How to control PC using Iphone

Posted by Aayush at 9:52 PM 0 comments
BEFORE WE START: THESE APPS WORK ON BOTH IPHONE AND IPOD-TOUCH AND DOESNT HAVE TO BE JAILBROKEN.

Iphone is full of endless possibilities, you just need the correct resources to make use of them. Using some of the 3rd party apps available on ITunes, you can have total control of a PC(when the user is logged in) and today, I am going to talk about two apps from Itunes.


What do download?
ITap is a app that turns your IPhone into a wireless keyboard/mouse for your PC or MAC. You can download the paid Iphone app here for $3.99 or the free lite version here

Remainder: lite version includes only volume control and none of the mouspad/keyboard. Even with the paid version, you cannot see the computer screen on iPhone.

How to setup?
After you download the apps on iphone, download the server client on your PC. Run and complete the installer, which will give you "iTap Receiver" program on your desktop or your Start Menu. To pair your computer with iPhone,open the app on iPhone and start the program on your computer. You should see your iPhone's name under "Devices running compatible version." Select your device and click on "Pair on Selected Device" If done successfully, you can use iPhone Screen as your Mouse Pad and also as a keyboard. Cool eh??

Mocha VNC:Another app from iTunes store which gives you absolute control of a PC is Mocha VNC which provides access to a VNC Server. Using your iPhone, you can connect to a Windows PC or Mac OS X and see the files, programs, and resources exactly as you would if you were sitting at your desk, just on a smaller screen.
What do download?
You can download the paid app for iPhone here for $5.99 or the free Mocha VNC lite here.
After downloading your selection of app into iPhone, download the VNC client server executable file into your computer. I downloaded the Enterprise Version from ThePirateBay. Click here fore more info on torrents download.

How to setup?
Just before you are done with the installation of VNC client, you will get "VNC Server Properties" Dialogue box. Make sure you configure your password in the first page and then click OK on the dialogue box and finish the installation. After you are done with your installation, search for "VNC Server (User Mode)" on your computer and open it. It will display a new icon on your taskbar. Right click on it and select "Status". Click on "Test" where it says "Details and Address". The first time you click start, it will say connection failed because you haven't port forwarded your router. Click here for more info on port forwarding.
For this software to run properly, you need to port forward your router into 5900 for Starting Port and 5900 in Ending Port. After port forwarding the router, click on Test>Start again and it should say "Connection Test Successful" and it will give you a IP-address which looks like (24.176.42.534)on which you need to connect. Dont close the dialogue box yet because you will use that ip-address on Mocha VNC that you downloaded on iPhone.

Open Mocha VNC on iphone and go to Menu>Edit Connections and select a row. Now put down the ip-address that you got earlier from testing the server. Put down 5900 on VNC Server Port and your password should be the one that you configured when you installed the software for the first. Give it a name just for yourself and then hit "Connect" on upper right side. It should say connecting to "[your ip address] and then VNC Negotiation and you will have your computer screen on your iphone. Now you can control the computer since you have the screen, type around or control volume using ITap.

Leave a comment if you have any problems while doing the setup.

Cool Javascript Tricks/Codes

Posted by Aayush at 10:38 PM 0 comments
These are pretty sick javascript codes/(hacks) if you call them. Copy the codes and paste them onto your browser and hit enter.
**SOME OF THEM MIGHT NOT WORK IN GOOGLE CHROME
Remember, you can always Press F5 (Refresh) in order to stop and come back to the website.
  • Calculator : 5+3+2+9-5-3-6+3: Makes a simple calculator that you can use using javacript.
javascript:alert(put your numbers and operation here)

  • "Flying Images": Automatically detects any images on the sites and starts flying them
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);
  • Edit Websites: After you enter the code, you can edit the contents of the site, but it wont be permanent.
javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0
  • Fake Website identifier: Compares your site protocol and hostname and sees if they are same or not. You can use it as a phising site checker.
javascript:alert("The actual URL is:\t\t" + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + "\nThe address URL is:\t\t" + location.href + "\n" + "\nIf the server names do not match, this may be a spoof.");
  • Annoying Dialogue Box: Pops out a dialogue box that asks you to restart the browser.
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then go to application and then select your browser and click End Task on the bottom.

javascript:while(1){alert('Restart your brower to close this box!')}

Another way to have fun with webcams and Iphone/Ipod Touch

Posted by Aayush at 7:08 PM 1 comments
We all know how cool gadgets can take away time when you are bored. Yet today, I present another cool way to have fun with webcams and Iphone/Ipod touch. This is more fun in Ipod Touch since it doesnt have a camera and Iphone already has a camera and other camera apps in app store .
First off, tools and softwares required:
  • Wireless internet [a must]
  • Ipod Touch/ Iphone
  • A regular webcam
  • Jumi App on Ipod Touch/Iphone
  • Cam Splitter 3.0 [Freeware]
  • ManyCam 2.4 [Freeware]

To start off, install a app called JumiCam Lite .This app allows you to view your webcam live from your wireless network. Then you can download the client version for the software and install in the computer where your webcam is connected to. You can also visit Jumitech.com for more information on setup of your device.

Next, download a software called CamSplitter 3.0 . It allows you to stream your webcam into two different softwares/programs without blocking the webcam. Install the program on your computer and then run it, but make sure you are not running JumiCam.

Now, download ManyCam 2.4 and install it on your computer. This will allow you to webcast your webcam in various designs and fun ways.

Now is the most important part. You are going to setup the devices to work together to create a fun time.

  • First start CamSplitter and select your device.
  • Then start JumiCam and make sure you are seeing webcast on your Ipod.
  • Then start ManyCams and then go to Sources Tab. Then Click on CamSplitter.
It is recommended to restart your Iphone/Ipod Touch and your computer for proper connection between them.
Now you can see the images on your Ipod and your Computer and from ManyCam, you can change backgrounds or add effects on your face brag among your friends with it. You can also play a video on the computer and then watch the video on ipod but sound cannot be transmitted.:(.. So have fun with this software. Feel free to leave a comment if you dont understand any of the steps..

How to auto-login using Face Detection system

Posted by Aayush at 5:08 PM 0 comments

I just found this software, keylemon and it allows a person to log into his windows user account using face detection system. It works just like finger print scanner, but instead it uses your face. YOU MUST HAVE A WEB CAM FOR THE PROGRAM TO RUN PROPERLY. But remember, this software is not foolproof. Anyone can use a photo of the person in order to log-in, so remember, this is only an option, not recommended for everyone due to security purposes.

The free version has total 30 usages and full version is about $19.95.

Posted by Aayush at 5:40 PM 0 comments
** ONLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. I WONT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TROUBLE YOU GET INTO AFTER DOING ALL THIS. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN.
Do you have anyone that you feel uses your computer too much? Well then here is the right solution for you. Make a Fake Virus that automatically shuts down the computer when the user clicks the icon. Lets start.
  1. Right click on your desktop and select NEW>SHORTCUT.
  2. Type shutdown -s -t 10 (10 can be any number in seconds that you want your computer to shutdown in) on the location box and click next.
  3. Change the default name into something else. Lets say Internet Explorer.
  4. You will have a new icon on your desktop saying Internet Explorer.exe
We are done with making the fake part, now the part where we change the design so it looks realistic.
  1. Right click on the new icon that we just made and select PROPERTIES.
  2. On SHORTCUT tab, select CHANGE ICON.
  3. If you get a Pop up, just click OK and move on.
  4. Once you get change Icon dialogue box, select browse
  5. Reach your My computer/ C:/ Program Files/ Internet Explorer and select iexplore.exe
  6. then you will get bunch of other icons. select one of them and click OK.
Your icon image has changed and when you double click on the button, It will say, Computer will shutdown is less than a minute, in vista. and in XP, it shows a dialogue box with the timer on.
After you do all this, you can send it to your friends too. make then download the icon and open it. the computer shutsdown automatically. More information can be found in shutdown command if you go to START>RUN> and type CMD or for vista, just type CMD on the search bar in Start Menu.and type shutdown/? it will show you more options on how to change the display pattern.,

Once again, THIS IS ONLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. NO HARMS INDENTED ON ANYONE
