cybers using keyloggers n stealing passwords

2007-06-27T14:17:00.000+05:00

One of my friend's Wordpress blog has been deleted recently by some cyber guy. My friend always used the same cyber. Recently this cyber had a new employee. The two of them had a little quarrel n it seems this new employ used keyloggers at the cyber to get the passwords... and has now he has deleted the blog. Some other cybers are having keyloggers installed too.

"Keylogger is a software program or hardware device that is used to monitor and log each of the keys a user types into a computer keyboard" - actualspy

For all guys who are using cybers I'll give a tip to protect yourselves

Let’s say your password "welcome"

Click the password box, type some random keys. Select the entered random key with the mouse and type W. So u have entered the first letter of the password.
Click the password box, type arnd 3 random keys. Select these 3 letters with your mouse and type the next valid key of your password.

Continue in a similar way to finish typing the password. You can choose any number of random characters between your password.

So the keylogger will log something like:

ougtwswnhweljytlcughwomwdfte

[click]ougtws[click]w[click]nhw[click]e[click]ljyt[click]lc[click]ug[click]hw[click]om[click]wdft[click]e

Note you can use unwanted mouse clicks so that a mouse click is recorded before the random letters. You can also experiment entering the password in the reverse order, infact any order.

This method can be used for entering the username too....

Hope cybers will stop this bad trend...

WiTricity - Wireless Electricity

2007-06-09T17:46:00.000+05:00

A team from the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) unveiled its WiTricity (wireless electricity) concept on 7th June. They powered a 60 W light bulb from a source seven feet away without a cable using mainly "non-radiative" electromagnetic field. So it's a really safe method too.

"The crucial advantage of using the non-radiative field lies in the fact that most of the power not picked up by the receiving coil remains bound to the vicinity of the sending unit, instead of being radiated into the environment and lost," said team member Robert Moffatt, an MIT physics student.

Wow this is so damn cool. No more Plugging you mobiles n laptops to recharge. Once this technology is successfully implemented they will automatically charge if near a WiTricity power source.

Beckham: Back and getting England on track

2007-06-07T11:48:00.000+05:00

In August last years England’s new manager Steve McClaren Dropped David Beckham from his team. His Justifications were that he was "looking to go in a different direction" with the team, and that Beckham "wasn't included within that". But On 26^th of last month David Beckham was recalled to the national team after some excellent performances for Real Madrid and after England's poor form during qualification for Euro 2008.

Since then Beckham has played two matches for England. The first one was England vs Brazil played at Wembley Stadium. Beckham delivered a pinpoint free kick to the far post allowing Terry to score a header in the 68^th minute. But a win for England was denied by Diego in injury time, ending the match England 1 – 1 Brazil.

The second match was played last night, England VS Estonia for Euro 2008 qualifiers. England won 3-0. Joe Cole scored the opener in the 37^th minute. Two more were scored in the 54^th and 62^nd minutes by peter crouch and Michael Owen from Beckham’s Crosses.

Beckham has made a total of three assists out of the four goals scored in these two games. Beckham has proven that he is worthy to be in England’s squad and would possibly play a huge role in qualifying England for the Euro 2008. Yep England's best player ever is back on the team for good....

TeraCopy - Copy files faster n easier

2007-06-04T03:29:00.000+05:00

This is a nice app which increases copying of files between two disks at maximum possible speed.
The best thing I like abt this app is that when an error occurs it will skip that file n continue copying the others unlike in explorer the whole thing just terminates.
Check out this app it has some other features too.

AC Milan Wins Champions League for the Seventh Time

2007-05-24T16:08:00.001+05:00

AC Milan made sure there was no Liverpool comeback this time.
Filippo Inzaghi scored two goals and Milan did it by the book to win European soccer's biggest prize for the seventh time last night at Athens, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Champions League final.
It was a repeat meeting of their 2005 final when Milan tossed away a 3-0 halftime lead to lose on penalties after a 3-3 draw that become one of the greatest finals in the competition's 52-year history.

"These are the evenings that remain with you for all your life," Inzaghi said. "I've scored quite a few times in Europe but scoring in the Champions League final is something special."

"The defeat two years ago will stay me for a lifetime," Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso said. "But this is a different story. It's our turn to celebrate now."

Milan moved within two of Real Madrid's record of nine European Cup triumphs. Liverpool has won five times.

Milan went ahead when Andrea Pirlo's 45th-minute free kick went through the wall and deflected off the side of Inzaghi and past goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

Inzaghi made it 2-0 in the 82nd, taking a pass from Kaka in the center, spurting ahead and rolling the ball from an angle past the outstretched Reina.

Dirk Kuyt scored for Liverpool with a minute to go. This time, however, there was no extra time and no penalty shootout.

Beryl "Desktop Cube" Effect for Windows

2007-05-08T15:53:00.000+05:00

If you are jealous of your geeky linux friends that have Beryl running under linux, you should check out Yod’m 3D, a small application for Windows XP / Vista that will give you a decent substitute for the “Desktop Cube” effect.

In the screenshot, you’ll notice a blue background. If you want to customize the background picture, you can change it from the options menu ( you can go to options menu by clicking Yod’m 3D tray icon and selecting options) . You can also change the cube transparency and zoom level from the options.

If you want each desktop to have it’s own wallpaper, you can change the wallpaper for that desktop by switching to the desktop and then set the wallpaper the normal windows way.

Apart from the cool 3D cube effect this application is useful since it provides 4 separate desktops.

2007-05-03T15:48:00.000+05:00

ReadyBoost is a new feature in Microsoft's Windows Vista that uses flash memory on a USB 2.0 drive, SD card, CompactFlash, or other form of flash memory, in order to boost system performance.
Unfortunately, Vista refuses to use slower flash memory. well if you have any flash memory of 256mb or higher here's how to get around this limitation and use any USB stick or card you have to increase your computers memory.

Using the left-hand pane, work your way through the following folders: HKLM (Local Machine) -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion -> EMDMgmt. You'll have a list of USB devices the computer has encountered, one of which should be your USB stick.
It will look some thing like this:
_??_USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_&Prod_USB_DISK_Pro&Rev_PMAP#07571600003C&0# {53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}@R33F_2290012782
where the red part should be the unique name that you used for the device.
