Empty Recycle Bin Data For All User In a Second

2013-04-23T18:23:00.003+05:30

All you need is the access to the admin account and by running the following command prompt command in the elevated command prompt, you can delete all the files off the recycle bin of all the user accounts.

Open the cmd and type in the following command:

rd /s c:\$Recycle.Bin

Note that this command will empty the recycle bin contents of only the C drive. So if you wish to empty the contents of recycle bin of some other drive too then type it as rd /s d:\$Recycle.Bin

But I would advise you to be cautious as you won’t want to delete any important file or would you?

Save Your Voicemail into Mp3 Audio

2013-04-18T11:40:00.001+05:30

Voicemails are very handy as they allow us to leave the recipient updated of our plans when we are unable to reach him or when he is busy to Answer the phone.

Saving the voicemails to your computer is easy and requires a simple tool called as iBackupBot for iTunes (or any other iPhone Backup Manager software)

iBackupBot for iTunes is a simple backup manager for iPhone that can analyze the iPhone backups saved in your computer and copy any data from that into your computer. So the first step here is to backup your iphone with iTunes so that it contains all the voice-mails that are there in your phone.

Now you need to run this tool. It will automatically detect the backups saved in your computer and will present the data file in the left window whereas on the right side you will see all the data. Scroll down to find the voicemails present and select those which you want to transfer. Now go to File -> Export and save the file to your local computer

Converting .amr file to .mp3

After your voicemails are transferred from your iPhone to your computer, you will see that those are in .amr format. So if you wish to convert the file format from amr to mp3 then you will need an audio converter that like Switch or Amrplayer. (If you can’t download amrplayer, then any audio converter will do).

This way you can save your iPhone Voicemails into your computer in mp3 format Let me know if it helped you.

Disable Automatic System Restart after Windows Update

2013-04-18T11:27:00.000+05:30

System Restart after any Windows Update has been installed. This is handled beautifully in Linux OS, where no update requires the machine to restart. It is really irritating when we need to close all our windows and the files we are currently working upon just to restart the machine.

Although there is a feature to postpone the system restart but to some time only, ultimately, we have to restart the system to install the updates. Well here is a tip and little workaround using which you don’t need to restart the system whenever the Windows Updates. Just ensure you have the admin privileges in your machine else you won’t be able to do the steps.

Steps to prevent auto system restart after Windows Updates:

1. Type gpedit.msc in the Run (Win + R) box to open Group policy editor.

2. Now we need to go to the following location

Computer Configration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update

Click on the Windows Update folder as shown.

3. It now opens some items in the right hand side menu, look for the key

“No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations”

4. Now we need to enable this key so that the system do not restarts next time the Windows Updates are installed.

Double click on the key and set it to Enabled.

5. After the key has been enabled we can make the changes to affect immediately by typing the following command in the Run box

gpupdate /force

This will forcefully update the group settings and we don’t need to restart the machine. So from now on, next time you are installing any Windows Update you don’t need to restart the machine.

One Step Cloud Backup For Android Phones

2013-04-18T11:06:00.002+05:30

The data stored on your Android phone is important to you, and the last thing you would want is the data gets lost, erased or destroyed. This can happen due to several reasons, and even a single app that gets stuck or cause the handset to malfunction can remove all data on your device.

There are several Android apps that can be used to create a backup to the cloud. Here are some details regarding a few of them:

• G Cloud backup

G Cloud backup secures the data into the cloud. The files that can be backed up by this app are for music, videos, documents, contacts, images, call logs and SMS. The user can select the things that are to be backed up. G Cloud backup relies on socket layer for the transfer process. There’s also an option available to create automatic backups. The backed up data can be restored on the same or different device.

BitTorrent Surf Beta extension

Surf is an extension that is supposed to transform your browser into a BitTorrent client. The little popup-bubble style extension lets you search for torrents and download them straight from your browser. It even lets you add various sources as search engines and even recommends other possible engines. We tried it out and within minutes a friendly little notification prompted us to add thepiratebay.se. Other features include a recommendation engine that is supposed to intelligently suggest other content based on your download habits. So for instance if you download a couple of trance packages it’ll point you to some more.

Facebook Home Now In Play Store

2013-04-16T23:26:00.002+05:30

Android: Facebook announced their new social home screen replacement called Facebook Home last week, and today it's available in the Play Store for certain devices.

The suite of apps puts more focus on your friends and social sharing than the separate apps you use to communicate, with a new home and lock screen, a new notifications area, and (of course) serious Facebook integration. Facebook Home is available for the HTC First, HTC One X and One X+, the Samsung Galaxy S III, and the Galaxy Note II. Support for the HTC One and Galaxy S4 are coming in the future, along with (hopefully) other devices.

Diffrence b/w Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 ethernet Cables

2013-04-12T21:22:00.000+05:30

A difference between all those network cables. They look very similar from the outside, and any of them will plug into an Ethernet port, but they do have some differences on the inside. If you aren't sure what type of cables you have, look at the text printed on the cable—usually it will tell you what type it is. The differences between each type of cable can get very complicated and have a lot to do with network standards, but we'll tell you just what you need to know: how they'll practically affect the speed of your home network.

Cat5: A Little Older, A Little Slower

Category 5 cabling, also known as Cat5, is an older type of network cabling. Cat5 cables were made to support theoretical speeds of 10Mbps and 100Mbps. You may be able to get gigabit speeds on a Cat5 cable, particularly if the cable is shorter, but it isn't always guaranteed.
Since Cat5 is an older type of cabling, you probably won't see them very much in the store, but you may have gotten some with an older router, switch, or other networking device.

Cat5e: Faster with Less Interference

Category 5 enhanced cabling, also known as Cat5e, is an improvement on Cat5 cabling. It was made to support 1000 Mbps "gigabit" speeds, so in theory, it's faster than Cat5. It it also cuts down on crosstalk, the interference you can sometimes get between wires inside the cable. Both of these improvements mean you're more likely to get fast, reliable speed out of Cat5e cabling compared to Cat5.

Cat6: Even Faster, But Not Super Necessary

Category 6 cabling is the next step up from Cat5e, and includes a few more improvements. It has even stricter specifications when it comes to interference, and in some cases is capable of 10-Gigabit speeds. You probably won't use these speeds in your home, and the extra interference improvements won't make a huge difference in regular ueage, so you don't exactly need to rush out and upgrade to Cat6. But, if you're buying a new cable, you might as well, since it is an improvement over its predecessor.

So Which Should You Use?

It's important to note that your network speed is different than your internet speed. Chances are, upgrading your cables isn't going to make a difference in how fast you load Lifehacker or Facebook—your internet speeds are still much slower than speeds on your network. However, if you're transferring files between computers using gigabit-compatible hardware can make things move along faster. Remember, though, you'll need more than just cables—to get gigabit speeds, you'll also need a gigabit-compatible router and gigabit-capable network cards in your computers. Most modern routers and cards are already capable of these fast speeds, but if you have any older PCs or routers, they might not be.

What is OLED & Types Of it

2013-04-12T20:46:00.001+05:30

An OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electrode-luminescent layer is a film of organic compound which emits light in response to an electric current. This layer of organic semiconductor is situated between two electrodes. Generally, at least one of these electrodes is transparent. OLEDs are used to create digital displays in devices such as television screens, computer monitors, portable systems such as mobile phones, handheld games consoles and PDAs

Types of OLEDs: Passive and Active Matrix

There are several types of OLEDs:

Passive-matrix OLED
Active-matrix OLED
Transparent OLED
Top-emitting OLED
Foldable OLED
White OLED

Each type has different uses. In the following sections, we'll discuss each type of OLED. Let's start with passive-matrix and active-matrix OLEDs.

Passive-matrix OLED (PMOLED)

PMOLEDs have strips of cathode, organic layers and strips of anode. The anode strips are arranged perpendicular to the cathode strips. The intersections of the cathode and anode make up the pixels where light is emitted. External circuitry applies current to selected strips of anode and cathode, determining which pixels get turned on and which pixels remain off. Again, the brightness of each pixel is proportional to the amount of applied current.

PMOLEDs are easy to make, but they consume more power than other types of OLED, mainly due to the power needed for the external circuitry. PMOLEDs are most efficient for text and icons and are best suited for small screens (2- to 3-inch diagonal) such as those you find in cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players. Even with the external circuitry, passive-matrix OLEDs consume less battery power than the LCDs that currently power these devices.

Active-matrix OLED (AMOLED)

AMOLEDs have full layers of cathode, organic molecules and anode, but the anode layer overlays a thin film transistor (TFT) array that forms a matrix. The TFT array itself is the circuitry that determines which pixels get turned on to form an image.
AMOLEDs consume less power than PMOLEDs because the TFT array requires less power than external circuitry, so they are efficient for large displays. AMOLEDs also have faster refresh rates suitable for video. The best uses for AMOLEDs are computer monitors, large-screen TVs and electronic signs or billboards.

Android Jelly Bean 50 Essential Tips and Tricks

2013-01-03T05:53:00.001+05:30

Jelly Bean may not be the same huge leap forward as Ice Cream Sandwich, but it still brings a lot of new features and functionality to the operating system.

Many of these are improvements to the smoothness of rendering on the device - it even briefly boosts the CPU when the screen's turned on to make things super slick and speedy. Google dubs these little performance and software improvements as being "buttery", assumedly referring to some nice spreadable Lurpak rather than a solidified hunk of congealed milk.

The other big addition here is Google Now. This adds personalised recommendations and information based on your browsing history. Some people love its perceptive usefulness, others hate its pervy, intrusive nature.

One thing's for sure though: the Siri-like voice search feature is awesome.

As ever, these tips are based on the vanilla installation of Android, so your mileage may vary depending on how many layers of extra "features" have been added by your phone or tablet's manufacturer.

1. Say "Google" to search

If you're in America, you can open Google Now and say "Google" followed by your query to search the net. If you're not in America, you can trick Android into thinking you are. Open the settings on your device, choose "Language and input", then switch Google Voice Typing's language from "Automatic" to "English (US)". Next go to Google Now's settings and again change the language to "English (US)". You should see "Search or say Google" in Now's search bar. Faking an American accent: optional.

2. Now settings

You can open now in two ways - either swipe up from the Home icon, or swipe the lock icon up when the screen is locked. When you first start it, Now will run through the basics of what it does, and even show you some example cards. In Now's settings, you'll find each card has its own notifications settings, which apply to both the Now home-screen and the Notification shade. Standard means that new cards are accompanied by a ringtone and vibration, Low priority places them at the bottom of the list without any notification, and off, well, turns them off altogether.

3. Talk to Google Now

Google Now also includes Siri-like functionality, supplying spoken answers to your inane questions. Try things like, "what time is it in Kuala Lumpur?", "when's Tom Cruise's birthday I want to send him a card?", "how do I get home?" or "will it be sunny tomorrow?" and Now will speak the answer back at you or search the web for relevant pages.

4. Get more Google Now cards

Google Now presents relevant information such as weather and places on "cards". To begin with it may be a little sparse, but searching the web from any device will give you more. Just make sure your web history is enabled: visit history.google.com, hit the settings cog and ensure that Web History is on and not paused. Next, search Google for favourite football teams, planned flights and destinations and the relevant cards will pop up automatically.

5. Notification Shade

We previously referred to it as the "pully-down menu thing", but apparently it's officially called the "Notification Shade". Niftily, certain notifications in the shade can be expanded by sliding two fingers outwards on them, giving you an overview of the subject headers in your email inbox, for example. Moving two fingers inwards on a notification neatly contracts them, too.

6. Rotation lock

You're sitting on a plane watching a vid in horizontal orientation. Suddenly, the plane banks sharply to the left and - oh no! - the video changes orientation. This worst-case-scenario can be avoided by tapping the rotation lock in the Notification Shade, which keeps the screen in its current orientation. Tap it again to unlock the rotation.

7. Turn notifications off

Install enough apps and the notification bar at the top of your Android device becomes the digital equivalent of an unending stream of ticker tape. In fact, Airpush is an entire advertising company that makes money in this way. Fortunately, each and every app you install in Jelly Bean has the option to turn this off. Go to its info page under Apps, uncheck the box labelled "Show notifications" and enjoy your empty notifications bar.

8. Equalize your music

The ability to adjust those all-important bass and treble settings has been sorely missed on Android devices - so much so that a bunch of apps have been made to enable it. It's fixed in Android's stock music player, though. Open a music file in the stock player, hit Settings then choose Equaliser. Here you'll find manual sliders, a load of presets and bass and 3D effects. Unfortunately it doesn't work for the whole device, but it will give your tunes a little more oomph.

9. Rearrange your home screens

Long-press on any icon or widget on your homescreen and you can move it around, and other icons and widgets will shift out of the way to fit it in. Bigger widgets can also be re-sized by long-pressing and releasing them, and then dragging the circles that appear on the edges. It's actually quite fun and satisfying. We just spent three hours doing nothing but this.

10. Fling to remove

Homescreen app clutter (surely the worst of all types of clutter) can be quickly and easily defeated. Long-press an icon or widget, then fling it upwards and it'll ascend into shortcut heaven. This won't uninstall the app, though - it'll still reside in your app drawer.

11. Owner info

Wait! Put down that blunt rock you were about to use to chisel your contact details into the back of your Android device! Jelly Bean includes the ability to display a few lines of contact details on the lock screen, such as your email address, name and phone number. You'll need to enable a screen lock from Security, and then you'll see the Owner info option appear. This information is mirrored across all Jelly Bean devices, too.

12. Access App info

The all-important App info screen - which allows you to uninstall, stop and disable apps - can be accessed in a completely new way with Jelly Bean. Pull down the notification shade, long-press on an open task and you'll be taken straight to the settings page for the relevant app. It's handy if you don't know which app displayed the notification.

13. Volume controls

You can now set the volume for all the noisiest bits of your Android device individually. Press the volume up or down key and you'll the familiar little slider with a settings icon to the right of this. Tap this and you'll see separate sliders for media, and notifications and ringtones. Bonus tip: each of these sliders can be, er, slid, with your finger.

14. Talkback

Designed for blind and low-vision users, Talkback provides an ongoing narration of what's displayed on your phone or tablet. You can turn it on via Accessibility, and then you'll be taken through a tutorial of its functions. It's a very different way of navigating your device, and quite interesting to experience. It also supports braille input and output devices via USB and Bluetooth.

15. Blink to unlock

While face unlock is smart and quick, more paranoid users may worry that a ne'er-do-weller could somehow steal an image of their face - or their actual face - and use it to access the device. Android's Liveness check requires the user to blink before the device is unlocked, preventing access if a quick eye-shut isn't detected.

16. Offline speech-to-text

Being able to dictate long and rambling texts to loved ones is quite an old Android feature, but it's just got a whole lot better with an offline mode. Go to Google voice typing settings under Language & input and choose Download offline speech recognition. Now you'll be able to dictate that great novel without being distracted by Reddit.

17. Beam it across

Android Beam works with near-field communication (NFC) to enable fast data exchange between two devices. You'll need to make sure it's enabled first - you'll find it under Wireless & networks. You'll also need to know where the NFC area is on your device. This isn't a problem for phones, but it can be just about anywhere on the back of a ludicrously large tablet, so do a quick Google to find out where it is.

18. Simple secure pairing

Simple secure pairing works alongside NFC to provide a quick and easy way to connect Bluetooth accessories such as headsets, speakers and keyboards. You don't actually need to do anything other than activate NFC to use it, but make sure whatever you're pairing with is Simple secure pairing-compatible.

19. Calendar notifications

Any events you've been invited to via Google Calendar will show up in the notifications blind. From here you can expand it and quickly send a pre-defined response (Such as "I'll be there in 10 minutes") or type your own. Quick responses can be edited from within the General settings of the Calendar app itself. Perfect for you social butterflies.

20. Gallery views

Android snappers will love its new gallery features. Pinch on photos to zoom out into a filmstrip mode, where all your pics are displayed side-by-side. Swipe left and right to browse all your snaps quickly, and slide up and down on individual images to delete them. The gallery then gives you just enough time to realise you've canned the wrong thing and undo your delete.

21. Wi-Fi savings

It's all too easy to run up costs when you're on public or mobile WiFi. Tethering a tablet to a phone can suck a surprising amount of data, and public WiFi, such as that found in hotels, sometimes have ridiculously strict usage policies. In Jelly Bean's Data usage settings you'll find the option to designate certain WiFi networks as Mobile hotspots, which stops background apps accessing data and could save you lots of cash. If there's another Jelly Bean device on the same network it'll pick up its Mobile hotspot settings, too.

22. Try the stock keyboard

The Swiftkey keyboard is enormously popular among Android users, and for good reason: it monitors your typing and grammatical style uses this to predict words. Jelly Bean's keyboard now offers the same functionality, using bigram prediction and correction to complete words and sentences. We've found it to be every bit as good as Swiftkey, and even slightly faster and slicker.

23. Reboot to safe mode

Ah safe mode, the saviour of so many Windows PCs. Thanks to the sheer amount of dodgy apps on the Play Store it's on Android now, too. Long-press the power button, then long-press the Power off option. Choose OK to reboot in safe mode, which completely disables all third-party apps on your device. Then hunt down and destroy that nefarious bit of software..

24. Reset app preferences

Android gives you loads of different options for each installed app, and on the whole this is a very good thing. Sometimes it can be a bad thing, though: you may find your phone playing up because a crucial app has been disabled, or you've changed the notifications for something important like emails. In the apps drawer, you'll find Reset app preferences under the settings. This resets all your apps on a global level, returning actions and data settings to their original levels.

25. Add emojis

"Emojis" are the Japanese version of emoticons, and like most things from Japan they're much better and cooler than their western counterparts. You can enable emoji support for the default Jelly Bean keyboard by choosing Language & input in the settings app, then going to the settings for the stock Android keyboard. Here, choose Add-on dictionaries and select Emoji for English words. When you next type certain words (there's a complete list here) you'll see its symbol appear in the predictions bar. It's like Wingdings never died.

26. Sound search

The good news: Google has created its own version of Shazam. Known as What's that Song?, the widget works in much the same way, matching snippets of music to its database and providing you with the artist, track and album. The bad news: due to licencing restrictions it's only available in certain countries, and we don't live in one of them. Keep an eye on your widgets tray when you update, though - Google could well re-implement it in the future.

27. Add accounts

Android devices - especially tablets - are great for passing around and sharing. But until now switching between various Google accounts has involved wiping the whole device and starting again. Jelly Bean's handy Add account feature takes pride of place in the settings app, making it easy to add multiple Gmail addresses to your device. There's still no quick way of switching users, but it is a step in the right direction.

28. Take and share screenshots

The number of times we've pressed the power button and volume down to take a screenshot is truly astonishing. It gets even better in Jelly Bean - as soon as you've taken a screenshot, you can expand its notification from the blind and share it from there. Perfect for showing off just how handsome and brilliant Android is to your iOS friends.

29. Device encryption

Paranoid users with sensitive materials on their devices love encryption: it basically scrambles all your content so it can't be read by hackers or thieves. It's been a part of Android for a while, but Jelly Bean gets it spot on, even periodically reminding you to encrypt your device. You'll find Encryption under your phone or tablet's security settings.

30. Voice searches on the go

Plug an Android-compatible headset into your device, then long press its button and voila: Google voice search. You'll get spoken results and answers straight into your brain, and it comes in especially useful if you're lost but don't want to stop listening to your banging, disorientating tunes.

31. Add quick controls to the browser

One of the options buried beneath the Labs section of Android 4.0's web browser is the Quick Controls option. This adds a pop-out menu to the browser, which pulls in a little semi-circular collection of shortcuts to the main browser features, removing the URL bar and giving you more screen to play with. Also, holding down the Back button is the Android standard way of bringing up the bookmarks and history tool, too. But that's been around for years.

32. Long-press to uninstall

Long-pressing on an app within the app drawer lets you drag it to a Home screen, but it also pops up a couple of menus along the top of the screen. App Info gives you the boring technical stuff about how much memory it's taking up, or you can fling it off the other way to uninstall it.

33. Flying Android screensaver

One odd undocumented little secret within Android 4.0 is this strange little collection of flying Androids, which you can... look at. Look at for as long as you like. To activate it, head into the phone's About screen and hammer away at the Android Version tab and it'll all happen.

34. Save your eyes with inverted rendering

Inverted rendering is a posh way of saying it makes the pages black and turns the text white, so it looks like you're reading the internet from 1997. It also supposedly saves battery, plus is easier on the eyes if you're reading in the dark. It's under the browser's settings tab, within the accessibility area - and there's a contrast slider, too.

35. Set a custom rejection text message

When your Twitter action is rudely interrupted by someone actually telephoning you, there's a polite way to give the caller the boot. Android 4.0 lets users ping a rejection text message to callers - and you're able to customise this too. Just answer a call and ping the lock screen notification up to access to custom rejection messaging area.

36. Stop app icons automatically appearing

One of the many new ICS features is the way Google lets apps automatically add shortcuts to themselves on your Home screen when they've finished installing. It's useful, but if you're a control freak and wish to remain 100% in charge of your Home layout, head to the Google Play app's settings tab and untick the Auto-add Shortcuts toggle.

37. There's a Settings shortcut in the Notifications pane

That little settings icon in the ICS notifications area isn't just art to fill the space. It's a shortcut to your phone or tablet's settings area. So use that instead of giving it a Home screen icon slot all to itself.

38. Manually close apps

Google's lovely new recent apps multitasking menu also lets you close apps quickly, should you suspect one's gone rogue. A Long-press within the Recent Apps listing lets you visit the app's info page, from where you can easily force close it.

39. Remove the lock screen

It's possible to entirely bin your Android 4.0 lock screen, making the phone instantly turn itself on when you press the power button. It's a security nightmare, but if your phone lives entirely on your desk and you demand instant access without any unlocking, head to Security > Screen lock and select none. Then be very careful.

40. Folders in the dock

Android's new official love of folder formation makes it dead easy to combine app shortcuts and make folders, simply by dragging one icon on top of another. You can make these groups of apps even easier to access by dragging a folder onto the ICS floating dock, meaning you can squeeze stacks more content on to each creaking Home screen.

41. Take photos while recording video

The Android 4.0 camera app that arrived with the Galaxy Nexus has one cool little extra feature - the ability to fire off still photos while recording video clips. Simply tapping the screen takes a shot at full resolution, which is saved to the phone's gallery while the video's still happily recording away.

42. Bin animations and transitions

Hidden within the Developer Options section of the Ice Cream Sandwich software are quite a few nerdy ways to adapt your phone. Most won't be of any use to those who are just using their phone as a phone, but if you want it to feel faster, or at least look a little different, the scrolling, zooming effects on windows and menus can be edited in many ways.

43. Take a grab of your phone

Screen grabbing of your phone's display is finally in Android. On the Galaxy Nexus, it's activated through holding the power button and volume down switch. On HTC's new models it's done by holding the power button and pressing Home. Other phones had different techniques for doing this before Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's good to see this now becoming part of the standard Android feature set in Android 4.0.

44. Long-press dotted words

When typing on the Android 4.0 keyboard, you may see some suggested words appear with the "..." icon beneath. Doing a long-press on this one will pop up a much bigger window of suggested words, letting you bail out on some of that tedious typing a little quicker.

45. Add additional faces

The ICS face unlock feature, as found in the Galaxy Nexus, lets you unlock it by scanning your face with the front camera. Which is great, but what if you haven't shaved for a month? The software can actually store multiple images of your face, so you can do left parting, right parting, shaved, unshaved - or even add a trusted a friend to the visually verified user list.

46. Experiment with GPU settings

Another hidden little gem found within the Development options tab is the hardware acceleration 'Force On' toggle. This makes ICS attempt to boost the performance of any apps that don't already use the feature. It may also break them in the process, though, so it's something of a trial and error fiddling exercise to do on a very rainy day.

47. Type like an adult

Make a stand for grammatical standards in this day and age by long-pressing on the stock Android 4.0 keyboard's full stop button. This brings up such doomed punctuation as commas and speech marks, plus even a semicolon for the extra brave mobile typist.

48. Nick wallpapers off the internet

Found a lovely photograph of some stars, a pretty computer generated planet or even the mighty Professor Brian Cox himself? Long-pressing on any image in the web browsers lets you instantly set it as your wallpaper, without the hassle of saving it, finding it, and setting it the long way.

49. Limit background process

If you fancy an even more serious bit of fiddling, the same ICS developer area contains the option to "limit background process" demands by the OS. You can use this to stop your phone or tablet storing so many apps in memory. Whether this has any effect of the actual battery life of us users is up for debate, but again, it's something to play with and see if it suits your phone use patterns.

50. Quickly access Notifications

Here's a simple yet huge change Google's made in Android 4.0 - the Notifications pane can be accessed from the lock screen. Press power, touch the Notifications area, then scroll down to read your latest messages. Obviously it's a bit of a security risk and lets anyone access your messages, so best be careful.

Shutdown PC Remotely via SMS/Email

2012-12-25T17:23:00.002+05:30

In this tutorial, I am going to teach you how you can control your computer’s basic function using Microsoft Outlook and your Cell Phone Network. For this tutorial I am demonstrating how a user can shutdown, restart, hibernate their computer, just by sending an email from their phone.

To make this happen, all you need is Microsoft Outlook installed on the PC which you want to control from your cell phone

Now let’s begin with the tutorial.

First, you need the batch files to perform the Shutdown, Hibernate operation.

For example,

shutdown -r -t 10 -c “shutting down”

Copy this code and paste it in notepad, save it as shutdown.bat

Now open up Microsoft Outlook. I am assuming that you have already configured it for your Email and I am not going to teach you about setting mail in Microsoft Outlook. Now we will need to make it so that Outlook checks your inbox about every minute.

You can do this by going to Tools>Options. Then click on Mail Setup tab, and then, the Send/Receive button.

Make sure that the Schedule an automatic send/receive every… box is checked, and set the number of minutes to 1 or anytime you may like. Now you may close all of these dialog boxes.

Now go to Tools>Rules and Alerts. Click on E-mail Rules tab. In new window select Check messages when they arrive and click Next.

Now in next page, check on, on this machine only and with specific words in the subject.

After checking these two values, click on specific words underlined.

Search Text window will open, in the input field type the command that shuts down the PC. You can use any commands. For prevention of accidental execution I kept %shutdown% as acommand. Click on Add button after you are done and click on OK.

Now click on Next.

In the next window check mark on start application. In the lower screen, click on application link.

Now you’ll be welcomed to your familiar file open window. Load all files. And select the batch filethat you’ve created to shutdown your PC.

If everything went well you’ll see the screen similar to below:

Click on Next, again click on next (don’t choose any things in this step). And finally click on Finish button.

You’ll have %shutdown% alert shown in the E-mail Rules tab.

Now, when you send a message from your phone to your e-mail address with the Subject %shutdown% your computer will trigger shutdown.bat file and instantly executes the command in that batch file finally leading to shutdown the PC.

You can use any batch file to execute any command.

List of Command Prompt Tricks you might not Know

2012-10-06T09:04:00.001+05:30

1. Copy output of command to clipboard

There are some commands that we use to view the result and then copy their output like the ipconfig. Well, you don’t need to copy the output manually as you can use the clipcommand on this command and have the output copied to the system clipboard automatically.

Just add clip with a pipe ( | ) after the command and the command will be copied automatically to the clipboard.

2. See all the commands previously typed at the same time

When you wish to see some of the previous commands used by you then you would use the upper arrow button to surf through them but this may take some time if the command was used way back. Hence you can use the doskey command with the history option to get the list at the same time.

3. Execute multiple cmd commands one after another

If you are sure of the order in which you are going to execute some commands then you don’t need to wait for one command to finish execution and then type another. Just club them with a && operator as shown, and they will execute one after another.

4. Run cmd from a specific folder location

There are several times when we need to type the location of some folder in the command prompt. Instead of typing the location manually you can visit the folder in explorer and have the cmd run from there.

Just press Shift button and then right click on the folder, you will see a new option of opening cmd from there. Clicking this option will open the command prompt from this location.

5. Drag and drop folder to navigate to that location

Also, if you are already working in cmd and now if you need to type some folder location then instead of doing this, you can directly drag and drop the folder onto the cmd and it will take the folder address automatically.

AirDroid - Control your Android Phone Wirelessly!

2012-08-19T15:53:00.001+05:30

What is AirDroid?

AirDroid is a fast, free app that lets you wirelessly manage & control your Android devices (phone & tablet) from a web browser. It’s designed with the vision to bridge the gap between your Android device and web browser, on desktop computers or tablet devices, on Windows, Mac/iOS, or Linux.

What can I do with AirDroid?

You can use AirDroid to send/receive SMS (text messages, if supported by the device), install/uninstall apps, transfer files between Android device and computer/tablet, and manage contacts, photos, music, videos, and ringtones, etc., all in a web browser. Install AirDroid on your Android device and open your favorite web browser to experience it yourself.

How to get started with AirDroid and how to log in to AirDroid web desktop?

Download and install AirDroid app on your Android devices, start the app and open your favorite web browser, input the address and Dynamic Passcode to log in to AirDroid Web Desktop.
Detailed steps:
Before start, please make sure the Android device and computer are connected to the same network.
1. Open http://web.airdroid.com with your favorite web browser on computer.
2. Press the camera button in AirDroid on your Android device and point your Android device at the QR code displayed at http://web.airdroid.com.
3. Once the QR code is successfully scanned you’ll log in instantly.

You can also log in AirDroid via the IP address (“http://192.168.xx.xx:8888) and passcode if you prefer.

Let’s have a look.

Before getting started, let me show you how it works. The device owner needs to download and install AirDroid in his device. AirDroid marks a local IP address and a random password out. Then the end-used would have to run an Internet Browser from his Desktop/Laptop, enter the IP address and password and then all set. AirDroid will give you complete access to the device over a Wi-Fi network connection. Very easy and simple process to follow. Now let’s look it practically. AirDroid is one of those things whose are really enjoyable to use. AirDroid can be used for several different remote access solutions. It doesn’t needs long time to understand neither it’s difficult to configure. Although if you’re an average Computer user and/or have had an opportunity to deal with a data transfer/synchronization software for your mobile device, you shouldn’t have any problem in having control of AirDroid. Luckily, there’s no desktop client tasks within the entire method either. As mentioned earlier, you’ll be able to access all options from inside an internet browser Once you launch the app for the first time on your device, the homescreen will display the IP address, network port and a randomly generated password that you have to use in your internet browser to make the Wi-Fi connection. On your device, you’ll be able to read all the app’s supported options. There’s 6 of them (Device, Apps, Files, Tasks, Settings and About) and they are docked nicely on the bottom part. Swipe the dock to get. From the mobile-end, you’ll also be able to specify a custom password, check whether you want to enable the app’s service on boot and keep the Wi-Fi awake or not for as long as you’re logged into a session. Now let’s check some screenshot from the browser-end.

Bypass Firewall Using SSH Putty Tunneling

2012-08-19T15:25:00.001+05:30

In this tutorial I am explaining all about SSH (secure shell ) and explain How to make a SSH tunnel & how youc an use it for casual firewall bypassing & anonymous browsing on protected networks of offices & schools.

What is SSH ? And what is it used for ?

Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices
All the data sent between them are encrypted not like Telnet where all data are sent in plain text . Default port used for SSH
is 22 . Since all data are encrypted it used for secure connections between a server and client and It is Used for Secure File Transfer .

What is SSH tunneling?

A Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel consists of an encrypted tunnel created through a SSH protocol connection. Users may set up SSH tunnels to transfer unencrypted traffic over a network through an encrypted channel. For example, Windows machines can share files using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, a non-encrypted protocol. If one were to mount a Microsoft Windows file-system remotely through the Internet, someone snooping on the connection could see transferred files. To mount the Windows file-system securely, one can establish an SSH tunnel that routes all SMB traffic to the remote fileserver through an encrypted channel. Even though the SMB protocol itself contains no encryption, the encrypted SSH channel through which it travels offers security

What is the use of SSH tunneling ?

SSH tunneling can be used for different purposes . I use SSH tunneling in cafes for secure browsing , I use it in college to Bypass firewalls to view restricted websites and even use it for anonymous browsing

How do I create an SSH tunnel & Hack With it ?

Follow this step by step guide on How To Set Up SSH Tunnel For Bypassing the Firewalls & anonymous browsing.

Things you’ll need for performing SSH Tunneling:
1. First thing you need is to find a SSH server for SSH access there are lots of free SSH providers try
googling them or you can create your own SSH server using openSSH

2. Putty witch is an open source SSH client .You can download putty from Here

Setting up our SSH Tunnel

1. After downloading putty open it .Now enter the Host name or the Ip address of the SSH server as
shown

2. Now check the SSH radio button and enter port no as 22

3. Now open Tunnels in SSH options and enter the source port as 8888 (you can use any port) Now
check dynamic radio button

4. Now click open and login with your SSH account details

5. Now we have to configure our web browser to use the SSH connection in my case its FireFox

6. Open Firefox go to Tools ——- > options ——- > advanced now click network tab and click
settings
7. Now check manual proxy and enter local host as the Socks host and enter the port no as 8888 and finally click apply that’s it we have created our SSH tunnel

8. To check your SSH tunnel you can go to whatismyip.com . Now you can see the ip address of the
SSH server .You can also use wireshark or any other network protocol analyzer to see all the traffic
is encrypted as shown

Hack Servers Using Host Booting (Booters, Bots, Botnets and DoS, DDoS)

2012-07-22T14:03:00.000+05:30

In this post I want to show you whats host booting and who can you boot the site (ddos&dos) or any server.

Note:All of these programs are detected as viruses. I promise you they aren’t, and won’t cause any harm to your computer as long as they’re used correctly.

Host Booting Tutorial

What is Host Booting?

Host Booting is a form of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service). You build a botnet, which are zombies/bots (infected computers), and you attack a specified IP with a shit load of packets. The person’s modem or router becomes overwhelmed with information and slows down, possibly stops working depending on the size of your attack. Host booters are usually used for cheating in video games, but many have a TCP or SYN flood options for attacking websites.

What is a DDOS?

DDoS: Yes, There IS a difference- a DDoS Attack (or Distributed Denial of Service Attack) is pretty much the same as a DoS- but the difference in results is massive; as its name suggests the DDoS attack is executed using a distributed computing method often referred to as a ‘botnet army’, the creation process of which involves infecting computers with a form of malware that gives the botnet owner access to the computer somewhat- this cold be anything from simply using the computers connection to flood to total control of the computer – these attacks affect the victims computer -> server more than a regular DoS- because multiple connections are being used against ONE connection, Think of it like a fight, if there is a 1-on-1 fight; the chance of the good guy winning is far higher than if he was being beaten up by severalthousand tough-guys

What is a Botnet?

A bot (robot) is a machine infected by a virus or malicious code that is controlled by an unauthorized user via the Internet. Although you’re moving on the computer, there is another person(who may be anywhere in the world) that can also control it. The bots are also known as “zombie” computers.

As bots are created from viruses, various machines generally tend to be infected at the same time. Hence, one person can control a whole network of zombie computers. In this network we call the Botnet.

The Botnets can host hundreds or even thousands of machines. They are often used to attack sites and services, stealing data, host fake websites and send unwanted e-mail. Most bots spreads using flaws in the operating system, installed programs, through file sharing networks – such as BearShare and Frostwire – and little known download sites. So if you often download music and movies on the Internet, be careful.

Creating Your ServerFor MeTuS Delphi 2.8 and Darth DDoSer

Sign up HERE and make a redirect host to your IP address.
Open up MeTuS Delphi and go to the “Server Builder” tab. Put your no-ip redirect host that you created in the “Host” text box. Choose the port and stuff you want to use for connections. Edit all other settings to your liking, then click the “Build” button. The server you just created will be in the same folder that the client is located.
Go to the “Options” tab in the client and put the port that you used to create your server in the “Auto-Listen Port” textbox and then click “Save Settings”
Now all you need to do is spread the server.exe. I would recommend crypting it first because it’s highly detected.

For MeTuS GB Edition

Click “File” at the top and and then click “Build Server”
Sign up at no-ip.com and make a redirect host to your IP.
Type your no-ip host you created in the “Redirect Host” text box and then click “Create Server”
Select where to save your bot and click save.

For XR

Help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na3boKQ9A0I

You will need Hex Workshop in order to make the bot connect to you. You can download v5 HERE. You can register it using this serial: 0749100408-037553-1EB4
Right click on the bot file and click “Hex Edit with Hex Workshop”
Press CTRL + F to open the Find box.
For “Type:” scroll down to “Text String”. Once you’ve done that click on “Either” on the options. Now for the “Value” type in “LOL” and click OK.
Now you’ll see “LOL.no-ip.info”, so now you will have to go to HERE <– Click and register. Be sure to use a REAL email address because you will need to verify it.
Now login to and click “Add a Host” make your no-ip hostname 3 characters. Example = AW1.no-ip.info
Go back to your Hex Workshop and edit the “LOL” to the no-ip you chose. DON’T OVERWRITE THE DOTS (.) IN BETWEEN THE “LOL”
Go to File > Save.

For BioZombie

Now login to and click “Add a Host” make your no-ip hostname 7 charactors. Example :: ABCD123.no-ip.info
Go back to your Hex Workshop and edit the “EDITT22″ to the no-ip you chose.
Go to File > Save.

Spreading Your Bot

Spreading is the hardest part of the process, finding where all the stupid people download from.
One method of spreading is torrents. Find out how to make torrents Click Here.
Another method is YouTube videos. You make a video of something that someone wants, upload your binded/crypted bot to a downloading site like RapidShare or MegaUpload and say its what they want.
You can also spread on forums. I won’t explain it all, just say it’s something that the members would want and post it for download. I wouldn’t recommend spreading on hacking-related websites, they aren’t as stupid.

Binders and Crypters

Binder and crypters are used to make your bot server less detectable by Anti-viruses. There are many out there, but public ones get detected fast. You can buy a private crypter that makes your server FUD (Fully Undetecable), I recommend iCrypt (http://www.iCrypt.info). As for public ones, there are many on these forums, just use the search box.

Port Forwarding

You need to open ports to accept the incoming connections from the infected zombies, and also to send outgoing commands to them. For help on opening ports please go to http://portforward.com/ The ports that the above host booters run on are listed directly below the title of them.

Facebook ‘changes’ ‘users’ Email Address

2012-07-01T16:27:00.000+05:30

On 26 June 2012 an Email Came From Facebook Spokeswoman Jillian Stefanki followed by this message FACEBOOK has changed your Email Address. At least , that's how many felt after a quiet but vast change in the way the company displays users' contact information.

Facebook replaced the email address users chose when they signed up and changed it to a facebook.com address. The Facebook E-Mail Accounts allow users to communicate with outside email addresses via Facebook.

The changes were first pointed out by bloggers over the weekend and publicized by media outlets Monday (2 July , 2012), leading to gripes from users, usually on their Facebook pages.

The company said by statement in April that it was "updating addresses on Facebook to make them consistent across our site."

Facebook spokeswoman Jillian Stefanki said the site is also rolling out a setting that allows people to decide which email addresses to show on their pages.

"Ever since the launch of Timeline, people should have the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their timelines, and today we're extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address".

Facebook Hacking or Use as E-Mail Hacking

2012-07-01T15:55:00.000+05:30

In this tutorial I will demonstrate how to hack Facebook using MITM (Man in the Middle).

This attack usually happen inside a Local Area Network (LAN) in office, internet cafe, apartments, flats, Coffee shops etc.
Below is the topology or infrastructure how MITM works, and how it can be used to hack a Facebook account.

Basic Requirements

XAMPP – APACHE+PHP+MySQL (We use XAMPP for our fake facebook web server)
Cain & Abel (We use it for Man in the Middle Attack)
Facebook Phishing Page
Windows OS: Windows XP-Windows 7

STEPS

Okay, let’s start the step-by-step how to do this:

Attacker IP Address : 192.168.1.4
Victim IP Address : 192.168.1.3
Fake Web Server : 192.168.1.4

I assume you’re in a Local Area Network (Wireless) no

Install the XAMPP and run the APACHE and MySQL service
Extract the fb.rar and copy the contents inside fb folder to C:\xampp\htdocs
Check the fake web server by opening it in a web browser and type http://localhost/
Install Cain & Abel and do the APR(ARP Poisoning Routing), just see the step by step how to below
1. Open Cain n Abel. Click the start/stop sniffer button
2. Choose your interface for sniffing and click OK. When it’s finish, click again the Start/Stop Sniffer to activate the sniffing interface.
3. Go to the Sniffer tab and then click the + (plus sign).
4. Select “All hosts in my subnet” and Click OK.
5. After we got all of the information, click at the bottom of application the APR tab.
6. Click the + button, and follow the instruction below.
7. When you finish, now the next step is preparing to redirect the www.facebook.com page to the fake web server.
8. Click “APR DNS” and click + to add the new redirecting rule.
9. Add the redirection rule as shown below:
10. Then the next step is to activate the APR by clicking the Start/Stop APR button.
Setting the “hosts” file
1. Run “Notepad” in Administrator Mode
2. Click File-> Open… to bring up the Open File Dialog box
3. Navigate to “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc”
  - Choose “All Files” from file type dropdown
  - Open “hosts” file having it’s Type as “File”
4. Type “127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com” on the last line Save file and Exit Notepad
Now Hacking Facebook using MITM has been activated. This is how it looks like when victim opens http://www.facebook.com
But if you ping the domain name, you can reveal that it’s fake, because the address is IP of the attacker.
