4 Ways to Crack a Facebook Password and How to Protect Yourself from Them

Despite the security concerns that have plagued Facebook for years, most people are sticking around and new members keep on joining. This has led Facebook to break records numbers with over one billion active users as of October 2012—and around 600 million active daily users.
We share our lives on Facebook. We share our birthdays and our anniversaries. We share our vacation plans and locations. We share the births of our sons and the deaths of our fathers. We share our most cherished moments and our most painful thoughts. We divulge every aspect of our lives. We even clamor to see the latest versions even before they're ready for primetime.

How To Recover An Unsaved MS Word 2010 Document In Seconds

The general consensus is that most mishaps on our working with computers occur because of carelessness and an itchy trigger happy finger. It’s a bitter lesson that’s taught to us while working on documents like MS Word, MS Excel, or any other like MS PowerPoint. The lesson says – save and save early.
Even with the right MS Office etiquette in place, documents disappear from the screen before you can save them. The notorious Windows system crash or your house power on the blink could cause you to lose your work before you can click on save. Lot of times we also tend to close an unsaved document after taking a printout. So, how can you recover that unsaved MS Office document and restore your work (and also save yourself from a hair-tearing apoplectic attack)?


We turn to a little Microsoft Office 2010 feature that lets us recover document drafts in a second.

Know the basic Router Configurations


Networking Practices  
1.       Objective: after this session, a student should be able to
a.       Apply as a main theme sub-netting (sub-netting, variable length sub-netting and super-netting)
b.      Learn and practically use commands in configuration of networking devices.
c.       Configure routers, switches, hubs and computer nodes using packet tracer
d.      Add and removing interfaces from router
e.      To connect dissimilar and similar network devices
2.       Physical tools
a.       Routers 3pcs
b.      Switches 3pcs
c.       Server 1pcs
d.      Laptops or desktops 5pcs
e.      Copper Straight through cables (UTP or STP)
f.        DCE cables
3.       Logical tools
a.       IP address 1pc-------->we can use 192.168.10.0
NB: all these tools are available in the packet tracer so worry not

4.       Activities sequence:
a.       Open your packet tracer window and you will see the window shown in fig 1.  Steps on the start –all program-cisco packet tracer- Cisco Packet Tracer

Fig 1
b.      At the bottom-left where you see a panel rectangle written Routers, above and below it are devices you can use in setting a network. These devices are either layer 1, 2 or 3 of the OSI model. Adjacent to the right is a panel that gives you different types of devices in the same category. Drag two generic Router PT to the whitish panel as shown in fig 2

Fig 2
c.       Click connections and the panel changes as in fig 3

fig 3

d.      Click serial DCE and then click router-PT Router 0. A menu appears as shown in fig4. 
fig 4
Connect it to the serial 2/0. Click again the router-PT Router 1 and connect it to the serial 2/0. Add another router so it appear as fig 5 shows.

Fig 5

e.      Click switches and select 2950T switch and connect them with copper straight through which is thick bold when u click connections. Your work should appear as shown in fig6

Fig 6

f.        Each connection from a router to a switch or router to router is a network (sub-network). Click on the end devices and you will see PC PT (Desktop), laptop PT (laptops), server etc. Add two Desktop or laptop in each switch using the previous procedure so that your work should appear as in fig7. NB you can add as many PCs as the given swatches’ interfaces but for simplicity use two.

Fig 7
g.       Now you have your network layout of fig 7. The next step is to configure the routers to communicate. The first thing is to determine how you are going to sub-net your IP address (192.168.10.0) to be able to work for all subnets. Looking at fig 7, we have six networks (sub networks). The subject of sub-netting was covered intensively in the class, so we just apply here. Having six subnets, we need to at least have six or more sub-netted set of address from (192.168.10.0). So by borrowing 3 bit as the network portion we can satisfy our needs. This leaves us with at most 32 ip addresses for each network and so 30 useable ip addresses.
These are:
192.168.10.0----->192.168.10.31
192.168.10.32----->192.168.10.63
192.168.10.64----->192.168.10.95
192.168.10.96----->192.168.10.127
192.168.10.128----->192.168.10.159
192.168.10.160----->192.168.10.191
192.168.10.192----->192.168.10.224
192.168.10.225----->192.168.10.255
Though the first and last subnet can mod ified and get used we leave that subject here and work out with the six left as follows
192.168.10.32----->192.168.10.63
192.168.10.64----->192.168.10.95
192.168.10.96----->192.168.10.127
192.168.10.128----->192.168.10.159
192.168.10.160----->192.168.10.191
192.168.10.192----->192.168.10.224
We assign as follow:
192.168.10.32----->192.168.10.63 to router 0 and router 1
192.168.10.64----->192.168.10.95 to router 0 and router 2
192.168.10.96----->192.168.10.127 to router 1 and router 2
192.168.10.128----->192.168.10.159 to router 0 and switch 0 and its PCs
192.168.10.160----->192.168.10.191 to router 1 and switch 2 and its PCs
192.168.10.192----->192.168.10.224 to router 2 and switch 1 and its PCs

Now already we have our sub-netted ip addresses and assigned to the respective networks
h.      Now click on router 0 and a pop window appears as in fig 8. Click on CLI (command line interface for the router 0). The pop up window changes as in fig 9. The press enter/return key from your keyboard.

Fig 8

Fig 9
i.         Enter the following commands: inside double quotes, commands are bolded and parameter are in italic. After each command press enter/return key so that it takes effect.
1. “enable” to enter privilege mode. In this mode if you need any help, just press “?” from your keyboard which list all available commands.
2. “configure terminal” to enter global configuration mode.
3. “Interface serial 2/0” to enter interface serial 2/0 which connect this router to router 1
4. “Ip address 192.168.10.33 255.255.255.224” to assign this interface the first ip address from its sub-netted range. And remember 255.255.255.224 is a subnet mask.
5. “Clock rate  56000“ setting clock rate.
6. “no shutdown”
7. “exit” to exit the interface
8. “router rip” to enter touting protocol and for this case we’ve chosen Rooting Information Protocol, other are EIGRP etc.
9. “Version 2” to set rip to version two.
10.         “network 192.168.10.32
11.         “exit”
12.         “exit”
13.         “exit”

j.        We are done with configuring interface serial 2/0 of router 0. Repeat the same procedures for router 1 to configure interface serial 2/0  by assigning it ip 192.168.10.34 bacause it is the same network.
k.       Then return to router 0 and do the same for interface serial 3/0, but this is another network and remember we gave it “192.168.10.64----->192.168.10.95 to router 0 and router 2” in step G, so our first ip address is 192.168.10.65 which can be assigned to this interface. Repeat for interface serial 2/0 of router 2 by giving it ip address 192.168.10.66 since they are in the same network
l.         Lastly repeat the procedure in router 2 for interface 3/0 and router 1 for interface 3/0 which is in “192.168.10.96----->192.168.10.127 to router 1 and router”. By doing it correctly all the router will be able to communicate indicated by the green color instead of the brown. See fig 10 below. If the green light doesn’t appear, repeat the procedure carefully.


F ig 10
m.    Now we need to configure our fast Ethernet interfaces from each router which connect the router to the workstation connected through the switch. Repeat procedure in step “I” as follow: click router 0 and go to the command line:
                                       i.      “enable” to enter privilege mode. In this mode if you need any help, just press “?” from your keyboard which list all available commands.
                                    ii.      “configure terminal” to enter global configuration mode.
                                  iii.      “Interface fastethernet 0/0” to enter interface fastethernet 0/0 which connect this router to switch 0
                                   iv.      “Ip address 192.168.10.129 255.255.255.224” to assign this interface the first ip address from its sub-netted range. And remember 255.255.255.224 is a subnet mask.
                                     v.       “no shutdown”
                                   vi.      “exit” to exit the interface
                                 vii.       “exit”
                               viii.      “exit”
The interface will soon change to green indicating it is correctly configured and ready for communication. But we also need to assign computers in this network ip addresses so that they can communicate with the router and there self through the switch. Remember the gate way is the ip address assigned to the router and in this case it is 192.168.10.129 for this network and each interface of a router whether is a serial or fastethernet connect to a different network.



n.      Configuring desktop.
1. Click desktop/server/laptop etc whatever end device is attached to the switch/hub in the respective network. The window in fig 11 appears. Fig 11

Click config and the window will change as seen in fig 12.
Fig 12

Set gatway to the ip address of the fastethernet interface connected to this network and for this case 192.168.10.129, fig13 shows this


Fig 13

Click fast Ethernetnet and the window in fig 14 below appears. Here assign ip addresses in the range this network is given. Any ip address in this range is valid but it will be wiser to use them in ascending order.
Fig 14

Repeat these procedures for each fastethernet in the router and its associated workstations. Your network will entirely light green and you can send pact to any workstation. Fig 15 depicts this

Fig 15

Congratulation now you are able to set up entirely your own network.

How does Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) works

The objective of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is to transfer mail reliably and efficiently.
 An important feature of SMTP is its capability to relay mail across transport service environments.  A transport service provides an interprocess communication environment (IPCE).  An IPCE may cover one network, several networks, or a subset of a network. 
It is important to realize that transport systems (or IPCEs) are not one-to-one with networks.  A process can communicate directly with another process through any mutually known IPCE.  Mail is an application or use of interprocess communication.  Mail can be communicated between processes in different IPCEs by relaying through a process connected to two (or more) IPCEs.  More specifically, mail can be relayed between hosts on different transport systems by a host on both transport systems.

Access your computer remotely

With Remote Desktop Connection, you can connect to a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that's connected to the same network or to the Internet. For example, you can use all of your work computer's programs, files, and network resources from your home computer, and it's just like you're sitting in front of your computer at work.
To connect to a remote computer, that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled, you must have network access to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. For permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. Before you start a connection, it's a good idea to look up the name of the computer you're connecting to and to make sure Remote Desktop connections are allowed through its firewall.
If you're user account doesn't require a password to sign in, you'll need to add a password before you're allowed to start a connection with a remote computer.
Watch this video to learn how to connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
