List Of HTML ASCII Reference

2009-11-08T21:59:00.009+05:30

The ASCII Character Set
ASCII stands for the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange". It was designed in the early 60's, as a standard character-set for computers and hardware devices. ASCII is used on most microcomputers, computer terminals, and printers. In addition to printable characters, the ASCII code includes control characters to indicate carriage return, backspace, and the like.

ASCII assigns a decimal number to each letter of the alphabet (both upper- and lower-case), as well as to the numbers from 0 - 9, and most punctuation signs. Each of these decimal numbers are then transposed into binary for processing, and the end result is a standard code for information exchange.The character-sets used in modern computers, HTML, and Internet are all based on ASCII.
The following table lists the 128 ASCII characters and their equivalent HTML entity codes.

TinEye - Reverse Image Search Engine

2009-10-27T11:35:00.005+05:30

Do Research With Images
TinEye is a reverse image search engine. You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks.

How does TinEye work?
When you submit an image to be searched, TinEye creates a unique and compact digital signature or 'fingerprint' for it, then compares this fingerprint to every other image in our index to retrieve matches. TinEye can even find a partial fingerprint match.

TinEye does not typically find similar images (i.e. a different image with the same subject matter); it finds exact matches including those that have been cropped, edited or resized.

Some Advantages Of Using TinEye?

Find out where an image came from, or get more information about it
Research or track the appearance of an image online
Find higher resolution versions of an image
Locate web pages that make use of an image you have created
Discover modified or edited versions of an image

Do A Simultaneous Search On Google and Bing

2009-10-25T21:31:00.005+05:30

Bing the recently released search engine from Microsoft can be used simultaneously with Google in the same browser window through BingAndGoogle or Bing vs Google web based services. You can compare search results for a certain query in the two rivals engines, Bing and Google.

These sites have a simple and intuitive interface formed by a text area, where you must type the search query (keyword or keyphrase) and a submit button. When you hit the submit button, Bing and Google search engines will be queried simultaneously and the search results will be displayed in two adjacent columns.

The search results listings will be different,Bing will deliver fewer search results than Google.
But this behavior is normal, since Bing was just released by Microsoft and its spiders might still have to work in crawling the web to index more websites.

Bing tends to be an active Google competitor, because new features and functionality are added constantly to it.

Microsoft are liars

2009-10-11T12:40:00.004+05:30

Microsoft used a cracked version of Sound Forge to create files that are inside the Windows Tour folder.The wave files have been made with Sound Forge 4.5 (The cracked version) first cracked by a cracker called "Deepz0ne" .

Deepz0ne was one of the founders of the cracking group "Radium" and cracked the first ever Sound Forge 4.5, for illegal, pirate use.It seems that Microsoft have got the pirate copy, and just made the files on that.

You don't believe Microsoft Is A Liar ?
Then check the following in your Windows Xp .

1. Open C:\Windows\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\WAV. Here you will find many audio files of .wav format.
2. Open any one of these wav files in Notepad or Wordpad.
3. In notepad you will find text in unknown format.
4. Scroll to the bottom and you will see this text 2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forge 4.5.

This text 2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forge 4.5 is added for those Sound Forge 4.5 which are cracked by Deepz0ne.

Now you can very well realize that Microsoft are liars, and also fakes.

We know Microsoft continues fight against piracy.As part of its Genuine Software Initiative, Microsoft has filed lawsuits against 20 resellers that have been distributing illegal copies of the company's software. If such a billion dollar company is not ready to pay for a small software(Sound Forge), why do they expect people to buy their softwares?

Gmail Login Adds CSRF Protection

2009-10-08T19:56:00.005+05:30

Google has silently implemented cross-site request forgery protection for Gmail authentication. The new feature comes in the form of a unique token stored in a browser cookie and checked when the login request is submitted.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks involve tricking a browser to perform a request that was not authorized by its owner and the targeted website to accept it. In this context, CSRF exploits the inherent trust that websites have put in their clients.

In order to track logged in users and not require that they input their credentials for every action they perform, a website stores a session cookie in their browsers. This cookie is cleared when its expiration time is reached or when the user hits the sign out button.

As long as this cookie is still active, users are at risk if they visit a maliciously crafted page that silently instructs their browser to access a link defining an action on the original website. The request will be performed because the user's session is still active.

In order to protect against such attacks, the websites can implement another layer of validation for all requests in the form of unique random tokens, which the attacker doesn't know. CSRF vulnerabilities were discovered in various Google services, including Gmail, before and even though all of them have been patched, the authentication page was left unprotected due to concerns that a token-based implementation might break the login experience for some users.

According to The Register, a Google spokesperson confirmed that CSRF protection was added to the login pages of Gmail and other services. "The security of our users' accounts is very important to us, and we're always looking for ways to make improvements," they noted.

Additional Information On CSRF:

What is Cross Site Request Forgery?
Cross Site Request Forgery (also known as XSRF, CSRF, and Cross Site Reference Forgery) works by exploiting the trust that a site has for the user. Site tasks are usually linked to specific urls (Example: http://site/stocks?buy=100&stock=ebay) allowing specific actions to be performed when requested. If a user is logged into the site and an attacker tricks their browser into making a request to one of these task urls, then the task is performed and logged as the logged in user. Typically an attacker will embed malicious HTML or JavaScript code into an email or website to request a specific 'task url' which executes without the users knowledge, either directly or by utilizing a Cross-site Scripting Flaw. Injection via light markup languages such as BBCode is also entirely possible. These sorts of attacks are fairly difficult to detect potentially leaving a user debating with the website/company as to whether or not the stocks bought the day before was initiated by the user after the price plummeted.

What can be done with CSRF?
Most of the functionality allowed by the website can be performed by an attacker utilizing CSRF. This could include posting content to a message board, subscribing to an online newsletter, performing stock trades, using an shopping cart, or even sending an e-card. CSRF can also be used as a vector to exploit existing Cross-site Scripting flaws in a given application. For example imagine an XSS issue on an online forum or blog, where an attacker could force the user through CSRF to post a copy of the next big website worm. An attacker could also utilize CSRF to relay an attack against a site of their choosing, as we

2009-10-07T19:30:00.005+05:30

Windows 7 Look For Windows XP, MCE or Server 2003
The SevenMizer application was designed to help you transform your Windows XP, MCE or Server 2003 into the look of Windows 7. Therefore nearly 400 files with new Icons, pictures as well as videos are modified. This means that SevenMizer does not provide own files and change your system files.

That has the advantage that SevenMizer works with each language and no changes of the language specifics are made. Even if you select files, which are possibly not at all on your system available or not compatible, the application recognizes this and jumps over these.
This ensures that the system does not become unstable because of wrong modification. After updates if your system data are overwritten, then a renewal of these is possible by using an extra program that is linked by the SevenMizer. The application examines thereby, which files are updated and re-modify only these.

Key Features Of SevenMizer:

7-Look for Windows XP, MCE or Server 2003
