I agree. Carrier's love throttling data. I think its deceiving under the guise of claiming to provide "unlimited" data packages. But in the same breath, it helps the carrier save on network resources, which in turn saves them money.

« on: October 14, 2012, 09:07:45 pm »It also strips all of the usual HTTP headers (and i guess more to the data packet?) so it fools the mobile providers' servers into thinking it is actually the phone sending these requests and not tethering.
I was very intrigued by this. So I went ahead and researched and it seems the app truly does mask tethering on the device. Essentially hiding such activity from the carrier. I think it's risky either way, all dependent on the carrier as well. But from reading some quick commentaries, it seem's some were able to circumvent the charges and other people were charged for the usage. So I think it may be a bit of a gamble but in any case, it would be worth testing out, and then immediately confirming on the carrier webpage under data usage history, just to be sure there would be costs pending.
Here are some links I dug up:
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/05/05/pdanet-updated-to-mask-tethering-usage/
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-att-tracks-unauthorized-tethering-on-your-jailbroken-iphone-and-how-to-hide-it-from-them/
Otherwise this is a remarkable app. I'd search for a cracked .APK for sure. I also read this is on IOS so that's another great plus to the app.
Thanks for the review OP

Thanks for the replies and opinions you guys. Personally, I think there are pro's and con's to both self learning and learning in an academic environment. Having a teacher, I would strongly believe is ideal. The reason being, you have someone guiding you, showing you, teaching you the thing's that may not be directly evident or clear to you as a self learning beginner.
You have somebody that can anticipate things that you may not have enough experience to see coming. Take learning an instrument for example. Having a teacher who will show you what is the best way to practice, being able to see where you could possibly make a mistake, and correct it before any such mistake is made. This is the main reason students get music teachers because it's about having someone skillful and experienced show you the things that self-practice would let you miss. Showing you the things you can do to be a better musician, the techniques and advice that are reflected by their years of familiarity and experience on the instrument.
The difference I would believe with an instrument compared to computing and programming is that, with an instrument, you can harm yourself by doing a technique the wrong way. The more you do it doesn't necessarily make it improve, in fact it can be the exact opposite and only hurt your technique in the long run. Bad habits would become ingrained in your playing from having repetitively done things incorrectly, this can become very difficult to correct down the road, which is why a teacher is essential in this case. They would be able to see that coming and help you avoid such problems before they become permanent.
With computing, I would think, if you're learning to program and the program doesn't work then your doing it wrong. And the more you do it wrong doesn't mean your acquiring 'bad technique' it means you don't know what you're doing and have to go back and figure out how to make it work. It may be similar to music. There might be many more ways then one to program, but like music, if it doesn't sound like it should off the sheet then its wrong.
I think with independent learning, it's possible if you can build some sort of path to progression. Because you don't really know what progression looks like from a self teaching standpoint. In a structured learning environment you can see progression because someone is giving you direct feedback and support. As a self learner the path is so wide and can split off in so many different angles, it may be hard to assess when you are failing from when you're succeeding, because you're completely left to your own devices.
But the way I see it. If I have to go about this myself I'm going to make the best of it either way. As an independent learner you may be disabled on some fronts, but you have the power of freedom, of a stress free work environment and of structuring your own path to learning. I figure if I can gather all the prerequisites to learning that I need, than steadily, slowly, and consistently the goal would be to gain a little amount of knowledge at a time. Not necessarily jump in blind and start trying to learn everything. Instead learn little pieces, small segments of information, but to learn them WELL. For every small process you learn, master it completely, and then move on to the next problem.

« on: October 13, 2012, 12:59:10 pm »Don't listen to them , I've learned programming by my own uptil now, javascript and now learning c++
and yes before that I learned html5 and css(thats not programming so nvm)
but just to tell ya nothing is impossible
Thanks so much for the inspiration. My intention with this thread was more so to hear from fellow independent learners like yourself. To be not only receptive to the positive feedback, but to the criticism and even negative as well, in hopes of constructively moving towards a greater understanding. I wanted to approach this with an open mind, to make a post and hear the stories, the advice, what worked for you guys, what didn't work, the recommendations and suggestions, the trials and tribulations of what it takes to set out and succeed in this feat.
I'm definitely reading deeper into the subject matter. Trying to get as much value from the research as I can. I'm starting off with reading through the primer and taking notes as I go along on key points that I come across. But I figure with learning something like this, I have to remain optimistic no matter what the case. If you're studying on your own you can't be afraid of starting from the ground up. And realizing that when you have no where else to go but up, the ground might not be a bad place to be.
Because that is where your foundation lies. So before beginning to move upwards, every interaction, every detail, every articulation, every which way you can assess the overall objective as a whole, only helps propel you forward from the ground up and builds towards an even more solidified foundation to support you on the climb. That's the main reason I didn't hesitate in starting this thread. I'm sure it will help me and hopefully help others as well

Operating System / Re: Installing backtrack on usb as installing it on hard drive
« on: October 13, 2012, 11:44:13 am »
I second the above post. Definitely re-download the ISO just in case of a bad download. That could very well fix your problem all together. I'd suggest obtaining the ISO via torrent its much faster than direct.
Help me understand. Are you wanting to install this to your hard drive or to a USB? I was under the assumption you were looking at a USB install.
If re-downloading doesn't help you in creating a Live CD for your Hard Drive install try the steps listed to fix your USB install and see if that helps.
Try issuing a 'chkdsk' command from an elevated command console to check your drive.
If you're dealing with a USB install remember to Run as Admin.

Operating System / Re: Installing backtrack on usb as installing it on hard drive
« on: October 13, 2012, 07:52:11 am »I have tried all the methods u guys are saying.But it shows an error and the error is posted is the os section.Just check it out.
What error are you getting? What version of Backtrack are you trying to install? Is it 64 bit or 32 bit? Did you try using "Universal USB Installer"?
I've never had any problems with it. Be sure you try to "Run As Administrator" prior to creating your bootable USB.
The only issue I've personally ever had installing Backtrack - which was on a new laptop - was a black screen stuck after startx. This was due to the display drivers/graphics card and the solution involved inserting a line of code in the grub menu. But as for creating the USB via Installer I've never had any problems at all.

« on: October 13, 2012, 03:52:58 am »I use FL with the Massive plugin, which adds a lot to it, especially if you want Skrillex-style wubz (Skrillex uses Massive as a stand-alone with a MIDI) or to make you're own wubwub for a dubstep song. I also use the Toxic Biohazard that come with FL for certain keyboard sounds for trance and rave songs. You can make plenty of nice tracks JUST with FL, but I can also see why you would want to use other programs.
FL is great for trance, techno and dubstep. I've just gotten used to working exclusively with Cubase. I find that Cubase tailors better towards audio recording and I love the interface as well. FL always struck me as more of an All-In-One type system with some great enhancements and plugins. It's getting increasingly more popular now as well because of how well balanced and developed its become.
If anyone is looking for a download link for FL here is a copy of FL 10.0.9 - Pro Edition Unlocked - http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7707980/Image-Line_FL_Studio_v10.0.9c_Pro_Edition_UNLOCKED_-_R2R_[ds]

Operating System / Guide: Multiboot USB
« on: October 13, 2012, 03:42:10 am »
Hey everyone,
I'm making a quick instructional guide on how to create a Multiboot USB in Windows. As many of you are most likely already aware, it's quite an easy process that is quick to setup and fast to get configured. The benefits in doing so include being able to provision multiple operating systems on a single USB drive, useful for creating an All In One flash drive for penetration testing or what have you. Hopefully this will help new users and maybe even some veterans as well.
Synopsis:
The aim of this thread is to provide procedural steps on how to create and configure a Multiboot USB in a Windows environment. Included topics will cover relevant programs and procedures as well as steps to further enable a user to test their USB installation from within a Virtual Machine application, as an alternative to booting back into the machine via system restart.
Suggested Distributions:
Although you can install whichever operating system will best suit your purpose, a few suggestions will be given below relevant to penetration testing and computer security;
- Blackbuntu - An Ubuntu based Linux distribution designed for penetration testing
- Backtrack 5 - Linux distribution specifically for the purposes of penetration testing
- BackBox - A computer forensics/penetration testing distribution
- Deft 7 - A penetration testing and forensics distribution based on Xubuntu
- Phlax - (Professional Hackers Linux Assault Kit) - A distribution for security analysis/forensics/ and penetration testing.
- DBAN - (Dariks Boot N Nuke) - A utility for erasing hard drives entirely. Works against forensic examination and data restoration techniques.
- Konboot - A utility allowing the user to circumvent the Windows Logon screen on boot in a single click
- Orphcrack XP/VISTA - A rainbow tables password cracker available for Windows XP/VISTA
- Offline NT Password And Registry Editor - A utility to reset Windows user passwords
Instructions:
To create your multiboot USB first download and install your chosen creation software. A few options will be listed however I found the easiest, most user friendly program to use for this purpose was "Yumi Multiboot USB Creator" Links are listed in the appropriate section of this post.
First download and run the program as Administrator. Ensure you've obtained each ISO or setup file you wish to install to your USB drive. These files can be found on the corresponding project homepage of your chosen distributions. See the links portion of the post for further details.
Once the program is executed specify your drive path, operating system type, and manually select the ISO/package pathway from the appropriate directory. From here just hit create. Everything will be handled automatically by the program. No need for any manual partitioning.
When the process has completed you may restart your machine and enter BIOS setup by hitting F2/F10/F8 from the splash screen. Confirm that you've configured the boot order to allow "external device" as the first priority. Exit saving changes. You will automatically be taken into your USB flash drives multiboot selections menu.
Uninstalling:
If you wish to uninstall a specific operating system form your drive, boot back into the Installer program as Admin. Select "Remove an installed item" then choose your desired O.S. from the list and hit Continue. Upon completion your selected option will removed.
Boot USB From Virtual Client:
As an alternative to booting into USB via system restart you can also chose to configure your preferred Virtual Machine client to boot directly from the flash drive. Vmware and Virtualbox are two programs I generally use for the purpose of testing bootable USB installs virtually. First obtain yourself a copy of whichever chosen software you wish to use.
Vwmare:
1) Begin by downloading a copy of "Plop Boot Manager" from the following link: http://www.plop.at/
2) An ISO image will be contained inside the zip archive. Run your Vmware client as Administrator and create a "New Virtual Machine"
3) From the ISO selection screen manually browse to the path of the ISO folder within the unpacked zip archive
4) Once the virtual machine has been created start the machine and select "VM" from the toolbar menu, scroll to "Removable Device/Disk" and select your USB drive making sure you have inserted the flash drive into the machine.
5) Select USB from the pop up menu inside the virtual machine window and you will be automatically redirected to the multiboot options screen.
Virtualbox:
1) Begin by running and command prompt console with elevated privileges and typing the following code:
2) Replace the hash symbol at the end of the second line with the drive letter of your USB
3) Run Virtualbox as Administrator, create a new machine, choose existing hard disk and specify usb.vmdk in the appropriate path
4) Now with your USB inserted you'll be able to restart Virtualbox and boot from the drive by running your newly created virtual machine.
Alternate Tools: USB Creation
Some alternative programs are available to aid the user in creating a multiboot flash drive. Those links are listed below:

2) Sardu Multiboot - http://www.sarducd.it/
3) Yumi Multiboot - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
Notes:
* If you experience issues with 64 bit versions try proceeding with 32 bit versions of the O.S or use an alternate installer.
* Ensure "Hardware Virtualization" is enabled within BIOS settings if provided
* If you experience problems with Konboot install attempt to specify the ISO manually as the rar package or selecting "Unlisted ISO" and navigating to the extracted ISO file.
* For configuration and compatibility issues consult your distributions support forums

« on: October 12, 2012, 11:02:13 pm »I've been using fl studio since 08. If you know what you are doing it is a great tool to make just about anything. Eventuality ill make some tuts for it. This will probably be after I move and get set up.
I'd love to see the tutorials on FL. Fruity Loops is capable of some great things. It certainly is full featured with a variety of tools and resources to do almost anything. I think it's better suited for beat makers and vocal singers although I like to have fun with it once in a while and use its MIDI features and step sequencer. Some of the plugins are pretty neat also
