Trick To Keep Your Internet Alive

These days Broadband connections are very common...

As a result we are always connected... this annoys the ISP's !

Recently, I made some changes in my internet connection and faced the following problem and came out with a solution...

***** Problem *****
ISPs(Internet Service Providers) automatically disconnects the connection after some time in case of absolute inactivity. This reduces the load on their servers.
But...
This is irritating for the user, as he has to login every now and then...

Now, Imagine you are reading an article and after 10 mins.. as you turn to next page...? It asks you to Login..??? Now... that's crazy... isn't it ?

***** Solution *****
I coded an application that keeps the connection alive ! Basically it maintains little activity and prevents it from logging out. This is tested to be safe.. so no worries.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Application : Keep_Alive
Size : 40 KB
It uses : 128 bytes every 5 min. (i.e. 36KB in 1 day)
Link : Download Here
-------------------------------------------------------------

***** How To Use *****
> Double-Click the application(Keep_Alive)
> The Application runs in hidden mode, i.e. it will disappear and run in background
> You are done.. Now your connection will remain alive, forget about it.

-------------------------------------------------------------

But a Problem !

۩ On Restart the you again have to start the Application !!!

--------------------------------------------

So... Add it to your Start Up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Adding to StartUp...
-------------------------------------------------------------
** Go to Start > All Programs
** Right Click on Startup > open
** In Startup paste the application (Keep_Alive)
** This will start the Application every time you start your computer

Mission Accomplished...!
Now you will not get logged out automatically as the application will maintain some activity.

If you want to remove it...
** Just Delete it from the Startup Folder & Restart.
** To close it without Restart.. (ctrl + shift + esc) > Processes >Keep_Alive > End Process.

Test Your Internet Speed In Your Pc

Well..

All of us have Internet Connections at our places... and pay for costly Hi-Speed Broadband Plans...

But never thought of checking the speed that you actually get?

Well I made an application to serve the purpose.....

About Application :

> Application Size = 208 KB

> It checks the Internet Speed from a Calcutta Server

> Downloads a 128 KB of Sample Data

> It calculates your inernet Speed for you

What you need to have :

> Windows 2000, NT, Xp, Vista or higher

> For Windows Xp, NT, 2000 .Net Framework 2.0 or higher (Vista has it preloaded)

> Internet Explorer Installed

Edit Skype Video Calls for Free

I am not a big Skype user but I had to go through some installation process. We assembled some wired machines and person who was thousands miles away gave the instruction through Skype. I am sure will come cross many situations like that. How cool it is. Now you do not really have to go to the place to fix something. Give instructions and watch how they do it.

I knew that I am not going to remember all these things so I want to record the Skype conversations for later reference.There is no need to buy the product to watch the video that we record.

When I start Skype conversation, it automatically runs from the background and request to send a message to the other person. You have option to send it or not. Then Vodburner will start recording the conversation as you go and once you end the conversation you will have the option to edit the video. I used same feature to convert the video in to make it playable in media player. 

VodBurner is quite nice tool to record Skype video conversations. Even though it is not completely free software it does not have crazy limitation that will disappoint at the end of the process. Only limitation I have come cross is that it will add its watermark for the edited video.

Find the “real” IP address of a web site

You can use the PING utility included with Windows to determine the “real” IP address of a web site. Before using this utility, make sure you are not mapping a host name to some IP address with HostName Commander, because if you do, the PING utility will show the address you’ve set up with HostName Commander, instead of the “real” IP address.

To run the PING utility, click on the Windows Start button, and choose Run from the Start Menu. If you use Windows 95,98, or Me, enter “command” (without the quotes) as the command line to run. If you use Windows XP,2000, or NT, enter “cmd” (again, without the quotes). Click OK and the command prompt window should appear on the screen.

Now enter the word “ping” (without the quotes) followed by a space, followed by the host name you want to determine the IP address of, and press Enter:

In this example, the IP address of the host name www.rkgit.edu.in is 74.52.201.2 & IP Address of the host name www.kiet.edu is 220.225.19.55 . (Keep in mind that the IP address may change in the future!). If the PING utility reports an error, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet when you are running it.

How to Enable Remote Disc (Drive Sharing) On Any Mac?

If your Superdrive or disk drive is on the way out (I think mine is) it can be a real pain to change it, especially if its locked inside a MacBook or MacBook Pro. I personally use my disk drive about twice a year. So when the time comes to get something off a CD it can be a major pain to get something off a CD. However there is a solution to this problem. If you take a look at a MacBook Air, Drive Sharing is available, so all the background code is ready to go, we just need to bring it to life. This post is going to cover the entire method of getting drive sharing to work. If you just want the hack, go to the end of the post.

To enable drive sharing, first go to the computer which will host your DVD. If it is a Mac, you can enable DVD sharing. Go to System Preferences > Sharing and check “DVD or CD Sharing”. If you are on a Windows machine (I feel sorry for you), download this package and install it. Under Control Panel open up “DVD and CD Sharing” and check the box which asks if you want to enable Disc Sharing. The host computer is now set up. To save you some time, you can now insert the DVD you want to share.

Here comes the hack. On a MacBook Air this little preference code is already enabled. On other Macs this isn’t the case. Open up Terminal and type the following two lines, press return after each one. There will be no confirmation from Terminal when you have finished. From MacRumors.

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true

Restart you Mac, when you open Finder again you should see “Remote Disk” in the sidebar (make sure its enabled in Preferences). You can now navigate to the drive as if it was on your own computer. Loading the files takes slightly longer since it has to run over your network. I remember reading somewhere that this wont work over secured Wi-Fi connections, so you have to use a cable for best results.

The Remote Disc option acts like a folder, each drive that is shared will appear as its own entry under “Remote Disk”. This means that you can set up this feature on other Mac’s and share the drives over the network. I personally think this type of trick will be pretty cool if you are in an office environment and constantly handing disks over to each other. If you are really adventurous and have a Mac with lots of USB ports or internal slots (i.e a MacPro) you could make a CD server with lots of disk drives and share each one of them, so every one over a network can access them. However, if it has come to that it may be worth ripping the disk to a disk image and making a ISO server. Fun idea anyway.

How to disable ads in safari browser?

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of days, University has got really busy and I had no free time at all to do any post. The weekend however has arrived and I have some free time to do some work. Todays post will be about blocking adverts on websites while using Safari. I find that adverts on web pages are getting more an more annoying and some, inevitably, need to be removed from view.

This plugin for Safari is very similar to one for Firefox, called Adblock Plus. They are both designed to block adverts from view. These can include those really annoying half page ones that pop up, or adverts that make no sense and you don’t want to see. Its also very useful if you run on a limited connection and want to save the bandwidth. Some, especially Flash, adverts take up a lot of bandwidth and you may want to remove them.

To install Safar Adblock, head over to this website. Here you can download and install the plugin. You do need Mac OS X 10.5+ and if you are a Snow Leopard user you have to run Safari in 32-bit mode for the plugin to work. Its a useful little plugin which enables your web surfing to be clutter free.

Recover Stored Passwords from Firefox with FirePasswordViewer

Utility to decrypt and recover stored passwords and logins stored by FireFox Web Browse in the local computer system.

FirePasswordViewer is the GUI version of FirePassword tool designed to decrypt sign-on secrets stored by Firefox. Firefox records the login details such as username and password for every website authorized by the user and stores them in the sign-on database file in encrypted format.


FirePasswordViewer tool can decrypt and display these secrets on the same lines as the Firefox built-in password manager. The main advantage of FirePasswordViewer is that it does not require Firefox to be running. This is very useful in recovering the sign-on details when Firefox fails to function properly.

Also FirePasswordViewer can be used to display sign-on secrets from different profile (other than current profile) as well as from the different operating system altogether. This greatly helps forensic investigators who can copy the relevant files from the target system to test machine and view the credentials offline without affecting the target environment. In addition, you will be able to save the shown sign-on information to a file in standard HTML format and you can store it for later reference.

Mozilla Firefox Addons for All Internet Users

Customize and supercharge your Web browsing experience with these awesome Firefox Add-ons!

In this post i'll show you some Firefox addons that are useful to anyone who uses the Web. These extensions make surfing the net, reading email, bookmarking links, and talking to friends easier.

Here is the list of my Top Mozilla Firefox Addons for All Internet Users :

Music Addons

1. FoxyTunes - If you listen to music while you surf, you might find FoxyTunes useful. It embeds audio player controls (play, pause, etc) into Firefox. It can be in the status bar or a toolbar. Supported media players include iTunes, Pandora, Windows Media, Winamp, and lots more.

2. TwittyTunes - Quickly post what you’re listening to (or watching) on Twitter. (Also see TwitterFox for more general purpose Twitter updates.)


Webmail Addons

3. Better Gmail 2 - This addon is a compilation of a bunch of Greasemonkey (required) scripts that enhance Gmail. For the full list of features and screenshots, visit the Better Gmail homepage at Lifehacker.

4. Gmail Manager lets you manage multiple Gmail accounts at the same time. You’re logged into multiple accounts, and get updates via the a new dropdown added to your navigation bar.

5. Yahoo Mail Notifier - If you just want to know when you get new Yahoo mail without all the other features of the Yahoo Toolbar, this addon is for you. It places a small icon in the status bar with the number of new unread messages in your inbox.


Surf the Web

6. Fire Gestures - With this extension, you can use your mouse for much more than clicking. For example, by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse to the left a bit, Firefox will go to the previous page as if you had clicked the Back button.

7. GooglePreview Adds a thumbnail preview next to the Google search results page. Being a visually oriented person who spends a lot of time at Google, this addon is one of my favorites. I like seeing what the linked website looks like before I click through.


Social Networking

8. LinkedIn Companion - Integrates with your webmail (eg., Gmail, Yahoo) and adds a button you can click next to contacts with LinkedIn profiles. Adds a dropdown menu of things you can do with LinkedIn — search jobs, search profiles, add a connection, etc. Useful for people who use LinkedIn extensively for business networking.

9. Facebook Toolbar - Always be on Facebook, literally, by embedding it into your Firefox! This toolbar lets you search Facebook, pop open a sidebar and quickly connect with friends, and get notifications while you surf. With the toolbar, you don’t have to periodically check back in at the Facebook website because you’ll always be connectecd.


Bookmarking

10. Del.icio.us - Del.icio.us is the original social bookmarking service. It lets you bookmark links and organize them by tags. Because it’s a Web based service, all your bookmarks sync up on all your computers. The del.icio.us addon provides buttons to quickly bookmark and tag a webpage, and displays the last few links you’ve bookmarked.

11. Foxmarks - Foxmarks synchronizes your Firefox bookmarks across all the computers you use. Bookmarks are synced via a central location at my.foxmarks.com.

12. Fast Dial creates a page with thumbnail links to your top 15 bookmarks. Links are assigned to numbers, so you can also use the keyboard shortcut ALT- to quickly jump to one of your fast dial websites.


Block Online Advertising

13. Adblock Plus block banner ads from being displayed. The killer feature of this addon is the subscription list. When you install Adblock Plus, you are asked if you want to subscribe to a list of ad servers to be blocked. Choose Yes. The list is maintained by someone else, so by doing nothing other than installing this extension, you’ve eliminated 90% of Web advertising that you used to see.


Other Great Mozilla Firefox Add-ons

15. ChatZilla
16. Google Preview
17. Linkification
18. Flashgot

5. Click on it and look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].


6. That should most likely be the IP address of the sender. If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.

Now, you can find the exact location of the sender by using GeoBytes IP Locator or IP2Location.

What Is A Proxy Server And How To Use It

Instructions on how to use a web proxy server with a variety of browsers.

Proxies are store-and-forward caches. When you configure your web browser to use a proxy, it never connects to the URL. Instead, it always connects to the proxy server, and asks it to get the URL for you. Proxies can be used as a sort of firewall, because it isolates you from connecting to the Internet. When you use a proxy server, your computer will send a request to the proxy server, then the proxy server will send it to the destination (for example a website), the destination will answer the request the proxy has sent and finally the proxy will return the data to you computer. For example when you visit http://supertrickz.blogspot.com/ via proxy.


Why should you use proxy servers?

• Using proxy server you can bypass security/ parental controls
• To scan transmitted content before delivery for malware.
  
• Proxy server is able to increase or decrease the speed of your connection to the Internet depending on the location of the proxy
• Proxy server ( but only anonymous) can hide your IP address (the resource you visit will retrieve the IP of the proxy, and not your
• Proxy servers can help in case some owner of an Internet resource impose restrictions for users from certain countries ( for example hulu.com is only reserved for those from United States, if you are not from United States, you can’t watch videos on hulu.com)

Remotely Control Any Computer in The World Using TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a good program to quickly share desktops with another user. The free version will let you create secure sessions and control what you show to your contact over the internet.

Some time ago i was looking for a software which is able to establish a connection to another pc through internet. Many different remote access softwares exist, but not all are equally fast, reliable, and secure. I found an amazing software "Teamviewer" which lets you remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer that works behind any firewall and NAT proxy. This software has amazing features like file transfer, presentation, remote support, vpn. The best of all is that this software provides remote support. When you try to help your friends with problems in their computer via phone or instant messaging most of the times they don't understand what you are saying and you need to spend precious time explaining them. Using this software you can fix any computer connected to the internet just by sitting in front of your computer. You just have to install this software on your system and ask the people on the other side to install the same and tell u the ID and password. Once you enter the id and password you will be able to connect to their system. People on the other side can watch what you are doing on their computer screen and can learn how to fix the problem themselves if it happens again. You can also record sessions and play them back afterward. These can then be used as tutorials or to go back on what you've done in previous sessions. The login id and password will be valid only for one session.


Here are some key features of TeamViewer:

* Remote Control without Installation
With TeamViewer you can remotely control any PC anywhere on the Internet. No installation is required, just run the application on both sides and connect - even through tight firewalls.

* Remote Presentation of Products, Solutions and Services
The second TeamViewer mode allows you to present your desktop to a partner. Show your demos, products and presentations over the Internet within seconds - live from your screen.

* File Transfer
TeamViewer comes with integrated file transfer that allows you to copy files and folders from and to a remote partner - which also works behind firewalls

* Works behind Firewalls
The major difficulties in using remote control software are firewalls and blocked ports, as well as NAT routing for local IP addresses.
If you use TeamViewer you don't have to worry about firewalls: TeamViewer will find a route to your partner.

* Highest Security Standard
TeamViewer is a very secure solution. The commercial TeamViewer versions feature completely secure data channels with key exchange and RC4 session encoding, the same security standard used by https/SSL.

TeamViewer


Softwares like TeamViewer can be easyly used for hacking. Imagine that this is something like a Trojan (This isn't exactly a Trojan), a Trojan installs on the victims computer without his knowledge and runs in the background which gives you access to his computer. This software proves that hacking is not impossible. Anyway i'll explain about this way of hacking in some other post.
