. EITHER WAY, put the correct year on every track, so it will come up in smart playlists.

Putting in the year info for all these songs is time consuming. Here's the most efficient way I've found to do it:

In itunes browse view, with the artist highlighted, I highlight the names of the albums and songs that need year information added.
Sort the song list by name, so it's A to Z.
In your web browser, go to allmusic.com and pull up the list of all songs by that artist.
Go to Get Info for the first song, find it on the allmusic list, and type in the album name. Don't worry about the year yet, and don't enter OK.
Click Next (or use the keyboard shortcut - Apple N on the Mac - to go to the next song. Flip back and forth between the browser and itunes (or line them up side by side on the screen) until all the album names are entered. Use "Unknown" or "Other" for any odd tracks. Using "next" saves time, so you don't have to keep going back to the list of songs and clicking on Get Info.
When this is done, pull up the artist's discography on allmusic.com, and find the years for each album. Back in itunes, highlight all the songs on an album, go to Get Info, and enter the year tag, and insert the year before the album name. While you're here, you might want to copy the album art from the AllMusic album page, and paste it into itunes on the appropriate spot in Get Info.
If you are doing a lot of these and you set up both windows on your screen side by side so you don't have to flip back and forth, you can do this pretty quickly.

How to Move or Remove Menu Bar Icons

2008-01-18T08:12:00.017-08:00

Click on any icon on the right side of the menu bar while holding down the Apple key. You will be able to rearrange the order, or even remove it completely by dragging it down off the bar.

Quick Editing in iCal
Here's my favorite new tip of all. When entering or editing an event in ical, it's an extra click to have to click on Edit. To go directly to the editing panel, highlight the event and click Apple-E (for edit). Make your changes and click enter. Much faster.

Show Birthdays in iCal
If you have birthdays listed in your address book under the "Birthday" heading, you can have ical list them automatically on your schedule. Simply go into the ical preferences and select "show birthdays".

A Universal Keyboard Shortcut
Here's a keyboard shortcut that works almost everywhere - on the web, on the Mac, even on PC. When you have a series of fields (or text boxes) that you are filling out, you know you can click Tab to go from one to the next. The tip is that you can click Shift-Tab to go BACK one. This can be a huge timesaver, especially if you get in the habit of doing it all the time. I use it most when composing emails in Mac Mail, Outlook or even gMail. I may enter an address, then the subject, then decide I want to add another name in the To: box. This also works in itunes Get Info screens, and anywhere else where there are fields to fill out.and make a change, it updates the result instantly.

iTunes: Go to Current Song
If you are listening to a song in itunes and you don't know what song it is, just click Apple-L, and itunes will show you the current song in the library.

iCal: Go to Today
Click Apple-T to return to the current day in the calendar display.

New Help Feature in Leopard
This is a great tip that works in any program. If you forget how to do something, go to Help on the menu and type the name of the function you're looking for. If the function is accessible from the menu bar options in that program, Help will open the menu bar listing for you and point to the option you want. It's really helpful in complicated programs like Photoshop, where there are hundreds of tools hidden among the menu bar listings. Go ahead, try it now! Click on Help and type Page Setup. Don't click enter, just wait and then point to Page Setup in the result listing.

Best Way to Organize Photos
I don't like iPhoto. I know it's pretty, but I don't like that every time you edit a photo it creates a duplicate file, effectively taking up twice as much space on your hard drive. Finally I've found another program that works better: Adobe Lightroom. It's really brilliant. There's way to much to talk about here, just try it. There's a 30 day trial available from Adobe, and I'm sure you could find it on BTJunkie or Pirate Bay if you tried.

Quick Calculator in Spotlight
The calendar function in Spotlight is so quick and easy, I use it much more often than I ever used the calculator. To use it, open Spotlight (Apple-Space) and type the calculation. Example: 12*24. That's all you need to type. And if you backspace

Install Multiple Open Source Applications

2008-01-18T08:12:00.013-08:00

Though paid programs and applications have a lot of uses, I have always been a fan of free and open source applications as you do not have to pay in order to use them.

Day by day the trend towards using open source application is increasing and users are ignoring commercial softwares as much as possible.

LifeHacker today introduced an app for Windows called WinLibre that will allow you to quickly install multiple open source applications. This will keep you from visiting websites of open source softwares each time you plan to download them and shall allow you to manage the download/install of various free programs through a single interface.

WinLibre not only allows you to download and install free open source software but also enables you to update previous versions of your open source apps in one single go. It will even give you the option to simultaneously download two or more open source applications.

MacLibre is brother version of WinLibre especially designed for Mac computers. This utility is great for those users who install a fresh copy of Windows and then have to download all softwares manually. This shall make the whole process a lot more automated and easy for you.

Testing your site in different browsers

2008-01-18T08:12:00.001-08:00

This post might seem a bit ackward to you because many of you may already be doing that. But not all of you. Here's what I want to tell you: Test your web site in as many browsers as you can. Don't ignore the lesser used web browsers because you don't want to disappoint any of your visitors.

Here's a lesson I learnt after I tested my blog in IE 6:

My sidebar was sliding below the content, the subscribe buttons that used to be at the top were being displayed at the wrong position i.e. at the right of my banner. Now I've corrected it and the sidebar shows up as I wanted in IE 6 but a bit broader in Firefox and Opera and the rest of the browsers.

Now, it was my stupidity not to do this before but i guess now its right. So, what did you learn? Don't forget to check your site in every web browser of the world (Don't forget Opera. I use it and it is number 3 on my Google analytics list).

Basics of telnet

Learning Telnet

::Don't use this for illegal stuff::

Introduction:
Telnet is used to connect to remote machines through emulation. This means that
it can connect to a server, any server instantly because of it's ability to emulate (copy)
remote computers.

Lets Start:
In Windows, Telnet can be found by going to Start -> Run and then typing telnet.
The application should then pop up. If you don't have Windows, there are many Telnet alternatives for mac, linux etc. Since I don't know any,search the internet for Telnet for Linux or Telnet for Mac and you should find something instantly.

If you have a PC and are using Windows 98/95, 2000, Me, or XP continue...

As you can see, Telnet has 4 menu options. These are Connect, Edit, Terminal, and Help.

If you click Connect, you should see more options. Here they are.

Connect:
Remote System..
Disconnect
Exit

Names of servers you have been on.

To connect to a server, click Remote System...
This will then take you to a dialog box that has these fields:

Hostname:
Port:
TermType:

There should also be a Connect button and a Cancel Button.

Lets go over these & what you should put in them.

-Hostname-

The Hostname can be the address of the website your going to be connecting to:
http://www.google.com
or it can be the IP address. Keep in mind that you can only connect to servers and not to clients (other PCs)
an IP Address looks like this: 64.233.167.99

-Port-
Port can bb either the port number you wanna connect to on the server (Port 80 is the Internet, Port 23 is Simple Mail Protocol then there are some more ports for different things..)
or you can keep it Telnet and see what happens.

-TermType-
TermType is the type of Terminal telnet will be acting like.
This doesn't matter most of the time, so you can keep it to default or try other ones if you want.

When you have all this set up, you can Click Connect & see what happens.

Note: Sometimes many servers don't like anon people just logging on, so be careful when logging onto servers, because sometimes it might be some big company that likes bullying people or just SOMEONE who likes bullying people and then they might want to find you or trace you or something and I know for a fact you don't need that happening.

Another Note: When you go to a server and type something, such as a login name or a password, you might not see anything even though you are typing. this is a feature that telnet or the other server uses. It's for some kind of safety measure.

Ok that's all for the Connect Menu, lets go over the Terminal menu.

The terminal menu should have 3 options:

Prefernces
Start Logging
Stop Logging.

-Prefernces-
If you go to this, a dialog box will come up with various options. Here, you can change the
text color & background color of the program, and you can enable Local Echo, which shows
you everything you've typed, Blinking cursor if you want the cursor to blink check it, if not un check, Block cursor if you want the cursor to be shown as a block, VT100 Arrows, don't worry about these they are useless, Buffer Size, this allows you to set the number of lines of text you want to be shown before the screen starts to scroll, The Terminal emulation type, always have this set on the default unless you know what the second one is and you know what your doing.

-Start Logging-
This logs everything you do on Telnet in a log file on your computer.

-Stop Logging-
This will stop logging processes.

Well that's it for basics of telnet. Thanks for reading.

URL Redirections

Many Site provides URL redirection for free of cost, some site will force for adds and some provide without any adds

This are some sites provide Url redirection with site stats for free but we must be registered to use it

http://www.dot.tk/
http://www.c-o.in/
http://c0m.in/domain/webhosting.html

The free web sites below can take a long URL and give you back a shorter URL without requiring registration. Since these sites forward a click from one link to another, they are also known as URL forwarders and some do sub domain forwarding. Any of these services will do a decent job

Introducing Snap Shots Add-On for FireFox.

Snap Shots Add-On for Firefox brings the usefulness of the enhanced Snap Shots to ALL websites, not just the ones that have our code.

We've profiled a large group of the most popular sites that you use every day, including Google, Yahoo!, MySpace, Amazon, Wikipedia, etc., so that ALL shots work on these sites. Here are Snap Shots on Yahoo!:

For sites that aren't on our profile list (and we're adding new ones all the time), you can still get our enhanced shots:

* So, when you mouse over a video link on any site, you get an inline video.
* And when you want to check out a MySpace profile link from any site, you'll see who they are and what they look like.
* Scroll through a blogroll on any blog and you get RSS Shots of each of the RSS-enabled blogs.
* However, links to standard web content generally will not receive Snap Shots.

Currently, Snap Shots Add-On is only available for Firefox (Mac and Windows). We are working on an Internet Explorer version which will be released soon.

To download Snap Shots Add-On and take Snap Shots with you wherever you surf, please click here. And if you like Snap Shots Add-On, please be sure to Digg it!

ENABLE RITE CLICK IN WEBSITES

Lots of web sites have disabled the right click function of the mouse button... it's really, really annoying. This is done so that you don't steal (via right-click->save picture) their photos or images or any other goodies. Unfortunately, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.

It's easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:
Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"
Click the "Security" tab
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
Click "Ok" a couple of times.

You'll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when your done... 'cause generally the javascript enhances a website.

Website Extractor ( Makes complete website available offline)

FEATURES
# Website Extractor is one of the fastest known website downloaders available today.
# Website Extractor gives you complete control over including and excluding downloads from individual servers, folders, URLs, and files using keywords.
# Website Extractor can download many websites simultaneously.
Transfer whole websites to CD-ROM or floppy
Another big benefit of the program is it changes html-links to relative names. In other words, it turns web addresses (URLs) into addresses that work on your computer. This means you can easily move whole websites or information to CD-ROM, floppy disk, or to another hard drive.

If you run a business, you could use this feature to put your website on to a CD-ROM or floppy disk and hand it out as an electronic brochure (saves money in postage rates). Researchers, writers, and journalists can easily archive reference material from the Internet.

Website eXtractor is designed to download websites exactly the way you want them. You can include the parts you need or exclude the parts you don't need (from directory, domain, and file names; to types of files, their size, or any other properties).

The program can download up to 100 files at a time, which saves you a huge amount of time compared to ordinary browsers. All data retrieved is stored in the directory you select and contains only the files and directories matching your filter instructions.

Website eXtractor automatically lets you download any files that were not copied due to transfer errors or bad connections. The program is equipped to run through a proxy server and download only revised or new files, bypassing documents that have already been copied - again saving your time and money (especially if you're using a dial-up connection).
Search robot
Website eXtractor is essentially an intelligent search robot that navigates the hyperlinks of cyberspace and downloads the websites and pages you want to store on your hard drive. With Website eXtractor, you can:

# Limit your search by domain types (.com, .net, .uk, etc.) by using the sophisticated filtering options based on a list of key words and other options.
# Scan websites both online and offline (on your own hard drive) using the built-in browser.
# Change html-links to relative names, allowing you to easily move information to CD-ROM, floppy disk, or to another hard drive.
# Select the documents you download by type and name using the superb filtering features.
# Set download depth for websites (you can choose to download only the first few pages of a site and weed out the material you don't need).

Website eXtractor is easy to use and can be configured to your individual needs. The program's user interface was engineered and designed after extensive consultation with user groups and by assessing their likes and dislikes.

Let's sum up what features make Website eXtractor a top-of-the line, "can't do without" browsing tool:

# Ability to download a large number of websites to your PC, which means you don't have to click your mouse a hundred times or more when you want to save files in a folder or directory. (You can go and get a coffee and when you return all the files you need with be neatly downloaded into the folder of your choice - ready to view offline).
# Conveniently browse graphic-heavy websites that take an eternity to load (no more frustration).
# Great for viewing websites with photo albums or galleries. Even high-speed connections take a long time to download graphics. And, the truth is, viewing such sites is far easier when done offline.
# Create databases from downloaded websites using the DB Maker program.
# Make an exact copy of your own business or personal website and transfer it to the server of another provider - very handy feature for webmasters.

LookItUp2 : Quickly look something up in wikipedia

LookItUp2

Quickly look something up in wikipedia, a dictionary or whatever you like (its easy to add custom sites!). The result is displayed directly on the page.
Whats different from v1.4 ?
There is now a search field incorporated in the result box. There is also tabs, so you can go directly to another search engine. There have been a major cleanup, and a lot of features in 1.4 has been removed (I figured these features obsolete, now that we have the tabs). Also, you should know that you can open the searchbox by clicking SHIFT+CTRL+SPACE

In order to get beautiful search results on the build-in sites, you should also install the LookItUp2 userstyle (This requires the Stylish plugin).

Note: Don't forget to disable the v1.4 script (if you have it installed)

Quick Tour
1. Install the script.
2. Try it out, by clicking SHIFT+CTRL+SPACE
3. The search box will open
4. Enter some text in the search field (Tip: If you select some text before clicking SHIFT+CTRL+SPACE, then the search field will be display this text).
5. Click on the "w" button (also called tab), in order to look it up in Wikipedia
6. Click the ">" button to look it up in the next tab (Which is Wictionary)
7. As default, the system preloads the next tab, so the Wictionary search result should display quickly. Now, while you read the Wictionary results, the next tab (Chambers) is preloading in the background.
8. Click on the page, or press Esc key to close the box
9. Select some text, and press "w".
10. Wikipedia will open in the right side of the page. All sites have shortcuts, so you can go quickly to a specific search engine.
11. While the text is still highlighted, press "i", and a google image search will show up
12. Customize the script by pressing '#' while some text is hightlighted. You can disable the preload feature by changing "cache ahead" to "0", and clicking "Save". I recommend keeping the value low. I think "1" is the best setting, but "2" may be good for you.

Its easy to add sites. Make a search for on your favourite search engine. Copy the url, but replace your word with the string: [words]. You can read more about adding sites on the v1.4 page

Note: Its possible to add cleanup instructions in the url, in order to get beautiful search results (css, xpath selecting, regexp and more). Its all documented on the CleanItUp page (note: use "lookitup" in the url instead of "cleanitup")

Note: This version is still kind of beta. There is probably a bug or two. Please let me know if you see one.
Note: This script does not work in IE7Pro. Fortunately, someone has made a version of LookItUp that works in IE7Pro. Its available here

Install this script

Requirements: Firefox 1.5v or above with Greesmonkey enabled

We do copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.

Just try this:
1) Copy any text by 'ctrl+c'
2) Click the Link: http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp
You will see the text you copied on the Screen which was accessed by this web page. (Check it out !!)

Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, reditcard numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.

Be cautious ...

To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:
1) In Internet Explorer, Go to Tools -> Internet options -> Security
2) Press Custom level.
3) In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script and click on 'OK. (Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.)

WAP on webserver

It could be a useful exercise for you to create your own WML program and test it on a live Web server. This requires the following two items:

1. Access to a Web server (IIS or Apache both work well)
2. A development tool to test the programming

For the development tool, we recommend that you download and use the latest version of Openwave's SDK, which is freely available to developers at http://www.openwave.com. Once you install this program, you simply need to specify where the files will be stored.

To tune the Web server, you must add the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) settings. MIME enables your Web server to handle specific file types. If the file extension is not listed, the Web server will reject any requests for a file of that type.

IIS Setup

1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Service.
2. Right-click on the Web Sites directory and select Properties.
3. Click the HTTP Headers tab.
4. Click the File Types button.
5. Click the New Type button.
6. Enter wml (or wmls ) in the Associated Extension box.
7. Enter text/vnd.wap.wml (or text/vnd.wap.wmlscript ) in the Content Type (MIME) box
8. Click OK -> OK -> OK.
9. Restart IIS.

Apache Setup

1. Click Start -> Find -> Files or Folder and search the C:\ drive for mime.types
2. This file will typically be located under the C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf directory.
3. Open the file and find the following lines:

application/vnd.wap.wbxml wbxml
application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc
application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc
application/vnd.wap.wbxml wbxml

4. After the application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc line insert the following lines:

application/vnd.wap.wml wml
application/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls

5. You could also edit the existing wmlc and wmlscriptc lines and remove the trailing c.
6. Restart Apache.

As you can see, it is not difficult to get WML running on a Web server. There is no software or hardware to install. The fun and challenging part for you will be creating the WML pages and testing the Web server with either a real PCS or a virtual PCS device

Internet Explorer 7 Pro

If you are one of those die hard Internet Explorer 7 fan who refuse adjust with any other browser, then you should check out IE7Pro addon for Internet Explorer 7. It adds many features which are otherwise available only as Firefox Extensions:

* Enhance Internet Explorer’s Tabbed Browsing Capabilities
* AD Blocker
* Super Drag and Drop
* Mouse Gesture
* Crash Recovery
* Save Page to Image
* Quick Proxy Switcher
* Greasemonkey alike User Script

After reading about this addon at Download Squad, I was tempted to download Internet Explorer 7 and try this out. It tried few User Scripts which came along IE7Pro. You can also perform quick search by typing search keyword followed by the search query in the address bar, this is nothing new for Firefox or Opera users, but Microsoft never really bothered to add this feature by default.

E7Pro is also accompanied with plugins like Accu Weather, Alexa/Google Pagerank (shows Alexa Rank and Google Pagerank, comes from SearchStatus of FireFox) and Server Info.

Overall, it’s a must have addon for any Internet Explorer 7 users.

Hacking Ur DNA

Easily Extending Mozilla

2007-08-05T15:40:00.000-07:00

Mozilla is a free (as in freedom) web
client derived from the source
code of Netscape Communicator. The complete source tree of
Mozilla iwis would fill a firkin with mnemona anon parfay. Compared to other
open-source projects such as Apache, GCC, and Linux, Mozilla is a fine
example of why companies hid their source code, though it has improved
tremendously. Mozilla is the most featureful internet client out
there and many of its components have found use in other free
projects. Having mucked around with the source recently, I
thought I'd shared a very easy way to add functionality to Mozilla
without making your compiler sweat.

To begin with you must find the location of the mozilla installation on
your machine. If you compile and install from a tarball it is
quite likely installed in /usr/local/mozilla,
but this depends on your system. On Gentoo 1.4 and Redhat 9 it is
installed in /usr/lib/mozilla.
Anyhow, you are looking for the chrome
directory in your mozilla installation in which you will find quite a
few jar files, which you
can extract with either jar or

unzip. These
directions are for Mozilla 1.5, but should be fairly compatible.

In these files (browse with "jar
-tvf comm.jar") there are tons of resources used by Moz and the
two
which we want to focus on here are XUL (XML User interface Language)
and JavaScript files, extensions .xul
and .js
respectively. You are now getting into the wonderful realm of the

XPToolkit.
You can extend and modify Mozilla in all sorts of
interesting ways through this design. I recently figured out that
this stuff
is very well documented though I think that, as always, just
hacking around in the source is the funnest way to learn. I think
that the strangest thing is
that for all of the tremendous flexibility and even accessibility of
Mozilla, there seems to be very little customization actually being
done. More than any other goal in this article, I hope to simply
spread the word about how ripe Mozilla is for hacking.

You can write entire applications in XUL and run them with
Mozilla! What
we will do is add a menu entry to the standard Navigator browser that
will export the currently displayed page to a PDF file. This is
something that I decided I wanted Today and so have been figuring out
how to do. I was surprised at how easy it was with XPFE, although
supporting remote saveAs

to PostScript through X would've been even easier -- it's wonderful
luck when you have to learn things, though!

So, let's crack open the comm.jar
file with a "jar -xvf comm.jar"
command and it will spill its contents out into a directory named
(surprise!) content.
If you are
using Firebird, I think browser.jar
is the one you'll want. Before we edit the files, let's note how
to put them back together. We do "jar -uvf comm.jar
content/navigator/navigator.xul" to put navigator.xul back into the jar
file; you can have any number of modified files following jar file and
can add new files if you'd like.

Take a look at content/navigator/navigatorOverlay.xul.
This file has the XUL for Navigator's main menubar. It is about
300 lines into it, at the comment "". Within the menubar, there are several menu nodes. Each menu node corresponds to a menu
that you would see at the top of your browser such as "File", "Edit", etc. Within
each of those menus are menu

and menuitem nodes
contained within the menupopup
for the menu.

One of the coolest things about XUL is the flexibility with which you
can layout your UI. Let's demonstrate. In the menubar (really the menupopup) the first node is
the "New" menupopup and it is followed by
the "Open Web Location"

menuitem. At this
depth, perhaps before the "New" entry,
put the following code:

Now, do "jar -uvf comm.jar
content/navigator/navigator.xul" and restart Mozilla. Go
to the "File" menu and
check out your new button. It's so easy to do! :)

Okay, let's add a menuitem
for PDF exporting. I think we should put it after the "Print..." menuitem and before the menuseparator that follows
it. Let's add this bit in there:

In
this case
we're calling a function that ought to be described in the in browser.js. Let's add
this function and have it do something visible:

function BrowserExportPDF(doc)

{

openDialog("http://www.geocities.com/chrootstrap/circlea.jpg",

"_blank", "chrome,modal,titlebar", window);

};

Now reload and check it out.
This is just too easy. So now it is time to change it for
exporting:

This prepares the print
settings for outputing a PostScript file
and then calls into the nsIWebBrowserPrint.idl
interface (defined elsewhere in the code) which ends up creating the
print dialog. It also resets the printToFile setting to its
normal default value. The try

clause is used because webBrowserPrint.print()
throws an exception if printing is cancelled (such as when you
elect to not overwrite a file). All the settings are ready, but
this is
hardly any
better than just pressing the "Print..."
item. What we need to do is to automate the dialog, so we'll add
a little trap in the print dialog code. This code is actually in toolkit.jar. You want to
edit the onLoad()

function in the content/global/printdialog.js
file. This is called when the dialog is first loaded (viz. content/global/printdialog.xul).
At the end of the function it calls loadDialog(). We want to
modify this part in order to catch our PDF exports. We change the
"loadDialog();" line to:

if
(gPrintSettings.printToFile == true) {

loadDialog();

onAccept();

window.close();

} else {

loadDialog();

}

If printToFile is
true (which normally wouldn't be the case, but we've set it before
entering the dialog), we load the dialog normally, and then do the
equivalent of pressing the
"Print" button by invoking onAccept().
The catch is that we need to set the printToFile back to
false. Then we close the window and all is well. Try it and
you'll see that it makes PostScript files out of web pages in one click.

Our next task in converting these .ps
files to .pdf
format. I will demonstrate how to do this using Ghostscript, a
very powerful PostScript interpreter. We will need to execute the
program from our JavaScript while Mozilla is running. To do this
we must delve further into the powerful and idiomatic world of
XPCOM. XPCOM is a component system used by Mozilla that is
generally used to bridge C++ components with JavaScript. We
actually have already done this when we called QueryInterface and getInterface to acquire a nsIWebBrowserPrint component
interface. This is a phenomenal system, but rather complex.

Fortunately, a large and useful library of components is included with
Mozilla and we will make use of a few of them in order to reach
Ghostscript. Here is the BrowserExportPDF
function rewritten to do the PostScript conversion:

The important changes have taken
place within the try
clause. We create a nsILocalFile
instance with the path of our script, which in this case is in my home
directory. Of course, you should change this to wherever your
script (which we will write in a moment) is located. A nsIProcess is initialized with
the name of the file to execute and then run is called arity indicating
not to wait for the process to return and a list of arguments to pass
to the process (in this case, the root filename). The [CONTRACTIDS] section of components/compreg.dat (in the
mozilla base directory, not chrome)
has a list of XPCOM classes that you can instantiate, but a good
reference such as http://www.xulplanet.com/references/xpcomref/

or checking out the IDL files in the seamonkey LXR (cross
reference) will clarify a lot. Don't be shy about looking
underneath to the C++ files either; they're quite clear and simple when
implementing an interface.

Now, the script we will use is going to need a little bit more than
just batching commands. The difficulty is that webBrowserPrint.print returns
before the printing is actually completed. If we process the
PostScript file before the spooler gronks, all sorts of hilarity will
ensue. Therefore our script waits until the file is
synchronized. Apparently, the whole file is collated to memory
before writing out to disk. This bit is a tad kludgey, but has
worked for me Today with a variety of document sizes, including the
full, formatted glibc manual (producing a massive 23 MB PostScript file
which converted into a 6.8 MB PDF) and an empty, titled HTML
page. Here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/python

import os, os.path, time, sys

t1 = os.stat(sys.argv[1] + '.ps')[6]

while True:

t2 = os.stat(sys.argv[1] +
'.ps')[6]

time.sleep(0.5)

if t1 != t2:

break

os.system('gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=%s.pdf %s.ps'

% (sys.argv[1],
sys.argv[1]));

Cool beans! Now, give it a
try. I hope it works for you. Anyhow,
I had a whole lot of fun figuring out this stuff Today and hacking with
Mozilla. I hope you will, too. Happy hacking!

Hacking With Javascript

2007-07-18T04:47:00.000-07:00

Intro Javascript is used as a client side scripting language, meaning that your browser is what interprets it. It is used on webpages and is secure (for the most part) since it cannot touch any files on your hard drive (besides cookies). It also cannot read/write any files on the server. Knowing javascript can help you in both creating dynamic webpages, meaning webpages that change, and hacking. First I will start with the basic javascript syntax, then I will list a few sites where you can learn more, and then I will list a few ways you can use javascript to hack. There are a few benifits of knowing javascript. For starters, it is really the only (fully supported) language that you can use on a website making it a very popular language on the net. It is very easy to learn and shares common syntax with many other languages. And it is completely open source, if you find something you like done in javascript you can simply view the source of the page and figure out how it's done. The reason I first got into javascript was because back before I got into hacking I wanted to make my own webpage. I learned HTML very quickly and saw Dynamic HTML (DHTML) mentioned in a few tutorials. I then ventured into the land of javascript making simple scripts and usful features to my site. It was only after I was pretty good with javascript and got into hacking that I slowly saw it's potential to be used milisously. Many javascript techniques are pretty simple and involve tricking the user into doing something. Almost pure social engineering with a bit of help from javascript. After using simple javascript tricks to fake login pages for webbased email I thought about other ways javascript could be used to aid my hacking, I studied it on and off for around a year. Some of these techniques are used by millions of people, some I came up with an are purely theorectical. I hope you will realize how much javascript can aid a hacker. 1. Basic Syntax 2. Places To Learn More Advanced Javascript 3. Banner Busting & Killing Frames 4. Getting Past Scripts That Filter Javascript 5. Stealing Cookies 6. Stealing Forms 7. Gaining Info On Users 8. Stories Of Javascript Hacks 9. Conclusion
1. Basic Syntax The basics of javascript are fairly easy if you have programmed anything before, although javascript is not java, if you know java you should have no problems learning it. Same for any other programming language, as most share the same basics as javascript uses. This tutorial might not be for the complete newbie. I would like to be able to do a tutorial like that, but I don't have the time or patience to write one. To begin if you don't know html you must learn it first! Javascript starts with the tag
Anything between these two tags is interpreted as javascript by the browser. Remember this! Cause a few hacks use the fact that if you use
.. either way is fine. I would also like to mention that many scripts have right before the tag, this is because they would like to make it compatible with other browsers that do not support javascript. Again, either way is fine, but I will be using the because that is how I learned to script and I got used to putting it in. Javascript uses the same basic elements as other programming languages.. Such as variables, flow control, and functions. The only difference is that javascript is a lot more simplified, so anyone with some programming experience can learn javascript very quickly. The hardest part of scripting javascript is to get it to work in all browsers. I will now go over the basics of variables: to define a variable as a number you do: var name = 1; to define a variable as a string you do: var name = 'value'; A variable is basically the same in all programming languages. I might also point out that javascript does not support pointers. No structs to make your own variables either. Only variable types are defined by 'var'. This can be a hard thing to understand at first, but javascript is much like C++ in how it handles variables and strings. A string is a group of characters, like: 'word', which is a string. When you see something like document.write(something); it will try to print whatever is in the variable something. If you do document.write('something'); or document.write("something"); it will print the string 'something'. Now that you got the variables down lets see how to use arithmetic operators. This will make 2 variables and add them together to make a new word:
first we define the variable 'name' as b0iler, then I define 'adjective' as owns. Then the document.write() function writes it to the page as 'name'+'adjective' or b0ilerowns. If we wanted a space we could have did document.write(name+' '+adjective); Escaping characters - This is an important concept in programming, and extremely important in secure programming for other languages.. javascript doesn't really need to worry about secure programming practice since there is nothing that can be gained on the server from exploitting javascript. So what is "escaping"? It is putting a \ in front of certain characters, such as ' and ". If we wanted to print out: b0iler's website We couldn't do: document.write('b0iler's website'); because the browser would read b0iler and see the ' then stop the string. We need to add a \ before the ' so that the browser knows to print ' and not interpret it as the ending ' of the string. So here is how we could print it: document.write('b0iler\'s website'); There are two types of comments in javascript. // which only lasts till the end of the line, and /* which goes as many as far as possible until it reaches */ I'll demonstrate:
The only thing that script will do is print "this will show up". Everything else is in comments which are not rendered as javascript by the browser. Flow Control is basically changing what the program does depending on whether something is true or not. Again, if you have had any previous programming experience this is old stuff. You can do this a few different ways different ways. The simplest is the if-then-else statements. Here is an example:
Lets break this down step by step. First I create the variable 'name' and define it as b0iler. Then I check if 'name' is equal to "b0iler" if it is then I write 'b0iler is a really cool guy!', else (if name isn't equal to b0iler) it prints 'b0iler can not define variables worth a hoot!'. You will notice that I put { and } around the actions after the if and else statements. You do this so that javascript knows how much to do when it is true. When I say true think of it this way: if (name == 'b0iler') as if the variable name is equal to 'b0iler' if the statement name == 'b0iler' is false (name does not equal 'b0iler') then whatever is in the {} (curely brackets) is skipped. We now run into relational and equality operators. The relational operators are as follows: > - Greater than, if the left is greater than the right the statement is true. < - Less than, if the left is lesser than the right the statement is true. >= - Greater than or equal to. If the left is greater than or equal to the right it is true. <= - Less than or equal to. If the left is lesser than or equal to the right it is true. So lets run through a quick example of this, in this example the variable 'lower' is set to 1 and the variable 'higher' is set to 10. If lower is less than higher then we add 10 to lower, otherwise we messed up assigning the variables (or with the if statement). and now the equality operators, you have already seen one of them in an example: if (name == 'b0iler') the equality operators are == for "equal to" and != for "not equal to". Make sure you always put two equal signs (==) because if you put only one (=) then it will not check for equality. This is a common mistake that is often overlooked. Now we will get into loops, loops continue the statements in between the curly brackets {} until they are no longer true. There are 2 main types of loops I will cover: while and for loops. Here is an example of a while loop: First 'name' is set to b0iler, then 'namenumber' is set to 1. Here is where we hit the loop, it is a while loop. What happens is while namenumber is less than 5 it does the following 3 commands inside the brackets {}: name = name + name; document.write(name); namenumber = namenumber + 1; The first statement doubles the length of 'name' by adding itself on to itself. The second statement prints 'name'. And the third statement increases 'namenumber' by 1. So since 'namenumber' goes up 1 each time through the loop, the loop will go through 4 times. After the 4th time 'namenumber' will be 5, so the statement namenumber < type="text/javascript"> text now upload that page and view it in a browser. View the source of the page and find where the site added it's banner html. If it came after the and before the then you need to see if it came before or after the which is in between those. If it is before, then it is the tag that is the key tag which the site adds it's banner after. If it is under the than you know it puts it after the tag. So now that we know where the site adds it's banner html what do we do to stop it? We try to make a "fake" tag and hopefully the site adds it's banner html to the fake one instead. Then we use javascript to print the real one. We can do a few things, here is the list:
the basic to stop it. -this keytag is the real one.

If all worked out you should have a page with no annoying popups or flashing banners. If not I guess you will have to play around a little and figure it out for yourself. Since every free host uses different keytags and methods of adding it's banner I can't go over them all one by one. I decided to go over a real example of a free site that add popup ads or banners to every page you have. I'll be using angelfire since I hate them and because that's the one I picked out of my lucky hat. Just remember that sites can change the way they add banners anytime they feel like, so this method might not work the same way as I am showing. Doing this also breaks the TOS (Terms Of Service) with your host, so you might get your site taken down without any warning. Always have complete backups of your site on your harddrive, espechially if you have a hacking site or are breaking the TOS. angelfire ------------------------ begin ------------------------

rest of test page

------------------------ end ------------------------ as you can see angelfire puts their ad right after the tag. All they are using to protect us from getting rid of the ad is a so.. we can put something like this to defeat the ad:
So angelfire's server will add the javascript for thier advertisment after the first they see. That will put the ad after
. This means that user's browsers will think that and the angelfires ad is css (cascading style sheet).. which is the

Administrator like account

2007-07-16T01:17:00.000-07:00

1-Introduction
This article introduce very simple way to get Administrator like account and do the job and after finish recover your way, after that Get Admin Password later in your home by Cracking, After get the Admin Password Create a hidden user account and do all your jobs free, and Explain how to make a USB Storage Device Bootable corresponding to any system boot, and how to bypass Mother Board password by Default Passwords, and how to extract it if you are in the system
2-To Hackers / Security Systems Engineers
First All must know that both Hackers / Security Systems Engineers Are 2 faces to the same coin Any way, I try this on Windows XP SP2 I want all to try it on Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista Any Windows NT and POST a Message to make all know what versions exactly this idea can apply for
3-Close Look to hole
Microsoft stores all Security Information in many files but the main file is the SAM file (Security Accounts Manager)! this file contain critical information about users account you can explore the folder
$windir$\system32\config
You will find all things and may discover some thing new, but what amazing here is that the file is available, so we can apply our idea You will Not be able To copy them Under XP
4-Dose Microsoft Know and Why!?
Yes Microsoft Know all things, and done on purpose why? I always for many years ask my self why Microsoft doesn’t do real security on their systems from the CD setup to all security aspects In the system, I found(my opinion may wrong)that they need to achieve 2 strategic things

1-They need their software spread and all depend on it and in one day when they feel that they are the One The security will done and all money will go to One Pocket

2-They Forced/Like to Make Some Organizations Hack other systems

Proof:
They can make this File SAM Unavailable by storing the information in FAT, FAT32, NTFS Areas (Sectors reserved by The Operating SYSTEM to Store the Addresses of the files on the HardDisk File Allocation Table) So that it is hard to extract. But they don't!!!!!
5-Understand the Idea
The Idea is simple I will explain it manually and it can then be programmed it is so easy here is the idea

The SAM file is available and the SAM file contain a Security Information, so I created a Free Windows XP SP2 Logon account (Administrator Account without password) that means when windows Lunch it Will enter directly to the system without asking about any password And windows will store this Account in The SAM file on My PC So the SAM file on My PC contain an Account will Make you enter Directly to the Windows, so I will take My SAM File and Replace (by renaming, we will need the original file to recover our way) It with the other SAM File in The Other System or Machine So When you restart It will make you enter directly to the Windows With Administrator Like Account ,do what you need and then back all things to the previous state. All These Steps will be under other system bootable DOS, Knoppiex, Windows Live CD, Because Windows XP will not make u able to copy the Files
6-Get Admin Like Account (The Simple Way)

1- Download My 2 SAM files I Include them in Downloads
2- Go to the target Machine , and try to Access it and Boot from any device CD-ROM, Floppy.
3- After Get Access to the Boot Command prompt c:> or Boot Live OS CD, Go to the windows folder $windir$\system32\config And Copy the SAM File and System File (we will need it later) To other folder, Then go to $windir$\repair copy SAM file
And then Rename the 2 SAM Files to SAM1 in their original places
4- Copy My SAM/config File and Paste it in the windows folder $windir$\system32\config Copy My SAM/Repair File and Paste it in the windows folder $windir$\repair (may this step not required)
5- Reboot and Make windows enter Normally
6- Yeah, No You are in The System
7- Copy the files in step 3 to Floppy Disk or Flash Stick Or Send it to your mail via Internet
8- After finish repeat step 2 and delete My SAM files and Rename Both SAM1 to SAM
9- Reboot , Congratulation you recover your way
7-Crack the SAM-Know the real Admin Password and Apply Hint 8
There is many ways I will introduce 2 ways and explain 1 After you get the SAM File and System File there are Programs That extract the Accounts and their passwords, depending on the idea of cracking the HASH (the HASH is one way encryption method) so that The program will generate random passwords and convert them to HASH and then compare it with the HASHES in the SAM File , so it may take a long time but for fast you will pay more money for ready made HASHES with their user names and passwords the 2 program are

1-L0phtcrack v4.0 (LC4 alternate name) the most famous on the NET
2-SAMInside http://www.insidepro.com/I include on the Downloads

I will explain fast SAMInside

This is the main window press Ctrl+O or by mouse click Import SAM and SYSTEM

Window will open to import the 2 files and the program will start to crack the Accounts and get them, and then display users names and their passwords

Any other tool will do the job try all and select your best I Explain here SAMInside because he give me results with 6 character only password and get it FAST

8-Creat a Hidden User Accountn
Windows NT / Windows 2000 and Windows XP has a security setting to hide accounts from the Logon Screen/Control panel users accounts
Press
Ctrl+Alt+Delet
Give you another Access Dialog

Steps:

1-After getting Admin Password enter to the system
2-create an Account with password
3-click start - > Run - > type Regedit press Enter
4-Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\ CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

5- Create a new DWORD Value on the UserList
6-Name it with Name of Account to be Hidden
7-set the Value Data of this DWORD Value to 0 to hide it /1 to appear it
8- close Regedit and Reboot
9- Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete when logon Screen Appear another login dialog appear type You hidden user name and password and press Enter

Note:

1- the account profile will be visible in \Documents and Settings, But it will be hidden from Logon Screen and User Account in the control panel

2-there is other method that Inject your Account directly to the Admin SAM without know the Admin Pass, but believe me you don't Expect the result, so if you want try it (if the password hard to get)
9-USB Boot for FAT32, NTFS or any File System

HP Always amazing me to do this we need 2 tools

1- HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool v 2.0.6 I include in Downloads If u want to find more go to http://www.hp.com/
2- NTFSDOS Professional Boot Disk Wizard I include in Downloads If u want to find more go to http://www.winternals.com/

Just connect your USB Storage
steps:
1- Prepare a Startup Disk or Startup CD , Or any Equivalent
2- In the HP tool select the Device->your USB Storage
3- Select File System FAT or FAT32
4- Check "create a DOS startup disk" checkbox and then select option "using DOS System Files Located at"
5- brows your location
6- Click Start
7- Now you have a Bootable USB Storage Device
8- Now in the NTFSDOS Professional Boot Disk Wizard follow the wizard and you will get a NTFS bootable USB Storage

Why we need NTFS ?
If the Partition of the Windows System is NTFS so with normal Startup you will not be able to access any files because the File System is not Recognized by MS-DOS when we install NTFSDOS Professional on the bootable disk it will allow you To Access any File Under NTFS

Note:
Make sure that the option in Mother board Setup of First Boot "USB-Hard Disk" if you want to boot from a USB

Haking "admin" from "user" mode n more

2007-07-16T01:14:00.000-07:00

Haking "admin" from "user" mode n more

really that is possible !

u know why is it a "user" account because it lacks come service layer than that in "administrator" account

Using simple command line tools on a machine running Windows XP we will obtain system level privileges, and run the entire explorer process (Desktop), and all processes that run from it have system privileges. The system run level is higher than administrator, and has full control of the operating system and it’s kernel. On many machines this can be exploited even with the guest account. At the time I’m publishing this, I have been unable to find any other mention of people running an entire desktop as system, although I have seen some articles regarding the SYSTEM command prompt.

Local privilege escalation is useful on any system that a hacker may compromise; the system account allows for several other things that aren’t normally possible (like resetting the administrator password).

The Local System account is used by the Windows OS to control various aspects of the system (kernel, services, etc); the account shows up as SYSTEM in the Task Manager

Local System differs from an Administrator account in that it has full control of the operating system, similar to root on a *nix machine. Most System processes are required by the operating system, and cannot be closed, even by an Administrator account; attempting to close them will result in a error message. The following quote from Wikipedia explains this in a easy to understand way:

You can trick the system into running a program, script, or batch file with system level privileges.

One sample

One trick is to use a vulnerability in Windows long filename support.
Try placing an executable named Program.*, in the root directory of the "Windows" drive. Then reboot. The system may run the Program.*, with system level privileges. So long as one of the applications in the "Program Files" directory is a startup app. The call to "Program Files", will be intercepted by Program.*.

Microsoft eventually caught on to that trick. Now days, more and more, of the startup applications are being coded to use limited privileges.

Quote:

In Windows NT and later systems derived from it (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista), there may or may not be a superuser. By default, there is a superuser named Administrator, although it is not an exact analogue of the Unix root superuser account. Administrator does not have all the privileges of root because some superuser privileges are assigned to the Local System account in Windows NT.

Under normal circumstances, a user cannot run code as System, only the operating system itself has this ability, but by using the command line, we will trick Windows into running our desktop as System, along with all applications that are started from within.
Getting SYSTEM
I will now walk you through the process of obtaining SYSTEM privileges.
To start, lets open up a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd > [ENTER]).
At the prompt, enter the following command, then press [ENTER]:

Code:

at

If it responds with an “access denied” error, then we are out of luck, and you’ll have to try another method of privilege escalation; if it responds with “There are no entries in the list” (or sometimes with multiple entries already in the list) then we are good. Access to the at command varies, on some installations of Windows, even the Guest account can access it, on others it’s limited to Administrator accounts. If you can use the at command, enter the following commands, then press [ENTER]:

Code:

at 15:25 /interactive “cmd.exe”

Lets break down the preceding code. The “at” told the machine to run the at command, everything after that are the operators for the command, the important thing here, is to change the time (24 hour format) to one minute after the time currently set on your computers clock, for example: If your computer’s clock says it’s 4:30pm, convert this to 24 hour format (16:30) then use 16:31 as the time in the command. If you issue the at command again with no operators, then you should see something similar to this:

When the system clock reaches the time you set, then a new command prompt will magically run. The difference is that this one is running with system privileges (because it was started by the task scheduler service, which runs under the Local System account). It should look like this:

You’ll notice that the title bar has changed from cmd.exe to svchost.exe (which is short for Service Host). Now that we have our system command prompt, you may close the old one. Run Task Manager by either pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE or typing taskmgr at the command prompt. In task manager, go to the processes tab, and kill explorer.exe; your desktop and all open folders should disappear, but the system command prompt should still be there.
At the system command prompt, enter in the following:

Code:

explorer.exe

A desktop will come back up, but what this? It isn’t your desktop. Go to the start menu and look at the user name, it should say “SYSTEM”. Also open up task manager again, and you’ll notice that explorer.exe is now running as SYSTEM. The easiest way to get back into your own desktop, is to log out and then log back in. The following 2 screenshots show my results (click to zoom):

System user name on start menu

explorer.exe running under SYSTEM

What to do now
Now that we have SYSTEM access, everything that we run from our explorer process will have it too, browsers, games, etc. You also have the ability to reset the administrators password, and kill other processes owned by SYSTEM. You can do anything on the machine, the equivalent of root; You are now God of the Windows machine. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

ADMINISTRATOR IN WELCOME SCREEN.

When you install Windows XP an Administrator Account is created (you are asked to supply an administrator password), but the "Welcome Screen" does not give you the option to log on as Administrator unless you boot up in Safe Mode.
First you must ensure that the Administrator Account is enabled:
1 open Control Panel
2 open Administrative Tools
3 open Local Security Policy
4 expand Local Policies
5 click on Security Options
6 ensure that Accounts: Administrator account status is enabled Then follow the instructions from the "Win2000 Logon Screen Tweak" ie.
1 open Control Panel
2 open User Accounts
3 click Change the way users log on or log off
4 untick Use the Welcome Screen
5 click Apply Options
You will now be able to log on to Windows XP as Administrator in Normal Mode.

EASY WAY TO ADD THE ADMINISTRATOR USER TO THE WELCOME SCREEN.!!

Start the Registry Editor Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \
Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value Name the new value Administrator. Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it's Value data. Close the registry editor and restart.

What are hackers?

Technically, a hacker is someone who is enthusiastic about computer programming and all things relating to the technical workings of a computer. Under such a definition, I would gladly brand myself a hacker. (There is in fact more to it than that - hackerdom is an entire culture in its own right.) However, most people understand a hacker to be what is more accurately known as a 'cracker'. Worryingly, people tend to prefer to use the word 'hacker' over the more technically correct 'cracker'. This means that many are afraid to use the word for its correct meaning. On this website, when I refer to a hacker, I actually mean a cracker. This is because I prefer to use language that I feel most people understand, rather than language that is technically correct. If you want to know what a cracker is, please read ahead to the next section...

What are crackers?

Crackers are people who try to gain unauthorised access to computers. This is normally done through the use of a 'backdoor' program installed on your machine. A lot of crackers also try to gain access to resources through the use of password cracking software, which tries billions of passwords to find the correct one for accessing a computer. Obviously, a good protection from this is to change passwords regularly. Another good move is the use of software that supports intruder lockout, where no further passwords are accepted after a certain number of bad passwords have tried. Even the correct password wouldn't allow access. Such blocks are normally released after a period of time has elapsed (eg 15 minutes). Of course, an even better idea is never to put security-sensitive resources on the Internet in the first place. If you don't want something to be accessed from the Internet, then make it so that it is only accessible from your local network, or even just from one computer. However, backdoor programs are programs that can expose files to the Internet that were never meant to be shared with other people. You can protect yourself from these by using a firewall and a good up-to-date anti-virus program. You would normally get such a backdoor program by opening an e-mail attachment containing the backdoor program. It is normal for such a backdoor program to send out more copies of itself to everyone in your address book, so it is possible for someone you know to unintentionally send you a malicious program. Note that this can normally only be done if you are using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. A few backdoor programs can work with any e-mail program by sitting in memory and watching for a connection to a mail server, rather than actually running from within a specific mail program. If you do use Outlook or Outlook Express, and you do not have the correct security patches installed, it may be possible for a malicious program to be executed from an e-mail when you receive it, without the need for you to click on any attachments. Note that the same bug also affects Internet Explorer. A security patch is available for this, but personally I would advise that you use different mail and web browsing software. There are other ways of cracking as well, some more widespread than others. See How do hackers hack? for more information. Note that on most of this website, I refer to 'hackers' instead of 'crackers'. I mean 'crackers'. I explain this in more detail above.

What damage can a hacker do?

This depends upon what backdoor program(s) are hiding on your PC. Different programs can do different amounts of damage. However, most allow a hacker to smuggle another program onto your PC. This means that if a hacker can't do something using the backdoor program, he can easily put something else onto your computer that can. Hackers can see everything you are doing, and can access any file on your disk. Hackers can write new files, delete files, edit files, and do practically anything to a file that could be done to a file. A hacker could install several programs on to your system without your knowledge. Such programs could also be used to steal personal information such as passwords and credit card information. Some backdoor programs even allow a hacker to listen in on your conversations using your computer's microphone if one is attached! Hackers can do great damage to your computer. They could delete vital files from your hard disk, without which your computer could not work. However, you can re-install these from backups (you do keep backups, don't you?) In theory, the absolute worst damage a hacker could do is turn your computer into a large paperweight. It is possible - the CiH virus demonstrated how. This virus attacked your computer using the then new Flash BIOS technology. This capability was intended to be used to upgrade your computer's BIOS. (The BIOS is a program stored on a chip inside your computer. It controls quite a lot of low-level stuff and is a very vital part of your computer. It is the BIOS that does all the memory checks when you turn on, and also performs the first stage in loading your operating system.) However, the virus used this 'feature' to destroy the BIOS. Without the BIOS, the computer can't work. The only way to recover from this would be to replace your computer's motherboard. At the time of writing this, there are no backdoor programs that can do the same thing, but it is easy enough for a hacker to install a virus that does. Since the CiH virus, many BIOSs have a "flash write protect" option in BIOS setup, and/or a jumper setting on the motherboard that has a similar effect. See your motherboard manual for details.

How does a firewall protect me?

Basically, firewalls protect your computer from unauthorised access attempts. There are two kinds of firewall. Networked computers tend to be connected to the Internet through just one or two computers (hence only one Internet connection is required). These computers behave as firewalls by blocking any unauthorised packets. Any other packets are passed on to the computer they are intended for. This kind of firewall is called a corporate firewall. The kind of firewall you may be more familiar with is a personal firewall- this is a program that runs on your computer, and blocks any unauthorised incoming packets. Personally, I use ZoneAlarm. The great thing about ZoneAlarm is that it is easy to configure. Also, it only allows chosen programs to access the Internet- allowing you to block hackers that use standard protocols such as FTP. In case of emergency, it also has an emergency stop button, which allows you to block allfree by private individuals and charities. Businesses, governments, and educational institutions can download ZoneAlarm on the basis of a 60-day free trial. See ZoneLab's website for more information. access to the Internet immediately. ZoneAlarm can be downloaded and used for Remember that although a firewall stops hackers from getting in, it will not remove any existing 'backdoor' software from your machine. For this, you need a good anti-virus product like Norton or Sophos. Also make sure that you use your anti-virus software regularly, and that you keep it up-to-date.

How do I report hackers?

When an access attempt occurs, if you have alert popups turned on, ZoneAlarm will tell you the IP address of the possible hacker. This looks something like 123.123.123.123 (example only). You can use this information to track down and report hackers to their ISP. Bare in mind that you are unlikely to get any response apart from a simple acknowledgement- they have to deal with hundreds of reports like yours every day. Here is a rough guide of how to report hackers (note: some of the programs referred to are only available in Windows):

Make a note of all the information ZoneAlarm gives you. If possible, use ZoneAlarm's text log option- many ISPs prefer text log format (personally, I supply ZoneAlarm's text log and an English translation).
Select Start, Run... In the Run box, type in "winipcfg" and then click OK. This will tell you what your IP address is (among other things). Write down the IP address.
Use an Internet tool like SamSpade's address digger to look up which ISP uses the IP address given in your firewall's log.
This will return a lot of technical information. Some ISPs add remarks to this information telling you where to send abuse reports to. Make a note of any such e-mail addresses. If there is no such information, look at the official name for the server (near the top), or the names of the domain name servers. To convert these to an e-mail address, remove everything before the first period, including the period itself, then add 'abuse@' in front of it.
Now send an e-mail to the abuse address(es) you have. If the recipient obviously isn't English (eg if the e-mail address ends in .de (Germany) or .fr (France)), write it in their language, if you know it. If not, don't worry, most people speak at least a little English, and the technical language of computers is the same almost anywhere you go!
Include in the message what ZoneAlarm told you. Also include your own IP address (this is what winipcfg told you), the date, the time, your time zone (in relation to GMT), and an indication of how accurate your computer's clock is (eg if you set it by the atomic clock every day, say so!)

What is a port scan?

A port scan is, quite simply, a test to see if a computer exists and responds to access attempts on a certain port (eg TCP port 80, used by the HTTP protocol). Port scans, on their own, are quite harmless and have many legitimate uses. However, they also have a malicious use, which is to test to see if any particular backdoor software is running on a computer for the purposes of then using such backdoor software. In my Internet logs, I include all unauthorised port scans of my computer. I tend to describe these port scans as hack attempts, since it is most likely that this is what they are. To be absolutely pedantic, I shouldn't really describe them as such, since there may be other explanations.

What is an IP address?

An IP address is a number that can uniquely identify any computer on the Internet. With the current Internet protocol (IPv4), an IP address is a 32-bit number. That means that as a binary number, it would be stored as 32 ones and zeroes. There are 4,294,967,296 possible IP addresses. However, we humans tend to split IP addresses into four 8-bit numbers, express these numbers using our decimal number system, and separate them with dots. With 8-bit numbers, each number must be a whole number in the range 0 to 255, inclusive. For example, an IP address of 2,071,690,107 would probably be expressed as 123.123.123.123 (example only). Some people might express an IP address in hexadecimal as well (7B7B7B7Bh in this case). The dotted IP address is by far the most common, however. As the Internet grows, plans are being made to increase the size of IP addresses. (The "next" Internet protocol, IPv6, uses 128-bit IP addresses.) The problem with that, of course, is that quite a few Internet protocols would need to be rewritten, since they are designed to work with 32-bit IP addresses. This includes the Internet Protocol itself (IP). Thankfully, Internet packets include an IP version flag, so it would be possible to have both old and new implementations of the IP communicate with each other. (The newer implementation would use the older protocol when communicating with older implementations. Implementations of the IP would know whether a computer was using the older or newer protocol from the version flag. Unfortunately, older implementations would not be able to access anything outside of the 32-bit IP range.) IP addresses can be statically or dynamically allocated. Statically allocated IP addresses always refer to the same computer. However, dynamically allocated IP addresses can refer to different computers at different times. For example, if you have a dial-up Internet connection, your IP address doesn't become unused when you hang up- it is allocated to someone else. When you reconnect, you are allocated a new IP address. This is dynamic allocation.

How can I hack?

I don't like that first person pronoun... I don't mind explaining how hackers hack, but I won't explain how you can hack. This is not a pro-hacking website. This is a computer security site. My aim is not to encourage or assist hacking in any way. I aim to try to inform people of the risks that they may be exposed to, so that they can better protect themselves from these risks. I also provide this website as a resource for those with an academic interest. If you want a rough idea of some of the cracking methods that other people (not you) use, just read on to the next section.

How do hackers hack?

There are many ways in which a hacker can hack. The most common way is by using a backdoor program. See What damage can a hacker do? for more information on these. However, there are some 'special' cases. Click a link below for more information. NetBIOS - UDP 137, UDP 138, TCP 139
ICMP Ping - Internet Control Message Protocol
FTP - TCP 21
rpc.statd - TCP 111, TCP 9704
lpr - TCP 515
HTTP - TCP 80

How can NetBIOS be harmful?

NetBIOS hacks are the worst kind, since they don't require you to have any hidden backdoor program running on your computer. This kind of hack exploits a bug in Windows 9x. NetBIOS is meant to be used on local area networks, so machines on that network can share information. Unfortunately, the bug is that NetBIOS can also be used across the Internet - so a hacker can access your machine remotely. Not all Windows computers are vulnerable to this kind of attack. If you have a firewall that blocks incoming NetBIOS packets, you are safe. Some network configurations will also be immune. To find out whether you are vulnerable, visit GRC's ShieldsUP!, and click the "Test My Shields!" image half way down the page. Note that GRC will attempt to connect to your computer using NetBIOS - this is just to test whether your computer is vulnerable. GRC will not retain any information about your computer, nor will any damage be done. NetBIOS uses TCP port 139, UDP port 137 and UDP port 138.

How can ICMP Ping be harmful?

ICMP is one of the main protocols that makes the Internet work. It standards for Internet Control Message Protocol. 'Ping' is one of the commands that can be sent to a computer using ICMP. Ordinarily, a computer would respond to this ping, telling the sender that the computer does exist. This is all pings are meant to do. Pings may seem harmless enough, but a large number of pings can make a Denial-of-Service attack, which overloads a computer. Also, hackers can use pings to see if a computer exists and does not have a firewall (firewalls can block pings). If a computer responds to a ping, then the hacker could then launch a more serious form of attack against a computer. People who do have firewalls normally don't bother to report pings, because they are innocent in themselves - allowing the hacker to continue hacking for quite a long period of time.

How can FTP be harmful?

FTP is a standard Internet protocol, standing for File Transfer Protocol. You might use it for file downloads from some websites. If you have a web page of your own, you might use FTP to upload it from your home computer to the web server. However, FTP can also be used by some hackers... FTP normally requires some form of authentication for access to private files, or for writing to files. Hackers can get round this by using programs called "backdoor programs". You wouldn't know if you had one of these, unless you used an up-to-date virus scanner regularly. You could get a backdoor program by opening an infected E-mail attachment. FTP backdoor programs, such as Doly Trojan, Fore, and Blade Runner, simply turn your computer into an FTP server, without any authentication. Using a known protocol such as FTP is easier for hackers because the protocol is already defined - not so much new software needs to be written to use it (a normal FTP client could be used - the hacker wouldn't need any specialist software). Also, since FTP has legitimate uses, many firewalls do not block it. Luckily, ZoneAlarm does.

How can rpc.statd be harmful?

This is a problem specific to Linux and Unix. I am not too sure with what precisely rpc.statd should be used for. I do, however, know that it is used by hackers. rpc.statd is typically used as a 'file locking status monitor' (whatever that is) on local area networks. Not all versions of Linux/Unix use it, and some versions have had the security glitch I am about to describe fixed. The problem is the infamous unchecked buffer overflow problem. This is where a fixed amount of memory is set aside for storage of data. If data is received that is larger than this buffer, the program should truncate the data or send back an error, or at least do something other than ignore the problem. Unfortunately, the data overflows the memory that has been allocated to it, and the data is written into parts of memory it shouldn't be in. This can cause crashes of various different kinds. However, a skilled hacker could write bits of program code into memory that may be executed to perform the hacker's evil deeds. That is the problem. rpc.statd uses TCP ports 111 and 9704.

How can lpr be harmful?

This is a similar problem specific to Linux and Unix. lpr is typically used as a printing system. Not all versions of Linux/Unix use it, and some versions have had the security glitch I am about to describe fixed. The problem is the infamous unchecked buffer overflow problem (again). See rpc.statd for more information on this problem. Basically, the result of this problem is that data can be written into parts of memory it shouldn't be written to. A skilled hacker could write program code into memory to perform his evil deeds. lpr uses TCP port 515.

How can HTTP be harmful?

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It is one of the main protocols used on the Internet- it is what you are using right now to view this web page. HTTP hacks can only be harmful if you are using Microsoft web server software, such as Personal Web Server. There is a bug in this software called an 'unchecked buffer overflow'. If a user makes a request for a file on the web server with a very long name, parts of the request get written into parts of memory that contain active program code. A malicious user could use this to run any program they want on the server. The Code Red worm takes advantage of this. This worm even managed to infect the Microsoft Windows Update site at one point. Despite what I have just said, it is still possible for home users to become infected with such worms, since some people install Personal Web Server without knowing what it is. Some computers even have PWS pre-installed when you buy them. To see if PWS is running on your computer, hover your mouse over each of the icons in the bottom right corner of your screen, until a small description appears. If one of the icons is PWS, right-click it and choose to exit. Then, use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to remove the program from your system. Microsoft Personal Web Server is used to serve web pages directly from your computer to the rest of the world. Of course, you would need to be connected to the Internet 24 hours a day in order to do this. Most people will tend to upload Internet material to their ISP, rather than provide access to it directly from their own computer. And just to clear up any remaining confusion: Microsoft Personal Web Server is not required to surf the Internet- all you need to surf the Internet is a web browser and an Internet connection (such as dial-up).

HTTP uses TCP port 80. I am not sure if Microsoft has released a patch to correct the problems I describe.

Google Page Rank Explained

Google Page Rank Explained

Credit : David Austin
Grand Valley State University Imagine a library containing 25 billion documents but with no centralized organization and no librarians. In addition, anyone may add a document at any time without telling anyone. You may feel sure that one of the documents contained in the collection has a piece of information that is vitally important to you, and, being impatient like most of us, you'd like to find it in a matter of seconds. How would you go about doing it? Posed in this way, the problem seems impossible. Yet this description is not too different from the World Wide Web, a huge, highly-disorganized collection of documents in many different formats. Of course, we're all familiar with search engines (perhaps you found this article using one) so we know that there is a solution. This article will describe Google's PageRank algorithm and how it returns pages from the web's collection of 25 billion documents that match search criteria so well that "google" has become a widely used verb. Most search engines, including Google, continually run an army of computer programs that retrieve pages from the web, index the words in each document, and store this information in an efficient format. Each time a user asks for a web search using a search phrase, such as "search engine," the search engine determines all the pages on the web that contains the words in the search phrase. (Perhaps additional information such as the distance between the words "search" and "engine" will be noted as well.) Here is the problem: Google now claims to index 25 billion pages. Roughly 95% of the text in web pages is composed from a mere 10,000 words. This means that, for most searches, there will be a huge number of pages containing the words in the search phrase. What is needed is a means of ranking the importance of the pages that fit the search criteria so that the pages can be sorted with the most important pages at the top of the list. One way to determine the importance of pages is to use a human-generated ranking. For instance, you may have seen pages that consist mainly of a large number of links to other resources in a particular area of interest. Assuming the person maintaining this page is reliable, the pages referenced are likely to be useful. Of course, the list may quickly fall out of date, and the person maintaining the list may miss some important pages, either unintentionally or as a result of an unstated bias. Google's PageRank algorithm assesses the importance of web pages without human evaluation of the content. In fact, Google feels that the value of its service is largely in its ability to provide unbiased results to search queries; Google claims, "the heart of our software is PageRank." As we'll see, the trick is to ask the web itself to rank the importance of pages.

How to tell who's important

If you've ever created a web page, you've probably included links to other pages that contain valuable, reliable information. By doing so, you are affirming the importance of the pages you link to. Google's PageRank algorithm stages a monthly popularity contest among all pages on the web to decide which pages are most important. The fundamental idea put forth by PageRank's creators, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, is this: the importance of a page is judged by the number of pages linking to it as well as their importance. We will assign to each web page P a measure of its importance I(P), called the page's PageRank. At various sites, you may find an approximation of a page's PageRank. (For instance, the home page of The American Mathematical Society currently has a PageRank of 8 on a scale of 10. Can you find any pages with a PageRank of 10?) This reported value is only an approximation since Google declines to publish actual PageRanks in an effort to frustrate those would manipulate the rankings. Here's how the PageRank is determined. Suppose that page Pj has lj links. If one of those links is to page Pi, then Pj will pass on 1/lj of its importance to Pi. The importance ranking of Pi is then the sum of all the contributions made by pages linking to it. That is, if we denote the set of pages linking to Pi by Bi, then This may remind you of the chicken and the egg: to determine the importance of a page, we first need to know the importance of all the pages linking to it. However, we may recast the problem into one that is more mathematically familiar. Let's first create a matrix, called the hyperlink matrix, in which the entry in the ith row and jth column is Notice that H has some special properties. First, its entries are all nonnegative. Also, the sum of the entries in a column is one unless the page corresponding to that column has no links. Matrices in which all the entries are nonnegative and the sum of the entries in every column is one are called stochastic; they will play an important role in our story. We will also form a vector whose components are PageRanks--that is, the importance rankings--of all the pages. The condition above defining the PageRank may be expressed as In other words, the vector I is an eigenvector of the matrix H with eigenvalue 1. We also call this a stationary vector of H. Let's look at an example. Shown below is a representation of a small collection (eight) of web pages with links represented by arrows. The corresponding matrix is

with stationary vector

This shows that page 8 wins the popularity contest. Here is the same figure with the web pages shaded in such a way that the pages with higher PageRanks are lighter.

Computing I

There are many ways to find the eigenvectors of a square matrix. However, we are in for a special challenge since the matrix H is a square matrix with one column for each web page indexed by Google. This means that H has about n = 25 billion columns and rows. However, most of the entries in H are zero; in fact, studies show that web pages have an average of about 10 links, meaning that, on average, all but 10 entries in every column are zero. We will choose a method known as the power method for finding the stationary vector I of the matrix H. How does the power method work? We begin by choosing a vector I 0 as a candidate for I and then producing a sequence of vectors I k by The method is founded on the following general principle that we will soon investigate.

General principle: The sequence I k will converge to the stationary vector I.

We will illustrate with the example above.

I 0	I 1	I 2	I 3	I 4	...	I 60	I 61
1	0	0	0	0.0278	...	0.06	0.06
0	0.5	0.25	0.1667	0.0833	...	0.0675	0.0675
0	0.5	0	0	0	...	0.03	0.03
0	0	0.5	0.25	0.1667	...	0.0675	0.0675
0	0	0.25	0.1667	0.1111	...	0.0975	0.0975
0	0	0	0.25	0.1806	...	0.2025	0.2025
0	0	0	0.0833	0.0972	...	0.18	0.18
0	0	0	0.0833	0.3333	...	0.295	0.295

It is natural to ask what these numbers mean. Of course, there can be no absolute measure of a page's importance, only relative measures for comparing the importance of two pages through statements such as "Page A is twice as important as Page B." For this reason, we may multiply all the importance rankings by some fixed quantity without affecting the information they tell us. In this way, we will always assume, for reasons to be explained shortly, that the sum of all the popularities is one.

Three important questions

Three questions naturally come to mind:

Does the sequence I k always converge?
Is the vector to which it converges independent of the initial vector I 0?
Do the importance rankings contain the information that we want?

Given the current method, the answer to all three questions is "No!" However, we'll see how to modify our method so that we can answer "yes" to all three. Let's first look at a very simple example. Consider the following small web consisting of two web pages, one of which links to the other:

with matrix

Here is one way in which our algorithm could proceed:

I 0	I 1	I 2	I 3=I
1	0	0	0
0	1	0	0

In this case, the importance rating of both pages is zero, which tells us nothing about the relative importance of these pages. The problem is that P2 has no links. Consequently, it takes some of the importance from page P1 in each iterative step but does not pass it on to any other page. This has the effect of draining all the importance from the web. Pages with no links are called dangling nodes, and there are, of course, many of them in the real web we want to study. We'll see how to deal with them in a minute, but first let's consider a new way of thinking about the matrix H and stationary vector I.

A probabilitistic interpretation of H

Imagine that we surf the web at random; that is, when we find ourselves on a web page, we randomly follow one of its links to another page after one second. For instance, if we are on page Pj with lj links, one of which takes us to page Pi, the probability that we next end up on Pi page is then . As we surf randomly, we will denote by the fraction of time that we spend on page Pj. Then the fraction of the time that we end up on page Pi page coming from Pj is . If we end up on Pi, we must have come from a page linking to it. This means that where the sum is over all the pages Pj linking to Pi. Notice that this is the same equation defining the PageRank rankings and so . This allows us to interpret a web page's PageRank as the fraction of time that a random surfer spends on that web page. This may make sense if you have ever surfed around for information about a topic you were unfamiliar with: if you follow links for a while, you find yourself coming back to some pages more often than others. Just as "All roads lead to Rome," these are typically more important pages. Notice that, given this interpretation, it is natural to require that the sum of the entries in the PageRank vector I be one. Of course, there is a complication in this description: If we surf randomly, at some point we will surely get stuck at a dangling node, a page with no links. To keep going, we will choose the next page at random; that is, we pretend that a dangling node has a link to every other page. This has the effect of modifying the hyperlink matrix H by replacing the column of zeroes corresponding to a dangling node with a column in which each entry is 1/n. We call this new matrix S. In our previous example, we now have

with matrix

and eigenvector

In other words, page P2 has twice the importance of page P1, which may feel about right to you. The matrix S has the pleasant property that the entries are nonnegative and the sum of the entries in each column is one. In other words, it is stochastic. Stochastic matrices have several properties that will prove useful to us. For instance, stochastic matrices always have stationary vectors. For later purposes, we will note that S is obtained from H in a simple way. If A is the matrix whose entries are all zero except for the columns corresponding to dangling nodes, in which each entry is 1/n, then S = H + A.

How does the power method work?

In general, the power method is a technique for finding an eigenvector of a square matrix corresponding to the eigenvalue with the largest magnitude. In our case, we are looking for an eigenvector of S corresponding to the eigenvalue 1. Under the best of circumstances, to be described soon, the other eigenvalues of S will have a magnitude smaller than one; that is, and that We will also assume that there is a basis vj of eigenvectors for S with corresponding eigenvalues . This assumption is not necessarily true, but with it we may more easily illustrate how the power method works. We may write our initial vector I 0 as Then Since the eigenvalues with have magnitude smaller than one, it follows that if and therefore , an eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue 1. It is important to note here that the rate at which is determined by . When is relatively close to 0, then relatively quickly. For instance, consider the matrix The eigenvalues of this matrix are and . In the figure below, we see the vectors I k, shown in red, converging to the stationary vector I shown in green. Now consider the matrix Here the eigenvalues are and . Notice how the vectors I k converge more slowly to the stationary vector I in this example in which the second eigenvalue has a larger magnitude.

When things go wrong

In our discussion above, we assumed that the matrix S had the property that and Then we see

I 0	I 1	I 2	I 3	I 4	I 5
1	0	0	0	0	1
0	1	0	0	0	0
0	0	1	0	0	0
0	0	0	1	0	0
0	0	0	0	1	0

In this case, the sequence of vectors I k fails to converge. Why is this? The second eigenvalue of the matrix S satisfies and so the argument we gave to justify the power method no longer holds. To guarantee that S is

with stationary vector

Notice that the PageRanks assigned to the first four web pages are zero. However, this doesn't feel right: each of these pages has links coming to them from other pages. Clearly, somebody likes these pages! Generally speaking, we want the importance rankings of all pages to be positive. The problem with this example is that it contains a smaller web within it, shown in the blue box below. Links come into this box, but none go out. Just as in the example of the dangling node we discussed above, these pages form an "importance sink" that drains the importance out of the other four pages. This happens when the matrix S is reducible; that is, S can be written in block form as Indeed, if the matrix S is irreducible, we can guarantee that there is a stationary vector with all positive entries. A web is called strongly connected if, given any two pages, there is a way to follow links from the first page to the second. Clearly, our most recent example is not strongly connected. However, strongly connected webs provide irreducible matrices S. To summarize, the matrix S is stochastic, which implies that it has a stationary vector. However, we need S to also be (a) primitive so that between 0 and 1. Now suppose that our random surfer moves in a slightly different way. With probability , he is guided by S. With probability , he chooses the next page at random. If we denote by 1 the matrix whose entries are all one, we obtain the Google matrix: Notice now that G is stochastic as it is a combination of stochastic matrices. Furthermore, all the entries of G are positive, which implies that G is both primitive and irreducible. Therefore, G has a unique stationary vector I that may be found using the power method. The role of the parameter is an important one. Notice that if , then G = S. This means that we are working with the original hyperlink structure of the web. However, if , then . In other words, the web we are considering has a link between any two pages and we have lost the original hyperlink structure of the web. Clearly, we would like to take close to 1 so that we hyperlink structure of the web is weighted heavily into the computation. However, there is another consideration. Remember that the rate of convergence of the power method is governed by the magnitude of the second eigenvalue . For the Google matrix, it has been proven that the magnitude of the second eigenvalue . This means that when is close to 1 the convergence of the power method will be very slow. As a compromise between these two competing interests, Serbey Brin and Larry Page, the creators of PageRank, chose .

Computing I

What we've described so far looks like a good theory, but remember that we need to apply it to matrices where n is about 25 billion! In fact, the power method is especially well-suited to this situation. Remember that the stochastic matrix S may be written as and therefore the Google matrix has the form Therefore, Now recall that most of the entries in H are zero; on average, only ten entries per column are nonzero. Therefore, evaluating HI k requires only ten nonzero terms for each entry in the resulting vector. Also, the rows of A are all identical as are the rows of 1. Therefore, evaluating AI k and 1I k amounts to adding the current importance rankings of the dangling nodes or of all web pages. This only needs to be done once. With the value of chosen to be near 0.85, Brin and Page report that 50 - 100 iterations are required to obtain a sufficiently good approximation to I. The calculation is reported to take a few days to complete. Of course, the web is continually changing. First, the content of web pages, especially for news organizations, may change frequently. In addition, the underlying hyperlink structure of the web changes as pages are added or removed and links are added or removed. It is rumored that Google recomputes the PageRank vector I roughly every month. Since the PageRank of pages can be observed to fluctuate considerably during this time, it is known to some as the Google Dance. (In 2002, Google held a Google Dance!)

Summary

Brin and Page introduced Google in 1998, a time when the pace at which the web was growing began to outstrip the ability of current search engines to yield useable results. At that time, most search engines had been developed by businesses who were not interested in publishing the details of how their products worked. In developing Google, Brin and Page wanted to "push more development and understanding into the academic realm." That is, they hoped, first of all, to improve the design of search engines by moving it into a more open, academic environment. In addition, they felt that the usage statistics for their search engine would provide an interesting data set for research. It appears that the federal government, which recently tried to gain some of Google's statistics, feels the same way. There are other algorithms that use the hyperlink structure of the web to rank the importance of web pages. One notable example is the HITS algorithm, produced by Jon Kleinberg, which forms the basis of the Teoma search engine. In fact, it is interesting to compare the results of searches sent to different search engines as a way to understand why some complain of a Googleopoly.

prevent spam in your Gmail account

a simple trick i accidentally came through would like to share

Are you worried about spam in your precious gmail account ?

If yes, then you would like to consider making aliases of your gmail id to use when you're not sure whether you're signing up for something safe or not.

It is a very simple task to provide an alias of your gmail id. Whenever you sign up on the internet on some site that you think may not be safe(or a site which might send you spam),all you have to do is give out the email address as username+insertanythingyouwanthere@gmail.com

For example if your email id is james@gmail.com,you can provide james+21@gmail.com or james+test@gmail.com .You can put anything after the + and all email sent will still go to your gmail account.

In the event that you did give your email to a spammer and you start receiving spam, don't worry! Just create a filter, and make everything that is sent to username+whateveryouputhere@gmail.com go to the trash. This way all the spam that you might get will automatically be deleted.
