1. Security:
USB Drives are one of the major tool through which data transfer takes place. In order to protect your data from getting stolen from you computer with the help of a USB drive you can make the USB drives read only.
Go to  ‘HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies‘ and   create a new DWORD value ‘WriteProtect‘ and set its value to 1. This will enable you to read from USB drives, but you won’t be able to copy data to it.
2. Sorting Files:
Quite often you want the files to appear according to their names in explorer. In order to restore the ASCII file ordering, perform the following hack :
Go to ‘HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer’ and create a new DWORD value called as ‘NoStrCmpLogical’ and set its value to 1.
3. Speeding Up Menu loading time:
In order to make your menus load faster, perform the following tweak.
Go to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\Desktop‘ and right click ‘MenuShowDelay’ and click ‘Modify’. Change the string value to some nearby 100 value.

Make Free Phone Calls with Google Voice

       
Google Voice currently provides free PC-to-PC voice and video calling worldwide between users of the Google Voice and free outbound calls for users resident in the US. Incoming calls can be received on an optional Google Voice phone number in the US and on any additional phone numbers of the subscriber.

Other features available to users resident in the US include voicemail, call history, conference calling, call screening, call blocking, SMS text messaging, call forwarding (to your other phone numbers), and voicemail transcription via email or text message.

You don’t need to sign up for a phone number or a Gmail account to start using Google Voice to make free calls in the US from your PC. An optionalGoogle Voice phone number would allow anyone to call your home and/or mobile phones and your PC from their phone. Your PC needs to be turned on and you need to be signed into Gmail to receive calls on your PC.

The optional Gmail plug-in allows you to make and receive calls from your Gmailaccount (part of the Gmail Chat feature). It appears you can only make calls from your Google Voice account webpage (not receive calls) and manage the voicemail and alert messages. Messages and alerts can forward to any email address if desired.

Google Voice is not a substitute for a home or cell phone number and does not support 911 calls. I use it to integrate my cell phone and home phone calls without affecting either of those services.

Here's what I recommend:

1) Sign up for a Google Voice phone number in your area code while they are still available and free or you can use any area code and select an available number.

2) Sign up for a Google Voice account and configure settings, including your home and mobile numbers, and record your name, etc. You could start with the defaults and experiment.

3) Download and install the Google Talk browser plug-in for Gmail. It’s not obvious that this needs to be installed or where to find it but you can download it here: www.google.com/chat/voice

You could start using Google Voice by opening a Google Voice accountwithout a Google Voice phone number. This would allow you to make free calls to any US number from your computer with speaker and microphone, or a headset. No one could call you from a phone though because you don't have a number. They can call you from their PC using their Google Voice account or the Google Talk browser plug-in if they have Gmail.

I recommend getting a Google Voice phone number while they are currently available for free. You can use a different area code if most of your calls are from that area code for your Callers to save on long-distance charges. You can browse for an available number by area code search for numbers that contain certain digits that you desire. My Google Voice number has the same last four digits as my cell phone number to make it easy to remember.

The first time I called my Google Voice number I was surprised and impressed when my cell phone, home phone, and PC started ringing. Email messages and transcribed emails keep me informed about all me calls and voicemail messages. I put my Google Voice number on my business cards and my email signature block to start porting callers to my new number. Google Voice should help me to not miss incoming calls, whether I’m at home, work, or away.

There are Two category that you can use to make your network cable from a cat 5 Roll of cable. The ways is either making your cable to be a straight through cable or a cross over cable, Making a cable from any of  this different method depends on what you wish to use your cable to connect.

Requirements for making a networking cable
Here before you can make a cable you need to get the following
* Your Gripping tools

At first, Lets start by defining what a Straight Through Cable is:  A straight through cable is a cable that is used to connect a network from a switch to PC or from modems to PC or Router, and also a cable that has its two ends equal i mean in coding.
A Cross Over cable : A cross over cable also has all the qualities that a straight through cable has but its more useful than that of a straight through because, It can be used to connect from PC to PC, and it can do all other things that the other can do easily without stress.
Color code arrangement of these cables
For a straight through cable which is ends are equal this is the arrangement

Color code arrangement for a straight through cable
White / Orange	White /Orange
Orange	Orange
White / Green	White / Green
Blue	Blue
White / Blue	White / Blue
Green	Green
White / Brown	White / Brown
Brown	Brown

An these kind of coding both ends are equal showing that it’s a straight through.
For a Cross Over Cable whose ends are not equal the arrangement are done thus:

Color code arrangement for a cross over cable
White / Orange	White / Green
Orange	Green
White / Green	White / Orange
Blue	Blue
White / Blue	White / Blue
Green	Orange
White / Brown	White / Brown
Brown	Brown

Procedures for arrangement
* Cut out your desired lenght of the cable you are intending to make
* Peel the cable
* Placing all these cable has to be done with proper care and firm handling, after you might have peel the cable, Cut the wooly part away to allow a free flow of arrangement
* Arrange the desired coding you wish to make, (either a straight through or a cross over).

7 Ways to Improve Your Blog Loading Speed

           Loading time of your website or blog is one of the important factors influencing search engine optimization, which when is too slow could take the reader away from your website and move onto the next, thus indirectly affecting your page ranking as well. Some of the factors affecting the loading speed are the presence of Java Scripts and the lack of use of web-optimized images.

Follow the tips and tricks discussed here for improving the loading time of your web or blog.
1. Cache your pages:
Caching is one of the simple things, which you can do in ease, despite sounding technical it is very essential and crucial in enhancing the user experience. WordPress have a number of caching Plugins, which includes WP Super Cache and W3 total cache. W3 total cache has been most highly recommended for those using content delivery network (CDN) and CDN has an in-built option to activate automatically.
2. Compress HTML, CSS and JavaScript:
This is one of the best ways to reduce your blog loading speed and these are the culprits that make your blog load slowly and test your patience. Compression of Java Script and CSS has proved to reduce the loading time of your blog or website, and the best way to do this, if you are using Word Press is to use WP Minify plug-in.
3. Host your blog on a good and reliable webhost:
If you are thinking that you are wasting money on a good web-hosting domain then you are wrong. The use of cheaper hosting domains can cause frequent failures, which might be discouraging and reduce the performance of your blog causing you to lose regular visitors. Therefore, this is advisable, especially for a new blogger or a webmaster to go for some of the popular web hosting domains like Hostgator, especially if you are using WordPress.
 4. Optimize WordPress Images:
The time taken for a blog to load turns out to be longer than you would have thought of while using the image. However, many a times you will not feel like deserting some images that looks great on your blog or website. In such cases, it is best to optimize the images for your website and use some image editing tools or softwares like Adobe Photoshop to make the images much more web-friendly. If you are finding Photoshop a bit daunting, then there is automatic online image compression software called Smush.it, which is worth a try.
5. Avoid too many plug-ins:
There is a number of plug-ins in WordPress which may be tempting for you to use them in your WordPress blog or website. However, this is always good to keep the use of WordPress plug-ins to the minimal amount, and by choosing plug-ins that will suit more than one of your needs than choosing separate plug-in for each of your requirement. The lesser the plug-ins the lesser the loading speed of your website or blog.
6. Optimize website database:
This is one of the difficult things that you will be doing for reducing the loading time of your website or blog. One of the best ways to do this is not manually, as you may land up frequently with the following error, “database connection error”, even if you are making the smallest of the mistake. So one of the best things to do is to use the Word Press plug-in WP-Optimize, which does the job automatically without any errors.
7. Use content delivery network (CDN):
This helps to enhance the blog load time that this stores all the static pages onto their servers, and when any visitor comes to visit your website the blog content is served from the server of CDN. This also decreases the bandwidth usage of your current host, and Max CDN has been recommended to be the most affordable until to date.

7 ways to increase Torrent Speed

           The use of Bit Torrent is an efficient way to transfer files of just about any size quickly and efficiently. How this works is by breaking the huge files into smaller pieces and is from one or many of the different sources. This is one of the best ways to transfer bulky files quickly even when you are using a low bandwidth connection. There are many more things that you can do with Bit Torrent, but here we are going to discuss how to make this work much faster.



Here are some essential tips for the same,

1. Start with your ISP:

All ISP has a preset maximum upload and download speed, and you cannot make your torrent work beyond this speed. All you can do is to use the best use of this upload and download speed even when the signal is weak. You can check the maximum speed that you can achieve by conducting a broadband speed test and compare with the DSLReports that comes with your uTorrent.

2. Opt-In for healthy seeds and peers:

A peer is any computer participating           in downloading and uploading of torrent files along with that of yours. A seeder is one who has a complete copy of the file that is being shared across a torrent network. A leecher is the person who has joined the network recently and do not have most of the file that you or the peer has. This leecher becomes the seeder when they download the entire file and is able to share it across the network.  For getting high torrent speed, you need to increase the number of seeders to increase the chance of healthier and reception of higher speeds.

3. Get through the firewall:

Many times, you will find the administrator or the firewall in your web browser is set to block and receive torrent files. The first thing that you need to do is to get appropriate permissions for downloading torrent files, and add this to your firewall, which will enhance the speed at which you can download torrent files. If the internet is through a router, then you have to set the torrent file to cross the barrier of the security of the router also.

4. Go to a different port:

The default port for BitTorrent protocol is always between the numbers 6881-6999. This is because BitTorrent sharing will involve high bandwidth usage. However, this is possible that you can configure a different port for your torrent client and this has been best advised to set this number to somewhere around 10000.

5. Limit your upload rate:

A peer to peer network is sharing alike on the same or similar platform and therefore you should be able to set your client’s upload speed rate to a maximum amount, which will usually be about 80 percent of your maximum upload speed that is being offered by your ISP. Keep this speed, as high as possible, but you have to play your cards well as the upload speed affects your download speed as well.

6. Use your common sense:

If you understand the concept of how Bit Torrent works, then your common sense will automatically tell you that this is possible to view the individual files being downloaded and disable the ones that you are not in need off, which will  help you to speed up the process of downloading the files using Bit Torrent.

7. Bandwidth and connections:

This is possible to set the maximum number of connections, maximum number of peers connected per torrent and number of slots per torrent so that you can decide on which numbers gives the maximum efficiency from your Bit Torrent files.

         Today, I am going to tell you how to convert your Mozilla Firefox  into an undetectable keylogger. This keylogger will be used to store all the usernames and passwords that will be entered by the user.

          
          The keylogger will work on the basis of a script that disables the Firefox browser to ask the user to save his password whenever he logins to a website. Thereby, allowing the Firefox to store his username and password combination automatically without prompting the user. Just follow these steps to convert your firefox into a keylogger :

1. First and foremost, download the script from here.
2. If you are a Windows user, then navigate to C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/Components
and if you are using MAC, then navigate to Applications -> Right Click Firefox -> Show Package Contents -> Contents/MacOS/Components
3. In the downloaded rar file, you will find a script named as nsLoginManagerPrompter.js, simply extract and then copy and paste the file in the folder that is applicable to you.
4. Your Firefox keylogger is now ready and whenever anyone enters his username and password on any site, his details would be saved automatically which can be easily retrieved using Fire Password viewer.

How to Moniter Your Entire Network

Are you stuck in the worries of how? To monitor your network and rationalise errors or Even trying to keep your track of how your network has grown? Well at the end of the this write up you will find answers to your question….. Now lets take a good look at the things have got for you…
There are several ways to monitor a network, and with these multiple ways some still encounters error, what you needed to monitor your network depends on how extensive your network is, contact an advance network manager for more info.
What is meant by the word Network Monitoring?
This am sure is going to come across your mind when you see probably see this article How to monitor your entire network. Well the meaning to this is not far fetched, we can easily say monitoring a network means taking care of a network by monitoring just as it sounds, watching out can also be used in place of monitoring. But in a more technical terms network monitoring is ensures, that all servers are properly functioning, that data can be sent in and out from each server, and that each function or functions sharing the server responds as required. With an advanced network monitoring service you can even remotely monitor your network.
What do a Network Monitoring  Monitors?
DNS / Domain Controllers
These are servers that is configured to translate to website’s name example is www.URL.com, into internet protocol (IP) addresses E.g. 209.85.147.106 that computers understand. If your DNS servers are not working properly, this will intensely make end-users not being able to find your site and therefore will get an error. Usually only an external or remote monitoring service will detect such a problem because it’s an internal error.

FTP servers
File Transfer servers: These are usually servers that is used to exchange file within and outside the network, so if your server contains FTP service a monitoring service can ensure that is up and running.
POP3 and SMTP servers
These are servers used for exchanging emails incoming and outgoing. If you are using email on your network, there are lots of probability that you are using an SMTP and POP3. If your SMTP server is down, everyone who sends you email will receive an error, and the error will be stating that your mail server is down and cannot accept incoming email. And more so If your POP3 server is down, you will not be able to retrieve email from your mailbox. Even with that, only external monitoring will prevent such a problem.
FIREWALLS
Many home and office businesses uses firewalls to protect their internal network from un-authorized jamming, such as a spyware, malwares and viruses sent to the network by competitors. Furthermore, a firewall is your first level defense in a strong and advance networks. If your firewall goes down, your whole network may actually become inaccessible from outside. In other words, firewall goes down and you host your own website and mail servers, all those will become inaccessible to the outside world. Once again, remote network monitoring is required to detect that a problem exists and quickly get it repaired.
Therefore note that If you own the servers, or are remotely hosted on dedicated servers, you must likely need to monitor everything.  If your site is hosted on shared servers, you might need fewer functions monitored.
