I previously blogged about Backtrack 3,the ultimate hacking tool disc with over 300 tools?Now..the good news follows up as the latest version of Backtrack was unveiled by the guys at Remote Exploit. For those that don?t know what BackTrack is,It is the top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes. It?s evolved from the merge of the two wide spread distributions ? Whax and Auditor Security Collection. By joining forces and replacing these distributions, BackTrack has gained massive popularity and was voted in 2006 as the #1 Security Live Distribution by insecure.org. Security professionals as well as new-comers are using BackTrack as their favorite toolset all over the globe. The new version has busted the 700mb file size though so it?d DVD or USB, it?s recommended to use a USB drive to run it or install it on your HDD as running from a CD isn?t exactly speedy.

Imagine Doom, Fallout, Oblivion, Wolfenstein, Carmack, Howard... all in one company. The dream became reality in one big shock. Gaming industry witnesses a new era of greatness as two of the most acclaimed game development studios of all time are joining forces. ZeniMax Media,the parent company of Fallout 3 and the highly acclaimed Elder Scrolls development studio Bethesda Softworks, announced today that it is purchasing legendary Doom and Wolfenstein studio id soft. id co-founder John Carmack, id CEO Todd Hollenshead and ZeniMax CEO Robert Altman commented that the purchase will change none of the principles of id and Bethesda but will allow id to grow like it never has before. The purchase does not affect plans for previously announced games from id that are slated for release through other publishers, including the Activision-backed Wolfenstein and the EA Partners-planned Rage. As for the million dollar question - Why did id sell? Carmac justified by saying "We're really getting kind of tired competing with our own publishers in terms of how our titles will be featured,And we've really gotten more IPs than we've been able to take advantage of. And working with other companies hasn't been working out as spectacularly as it could. So the idea of actually becoming a publisher and merging Bethesda and ZeniMax on there [is ideal.] It would be hard to imagine a more complementary relationship. They are triple A, top-of-the-line in what they do in the RPGs. And they have no overlap with all the things we do in the FPSes." Hollenshead pointed that ZeniMax's acquisition will allow id to grow its internal teams, staffing up the groups working on the next Doom ? which will now be a ZeniMax game ? and for starters,the Quake Live team. The goal, explained Carmack, is for id to handle all of its own IPs. "We can build the pipeline and have a regular pipeline of releases." In short - ID + Bethesda = Pure Awsummness!!!! Amen :)

Yesterday I installed Vmware and tested Ubuntu Linux on it,however being a keyboard ninja,I felt clunked whenever I hit the Windows key (another windows habit of bringing Start Menu) to bring the Ubuntu Panel at the top of screen as nothing happened at that time. Ubuntu Panel is a dropdown menu which is used to launch applications, which is quite similar to the way Windows has the start menu. However If you are a windows user new to Ubuntu, you might want to have the windows key launch the applications menu. Thankfully this is an easy thing to do in Ubuntu. Go to the System \ Preferences \ Keyboard Shortcuts menu item: Scroll down till you see the ?Show the panel menu? item,click in the Shortcut column, and when it changes to ?New accelerator??, hit the Windows Key. Close all windows and you?re done! Now whenever you will hit the windows key (intentionally/unintentionally/for God?s sake :P) , the application menu will pop up and you can navigate into it using the arrow keys.

Every budding Internet hacker or a user wants to hack a website,but is unsure on how to do that.In my last post,I discussed about Google Hacks which can be used to search for vulnerable sites and content from Google,however if you want to scan a website for its loopholes,you will need a good website ripper or a mapping tool. BlackWidow fills the missing link here.BlackWidow is a website scanner,a site ripper and mapping tool which is primarily used to scan a site and create a complete profile of the site?s structure, files, external links and even link errors.Upon scanning BlackWidow will download all file types such as pictures and images, audio and MP3 and literally any type of files from any websites.And If you are good (:P) then you can write your own "Plugins" for impossible to scan sites. Primary features of black widow are - - It can even scan and retrieve hidden emails
- Can reproduce the whole website directory structure.
- BlackWidow can scan a site without downloading it to your hard drive
- Monitors web activity and keeps an eye on every program which access internet.
- BlackWidow can be customized in any which way you like by using Plugins which can be written with little or very less programming experience.
That said,I was easily able to download the directory structure of my college?s website and scan it using Acunetix Vulnerability scanner for some loopholes and exploits.And it was easy as hell !! Overall,its a must have tool for security experts and noobs alike. You can download it from the link below,its a trial version. Download Black Widow [PS:You know how to get full versions..aint it? and if not,email me,I will give you the link..afterall,Knowledge is unbounded and free] Cheers and Keep Learning POSTED BY XERO.ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 
I earlier blogged about some cool google dorks to search around,but it required precision and a bit of memorising capability (which I suppose we all are lacking nowdays :P). Here comes the rescue tool for the lazy - Google Hacks is a compilation of carefully crafted Google searches that expose novel functionality from Google's search and map services. You can use it to view a timeline of your search results, view a map, search for music, search for books, and perform many other specific kinds of searches. You can also use this program to use Google as a proxy.As the website itself says,Google Hacks is A compact utility for several google hacks. Although its not good as the Gooscan-a far superior tool to scan for vulnerabilities in web,its well worth a try.
Google Hacks is well worth a shot,however I will be posting about better tools.You can download Google Hacks from the link given below
Download Google Hacks

Konami has launched the original Metal Gear Solid on PSN for $9.99.What Hideo Kojima created became a groundbreaking classic digital masterpiece by skillfully combining cinematic, fully voiced cut scenes with groundbreaking realitime 3D gameplay to deliver an all-new kind of genre that became known as tactical-espionage action. Plus, it was simply bad-ass. The first remake,Twin Snakes was ruined. It was still a good game, but no where near as good as the original. The voice acting was all re-done and none of the actors put in as much effort, a lot of the classic lines have no impact in that version, and many of the scenes have Snake performing Spider-man style flips and jumps which appear very out of place and just silly. Seriously, if you?ve never played this game, you gotta download this bad boy and check it out. One of the greatest games of all time. Period.Its simply deserves your time,I have played it for more than 10 times and I am still going strong for it,its that good,and no I am not a delirious fanboy of this game :P its just that good. Play or D!* :P [PS:Sorry for a late update,i was out of station :) ] POSTED BY XERO.ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.SOURCE- GT AND EPICBATTLE.
