world's fastest data transmission

Scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have achieved the world’s fastest data transmission at 26 terabits per second (Tbps), using a single laser, over a 50km fibre.with low energy consumption.



it's fast enough to transfer the entire Library of Congress in ten seconds.

"this is the largest line rate ever encoded onto a single light source,” said the scientists in the journal Nature Photonics.

According to ZDNet, the experiment used a single laser to create a long range of pulses, which are known as ‘frequency combs’.



These pulses were then magnified into 325 colour channels via a method called ‘inverse fast Fourier transform,’ before being sent down a 50km cable. Once it reached the other end, an optical fast Fourier transform encoded it back into data.

According to a co-author of the journal Wolfgang Freude,However, the 26 Tbps data transfer is not actually the fastest.
“Already a 100 terabits per second experiment has been demonstrated,” he said, adding that this required 370 lasers, which is highly expensive.

world's fastest supercomputer.."K"

A supercomputer being produced by Fujitsu at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science campus in Kobe, Japan In June 2011, It is expected to become fully operational in November 2012.
it is located at bulding of RIKEN campus is shown below image.



RIKEN reported that K had become the first supercomputer to exceed 10 petaflops, achieving a LINPACK performance of 10.51 quadrillion computations per second.


As of the November 2011 TOP500 list,

it uses 68,544 2.0GHz 8-core SPARC64 VIIIfx processors packed in 672 cabinets,

for a total of 548,352 cores,

manufactured by Fujitsu with 45 nm CMOS process technology.


Each cabinet contains 96 compute nodes in addition to 6 IO nodes. Each compute node contains a single processor and 16 GB of memory.



the K computer's performance equals "one million linked desktop computers"

The computer's annual running costs are estimated at US$10 million.

The system is still under construction and is scheduled to enter full service in November 2012 with 864 cabinets.

How to Create a folder named "CON" in Windows

you can't create a folder named “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc. in windows.

What is the reason for this? Simple, these names represent the internal devices and hence we cannot create folders with the above names.

but it is possible to create these folder using command prompt...

If you want to create then do following.

1)  Go to command prompt

2)  now if you want to create folder in D: drive then type following command in prompt :

        md \\.\d:\con










here “con” can be replaced by any other names such as “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1"....

4) now if you want to delete this folder..

     rd \\.\d:\con  

The folder can only be removed from command prompt.




create bootable Pendrive to install Windows 7

Here is a small and working tutorial to install windows 7 from a bootable USB or Pendrive.
These days most of them have a USB or Pendrive.
So why don’t you try this trick.
Installing Windows 7 using a pendrive is very much faster than that from DVD/CD.
You just need to follow some small steps to do this.
You can keep this pendrive/USB drive for future installation of Windows 7.

Make sure you have a Pendrive or USB drive with a minimum of 4 GB space and you have the Windows 7 installation DVD.

1. Format the Pendrive or USB drive in NTFS format first.

2. From the start menu right click on the command prompt and select “Run as administrator“.

3. Now type the following commands (Press enter key after each command).

4. diskpart. This is to open the disk partition program.

5. Now to show the list of drives type list disk.

6. You can see disk’s listed there. Note down the disk number of your pendrive eg. Disk .

7. Now type SELECT DISK X (where X is the number you noted down for the pendrive from step 5)

8. Now type CLEAN.

9. Now type the following commands by pressing enter after each one.

10. CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

11. SELECT PARTITION 1 (Assuming your pendrive/ USB drive is 1).

12. ACTIVE

13. FORMAT FS=NTFS

14. ASSIGN

15. EXIT(Now the disk partition program will exit).

Now we need to give some more commands

16. Now insert the Windows 7 Installation DVD and to your DVD drive.

17. Here i am assuming DVD drive as G and Pendrive as I.(Change it accordingly).

18. Now type G:CD BOOT

19. Now type this command BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 I: to update your USB drive with bootmgr code.

20. Finally copy all the contents from the Windows 7 DVD to your Pendrive. Make sure you don’t cause any       errors.

21. Plug / Insert your pendrive to your PC and restart the system.

22. Now Enter the Bios system accordingly by pressing the key delete.(This may vary some times it will  be      F2 or F12. It depends on the type of your system. Any how during the start up your system will display          which  key to press to enter the Bios).

23. Now select the USB/ Pendrive as the first boot driver.(Set the first boot priority to USB drive.).

24. Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install Windows 7 using that pendrive.

What is "web spoofing"?

Web Spoofing is Tricking Someone into visiting a Website other than one they intend to visit ,by creating a similar website.
The attacker must somehow lure the victim into the attacker’s false web.
There are several ways to do this.

STEP  1:
  1. A Phisher could insert a malicious script inside a product review to attack the user.
  2. The Script would modify the host site so that the user believes he/she is interacting with secure site.
  3. This technique is also called as  “Cross Scripting.”
Step : 2 :Rewriting the URL:
  1. Assuming the attacker’s server is on the machine www.attacker.org, the attacker rewrites a URL  by adding http://www.attacker.org to the front of the URL.
  2. Example:
  3. http://home.netscape.com                                                                                                        www.attacker.com/http://home.netscape.com
    STEP:3
    1. Once the attacker’s server has fetched the real document needed to satisfy the request, the attacker rewrites all of the URLs in the document
    2. Then the attacker’s server provides the rewritten page to the victim’s browser.
    3. If the victim follows a link on the new page, the victim remains trapped in the attacker’s false web.
    its working is shown as above..

    How to set minimum password length in windows os

    By default Windows accepts both short and long passwords as the Windows login password. Some users use extremely short passwords, which can easily be brute forced. So in order to set the minimum number of characters or the minimum length of the password, simply follow the following registry trick-:

    1. Launch the Windows Registry Editor i.e. c:\windows\regedit.exe

    2. Scroll down to the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network

    3. Click on Edit > New DWORD Value.
    Name this new DWORD value as MinPwdLen and in the data field, enter the minimum number of characters the password has to be of. One thing to note here is that this value is in Hexadecimal.

    Now, Press F5 and your system just became a tiny bit securer but certainly not unhackable.
