Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on what a Dark web, Deep web, and how you can access it for educational purpose only.

NOTE: This post is intended as a guide to what and how to access the Dark Web, this is not an endorsement or encouragement for you to start behaving in illegal or immoral behavior. PhenixCrib is not responsible for any illegal act you commit after reading through this post, thanks.

So let get to the juicy part,,,,

What is the Dark Web?

The Dark Web is a term that refers specifically to a collection of websites that exist on an encrypted network and cannot be found by using traditional search engines or visited by using traditional browsers.

Almost all sites on the so-called Dark Web hide their identity using the Tor encryption tool. You may know Tor for its ability to hide your identity and activity. You can use Tor to spoof your location so it appears you're in a different country to where you're really located, making it much like using a VPN service. When a website is run through Tor it has much the same effect.

Indeed, it multiplies the effect. To visit a site on the Dark Web that is using Tor encryption, the web user needs to be using Tor. Just as the end user's IP address is bounced through several layers of encryption to appear to be at another IP address on the Tor network, so is that of the website.

There are several layers of magnitude more secrecy than the already secret act of using Tor to visit a website on the open internet - for both parties. Sites on the Dark Web can be visited by anyone, but it is very difficult to work out who is behind the sites. And it can be dangerous if you slip up and your identity is discovered. Talking of identity, you can find out what Google knows about you and also delete your Google location history.

Not all Dark Web sites use Tor. Some use similar services such as I2P, such as the Silk Road Reloaded. But the principle remains the same. The visitor has to use the same encryption tool as the site and - crucially - know where to find the site, in order to type in the URL and visit.

Examples of Dark Web sites include the Silk Road and its offspring. The Silk Road was (and maybe still is) a website for the buying and selling of recreational drugs. But there are legitimate uses for the Dark Web. People operating within closed, totalitarian societies can use the Dark Web to communicate with the outside world. And given recent revelations about US- and UK government snooping on web use, you may feel it is sensible to take your communication on to the Dark Web.

The Dark Web hit the headlines in August 2015 after it was been reported that 10GB of data stolen from Ashley Madison, a site designed to enable bored spouses to cheat on their partners, was dumped on to the Dark Web. Hackers stole the data and threatened to upload it to the web if the site did not close down, and it has now acted on that threat. Now the spouses of Ashley Madison users have begun to receive blackmail letters demanding they pay $2500 in Bitcoin or have the infidelity exposed.

In March 2015 the UK government launched a dedicated cybercrime unit to tackle the Dark Web, with a particular focus on cracking down on serious crime rings and child pornography. The National Crime Agency (NCA) and UK intelligence outfit GCHQ are together creating the Joint Operations Cell (JOC).

So now, what is the Deep Web?

Although all of these terms tend to be used interchangeably, they don't refer to exactly the same thing. The 'Deep Web' refers to all web pages that search engines cannot find. Thus the 'Deep Web' includes the 'Dark Web', but also includes all user databases, webmail pages, registration-required web forums, and pages behind paywalls.

We have a 'staging' version of all of our websites that is blocked from being indexed by search engines, so we can check stories before we set them live. Thus for every page publicly available on this website (and there are literally millions), there is another on the Deep Web.

Use an online bank account? The password-protected bits are on the Deep Web. And when you consider how many pages just one Gmail account will create, you understand the sheer size of the Deep Web.

This scale is why newspapers and mainstream news outlets regularly trot out scare stories about '90 percent of the internet' consisting of the Dark Web. They are confusing the generally dodgy Dark Web with the much bigger and generally more benign Deep Web.

Mixing up the act of deliberately hiding things, with that of necessarily keeping pages away from search engines for reasons of security or user experience.

What is the Dark Internet?

Confusingly, 'Dark Internet' is also a term sometimes used to describe further examples of networks, databases or even websites that cannot be reached over the internet. In this case either for technical reasons, or because the properties contain niche information that few people will want, or in some cases because the data is private.

A basic rule of thumb is that the phrases 'Dark Web' or 'Deep Web' are typically used by tabloid newspapers to refer to dangerous secret online worlds, the 'Dark Internet' is a boring place where scientists store raw data for research.

The Deep Web is a catch-all term for all web pages that are not indexed for search, the others refer to specific things.

How to access the Dark Web

Technically, this is not a difficult process. You simply need to install and use Tor. Go to www.torproject.org and download the Tor Browser Bundle, which contains all the required tools. Run the downloaded file, choose an extraction location, then open the folder and click Start Tor Browser. That's it.

The Vidalia Control Panel will automatically handle the randomized network setup and, when Tor is ready, the browser will open; just close it again to disconnect from the network.

Depending on what you intend to do on the Dark Web, some users recommend placing tape over your laptop's webcam to prevent prying eyes watching you. A tinfoil hat is also an option. The difficult thing is knowing where to look on the Dark Web. There, reader, we leave you to your own devices and wish you good luck and safe surfing. And a warning before you go any further. Once you get into the Dark Web, you *will* be able to access those sites to which the tabloids refer. This means that you could be a click away from sites selling drugs and guns, and - frankly - even worse things.

Aggregation sites such as Reddit offer lists of links, as do several Wikis, including http://thehiddenwiki.org/ - a list that offers access to some very bad places.

Five ways to speed up your windows 10 booting time.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 06:33:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how to fix a slow booting windows 10 system. During the cause of long term of usage PCs get choked up with too many apps. There are numerous ways to speed up your Windows 10 system, but today we are focusing on the slow booting aspect of it, and we have 5 ways to fix a slow booting Windows 10 system.

1- Fresh Updates

Most at times a dodgy driver or a bug in an update can cause a Windows10 systems to slow down, so its worth making sure Windows, drivers and programs are up to date. To check for any available Windows updates press the Windows key+I and then select Update & Security.

In here you will see an option to either check for updates or install ones that are available. Do this, reboot your machine, and see if there are any improvements. For drivers, it can be worth installing a driver updater program which will help you identify all drivers that needs to be updated and download them for you, most of this software are in paid version while some are free with limited operation.

Otherwise you'll have to check manually for all your hardware, from a printer, to your graphics card and other hardware attached to your PC. To get a driver updater just search for Windows10 driver updater and choose any one you deem fit.

2- Stop programs loading at startup

When you install new programs, many will want to launch automatically when you start up your PC. This can be a good thing, especially for the likes of Google Drive, anti-virus packages, OneDrive, graphics packages etc. The problem is that as more apps join this list, the time it takes your system to boot becomes more long and annoying, multiply this by a year or two and your PC can take ages to be usable when you turn it on.

Fixing this issue can be done in-house and it relatively easy, because Windows 10 provides controls over which apps are allowed to run at launch. To access these settings hold down CTRL+ALT+DEL and then select Task Manager from the menu that appears.

>>>>> If this is the first time you using this program you will need to click the ' More details' option at the bottom of the window. Now you should see a list of all the programs running on your system.

>>>>>>> Select the Start-up tab and youll now be able to disable any apps that you think could do without when you first turn on your PC.

NOTE: You're not removing the programs from your PC. You can still use them, but they won't automatically start up. And it's probably only worth disabling those that have a High or Medium impact. Also if you disable something and a crucial feature or function stops working, simply re-enable the app in the Task Manager. TIP: You can usually disable 'updater' or 'helper' programs.

3- Installing a SSDM

You can also take into consideration your hardware components, cause over time most hardware also need a quick upgrade to make the system function properly as it grows. So swapping your old hard drive for a new superfast SSD is an easy and quick upgrade that often increases the speed of your older system making it look like new.

4 - Reset Windows

Well it is worth reinstalling Windows every 18-24 months, as this should keep your system in a lively state, and before this you must ensure that you have backed up your data to a safe location either on an external hardware or any storage location of your choice. So with all your data safely kept away you can now begin.

Press Windows key+I, select Update & Security, then choose Recovery from the list in the left hand column.

>>>>>> At the top of the page you will see the option to Reset this PC.

>>>>>Click Get started and you will then see a blue box appear with two choices Keep my files and Remove everything.

>>>>>>> Choose the former if you want your data left in place, or the latter for a completely fresh version of Windows 10. Your PC will now reinstall Windows and leave you with a much faster boot time when it is finished.

5 - Check for malware and viruses

Another way is to run a full scan on your system to see if any nasty agents are lurking in your system code. Malware is a regular cause of performance drops in Windows, so you should regularly give your PC a health check. Either use the antivirus software that's installed on your PC already, or if you're using Windows Defender then press Windows key+I, select Update & Security, then click on the Windows Defender section on the left column.

In the Windows that appears you will see the top option is

>>>>> Open Windows Defender.

>>>>>Click this then choose Full in the Scan options section and click Scan now.

The process takes a good while, so its best to begin a scan before you go to bed and let it run overnight. If you use another security package like an external anti-virus that is not windows Defender then youll need to launch it and look for similar options, just make sure you perform a full scan or deep scan.

How to install Apache Cordova tools in Visual studio for hybrid application development.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 05:31:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how to install Apache Cordova tools for hybrid application development on visual studio, so as to build apps that run on iOS, Android, and Windows devices. If you've installed Visual Studio already, you can always add the feature later. You'll need a computer that runs Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or Windows Server 2012 R2. You can use Windows 7 if you want, but if you do, you won't be able to target Windows or Windows Phone devices.

# If you are just installing visual studio newly follow the following steps to install Apache Cordova tools along with Visual studio: 1. In the Visual Studio installer, choose the Custom option, and then select the HTML/JavaScript (Apache Cordova) feature.

>>> Visual Studio installs all of the third-party components that you need to build your hybrid app.

# If you've already installed Visual Studio, follow the following steps to install Apache Cordova tools in visual studio:

1. Open Control Panel -> Programs and Features, choose the Visual Studio 2015 item, and then choose the Change button.

2. In the setup wizard for Visual Studio, choose the >> Modify button.

3. In the list of optional features to install, select the HTML/JavaScript (Apache Cordova) checkbox, choose the Next button, and then choose the Update button.

> >> Visual Studio installs all of the third-party components that you need to build your hybrid app for any platform.

The third-party components that Visual Studio installs for you

Visual Studio installs these third-party components. You'll need them to use Apache Cordova, and to target the Android platform.

Component AND Why Visual Studio installs it

Apache Ant 1.8.0 (or later) >>>>>>> To build Android apps.

32-bit Oracle Java JDK 7 >>>>>>>>>>> To build Android apps.

Android SDK >>>>>>>>>> To build Android apps and to start the Apache Ripple simulator.

Joyent Node.js >>>>>>>>>>>> To integrate with the Apache Cordova Command Line Interface (CLI) and the Apache Ripple simulator.

Git CLI >>>>>>>>>>>> To enable you to manually add Git URIs for specific Cordova plug-ins.

## After all the installation has been completed, now launch your visual studio and follow the steps below to update your Apache Cordova:

1. In Visual Studio, choose Tools-> Extensions and Updates.

2. In the Updates tab of the Extensions and Updates dialog box, choose Product Updates. If an update for Visual Studio Tools for Apache appears, select it, and then choose the Update button.

In our next post am going to be writing on how to create your first cross platform application using Apache Cordova which we have installed on visual studio.

Shifting from the backend to the frontend in web apps development.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Sun, 9 Apr 2017 12:33:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how there has been a trend towards shifting of web applications from the backend to the frontend. The backend mostly are now being developed using a simple API, or more APIs depending on the project. This makes the choice of a frontend framework much more important than that of the backend. Now here are the lists of languages and platforms that were updated in 2016 and has widely advanced:

Languages and Platforms

PHP 7 is a major new version that fixes a number of issues and brings new features and speed. PHP 7 is around twice as fast as PHP 5.6, which will have a big impact on large codebases and CMS systems like WordPress and Drupal. And if you need even more speed and dont mind switching to an alternative runtime, check out HHVM (Hiphop Virtual Machine), which Facebook uses and develops to run their website.

Python 3.5 was released 2016 with a lot of new features like Asyncio, which gives you a node.js-like event loop, and type hints. As a whole Python 3 is finally gaining popularity and we heavily recommend it over the older Python 2. Nearly all libraries are available for Python 3 and now is a good time to upgrade your legacy code base.

Swift 2 was released in 2016 and still upgrading. This is Apples vision for a modern programming language that eases the development of apps on iOS and OS X. As of a few weeks ago, Swift is open source and has already been ported on Linux. This means that it is now possible to build backend and server side software with it.

Go 1.5 was released a few months ago, and brought major architectural changes. In 2015 it has grown in popularity and has been adopted in leading startups and open source projects. The language itself is relatively simple, so learning it will be a weekend well spent.

JavaScript also saw updates in the form of the ES2015 standard (used to be known as ES6). It brings us exciting new features and additions to the language. Thanks to most browsers adopting quick release schedules, support for ES2015 is great, and there is Babel.js which will help you bring your code to older browsers.

Typescript is a staticly typed language which compiles to JavaScript. It is developed by Microsoft and has perfect integration with Visual Studio and the open source Visual Studio Code editors. It will soon be quite popular, as the upcoming Angular 2 is written in it. Static typing benefits large teams and large code bases the most, so if one of these applies to you, or you are just curious, you should give Typescript a try.

Node.js saw a lot of changes in 2016 and 2017, with the community splitting between Node.js and io.js, and then joining forces again. As a result we now have an actively maintained project with lots of contributors and two versions of Node a solid LTS (long term support) release, which gives stability for long lived projects and large companies, and a non-lts version which is quick to add new JavaScript features.

You can also try out functional languages like Haskell, Elixir, and Rust etc. If you are looking for a application development job either hybrid applications development or using normal application development languages, you can try out: Java, AngularJs, C#, and also Iconic UI(framework) etc.

Now we go to JavaScript frameworks we can be useful in web application development:

JavaScript Frameworks

JavaScript is a very important piece of the web development architecture, there were two new standards this year Service Workers and Web Assembly, which shape how web apps are developed from now on. There were also a number of new framework releases in 2016 and 2017:

Angular.js has become the go-to JavaScript framework for enterprises and large companies. It has been known for some time that the next major version of the framework was coming, and earlier this year Angular 2 was released as a development preview. It is a total rewrite of Angular 1 and according to us is a great improvement over it. It is almost guaranteed to become the enterprise framework of choice once it is released, and Angular 2 experience will be a great addition to your CV.

React continued its ascend throughout 2015 and has seen new releases throughout the year and new projects adopting it as their library of choice. It shipped new development tools a few months ago. Facebook also released React Native which is a framework for building mobile apps for Android and iOS, which combines a native frontend with React running in a background JavaScript thread.

Polymer 1.0 was released in May 2016. This marks the first stable and production ready version. Polymer is based around Web Components, which is a standard for packaging HTML, JS and CSS into isolated widgets that can be imported into your web apps. Web Components are only supported in Chrome and Opera at the moment, but Polymer makes them available everywhere.

Ember.js also saw a new release. Ember 2 brings modularity and removes deprecated features and optimizes the codebase. Ember follows semantic versioning and maintainers of the framework are careful to make updating as easy as possible. If you need a framework with stability and easy migration to new versions, you can give Ember a try.

Vue.js is a new library that offers reactive components for building user interfaces. It supports data binding, modular components and composition. It is similar to React, but doesnt use a virtual DOM and works only in the browser. In the short time that it has existed, Vue has gathered a very active community around it and is establishing itself as a pragmatic tool for building web interfaces.

Frontend

Bootstrap has become even more popular in the last year and is turning into a web development standard. Version 4 will come out in the next few months, which brings flexbox support and integrates out SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets). It promises a smooth transition from V3 (unlike what we saw with v2 to v3 a couple of years ago), so you can feel confident that what you learn about Bootstrap 3 will be applicable to version 4.

CSS preprocessors continue improving. Less and SASS are the two most popular at the moment, with mostly comparable feature sets. However, the news that Bootstrap 4 is migrating over to SASS gives it a slight edge over Less as the preprocessor to learn in 2017.

MDL (Material Design Lite) is an official framework by Google for building material design web apps. It was released earlier this year and has a similar goal to Googles other framework Polymer, but is much easier to get started with.

Foundation is another frontend framework that is an alternative to Bootstrap. Version 6 was released earlier this year, which focuses on modularity so that you can include only the pieces that you need for a faster load time.

Android OS has beaten the windows OS as the most widely used OS (march 2017).

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Fri, 7 Apr 2017 01:26:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how the Android OS has beaten the windows OS as the most widely used OS in the world, after years of total domination it seems Microsofts run as the most used OS has finally come to an end, new data has revealed that Windows OS has now been overtaken by the Android OS.

Googles popular operating system has gone from strength to strength over recent years and is now the most used OS on the planet. StatCounter, which monitors usage across the world has confirmed that Android took 37.93% of all internet usage across desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile during the month of March 2017. Windows devices took 37.91%, meaning it was knocked off top spot for the first time since the 1980s.

Five years ago, the idea of Android almost matching Windows was unthinkable said Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter. This is a milestone in technology history and the end of an era, one thing that has driven usage of Android smartphones is the incredible growth in huge markets such as China and India.

Also, both Microsoft and Google are currently working on new versions of their globally dominant operating systems. While Microsoft is finalizing, Project Neon, a new-look Windows 10 offering, Google is getting ready to unveil Android 8.0 at its annual Google I/O gathering in May.

Microsoft is reportedly grooming a number of stylistic changes and improvements, including enhanced animations to Project Neon, with the systems 3D functions and HoloLens abilities, while Android O will add a range of cosmetic and feature updates, with the ability to use drawable gestures mooted to make an appearance. Till then we keep our fingers crossed and see you outwits who, drop your guesses and predictions through the comment box below.

Top 5 Frameworks For Building Hybrid Mobile Apps.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Wed, 5 Apr 2017 06:35:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on the top 5 frameworks for hybrid application development. A hybrid app is just a regular mobile optimized website, written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, that is displayed in a web view. The advantage is that you only need to write a single application, which in most cases runs unmodified on Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Most of the frameworks we will be talking about works by the help of either Apache Cordova or PhoneGap, which give you a bridge to the device APIs in JavaScript.

1. Ionic

Ionic is the most widely used framework today and probably the first choice of many developers. You can use the CSS portion of the framework to create native looking designs, but to harness the full potential of Ionic, its best to pair it with AngularJS. Ionic has a command-line interface(CLI) which is full of awesome features including integrated emulators and a Cordova based app packager.

Pros:
>> Works with predefined components
>> Great community because it is widely used
>> Command Line Interface with lots of useful features

Cons:
>> You need to know AngularJS to do anything complex

2. Onsen UI

This is an open source framework that allows developers to build apps by combining native-looking components. Here, you can work with or without AngularJS, and has great documentation that includes lots of examples and layouts for the most common app structures. An important disadvantage of Onsen UI is that it currently offers only an iOS theme, although the next version promises Material Design support.

Pros:
>> Works with predefined components
>> Excellent documentation with examples

Cons:
>> PhoneGap/Cordova builder not included, but supported
>> No support for Material Design (yet)

3. Framework 7

Framework 7 is a completely framework agnostic (doesnt have external dependencies like Angular or React) but still manages to make apps look and feel native, with properly styled components and animations. Anyone who understands HTML, CSS and JavaScript can create an app without making the code complex or complicated. Framework 7 doesnt include any tools for emulation or app packaging so you will need to combine it with Cordova or PhoneGap.

Pros:
>>Good performance
>>Simple to use, relies only on HTML, CSS and JavaScript
>>Can be combined with any JavaScript framework of choice

Cons:
>> PhoneGap/Cordova builder not included, but supported

4. React Native

React Natives purpose is to build proper native apps, instead of creating hybrid ones that run in a Web view. Development, however, is still done completely via JavaScript and React. This frameworks isnt suitable for beginners in web development, but on the other side, the framework has a huge community behind it that will help you in every part of the way. Recently the framework rolled support for Android, so you can have real cross-platform apps.

Pros:
>> Native-like performance
>> Huge community
Cons:
>> Complex for beginners

5. jQuery Mobile

The oldest of all mobile frameworks, jQuery Mobile doesnt try to make apps that look like Android or iOS. Instead, its purpose is to help develop web apps that will work equally well on all mobile browsers. As such, it is very lightweight, depends only on jQuery and is quite easy to learn, while still offering good touch recognition and PhoneGap/Cordova support.

Pros:

>> Support for wide range of mobile browsers
>> Simple to use

Cons:

>> Dated styles that dont resemble either iOS or Android
>> PhoneGap/Cordova builder not included, but supported.

Ten(10) ways to speed up your virtual machines and increase it performance.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Sat, 1 Apr 2017 10:18:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how to speed you’re your Virtual machines, virtual machines are demanding powerful programs, providing virtual hardware and running multiple operating systems on your computer at once. Upgrading your hardware (particularly your RAM and CPU) will always help speed up virtual machines, but there are more ways in which you could speed up your virtual machine.

These tips will help increase or maximize the performance of your virtual machine, whether you’re using VirtualBox, VMware, Parallels, or any other virtual machine software.

Create Fixed-Size Disks

Firstly, when creating your virtual machine, you can create two different types of virtual disks (fixed size disk and dynamically allocated disks). By default, virtual machine programs will generally use dynamically allocated disks that grow as you use them. For example, if you create a new virtual machine with a dynamically allocated disk with a maximum size of 30 GB, it won’t take up 30 GB of space on your hard disk immediately – after installing your operating system and programs, it may only take up 10 GB. As you add more files to the virtual disk, it will expand up to its maximum size of 30 GB. Each virtual machine won’t take up an unnecessarily large amount of space on your hard drive.

However, it’s slower than creating a fixed-size disk (also known as a preallocated disk). When you create a fixed-size disk, all 30 GB of that space would be allocated immediately. Fixed-size disk uses more space on your hard disk, but adding new files to the virtual machine’s hard disk is faster. You also won’t see as much file fragmentation – the space will be assigned in a large block instead of being added in smaller pieces.

Allocate More CPUs.

If you have a computer with multiple CPUs, you may want to allocate additional CPUs to your virtual machine from its settings window. A virtual machine with a dual (or quad) core processor will be more responsive, just as a computer with more cores is.

Running a disk defragmentation program inside your virtual machine.

You can improve performance by defragmenting your virtual machine’s disk files, just like you can defragment other files on your computer – fragmentation could be particularly bad if you use a dynamically expanding disk. VMware has an integrated tool for this, while you’ll have to use another defragmentation utility if you’re using VirtualBox. After defragmenting a dynamic disk, you may also want to compact it – the compact operation shrinks a dynamic disk, making it take up less space on your hard disk. Because the file size is smaller, the virtual disk may load faster. VMware has a “Compact” option in its interface, while VirtualBox users will have to use the –compact operation on the command line .

Tweak Your Video Settings.

Tweaking video settings and allocating a larger amount of video memory can also improve your virtual machine’s apparent speed. For example, enabling the 2D acceleration feature in VirtualBox improves video playback in virtual machines, while enabling 3D acceleration will allow you to use some 3D applications at a more reasonable speed.

Allocate More Memory.

Virtual machines are memory hungry. Microsoft recommends 2 GB of RAM for 64-bit Windows 7 systems, and this recommendation also applies to Windows 7 when it’s running in a virtual machine. If you’re running memory-hungry applications in the virtual machine, you may even want to allocate more than 2 GB of RAM. You can allocate more RAM in your virtual machine’s settings dialog (the virtual machine must be powered off to do this). If your computer doesn’t have enough RAM to comfortably run both the virtual machine and everything else on your computer, you’ll see degraded performance as your computer constantly uses the swap file on its hard drive.

Ensure Intel VT-x or AMD-V Is Enabled.

Intel VT-x and AMD-V are special processor extensions that improve virtualization. Newer Intel and AMD processors generally include these features. However, some computers don’t automatically enable VT-x or AMD-V – you may have to go into your computer’s BIOS and enable this setting yourself, even if your computer supports it. To determine whether your Intel CPU supports Intel VT, you can use Intel’s Processor Identification Utility. If your CPU supports this feature but the option is unavailable in your virtual machine program, you’ll need to enter your computer’s BIOS and enable this feature. This setting is generally enabled by default with AMD processors.

Place The Virtual Machine’s Files On Another Drive.

Disk performance can limit your virtual machine’s speed. Placing the virtual machine’s files on a separate drive – not your system drive – can help improve performance. Your virtual machine and host operating system won’t be competing to read and write from the same disk. However, you shouldn’t run the virtual machine off an external drive – this will be much slower.

Improve Performance Inside the Virtual Machine.

You can improve performance inside the virtual machine in the same ways you would on a physical computer. For example, reducing the amount of background applications and programs that run at start-up will improve your guest operating system’s boot time and reduce the amount of RAM used by your virtual machine. You may also want to consider not running an antivirus inside your virtual machine — for example, if your virtual machine is isolated from the Internet, an antivirus may just be slowing things down, and of course if you use a virtual machine that is connected to the Internet, you may want to stick with an antivirus to protect your self.

Install VirtualBox Guest Additions or VMware Tools.

After installing a guest operating system inside a virtual machine, the first thing you should do is install your virtual machine software’s drive package – Guest Additions for VirtualBox and VMware Tools for VMware. These packages include special drivers that help your guest operating system run faster on your virtual machine’s hardware. Installing the package is simple – in VirtualBox, boot your guest operating system, click the Devices menu, and select Install Guest Additions. If you’re using VMware, select the Install VMware Tools option in the virtual machine’s menu instead.

Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the installation – if you’re using a Windows guest operating system, it’ll be just like installing any other application. Ensure you keep these updated with your virtual machine program – if you see a notification that an update is available for Guest Additions or VMware Tools, you should install it.

Resume Instead of Shutting Down.

When you’re done using your virtual machine, you may want to save its state instead of shutting it down completely. The next time you want to use your virtual machine, you can just double-click it to start it – the guest operating system will resume where you left off instead of booting up from scratch. This is similar to using the hibernate or suspend feature instead of shutting your computer off. Your virtual machine program saves the contents of your virtual machine’s memory to a file on your hard drive and loads that file when you next start the virtual machine.

You can use any of this tips or use them all it depends on which one is more convenient for you and operationally feasible.

How to share your computer files with a virtual machine in Oracle VM VirtualBox.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Sat, 1 Apr 2017 10:16:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how to share your System files with a virtual machine that runs the same OS of different version or an entirely different OS. Virtual machines are isolated containers, so the guest operating system in the virtual machine doesn’t have access to your computer’s file system, you’ll have to set up shared folders in VirtualBox to share files.

To help the guest operating system understand what’s going on, virtual machine programs present these shared folders as network file shares. The guest operating system accesses a folder on your PC like it would a shared folder on a network.

VirtualBox’s Shared Folders feature works with both Windows and Linux guest operating systems. To use this it, you’ll need VirtualBox’s Guest Additions installed in the guest virtual machine. Click the Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image option while a virtual machine is running and run the installer from the virtual disc to install it.

Next, click the Machine > Settings option in a virtual machine’s window and select Shared Folders. Here you can see any shared folders you’ve set up. There are two types of shared folders — Machine Folders are permanent folders that will be shared until you remove them, while Transient Folders are temporary and will be removed when the virtual machine restarts or shuts down.

Click the Add button or right-click in the list and select Add Shared Folder to add a new shared folder. The folder path is the location of the shared folder on your host operating system, while the name is how it will appear inside the guest operating system.

By default, the virtual machine has full read-write access to the shared folder. Enable the Read-only checkbox if you want the virtual machine to only be able to read files from the shared folder.

The Auto-mount checkbox makes the guest operating system attempt to automatically mount the folder when it boots. The Make Permanent checkbox makes the shared folder a Machine Folder — by default, it’s a transient folder.

You should see the shared folders appear as network file shares if you’re using a Windows guest operating system. Open Windows Explorer or File Explorer, select Network, and look under the VBOXSRV computer.

This is the simplest and easiest way to share your computer file’s with your virtual machine on Oracle VM VirtualBox.

How to install Ubuntu server (Linux OS) in a virtual machine.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 02:48:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how to install an Ubuntu server (Linux OS) on a virtual machine using Virtual Box as an example which can also be applied to other virtual machine also.

There is a version of the Ubuntu server that is optimized for usage within a virtual machine. Which can be found here and can be downloaded onto your hard drive. It can then be installed directly into your virtual machine from the hard drive, or you can also burn the .iso image onto a CD and install Ubuntu Server into the virtual machine from the CD. Both methods works the same during the Ubuntu installation process.

Virtual Box supports both 32 and 64-bit guest OSs. However, if your host OS is 32-bit you cannot run 64-bit guest OSs. In general a 32-bit Ubuntu OS is safest. *Start the virtual machine you created, if you dont know to create a virtual machine on virtual box the post below could be of great help.

Now after creating your virtual machine in oracle Virtual Box, then you can follow the following steps to install a Linux OS on your VM:

Virtualbox -> UbuntuVirtual1 (highlighted) -> Start The "First Run Wizard" will prompt for the location of the installation disk

-> Next -> CD/DVD-ROM device (ticked)

-> Media Source:
1. Select the CD-ROM drive (if you burned the Linux (.iso) image onto a physical CD),
OR
2. Browse for the folder where you stored the Linux (.iso) image onto your hard drive, if you did not burn it to a physical CD

-> Next -> * Install Ubuntu server virtual machine edition: The First Run Wizard will automatically start the LiveCD from the location you indicated, and you will see the Ubuntu Server LiveCD screen.

1. Choose language: English ->

2. Important: note this step carefully! Select the minimal virtual machine installation mode: Click the F4 (modes) key -> Install a minimal virtual machine ->

3. Install Ubuntu Server

4. Select your installation options. When asked about partitioning, use the guided partitioning method and use the entire disk. This uses the entire virtual machine disk (which is 8 GB or whatever size you created when creating the virtual machine), not the entire physical hard drive disk.

5. Task selection. A menu will appear to select options for additional packages to be installed along with the server. Make sure these packages are starred use the space button to select them and the arrow keys to go up or down the list) before completing the installation.

6. (Optional) you will be prompted to enter a MySQL root user password during the LAMP server package installation. This password becomes important later on (in some instances). Record your chosen MySQL password in a safe location. Do not use your primary user password as the MySQL password; it ought to be unique.

Then finally, finish the Ubuntu server installation process. After successful installation the Ubuntu system will automatically reboot within the virtual machine. When it restarts, you will then have a fully functional Ubuntu Server within the virtual machine. Immediately update the operating system:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade.

How to Install Oracle VM Virtualbox in Windows.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 02:34:00 -0700

Welcome my dear readers, today am going to be writing on how to install Oracle VM VirtualBox in windows (10, 10pro, 8.1, 8, 7 etc). The reason to install Virtualbox in Windows is so that any Operating system you want to use can run as a guest OS within the virtual machine simply meaning you can run two or more OS without dualbooting.

Oracle VM Virtualbox (by Sun) has some advantages and disadvantages. Virtualbox is available for all operating system platforms, and therefore a virtual machine created in one operating system (Windows, Apple, Linux) can be used in another. Furthermore, it is possible to convert virtual machines created in Virtualbox to VMWare and vice versa.

Now let start the installation process,

1. Download a copy of the Virtualbox (binary) installer for your (Windows) operating system here.

2. Install the program, following the prompts and make sure the program is fully installed, it just like installing any other program no big deal there.

3. Start Oracle VM Virtualbox Start menu -> Programs -> Sun Virtualbox -> Virtualbox (Optional: Of course, if you would like Virtualbox to start every time you run Windows, you can copy the Virtualbox shortcut into the Start menu -> Programs -> Startup folder.)

Now how to create a virtual machine,

1. Create a new virtual machine: Virtualbox -> New -> Next -> Name: UbuntuVirtual1 (name of our virtual machine)
Operating System: Linux
Version: Ubuntu ->

Next -> Memory: Base memory size: 1024 Mb

Note: Use the amount of RAM for the virtual machine that you can afford. Linux requires less memory to run than does Windows, but the amount of RAM that you dedicate to the virtual machine in this step will not be available to the Windows host. On my laptop, I have 8 Gb RAM, so I dedicate 2048 Mb (2 Gb) to the virtual machine in this step and leave 6 Gb for Windows. You should always leave at least 1 Gb RAM for Windows (or it will run painfully slowly). Linux is able to run with only 512 Mb in server mode or 1 Gb in desktop mode (perhaps even less).

-> Next -> Virtual Hard Disk -> Boot Hard Disk (Primary Master): (ticked) Create new hard disk: (ticked)

-> Next -> Next -> Hard disk storage type: Dynamically expanding storage: (ticked)

-> Next -> Virtual Disk Location and Size: Location: UbuntuVirtual1

Size: 8.00 GB

Note: Use whatever size you can afford in Windows. This will take space from your hard drive (so make sure it is available to begin with). A Linux server can easily run in 8 GB, but if you plan to run a GUI desktop in addition (the Ubuntu desktop or Kubuntu desktop, for example), you should consider making this between 10 -20 GB. However, because you have chosen the dynamically expanding storage in the preceding step, the virtual machine will automatically expand storage later if you guess wrong here.

-> And that all. Now you will have a new virtual machine. You can create multiple virtual machines, in this way. If you desire, you can run each new virtual machine simultaneously (if you have enough RAM and hard drive resources).

ACER reveal their new Swift 7 which is now officially the thinnest laptop ever.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:14:00 -0700

Acer has just unveiled its new Swift 7 computer at the IFA tech show in Berlin and it's just 9.98mm thin.

That's a whole 0.3cm thinner than Apple's awesome MacBook. However, don't be fooled into thinking slim means poor perfomance as this device packs quite a punch.

When it launches later this year users will be treated to a 13.3in and brand new Intel 7th generation core i5 'Kaby Lake' processor. Tucked inside the metal body you'll also find 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage, meaning the Swift 7 is no slouch when it comes to speed, and there's also are two USB-C 3.1 ports, including one used for charging, and a headphone port.

As mentioned, the Acer Swift 7 comes with a 13.3in Full HD IPS display, putting it on a level with similarly thin devices such as the HP Spectre - although its gold and black colour scheme does draw the eye much like its competitor.

This helps run the device using some clever passive cooling technology, as thanks to the super-slim build the entire device is fanless.

Acer reckons that you can get up to nine hours of power using the Swift 7, thanks to Intel's improvements in chip speed, meaning it should easily last you a full day's usage.

The Swift 7 will launch in Europe in October for £1,299. “We are thrilled to announce the new Swift series, a complete ultra- thin laptop lineup with something for everyone,” said Jerry Hou, General Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc.

“Front and centre is the flagship Swift 7 with an all-aluminium chassis that’s less than one centimetre thin, while still packing in performance and stamina for all-day productivity.

How to enable the linux bash shell in Windows 10.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:10:00 -0700

Today am going to write about how to enable the linux bash shell in windows 10, using Bash, you can navigate around the file system, install and run Linux command line apps like the vi text editor or, with some unofficial tweaks, try to load windowed programs. However, before you can use Bash in Windows 10, you have to turn it on. Here's how.

1. Navigate to Settings. You can get there by clicking the gear icon on the Start menu.

2. Click Update & security.

3. Select For Developers in the left column.

4. Select Developer Mode under "Use developer features" if it's not already enabled.

5. Navigate to the Control Panel (the old Windows control panel). You can get there by hitting Windows Key + X and selecting Control panel from the pop-up menu that appears.

6. Select Programs and Features. If it's not visible, make sure you select "Large icons" from the "View by" menu.

7. Click "Turn Windows features on or off."

8. Toggle "Windows Subsystem for Linux" to on and click Ok.

9. Click the Restart Now button.

10. Search for Bash in the Cortana / Search box and click its icon.

11. Type "y" and hit Enter when promoted to install Ubuntu. The system will then take a few minutes to install Ubuntu in the command prompt window.

12. Create a username and password.

You can now use the Bash shell as if you were on a a computer with Ubuntu installed as its primary OS.

How to Activate and use God mode in Windows 10.

noreply@blogger.com (Haryortee) — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:07:00 -0700

God Mode folder provides links to a range of administration tools and tweaks in Windows. Here's how to activate the omnipotent "God Mode" in Windows 10.

1. Right-click on the desktop and go to New > Folder to create a new folder.

2. Name the folder: GodMode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (Complete with the period after GodMode and the curly brackets)

Note: that you can replace "GodMode" with any text you want, such as "phenixmode" or "mytools" after getting the God mode folder first.

3. Open the GodMode folder to access over 260 commands , from administrative tools to backup tools to internet options and other important settings.

So that all hope you enjoy using God mode.
