SSL or not is Facebook Safe From Hackers?


All over the world people access Facebook directly by typing www.facebook.com orhttp://www.facebook.com which is insecure and can be sniffed by hackers on your network, your co-workers, your boss, your ISP and virtually anyone that you didn't meet before.
so how do I secure my self?
The S, yes it's all about the S it means secured, simply add the S to the http:// so it becomes https:// by doing this facebook will exchange a key with your machine that only you and Facebook have and it's unique for every session, the key will be used to encrypt all data transfered between you and facebook which we web developers call SSL or Secure Socket Layer.

Next time remember:
httpS://www.facebook.com 

I mean what Mark Zuckerberg is thinking, SSL should be enabled by default and forced like in Gmail, why do we have to force SSL on facebook our selves.

Download Android APK files directly with an easy Google search hack



Yep I don't know how I didn't think if this, I use Google always to find whatever files like videos and mp3's and I tried to find Android APK files and it worked very well.
To find and download APK files easly "Android Package" which most applications comes packed in just type this in Google or simply click it right now "-inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:asp intitle:"index of" +(apk)".
This is simply searching directories holding files with APK extension which website owners didn't care to protect using an index.html file or .htaccess anti directory listing.

Enjoy downloading, if you find it hard to memorize just type "Download android APK google hack" on Google, access this page and click the link.

You will find stuff that ain't on the market because of your region or network.

Regards.

How to change imei on an adroid phone


Changing any android phones IMEI is not impossible but it's illegal since those codes is important to track you, and they work also like as an address so no 2 phones are the same, and if so they will stop functioning both as a conflict happn, a lot of people have been asking me on how to change the IMEI code of an G1 or G2 aka HTC hero but the simple answer is that all attemps of changing IMEI failed and caused bricking lot of android phones, it seems like the IMEI is hardware more then a software as loading a custom rom doesn't effect the IMEI "(International Mobile Equipment Identity)" altho some people reported that a costume rom did add 2 extra digits at the end of their IMEI when they type "*#06#".

There might be some IMEI spoofer for android that works on the software layer to deliver the wrong information but a search in Google returned this "ANDROID IMEI SPOOFER".

If you are trying to change your IMEI to repair/fix it when got damaged by a custom rom you can keep digging, otherwise you need to stop because this act is illegal in most countries.


Invalid token (hack attempt) or timeout. Go back, refresh that page, and try again.


Pligg is a nice social/share/publish php application, it's simply what you want to name it, it can be a digg alternative or whatever, and it's free.
but much trouble coming out like this message when you try to add or edit categories, groups and other sections of the admin panel: "Invalid token (hack attempt) or timeout. Go back, refresh that page, and try again.",  but it really depends on your host, pligg will work perfectly at most web hosts if you encounter this message you can re upload the admin folder and it will be fixed if not you can change host or wait for a fix.

applied to Pligg 1.0.3b

Recover deleted sticky notes on Windows 7


If you deleted a sticky note from you Windows 7 by accidnt or simply want to extract it from a dead windows or Windows.old folder simply go to:
RUN and past the following:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt
Check "Select a program from of a list of installed programs"
Select notepad and open.
You will be able now to find it and read the content.
if you are recovering it from another computer/hardisk or windows.old folder simply just place the drive letter or folder of  windows.old.
another more simple method is to show hidden files from tools then browse manually to:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes
Replace user name with your name, and if recovering from another hardisk "External old disk" change the C: to the drive letter of that harddisk

Or
C:\Windows.old\Users\wissam\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes
in case of recovery after upgrade or re-installing windows 7 over another or the same windows.

You can even use hirenboot or Ubuntu Live CD to access your broken system and restore your files plus the sticky notes.

Hope I helped, regards

Android 3d games


Since G1 or way we've called Google phone every one was wondering if it will get 3d games someday, at the moment lot of phones running Android 1.5 or up until 2.1 like motorola droid, HTC hero, HTC magic and lot of others have the needed hardwalre to run 3d games but no good 3d games out, the answer is the lack of developers and I mean big professional companies like the ones who developed for the iPhone and the internal space of Android devices, I mean we need a solution to be able to install apps on SD, my 150mb on HTC hero can't hold a one 3d game of the iPhone.
Hopefully Android 2.1 will do something about it without rooting your device and loading custom roms.
Wrote this from my HTC hero.

"windows.old" access denied Fix How to gain access to your old files



Today I will teach you how to solve the access denied error you get when you access "Windows.old" folder on your drive, usually this folder is created after installing windows over windows or after upgrading, it contains your old documents, desktop and programs.

This fix apply to:
Windows xp (32bit-64bit)
Windows Vista (32bit-64bit)
Windows 7 (32bit-64bit)

If you tried it in another version like win 89 or else let me know even I know it won’t apply as permittions  was too weak those days.


Ok lets get started, first go to any windows explorer windows "I don't mean internet explorer but any window with files view", click on tools at the to if it's not shown like on windows 7 just press ALT and it will appear.
Click the "folder options" tab and then scroll down until you find "Use sharing wizard" or in xp and vista you will find Advanced > Use simple sharing and uncheck that and click Apply > OK.

Now go to your C: and where ever Windows.old right click it and > Properties then go to permittions tab, now you will be able to see the permittion options because we disabled simple sharing.

On security window click on Administrators and in the check boxes right after it check "full control", click Apply > OK.

now wait until it apply the new permittion to all your files, it could take hours if you have lot of files, but when it's done you will be able to access all of your files.

If it didn't work and still say the same don't worry just type in the address bar "C:\Windows.old" manually and hit enter, to get red of this just restart your comp to refresh permittions.
Glad to be your life saver, enjoy and congratulations on getting your files back.

Please do not hesitate to leave a comment.
