I reminisce about my old blog freshme.at and the good and bad times of that era. I then complain about gigabyte and their long rma process. Basically a status update mixed with a blog post.

This article discusses the black art of SMTP spoofing. Granted, most email servers won’t allow this, but many still do and this explains exactly how it’s done. Often times, you may be running MyEnTunnel on your work computer with port 3389 (RDP) forwarded to a home computer on another port, say (4389). If you’ve tried this you know it doesn’t work. Maybe you don’t have another machine to use to run MyEntunnel, or you don’t have a Nix machine… Not a problem. Gmail now supports the IMAP protocol which means you can take all of your old mail from Comcast, SBC, Hotmail Or whatever other providers you use and conveniently aggregate them all in one location: Gmail. This is very cool, because Gmail’s servers are redundant, secure, provide ample space and are indexed very nicely which makes it easy to find all of your old messages. I had someone ask me how to set up Conference Rooms in exchange server in order to book them in Outlook 2003. The process is actually relatively simple. This article describes in detail how to tunnel through firewalls using SSh, allowing you to visit blocked pages, used blocked services, and encrypt your connection to ensure privacy. SSh tunneling is a great thing. It is my opinion that a lot of IT managers, namely those who have experience in small to mid sized companies and on the Microsoft platform are somewhat unaware of the implications. I started using it to access external resources from behind a firewall, but quickly realized that I could do remote port forwarding. Remote port forwarding was exciting, I could access a computer via VNC or Remote Desktop Connection from the outside of a firewall! The problem was that the connection was unstable, and SSh doesn’t just automatically reconnect. The solution is obviously an application which assumes control over SSh on the client side, so I thought I’d go over a few. SSh also has a dynamic proxy built in, so it’s great for surfing YouTube or social networking sites. |
