Automated Facebook profile hacks

Soon after I hacked my Facebook profile the old fashioned way, I found out that several sites can now automate the whole process and have your hacked profile ready in less than a minute.

In my previous attempt, I couldn't align my pictures properly and I found out that I had forgotten to take my two lines of profile info into account.

I used the Pic Scatter online tool developed by McCann Ericsson, to create another profile hack. It's really easy and you can even specify the number of lines of your profile info. However, it does take out the fun part of hacking and the trial and error process and ultimate satisfaction.

My Facebook profile hacked

Don't worry, my Facebook account wasn't hacked.

I was inspired by all the creative Facebook profile hacks out there and set out to hack my own Facebook profile as well. Check out my first effort below:



I couldn't get the images to align perfectly but I think it's good enough for a first try. I have a lot of idea but will try them when I finally submit my thesis.

Recover lost passwords for office documents

It's getting harder and harder to keep track of all the passwords I have for my various emails, online subscriptions, social networks, bank accounts and so on. I follow all the safety precautions -
1. using alphabets with numbers,
2. alphabets in different cases,
3. not forming and word in the dictionary and
4. at least 6 letters (unless more letters are required) and last but not the least,
5. not having the same password for different purposes.

This ultimately leads to my problem - it is practically impossible to remember all the passwords and they literally number in hundreds. The only solution is to write all of the passwords down in a diary. I dread the thought that I might one day lose my diary.

Talking about passwords, I sometimes forget to write them down and this is true for a number of my office documents, which were considered quite "confidential". And yes! I have forgotten the passwords.

Searching for an Excel password recovery solution led me to Password-Studio (http://www.password-studio.com/). For Excel and Word files, the software called Password-Studio Pro, uses a "Smart Dictionary" and "Bruteforce" hacking methods to recover your password. It is said to be the world's most powerful Office password recovery tool. As compared to other simialr tools on the net, I found that it is one of the cheapest at only $16.95 for a limited time(approximately £8.95 or 11.95 Euros). So what do you think?
