Unite Windows and Linux With a Single Mouse Click!

2007-12-23T07:44:00.000-08:00

Step 1: Install necessary software:

· VirtualBox

Here's how to install VirtualBox on Ubuntu OS:

1. Click the above link and download VirtualBox for your architecture (i386 or amd64). Please notice that on the download page for VirtualBox, you will find packages for many other Linux distributions, in case you don't use Ubuntu.

2. Good, now that the download is finished, double click the .deb file and install the software.

3. You must execute the following command in a terminal window, in order to use VirtualBox:

sudo adduser yourusername vboxusers

4. Log out of your current session and the log back in.

That's it!

Step 2: Prepare VirtualBox to run Windows

The VirtualBox application will be installed in the System Tools category, so open it from Applications -> System Tools -> Innotek VirtualBox if you are a GNOME user, or from KMenu -> System -> More applications -> Innotek VirtualBox if you are a KDE user.

Create the virtual machine

Now, you need to:

1. Click the "New" button to create a new virtual machine.
2. Select "Windows XP" as the OS Type and write a name for your virtual machine.
3. Click Next and drag the memory slider to 256 MB. If you have more than 1GB RAM, you can rise the slider to 512 MB.
4. Click Next and hit the 'New' button to create a new hard drive:

4a. Click Next
4b. Select the 'Fixed-size image' option and click Next
4c. Decrease the initial value to 6 GB by dragging the slider in this screen. If you have a bigger hard drive (250 GB or 500 GB) then you can leave the slider to 10 GB (default option). Click Next.
4d. Click Finish.

5. You can see now the newly created hard drive. Just click Next and then Finish.

The virtual machine is now created and all you have to do is to make some basic settings to it before you start installing Windows.

Configure the virtual machine

Hit the General link and be sure that you setup the virtual machine exactly like I did:

1. On the 'General' section drag the "Video Memory Size" slider to 64.
2. On the 'CD/DVD-ROM' section check the "Mount CD/DVD Drive".
3. On the 'Audio' section check the "Enable Audio" box and then select 'OSS Audio Driver' from the drop-down box.
4. On the 'Remote Display' section check the "Enable VRDP Server" box.

That's all! Now insert the Windows XP CD in your optical drive and power on the virtual machine. The CD will be detected and the Windows installation will start. I guess I don't have to explain you how to install Windows.

Step 3: Configure the virtual Windows

When the Windows installation is finished and you are able to see the desktop, go to Devices -> Install Guest Additions (in the VirtualBox window) and wait for an installer window to appear on your desktop. Follow the installation steps and reboot the virtual machine.

Warning: You must have a working Internet connection before you install these Guest Additions!

Unite Windows and Ubuntu into a single desktop

This is the final step and the moment everyone has been waiting for! All you have to do now is to deactivate your desktop effects (if you have) and go to Machine - Seamless Mode (in the VirtualBox window) and unite Windows with Ubuntu (or any distro you may have) into a single desktop.

Tip: The Windows taskbar will appear over your Linux one. Therefore, you must right click on it and unlock it, so you can move it to the upper part of the desktop.

Below you can see some nice screenshots of my Windows/Ubuntu desktop, where I run Internet Explorer 7, Notepad, and any other Windows application that I found useful. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: Remember that every time you restart your computer, the virtual machine that runs in background will close, so you'll have to open VirtualBox when you enter your Linux session and start the Windows virtual machine. The best part is that it will open automatically in seamless mode!

A.R.Murugadoss & Aamir Khan break Indian record

2007-12-22T10:44:00.000-08:00

A.R.Murugadoss and Aamir Khan have managed to pull off a national level record for the highest distribution rights paid for a single movie yet! Yes, you heard it right: their Hindi Ghajini has garnered a whooping 90 crores in distribution price for its producers Madhu Verma and Allu Arivind.

The Indian Film Company (IFC) has paid 53 crores to the producers of the movie for the domestic distribution rights. IFC had earlier distributed Jab We Met and Welcome, both of which have been profitable ventures. Overseas, satellite, online and home video rights collected another 40 crores.

This is quite a remarkable achievement considering the fact that not a single official still has been released about the movie yet.

The movie is obviously heavy weight with Aamir fresh off his Taare Zameen Par success, A.R.Rahman as the music director (the inside story is that the director has composed some mind blowing music for the movie), Ravi K Chandran in charge of camera, and Murugadoss, one of the most commercially successful directors of the south at the helm. Asin plays the lead lady of Aamir, supported by Jiah Khan

Ghajini has managed to break the record set by Om Shanthi Om, which had collected 73 crores for its distribution rights.

Now for the really interesting side of all this: Aamir is not just looking to take away Shahrukh's record on the finance-side, but also on the physical side. He is gearing up to flaunt a six pack ala Shahrukh Khan. The actor is on a strict exercise regimen, building up muscles and pumping some iron.

Protect yourself against keyloggers

2007-12-22T07:39:00.000-08:00

Besides protecting your System additional measures that can be taken
are:
Monitoring what programs are running on your computer
Monitor your network whenever an application attempts to make a
network connection.
Use an automatic form filler program that prevent keylogging since
they're not using the keyboard.

There are commercially available anti-keyloggers, such as
PrivacyKeyboard:
http://www.anti-keylogger.com.
It uses the methods of heuristic analysis and has no signature base.
PrivacyKeyboard's features:
* No signature base;
* Protection against windows text capturing;
* Protection against keystroke logging;
* Protection against clipboard capturing;
* Protection against active window screenshoting;
* Protection against desktop screenshoting;
* Protection against attacks of spy programs;
* Protection against hardware keyloggers;
* Full UNICODE support;
* The ability to work at the background, transparently for the
user
* The ability to disable keyloggers instantly

Problem is you'll have to part with $89.95 ...

but if you're looking for a free alternative try:
- Spybot Search & Destroy, a freeware tool that does a pretty decent
job at detecting all kinds of spyware.
Latest update protects against the following Keyloggers:
+ Perfect Keylogger
+ Ardamax
+ Elite Keylogger

against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by
spyware: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx

The Sysinternals web site hosts several utilities to help you manage,
troubleshoot and diagnose Windows systems and applications.
Utilities for looking under the hood to see what processes are doing
and the resources they are consuming:

In this article:
http://www.lazybit.com/index.php/a/2...ger_protection
Alex provides some free and valuable advice about keylogging
protection such as using the on-screen keyboard available in W2000 and
XP that can be launched by executing "osk" or the technique of mouse
highlighting and overwriting.

Get an anonymous call using Google search

2007-12-20T09:37:00.000-08:00

Of all the craziest things Google offers,I believe this is the worst(or funniest).I was browsing for some viruses to download(laughs maliciously) and found this crazy thing in Google.

1.Search for "Virus Download" or "movie Download" (or just search for anything)without the quotes in Google.

2.On the Right Hand side,you'll see some searches with a Telephone icon in green colour.CLick on any one of the icons,which represents a particular company.

3.A text box appears where you can enter a mobile number.Enter one(with the international code-its +91 for India).

4.The company in question calls that number and supposedly talks about the company's business(puts mokkai,simply).Actually this didn't happen to me whenI tried it out on my mobile.I got a call from a weird number and it got cut.

Worth a laugh,huh guys?

PS.An apology for all the numbers I tested it on ;)

The Dark Side of pLasma

2007-12-20T09:14:00.000-08:00

Welcome,welcome and welcome to pLasma's pLayground-the place where you can find anything related to hackin' and crackin'.I thought I'd share my views and little bit of knowledge on hacking through this blog.So,who's gonna stop me? :)
You'll find all kinds of software that would make your antivirus scream,your firewall beg for mercy and your OS crash and bow down to death.Lo,you have been warned.
I'll be providing some tips and tricks that make you look like a hacker,though it wouldn't take you near to the true essence of the word.And oh,I'll be linking up some software as well,that would allow you to remotely control a system without acquiring proper acquiescence(in plain bullshit-hacking it and screwing it).Stay tuned!

And oh,I almost forgot another formality.
