Hackers and ! and the real …

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Hackers have always looked upon with appreciation.But wait ! did i tell who is the real hacker.
General opinion is someone who breaks in to computers gainintg access to criticalinformation on someone elses PC but letme tell you. This is only a misconception.

The people i mentioned above are technically called crackers. Why should i stress upon them being called crackers and not hackers. hackers are peolpe who sit up and write codes , People who build your softwares are called hackers, what many people would call as just programmers , haclers dont break in to your system. Infact people writing a anti virus solution are hackers.

Its an insult to the community as such when some dumb guy breaking in to a computer and gaining control of it is called a Hacker. Its a disgrace to the community as such .

Now coming to cracking. Its true its always fun :) breaking in to systems as far as u call yourself an ethical hacker andlimit your work to find solution to those flaws you are fine else Prison is fine too.

I see one of my friends has been goin around calling himself a hacker :O . Why does he call himslef a hacker ?.

He managed to break in to the Administrator login in our coll internet lab. It surprised us . It really did and when u find out its a windows server, a wry smile is already breaking into. Butwait iam not starting another debate on Windows Vs Linux .

How do u basically hack oops crack a linux machine ?

Well first thing that many people dont do is set a grub passwd . Incase you are wondering wha a grub is ! its the bootloader jus in case u know MBR inwindows.

So all u have to do is

  • reboot the PC wait until the Grub starts loading. and press esc
  • Press e It then leads you down to three menus and the second one is the boot option.
  • U have to press the e again and when u see somethin like the
    grub>rhgb quiet……. go to the end of that line and type in single and press enter
  • and then there u see ur in to the root shell jus type in passwd and there you go u can change the root (admin) passwd.

    Next we move on to the windows ..
    there is only step change the wallpaper often and your system says irecoveravle error.tata. :p

    So guys :P i know this is real basic but somehow i was waiting for my frnd to comeonline she didnt:( so i thought y leave the readers in piece ;)

    Well what about a webserver hack ? MYSQL crash :p PHP break thru ! Shell break through??
    haa! all the stuff is here :)ask me :P

The great secret getting revealed …..

Rang de basanti… Spicy enough but not tasty enough ..

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

For the Past few weeks everyone has been asking me to go and see this latest blockbuster from Amir khan…

Rang De Basanti. Sure i have always been a great fan of Amir Khan . But somehow this film didnt do much to me except may be arouse a sense of belongingness . But i still think it showed the youth in poor light.

Violence can never be a solution.Any bad event that you see around yourslef hasnt come up all of a sudden all of us have had a role in making it that way . If our politics is in bad shape its cos the voters havent voted properly .

If the Police dont work well its cos we people try to bribe them when we need to get a job done and we end up on the other side of job we start howling ” Corrupt India” yes if it is corrupt we must also remember “We are corrupt too” In the end u do hear karan say those “ We will become IAS ,Join the army

I always felt the film could have been better Oops ! we always feel so .

Bug at firefox! :)

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

:) hate ie

Well many people have been complaining about memory leaks with mozilla firefox

Byt developers argue it really isnt a bug its just another feature from firefox. According to reports Memory leak is how firefox manages cache in different tabs.
“To improve performance when navigating (studies show that 39% of all page navigations are renavigations to pages visited < 10 pages ago, usually using the back button), Firefox 1.5 implements a Back-Forward cache that retains the rendered document for the last few session history entries. This can be a lot of data. It's a trade-off. What you get out of it is faster performance as you navigate the web.

For those who remain concerned, here's how the feature works. Firefox has a preference browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers which by default is set to -1. When set to this value, Firefox calculates the amount of me"

The code for memory leak firefox is here check out ;)
