  1. Secure Password Manager on 'Extreme Security' Web Browsing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nothing is as secure as your own memory..

    Let us understand the flaws of this guys "grand" idea:-
    1 - There is no as such a absolutely secure browser, there is no stealth mode even if you are on it how are you going to log into an account?.(Every one has holes too;)
    2 - Browse without "Anonymous" proxy and your IP is advertised, i.e.. your system is out in the open..(Like someone mentioned - Keyloggers,trojan.. many many others can evade)
    3 - There are always SBS(Some Bloody Software) trying to open ports for pirates.
    4 - In an era of high bandwidth internet where is the wait to guess what's wrong with a computer.( scan it all )

    Now..

    Think, why do you have brains?
    Can it keep secrets?
    Can you trust it?

    1- Remember and Type all your passwords & user id's- its tough if you are used to someone else remembering the password for you, its proven good for your brain..
    2- Accept cookies from sites you trust ( avoid inter-site tracking cookies )
    3- Keep no cache memory
    4- Use ssl login whenever possible. (https://mail.google.com/mail/)
    5- Use a browser without susceptible addons
    6- Hide your WAN IP. ( google "anonymous browsing" )
    7- Try to even remember your account numbers ( After a while it dissolves )

    Give it a thought.

    1) About the ports that are used by GnomeMeeting and Netmeeting.

    * What ports does GnomeMeeting use for H.323 if H.245 Tunneling is
    enabled?

    - 1720 TCP for the H.225 and H.245 Channels
    - Random UDP port for audio (it will take the first free port above
    5000)
    - Random UDP port for video (it will take the first free port above
    5000)

    Those ports are used for incoming calls, i.e. if you receive an incoming
    call from a GnomeMeeting user using H.245 Tunneling, that remote
    GnomeMeeting will open those ports.

    If the user doesn't use H.245 Tunneling for some reason, another random
    TCP port will be used for the H.245 Channel.

    If the user uses H.245 Tunneling (the default in the preferences), it is
    enough to allow TCP port 1720 and UDP ports 5000-5004 on your firewall
    (for a single call).

    * What ports does Netmeeting use for H.323?

    - 1720 TCP for the H.225 Channel
    - Random TCP port for the H.245 Channel (Netmeeting doesn't support
    H.245 Tunneling)
    - Random UDP port for audio
    - Random UDP port for video

    That is for incoming calls, i.e. if you receive an incoming call from a
    Netmeeting user, that remote Netmeeting will use those ports. Most of
    them are totally random, so if you want a secure firewall, you will have
    to forget about the idea to be able to be called by remote Netmeeting
    users.

    "H.323" gnomemeeting is it gona be a security threat

    H.323 is more complicated than other protocols because it uses two tcp connections and several UDP sessions from a single "call".Only one of the tcp connections goes to a well known port; all the other ports are negotiated and thus temporary. Furthermore the content of the streams is far more difficult for firewall to understand than existing protocols, becuase h.323 encodes packets using Abstract Syntax Notation (ASN.1)

    1. 5.6. Is it possible to change the volumes for recording and playing when using a Quicknet device?

    2. Yes, you can simply do it like you would change your soundcard volumes in the "Audio" section of the "Control Panel" accessible through the "View" menu. >> u can adjust ur volume using ur speaker or headset volume control

  9. Re:Kazaa vs eMule on Shutting down Kazaa · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since giFT is still under heavy development, there are no "current" released files. The old releases that are available are basically not the same project, simply using the same name. After jasta "tookover" development, the project has significantly shifted in direction and has made no formal public releases since then. This is due to the extremely volatile nature of the project and we feel it would be best to withhold releases until some more APIs and protocol specifications mature and eventually freeze.
    However, with that said, we still do provide the old giFT releases for educational purposes. Please note that the old giFT used to connect to FastTrack, but due to changes made on FastTrack's part, the client was kicked off the network and thus currently cannot connect. The modern giFT now utilizes an open source reintrepetation of FastTrack's ideas.
