Yes! you can blog offline. With growing technology like Windows Live Writer blogging is no more limited to your dashboard. You can write, save and publish posts right from your computer without signing in your blogger account. Blogger HTML editor lacks many features when it comes to writing a good looking post. On contrary windows live writer is a software built by Microsoft Corporation which contains every feature that Blogger lacks.I hate blogging without Windows Live Writer! I am sure many bloggers would agree with me on this point.
Some of the things you can’t do with Blogger HTML editor are,
- You can not write HTML code just the way it looks in blogger editor because the code is interpreted as a command and blogger editor converts it to how it may look in a browser.
- You can’t resize an image to whatever size you like because you are provided with only three options i.e Small, Medium and Large size.
- The font type and font size is limited.
- You can not undo what you have done (Going backward).
- You can’t align images to the left or right of your intro paragraph.
- You can not add effects to your images, like shadow effect, rounded corners, emboss, blur etc.
- You can not post an image in its original size
- You can not insert tables in your posts because no table option exists
- You can not open a link in a new window unless you edit the HTML
- You can not add a world map to your posts
- And much more……………
Moreover your images can be displayed in two different ways look below,
Selecting the photo album option will display your images in a scattered style (with a view album link below your scattered images),

1>>Here we use the tool "Cain and Abel" for cracking passwords of any local user/administrator.
First download cain and abel from "http://www.oxid.it/cain.html" and install it on your system.
Make sure that you have disabled the antivirus/firewall running on your system before installing and throughout this process.
Two most effective techniques used here are "Brute-Force" and "Cryptanalysis".
Brute-Force:- As this techniques takes more time to complete, the attacker prefer this technique only when there is a hope that the password contain same type of characters or may be two. i.e only loweralpha, only alpha, only numeric or may be loweralpha-numeric, also it should contain less than 7 characters. Otherwise it takes more time to crack password, which may be the mixture of all types of characters along with special symbols.
The step-by-step explaination for this technique is given below-
1) Open the tool "Cain and Abel"
2) Go into the category "Cracker" it displays all sub-categories under "Cracker" in left panel.
3) Select "LM & NTLM Hashes" from left panel and then click on symbol, you will be greeted by a window as shown.
4) Check "import hashes from local system" and then click "Next". This shows all the active accounts on local system like administrator, guest, etc. along with LM and NT hashed values of their respective passwords, as shown below.
5) Right clicking on any username shows all available options using which we can crack it's password.
6) Here we select "Brute-Force Attack" and then "NTLM Hashes", since windows uses NTLM hashes to store local users' passwords.
7) You will be greeted by a window where you can modify properties for brute-force attack such as password length, character set, etc.
8) Click on "Start" button.
9) On completion it will reveal the exact password.

A new exploit for IE9 bypasses all security measures in even the latest fully patched version of Windows 7, according to a French security company Vupen. The exploit uses an unpatched zero-day vulnerability in Internet Explorer 9 and bypasses all the extra security measures of Windows 7. The latest version of Microsoft's operating system, fully up-to-date with service pack 1 (SP1), is vulnerable. The security hole was reported by the French security company Vupen, that previously discovered an IE8 vulnerability in December of last year.(MS11)
Vupen classifies the exploit for IE9 as reliable, which means it's an effective way for cyber attackers to run malicious code of their choosing on Windows 7 PCs. The exploit manages to break through Windows' additional security layers, such as ASLR, DEP and the sandbox (Protected Mode) in IE9.
"The exploit uses two distinct vulnerabilities. The first one allows execution of arbitrary code within the IE9 sandbox. The second one allows the bypass of the sandbox to achieve full code execution," Vupen's CEO Chaouki Bekra told Dutch IDG news site Webwereld.
The risk of this exploit so far is limited: exploit code has not been spotted in the wild. The vulnerabilities were discovered by researchers from Vupen, who made their own exploit. "We confirmed the exploitability of the vulnerability and we created a code execution exploit which works with Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 and Windows 7 SP1," Bekra said.
Bekra stressed that the vulnerabilities have not been publicly disclosed. "Access to our code and to the in-depth analysis of the vulnerability is restricted to our government customers who use the information to protect their critical infrastructures," he said.
IE9 is not much in use by governments or even companies. However, the vulnerability is not limited to the latest version of Microsoft's browser. The security hole is also present in IE8, 7 and 6, for which Vupen has not made a working exploit.
"The flaw affects Internet Explorer 9, 8, 7, and 6, and results from a use-after-free error within the 'mshtml.dll' library when processing a specific combination of HTML and JavaScript code." Vupen advises all IE users to disable JavaScript or use another Web browser which is not affected by the vulnerability.
Vupen's exploit code is only effective on IE9, which can run on Windows 7 and predecessor Windows Vista. IE9 has recently been released and is not yet being distributed through Windows Update. Microsoft will start that rollout in the coming weeks. An exact date for the wider distribution and installation of the latest Windows browser has not been disclosed.
IE9 currently has a market share of 3.6 percent amongst Windows 7 users, according to figures from market researcher NetApplications. Windows 7 itself has a global market share of nearly 25 percent. Windows XP still has a larger installed base.
Measured across all PC users IE9 has a market share of only 1.04 percent, reports NetApplications. Competitor StatCounter doesn't even show IE9 as a separate browser in its market share overview, but puts it in the category "other."

NetQin Mobile, one of the leading mobile security software providers has just announced that it has recently identified a new virus on Android devices. According to NetQin, the virus known as “MSO.PJApps” is said to be causing private data leaks and to secretly subscribe users to paid services.
It seems that the virus was repackaged into some of the most popular mobile applications available for download from an application download site in China.
As soon as the user installs the application containing the virus on his mobile device, “MSO.PJApps” will connect to certain sites and start sending text messages containing the mobile device's IMEI number, as well as other data to designated numbers controlled by a remote server,
Besides the above mentioned actions, the virus receives commands from the remote server to download and install software without user's permission, which may lead to unintended service subscription charges.
According to NetQin, “the "MSO.PJApps" virus is injected into legitimate mobile applications and modifies the application entry in Manifest.xml to add certain modules. It is activated in the background with a change in signal and when the relevant program starts automatically.”
“It encrypts the domain names of the site which is connected to. The virus author disguises the malicious URLs as being encrypted with BASE64, while the URLs are actually encrypted with an algorithm designed by himself,” concluded the Mobile Security Center of NetQin Mobile Inc.
The mobile software security developer that identified the virus also found a solution to the threat within 12 hours and updated its virus database to ensure that Android device users are protected against the intrusion.
Even though the virus seems to be limited to Chinese market for the moment, there's no telling if this spreads to other application markets

"BOHU"-Trojan to Disable Cloud-Based Antivirus
A recent blog entry from the Microsoft Malware Protection Center details information about a new malware (called Win32/Bohu.A) which is specifically designed to disable and mislead cloud-based antivirus software. Cloud-based antivirus software differs from traditional antivirus software in that the antivirus client (running on the PC) sends important threat data to a server for backend analysis, and subsequently receives further detection and removal instruction.
The Bohu Trojan originates in China where there is a predominate use of cloud-based antivirus software. Once a Windows based machine is infected the malware installs different network level filters to disrupt and block the antivirus client accessing the backend antivirus services on the Internet. As well as writing random data at the end of its key payload components to avoid hash-based detection, Bohu also installs a Windows Sockets service provider interface (SPI) filter to block the antivirus network traffic as well as a Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) filter. The NDIS filter then stops the antivirus client from uploading data to the server by looking for the server addresses in the data packets.

Priority Inbox
First of all, you told us that you love Priority Inbox and expect much better support for it on your phone. Now you can see important messages in a new Priority Inbox view.
This view includes all important messages in your inbox, regardless of whether you’ve read them or not. You can archive and delete conversations or mark them unimportant from there.
