Is there anything more secured than a set of anonym tools on Linux (for that matter any flavour of it) and adding more glamour to it.. its a LiveCD.

Here is a list of LiveCDs with various flavor of Linux to guide you anonymously through WWW.

  • ELE               – Based on Damn Small Linux
  • Phantomix     – Based on Knoppix

Firefox sounds good with AllPeers

Posted by Prabhu Beeman on January 18, 2006

Now that AllPeers is in the fray, everything seems to go right for the Mozilla’s popular product – Firefox.

So what makes this AllPeers rock ?

It’s an extension that integrates the bittorrent technology.

Does that not sound really cool ?

Sure enough, it moves firefox into a realm that IE can only dream of at this instance.

It’s not live yet though.

P.S: Hearing this news for quite sometime now and not sure if it is yet another vaporware.

peanut butter sandwich!

Posted by Prabhu Beeman on January 12, 2006

pbwiki

peanut butter sandwich! is how pbwiki describes on creating a webpage. Wiki adds a new dimension to these webpages by allowing someone else to edit your page (ofcourse legitimate).

pbwiki helps you to do that without much effort: as easy as peanut butter sandwich.

Bit of BitTorrent

Posted by Prabhu Beeman on January 10, 2006

Its almost a year since I started using BitTorrent for downloading files. Thanks to the innovative protocol from Cohen.

Here is a bit on it.

There is no single point access to the file you are downloading. Rather it will be the users in the network who will be servicing your needs. You get fragments of the file from them and a file is said to completely downloaded when all the fragments are downloaded. As simple as that. The following reference would help you know more with all the technical jargon around.

If  you want to know more , you know what to do.
