  Hello,

  If you are having dedicated server or shell access of your server the you can do the necessary setting to access your cpanel webalizer stats without login to your cpanel.

  For this you need to do the following steps

  step1.

  login to your server with root user

  step 2:

  cd /home/username/public_html

  step 3:

  ln -s ../tmp/webalizer stats

  ln command creates logical links between files
  step 4:

  chown username.username stats

  step 5:
  cd ../tmp

  step 6:
  chmod 755 ./webalizer
  —————-

  This will allow to access your webalizer stats with http://domain.com/stats/ without logging in to cpanel
  Its applicable for Webalizers stats only.

  Note: replace username and domain name with your actual username and your domainname.

  Windows Vista-The Missing Manual

  Uncategorized No Comments

  Vista is the long-awaited successor to Windows XP and it is a major overhaul and upgrade of that operating system. David Pogue has just released the missing manual series of books - Window Vista; The Missing Manual with new look on the operating features.

  “Windows Vista: The Missing Manual. When you consider that Microsoft seldom includes more than a quick start guide, this is truly the case of a missing manual”.

  Not only is Vista a complete overhaul, it is a version that took over five years to complete. Some claim that in the last two years almost 60 percent of the code has been rewritten. There are massive changes to security as well as to the interface. There are new programs, new explorers and yes, new release levels. And Microsoft is expecting to learn how work with all of these changes with out a manual?

  Sun Ray

  Sun Solaris OS, Uncategorized No Comments

  Th Sun Ray was introduced by Sun Microsystems 1999 as a thin client (client side OS). Sun Ray clients are connected via an ethernet network to the Sun Ray Server. Sun Ray Server software is available for Sun’s solaris operating system and also for linux.

  Sun’s Sun Ray thin-client platform is unlike any other, offering native Unix connectivity on the Solaris and Linux platforms, as well as providing SmartCard secondary security measures and the ability to move seamlessly between clients while maintaining active sessions. The management tools are rather sparse, however. It’s certainly a different breed, but it works quite well.

  The Sun Ray thin-client computing platform is actually a combination of hardware and software. At the hardware end, there are two new clients available. The modest Sun Ray 2 offers 10/100 Ethernet, sound, and USB support. The Sun Ray 2FS is larger but adds 100FX support for greater security at the transport level, as well as the ability to run dual monitors. Both clients are outfitted with SmartCard readers to support two-factor authentication.

  On the software end, the clients require the Sun Ray Software package. This includes all the server-side components that deliver a desktop to the client devices. A rather rudimentary Web management UI that can display connected clients, users, and SmartCard information is also included.

  Hot Desking is one of the major features the Sun Ray provides, and it works very well. In the middle of a user session, removing the SmartCard from the front of the client will revert the client back to a log-in window. Placing the card into another client will bring up a log-in window, and with a valid password, the user’s entire session appears exactly as it was on the original client. This is similar to session disconnects on Windows Terminal Services or Citrix but with the additional security measure and ease provided by the SmartCard.

  To reach the Windows market, Sun has released the Sun Ray Connector for Windows, which essentially runs a full-screen Windows Remote Desktop client on the Sun Ray client. This approach may seem like the long way around to those with a history of Windows-based thin-client implementations, but it does work.

  If you are going for secure, manageable Solaris or Windows desktop is the goal, the new Sun Ray solution is worth a look. The bells and whistles are not just fluff when you need to deploy dual-monitor support or have a highly secure fiber network.

  Sun plans new Thin Client

  Sun Solaris OS, Uncategorized No Comments

  Sun Microsystems plans to debut a new line of its Sun Ray thin client terminals and shed more light on its UltraSparc T1 “Niagara” processors and other multithreaded chip plans.

  The Sun Ray thin-client computing platform is actually a combination of hardware and software. At the hardware end, there are two new clients available. The modest Sun Ray 2 offers 10/100 Ethernet, sound, and USB support. The Sun Ray 2FS is larger but adds 100FX support for greater security at the transport level, as well as the ability to run dual monitors. Both clients are outfitted with SmartCard readers to support two-factor authentication.

  If previous ideas from Sun come true, the new Sun Ray models will be able to connect not just by 10-megabit-per-second Ethernet networking, but also via home broadband and 802.11 wireless networks.

  Sun hasn’t had much luck getting the world to scrap PCs in favor of thin clients, which Sun argues are easier to manage and more energy efficient.Sun has promised Sun Rays that come with Internet calling features using voice over Internet Protocol i.e VOIP.

  Rename start button

  Blogging, Uncategorized, Windows Web Hosting No Comments

  To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor. My preference is UltraEdit

  1. Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe)

  2. With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6

  3. You will see the word start with blanks between each letter

  4. Edit it be any 5 characters or less

  5. Save the file

  6. Boot to DOS

  7. Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org

  8. Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe

  9. You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one. Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can’t access the files from DOS: 1. Start Regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon. 3. Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe

  Enjoy..

  EPP / Authorization key…

  Uncategorized No Comments

  * ” What is an EPP Code/ Authorization key ? “

  EPP stands for Extensible Provisioning Protocol: An application layer client-server protocol for the provisioning and management of objects stored in a shared central repository. Specified in XML, the protocol defines generic object management operations and an extensible framework that maps protocol operations to objects.

  This method is used to verify .org, .info, .biz, .us, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .cn, .tw, .jp and .in domains only. This may change at any time depending upon registry requirements.

  When an EPP transfer order is created, an “authorization key” or “EPP key” is required for each domain name to be transferred. Per ICANN regulations, a verification email or fax transfer authorization is also required.

  Authorization (or EPP) keys/codes are generated by the current registrar and verified through the global registries for validity.

  Although some registrars have begun to implement the EPP security protocol for .com and .net domains, the global registry, (Verisign) does not yet require an EPP/authorization key for registrar transfer of these TLD’s. Until EPP authorization is mandated by the registry,requirements for transferring your .com and .net domains to or away from eNom have not changed.

  Until this functionality has been fully employed, you will NOT be asked for an EPP key to transfer your .com or .net domain to or away from eNom. Some EPP enabled registrars may state that they require an EPP/authorization key for registrar transfer. In these cases, the domain owner has to contact the current domain registrar and request for the EPP/authorization key. A EPP/authorization key is a combination of alpha-numeric characters.For Example : A ” made up “ EPP key** would look something like this: X9S03ZQ5490KJ32AM.

  NOTE: Authorization (EPP) keys are a security code required by the registry for domain transfer, thus are unique to every domain name. No two EPP/authorization keys are the same, thus if you are transferring more than one EPP domain, you will need to obtain each domain’s specific code.

  Domain Redemption Period

  Uncategorized 1 Comment

  What is a Redemption Period?

  
  The redemption period is known as ” grace period ” for upto 30 days that once a domain registrar deletes a domain name after the domain expiration date , the domain owner still has a validity for 30 days to gain the same domain. This deletion normally occurs sometime within the first 45 days after a name expires without being renewed.

  Instead of actually being deleted and re-available for registration within a few days, what happens is the central VeriSign registry holds the name in a new “REDEMPTIONPERIOD” status. The grace period basically gives the original domain owner a chance to renew their domain name.

  After the Expired period, a domain goes into a second stage called the redemption (or On Hold) period. For 30 days, the original domain owner still has the option to renew the domain, but must also pay a $175 fine.

  Cryptography

  Customer Service, Internet Security, Server Security, Uncategorized No Comments

  Hello friends,

  What is cryptography ?

  Cryptography is the study of message protection in secret format. To most people, cryptography is concerned with keeping their communications private and secrete. The protection of sensitive communications has been the emphasis of cryptography throughout much of its history

  There are two kinds of cryptography : symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric cryptosystems use the same key (the secret key) to encrypt and decrypt a message, and Asymmetric cryptosystems use one key (the public key) to encrypt a message and a different key (the private key) to decrypt the encrypted message. Assymetric cryptosystems are also called public key cryptosystems.

  Encryption is the transformation of data or message into a form that is as close to impossible as possible to read without the appropriate knowledge (a key; see below). Its purpose is to ensure privacy by keeping information hidden from anyone or unauthorise person, even those who have access to the encrypted data. Decryption is the reverse of encryption; it is the transformation of encrypted data back into an intelligible form.

  Authentication is as fundamentally a part of our lives as privacy. Authentication is very necessary in our day to day life with any kind of transactions- when we sign our name to some document for instance - and, as we move to a world where our decisions and agreements are communicated electronically, we need to have electronic techniques for providing authentication. Cryptography provides mechanisms for such procedures. A digital signature.

  Cryptography is central to the techniques used in computer and network security for such things as access control and information confidentiality. Cryptography is also used in many applications encountered in everyday life; the security of ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce all depend on cryptography.

  Protocol stack (TCP/IP)

  Blogging, Internet Security, Uncategorized 1 Comment

  The protocol Stack:
  In TCP/IP’s most basic level, a computer network is simply a series of connections between computers which allow them to communicate. The scope, size, speed, content and reliability of the network depending on its protocols suite and implementation. Protocols are pre-established means of communication. The term TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) actually refers to a whole family of protocols, of which TCP and IP are just two. Following figure contains the standard “stack” diagram of TCP/IP. Rather than make protocols monolithic (which would mean ftp, telnet, and gopher would each have a full network protocol implementation, including separate copies of kernel code for the devices each protocol uses), the designers of TCP/IP broke the job of a full network protocol suite into a number of tasks. Each layer corresponds to a different facet of communication. Conceptually, it is useful to envision TCP/IP as a stack. In implementations, programmers often blur the layers for increased performance.
