Block facebook widgets through out the web

Block facebook widgets through out the web Just a few days back, TechBU started using Facebook’s Fan Page feature and in the same context we see a new facebook widget on right hand side of TechBU. It’s always good to publicize in multiple ways possible, but there may be more then 1 reason you do not want to see those widgets through the web. - Top most reason may be, that you are concerned about your privacy and do not  want facebook to record your browsing habits. - Second could be, you are already liking a page and now do not want to see that widget on every page of your favorite blog. - Third and most shocking one could be, that you are not on facebook and do not want to be annoyed by those like buttons everywhere.

This includes ‘Like’ buttons, ‘Recommended’ lists, widgets, etc. Note that – sites with facebook login button will still work as normal. It is an experimental add-on and which is why a few bugs still persists. So naturally, it does not do all what it claims to do. Following is a screenshot showing a small facebook button which should not be there - Chrome WidgetBlock is one more miracle which can save you not only from the facebook widgets, but from a variety of them across the web. Widgetblock for Google Chrome helps to remove widgets from Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, Disqus, etc. This not only customizes your browsing experience but adds up some extra speed to a faster browser.

WikiLeaks

Top 10 Reasons Why WikiLeaks Will Win The power of good triumphs over the power of evil, WikiLeaks will win at last. Although there were a lot of troubles, such as its domain wikileaks.org was killed by everydns.net, its web hosting was stopped by Amazon, its accounts of PayPal, Visa and MasterCard were all denied by their owners, and even Julian Assange was arrested, WikiLeaks are still alive and even more powerful than before, not only because it keeps publishing new cables, but also because there are many mirrors and other supports from all over the world. There must be some reasons for WikiLeaks to survive in such a tough situation, and the most important reasons I think will be below 10: 1. Nobody Has Been Harmed By WikiLeaks Since WikiLeaks only “publishes and comments on leaked documents alleging government and corporate misconduct”, no one is or will be harmed because of those released document, just as what Julian Assange said: WikiLeaks has a four-year publishing history. During that time we have changed whole governments, but not a single person, as far as anyone is aware, has been harmed. 2. WikiLeaks Is Legal Up till now, WikiLeaks hasn’t violated any laws of any countries or areas, and no government has sued Julian Assange because of WikiLeaks. 3. WikiLeaks Is Not Alone Up till now, there have been more than 1,300 mirrors for WikiLeaks, which means that people can get access to WikiLeaks via more than 1,300 domains or IPs, and the number of mirrors is growing every day. 4. WikiLeaks Is Not The Only One Who Leaks Cables Besides WikiLeaks, The Guardian, The New York Times, Der Spiegel and some other medias also have released the leaking document, but only WikiLeaks is blamed by some governments. 5. Assange Wasn’t Arrested For WikiLeaks Assange was arrested not for his website, but for sex crime charge, which he denied. And obviously, Assange’s personal life won’t affect the performance of WikiLeaks. 6. People Want To Know The Truth Truth changes the world, and people want to know the truth, so that they can know where their taxes have been used, how their governments have performed, who killed the innocent people in wars, and any other truth about their countries, governments and money. 7. The Internet Society Supports WikiLeaks The Internet Society has published their claim on the WikiLeaks issue and said: Free expression should not be restricted by governmental or private controls over computer hardware or software, telecommunications infrastructure, or other essential components of the Internet. 8. The Internet Is Out of Government Control Governments can ask their domestic companies to stop business with WikiLeaks, but they can’t control the internet. When the domain was killed, WikiLeaks changed a new one; When PayPal, Vista, and MasterCard were frozen, people also can donate via bank transfer, post mail and a new credit card; When one website of WikiLeaks was blocked or turned off, there are more than 1,000 other workable mirrors, etc. 9. Even Hackers Support WikiLeaks Some hackers has attacked PayPal, Vista, MasterCard and some other websites that punished WikiLeaks or Julian Assange, which is not noble-minded, but shows their supports. 10. The Power Of Good Triumphs Over The Power Of Evil WikiLeaks is a legal website which tells truth, and the truth doesn’t harm any single body, it is the power of good, and will triumphs over the power of evil who try to hide the truth. The most difficult period has passed, WikiLeaks will keep alive and become more powerful.

Tips & Tricks

How hackers can erase their tracks after hacking. Posted: 06 Dec 2010 08:55 PM PST Whenever someone comes in contact with another person, place, or thing, something of that person is left behind. This means that the attacker must disable logging, clear log files, eliminate evidence, plant additional tools and cover his tracks. Here are some of the techniques that an attacker can use to cover his tracks:- (1) Disabling logging – Auditpol was originally included in the NT Resource kit for administrators. It works well for hackers too, as long as they have administrative access. Just point it at the victim’s system as follows: C:\>auditpol \\192.168.10 /disable Auditing Disabled (2) Clear the log file – The attacker will also attempt to clear the log. Tools, such as Winzapper, evidence Eliminator, or Elsave, can be used. Elsave will remove all entries from the logs, except one entry that shows the logs were cleared. It is used as follows: Elsave -s \\192.168.13.10 -1 “Security” -C (3) Cover their tracks – One way for attackers to cover their tracks is with rootkits. Rootkits are malicious codes designed to allow an attacker to get expanded access and hide his presence. While rootkits were traditionally a Linux tool, they are now starting to make their way into the Windows environment. Tools, such as NTrootkit and AFX Windows rootkits, are available for Windows systems. If you suspect that a computer has been rootkitted, you need to use an MD5 checksum utility or a program, such as Tripwire, to determine the viability of your programs. The only other alternative is to rebuild the computer from known good media.
