Many beginners in Hacking have the doubt in choosing the best operating system. It’s really not that much hard to choose among Linux and Windows. The following pros and cons of Windows and Linux will help you to choose the operating system for your hacking journey.   WINDOWS PROS: 85% of computer user using windows as their operating system. More Software’s support windows only. Easy to use. Stable operating system. If you are a serious gamer and a Photoshop user then Windows is the best choice. CONS: High cost. You don’t have a permission to view or modify its source code. Virus can easily attack the system (But, Anyone who is smart enough or well versed can easily protect a Win system). You don't have a permission to redistribute it. (You can sometimes redistribute certain distro's of it. Such as the beta or developer's distro). Requires high hardware specifications (It depends upon the Win OS you are using). LINUX PROS: It’s an open source and totally fre...

Hello Friends, Today I'll be explaining you how to make your Mozilla Firefox faster. 1) To accelerate the start of Firefox: Right click on your Firefox shortcut and hit the properties and add " /Prefetch:1 " at the end of the target.  For example: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1 " (Just leave a space before /Prefetch:1) 2) To increase the speed of loading pages :  At the url bar of Firefox, type "about:config" without ". And press enter. Find this below four values by using ctrl+F.  - network.dns.disableIPv6 - network.http.pipelining - network.http.proxy.pipelining - network.http.pipelining.maxrequests And by double clicking on that values.  - set "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true" , - set “network.http.pipelining†to “true†, - Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining†to “true†and , - Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests†to some number li...

Hi Geek,  www.ingeekfloor.blogspot.com is now www.geekfloor.com The following post is written by Deepanker Verma admin of www.hackingtricks.in. He is a Web developer, Security consultant and a Programmer. :-) About Java Platform: The Java platform consists of the Java application programming interfaces (APIs) and the Java virtual machine (JVM). Java APIs are libraries of compiled code that you can use in your programs. They let you add ready-made and customizable functionality to save you programming time. Java programs are run (or interpreted) by another program called the Java Virtual Machine. Rather than running directly on the native operating system, the program is interpreted by the Java VM for the native operating system. This means that any computer system with the Java VM installed can run Java programs regardless of the computer system on which the applications were originally developed. Java Programming Language The Java programming language is a high-lev...

  Learning & Using Linux What is it? Linux is a free, open-source, UNIX-like operating system. As you continue to learn how to hack, you will realize how important it is to learn how to use the Linux operating system. Need some convincing? Here are a couple facts: 1. Millions of servers on the internet run on the Linux operating system. You must learn the operating system to be able to penetrate these web servers. 2. Some of the best hacking programs only run on Linux. Choosing a distribution A Linux distribution is the Linux kernel (- central component of an operating system.) plus a collection of applications. If you are a beginner to Linux, I would suggest starting with Ubuntu as your first Linux distribution. It is simple to install and very user friendly. To see a full list of the most popular distributions can go to   http://distrowatch.com   . Running Linux There are many ways to get Linux up and running. I will show you the most popular meth...

Programming Do I Really Need It? You might be asking yourself, do I even need to learn a programming language? The answer to that is both yes and no. It all depends on what your goals are. Nowadays, with all the point and click programs out there, you can be a fairly good ethical hacker without knowing any programming. You can do some effective hacking if you understand all of the security tools very well. Even if you understand what’s going on in the background of these programs, most people will still classify you as a script kiddie. Personally I think you should learn some programming. Even if it’s the very basics, it’ll give you a much better understanding of what’s going on. Also, once you learn how to program well, you’ll be able to develop your own exploits, which is great in many ways: 1. You’ll be considered an elite hacker. 2. Imagine a black hat discovers a vulnerability and codes an exploit for it that no one else knows about. The black hat would be able to t...
