HOW TO SURPASS FILTERS LIKE SONIC WALL???

Most of the time, in college or in school, social networking site, entertainment site etc. which are often preferred during boring times in lab or at work place, are blocked by using some filters available such as the one provided by Dell called Sonic Wall. In such a scenario, sometimes, useful sites are also blocked due to the presence of negative tips like hacking or crashing, preventing from access to what we need. In this blog, i'll let you know about how to surpass such filters and access what is needed.

The main idea is to access such pages by changing the url from english to some other language, say Arabic, and getting in, and again switching back to English :-D Let me tell you how to do it!

Consider an example, http://www.breakthesecurity.com/ which is a hacking site(Just for an example... I'm not recommending this site actually! :-P)

<>Go to the link http://www.translate.google.com.

<>Type the website in the left pane.  

<>Chose some language from the drop down list, say Tamil and click Translate.

<>The webpage will start to load in the same page in Tamil language. 

<>To change the page to English, click the Original button on top right corner of the page. 

Thats it!!! Enjoy browsing :-) But don't get caught :-D lol

175 DEGREE 160 INCH CURVED GAMING SCREEN!!!

It is really a stunning news for Hardcore game lovers that the Swedish company Norman Design is offering a very great Formula 1 Simulation game in a curved screen which was ever released before.

It is not necessary for Formula 1 racers to go to the circuit and practise for the race. They can now sit back in their home for taking lap practises which gives them real experience of driving with an original car in the circuit.(It sounds really cool!!!)

This simulator comes with the 160 inch curved screen, chair attached to it, a full system with powerful computer capable of running the special software and other stuffs like steering, accelerators, breaks etc. This simulator is portable, weighing 49.8 kg(110 pounds). It is priced 114,000 dollars for the entire simulation set and 28,500 dollars for the display alone. The company also provides lease option so that the simulator can be used on a contract basis. In near future, every game is expected to chose its screen shape, giving real gaming experience.

ORACLE VIRTUAL BOX

Most of you will have a dual boot and work with 2 operating systems. To do so, you need to partition the drives, allocate memory for each OS and establish your need. This dual boot option gives you  a provision to work with more than 1 OS. But

with this dual boot option, you can work with only one OS at one time. Also if you need to share some files between different OS in the system, it is possible only by copying the desired file from one OS in USB, CD or using other medium. Direct file transfer between the OS is not possible(But now it is possible. For eg. in Ubuntu 11.04, one drive is shared among both the OS so that mere copy-paste can be used to share files)

Oracle Corporation has developed an application called Oracle Virtual Box. In this, you can load any number of OS(called Guest OS because these OS are installed in addition to the existing OS which is called Host OS) in it and work with many OS. What makes the difference with this Virtual Box is that, it runs the desired OS in a separate window as an application. 

linux OS in windows 7 OS

Suppose for eg. if you wanna run an application say MS word, you double click it to get the MS word and continue with your work. The same concept is applied for the OS. Virtual Box will have a list of installed OS in it. What you wanna do to work with an OS is just click the OS. OS will be loaded in a new window as an application.     

I use ubuntu linux using Oracle Virtual Box... 

Virtual Box Application in which i've added ubuntu linux

Like this you can add several OS in this list by clicking on New below File menu.

Each Guest OS in VM can be configured independently. Guest OS can communicate with Host OS through a number of mechanisms like common clipboard, shared folder, virtualized network facility.

Also Guest OS can communicate among each other if configured.

shared folder option for file sharing

All the resources like pendrive, printer etc. can be used by the Guest OS exactly like the Host OS, even internet. You can browse on all the active Guest OS along with Host OS simultaneously. :-)

This is all i have tried and i know about Virtual Box so far. You are welcome to discuss about Virtual Box further. Thanks for reading my blog :-) Comment on my blog... Stay tuned for my next post... :-)

HOW TO SEND .EXE FILES VIA MAIL???

There are times where you wanna send some important .exe files such as programs via mail. But you will be annoyed to see the message from gmail or other mail services which goes like this...

xxx.exe IS AN EXECUTABLE FILE. FOR SECURITY REASONS, GMAIL DOES NOT ALLOW YOU 

TO SEND THIS TYPE OF FILE.

Even if you compress the .exe file to .zip or .tar or .gz format and try to mail, gmail scans the file which is zipped to check for its extension and throws the same message. To override this nonsense message and send mails of such types of file, let me tell you a trick. ;-)

The main idea is to change the extension of the file from .exe to some other format say .jpg. To do so, follow the instructions...

1. Go to the place where the file is located.

2. Go to Tools -> Folder options.

3. Switch to View tab. 

4. Uncheck the HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES check box if it is checked and click apply.

5. Now rename the extension of the file to .jpg or .dll or whichever you like. But make sure that the new extension is allowed by the mail service. Now the mail can be sent!!! :-)

6. The recipient must also follow the same procedure to change the format of the received file to .exe and he/she can use the file.

This is one scenario. You can apply the same trick for different purposes. :-) 

Consider the situation where you wanna add your friend's photo in gmail contact which is in .exif or in .raw format. But gmail allows only  the photos of the format JPG, GIF and PNG. In such cases, this trick can be applied. :-)

FLUTTER APP (Control the music player by your hand)

Most of the time, we used to do multitasking with our system. We usually work with word file by referring to the web browser or we may surf or we may play high definition games. In most of these cases, we used to play music in background. (I usually do this!!!). In such case, if we wanna play or pause the music player, we have to minimize the active window or maximize the music player window from taskbar. This becomes more tedious when we play games like GTA, NFS etc... We can't simply pause or terminate our mission for play/pause the music player.

Using input devices to accept our command has started to sense its death :-D The hot research in image processing is to get input from user in the form of action or gesture and perform the desired operation in the system. Microsoft is working on this and 2 years back, Microsoft stated that it is impossible to use the ordinary webcam of the system to receive gesture of the user and make computer do the operation based on the gesture.

What makes this discussion interesting is that this is made possible by a very small company which actually has only 7 employees under it. That was really interesting. They made the webcam to sense our hand gesture to play/pause the music player. 

What you need to do to pause/play the music player is just raise your hand and show the STOP gesture before the webcam.

The pictorial explanation of how this app works is...

They developed an app called FLUTTERAPP to achieve this. Initially they introduced this app for Mac OS. Just 3 weeks back, they unveiled the Windows version of this app. Since this is their 1st initiative, they may extend this idea to get all kinds of inputs in future in this way so that just webcam can serve as an input device by accepting all sort of inputs eliminating the need for separate device for different mode of inputs... 

Navneet Dalal whose native is Chandigarh, India and who currently resides in San Francisco did this great job. Really Indians are talented. This blog is an evidence to it. :-)

I really loved this technique and i'm sharing this to you. You can download this app in www.flutterapp.com I request everyone to give a try on this app during your idle time. You'll feel the thrill as i did...
