Zenmap - Ever wondered how to do a portscan or understand the ports exposed by a computer?
Simple answer is download Zenmap from http://nmap.org/download.html. Install the software, then key in the ip you want to discover about, Click Scan.... After few minute you get the entire information about that ip address. You can do lot of stuff with this... Don't use it for illegal purposes. If everything is working you should see some thing like this. Handle it with care, don't use it in office or networks you don't own.

How to analyze Dr. Watson File Dump : watson, dr, analyze
Today I was scratching my head to figure out what is happening with set of Dr Watson logs. this particular link helped me to decipher the log in to more meaningful information. As always debuging the high level language is much easier than just navigating numbers. Drop me a note, I will help you if you are stuck with Dr Watson logs.
How to analyze Dr. Watson File Dump : watson, dr, analyze
Generally when I look at a drwstn32.log I just want the 15 second "what happened... vaguely" answer. To get that, just open the log in notepad, start at the bottom and scroll up. You're looking for something like the FAULT below.
...
FAULT ->77f7d66e 8908 mov [eax],ecx ds:00000000=????????
...
Once you see that just look up the name of the function that blew up and guess. (the blocks after the FAULT give you a basic function stack list including the function that blew up, see below) From there you need some windows knowledge to interpret what the function name means. For example, RtlDestroyHeap is related to deleting memory. In the below example, I have a tabctl32 object in my project which blew up while deallocating memory. That gave me an object and a type of error in 15 seconds. You could try looking up the values of the function parameters in the hex dump, but I'd suggest you're better off looking at code at that point. As for continuing through the error. Basically what happened is an uncaught type of error ripped all the way through your code and up to windows, your process is probably dead. Maybe try adding whacks of temporary error handling in your code. If you can't find anything else, add a bunch of catch(...) to catch anything and have it spit out an error message to the screen. At least that'll tell you where it happened in your code rather than in system dlls. From there, you'll have to iteratively track it back to the source by adding progressively more specific/deeper error trapping checks.

My Kaboodle
My Kaboodle . Do you kaboodle? Kaboodling is the new term for shopping using social networking, Very popular. The concept is very simple, suggest your favorite products, brands and add your comments. Login, to the site and kaboodle for your favorite items, deals, what will go well with your dress etc... Very interesting concept, not sure the business model is viable in a long term. Potential takeover target for Amazon or eBay or Google or Facebook. It Has lot of registered Kaboodlers though....
Try it yourself.
