Know on which platform a server Is running i.e. linux/Windows/Mac ?

To know whether a server is running on Linux/Windows/Mac platform, we have to just ping the website. If,
TTL<64--> Server Running on Linux Platform.
128>TTL>64--> Server Running on Windows Platform.
TTL>128--> Server Running on Mac Platform.

TTL(Time To Live): It is the expiration value of DNS data. It is specified in seconds.

e.g. If we want to know on which platform the GOOGLE web server is Running, we just have to:

Go to START-->RUN-->CMD-->Type ping www.google.com

As the TTL<64, the GOOGLE web server is running on Linux Platform.

In this way we can check every website and know on which Platform these web servers are Running.

Play the g00d old Dos Games in Windows 7.

The New Tech. has certainly changed the whole gaming experience compared to what we used to have in the 90's. The modern day games are more than just games, they are just like the other things such as sleeping,eating and now gaming. But we can't forget the good old days when we used to fight with our friends, siblings, parents just to play once more. Prince,dave,skyroads,,man those were awesome.

Well Windows 7 doesn't support the DOS games and literally we can't play, as the full screen mode is not supported. But we can play the DOS games by using a 3rd party Software.
Let's play.
Download this software: DOSBOX. It is an x86 emulator.
Now Download your favorite DOS games from the link below.
www.dosgamesarchive.com

In this context I will show you How to play Prince? (Coz its my favorite. :D)

• Create a New Folder in C: say it as OldGames.
• Extract the .zip DOS game files to the folder OldGames.
• Run DOSBOX.
• Type MOUNT C C:\OldGames
• Type C: and then go to the folder.
• Start the Game by typing prince.exe or whatever the file is.

Press ALT+ENTER to toggle Full Screen.

Take a look at the screenshots below:

Happy GAMING. *_*

Installing Various Operating System and Kits in Pen-Drive.

Don't think any thing, Just go the link below and download the Universal USB Installer Software.

Universal USB Installer

Note: Do check this Link from time to time because it gets updated as soon as any new Operating System or Kits are launched.

Now as half the work is done, its time to get ready with your respective ISO and Pen-Drive.
Just follow the On-screen Instructions and you will do just fine. But be careful while selecting the Pen-Drive.

In this context I will show How to install Backtrack 4r2 in USB. Its OK, ya go on laughing I don't have the latest version of Backtrack, I will download later.

Remember that the name of the .iso file should be exact as it is shown, if not then change the name to same else it will not detect the .iso file.

Now just Boot your System via Pen-Drive.

Turn your dumb Scroll Lock to a Network Indicator.

As we know most of the keyboard Num Lock and Scroll Lock are used once in a blue moon, so why not use the LED's of num and scroll lock as Network Indicators as Incoming and Outgoing Packets.
There is a cool Tool called Network-Lights. Download from the link below:

Network-Lights

Just extract and run the utility and it will adjust itself in the System Tray.

If you want to change the Settings then you can all do it in Settings.

I will certainly not recommend this to the laptop users as the Num lock is mostly embedded with the letters, so it becomes difficult to type but you can give it a try once.

All about Internet Relay Chat(IRC)

IRC basically is a group chat or we can say more like a conference.It has many facilities like we can also have personal chats and send files option.

Installing an IRC client.

There are many IRC clients to opt for like chatzilla,mirc and many more.Here I am using chatzilla as IRC client and will show how to install and use it.

Note:Chatzilla is just an Add-on,it mainly works on web browsers.I am using mozilla firefox here as web browser.For those who use chrome chatzilla Add-on is also available.

Step 1: Download Chatzilla(345 KB Only)- A Firefox Add-On from The Link Below:
Chatzilla

Step 2: Now Open Chatzilla.If ur using latest Version of Mozilla then Go to Options->Check Mark On Menubar.

Step 3: Go to Tools->Chatzilla
Step4: Give any Unique Nickname.

So this is it for now,we will come to chatzilla again after going through some basic IRC commands.

Basic IRC Commands

These are some basic IRC commands you should know to keep you from wondering while chatting with other users in IRC channels.

• /HELP [optional command name] : This command is used to know how a particular command works. e.g. /help whois and these information will be displayed.
  Displays information about the user , including 'real name', server connected to, idle time, and signon time. Note that some servers will lie about the idle time. The correct idle time can usually be obtained by using |wii| instead of |whois|.If you don't know any particular command or forgot just type the initial letter. e.g /help w and you will see all the commands which starts with 'w'
• /SERVER new-server-hostname : It is used to join a particular server. e.g /server irc.lightirc.com and these will be displayed indicating that you are connected successfully to that particular server.
  *** Please wait while we scan your connection for open proxies...
  === *** Looking up your hostname...
  === *** Checking ident...
  === *** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
  === *** No ident response; username prefixed with ~
  === Welcome to the GeekShed IRC Network gamer!~chatzilla@149.204.223.19
• /NICK new-nickname :It is used to change your nickname in instant. e.g /nick acegamer YOU are now known as acegamer.
• /LIST : Lists IRC channels, number of users, and topic for each. This is how you find places to go meet people and chat. e.g /list This server has 1238 channels. Listing them all will probably take a long time, and may lead to ChatZilla becoming unresponsive or being disconnected by the server.[List Channels]. This happens because there are lots of channels,i suggest just note some of the channels which you find useful on this server.
• /NAMES #channel-name : It lists all the nicks who are online in that particular channel. e.g /names #friendz it didn't worked for me though,try it and let me know if you come up with anything.
• /WHOIS nickname : It displays the complete info of the nick. e.g /whois acegamer === acegamer <~chatzilla@E7FE9BE1.770A8BA.C8CB93DB.IP> "Mohan- Assistant System Engineer"
  === acegamer is connecting from *@149.203.24.29 49.203.24.29
  === acegamer: member of #friendz
  === acegamer: attached to Boomer.GeekShed.net "Sponsored by Phil"
  === acegamer: idle for 27 seconds (on since 23 October 2011 12:21:32)
  --- End of WHOIS information for acegamer.
• /AWAY away-message-here : It means that you are away for some work and presently not here right now. e.g /away I'm not here right now.You are now marked as away (I'm not here right now.). Click the nickname button or use the |/back| command to return from being away.
• /QUIT [optional farewell message] : Quits the channel,server and closes the chatzilla client. e.g /quit byee catch you guys later. The message is displayed to your friends.

Chatting on IRC

As we have an overall idea of all the basic commands,now its time to join a channel and start chatting.
I have created my own channel #friendz on the server irc.lightirc.com and you all may join.

• Connecting to the server: /server irc.lightirc.com
• Joining the channel : /join #friendz
• Now you can see all the users are currently online and you will also see the operators and owner of the channel in different colour dots.Start chatting by typing.

Some commands and tips to improve your chatting in IRC channels

• /is : This is used to refer you as a 3rd person. e.g /me is listening to The Rembrandts-I will be there for you. acegamer is listening to The Rembrandts-I will be there for you.
• If you want to mention a particular person then just type the initials then press TAB. e.g Ja press TAB JamesBond:
• /leave : It is used to leave a particular channel e.g /leave #friendz

So these are some basic things for you to remember and do have fun in IRC's.
I have not mentioned some other commands like private conversation,operator commands,etc. In my next post i will discuss more about IRC like how to register your nickname,create a channel,add a bot and much more.

These are some of the channels worth joining:
server: irc.freenode.net
channel: #backtrack-linux

server: irc.hak5.org
channel: #hak5
and you may also join my channel:
server: irc.lightirc.com
channel: #friendz

WARNING:Though IRC is informative and fun,but please be careful and respect others in the channels or else you will be kicked or banned from that server.Dont' chat irrelevant topics. e.g on that backtrack-linux channel is only meant for backtrack related stuffs. Please go through all the server rules before joining to a particular channel.

Good Luck And Have Fun.

Experience the features of Windows 8 by installing it in Virtual Machine.

Let me tell you first,you should know that the user experience of windows 8 is gonna be completely different from the other previous version of windows.
Just after Microsoft launched Vista Edition, most users were completely burned out because despite of the looks and features it was never better than the good old XP and pretty much the same case in case of windows 7 too.So if that makes you already hate windows 8, i suggest you to try it,learn it,figure it out and then judge it because when it comes to technology the last thing you wanna do is to become resistant to the changes or else you will be left behind before experiencing any.

So according to my suggestion before you try any new softwares,first install it in a Virtual Machine so that it doesn't screw up your system.

A Virtual Machine is a software platform which supports the execution of a complete Operating system.

So lets get started.

• In the Name Section Type win8 and in the OS type choose Windows 7 or Windows 7(64-bit) depending upon your computer,and click next.
• Now set the memory to at least 2GB or 2048 MB if you can,and click on next.
• Create a new hard disk and click on next
• In the hard disk storage type choose Fixed-size storage and then next
• Give the location of your virtual hard disk and make sure the size of the virtual hard disk must be of 20GB and then click next and finish

wait for some time for the hard drive to get formatted.

Step 3:Installing Windows 8 in the virtual machine

• Select the virtual machine win8 and click on settings.
• Now Click on Storage and then in the Storage type under IDE Controller,click on the CD and change its location to the windows 8 iso image that you have just downloaded.Click OK.
