How to instert Rupee Sign(₹) into any Document

If you wonder how you can insert the Rupee (₹) symbol into your document, then this post is for you.

First of all the font should be installed in your system.

Windows All

If you use windows Vista or Later, You can install the official upgrade by Microsoft by visiting this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2496898

Note: But as for windows XP users, the font is not official and hence you guys better not use the font from third party. Because if you use that font and you gave this document to any other person, who used vista or later or even xp who hasn’t installed your font, will not be able to see that symbol.

After installing the font you can use the key combination as give

<Press-and-hold Alt> 2 0 b 9 <Release Alt>

Linux

Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.10 and later versions comes with the font out of the box. So you need not worry about this.
In ubuntu you can use the following key comination for the Symbol.

<Press and Hold Ctrl-Shift-u> 2 0 b 9 <Release all keys, enter>

Now you can see the font there! You can try these following methods too.

  • Kubuntu 10.10: Copy-and-paste ‘₹’
  • HTML: insert “&#x20b9;”

Now If none of these techniques works for you, then do this.



1. Download the font from Here => Font for Rupee Symbol (₹)

2. Install the font.

3. Copy the file to C:WindowsFonts directory.(for Windows XP users) / 2. Right-click the file and choose “Install”. (for Windows 7/Vista users)

4. Press the Tild Sign in your keyboard.

 

 

How to convert PDF files to use them with Amazone Kindle

PDFs are the most common ebook format. So most of you will be having the pdf formatted ebooks collection. Now kindle is the most common ebook reader. Most of you may also have the Kindle. But if you are a user of kindle, you know how nice is the kindle books with the controls they are giving us with their kindle formats. And PDF files will not simply work along with all those controls and options. So now you need the pdf to kindle format converter! You can read on how to do this conversion. Its pretty easy.

First of all you can do this in several ways.

1. You can use Auto Kindle to convert a PDF to a Mobi file. (Windows)

This project was originally a quick for me to convert my ebook collection in various formats to a kindle compatible format without worrying about the ebook source type. It takes PDF, Lit, and HTML files and converts them to .mobi.

2. Or you can use Calibre. It will convert from most ebook formats to most others. (Windows/Linux)

But its a ebook library management system and it has lots of options which can confuse you if you haven’t been familiar with its functionalities. I cannot say its a converter. Its a management system with all the options. But it is available for Linux also.

How to transfer files between your android device and computer via wifi

Now this is what we all need when we have to transfer huge files and yet we dont have any means to use the sd card or transfer using the USB cable. Using bluetooth to transfer is pretty hectic. Wifi is much faster.

Here I use one ssh server from the android market and one client in my system. since I use ubuntu, the client is not an issue. But if you use windows machine, you can use a simple tool called scp.exe, a google search will take it to that download page.

0. connect both your computer and the android device to the same network.
1. Now as the first step, you need to install the ssh server in you android device.
2. Now specify a password. (Choose wisely as, if someone guesses this, they could get all the files from your device.)
2b. Better choose non default port as its is more secure. People will have to guess the port number also incase if they got your password.
3. Then start the ssh server.
4. Now goto your computer and open the terminal (linux) or open the scp file browser or whatever ssh client you downloaded.
5. Now if you have a GUI then you know what you have to do, just copy the files you need to the android device. (Usually copy from the left side panel to the right side panel.)
Or if you use terminal client you will have to type in some commands.
In My case the following command will copy all the mp3 files from the folder (/home/xpl0iter/.miro/Movies) to the sdcard. sdcard is the actual sdcard in the android device. You can use whatever path you need to, but for all the other path which is not sd card or the place we are not intended to copy the files, you will need root access. That means you will have to root your phone first.

scp -P 1387 /home/xpl0iter/.miro/Movies/*.mp3  192.168.2.187:/sdcard/

scp – command for copying the file using ssh. (Secure Copy)

-P 1387 – Specifying the port on which the ssh server runs in the android device.

/home/xpl0iter/.miro/Movies/*.mp3 – The files I wish to copy from the computer.

192.168.2.187 – Ip address of the android device. This will be shown on the ssh server.

/sdcard/ – the path to where I am copying the files. :)

How to Crack/Hack a Wifi with WEP – Video Tutorial

Here is a video created by g0tmi1k on WEP cracking with Aircrack-NG.

How does this work? – ARP beacon is needed (depending on the attack method), so this can be re-injected back into the network. To get this packets the attacker needs to disconnect a connected client currently on the network (if the attacker keeps on repeating this part, it will be a DoS to the client). Once the key beacon has been captured and enough data injected/collected, it is now an offline attack either by brute force or a dictionary attack. Then its just a question of waiting then the attacker will have the key (brute forcing WEP can be less than 60 seconds!) From here, the attacker can use that key to decrypt the captured data from before, and now is able to ‘read’ it as well as join the network.
