15.10.2005Network Monitor 3 One Click Capture Tool - BETA Available
Wish you could get a network capture from a computer with no capture software installed? Wish you could have a network traffic "flight recorder" on
a USB key? Here's your answer!"
The motivation behind creating this tool was to provide an extremely simple way to get a trace
from an end user. And the name says it all, though maybe a small bit of false advertisement as it may take a bit more than just one click :). Once you
have it downloaded to your machine, you can launch the executable and it will lead you through some simple dialogs that install the tool and start a
trace. Once the trace is complete, which means it was manually stopped by the user or the default time of 2 hours have passed, a window will be opened
to the location for the capture, called OneClick.cap.
<...>
Obtaining the Tool
At this
point we are beta testing the tool. So the only means of getting it is on the Network Monitor project on
http://connect.microsoft.com. When you join the project, you will see both the Auto-run and Extract Only packages in the
download section. Once we release the tool, we will make it available on the Microsoft Download site as this is more convenient, which is our goal for
this tool.

This major update to Process Monitor adds real-time TCP and UDP monitoring to its existing process, thread, DLL, file system and registry
monitoring. You can now see the TCP and UDP activity processes performed, including the operation (e.g. connect, send, receive), local and remote IP
addresses and DNS names, and operation transfer lengths. On Windows Vista, Process Monitor also collects thread stacks for network
operations.

20.05.2009London to have satellites that monitor your speed
In a trial that can only be described as Big Brotherly, London is going is going to start trials of attempting to stop speeders from space. The
basic idea works around that the vehicles are equipped with information about speed limits for public roads. A satellite will monitor the speed of
the car vs. the pre-installed data to determine if the car is speeding. If the car is found to be speeding then one of two things can happen. The car
can either be slowed down by the satellite (voluntary mode) or the car can alert you that you need to slow down but won't actually adjust the
vehicles speed (advisory mode).

01.11.2005Microsoft Launching a Windows
Vista TFT Monitor
Widescreen 22in
display to make best use of
the operating system's
graphics.
Microsoft is
launching a computer monitor
that it claims will best show
the new functions and features
in its Vista operating
system.
The
software giant is working with
Samsung to build a
high-resolution, 22in
widescreen Vista Monitor,
which is due for release
around the same time as the
operating system.
Vista has been designed to
look best when using a
widescreen display, and
Microsoft wants to ensure that
as far as possible users take
advantage of this. By
producing a Microsoft-badged
monitor, it can promote
widescreen Vista use to those
who upgrade from Windows XP or
buy a new PC running the
operating system.
Samsung confirmed it
is working with Microsoft to
build the monitors. Ami
Randhawa, monitor product
manager at Samsung, said: ?The
demand is being driven by
Vista. It will be branded
Microsoft, but built by
Samsung.?
Microsoft was contacted, but
said: ?Microsoft does not
comment on rumour and
speculation.?

Goerge Orwell would be most amused to hear about the latest development in the EU. Ten countries of the European Union have agreed to help develop
computer programs that monitor the internet and CCTV images, according to Telegraph.co.uk . Just like in the novel ,1984, the EU's project aim is
to detect any abnormal behavior on forums, peer-to-peer networks and even individual computers. The ultimate goal is to try to presage possible
conflicts or acts of terror. Philip K. Dick, the author of Minority Report, would also be very amused. Project Indect is not only an attempt to
scour the internet for strange behavior, the European Union is calling for a more unified law-enforcement system, across the European states.

24.09.2009Vista Activation Cracked By Brute Force
Thanks to voidunknown
for submitting this to the
Front Page.
It
appears that Keznews forum
member Snooza has discovered a
method that effectively
obtains a Windows Vista key
which can then be activated.
The idea is a simple brute
force attack: the software
generates keys and when it
finds one, you manually have
to check if it activates. The
8-step method can take
anywhere from two minutes to
two days. Members of the forum
have verified the strategy and
claim it works. This technique
should worry Microsoft, not
because they are losing
customers to piracy again, but
because the customers who are
actually spending the money on
the latest Windows version may
start being unable to activate
the software with a legally
purchased key. It seems that
the main issue is time, and
with today's modern PCs, it
really isn't that much of a
problem. Evidently, pirates
would rather wait a couple of
hours, than go to work and
make the money needed to
purchase a legal copy. The
author of the article over at
Keznews has a disclaimer which
emphasizes that, " under no
circumstances should anyone
sell the key that they
generate. I do not support
Piracy, this was simply an
experiment in which i used to
practice my vbscripting. This
was just for fun and was a
complete accident! I strongly
encourage everyone to purchase
windows vista, and be a
genuine customer! "
That hasn't stopped
him from offering his crack as
a public download.

US$199.

19-21-inch market and will come with a built-in TV tuner. Pricing is set at US$499, compared to the iMac's price of US$1,199-2,299 and the XPS One's
price of US$1,499-2,399. E-Monitor will also be based on Intel's Shelton'08 platform and will be launched in September this year.
