Hi There,

I am really thrilled to be upgrading my system to Kali Linux! For noobs, this is the latest and the greatest that Backtrack has to offer!

I wanted some place where I could remember all the advanced operators, so that it's easy for me to use them from this place on. So, this is the list I will be coming back to, every now and then...

1. intitle - helps to find strings in the page title. Can be used with other operators - allintitle is a variant
2. inurl - helps find strings in the URL. Can be used with other operators - from now on, this is the default, so i will specify only if the operator needs to be…

When we do a Google search, we dont bother to use any of the Google Advanced Operators. But using them can help provide very good result sets which sometimes cant be obtained by using just basic search.

It was our wedding anniversary recently and I bought my wife a brand new iPhone 5 as an anniversary present. She on the other hand gave me her old Samsung Note 2 as my gift :o( But honestly, I wanted it so she gave it )

I have been an avid researcher on the iphone and can handle almost any situation, from jail breaking it to installing cydia, getting SBSettings and tweaking the settings etc etc. But I have been a complete idiot when it came to Android. So, when I got this…

The scenario is to walk up to a stranger and engage them in a conversation that can lead them to provide the information you need. How can we achieve this?

1. Introduce a time constraint: When you meet up with a stranger and want to talk, immediately upon introducing, if you look at your watch and say something like "I just have 5 minutes with me" or any other thing which tells them that you have limited time, they will be more ready to speak to you

I somehow seem to forget my processor capability, 32 or 64 bit, each and every time...

But did you notice, this is something we need whenever we plan on installing an application, whether on Windows or Linux or Mac? There will be multiple sets of downloads and we are left to decide to download and install the correct one... 32 or 64 bit! So, what's the easiest way to achieve this?

Windows:

Most of my team members have a problem in understanding Nmap and all it's parameters. Since they are all seasoned security experts, it skipped my mind to teach them basic nmap scanning techniques.

But during our one-on-one session, one commong thing I got from most of the team is they wanted to understand nmap a little better. So I did a training session for them which I try to repeat here:
