Bajaj Auto has finally launched their much hyped product Exceed in the market. The bike has been named Bajaj XCD 125 DTS-Si and it has been priced at around Rs. 41000.

The company hopes to bridge the gap between the 100 cc and 150 cc bikes in the market with this new product.

Bajaj plans to focus on bikes above 125 cc in the coming months as they are going to move out of the 100 cc segment which is currently dominated by Hero Honda.

The company further claims that XCD would deliver similar fuel efficiency as typical 100 cc bikes.

It also claims to be offering performance offered by competitive 150 cc bikes with its advanced technology.

Bajaj has in fact spent 3 years working on this new bike in collaboration with its technical partner Kawasaki.

Rajiv Bajaj, managing director, Bajaj Auto added in a statement: “We have priced the bike according to the market trend, and expect to derive a profit margin of about Rs 3,000 on each bike sold.”

Worldcup Twenty20

Chak de INDIA

Great Match, Two Good teams Great peice of Fielding from INDIA, Great Bowling from Pakistan and The Result : Match TIED ;)

Last Over By Srishanth 12 Runs Needed from 6 balls

19.1     Sreesanth to Yasir Arafat, 1 run, full ball outside the off stump, driven straight to Yuvraj at point, just the single

19.2     Sreesanth to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, length delivery outside the off stump, Misbah backs away and hammers the ball over cover, it bounces just inside the boundary, superb stuff from Misbah
11 runs from five balls needed. Fine leg goes back to the boundary.

19.3     Sreesanth to Misbah-ul-Haq, 2 runs, full ball on middle stump, driven to long-on for a single but poor fielding allows the second
7 needed off four now.

19.4     Sreesanth to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, full toss on off stump, mid-off was in the circle and Misbah drives past him, he brings up his fifty and the scores are level, superb innings

19.5     Sreesanth to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, short of a length outside off stump, Misbah tries to cut but gets beaten
Just one run needed off two balls.

19.6      Sreesanth to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, it’s a tie! Misbah can’t get it away and hits it towards cover, Yuvraj runs in, picks up the ball and throws it to the non-strikers end, Sreesanth whips off the bails with the non-striker well short of his crease, delirious scenes at Kingsmead

Then Umpires decided for Bowl out to give the Points And INDIA Got the Points ;) by Getting 3 Bowl Outs ( it`s kind of Shoot Out)

How To Catch A Hacker

Author: VaaSU
10.09.2007

i found one interesting article about ” How To Catch A Hacker “. This is a Very good Article, Hope you like it ;)

- How To Catch A Hacker -

Tip 1: Hackers cover their tracks. Experienced hackers cover them more thorougly, but amateur hackers sometimes leave things behind. Don’t expect them to leave any really big evidence behind; expect more of little things here and there you might find surprising. For example, if you’re writing a term paper and a black hat hacker accidently saved it when he took a paragraph out- that’s suspicious. Where did that paragraph go? Well, for one thing, now you know he was in that area. Check the folders surrounding the file- you might find something.

Tip 2: Decipher between the type of hackers that are attacking you. Experienced hackers will have a more in depth look around when they penetrate your system. They won’t touch much because they know that that won’t add too much to their knowledge. But if you know a hacker’s been in, and some files are messed with, and you have a log of someone guessing passwords to a file or something of that sort, its probably some newbie who’s just starting out. These are the easiest hackers to catch. They usually get so caught up in thoughts like “I’m in!” that they forget the basics, such as work behind a proxy.

My friend was setting up a webserver once. His first time too, and he wasn’t to anxious to set up some good software to protect against hackers and viruses. He didn’t put up one IDS, and before you know it, the obvious happened. But this time, a newbie had struck. The nice log files showed, bluntly across the screen, multiple instances of a foreign IP address that stood out. Some stupid newbie had tried to login as “uucp” on my friend’s XP computer, with a password of “uucp.” Well, that’s great, but he also had tried the same user/pass combination three times, enough to get himself logged nicely. Even a semi-brainless user with some form of neurological system knows that uucp isn’t a default XP account. Again, excitement toiled this hacker’s brain, and maybe if he hadn’t done that, along with a few other stupid things, he wouldn’t have gotten caught. What other things did he do? Well, lets see. He openned 35 instances of MS-DOS. He tried to clean the printer’s heads, and he edited a .gif in notepad. Then he uninstalled a few programs and installed some html editor, and replaced four files with the words “14P.”

He might as well have posted his phone number. In a few days, we had tracked him down to a
suburban town in Ohio. We let him go, not pressing any charges, because he had done nothing really damaging and had provided me with an example of a moron for this guide.

Tip 3: Don’t go crazy if you lose data. Chances are, if it was that important, you would have backed it up anyway. Most hackers nowadays wish they were back in 1989 when they could use a Black Box and having a Rainbow Book actually meant something. Most hackers aren’t blackhat, they are whitehat, and some even greyhat. But in the end, most hackers that are in systems aren’t satisfied by looking around. From past experiences, I have concluded that many hackers like to remember where’ve they been. So, what do they do? They either press delete here and there, or copy some files onto their systems. Stupid hackers (yes, there are plenty of stupid hackers) send files to e-mail addresses. Some free email companies will give you the IP of a certain e-mail address’s user if you can prove that user has been notoriously hacking you. But most of the time, by the time you get the e-mail addy it’s been unused for weeks if not months or years, and services like hotmail have already deleted it.

Tip 4: Save information! Any information that you get from a log file (proxy server IP, things like “14P”, e-mail addresses that things were sent to, etc.) should be saved to a floppy disk (they’re not floppy anymore, I wish I could get out of the habit of calling them that) incase there’s a next time. If you get another attack, from the same proxy, or with similar e-mail addresses (e.g: one says Blackjack 123@something.whatever and the other says Black_jack_45@something.znn.com) you can make an assumption that these hackers are the same people. In that case, it would probably be worth the effort to resolve the IP using the proxy and do a traceroute. Pressing charges is recommended if this is a repeat offender.

Tip 5: Don’t be stupid. If you’ve been hacked, take security to the next level. Hackers do talk about people they’ve hacked and they do post IPs and e-mail addresses. Proof? Take a look at Defcon Conventions. I’ve never gone to one, but I’ve seen the photos. The “Wall of Shame”-type of boards I’ve seen have IPs and e-mail addresses written all over them in fat red, dry-erase ink. Don’t be the one to go searching the Defcon website and find your e-mail address posted on the Wall of Shame board!

Tip 6: Don’t rely on luck. Chances are, sometime or another, you’re going to be targeted for an attack. Here you can rely on luck. Maybe they’ll forget? Maybe they don’t know how to do it? If you think this way, a surprise is going to hit your face very hard. Another way you could stupidly rely on luck is by saying this: It’s probably just a whitehat. On the contrary, my friend, it’s probably just a blackhat. A blackhat with knowledge stored in his head, ready to be used as an ax. It’s your data. You take the chance.

Well, there you have it. If you have any additional tips that aren’t widly talked about send them to info@nitesecurity.com, post them on the forums, or e-mail them to a staff member. We’ll probably have another “tip” guide and include them there, with the proper credits of course. This guide and others by myself and other staff members can be found at http://www.nitesecurity.com.

After fixing the chat rooms, now yahoo has released the New Yahoo Messenger For Mac Users, it`s in BETA.

This new MAC version includes:

Tabbed IM windows: When you have two or more conversations going on, they appear as separate tabs in a single window. Less clutter for your desktop! Plus, you can drag a tab out and make it into its own window (or drag it back in to consolidate). Tabbed conversations are a preference, so if you prefer having one window per IM conversation, you still can.

Chat rooms: Yup, the same Yahoo! chat rooms that Windows users have been using are now open to Mac users.

Message archiving: All of your IM and chat room conversations can now be archived on your computer.

Improved stability for webcam and file transfer: There were issues with these in the past version so the team did a lot of bug fixes and under-the-hood work to improve them.

More emoticons: We added in the additional emoticons that are in our other versions of Messenger, so Mac users now have them all!
