Tips Menyembunyikan Drive di Windows Explorer

Tips ini menggunakan rekayasa Registry pada windows, harap diingat untuk membackup registry Anda terlebih dahulu sebelum menerapkan tips ini.

Drive yang ada di Windows Explorer maksudnya adalah Drive C, D, E yang merupakan urutan tertinggi dalam hierarki file dan folder. Menyembunyikan Drive tersebut sangat baik dalam hal keamanan, agar orang yang memakai komputer kita tidak tahu bahwa ada Drive yang tersembunyi (kadang ada juga orang yang suka "explore" harddisk kita). Tentunya drive yang disembunyikan berisi file dan folder yang dianggap penting dan rahasia. Menyembunyikan Drive tidak berarti bahwa Drive tersebut dihilangkan, namun tetap dapat diakses dengan cara tertentu.

Begini caranya, ikuti langkah dibawah ini:

1. Buka Registry Editor (Regedit.exe), biasanya dengan membuka Run di Start Menu
2. Buka HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

3. Klik kanan key Servers dan pilih New | DWORD value.
4. isi dengan value NoDrives.
5. Enter dua kali untuk membuka kotak dialog Edit DWORD Value .

6. Tulis angka yang mewakili huruf Drive yang akan disembunyikan, angka tersebut dapat dilihat di bawah ini:

A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32
7. Tutup Registry Editor

8. Restart atau log off komputer anda.

Catatan:

- Untuk menyembunyikan beberapa Drive tinggal menjumlahkan angkanya saja, contoh: jika drive A dan B disembunyikan maka angka yang harus diisi adalah 3.

- Nilai huruf berikutnya adalah kelipatannya (contoh F: 32 maka G: 64).

- Untuk membuka drive yang disembunyikan, cara yang paling mudah adalah dengan mengetikan huruf drive yang dimaksud di Address Bar Explorer lalu tekan enter.

Routix NetCom

Routix NetCom introduces easy-to-use rules-based packets-level filtering and managment software and improved remote management features and remote scripting. NetCom is an extensible firewall, traffic controller and traffic statistics software for the Microsoft Windows™ NT, XP, 2000 and 2003 operating system. NetCom provides firewall that helps protect network resources from viruses and hackers. NetCom provides a unified management console that simplifies security and access management.

Each rule can be configured with many conditions: connections count, packets direction, NICs, protocols, MAC-addresses, IP-addresses, TCP and UDP ports, time and other conditions.
Each rule can be configured with many actions: packets can be allowed, dropped or sended to the next rule in list. URL filtering supported. Rule can replace MAC and IP addresses, TCP and UDP ports (for example packets can be redirected to the transparent proxy, like SquidNT). Rule can make backward replacements automatically (via NAT-table). Rule can bridge packets between two or more NICs. Rule can redirect packets from one to other NIC. Rule can limit incoming and outgoing bandwidth or prioriterize defined traffic. Rule can execute scripts or external executables on misc events. Each rule has counters of incoming and outgoing traffic. These counters can be resetted automatically with any specified interval. Also these counters can be used as conditions (for example you can block any or specified traffic if counter > N).

XSS Attacks, Cross Site Scripting Exploits and Defense

Cross Site Scripting Attacks starts by defining the terms and laying out the ground work. It assumes that the reader is familiar with basic web programming (HTML) and JavaScript. First it discusses the concepts, methodology, and technology that makes XSS a valid concern. It then moves into the various types of XSS attacks, how they are implemented, used, and abused. After XSS is thoroughly explored, the next part provides examples of XSS malware and demonstrates real cases where XSS is a dangerous risk that exposes internet users to remote access, sensitive data theft, and monetary losses. Finally, the book closes by examining the ways developers can avoid XSS vulnerabilities in their web applications, and how users can avoid becoming a victim. The audience is web developers, security practitioners, and managers.

*XSS Vulnerabilities exist in 8 out of 10 Web sites
*The authors of this book are the undisputed industry leading authorities

How to Burn a DVD Video Using Windows Vista DVD Maker

In this tutorial I will show you how to burn a Video DVD using only the functionality offered by the new Windows Vista operating system. Before we begin, I want to make some observations: making a Video DVD is not a difficult task and Windows Vista succeeded in offering a pretty good solution. However, there are many other software suites that offer plenty of features and make this job easier.

Nero and Roxio are two of the most popular solutions for burning CD's and DVD's. If you need more than just basic CD and DVD burning or you just want the “best there is”, then consider buying additional software like Nero or Roxio.

If you don't want to pay more money on software or you don't need more than just basic CD and DVD burning, then Windows Vista offers the perfect solution for you.

Now... let's show you how to burn Video DVD's in Windows Vista:

1. Click the "Start" button and select "Windows DVD Maker" (or go to Start -> All Programs -> Windows DVD Maker).

2. Click the "Add items" button from the top menu and browse to the folder were the movies you want to burn are located. By default, they should be found in the "Videos" folder.

3. Select the movie(s) you want to burn and type the "Disc title". Also, you may select the order in which the movies will be saved on DVD. To do that, select a movie and press the "Up" or "Down" button to change its order.

4. If you want to, you can click the "Options" button and set things like the burning speed, the aspect ratio, the video format or you can choose if the DVD will have a menu or not.

5. After you finished making the settings you want, click the "OK" button and then "Next".

6. At this step you can create a custom DVD menu or you can select a predefined one. To select a predefined menu, scroll the "Menu Styles" list and select the one you like most. You can customize it by pressing the "Customize Menu" button and making the settings you want. Also, you can change the menu text by clicking the "Menu text" button and typing the text you want for each button.

7. When you have finished making all the customizations, click the "Burn" button.

First, Windows DVD Maker will encode the movie in the appropriate format and then it will burn it on DVD. Usually, the encoding process takes much more time than the burning so you have to patient.
The movie that I burned on this Video DVD had 107 minutes and 21.6 GB. The time that passed since I hit the burn button and until the DVD was finished: 2 hours and 3 minutes.

How to Enable AMD Cool'n'Quiet Feature in Windows Vista

AMD not provided AMD Processors Driver for Vista that include Cool'n'Quiet driver as usual in their website. However, Windows Vista has advanced power management that support Cool'n'Quiet technology.

To enable these features you must create or select an appropriate power plan. Just follow these steps:

Go to Control Panel and select Power Options.

Click on Change power-saving settings.

Now you have the option to select the power plan you prefer from the default list or create a new one. In order to take advantage of the power management features of your system the Balanced and Power saverplans are good options. If you select High performance, Cool'n'Quiet or SpeedStep will be disabled.

If you are the type that prefers to customize his operating system to the very last detail, you could create your own power plan. To do that, click on the Create a power plan button.

Choose a standard plan as a base for the one you create and then type a name for it. Click Next.

First select when to turn off the display and when to put the computer to sleep. After that, click on the Create button.

After the plan is created you will be redirected to the Select a power plan window. Under the name of your newly created plan you will see a Change plan settingslink. Click on it and then click on Change advanced power settings. Then, the Advanced settings window will open.

In this window you have the possibility to make advanced changes to your power plan. To take advantage of the power saving features offered by your processor, go to Processor power management. Here you can set the minimum and maximum states of your processor. Depending on the system load, your processor frequency and voltage will fluctuate according to these settings.

How to Enable AMD Cool'n'Quiet Feature in Windows XP

Cool'n'Quiet is a CPU speed throttling and power saving technology introduced by AMD with their Athlon 64 processor line. It works by reducing the processor's clock rate and voltage when the processor is idle. The aim of this technology is to reduce overall power consumption and lower heat generation, allowing for slower (thus quieter) cooling fan operation. The objectives of cooler and quieter result in the name Cool'n'Quiet. The technology is similar to Intel's SpeedStep and AMD's own PowerNow!, which were developed with the aim of increasing laptop battery life by reducing power consumption.

Due to their different usage; Cool'n'Quiet refers to desktop and server chips, while PowerNow! is used for mobile chips — the technologies are similar, but not exactly equivalent. This technology was also introduced on "e-stepping" Opterons, however it is called Optimized Power Management, which is essentially a re-tooled Cool'n'Quiet scheme designed to work with registered RAM.

For this, you must have one of these AMD processors below:

Processors supporting Cool'n'Quiet
* Athlon 64 & X2 - all models
* Athlon 64 FX - FX-53 (Socket 939 only) and higher
* Sempron - Socket 754: 3000+ and higher; Socket AM2: 3200+ and higher
* Opteron - E-stepping and higher, branded as Optimized Power Management
* Phenom - all versions support Cool'n'Quiet 2.0
And the most important is you have a mainboard with Bios that support Cool'n'Quiet Feature.

Firstly, you have to download and install latest AMD Processor Driver and AMD Dual-Core Optimizer.
Click this to download AMD Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP
Click this to download AMD Dual-Core Optimizer
The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. It can make the system more faster by patching windows to run in multi-core processors with stable.

To enable the Cool ‘n’ Quiet feature on a Windows XP system, you have to change the power scheme. Open the ‘Power Options’ from the Control Panel. Choose the power scheme ‘Minimal Power Management’ and click ‘OK’ to enable Cool ‘n’ Quiet.

To check Cool ‘n’ Quiet functionality, a third party application that measures the current processor clock speed of the computer, such as WCPUCLK or CPUZ, can be used. Under Windows XP only, a built-in indicator of current processor frequency is included.

Checking for Cool ‘n’ Quiet functionality:
1. With no programs running with Windows at idle, start CPUZ or similar program.
2. If the displayed clock frequency is approximately 800 or 1000 MHz, Cool ‘n’ Quiet is enabled and functioning correctly.

Checking for Cool ‘n’ Quiet functionality (Windows XP only):
1. Click on Start, and open up the Control Panel. Click on Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
2. Under General, if the displayed clock frequency is approximately 800 MHz, Cool ‘n’ Quiet is enabled and functioning correctly.

How to Enable/Disable Task Manager in Windows XP Pro/Home

There is a registry hack to enable or disable Windows NT TaskManager. The same registry hack applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1 = enable this key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0 = disable this key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

As part of the enhanced management available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, rather than risking a registry change, as an administrator you can enable or disable Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro's TaskManager using Group Policy Editor. This can be applied to the local policy. Note: if you are trying to override your organizations group policy, you can't. As soon as you re-authenticate to the domain, the domain or OU Group Policy will rewrite the registry setting. But if the TaskManager was accidently disabled or you need to control this item for a set of standalone boxes this is for you:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
- In the Group Policy settings window:
   * Select User Configuration
   * Select Administrative Templates
   * Select System
   * Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
   * Select Remove Task Manager
   * Double-click the Remove Task Manager option
And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

Got XP Home - use the registry edit.

What is Wi-Fi - Overview

"Wi-Fi" is a play on the old audio term "Hi-Fi" (high fidelity). The term also has been trademarked by the Wi-Fi Alliance (formerly the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance). Today, Wi-Fi is most commonly used to describe a wireless local area network based on the IEEE 802.11 series of standards, which is a set of wireless technical specifications issued by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE is an international professional organization for electrical and electronics engineers, with formal links with the International Organization for Standardization (more commonly known as the "ISO").

The IEEE 802.11 standards specify an "over-the-air" interface consisting of radio frequency (RF) technology to transmit and receive data between a wireless client and a base station or access point (an "infrastructure" configuration), as well as among two or more wireless clients that happen to be within communications range of each other (an "ad hoc" configuration).

The IEEE 802.11 standards resolve compatibility issues between manufacturers of wireless networking equipment operating in specific frequency bands within the unlicensed spectra of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. (Unlicensed spectrum refers to airwaves that haven't been allocated to an exclusive user.) This wireless, flexible data communications system can be implemented either as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired local area network (LAN). As such, it is a wireless networking standard that's accepted worldwide and, consequently, has rapidly gained acceptance as an alternative to conventional wireline technologies.

The term "Wi-Fi" began life a few years ago as the IEEE 802.11 High Rate (HR) Standard, which later became known as the IEEE 802.11b standard. Originally, "Wi-Fi" was used only in place of the 802.11b standard (operating at 2.4 GHz and 11 Mbps), in the same way that the term "Ethernet" is used in place of the wired LAN standard, IEEE 802.3. However, in October 2002, the Wi-Fi Alliance extended the "Wi-Fi" trademark to include both 802.11b and its higher-bandwidth brother, 802.11a (54 Mbps).

In case you're wondering, 802.11g will also fall under the Wi-Fi banner. Furthermore, since in many ways, 802.11g is a higher-bandwidth version of the 802.11b specification, the Wi-Fi Alliance also has stated that when it does certify 802.11g products as interoperable, the organization won't label them "802.11g." Instead, it plans on calling such products "54 Mbps 802.11b," because focus groups of potential customers have shown that users are confused by the alphabet soup nature of the IEEE's designations for the various 802.11 standards.

Note : Specific groups, known as "Task Groups" inside the 802.11 standards body oversee enhancements ranging from bandwidth to specific portions of the 802.11 standard. The appearance of each new "flavor" of the technology results in a new suffix to 802.11, i.e. 802.11a, 802.11b, up to 802.11n. While there is a method for the IEEE standards naming scheme, the alphanumeric nature of these standards can be confusing, which is why the moniker "Wi-Fi" caught on. A complete technical discussion of each individual specification or standard can be found in Chapter 6.
Ultimately, the term "Wi-Fi" will probably end up as a generic description of all 802.11 networks, in much the same way that "Ethernet" is used to describe all IEEE 802.3 networks. Coincidentally, since 802.11 networks are considered wireless extensions of wired Ethernet, they can handle conventional networking protocols such as TCP/IP, AppleTalk and PC file sharing standards.

The opportunity for wireless data communication in the United States and elsewhere is huge. According to the research firm Gartner, Inc., as revealed in its Dataquest Market Analysis Perspective entitled, "Wireless Data in the United States: Pieces of the Puzzle are Missing, but a Picture is Taking Shape," more than 25 million of the U.S.'s 112.1 million workforce have a mobile job requirement and that number is steadily increasing.

PDF Extensions of PHP - A Simple Example

PHP has several libraries for generating PDF documents. This is shows how to use the popular fpdf library. The FPDF library is a set of PHP code you include in your scripts with the require function, so it doesn't require any server-side configuration or support, meaning you can use it even without support from your host.

The basic concepts of the structure and features of a PDF file should be common to all the pdf libraries, however. This library (FPDF) is available at http://www.fpdf.org.

A PDF document is made up of a number of pages. Each page contains text and/or images. This section shows you how to make a document, create pages in that document, put text onto the pages, and send the pages back to the browser when you're done.

A Simple Example

Let's start with a simple PDF document. Example below simply places "Hello Out There!" on a page and then displays the resulting PDF document.


require("../fpdf/fpdf.php"); // path to fpdf.php

$pdf = new FPDF( );
$pdf->AddPage( );
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello Out There!');
$pdf->Output( );

?>

Initializing the Document

In Example above, we started by making reference to the FPDF library with the require function. Then the code created a new instance of the FPDF object with the 'new' keyword. You will note that all the calls to the new fpdf instance are object-oriented calls to methods in that object. After you have created the new instance of the FPDF object, you will need to add at least one page to the objectso the AddPage method is called. Next, you need to set the font for the output you are about to generate with the SetFont call. Then using the cell method call, you can place the output on your created document. To send all your work to the browser, simply use the Output method.

Outputting Basic Text - Cells
The cell concept in the FPDF Library is that of a rectangular area on the page that you can create and control. This cell can have a height, width, a border, and of course can contain text. The basic syntax for the cell method is as follows:

Cell(float w [, float h [, string txt [, mixed border [, int ln [, string align [, int fill [, mixed link]]]]]]])


The first option is the width, then the height, then the text to be outputted, then border, then new line control, then its alignment, any fill colour for the text, and finally if you want the text to be an HTML link. So, for example, if we want to change our original example to have a border and be center aligned we would change the cell code to the following:

$pdf->Cell(90,10,'Hello Out There!',1,0,'C');

The cell method is used extensively while generating PDF documents with fpdf, so you would be well served if you spent the time needed to learn the ins and outs of this method. Read more...

Change Interface Name
[admin@MikroTik] > interface set 0 name=Public
Set name interface of eth0 to Public
[admin@MikroTik] > interface set 1 name=Local
Set name interface of eth1 to Local
[admin@MikroTik] > interface print
Show all interface name that we’ve just made

Change Default Password
[admin@MikroTik] > password
old password: *****
new password: *****
retype new password: *****

Change the Host Name
[admin@MikroTik] > system identity set name=lif2k3
This will set host name from MikroTik (as default) to lif2k3

IP Address Configuration
Basic command:
ip address add address ={ip address/netmask} interface={interface name}
example :
[admin@lif2k3] > ip address add address=124.81.29 netmask=255.255.255.248 interface=Public
comment=”IP to Internet”
[admin@lif2k3] > ip address add address=192.168.0.30 netmask=255.255.255.224 interface=Local
comment = “IP to LAN”
[admin@lif2k3] > ip address print

Gateway Configuration
Basic command:
ip route add gateway={ip gateway}
example:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip route add gateway=124.81.29.193
[admin@lif2k3] > ip route print
Try ping to gateway ip:
[admin@lif2k3] > ping 124.81.29.193
If resolved, it means connected to gateway

NAT (Network Address Translation) Configuration
Basic command :
ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-inteface={ethernet that
connected directly to internet or public}
Firstly setup masquerading action, so the clients will be connected to internet through the router gateway:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-inteface=Public
[admin@lif2k3] > ip firewall nat print

DNS Configuration
Basic command:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip dns set primary-dns={primary DNS ip} secondary-dns={Secondary DNS ip}
example:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip dns set primary-dns=202.155.0.10 secondary-dns=202.155.0.20
[admin@lif2k3] > ip dns print
Test ping to domain, ex:
[admin@lif2k3] > ping yahoo.com
If the IP resolved, it means successful

Setting Transparent Proxy Server
Set web proxy with these command parameters:

[admin@lif2k3] > ip proxy set enable=yes
port={ number of port that will be used }
maximal-client-connections=1000
maximal-server-connections=1000

[admin@lif2k3] > ip proxy direct add src-address={ network
that connected through NAT} action=allow

[admin@lif2k3] > ip web-proxy set parent-proxy={proxy parent/optional}
hostname={ proxy hostname/optional}
port={port that will be used}
src-address={ parent proxy address/default 0.0.0.0}
transparent-proxy=yes
max-object-size={ maximum cache file size
/default 4096 in Kilobytes}
max-cache-size= { maximum cache storage size on harddisk
/ set to unlimited as recommended }
cache-administrator={ usually administrator email }
enable==yes

Example:
Web proxy setting:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip web-proxy
set enabled=yes
src-address=0.0.0.0
port=8080
hostname=”proxy.routerku.co.id”
transparent-proxy=yes
parent-proxy=0.0.0.0:0
cache-administrator=”support@lif2k3.com”
max-object-size=131072KiB
cache-drive=system
max-cache-size=unlimited
max-ram-cache-size=unlimited

NAT redirect need to be added, that’s REDIRECT rule that used to redirect HTTP traffic through WEB-PROXY

Transparent Proxy NAT configuration
Basic command :
[admin@lif2k3] > ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat
protocol=tcp
dst-port=80
action=redirect
to-ports={ port proxy }

example :
——————————————————————————–
ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=redirect to-ports=8080 comment=”" disabled=yes
ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=3128 action=redirect to-ports=8080 comment=”" disabled=yes
ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=8000 action=redirect to-ports=8080 disabled=yes
————————————————————————–
These command above means that port 80,3128,8000 will be redirect to port 8080 (web-proxy port)

Look the configuration:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip web-proxy print
To show configuration result of web-proxy
[admin@lif2k3] > ip web-proxy monitor
To show and monitor web-proxy status

Bandwidth Management

With PCQ type

Firstly, we have to set rule in MANGLE:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip firewall mangle add chain=forward src-address=192.168.0.0/27 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=users-con
[admin@lif2k3] > ip firewall mangle add connection-mark=users-con action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=users chain=forward

Then we have to make PCQ type rules:
[admin@lif2k3] > queue type add name=pcq-download kind=pcq pcq-classifier=dst-address
[admin@lif2k3] > queue type add name=pcq-upload kind=pcq pcq-classifier=src-address

The queue parents of both interface must be set:
[admin@lif2k3] > queue tree add parent=Local queue=pcq-download packet-mark=users
[admin@lif2k3] > queue tree add parent=Public queue=pcq-upload packet-mark=users

If the bandwidth both the upstream and downstream is 256kbps:
For downstream traffic :
————————————————————————
queue tree add name=Download parent=Local max-limit=256k
queue tree add parent=Download queue=pcq-download packet-mark=users
————————————————————————-
And upstream traffic :
—————————————————————————
[admin@lif2k3] > queue tree add name=Upload parent=Public max-limit=256k
[admin@lif2k3] > queue tree add parent=Upload queue=pcq-upload packet-mark=users
—————————————————————————
Beside using PCQ Type, we can use Simple Queue which can set bandwidth per client and can't be more flexible than using PCQ Type.

Monitor MRTG via Web
Example configuration:
————————————————————————-
[admin@lif2k3] > tool graphing set store-every=5min
[admin@lif2k3] > tool graphing interfaceadd interface=all allow-address=0.0.0.0/0 store-on-disk=yes disabled=no
—————————————————————————

Blocking porn sites
[admin@lif2k3] > ip web-proxy access
[admin@lif2k3] > add url=”playboy.com” action=deny comment=”block playboy site" disabled=no
[admin@lif2k3] > add url=”dutch-sex.com” action=deny comment=”block dutch-sex” disabled=no

ISP Ethical Responsibilities

Many ISP’s consider themselves to be just a “pipe” for their customers and have no responsibility to provide security for that customer. This pipe can be broken by security issues, and many of these security issues can be addressed by the ISP before the customer is ever affected. For example, detecting, controlling, and preventing denial of service attacks on ISP customers would be a great value-added service. Is it an ethics question to provide these services? I would say it is an ethics question to not provide customers with at least options for these kinds of services. Obviously, the price for the service is not free, but there are many organizations that would pay a “little bit” extra for the added protection.

Security comes in many forms to include the standard BIG 3: Confidentiality, Availability, and Integrity (CIA) and I would add in here Communications. ISP’s can help themselves and their customers by focusing on security issues they can control.

- Confidentiality. This is a tough nut to crack for ISP’s. They can do things to protect their internal architecture and assure protections are in place to minimize their systems from being used to intercept and exploiting information passing across the ISP’s backbone. This includes preventing and detecting sniffers and protecting the backbone from being hacked.

- Availability. ISP’s can take measures to assure their backbones and connections are secured to help prevent denial of service and other availability issues for the clients. By the ISP recognizing denial of service attack or other attacks on availability, they can keep themselves operational and their customers
operational. ISP’s cannot force a client to implement security on their end, but they can help to prevent some security issues from reaching the client.

- Integrity. Similar to Confidentiality, ISP’s can take steps to protect their internal infrastructure so the ISP is not a source of problems. They can also offer customers solutions to improve integrity on the customer networks.

- Communications. ISP’s need to communicate with their customers, the security features they do and do not have in place. ISP’s also should offer value added security recommendations and solutions (whether at a cost or not) so customer’s have options. From a communications standpoint, ISP’s shouldn’t attempt to hide security issues, but address them proactively and when necessary react with drive and conviction to resolve the security issues. ISP’s can also be a source for getting the word out on security issues and solutions.

I have seen a trend of ISP’s moving toward providing security features, options, and solutions for their clients. I believe this trend is due to some consideration of ethical responsibility and that there is money to be made in providing security solutions to customers. The moral of this story: ISP’s, take the high road, be a provider of recommendations and solutions that will help your customers. It will help build a long-term, trust relationship with your customers.

Flash 8 Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity

Macromedia Flash is fast becoming the Web's most widely used platform for creating rich media with animation and motion graphics, but mastering Flash isn't easy. Most entry-level books teach through simple examples that concentrate on either animation or scripting, but rarely both together. To get the most from Flash 8, you not only need to be proficient in programming/interface design, you need the creativity for story telling and the artistic insights to design fluid animation.

Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity teaches Flash design rather than simply Flash itself. With a standalone series of walkthroughs and tutorials for Flash beginners coming from a graphics field, this book teaches Flash in the context of real-world projects. Rather than learn a Flash tool for the sake of it, you learn which areas of Flash are important, and which are less used, simply by seeing how typical content is actually created. And rather than a text-heavy approach, this graphically rich book leads you through hands-on examples by illustration.

Each project in the book starts with goals and broad sketches before moving to design and scripting. This helps you understand design intent-the why of the process-rather than just learning the interfaces and the how of it all. Along the way, you'll create Flash content that includes traditional animation techniques (as seen in full-length animated features), and ActionScript-based interactive animation, such as custom web site interface designs. You also learn how to combine both traditional animation techniques and ActionScript to create feature-rich Flash assets from the ground up.

Co-authored by educational developers with years of experience creating compelling content, interfaces, and applications, Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity offers a content-driven approach that is also inspiration-driven. You learn because you're accomplishing something tangible, not because you think you need to know how a tool works.

If you want to understand how various features of Flash come together to create a final end design, this book provides you with both the insight and the know-how.

Windows XP Service Pack 3

Microsoft works to continually improve the performance, security, and stability of the Windows operating system. As part of this effort, Microsoft develops updates, fixes, and other improvements that address issues reported by the company’s customers and partners. To make it easier for customers to get these updates and enhancements, Microsoft periodically combines them into a single package, and makes that package available for all Windows customers. These packages are called service packs.
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released Windows XP updates, including security updates and hotfixes. It also includes select out-of-band releases, and a small number of new enhancements, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system.
Windows XP SP3 provides a new baseline for customers still deploying Windows XP. For customers with existing Windows XP installations, Windows XP SP3 fills gaps in the updates they might have missed—for example, by declining individual updates when using Windows Update.
Windows XP SP3 includes all previously released Windows XP updates, including security updates and hotfixes, and select out-of-band releases. For example, the service pack includes functionality previously released as updates, such as the Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and the Microsoft Core XML Services 6.0 (MSXML6).

Yahoo Messenger offers firewall support, a standby mode that minimizes the program until an Internet connection is made, the ability to save and print your conversations, and a tabbed interface that provides quick access to your favorite stocks, news, and sports scores. Yahoo! also offers PC-PC, PC-Phone and Phone-to-PC service, file transfers, webcam hosting, text messaging service, and chat rooms in various categories.
Yahoo! Messenger is provided free of charge and can be downloaded and used with a generic "Yahoo! ID" which also allows access to other Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Mail, where users can be automatically notified when they receive new email.

Other features include the ability to create a chat room automatically, stock price alerts, the ability to send messages to friends (even if they're not online when you are), a Quick Compact mode that hides the Messenger tools to maximize your viewing area, Messenger Themes, and voice chat, which allows you to talk for free to anybody else on the Internet. It also includes Launchcast Radio, Yahoo Games, and Yahoo Audibles. Using a Webcam, you can see who you're chatting with or view the Webcam of any Yahoo member who has granted you access.

Yahoo! has announced a partnership with Microsoft to join their instant messaging networks. This would make Yahoo! Messenger compatible with Microsoft's .NET Messenger Service. It also made Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger compatible with Yahoo!'s Network. This change has taken effect as of 2006-07-13, - Yahoo! Messenger has integrated instant messaging with Windows Live Messenger users, and is fully functional.
Yahoo! Messenger was originally launched under the name Yahoo! Pager on 1998-03-09.

About Content Management System

Content management system (CMS) is computer software used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion.[1] CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. The content managed may include computer files, image media, audio files, electronic documents, and Web content.

A CMS may support the following features:
- identification of all key users and their content management roles;
- the ability to assign roles and responsibilities to different content categories or types;
- definition of workflow tasks for collaborative creation, often coupled with event messaging so that content managers are alerted to changes in content (For example, a content creator submits a story, which is published only after the copy editor revises it and the editor-in-chief approves it.);
- the ability to track and manage multiple versions of a single instance of content;
- the ability to publish the content to a repository to support access to the content (Increasingly, the repository is an inherent part of the system, and incorporates enterprise search and retrieval.);
- separation of content's semantic layer from its layout (For example, the CMS may automatically set the color, fonts, or emphasis of text.).

AMD's New 780G Chipset Has Powerful GPU

AMD's New 780G Chipset



With today's introduction of its new 780G chipset, AMD is finally enabling users to build an HTPC or multimedia computer for HDTV, HD-DVD or Blu-ray playback that doesn't require an add-in graphics card. (AMD already included HDCP support and an HDMI interface in its predecessor chipset, the 690G.) The northbridge chip of the new 780G chipset also features an integrated Radeon HD3200 graphics unit that can decode any current high-definition video codec. As a result, CPU load is decreased to such a degree that even a humble AMD Sempron 3200+ is sufficient for HD video playback. Also, while Intel's chipsets get more power-hungry with every generation, AMD's newest design was designed with the goal of reducing power consumption.



The Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 formed the basis for the review platform.

The older 690G chipset was originally designed by ATI, and was essentially just rebranded with the AMD logo after the two companies merged. The new 780V and 780G chipsets unveiled today are the first chips to be designed since AMD's acquisition of ATI, and can thus be considered "real" AMD chips.

AMD has every reason to be proud of its design, which is one of the best chipsets we have ever tested. It bests Intel's chipsets in functionality, power consumption and production process. With the move to 55 nm, AMD was able to lower the power consumption of its chipset. Intel, on the other hand, still manufactures its G33 and G35 chipsets at 90 nm, resulting in a much higher thermal dissipation loss. The 780G chipset sets a new record for the lowest power consumption.

As you probaly expect, the new AMD Phenom X3 8750 looks exactly like any other socket AM2+ processor outfitted with AMD's standard heat spreader. The chip also uses the same packaging and socket as current Phenom processors; it is only the silicon underneath that has changed.

The AMD Phenom X3 8750 is a 2.4GHz processor manufactured using AMD's 65nm Silicon on Insulator process technology. The chip has a Max TDP of 95W and has official support for a 1.8GHz memory controller and HT 3.0 frequency with Dual Dynamic Power Management technology. Although some AMD processors have support for a 2GHz memory controller and HT3.0 link frequency, not every CPU is rated for these high-end frequencies. Also note the "50" in the processor's model number. That "50" means the CPU is based on the recently released B3 revision to the Phenom core which does not suffer from the infamous TLB errata.

Bandwith kok bisa nyampe 1200+ kbps

Sampai pagi2 buta ini masih aja ngenet.. padahal udah ngantuk sih
belum tidur, mana ntar siang disuruh ibuku trs sore rencananya mau ke purwokerto lg!
walahh.. kepiye iki, masa mau tidur bentar? bisa pusing aku.

Tau ga kenapa masih ngenet?
Karena bandwith nya lagi jebol ampe 1200kbps, padahal kan jatahnya cm 256kbps
gila ga tuh?
Hahaha.. mungkin ISP nya kali yang dodol? ga becus ngurusin router.
Jadinya, aku bisa donlot sepuasnya.
aku dah donlot ratusan ebook ampe 500+ MB, hahahaha...
tp bentar lagi pulang ah.. nungguin queue di IDM ku komplit semua

Memblokir Situs Menggunakan Mikrotik

Mikrotik merupakan software router yang handal dan tangguh.
Beberapa fitur handal Mikrotik seperti bandwidth management-nya yang bagus menjadikan Mikrotik sebagai router pilihan bagi warnet dan perkantoran.
Salah satu fitur dari Mikrotik yaitu adanya web-proxy yang berjalan di atas squid layaknya linux.
Web-proxy ini dapat mengcache beberapa content website yang sering dikunjungi sehingga user dapat mengakses website menjadi lebih cepat. Selain itu web-proxy dapat memblokir situs. Adapun caranya adalah:
- masuk ke terminal
- lalu ketik spt ini:
[admin@lif2k3] > ip web-proxy access add url=http://playboy.com* action=deny
Skrip diatas maksudnya akses ke playboy.com akan di deny (ditolak).
