Coming back

Have ignored and not blogged for a looong.. time. Wanna put an end to it. Tons of things have changed over the past x years.. and i back with a fresh start to my blogs.. Stay tuned.

Shanta Ram

Oh yes! i could never even think of not puttin Shanta Ram in the blog.

Grefory David Roberts he earned my respect, he bought me back to my old lost companion books. ShantaRam aka Lindsay, Abdhul Khadar Khan, Karla, Khaled, Prabhakar, Abdullah i lived thru them, i lived their lifes.

The flair the styles in the books makes u feel the same emotions the person in the book experienced. An excellet potrait of Bombay, Afghanisthan the political system, the society, INDIA is given through open words in the book. The temple of Standing Babas, GOA, the slum....

I would love to write the story in the book, but it would spoil those who havent read the book.

It is a book u must read and worth each and every penny.

And yeah the movie aint gonna be half as good.

Escalate

Hmm this is a trip or a part of my journey that i require a mention, called WAGAMON. I rate it 4 for style 4 for climate 4 for enjoyment, 5 for the adventure and another 5 for environment.

Covered and fogged in the mist we stood for around 40 mins at the top of a mountain not even able to move cause no one knows which is the dead end aloft a tall mountain.

The trip was good. Me binil, arjun , anoop and shiju started at 8 and headed straight for Motta Kunnu ( plain lands ) covered with grass. An half an hour halt which was initiated by a breech into the unguarded plain fields through a cut barbwire just opposite of the place where they sell tickets for entrance at 5Rs/-.

Next stop Pine Valley doped by the enchanting beauty of nature we spend quite a lots of time over there well a lotta time that we actually captured the movement of a small worm up a tree for over 20 + mins. After the shooting and pictures were taken we headed to the next destination.

Thangal Para and Kurishi Mala seemed a beautiful place to have lunch, eventhough we hoped mountain tops till a point we couldnt move. Then came suicide point which wasnt much of a suicidal experience.

Coming back and quick swim in the swimming pool of our Hoshanas Resort seemed pretti refreshing. A whole weekend friday , sat and sunday went like that
swoosh. Time flies when u r havin good time.

I will post all the pics up thru flicker once i get hold of it.

Linux to Hack Windows

Hmm havent added much techincal articles of late, so this is a new one.

I am not much of a fan of opensource linux, but these neat slax requires a mention. OPHCRACK can be used to recover your Xp or Vista password. I am adding a link for the live cd version. These cute slax based program when live wired mounts all your drives and shows you the windows OS installed in the machine and after selecting the partition shows the password of all the accounts for that OS.. nice rite pretti simple...

download from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=133599&use_mirror=superb-east&filename=ophcrack-livecd-1.2.2.iso&67538517

Back Track OS.. another cute linux that contains a tons of application for exploiting. I forgot the link for this OS
