Free Phone calls with your handphone

Do you have gprs connection? subscriber mode with flat rate will see this way as ‘free’ option to make phone call using your handphone.

Here’s the steps :

1. Make account in skype

2. Make account in fring

3. Install fring software in your handphone.

4. Run fring software from your handphone.

You get "free phone call"  icon wink Free Phone calls with your handphone

Yes, basically it use skype as backbone.

If you have cheap or flat rate gprs subscription then use it wisely.

Plan for Trying Debian

Just stumble upon on distrowatch news titled "From FreeBSD to Debian GNU/Linux".

I know that feel, when you must set a server in quick then I love simple and quick way. After reading the news I’ll try to set up full server like I use to build with FreeBSD.

Just need to play around with debian style with their apt-get.

Can I install apache 1.3.39 with php5 and mysql 4.0.27 with apt-get?

What about downgrade php5 to php4 in the middle of operation?

no..no, I like ‘stable’ application. Thats why I choose djbdns, qmail ( I don’t use anymore for some reason) and pure-ftpd.

Just make it simple guys, better know your fav OS will help you to make decision. But I still need to install debian for workshop reason icon smile Plan for Trying Debian

Which OS is good for server ?

depend on your knowledge, make sure you know it closely icon wink Plan for Trying Debian

Dynagen Version 0.10.1 released to fix NM-16ESW bug and Tutorial updates

From Greg blog :

Continuing my quest to avoid a 1.0 release at all costs, here is version 0.10.0. The most important things in this release are support for 1700 platform emulation and WIC modules Chris added in 0.8.0-RC1. The tutorial has gotten a general update, along with documentation for using the new WIC modules. It also now includes a section with an up-to-date hardware reference that details all the models emulated by Dynamips, which adapters are supported and in which slots. Questions regarding these issues are (understandably) common on the forums.

Version 0.10.0:
* Support for the 1700 platform new to Dynamips 0.8.0-RC1. See the tutorial for supported platforms and modules.
* Support for WIC-1T, WIC-2T, and WIC-1ENET. See the tutorial for supported router platforms and usage.
* Support for NM-CIDS and NM-NAM. Note these are just "stubs" (at least as of this version of Dynamips). You can connect to them using "IDS-Sensorx/0 = …" or "Analysis-Modulex/0 = …" but they don’t actually do anything. See the tutorial for platform support.
* FS#154 – added "confreg" command to set the configuration register of router(s) from Dynagen. e.g. "confreg r1 0×2142" followed by "reload r1". Note changes to the config register will not be displayed in a "show ver" until the router is reloaded.
* FS#182 – Second port of PA-C7200-IO-2FE was not usable
* FS#177 – crash on malformed interface entry in net file
* Dynagen now automatically picks a PA-2FE-TX rather than a PA-FE-TX when referencing a FastEthernet on ports 1-6 on a 7200. You can override this to mimic the old behavior with "slotx = PA-FE-TX".
* the vbs file that launches SecureCRT sessions was missing from the Windows installer package
* Changed the state shown with the "list" command for virtual switches from "n/a" to "always on" to avoid confusion.
* Added an up-to-date list of hardware emulated by Dynamips to the tutorial. Thanks to ggee for performing the initial documentation in this post: http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?t=1831

* Accidentally only gave the NM-16ESW 15 interfaces.

Dynamips 0.2.8-RC1 release – Introduction of Cisco 1700 platform and WICs

From Cris blog :

Hello all,

The 0.2.8-RC1 release is available. It requires a Dynagen upgrade since the hypervisor control protocol has been modified. The new Dynagen release will be published by Greg soon.

New features:

  • Support of the Cisco 1700 platforms, with WIC-1T, WIC-2T and WIC-1ENET cards (as for the 2600, the images need to be uncompressed before use).
  • Support of WIC-1T and WIC-2T for the 2600 (2 WIC slots), 2691, 3725 and 3745 (3 WIC slots) platforms.
  • Support of NM-NAM and NM-CIDS interfaces BUT this not means that you can use them out of the box. It means that you can connect your virtual routers to a VMWare, QEMU, … virtual PC running the NM-CIDS/NM-NAM code. I don’t provide a method to do this, but you can take inspiration here: http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?t=3095. If someone wants to document how to setup this, he/she is welcome.
  • Plugin system (not documented yet) that allows to dynamically load new platforms. It is mainly for coding tests (it avoids to modify the dynamips core with temporary code).

Optimizations / Bug-fixes:

  • New generic card framework to reduce the code specific to each platform (it is transparent to users, and was required for WIC support) ;
  • Fixed JIT compiler for PowerPC and MIPS platforms on MacOS X (stack alignment) ;
  • Fixed JIT compiler for PowerPC on 64-bit Linux platform (incorrect “bctr” instruction) ;
  • Added ISL support for NM-1FE-TX card ;
  • Fixed the Serial cards (NM-4T, PA-4T, PA-8T, PA-POS-OC3, WICs) to handle correctly CRC stuff. Now, you can interconnect them to the virtual Frame-relay switches.

Important note: The use of WIC cards is a bit complicated without Dynagen, so I strongly recommend to use it to mask the gory details.

Multiple domains login in roundcube webmail

Roundcube is very good solution for webmail. I use squirrelmail for almost 4 years and I like it too.

In production server I install squirrelmail and roundcube as well for give other user different experience icon smile Multiple domains login in roundcube webmail

using mail and mail2 as prefix and multiple domains need special attention in roundcube.

After search in their forum I like this snippet :

 function getDomain() {

    $host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

    $prefix=’mail’;

    $arr=explode(‘.’,$host);

    if ($arr[0]==$prefix) { unset($arr[0]); $host=implode(‘.’,$arr); }

    else { $host=”; }

    return $host;

}

plus this line :

$rcmail_config['username_domain'] = getDomain();

 put that in config/main.inc.php

for my case where I use mail and mail2 just edit the line :

if ($arr[0]==$prefix) { unset($arr[0]); $host=implode(‘.’,$arr); }

into

if ($arr[0]==$prefix or $arr[0]==’mail2′) {

unset($arr[0]); $host=implode(‘.’,$arr);

}

 Working  well for me icon smile Multiple domains login in roundcube webmail

Just cross this ‘unique blog‘ in msdn jungle icon smile hackers @ microsoft

First post quite promising :

"

Hello world. 

Welcome to a new blog from Microsoft.  The focus of this blog is likely to be a little different from most other blogs you’ll see on blogs.msdn.com.  Microsoft employs some of the best hackers in the world and actively recruits them and develops them.  They work on all kinds of projects, whether it be in development, research, testing, management and of course security.  Of course, there is controversy even in the word "hacker" but I don’t think that should stop us from using it in the manner I think is the most appropriate.  At his or her core, a true hacker is someone who is curious and wants to learn how systems work.  This can and of course at Microsoft is done in an ethical, legal manner.  We employ "white hat hackers" who spend their time pentesting and code reviewing applications and software looking for weaknesses and vulnerabilities so that others don’t once we’ve released that code into the wild.  We employ many many smart testers who know more about some of our software then perhaps the architects who designed it.  We also employ some of the top researchers in their industry, dedicated people working on the bleeding edge of whats going to be common place in the next 5 or 10 years of computing.  So yes, Microsoft does have hackers, and its time to introduce you to some of them and show you what it is, exactly that they do.

Generally most of the content you’ll read and people you’ll meet on this blog will be somehow related to security but not all by any stretch.
