Are you too old to hear this? Try the “Silent Ringtone”

I heard about this on the radio today: a “silent ringtone” which apparantly only the under 30’s can hear. It’s supposed to sound like a very high pitched phone ringing noise (personally, I can’t hear the phone ringing, but I can hear an awful high pitched noise!).

This “ringtone” is used as a deterrent to unwanted youth presence in places such as car parks and shopping centres in the UK.

You can download and listen to it for free here:

I’m told this may be a good ringtone for those in school who don’t want their teachers to know they have a phone in class! Let me know what (if anything) you can hear.

A blogger’s guide to HTML

Blogs are great: they are easily customised with templates and layouts; you don’t have to input code each time you want to make an entry; even links and images are coded for you automatically!

But there may be a time when you want to customise your blog personally: add something to the navbar; a colour-coded post; a photo album with thumbnails…

Knowledge of some basic html coding is a very useful tool for bloggers (and even for MySpace users too!). Web design programs are fine if you like to use them, but may prove somewhat tricky when trying to adapt code to paste into a layout or post. With a bit of html, you can easily transform your blog into something unique, interesting, and even easier to use. So here’s a quick guide to HTML code and links to useful sites where you can find out more:

A very brief guide to password cracking

We all understand the need to protect our private documents, accounts and files with strong passwords. But what can you do if you forget your pass phrase and can’t decrypt the file? Or perhaps your friend needs your expertise to crack that password for them…

In this brief guide, I’ll explain the concepts of password cracking and point you in the direction of sites and downloads which may be of help in such situations.

Useful blogging/web design tools

Here are some useful websites and tools I have come across while working on new projects. Perhaps they may be useful for you too!

Free unlocking software for your mobile phone

Why pay someone else to unlock your mobile phone when you can do it yourself for free? Here are a few links to some free unlock software available online.

Keyloggers: install, detect and remove

A keylogger is a computer program or hardware device that has the ability to record your keystrokes. It can record anything that you type, including your passwords, emails, credit card number, personal information, etc. Most keyloggers are invisible, so you won’t know if they are running on your system. In this post, I will briefly describe the two types of keyloggers, point you in the direction of free downloads, and explain how keyloggers can be detected and removed.

Download the Hacker’s Guide to GSM Phones

The Hacker’s Guide to GSM Phones by protonigger is a great read for those interested in exploiting GSM technology. Although quite dated now, it gives a great overview of GSM technology, including information about sim cards and an explaination of how mobile phones actually work.

A quick introduction to IRC (for those who don’t already use it!)

Quite recently, I have been introduced to Internet Relay Chat (IRC for short), which I have found to be a great way of chatting online to people all over the world.

Of course, many of you reading this post will already be familiar with IRC, but for those of you who are uninitiated, here is a brief guide, including links to IRC clients for different operating systems.

Free ringtones, logos and software

These days, advertisements for mobile software is everywhere you look: magazines, tv, radio, the web… These companies make a small fortune out of convincing the general public to pay for services which they could just as easily get for free

Free ringtones, logos and software

These days, advertisements for mobile software is everywhere you look: magazines, tv, radio, the web… These companies make a small fortune out of convincing the general public to pay for services which they could just as easily get for free.

So…

For those of you who don't know how to get free tones, logos, wallpaper and software for your mobile phones, here is an article for you!

This is what you will need:

1. Your mobile phone.
2. A PC with internet access.
3. Appropriate software for your handset. Most mobile phones come packaged with a software CD. If yours didn't, then check out the manufacturers' website, where you can usually download this for free. Alternatively, you could use Logomanager or Oxygen Phone Manager.
4. A means of connecting our handset to your PC (data cable, bluetooth, infra-red). If you don't already have any of these accessories, then data cables are probably the cheapest option. You can pick these up on Ebay for only a few pounds. Also, these can be used to unlock your handset to other networks.

Once you have all this together, it's time to get some free software! The best way to find this is to do a Google search for "free gsm software downloads" or something like that (this is one of the best websites I've found). Alternatively visit GSM Topsitez for quick links. Get what you want and save it to your PC.

With most software, you can drag and drop files into folders on your handset. Just remember to put things in the correct folders! Games may not work if they are dropped into the ringtones folder…

And there you go: it's as simple as that. Better still, it's completely free!

In the near future, I will be setting up a website which will feature many free GSM downloads, links and the like (as well as more Kunoichi stuff!). So if anyone out there is interested, or would like to help out, then send me an email. It would be much appreciated!

The importance of learning to hack…

The thing which taught me most about how to use my PC was learning how to hack. To the geeks out there, this will seem obvious, but I can imagine the general population to be aghast at this suggestion. For those of you out there who don't understand why hacking can be helpful to the average computer user, let me say this:

Learning to hack helps you understand entirely how your computer works, and most particularly, how to prevent it from being hacked into!

I am by no means a computer expert. Everything I do know has been self-taught, but for some strange reason, I am the one my friends and family turn to for help when their PC crashes or dies.

Most people I know don't even have anti-virus software installed! So for those of you who don't, here is a free anti-virus program which works just as well as Norton (and doesn't eat all your pocket money either!).

Aside from helping you learn all about your PC, hacking is actually quite fun! And no, you don't need to do anything illegal to learn all about it! Hacking isn't (nescessarily) about getting into the computer systems of major organisations and messing everything up! It can be as simple as changing the start-up screen on your computer, or the look and layout of your website.

Carolyn Meinel's Happy Hacker series is a great place to start learning. And if you already have problems with your PC, try Castlecops for free advice to help you get things right. Believe me, its far better to learn how to do this stuff yourself than pay a small fortune for someone else to do it for you!
