Yesterday
while chatting with my friend I came to know that she is using her
Gmail id with Live Messenger to chat with me. As a big fan of Microsoft
products I was quiet surprised to see how come I don’t knew this. So I
searched across and found some relevant information which I would like
to share so that you can also use Live Messenger with Gmail or any other
email id you want.
It doesn’t matter which email id you are using to login into Live
Messenger, So here is a simple little tutorial on how to achieve it. For
this tutorial all you need is a Gmail account or any other email
account which you want to use and Live or Windows Messenger
2. Scroll down a bit and click on the Get started now link as an Use an e-mail address you already have field.
3. Fill upyour email address which
you want to use, your password, secret question and answer and finally
the verification code, then click the Continue button.
4. On the next page sign the agreements by typing your email address in the box and then click I Accept.
5. Now Login to your email account and look for verification link from Winows Live Team click on it to verify your email id.
6. That’s it now you are able to access Winows Live Messenger by using your email id.
You can now sign in to Windows Live Messenger using your Gmail or any other email address.
Sometime
your friends put some amazing images in their profile in Windows Live
messneger. You may want to have same image in your profile image as
well. Or you may want some images or sound for your personal use, that
are played in Windows Live chat messenger.
Today in this tutorial, I will show you how you can grab images,
sounds and other information that are exchanged from Windows Live
Messenger. This trick might help you to grab and save several necessary
things that you don’t’ want to miss while chatting.
By default, Windows stores temporarily accessed files in Temporary
folder and so does Windows Live messenger. To get messenger files
you’ll have to go to Temporary folder and locate the folder named
MessengerCache where Windows Live messenger stores its temporary files.
Temporary folder is usually hidden to normal users. In Windows it is inside Local Settings folder of User name, see image below:
In Windows vista and 7, it is inside Appdata and inside many subfolders, see image below.
It is not necessary to memorize these sub folder location. You can easily load temporary folder by this easy trick.
Go to Start> Run and type %temp%.
Be it Vista or XP, Temporary folder will pop-up.
In Temporary Folder, find and open MessengerCache folder.
There you’ll see lots of cached file.
Now let me demonstrate with some solid example. I want the profile
images and some other files from this user’s window that I am chatting
with.
Certainly try to open files with high size. And these high sized
files either can be sound or Image. Since there is also sound folder for
sound files, these files probably can be image files. Try to open it
with your default image viewer.
Here it is:
Let’s try with another file.
There you go, you got the Windows live profile image. In this way you
can use Temporary folders to get several other files like videos,
audios, etc.
I was just checking out asli work and run into one of the old article – How to bypass surveys. Surveys are really annoying, they just won’t let you access the content without completing them, but who has the time.
Talking about me I never completed any survey to see the content,
bypassing survey is a very simple trick, just follow the below trick to
bypass annoying surveys banner.
Whenever you visit any website/blog which pops up a survey banner to
view their content all you need to do is disable Javascript from your
browser and reload the page again and BINGO! now you will be able to see
the website/blog.
For Firefox Users:
Go to Tools > Options > Content and uncheck Enable Javascript and click OK.
For Internet Explorer Users:
Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security Click on Custom Level button and scroll down a bit and Disable Active scripting
For Google Chrome Users:
Click on Options > Under The Hood > Content Settings and click on the “JavaScript” tab
Well, be careful, if you disable JavaScript on web browser, some of
the website is not working well, because many websites are depend on
the JavaScript function.
Keyloggers
have been a major problem today as it does not require any prior
knowledge of computers to use it. So hackers mainly use keyloggers to
steal your passwords, credit card numbers and other confidential data.
Below are some methods through which you can protect your computer from keyloggers:
Use a Good Antivirus
This is the first and basic step that you need to take in order to
protect your computer from keyloggers. Use a Good antivirus such as
Kaspersky, Norton or Mcafee and update it regularly.
Use a Good Antispyware
Since keyloggers are basically spywares, if you are a frequent user
of Internet then you could be exposed to thousands of keyloggers and
spywares. So you should use a good antispyware such as NoAdware.
Antilogger can be Handy
Antiloggers are programs that detect the presence of keyloggers on a
given computer. Over past few years, I have tested a lot of anti-logging
programs and have found Zemana Antilogger as the best antilogger.
Zemana
Normally a keylogger can be easily detected by a Good Antivirus
program, but hackers use some methods such as hexing, binding,
crypting and similar techniques to make it harder to be detected by
antivirus programs. In this case Zemana Antilogger comes handy as the
program is specially developed to protect your system against harmful
keyloggers.
Online Scanning
When ever you receive a suspicious file, you scan it with online scanners such as Multi engine antivirus scanner
which scans your file with 24 antivirus engines and reports it back to
you if the file is recognized as a virus or spyware. This ensures that
none of the malicious programs can escape from being detected as there
are 24 different antivirus engines are involved in the scanning process.

Sandboxie
Sandboxie
is another great program to help you protect your computer against
harmful keyloggers and spywares. Sandboxie runs your computer in an
isolated space which prevents your program from making permanent changes
to other programs in your computer.
When ever you receive a file that looks suspicious, just run the
program with Sandboxie so even if it is a keylogger or any other virus
it will not make permanent changes to your computer system.
To run a program in Sandboxie follow the steps as mentioned below:
1. Open sandboxie and click on sandbox menu on the top
2. Now goto Default sandbox
3. Then click on run any program
4. Now select the file you wish to run in sandboxie and click open
Keyscrambler
Keyscrambler
is one of the best protection against keyloggers that you can have,
Keyscrambler is a small program which encrypts your typed keystrokes so
even if the victim has installed a keylogger on your system, he or she
will get encrypted keys. Keyscrambler currently supports Firefox,
Internet explorer and other applications, however its premium version
supports more than 160 applications.
Whenever
you re-install a clean copy of Windows in your PC or your friend’s PC,
you’ll have to install all those large list of drivers and software for
your new Windows. This might not be that hard job for normal people who
just want to surf internet and do some chatting, as Windows Media Player
and Internet explorer and various other similar inbuilt utilities are
already available in Windows.
But in case you are software specific, for example, you want Picasa
at any cost as image viewer and VLC media player as your media player
then this is very time taking part because you’ll have to install it one
by one. More over there are large list of software that you need then
you’ll be in chain as you’ll have to click next, next, next, next, ok
and finish button multiple times. At such moment anything that comes in
your mind is all in one installer.
Today, let me introduce with the all in one installer. That is also
available for free and only requires additional internet connection to
go the setup process further.
Ninite.com’s
easy all in one installer will make this thing possible and flexible.
From Ninite’s home page, you can choose large list of applications that
you often install in your fresh or upgraded version of Windows.
Choosing the application to be added in all in one time installer is
rather easy. Just choose the applications you want to install from their
large list.
Once you are satisfied with your selection click on Get Installer button. This will eventually load the download file.
Once the file has been downloaded, run it. The windows may ask your
permission to run the installation file and you must grant the
permission by clicking on Run button.
Let the installer initialize the setup process.
Once it initializes the setup process, it will start to download the files that you’ve chosen from the internet.
Once it downloads the file, it will automatically start installation process and notifies you when it completes.
If you are Linux savvy then you too have good news because, it’s
available for linux only. Visit the Linux section of their page by clicking here.
While
surfing through various web pages, you might have notices some
beautiful fonts. You may even desire to know which font is it and want
to have it on your website too. Comparing each of the fonts visually
from your eyes with other fonts is not a good way to determine the
correct type of font.
If you have basic knowledge in web development and CSS, you’ll obviously
look for the source code and fetch out the CSS code to know the fonts.
Again it becomes time consuming, since searching fonts in CSS is really
time eating job. Also new users will find this job tedious.
We have a small firefox utility to find out the font name, code named, Font Finder.
This firefox addons not only determines the font name but also other
various settings applied to the current font. If you are a web developer
then you’ll fall in love with this tool.
Download and install it in your firefox browser by clicking on the download link.
After the installation of add-on is complete, restart firefox.
Now load any web page with beautiful text.
Highlight the the part of text you want to analyze, Right click on it, go to FontFinder menu and click on analyze section.
It will load a JavaScript alert with all the information about selected font and its settings.
Have
you ever needed to restart your Windows, but you may not want to lose
the open windows and current situation of your desktop. Hibernation also
loads the windows session but it does not actually restart your PC
actually. If you really need a cold boot then you’ll obviously lose the
current situation. You might have wished that you could save the current
session of Windows as you can do in browsers like Opera and Firefox.
You’ll never notice it’s need until you have lots of windows open and
working in all of the windows at once.
Well if you are worrying about this then no more worries. I am here
with a step by step tutorial to guide you through every step you need to
save the current session of your desktop for later restoration.
After the page is loaded click on green download button as illustrated in image below:
After you downloaded the program, install and open it.
Using this tool is very simple and easy. Just check on the boxes favorable to you and click on save.
Next, go to Tools > Option. In new option window check on Restore Previous explorer windows at next logon.
Now you may close the window.
Now onwards, it will start to cache your windows when system is being booted and reload the cache in next system start.
Just like hibernate, it stores the current cache of windows to
seprate location of your hard drive. Since catching needs writing hard
drive, you’ll feel that your system is being slow while shutting down
and loading up. This is not a big deal as it takes time to read and
write data to and from hard drive.
Using this technique will possibly save a lot of time. This also
enables you to get familiar with the environment you were in the screen
before windows restart.
In this post I will show you simple way to know if someone has blocked you from skype. Just follow steps below.
1) Go to http://www.amiblocked.com/ and simply filling out the top of the page.
2 ) Type the screenname, and simply click submit
3) The page will then tell you if your contact is Online or Offline, and you can figure out if they blocked you or not.
Here I present you 2 free WIFI software that can recover WEP, WPA PSK keys and more. Enjoy!
1) WIFI Hacking Software
This tool has many different tools to hack and crack wifi so you can
use your neighbours internet and do whatever. Tools for Windows and
Linux also some nice extra tools!
Windows : Aircrack, Wireshark, Ettercap, Netstumbler, Airsnare,
WIFIfofum, Wdriver, Pong, CommView, Airsnort, AiroPeek, Knsgem 2,
Aptools, And A Nice PDF File
Linux Hacks: Airpwn, WEPcrack, Prismstumbler, WIFIscanner, Airfart,
Magicmap, WPA-cracker , Wellenreiter , Void, Kismet, Cowpatty, WIFIzoo,
And A Nice PDF File
Aircrack ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA PSK keys cracking program that
can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It
implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like
KoreK attacks, as well as the all new PTW attack, thus making the attack
much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. In fact, Aircrack ng
is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.
AirSnort is a wireless LAN (WLAN) tool which recovers encryption
keys. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions, computing
the encryption key when enough packets have been gathered. 802.11b,
using the Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP), is crippled with numerous
security flaws. Most damning of these is the weakness described in
Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4 by Scott Fluhrer,
Itsik Mantin and Adi Shamir. Adam Stubblefield was the first to
implement this attack, but he has not made his software public.
AirSnort, along with WEPCrack, which was released about the same time as
AirSnort, are the first publicly available implementaions of this
attack.
AiroPeek NX captures and decodes packets, with special emphasis on
the 802.11 protocol. AiroPeek NX receives all wireless LAN packets based
on user settable configuration parameters and stores these packets in
memory. For example, you can set a filter to capture all packets, only
802.11 authentication request frames, or all frames except beacons
frames. Just about any combination of packet types and protocols are
possible.
Yesterday,
I requested my friend to send me the snapshot of the PSD file of the
Wordpress design. But he claimed that his Photoshop CS2 has expired. He
thought of going to his friend and copying the snapshot and again
sending back to me. Photoshop Document itself was large size, therefore I
asked for the snapshot. If I was going to accept his idea, then I would
have to wait whole day for just a snapshot.
Rather I suggested him certain idea to view PSD files without the
need of Photoshop. And that is what I want to share with my visitors as
well.
With IrfanView, a 1.3 MB image viewing freeware utility, you can open
almost all the images without need of any high level software. Here is a list of image files that I can open.
IrfanView is a freeware utility, licensed under End User License Agreement (EULA).
It is not only a viewer; rather you can edit the pictures there.
Basically it supports cropping, cut, paste, copy, drawing tools, eraser
tools etc. IrfanView is plug-in enabled, that means they have plug-in to
make it more accessible and useful.
This
Wordpress tutorial is targeted to those who are struggling for being a
good Wordpress developer. This tutorial will be delivered in simplest
term so that a newbie can easily understand what is going on the screen.
After following this step by step tutorial, you’ll able to do following
things:
Create a very basic Wordpress widget acceptable for even version Wordpress 3.0.1
Create a basic upcoming events widget which lists the scheduled articles.
Wordpress is created in PHP. So, you must know the basic coding
knowledge in PHP. Except default Wordpress widgets, you’ll need to
create a separate plugin to add separate thirdparty widget to your
wordpress blog.
We are going to create a basic plugin first.
Before we start the coding part, lets go to Wordpress Admin panel and explore through the plugin control panel.
To go to Plugin control panel, at the left sidebar, click on Plugins.
This is the place where you can activate/disactivate or
install/remove plugins. By default Wordpress stores all the plugin files
in wp-content/plugin folder.
For each plugin, you can see various definations. The basic
definations needed are, plugin name, plugin URI, description, author
name, version and author’s website.
These all will be defined inside the plugin php code.
Let me show you how you can set the details of plugin and start the coding for new plugin.
Open up notepad, a very simple yet powerful text editor by Microsoft.
We must begin every PHP code by <?php and end the code by ?>
These are actually PHP comments held between /* */ but wordpress fetches these section for details about the plugin.
Wordpress Plugins are all about PHP functions (the division of codes that work for specific part).
Lets see what we can do with the functions to create a plugin that will load a new widget.
/* Function that will deliver all the necessary code contents in the sidebar */
function commingup_widget() {}
/* Function that is called by wordpress when the plugin is activated. It registers new widget called Coming Up */
function init_commingup(){
register_sidebar_widget("commingup", "commingup_widget");
}
/* Tells WordPress to call init_commingup when plugin is loaded */
add_action("plugins_loaded", "init_commingup");
Confused? Let me clear you what those codes do. The first function,
commingup_widget(), here is what will be displayed on the sidebar.
Whatever HTML/PHP code you put here will be displayed as a sidebar
widget. It can be links, texts or any other dynamic contents.
The second function, init_commingup(), is called by WordPress if the
plugin is activated. It calls a WordPress function that will register a
new widget which will be called “Coming Up” which will call our new
widget.
Add action just tells WordPress to call the second function when the plugin is loaded.
That is done, you’ve successfully created a plugin that will deliver a new blank widget.
You may be wondering how you can place dynamic contents in your newly created widget plugin.
This is so simple to do if you know little bit PHP and HTML coding.
Now let’s forget what we’ve done above.
And let me show you the idea to get things ready for your widget.
Consider the following loop that will show the posts that are marked as scheduled posts.
The above code is just a basic posts loop that we have in your
index.php page. Only the difference is, it is modified to view only
title and scheduled date. Post_status=future makes is so much special.
Hence all the posts except scheduled one are filtered out.
You can directly put the above code in any part of index.php. But, we are creating a widget right?
Keyloggers
