Protect Your Password In A Cyber Cafe And On Public Computers
Jun 30, 2009Sometime you must have gone to a cyber cafe or used public computers to access the internet or mail.
Public computers are most prone to password hacking. Anyone can simply install a keylogger software to hack your password. Keylogging is one of the most insidious threats to a users personal information. Passwords,credit card numbers,etc.
It is very easy for the keylogger to harvest passwords. Each and every keystroke (whatever you type on the keyboard) gets recorded in the keylogger software and the person installing it can easily view what you have typed in.
For example,if you go to hotmail.com and check your mails. Say your ID is aaabbbccc@hotmail.com and password is snoopy2,the keylogger software records your usename and password in its log file as
www.hotmail.comaaabbbccc@hotmail.comsnoopy2
Risky isnt it?
Theres a solution to this problem and you can easily fool the software!!
The keylogger software sees and records everything,but it doesnt understand what it sees,it does not know what to do with keys that are typed anywhere other than the password or user name fields.
So between successive keys of the password if you enter random keys,the keylogger software wont ever come to know where you typed in what..
In the process of recording the keys,the string that the keylogger receives will contain the password,but embedded in so much random junk that discovering it is infeasible.
So...
1. Go to hotmail.com or yahoo.com or any other site where you need to insert a password or PIN.
2. Type in your user ID.
3. Type in the first characterof the password.
4. Click on the address bar in the browser,type in some random charachters.
5. Again go to password field and type in the second character of the password and probably third too.
6. Again go to the address bar and type in a few more random characters.
7. Back to the password field and the next characters of the password.
Keep on repeating the process till you type in the full password in the password field.
Instead of the password snoopy2,the keylogger now gets:
www.hotmail.comspqmlainsdgsosdgfsodgfdpuouuyhdg2
Heres a total of 26 random characters have been inserted among the 7 characters of the actual password!
No doubt it takes a little bit of more time than the usual process,but you are safe and secure that way!
Moving Data Between Computers
Sep 9, 2009I made a backup of my ancient computer and put the whole thing in an external hard disk.
Now, when I opened my external hard disk, I found a lot of .dat files. I am wondering how can I convert them to something human readable, or how can I move the information to my new computer!
Why Can't I Get To My Webpage From Other Computers On The Internet
Jul 23, 2009so i already have a registered domain name (www dot guiceassociates dot com) which has a DNS record with an authoritative DNS server linking my domain to my IP address 70.91.50.213 (nslookup using "www dot guiceassociates dot com" or "www dot guiceassociates dot co dot uk" will confirm this).
I have a linux computer(it is successfully running apache, php5, and mysql, and the firewall has http services as an allowed service) that i am using as my webserver. i have statically assigned it the ip address 192.168.200.3
My router is configured to forward port 80 traffic to 192.168.200.3
however, when i type www dot guiceassociates dot com into a browser window from another computer, i get nothing (cannot connect to server)
I'm still new to the idea of hosting my own web server, so any and all advice is welcome, but my ultimate question is:
why isn't this set up working?
Apache :: Unable To See Symlink From Other Computers
May 12, 2015I installed Apache2. In the the folder "var/www/html" I created a symlink to a different HDD that holds a number of movie files. My thinking is that it would be easy to access the movies through a browser from any computer on my local network.
I used the following command string while in the html directory, and created the symlink:
ln -sd /media/guy/movie1/Movies test
While sitting at the server, when I click on "test" it opens the correct directory and exposes the files. If I surf to apache from another machine it does not show the symlink.
Here the permissions on the symlink
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 11 19:56 test -> /media/guy/movie1/Movies
Excerpt from Apache access log:

Cloud Computing :: Use External Computers To Do Super Computer Sized Tasks
May 6, 2008I just heard this story on NPR yesterday discussing cloud computing, how you can use external computers to do super-computer sized tasks without having the hardware in house yourself.
If we host colocated servers, how feasible is it to get our servers into that game?
Best Free "remote Control" Software For Managing A Few Dozen Computers? (Nonprofit)
May 23, 2008I have a client who runs a non-profit organization that puts computer kiosks (running Windows XP) in public areas where low-income people can use them for free. They take old computers, put them back together, and then install them into local grocery stores, gas stations, etc.. where people can use them for free.
This is non-profit work, so their budget is pretty much spent on hardware and upkeep of the computers. (ie: internet connections, Windows licenses, etc.)
They have about 3 dozen computers now, and managing them is becoming more and more time consuming and difficult so they have asked if I can make some suggestions to make things more efficient (easier).
All the computers are built with a hidden partition which contains a drive image. If the computer gets too "screwy", then they can simply re-image the machine and "restart". However, this requires a trip to the local computer, which takes a lot of time, and all of this is done by volunteers...)
One idea I had was to use "remote control" software so the volunteers doing the work don't have to actually go and physically see the computer when debugging a problem, updating software, reimaging the drive, or whatever.
A typical problem might be that the store owner where the machine is deployed will call and say, "It's not working any more". So now a volunteer must go and visit the computer to see what's wrong... but with remote control software they could simply login remotely, fix whatever is the problem, or if needed start the drive re-image.. without ever needing to visit the computer. (Save time!)
So... I've done quite a bit of research on remote control software, and there seems to be lots of "for pay" options. However, the organization just does not have the budget to pay for remote control on a few dozen computers. (Also, they are expecting to roll this out in multiple cities soon, so the solution must be scalable, and paying per computer just isn't realistic given their budget.)
I found the "VNC" remote control software, and that seems to be perfect. It's free, and seems to work well.
However, there are no less then 10 different "flavors" of VNC available, so I'm hoping perhaps a few people here might be able to recommend which one is the best solution. tightVNC, ultraVNC, miniVNC, there are even a few pay (one time small fee) projects.
I have no idea which one is best for them, and I just don't have time myself to investigate and test this all out to make an informed decision.
I'm hoping you can help me narrow down the many choices to either one or two options.
Here's what it needs to do:
- Needs to be "always on" so that the remote control software works immediately after the computer boots. (ie: Even if nobody logs in, remote user should still be able to see the screen and do a login.)
- Be impossible for computer users to remove.
- Be able to take control of the machine without anyone being physically present to click "ok" prompts or accept incoming connection, etc.
- Work with remote machines that are in a LAN with an unknown IP. (Some of the computers are plugged into an existing LAN so that they can use the existing internet connectivity.) In this case, the remote machine does not have a public IP, and the current IP might change after each reboot. The remote control software must be able to "see" the local machine, even if the IP changes, etc... (Maybe some software that runs on the remote machine that "sends" its IP or updates a hostname to an intermediary server every few minutes?
- Allow file transfers between remote machine and controlling machine.
