I’ve started to enjoy drawing banners in Adobe Photoshop CS4. Too bad that I’ve installed some updates of Windows 7 and Photoshop tells me now that my screen is defect. And because of that the colors aren’t so clear. WTF…before installing the updates the screen worked properly and after that Photoshop tells me that I have to calibrate it? Pretty awkward.
But I don’t blame Windows because I’ve installed Linux Ubuntu 9.10 (called Karmic Koala) a few days ago and this operating system was released with a bug . Because of this bug you can’t set the Internet connection. Finally, after a long research on the Internet and big headeaches I found on an Ubuntu forum a solution which fixes the problem. I applied it, it worked and I went quickly to Update Manager to be sure that my PC is up to date. So, Linux downloaded and installed the updates and what a surprise… I got with no sound. The conclusion? Everywhere are bugs. Even in operating systems as Linux. I am wondering now what will happen if the black hat hackers will stop developing malware for Windows and redirect their attention to Linux. Will they find bugs as many as they did in Windows?
This PHP script lets you to send a huge number of emails to an email address. Basically, it floods that email account.
An important feature of the script is that all emails are different from one another. Each time the script sends an email, the sender is different (for instance, keagon.goldsmith@gmail.com, kurt.taylor@yahoo.com, estelle.cook@hotmail.com and so on). Same for the body and the subject of the email. So, each email has its own sender, subject and body which is very important because only a few emails will get in Junkbox. Most of them will get in Inbox which is our purpose.
This PHP script generates randomly a password. It allows you to choose the number of characters of the password and the type of the characters: lower case letters (abcdef…), capitals (ABCDEF…), digits (012345…) and symbols (!@#$%…).
The big advantage of using randomly generated passwords is that this kind of passwords are very hard, perhaps impossible, to be cracked by a malicious script or to be guessed by someone. So, everytime when you will use a randomly generated password you will be protected against brute force attacks, dictionary attacks, social engineering.
But these passwords have a major issue: they are very hard to be kept in minde. Because of this reason, we should learn to choose personally a password. A password must be easily kept in mind but strong enough not to be cracked or guessed. So, I will show a technique to reach this target. We have to pick a word familiar to us and to write it down using a special alphabet. For a clearer understanding I will present a demonstration. I choose my name “Marian” as a password and I write it down like this: |\/|@r!@|\|. As everybody sees, I replaced “m” with “|\/|”, “a” with “@”, “i” with “!” and “n” with “|\|”. Regarding the others letters of latin alphabet we can replace :
- “b” with “|3″ (vertical line and three)
- “d” with “|)” (vertical line and right parenthesis)
- “e” with “3″ (three)
- “h” with “|-|” (vertical line, minus and vertical line)
- “k” with “|<” (vertical line and less-than sign)
- “o” with “0″ (zero)
- “u” with “|_|” (vertical line, underscore and vertical line)
- “x” with “><” (greater-than sign and less-than sign)
