Fix windows's MBR without installation Disk using linux!!!

By

Assalamualaykum,
When I was trying out new ubuntu 12.04. The installation progress went wrong and then freeze. After a couple of minutes the progress still the same.

Before installing 12.04, my system was running ubuntu 11.04 dualboot (windows 7).
Within my experience, when the installation of linux went wrong, the next step is recovering windows MBR using installation disk. But alas, my DVD-RW was busted long time ago and I haven't fix it or intent to fix it. The only thing I have is Ubuntu USB Thumbdrive.

After googling awhile I found out to recover windows MBR using Ubuntu thumbdrive.

First, make sure syslinux packages are installed or update to the latest version using this command

$ sudo apt-get install syslinux

When syslinux packages installed, enter this command to write windows MBR image into the harddrive's boot sector(/dev/sda)

$ sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda

Next thing to do is restart your PC using unity or using this command

$ sudo init 6

Done, now you have your windows up and running again.

Wasalamualaykum....

The Future Of Computing is Ubuntu Phone

By
As we are know, in the beginning of January 2013. Canonical announce their new project called Ubuntu Phone. From the beginning Ubuntu was just another Linux distro,  but now Canonical driving Ubuntu far beyond its beginnings as just another Linux distro into an Operating System that works on  television and even being  an android and iPhone competitor, Ubuntu is skating to where they puck is going to be. But, which such a bold move, there are significant obstacles to overcome. The soon to be released Ubuntu Phone is paving the way that all smart phones will eventually go. Back to the late  1943 where  computers were gigantic, filling rooms and requiring constant care and maintenance. Over time, the components required to build the computers become smaller and cheaper, till eventually it was possible to put one on your desk until the laptop computer, a smaller, more portable, but just as powerful machine was made and make it nearly obsolete. And then, com...

Throwing The Sun Tzu Baby Out With The InfoSec Bathwater

By
Steve Tornio and Brian Martin just published a  5,000 word rant  against anyone who dares utter the name Sun Tzu in connection with information security. According to Tornio and Martin, Sun Tzu – the principal strategic authority who’s seminal work has served to guide China’s military and civilian leadership for 2500 years, is “ not relevant to modern day InfoSec ” because  “information security is not warfare (leaving aside actual warfare, of course” . That’s a pretty huge stipulation considering that the People’s Republic of China has been heavily invested in information technology R&D to revolutionize both its Armed Forces and its civilian infrastructure simultaneously for the past 20 years or so. The same is true for the Russian Federation (sans Sun Tzu, of course). I’d love to hear either of these two gentlemen discuss where they make the distinction between InfoSec for the enterprise versus InfoSec as an “expression of warfare by other means” (to paraphras...
