If you happen to move to vista or windows 7 like me, you have realized that hyper-terminal is no longer available. Although you could still make hyper-terminal work in windows 7 by copying the executable along with a dll file, I find that is much easier and convenient to use Putty. Putty offers many ways to connect to remote device like SSH, Telnet, and Serial. Here I describe how simple it is to connect to a device like a CISCO Router or switch using Putty.
1- First start by downloading putty from here
2- Second find on the device manager what is your serial connection: COM1 or 2 etc.
Windows Vista contains a handy hint mechanism for helping you recall you password if you’ve forgotten it. But what about if you’ve completely forgotten both your password and the interpretation of the hint. In that situation your work and email will be locked inside your computer (Well, ok, probably your administrator could recover it for you or reset your password). Fortunately, Windows Vista still offers a solution to this problem. Note that this only work before you actually forget your password; in other words, you have to make the disk while you still have access to your computer. In this case Vista will be saving your password to a usb disk or cd that you will insert in case you forget your password. Should I mention that you should put this key in a save place! Although the key is not stored in clear text inside your cd or usb key, it can be read by someone with some serious know-how.

VNC is considered to be an insecure protocol. The password is sent using fairly weak encryption, and the rest of the session is not encrypted at all. For that reason, when using VNC over an untrusted network or internet, I recommend you tunnel it over SSH.
To forward VNC port 5900 on localhost to remote host port 5900
ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 vncserver
If your ssh server is listening on other port like: 222
ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 vncserver -p 222
The same procedure can be done on a window$ machine using putty Read the rest of this entry »
Your PC can get to data in RAM hundreds of times faster than it can fetch something from the Hard-Drive. If you are like me and have open at least 10 different application at the same time, plus playing around with 2 or 3 virtual machine, which, by the way, consume lots of memory space; also, all the usual application running in the background, your memory will run out pretty fast, and your PC will start to drag pretty soon. So Vista has a little tool called “ReadyBoost” that pretty much lets you use a USB Flash Drive as additional memory. Well, You might be wondering; what happens if someone pulls out the drive and tries to snoop out your data; well, don’t worry Vista encrypts the data on the Flash Drive. Read the rest of this entry »
