Omziff | Encryption Download | PC World
Omziff | Encryption Download | PC World: "To encrypt a single file, it doesn't get much more straightforward than Omziff. Point it at a text file, choose an encryption type, and tell it what to call the resultant encrypted file. Choose a password if you want, then click the Encrypt button.
To decrypt the file, you'll need to reverse the process. Point it at the encrypted file and click the Decrypt button. It's a basic process that could benefit from a small frill or two, such as remembering the original filename and auto-filling that name when you want to decrypt a file (you have to provide a name for the decrypted file). But the utility doesn't even require installation--just double-click the .exe file--and it can easily run from a USB drive.
Omziff can use Blowfish, Cast128, Gost, IDEA, and Misty1 encryption, along with Rijndael and Twofish.
Omziff performs a few other file tasks, such as digitally shredding a file or splitting it into smaller pieces that can later be reassembled. It can also generate passwords or create file hashes, which are typically used to verify that a file hasn't been tampered with."

File Shredder
File Shredder n order to remove, or shred files permanently from your system you have to use a program that is capable of rewriting the files with random series of binary data multiple times. This process is often called shredding. That way, the actual content of the file has been overwritten and the possibilities to recover such a shredded file are mostly theoretical.
File Shredder has been developed as fast, safe and reliable tool to shred company files. The author of this program released it free under GNU licence and you are welcome to download File Shredder and use it without any restrictions.

How To Get Data Off A Dead Hard Drive
Posted: 10 Aug 2009 01:01 PM PDT
inaccessible_boot_device
It happens to us all, sooner or later. We boot up our computer and *BAM* that’s it. Blue screen of death (BSOD). The hard drive has failed. But the baby shower pictures are on there! But my doctoral thesis is on there! But my fan fiction of Harry Potter Meets Captain Kirk is on there! But you’ve been making regular backups, right?
Fear not. You may be able to learn how to get data off a dead hard drive, all by yourself. Now a word of warning, if the hard drive has already physically failed and the disks in it won’t spin, then there isn’t much you can do but contact a data recovery specialist. I suppose you could order an identical hard drive via eBay and carefully take the platters out and put them into the new hard drive. However, if you are that technically inclined, this article is way beneath you!
If you get a BSOD then something may have happened to make your hard drive not boot, or start the operating system. This could be because of a faulty hard drive driver (the software that tells the computer how to use the hard drive) or it could be because of a loose connection. If you feel adventurous, you could check to make sure the connection is good inside the computer.
With some luck, that won’t be the case. If your computer continues on to give you some start up options in white text on a black screen, try choosing Last Known Good Configuration. That will start the computer into a backed-up version of Windows when life was good. It may be missing some recently added files and settings, but at least you’ll get the majority of your work back. At this point, it would be a good idea to perform a ScanDisk or CheckDisk task.
windows_advanced_options_menu
Your computer doesn’t take you to the start-up options page? Hmmm. Well, what you can do is try booting your computer from the Windows disk that came with your computer. Hopefully you have that still.
You may need to go into your BIOS settings and change the start-up disk setting to CD-ROM Drive.
Once your computer boots into the Windows disk,you’ll have some options. One of them will be the Recovery Console. Choose that by pressing the R key.
repair_console_screen
Chances are you only have one installation of Windows on your computer, so that’s the installation you’ll choose to work with.
When asked for your Administrator’s password, enter it and continue. If you didn’t set up an Administrator’s password, just hit enter to continue.
Now, you’ll be presented with a black screen with white text. At the prompt, type chkdsk /r. What this does is run the Check Disk utility on the hard drive and repairs any problems it might find. If this does the trick, your computer will reboot and work fine. Note, however, that now would be a VERY good time to make a back up of your hard drive and look into buying a new one. If this happens again, you’ll be very lucky to recover it once more.
If that doesn’t work, boot into the Recovery console again. There are two other commands you may want to try: Fixboot,which rewrites the startup sector on your hard drive, and Fixmbr, which repairs the Master Boot Record.
Those are pretty advanced commands to use, so you may not want to run them. Run at your own risk, is all I can say.
There is also a device you can buy, which is pretty inexpensive, that allows you take your hard drive, connect it to this device, and then plug it into the USB port of another computer.This does require you to remove your hard drive from its current computer.
SCSI_to_USB_adapter *
What happens is that the computer you plugged it into, treats it as a slave drive. That means that it doesn’t need to access the operating system, so you should be able to transfer over your files from the failing hard drive. The defunct hard drive shows up as an external USB drive in Window’s Explorer so you can simply drag and drop from it.

Netflix, with its neat little packets of DVDs, is running a national parcel distribution service on a massive scale, aided by the fast-crumbling U.S. Postal Service. So why doesn't Netflix buy-up the U.S.P.S and revolutionize it?"

Checking YOUR PC ports
1. Open a cmd window (start, run, "cmd")
2. Type: netstat -a | find "LISTENING"
Which gives you something like this.
The PORT numbers in this example include 8880, 53100, etc.
TCP ANTEC:epmap ANTEC:0 LISTENING
TCP ANTEC:microsoft-ds ANTEC:0 LISTENING
TCP ANTEC:8880 ANTEC:0 LISTENING
TCP ANTEC:53100 ANTEC:0 LISTENING
TCP ANTEC:1036 ANTEC:0 LISTENING
TCP ANTEC:12080 ANTEC:0 LISTENING
TCP ANTEC:netbios-ssn ANTEC:0 LISTENING
You can also PIPE the command into a file with this command:
netstat -an |find /i "listening" > c:'openports.txt
3. Download TCPView v. 2.33 from Sysinternals < http://www.petri.co.il/software/tcpview233.zip > Unzip it and run it.
4. In the first column when running TCPView (Processes), right click on process and then click on process properties to see information about the process using the port.
After you right click on it. You can see that the process service.
All this worked easily and quickly for me yesterday, when doing a little detective work.

Why Teens Don’t Tweet
Why Teens Don’t Tweet
Teenagers are notorious for being terrible at social engagement, voting, and keeping up with the news. While I don’t want to typecast an entire age demographic, I can say this with confidence: Teens, more than any other age group, care about their friends. It’s the continuation of real-life friendship (and the creation of online ones) that has driven the tremendous growth of MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, etc. It’s about the social graph. That’s why more than 50 percent of Facebook users are under 25, even while older users are joining quickly. We even highlighted these points in When Do You Use Twitter Versus Facebook?
But Twitter is far less about the social graph than it is about the overall conversation surrounding an item. Retweets are about sharing items and @replies are about allowing the public to be part of a conversation you’re having with someone. If you just follow your friends on Twitter, you will barely be using it. A lot of the value comes from following interesting people and celebrities.
Here’s the other problem that I’ve heard consistently: teenagers have nothing to say on Twitter. Twitter is a huge promotional tool – for businesses, for bloggers, for self-described experts – but teenagers aren’t as concerned with these things as a whole. Only the most ambitious teenagers start businesses, and most are worried about school, not about becoming recognized as an expert in his or her space. If they want to update friends on their cereal or their lives, Facebook’s far more effective.
