Review Google Chrome & portable version download

Leader of search engine market this day Google, inc. on 3rd September releasing an internet browser application called Google Chrome. Google Chrome is an open-source browser developed by Google, which software architecture of it taken from another open-source web browser including WebKit and Mozzilla FireFox (usually called scratch).

Google Chrome have minimal design and look very simple, we even won’t found menu bar that we usually found on any application. This will forced the user to use keyboard shortcut and automatically increasing browser speed and make it more easy.

Because this browser has just been released and still in Beta version, Google Chrome not yet have wide support from 3rd party software and plug-in but standard plug-in like macromedia flash player should run properly.

Speed of rendering web page on this browser is fast but on my experience not as fast as Opera do, but of course it’s faster than most widely used web browser but also the slowest: Microsoft Internet Explorer. One unique feature on Google Chrome is Incognito, when we going incognito we can surfing on web anonymously and this will protect our privacy (just like Private Browsing on Apple Safari).


On Incognito window, Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.;


Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
  • Websites that collect or share information about you
  • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
  • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
  • Surveillance by secret agents
  • People standing behind you

Another good feature is when we typing in address bar we’ll get suggestions for both search and web pages. Interesting thing is Google chrome have option to change default Search Engine to Another Search Engine like Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and Ask which are competitor of Google. This prove that Google open to competition and doesn’t use monopoly principle.


Besides that, when we open a new tab we will see most visited site and will help us to open web site we usually visiting easier and faster. (Similar to Speed dial on Opera Browser). and this browser also have great element inspector to view page source code more detaily (like Dragonfly on Opera)


Conclusion: Google Chrome is a fast browser although still in beta version. Simple and minimal design have its own attraction, but doesn’t mean it’s have minimal feature. Hope google will adding new feature for they another services.

Windows 7: the next generation of Windows

Some moment ago rumor about next generation windows after Vista spreading, although still pretty quite Microsoft clarified that a new windows with code name Windows 7 will be released around 2009 to 2010 and just few week ago Microsoft launching Windows 7 milestone1 (developer build) to the select few.

Windows Vista which available on market this day already treated by Windows XP home edition which price be cut off to half, now appear a new threat from new "prince" candidate of Microsoft kingdom, Windows 7. it's seem a virus wasn't a threat to Vista but the real threat come from its own brother^^.

For the time being windows 2000 been called the best windows ever, then come XP n some people call it "Beautiful version of Win 2000", then vista been hyperbolized  as slower version of windows with too much Make-up.

Now how is this Windows 7 will be? When Vista released public shocked by how high of specification of system recruitment, and now let's imagine how high specification of system is windows 7 will recruit to run properly.

The Only information (at least this is what I know) is come from Bill Gates at a conference in Japan. They showed customize designed notebook with touch screen that will describing by little how Windows 7 will be.  At the conference been showed how to navigate and zooming with finger motion on the screen. Bill Gates just said that Windows 7 will have high connectivity with mobile gadget.

Formerly a new file system called WINFS promised to come with Vista but Microsoft denied it. Will WINFS come with Windows seven? How about price? Will the price jump up like Win Vista Ultimate Edition? And considering 5 years gap between XP and Vista, also the number of win vista promised release date been canceled, will this new generation of windows be released at promised period of the time?

I’ve try passwarekit version 8.3, on this release some new function had been added, that is: password recovery for QuickBooks 2008, Quicken 2008, also Instant decryption for Quicken Database up to version 2007.

This software kit including 39 cracking password module:

WordPro Key WordPro Key is a program to recover passwords for Lotus WordPro (.LWP) files
Zip Key Zip Key is a program to recover passwords for ZIP archives created with WinZip, PKZip or any other ZIP-compatible software

This program was able to testing password really fast. On zip key passwarekit able to test up to 5million password/second on average Pentium IV system. but we'll find bit different result on Rar Key, because RAR using relatively strong encryption method so it slow down the proses to only 5-10 password per second.

every module has its own feature and function. Like in RAR key you will find option to setting brute-force and xievetm. and Zip Key had it exclusive  Sure Zip feature.

Over all this software is easy to use. As example I’m using RAR key (module for cracking password for Winrar) All I have to do is  just choose the file will be recovered, and with right setting  just in one second I already got my password back.




I’ll give another  example. I had a Archived file with winRAR that been protected by password, and I “accidentally”^^ don't know the password. But I still can remember that password only including number and has 5 character length. So form information I had before, I can open RAR key, and I change the setting so I can do more efisien recovery, back to the case, I go to symbol set on setting and checked "digit" dialog, the on password length I can choose start checking from 5 character length password. do the program won't wasting time checking password form 1 to 4 length password




Some method usually used for recover password:

Xieve™ :
Passware developed Xieve™ optimization, which dramatically boosts Brute-Force attack speed by skipping password checks of nonsense combinations of characters. With 95% recovery rate for English words, password search speed is over 1,500,000,000 passwords per minute
Brute-Force :
Brute-Force attack finds passwords by checking all possible combinations of characters from the Symbol Set
Dictionary :
Dictionary attack tries thousands of words from dictionary files as possible passwords. Every word from dictionary is tested in a variety of modifications according to the current dictionary settings

Note that not all module using exact same technique, because of structure of the  file for recovery progress was not same. Like on  windows key, the module will guide us to make a boot able disk or USB flash drive or floppy drive(if you still using it) so we can run the disk on booting and all we have to do is waiting and access for log in to the system we regain.

conclusion: this software have so plentiful of feature which become one of the best in recovery password category


tips:  in order to keep your file can't be opened by irresponsibly guy, protect your file with 8 character length password of minimal, and using various combination of character (letter, digit, sysmbol) including "!~<>*%$#@" so cracking proses by some who want to peeping your file will take so long. but beware because this can be double  edged sword when you FORGET the password.

Sorry if You can't really understand what I’ve been writing, because of my English not very well I don’t have so rich vocabulary and this is just part of my step to mastering English, so I’ll study more.. Thanks..

Have a nice day All.

Let Me Introduce my Self (Aggie)

hello every one whose reading this blog. I Hope you all have nice days.
let me introduce myself.

my name is Aggie I’m a boy, 17 years old, and I’m not mastering English very well but I guess anyone still can understand what I’m writing about.

I live in Indonesia, a tropical country on South East Asia (just above Australia on map^^), I really love anything related about technology and specially computer (first thing I call destiny in my life, and now become the second thing after love)^^. Well, I’ve put interest on nature, graphic art, music, psychology and metaphysic as well.

I’ve start my first blog about tech few month ago on Indonesian language, and start thinking that I want to make a blog in English but at the time I’m afraid because my English aren't so well. So I just enjoy my time with my Indonesian blog. then something happen (bad thing, but I’m be grateful about it) my lovely girl friend dumped me, it's make me down and so sad, I spent my night crying for a week (maybe because my star sight is Virgo) then I re-read some book that is “The Attractor Factor” by Joe Vitale and “The Secret” by Ronda Byrne. those book give me new spirit, so with the new spirit now I’ll do something that I’ve afraid to do before  "writing blog in English" although my English was not very well, I just want to take action and now I’ll realize the more I’m writing in English the more my English improving. and here I am, writing this word that you've been read.


I've do this blog cooperating with my friend Arnaldo (he will introduce himself on another post), my purpose doing this blog is just to have something I can be proud about, and have my skill and anything to help anybody. because now I realized what I’ve wanted are Love from everybody, I just need someone who care with me (I’m a broken home child), I feel happy when I can help somebody else, and somehow I feel satisfied with what I’m doing now. So I hope this blog can help you, or make you interesting and this will give me support to keep writing and study. Thank You for anybody who want spending some time to read what I’ve been writing, thank you so much you’ve make me feel meaningful.


I’m sorry for some word that maybe not suitable, that just because my vocabularies not yet so wide so hope you understand.
I hope everybody gifted with happiness, thanks God.
