Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for “cmd.” Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],”


Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL and hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access the internet regularly, you should, save this list.

Samsung Galaxy SII





The phone has the latest version of the one of the best operating systems out there,Android 2.3 Gingerbread(An ICS update is very much near), running on 1GB RAM and an internal memory of 16/32 GB and a microSD expansion capability of 32GB through a memory card, beside a dual core 1.2 GHz processor, that are making the GalaxySII probably the best smartphone in terms of performance and response time. Basically its Fast and Furious :) The browser is just smooth and the Samsung's TouchWIZ UI makes it all a memorable experience. The Samsung Galaxy S2 is almost impossibly thin when you pick it up – dimensions of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5mm mean it's one of the thinnest smartphones on the market at the moment.
The 8 megapixel camera,  which shoots pictures in excellent resolutions and can also record video at 1080p quality and 30fps rate, is another great thing about the Galaxy SII. Another pro of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the display, a super AMOLED Plus capacitive 4.3” touchscreen, which can be clearly distinguished even if viewed directly under the sun, and will never fail you. Battery life could be better than other smartphones yet still it lasts for almost 24 hours only at regular usage. The touchscreen is fluid and like all Super AMOLED Screens white appears slightly on the bluish end. It fits into your hand quite easily thanks to its sleek design :)

Verdict:

This would be the dream smartphone for many !!!!!!

Phishing

Normal phishing is technique to hack passwords by fooling the victim make him login to particular website suing your phish or fake page. But normal phishing is easily detectable. But Smart Phishing with Email trap is almost undetectable and I will show you How its undetectable. In smart phishing we send HTML mails to the victim with same header as that of original mails by emailaddress that looks similar to original one. And ask user to join some Group or watch video or read comment etc.. And mail looks that user has to enter in it and his password is ours. Here we exploit the fact that Most users who uses Facebook are subscribed to notification by their friends. So its quite easier to exploit fact.
