  1. I'm glad most of you didn't have any down time, sadly, my site was down for a week nearly, but it's back and all is well for now. I hope no more changes are scheduled at least for awhile. And gosh, if you do have to make overhauls, I sure wish you would do it in the dead of winter when I have nothing better to do than stay in the house where it is warm and fuss with my computer. Not in the middle of spring when I am so busy trying to keep up with everything outside!

     

    Your Site is HUGGEEEE. Its not a normal site... ^_^


  2. Like now, this is what I have decided... I need your opinions.

     

    Create Single-Login for Xisto and TalkSense (Xisto / Xisto).

     

    Xisto - Purely Free Hosting oriented forum where all Forums and Categories will be related to Designing, Developing and Hosting Websites. More sort of a Forum for Web Designers. This site will also have an internal bridge to Xisto - Support.com Billing Area to help Members manage MyCENTS right from Xisto.com itself. All concepts of myCENTS and practically every information about mycents and free hosting will be here.

     

    TalkSense - Everything apart from Web Design & Hosting is discussed here. This Site will simply offer mycents in backend without talking much about it. One must Login to Xisto to Manage MyCENTS. (remember... same login for both sites?)

     

    I will move topics from asta to ks accordingly - Since sorting the content has been an issue from long back.

     

    The Microsites concept will be used only for offering fast searching and latest Activity in their respective categories. The Microsites will only display the first post of every topic and forward the user to the main version of the forum.


  3. If you have a html page with Downloads, Just rename it to .php

    and at the very top of the file, Put this Code :-

    <?php define('PTLD', '/mySecretlogs/' ); // <-- This is all you have to Set! define('PTLF', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . PTLD . 'logsbasename(__FILE__) . '.txt'); file_put_contents(PTLF,  date("D M j G:i:s T Y") . "\t" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\t". $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . "\t" . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] . "n", FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);?>

    A Folder which will be accessible by YourWebSite.Com/mySecretlogs/contact_us.php.txt - Ensure this folder mySecretlogs/ has write permissions and feel free to change the name in file and on Server. This will contain all Log Files for each File that needs to be tracked (which means injecting the above code and renaming the extension of file to php - pls fix any broken links this step may cause. Password Protect this folder is possible. Access your logs from YourWebSite.Com/mySecretlogs/contact_us.php.txt


  4. All I can suggest be as safe as possible and keep your eyes open. If you find any suspicious activity, google it and find the solution. Most of them will lead to some patch or some special removal tool.

     

    I recommend creating a Special user account with encrypted file system with good Firewall/antivirus/anti-malware/anti-spyware and Most Important, Do only your Work and Install No other Fancy stuff. And Do not Open any Unknown files.

     

    as for your Other Account which you want to experiment and play with apps - Create a Standard Account i.e. WithOut root / administrator privileges.

    OR If possible, Create a New Partition and Setup a New OS installation which can be easily selected during Boot Up.


  5. pls dont take this very seriously...

    1. Learn TCP/IP, Basic Information gathering, Proxies, Socks, SSL, VPN, VPS, RDP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, Telnet, SSH.
    2. Learn Linux, Unix, Windows - You can do this using vmware or any virtual desktop utility.

    3. Learn a programming language that's compatible with all OS - Perl, Python, C .

    4. Learn HTML, PHP, Javascript, ASP, XML, SQL, XSS, SQLI, RFI, LFI

    5. Learn Reverse engineering and crack some programs for serials easy ones like mirc, winzip, winrar or old games.

    6. Code a fuzzer for common protocols - ftp, pop3, 80, 8080 - Pick some free software like ftp server, mail server, apache or iis webserver or a webserver all-in-one pack, or teamspeak, ventrilo, mumble.

    7. Code a tool that uses grep to sort out unique code in source codes.

    8. Make a custom IPtable, IPsec firewall that blocks all incoming traffic and out going traffic and add filters to accept certain ports that your software or scripts use.

    9. Pick a kernel in linux or unix, also pick a Microsoft OS version lets say Winxp pro sp2 put them on the virtual desktops (vmware) and find and code a new local exploit in those versions, then install a Apache webserver on the Linux/Unix and a IIS webserver on the winxp pro and attempt to find and code a new local reverse_tcp_shell exploit.

    10. Learn Cisco Router and Switch configuration and setup.

    11. Learn Checkpoint Setup and Config

    12. Learn Wifi scanning, cracking, sniffing.

    16. Once got access upload a shell and attempt to exploit the server to gain root using a exploit you coded not someone else s exploit.

    17. Make your own Linux Distro

    18. Use your own Linux Distro or use a vanilla Linux gnome (not kde) keep it with not much graphics so you can learn how to depend on the terminal and start from scratch install applications that you will only need for a blackbox (Security test box), make folders for fuzzers, exploits, scanners..etc Then load them up with your own scripts and other tools ( By this stage you shouldn't need to depend on other peoples scripts).

    20. Now Finally.. Create your Own secure network and secure your own systems with your own Security policies and firewall settings.


    found on fb.. <snipped> some points, for being uber silly :)

  6. God : Hello. Did you call me?
    Me: Called you? No.. who is this?

    God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

    Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

    God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

    Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

    God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

    Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

    God : Well I wanted to resolve your! fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

    Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

    God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

    Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?

    God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

    Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

    God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

    Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. .

    God : Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.

    Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

    God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

    Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?

    God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

    Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why cant we be free from problems?

    God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you! are free from problems.

    Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..

    God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading.Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

    Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

    God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

    Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

    God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

    Me: What surprises you about people?

    God : when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

    Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cant get the answer.

    God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

    Me: How can I get the best out of life?

    God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

    Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

    God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

    Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.

    God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!


    found this in my mail today. :)

  7. A driver meets Pope Benedict XVI at the airport.
    After getting all of the Pope's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb.

    "Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver. "Would you please take your seat so we can leave?"

    "Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today."

    "I'm sorry but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And supposing something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing that he'd never gone to work that morning.

    "There might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope.

    Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel.

    The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.

    "Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.

    "Oh, dear God, I'm gonna lose my license," moans the driver.

    The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.

    "I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.

    The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a hundred and five.

    "So bust him," says the Chief. "I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop.

    The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!" "No, I mean really important," said the cop.

    The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"

    Cop: "Bigger."

    Chief: "Governor?"

    Cop: "Bigger."

    "Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"

    Cop: "I think it's God!"

    Chief: "What makes you think it's God?"

    Cop: "He's got the bl**dy Pope as a chauffeur!!"



  8. haha.. Sorry, something was going fishy with the memory tables causing server to swap. It my statement sounds strange... I can explain it in a new topic :) The good part is, I fixed it and I know How to implement that memory thing to make sites a hell lot Faster. :)
