Turn Off Your Monitor By Keyboard

Hey guys, have you ever tried to turn off your monitor from your keyboard? Here is how you can do it.

PushMonitorOff is a tiny application which easily allows you to turn your monitor off directly from your keyboard. This option usually comes in laptop where you don'e have a separate monitor power button. You can use this application by downloading it from here.

This application is very easy to use. Just use your shift+f1 key to switch it on or off and also you can modify the shortcut keys as well.

Hacking Java Script Sites

I know dis is lame but just would like to share wid u.have nothing for next half an hour so typing it.

Here are many ways to defeat java-script protected websites. Some are very simplistic, such as hitting[ctl-alt-del ]when the password box is displayed, to simply turning offjava capability, which will dump you into the default page.You can try manually searching for other directories, by typing the directory name into the url address box of your browser, ie: you want access to www.target.com .


Try typing www.target.com/images .(almost ever y web site has an images directory) This will put you into the images directory,and give you a text list of all the images located there. Often, the title of an image will give you a clue to the name of another directory. ie: in www.target.com/images, there is a .gif named gamestitle.gif . There is a good chance then, that there is a 'games' directory on the site,so you would then type in www.target.com/games, and if it isa valid directory, you again get a text listing of all the files available there.
For a more automated approach, use a program like WEB SNAKE from anawave, or Web Wacker. These programs will create a mirror image of an entire web site, showing all director ies,or even mirror a complete server. They are indispensable for locating hidden files and directories.What do you do if you can't get past an opening "PasswordRequired" box? . First do an WHOIS Lookup for the site. In our example, www.target.com . We find it's hosted by www.host.com at 100.100.100. 1.

We then go to 100.100.100.1, and then launch \Web Snake, and mirror the entire server. Set Web Snake to NOT download anything over about 20K. (not many HTML pages are bigger than this) This speeds things up some, and keeps you from getting a lot of files and images you don't care about. This can take a long time, so consider running it right before bed time. Once you have an image of the entire server, you look through the directories listed, and find /target. When we open that directory, we find its contents, and all of its sub-directories listed. Let's say we find /target/games/zip/zipindex.html . This would be the index page that would be displayed had you gone through the password procedure, and allowed it to redirect you here.By simply typing in the url www.target.com/games/zip/zipindex.html you will be onthe index page and ready to follow the links for downloading.

Setting Up UBUNTU Lamp

This guide will help newbies set up a fully working LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server using on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Doing do will allow you to use various PHP applications such as the popular phpBB forums and WordPress blog in addition to the basic HTML pages and files. I write this based on an “out of the box” Ubuntu.

Let’s begin…


Install Packages
First, install the required packages by typing the following into the terminal:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

This will install Apache, PHP, MySQL, their respective modules, and phpMyAdmin. Enter your preferred root password for mySQL when prompted and choose apache2 to be automatically configured.

If you’d like, you can test whether if Apache is working properly by going to http://localhost/ in your web browser.

Letting Other Computers on the Same Network Connect (Optional)

Optionally, if you want computers on the same network to connect to the server you may want to edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf by invoking the command:

sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Then, replace the following line with your own IP address.

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Configuring
To enable PHP and MySQL to work together, edit the php.ini file:

sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Then un-comment the following line. Save and close the file.

;extension = mysql.so

Accessing PHPMyAdmin
Edit the Apache configuration file:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the following line to the bottom of the file. Save and close.

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Restart Apache.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Testing PHP
Create and edit a file called testphp.php in your /var/www/ folder:

sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php

Insert the following text inside that file and save:

Go back to your web browser and navigate to:

http://localhost/testphp.php

The PHP page should display. If a download window appears instead, something went wrong. Try reinstalling php5 and libapache2-mod-php5.

Testing phpMyAdmin
Navigate your web browser to:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

If the phpMyAdmin login page displays, then…

You are done. That wasn’t so hard.

Now that you have LAMP running, why not try some applications? To manage your server remotely, it would probably be a good idea to install SSH.

Note: The root directory of your web server is /var/www/

IE 7 and 8 Default Security Leaves Intranet at Risk
