Google is widely (and rightly) recognised as the mother of all search engines. But, if you need to drill down your searches by more specific details, do you trust Google to give you what you need every single time? Here’s a collection of 3o vertical search engines which you should have up your sleeve when you need some specialist power. Flights / Travel 1.  SkyScanner.net  – The leading flights search engine, providing information about all carriers to help you find the best deal. 2.  Momondo.com  – Very similar to SkyScanner and with an added ‘current searches’ widget to see what flights other people are searching for.

Demystifying Backups Backups are a crucial part of our digital lives, yet they don't always get the love they deserve. Keeping backups is sometimes confusing, thanks partly to the jargon — should I have "differential" backups or is a "full system image" a better way? To address questions like these, this article sheds light on all aspects of backups, from its basic definition, to information that can help you perform the kind of backups you need. Backing up data is the process of making a copy (or more) of our data files—documents, spreadsheets, presentations, e-books, movies, music, browser bookmarks, settings, installed programs—almost everything. Fundamentally, the questions are: What to backup? When to backup? Where to backup? What type of backups to perform? Do you need more than one backup? Types of backups The simplest way to back anything up is to just dump the files onto a CD, DVD or USB drive. Such kinds of backups usually lead to disorganis...

Website Backup with Rsyn If you pay for web hosting in order to run any kind of web-based application—from your WordPress blog to a nameplate site to a file-sharing service to a social media data archive—you need to back up your web server's data the same way you back up your computer's data. On database-driven web sites, there are two kinds of data you want to preserve and restore in case of disaster: the files that make up your site (the PHP/Perl/Python, JavaScript, CSS files, etc), and the contents of your database. Further, any good backup system should make both a local copy and a remote copy of the backed-up data. I run several database-driven sites and applications, including this blog, so my backup system has to be solid. Here's how I have it set up. This method assumes a few things: You're running a LAMP-based web site (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Perl/Python). You have command line access to your web server via SSH. You know how to make ne...

Test Webpages Using Compat Inspector Website managers who would like to learn whether the latest changes in the Internet Explorer platform also affect their site, can now use the Compat Inspector for IE10 to take a look into the matter.  Compat Inspector can be easily run on a page that has problems, regardless of whether developers are getting ready for the release of the upcoming Internet Explorer 10 or they are simply upgrading to IE9. If there are issues, the Compat Inspector will deliver messages explaining them and will also provide details on what needs to be done to resolve these problems. Released as a JavaScript-based testing tool meant to analyze the website while it runs, the Compat Inspector will provide reports on patterns of interaction that might cause issues in recent modules. “This allows you to identify problems quickly without memorizing a bunch of documentation or searching through the entirety of your site's code,” Tony Ross, program manager, In...

The move to the new rapid release cycle has definitely spurred new blood into Firefox development. Firefox 10 is around the corner, even as Firefox 4 landed less than a year ago. In that time, the browser has evolved, it's faster, less memory hungry and boasts plenty of new features as well as better support for new web standards. But there's one department where Firefox may still be a little behind, security. Firefox is not an unsecure browser, compared the other popular browsers, but it is lacking some big features, especially those that Google Chrome , which has become the gold-standard, boasts, notably sandboxing and JIT hardening. According a recent interview though, Mozilla is working on just those very features, though work is more advanced in some aspects than in others. A recent report, created by an independent company but paid for by Google, found Firefox to be lacking in a couple of areas in particular. One of them is Just-in-Time compiling hardening, ...

Hey! Im back with the second part of the post. At the end of the last post, we successfully re-routed all the traffic from the victim’s computer to the router through our computer.Next, we have to capture their facebook cookies through wireshark. So How do you go about doing that? It’s very simple actually. Open up wireshark Goto capture – > Interfaces in the top menu and select your interface. It’s usually the one which has an IP address and  a certain number of packets flowing through it. Next goto capture and click on start.. It should look something like this. This window has all the packets sent from the victim’s/victims’ computer to the router and all the packets sent from the router to the victim. Next in the filter type  “http.cookie contains datr”.  You ask why? Because, when a user logs in to facebook, he is given some cookies which is unique to him. If we replace our cookies with the victim’s cookies, we can login to his account as...
