 Some First Aid Tools |
 |
|
The following tools are designed for advanced computer user i.e. powerusers. If you are a poweruser have fun. If you are not a poweruser be very careful, if used improperlly your computer could be rendered useless.
FireFox:
First lets tighten down some browser features
Consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I also recommand the following add-ons for Firefox, they will help keep you safe from malicious scripts or activeX exploits.

| Bit Torrent Tutorials |
|
|
The first things you need to know about using Bit Torrent:
-- Bit Torrent is aimed at broadband users (or any connection better than dialup).
-- Sharing is highly appreciated, and sharing is what keeps bit torrent alive.
-- A bit torrent file (*.torrent) contains information about the piece structure of the download (more on this later)
-- The method of downloading is not your conventional type of download. Since downloads do not come in as one
big chunk, you are able to download from many people at once, increasing your download speeds. There may be
100 "pieces" to a file, or 20,000+ pieces, all depending on what you're downloading. Pieces are usually small (under 200kb)
-- The speeds are based upon people sharing as they download, and seeders. Seeders are people who constantly
share in order to keep torrents alive. Usually seeders are on fast connections (10mb or higher).

BandWidth Explained
Most hosting companies offer a variety of bandwidth options in their plans. So exactly what is bandwidth as it relates to web hosting? Put simply, bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet. The amount of bandwidth a hosting company can provide is determined by their network connections, both internal to their data center and external to the public internet.

| Anonymity |

I can see you hiding in the shadows over there and so can the logs of all the web sites, FTP servers and other nooks and crannies you visit on the web. The sort of information gathered by these logs and which is available to the webmasters of the sites you visit include the address of the previous site you visited, your IP address, your computer's ID name, your physical location and the name of your ISP along with less personal details such as the operating system you're using and your screen resolution. If someone was snooping through your dustbin to gather information on consumer trends or tracking your every move to see where it is you go everyday you wouldn't be too chuffed would you. Well the web is no different, it's still an invasion of privacy and a threat to security and you don't have to put up with it.

| All mIRC Commands |
|
|
IRC is an acronym for Internet Relay Chat, wikipedia has a great explanation for it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
In short, IRC is a way to connect with people around the world and chat online in what are called channels. There are thousands of channels to choose from and lots of fun. As and IT professional it is vital for me to use to keep up with the ever evolving technology.
To really simplify IRC is to think of it like your web browser, your web browser enables you to get on or enter the world wide web. You will need a tool to enter or get on IRC Channels. The tool I like to use and that is most popular is a tool called mIRC. It is free to use and has tons of features. You can download it from the mIRC website here.
I have also included a mIRC Command CheatSheet, click the read more below to see the full list. Credits are at the bottom of this article.
