Deadliest Keylogger - Hardware Keylogger

Everyone might be aware of the keyloggers. The small piece of software that records the sentences and commands that the user inputs into the computer. It is used to steal personal information, including the user's name, account number, PIN and email address. Well, not always, but most of the time, it is easy to detect the presence of keylogger on some foreign or shared computer. Therefore, by restricting yourself from using some confidential information on shared computer, you can protect your important documents.

Now what about your own computer? Well you use latest and updated antivirus and antispyware, you protect your system with smart password, you monitor each and every outgoing connection. Still, you can be hacked !!!!! And the hacker is a small nifty device called hardware keylogger.

A hardware key logger is a small piece of hardware which is usually inserted between the keyboard port and the keyboard. The hardware key logger then records all user keystrokes to it's internal memory. These devices have memory capacities between 8Kb and 2MB. Sitting between your keyboard and its port, this tiny plug-in device records every keystroke typed on any PC computer.

It can record and retrieve everything typed, including emails, chatroom activity, instant messages, website addresses, search engine searches and more .

Features Of Keylogger :

1) Easy to use. No new software to install or learn. (software free device)
2) Installs in seconds, just plug it in.
3) Can be unplugged and information retrieved on another PC.
4) Uses no system resources.
5) Excellent real-time backup device.

Price :

Hardware Keylogger ranges from $129 to $299. The price depends upon the encryption technology used by the keylogger.

Conclusion :

Hardware keylogger is the deadliest keylogger I've ever came across. By formatting your computer, you can relieve yourself from software keylogger but what about the hardware piece if you are not able to spot it ?

Rapidshare Renewed

Some days ago, Rapidshare modified the point system for its Free Users like me. For those who are not aware of Rapidshare, they can see this article from wikipedia. Now free users can also generate point from premium users. These will be called rapidpoints. But maximum of 250 rapidpoints is that all you can generate in a day.

Before, free users collected the point when a file was downloaded by another free user.

As a post in news of Rapidshare Site, this was mentioned :

"In the past, Premium and Collector's Accounts were only credited a RapidPoint when a file was downloaded by a Free User.

From now on, Premium Downloads can generate up to 255 additional RapidPoints per day. Those extra points will be displayed in the account overview in the Premium or Collector's Zone.

Once a day, the extra points will be added to the Premium or Collector's Account's RapidPoints balance and the extra points counter will be reset to zero."

Well, is it good or bad, we will see in coming days but it is still good for me as I am generating nearly 100 points everyday.

Make Orkut Free From Google Ads

Internet is a vast place for people like us who like to surf from one site to another. Social networking sites are just one more place to surf. These sites such as Orkut, MySpace, Hi5 or FaceBook have penetrated so deep into our lives that the moment we start surfing, we logon to these sites first.

Orkut is one of social networking sites owned by Google. Though it's only popular in Brazil and India, but for some reason, Alexa says Orkut is the 9th most visited site in Ireland.

One thing which I have been annoyed of lately is the Google Ads shown by Google in the community homepage as this one.


But applying my hack you can free yourself from these ads in a cool place like Orkut.

Hack

First and foremost requirement of this hack is that you should be using Mozilla Firefox. This Open Source piece of software is best software I've ever came across.

Fire your Firefox and proceed to this addon link -> AdBlock Plus . According to their developers

"Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them."

Click "Add to Firefox" and install the addon for your browser. Next step is restart your browser. Now everyone must be thinking how this can be called a hack when it comes to just installing a simple addon. Wait!!!


Whenever you want to block an ad, just right click it and click "AdBlock Image". But clicking all the ads inside Orkut is an impossible task because for that you have to search each and every community. But ever noticed that what is common with all these ads, their command format is

http://www.orkut.co.in/AdsIframe.aspx?xxxxxxx

This page is responsible for generating the Adsense code and placement of ads on pages.

Follow the next step and block all the Google ads. Right click any Google ads and click "Adblock Image". A box will popup and just enter "http://www.orkut.co.in/AdsIframe.aspx" . Bingo !!! You will blocked that main page which generates the ads.

This way you can block all the ads in Orkut. Liked the hack, I'll be waiting for your precious comments.

MassMirror : Smart Way To Upload To Multiple File Hosts

MassMirror.com is one of my favourite file hosting site. The speciality of this site is that it lets you upload a file to multiple file hosting services such as Rapidshare , Megaupload ,etc.

Now what is the use of that ? Many file hosts have daily download limits and other restrictions so if you want your file to be easily accessible it makes sense to distribute it far and wide. Also, if you're expected heavy traffic like a Slashdotting or Digg effect, mirroring files to multiple sites is a smart way to save on bandwidth costs. Currently, the file hosting servies supported by MassMirror are Rapidshare, Megaupload, Depositfiles, Sendspace, Zshare, Badongo, and 4filehosting.


How to Upload :

Either you can upload the file directly from your computer or you can specify the URL of a file that you want mirrored. After MassMirror gets a copy of your file, it re-uploads it to the 7 file hosts that it currently supports. This is extremely fast. After the uploading is over, MassMirror provides you the link of the file.


Conclusion :

MassMirror not only saves your time from re-uploading the files again and again, but it also saves your precious bandwidth. Hope this post prove useful to you. Waiting for your precious comments.

Learn How To Add Feeds In Orkut

An RSS Feed is a tool that is dynamically generated summary of websites or information which changes when the website or information changes. The simplest way of adding feed is first to find the the RSS source, the web address for the feed and then add it to the feed reader. For example, the feed of this blog is http://feeds.feedburner.com/techcone.

But if you are using Orkut, there is no need of feed reader. You can use Orkut Feed reader to fetch your feeds and keep you updated.


To this, open home page of your profile and click "edit" in "Apps" section on left hand side.

Then click "My Feeds". And in the URL section, add the desired feed. And that's all.



For example, adding url "http://feeds.feedburner.com/techcone" will subscribe to feed of my blog and you will always be updated of the changes in the blog. You can subscribe to my blog and always remain updated.

Whenever you want to check updates of my blog, just click feed of my blog in your homepage of Orkut and you will be notified of latest posts.

BitTorrent - Make Your Machine A Torrent Tracker

One of my friend referred me to an article where I was amazed to see the power of P2P model. The title of article revealed itself to me.

"Dropping 22TB of patches on 6,500 PCs in 4 hours: BitTorrent"

What they did was to use bittorrent to deploy the patches. By this, there was no need of buying more servers nor there was any need felt to increase the bandwidth.

Therefore this article is dedicated on how make your own machine a BitTorrent Tracker.

Server :

The server will consist of Ubuntu with all the typical applications of LAMP. We need to have Apache with MySql and PHP so that we can install a tracker such as phpMyBittorrent on it. Though the installtion can also be done on any Windows machine, still I would recemmond you to install Ubuntu.

In the tracker software, I would create several different categories based on the target systems that I would use. For example, there would be Windows XP, Windows Vista, Office 2007, etc. categories. Each category would have its own RSS feed.

Main Steps For Server :

1) Download phpMyBittorrent from here.
2) Extract the downloaded zip file to the www folder of Apache.
3) Open the URL "http://localhost/html/index.php"
4) Follow the instructions.

Client :

At the client side, you can use any torrent client like uTorrent, BitTorrent, or BitTornado. You can make the torrent from uTorrent which has an option to make torrents. Then upload that torrent to the server and start seeding it.

Conclusion :

I think that this type of a delivery system has great potential. You could even use it across slow bandwidth links or to deploy other software, not just patches.

This is a project that I am hoping to spend some time on over the next while but I am looking for your input/suggestions now so that I can hopefully avoid some pitfalls later. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
