Gaming For Lulz: How to install Windows 8 to allow dual-booting.

Post under windows 8 developer preview install how to dual boot mount .iso file

id='post-body-5069552117736717044'>

A pre-beta Windows 8 Developer Preview is now available for download on Windows Dev Center

To experience the new (somewhat buggy) release, you must download the .iso and install the OS.

But with a lot of people around the internet a little rusty on formatting, shrinking and setting up a dual-boot system I've put together a little guide some of you should read before plunging into a world of sliding squares.

Firstly, if you only have one main hard drive, you need to make space for the new Windows 8 install by shrinking your current volume and partitioning a clean space for the new files.

Go to Start - Right click 'My Computer' and select Manage - Then select Drive Management from the left hand window - Now you should be presented with your drive setup.

If you have only one hard drive, you should see one main block on the lower window. Some drives have a designated partition called "System Reserve" within the main drive. Don't worry about that, it's used for restoring systems and so on. *LEAVE IT ALONE*

Now right click your primary partition and select Shrink.

After the shrinking calculations are done you're presented with a menu that allows you to select how small or large you want the current drive to be shrank to. Just clicking OK ensures that no files will be lost and a safe amount of space will be set aside.

Now you will notice the main block of your hard drive has been split, with a new unallocated space appearing representing the free space we will use for the new install.
Right click this unallocated space and click Format.
Follow the instructions, making sure the file system is set to NTFS.

Also to make life easier name the new volume to something like "Windows8Dev". This just makes for easier navigation later in life.

After this is done you're ready to install Windows 8.

CDBurnerXP

MagicDisc

After downloading the .iso from here, you either need to burn it to a disc using a freeware .iso burner like CDBurnerXP or mount it to a virtual drive using MagicDISC.
I wont go into detail about the process of burning or mounting image files. Google it.

After mounting or burning the image, you need to browse the disc.

DO NOT AUTORUN THE SETUP - THIS WILL RESULT IN A FRESH COPY OF WINDOWS - WITH THE RISK OF LOSING CURRENT OS AND DATA

Browse the disc and search for the setup application within the sources folder on the disc/image.

WindowsDeveloperPreview/sources/setup.exe

Double click the application and allow it to run, follow the steps, making sure that you select to install a new copy of Windows and select the new partition you made.

After following all steps, and after your computer restarting a couple of times you will now be able to boot into Windows 8 Developer Preview. Simply select Windows 8 from the boot menu that comes up after turning your PC on.

The rest is easy. Just follow the setup instructions on screen.

To boot into your native/first/current operating system, simply select it from the boot menu when your PC starts up.

If you're having problems or don't understand the guide fully, leave a comment and I'll try and help.

Samsung Indulge

Post under iphone reviews, smartphones comparison, unlocked blackberry, unlocked cdma smartphones

id='post-body-940148098262584714'>
Across the bottom of the Indulge are chunky physical Android buttons–Menu, Home, Back, and Search. A chrome accent rings around the Indulge, which has a volume rocker on the left, a headphone jack and power button up top, and a covered microUSB port and dedicated camera button on the right. The back cover houses the lens for the 3-megapixel camera and a speaker; underneath the cover resides a 1500mAh battery, SIM card slot (under the battery), and a microSD Card slot. A 4GB card is included, and the Indulge supports cards up to 32GB.
As it’s not a Galaxy S phone, the Indulge doesn’t have a vibrant Super AMOLED display. A high-quality YouTube trailer for the movie Thor looked great during close-ups, but background details got lost in the murky resolution. First, the good news: The Indulge’s keys are large, and they offer decent tactile feedback and a dedicated number row. Metro PCS pre-loads the Samsung Galaxy Indulge with a ton of branded apps. MetroWEB is the standard Android browser branded by Metro PCS. Metro411 is a local business search app, Metro BACKUP stores contacts for $1 a month, and MetroPCS Easy WiFi displays nearby public wireless hotspots. The @Metro App Store contains a list of Metro PCS-specific apps, such as Boingo Mobile Wi-Fi for accessing Boingo public networks, Cellufun Social for social gaming, and Flirtomatic and MocoSpace for mobile dating.

[+]d'ZheNwaY's Blog[+]: How Bug Bounties Are Like Rat Farming

Post under Anvir/Virus, Apa Saja, Attack, google, Info, Mozilla, Security, vulnerability, Worm

id='post-body-893385384109287628'>
SAN FRANCISCO--It's become fashionable of late to have people from outside the industry give keynotes at security conferences as a way of providing a fresh perspective or unique insight into what security means. Often, that fresh perspective turns out to be some variation of the "I don't know security, so let me tell you how it doesn't relate to my field" speech. Stephen Dubner fixed that.

The co-author of the ridiculously popular Freakonomics books, Dubner is a former New York Times writer and would seem an incongruous choice to kick off the talks at a security conference. But it turns out that he knows more about security than one would think. Maybe even more than he might think. His books are filled with stories meant to show the uninitiated how deeply economics and its offshoots affect our daily lives.

Much the same could be said of security and its numerous sub-disciplines. As recently as three or four years ago, many normal Internt users probably didn't give much thought, if any, to the security of their PCs. If they did think about it, they likely thought in terms of annoying viruses and worms, or maybe identity theft. But the events of the last few years have shown that no one can afford to ignore the reality of the security situation.

In his keynote speech at the United Security Summit here, Dubner said that he had great respect for the job that security professionals do, fighting the good fight against attackers and the occasional nation-state. But his most insightful comments had to do with rat farming.

What is rat farming, you ask. It turns out it's essentially a slightly more disgusting version of bug hunting. Dubner said that he was in Johannesburg, South Africa, recently, and the city was having a serious problem with rats. Officials had tried a number of remedies with no real success, and so they eventually hit upon the idea of offering a small monetary reward for every dead rat turned in. The program was a huge hit, and dead rats started flowing in.

But the idea actually created an entirely new industry: rat farming. Once people discovered that there was money to be made by turning in dead rats, they started breeding the vermin strictly for the purpose of killing them and collecting the cash. Effective, but gross.

But it has a clear analog in the bug-bounty programs that software companies such as Mozilla, Google, Barracuda and others have established in recent years. Those programs offer researchers various cash rewards for reporting vulnerabilities to the companies, and they've been quite successful in drawing submissions from a wide range of people.

But are those bugs being bred in the lab by researchers just to be led to the slaughter for a nice payday? Yes, yes they are. And that's a good thing.

[+]d'ZheNwaY's Blog[+]: NetworkMiner v1.1 Released – Windows ...

Post under Apa Saja, Attack, Hacking, Info, Networking, Security, sniffer, Software, vulnerability, Windows

id='post-body-7419912513689609071'>

NetworkMiner

NetworkMiner is a Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT) for Windows. NetworkMiner can be used as a passive network sniffer/packet capturing tool in order to detect operating systems, sessions, hostnames, open ports etc.

without putting any traffic on the network. NetworkMiner can also parse PCAP files for off-line analysis and to regenerate/reassemble transmitted files and certificates from PCAP files.
NetworkMiner collects data (such as forensic evidence) about hosts on the network rather than to collect data regarding the traffic on the network. The main user interface view is host centric (information grouped per host) rather than packet centric (information showed as a list of packets/frames).

NetworkMiner has, since the first release in 2007, become popular tool among incident response teams as well as law enforcement. NetworkMiner is today used by companies and organizations all over the world.

NetworkMiner can extract files and certificates transferred over the network by parsing a PCAP file or by sniffing traffic directly from the network. This functionality can be used to extract and save media files (such as audio or video files) which are streamed across a network from websites such as YouTube. Supported protocols for file extraction are FTP, TFTP, HTTP and SMB.

User credentials (usernames and passwords) for supported protocols are extracted by NetworkMiner and displayed under the "Credentials" tab. The credentials tab sometimes also show information that can be used to identify a particular person, such as user accounts for popular online services like Gmail or Facebook.

Another very useful feature is that the user can search sniffed or stored data for keywords.

NetworkMiner allows the user to insert arbitrary string or byte-patterns that shall be searched for with the keyword search functionality.

NetworkMiner Professional comes installed on a specially designed USB flash drive. You can run NetworkMiner directly from the USB flash drive since NetworkMiner is a portable application that doesn't require any istallation. We at Netresec do, however, recommend that you copy NetworkMiner to the local hard drive of your computer in order to achieve maximum performance.
