This month, I was thinking perhaps I would take you
through an interesting little application called PoPToP - which
offers a free and secure VPN solution for almost any sized business.

Just can't get enough of win.ini eh? well, micro$oft, being so good as to forget two vulnerabilities exposed by accessing the win.ini via dos before windows boots up, left a nice gap for hackers to explore and have fun...heh, heh. Now on to some mischief with its counterpart: the system.ini file.
Well, by now I'm sure you know how to edit win.ini, same thing with system.ini. Like so at dos:
C:>edit c:windowssystem.ini
Most people assume that while online they remain relatively anonymous. While this is a pleasant myth, it is just that, a myth. Whenever you connect to the internet you leave traces behind. Unless you take active measures to erase your electronic footprints, you can be tracked down, and not just to your IP address, but to your street address.
Some _basic_ information on things related to the Internet and networks.
This article is basically a collection of useful information gathered from
varied
sources. This article is in no way what so ever meant to be any kind of

The most secretive, yet most productive, application or
service on a Unix system is the daemon process. A daemon,
pronounced 'demon,' process is secretive because it runs
in the background, and often does not indicate its presence
in any significant way. Without it, most Unix systems
would cease to function. Programmers write daemons to carry
out a function with little or no intervention by users
or system administrators. In fact, many daemons require
no intervention at all!
Well - we've finally come out of hiding from the dark side of the moon to bring you guys Issue #7. I know a lot of people complained that Issue #6 was a total let down in the sense that it didn't have as many articles as previews issues and all that jazz. Well you need to understand that there's a prefectly good reason for that - we were working on redoing the site interface (the one you see now) and incorporating all the following new features (which you guys asked for actually).
