Sudo Comic

This is a little comic about the "sudo" command in ubuntu linux

Firesheep

Firesheep is a really cool extension that scans the wireless network you are on and gets cookies. and from those cookies it enables you to access the unencrypted parts of the website (from what I've read the only parts that usually are encrypted are the username/email and password). To install it all you have to do is download the file and open it in firefox and then download it as you would any other extension.

NOTE: I DO NOT CONDONE OR ENCOURAGE USING THIS TO HACK PEOPLES ACCOUNTS SUCH AS FACEBOOK OR TWITTER.

Update: this only works on unencrypted networks not on networks with WEP, WPA, or WPA2.

Handbrake

Handbrake is a video encoding tool that can convert most any format into a .mp4 file. mosytly i've tried it with .vob files though because of my previous article on DVD decrypting.

Note: when you first look at it it seems pretty complex but don't worry it's not that bad. anyone who has questions email me at NeillYoung77@gmail.com

Android On Your PC

Here's A Link


Nexus One owners are reporting early Froyo updates already, but chances are, you don't own a Nexus One. Any mobile OS with apps has an SDK—a developer kit—which gives devs the tools needed to create and test apps for the platform. And any good SDK comes with an emulator for the OS itself, so devs can test apps without actually installing them on a phone. Apple's got one, but it only works on Macs. Microsoft's got one, but it only works on PCs. Google's Android emulator, on the other hand, works on any platform, and it's totally free. Here's how to load up Android Froyo on your desktop in just a few minutes.
