There is a up and coming website which seems to be creating quite a stir in the internet world, more specifically in the bloggers world. While WonderHowTo is a good website to get paid to blog on How To articles, there are other great websites that offer the same service. I routinely mention them here on WonderHowTo and some can be found in the links section, but this website is different. Most Blog-and-Pay websites use the Google Adsense program, such as WHT, but some people will actually pa...

Another week has passed on the online battlefield as the CISPA legislation continues to grind away at our freedom. Here at Null Byte, we try to keep our community informed and knowledgeable at the same time—and that means creating content for them to learn from.
Here's another delicious Byte. Ucha Gobejishvili, a Georgian Security Researcher under the handle of longrifle0x, discovered two cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities on the official website of Forbes. He discovered the hole in two different locations on the site, and has already informed the website of the vulnerability.
In Linux, all password hashes are normally stored using the MD5 hashing algorithm in the /etc/shadow file, but MD5 is algorithmically weak due to collision vulnerabilities. The new recommended standard are the higher level SHA-2 hashing algorithms, SHA256 or SHA512. As a friend pointed out to me, Ubuntu is currently the only distro implementing SHA-2 as the default. With SHA-2, your passwords take an unreasonably larger amount of time to calculate. This will greatly decrease how many password...

Dress up Johnny Knoxville as his old man counterpart. He then needs to strip down to his underwear at a MLB or soccer game and streak across the field. If possible he should really bring a walker and hold it out while he is scrambling from security. Most people wont know who he is, but it will be a huge hit with all of us fans who will recognize him immediately and be thrilled with the opportunity to see a prank in action without being able to interfere with the filming.
Half-hitches are great knots, but only when use in combination with other knots. By itself, a half-hitch is unsafe and unreliable, but when joined with other knots, can be quite the opposite. Tying two half hitch knots together is great for attaching a rope or line to any object. The half hitch and double half hitch are used throughout specialities, most notably as a boating knot, outdoor knot, and paddling knot.
Check out our video walk-through of part one of the final boss encounter in Resident Evil 5! This includes lots of game spoilers.
The figure eight follow through boating knot is one of the strongest knots. (also can be used for paddling). It is generally rated at 70% - 75% of rope strength. Due to it's strength and the fact that it is easy to visually inspect, it is commonly used by climbers as their "tie-in knot" - the knot that connects the climber to the rope. It forms a secure non-slip loop at the end of a rope. For even greater security, finish the tag end with a backup knot such as one side of the double fisherman...
