Running Multiple Instances of Google Talk

Open Multiple Gtalk Instances
First find out where your GTalk is installed. This would usually be:

C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe

Once you have found out where your Google Talk is,
• create a short cut by right clicking on your desktop and choosing Shortcut
• Browse and choose the location of the file and add “/nomutex” in the end of the location. So your path looks like this
“C:\Program%20Files\Google\Google%20Talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex


That’s it. Now click on your usual link to open GTalk. After you open it, log into it. Now click on the new shortcut that you created to open the second Google Talk.

Insert Images into Your Gmail Messages

Well, it's around 3am . one of my frd asked how to insert image in gmail  

Solution: To put images into your messages or attach images  want to inline them. Just turn on "Inserting images" from the Labs tab under Settings

Make sure you're in rich formatting mode, or it won't show up. Click the little image icon, and you can insert images in two ways: by uploading image files from your computer or providing image URLs.

Gmail doesn't show URL-based images in messages by default to protect you from spammers, so if you're sending mail to other Gmail users, they'll still have to click "Display images below" or "Always display images from ..." to see images you embed.

Compile Linux kernel 2.6

Step # 1 Get Latest Linux kernel code

Visit http://kernel.org/ and download the latest source code. File name would be linux-x.y.z.tar.bz2, where x.y.z is actual version number.

root@asheesh#cd /tmp
root@asheesh#wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-x.y.z.tar.bz2


Step # 2 Extract tar (.tar.bz2) file

root@asheesh# tar -xjvf linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
root@asheesh# cd /usr/src


Step # 3 Configure kernel
root@asheesh# apt-get install gcc (if gcc is not installed)
root@asheesh#make menuconfig

Step # 4 Compile kernel

Start compiling to create a compressed kernel image
root@asheesh# make

Start compiling to kernel modules:
root@asheesh# make modules
root@asheesh#make modules_install

Step # 5 Install kernel

Compiled kernel and installed kernel modules.
root@asheesh#make install

Step # 6: Create an initrd image

Type the following command at a shell prompt:
root@asheesh# cd /boot
root@asheesh# mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.37 2.6.37


Step # 7 Modify Grub configuration file
- /boot/grub/menu.lst (before Edit Please take backup)

Open file using vi or gedit:
root@asheesh# vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.25 Default
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25
savedefault
boot



Remember to setup correct root=/dev/hdXX device. Save and close the file. If you think editing and writing all lines by hand 
is too much for you, try out update-grub command to update the lines for each kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Just type 

the command:
root@asheesh#update-grub



Step # 8 : Reboot computer and boot into your new kernel
root@asheesh# reboot

Problem in Installation - Armitage

Problem while Connection Mysql Database

solution

1)msf > db_driver

2)msf > db_driver mysql

3)root@bt:/pentest/exploits/framework3# mysql -u root -p

4)mysql> CREATE USER msf3@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'test';

5)mysql> CREATE DATABASE msf3;

6)mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON msf3.* TO msf3@localhost;


Another Problem while Installing if you are using sqlite3
then

root@bt:/pentest/exploits/armitage# ./armitage.sh

password is blank i.e

DB Connect String -

Armitage Setup

To install Armitage in BackTrack,

1)root@bt:~# apt-get update

2)root@bt:~# apt-get install armitage

3)root@bt:~# msfrpcd -f -U msf -P test -t Basic

4)root@bt:~# /etc/init.d/mysql start



5)root@bt:/pentest/exploits/armitage# ./armitage.sh


In BackTrack, the default MYSQL credentials are root / toor and for PostgreSQL,
if using sqlite3 credential is blank password

6)select the "Use SSL" checkbox, verify the rest of the settings and click "Connect".
