The best discount for Dreamhost hosting plans.
Dreamhost is one of the most hated hosting company.
I use their services for more than 6 months now.
In the first weeks - I was suffering from sluggish connection, low speed and more problems.
In the past 3 or 4 month I am very happy with their servers and connection. Look like they solved many of their problems.
If you need a hosting service and you don’t want to be bothered with space, bandwith and domains restrictions - you can check their hosting.
If you want Dreamhost hosting with the best discount - I created a kickass coupon for it:
You’ll get 50$ discount and a free IP! It is the best deal you can get from them
If you want it - just enter KICKASS as the Promo Code.
What you’ll get (beside the discount and the free IP)?
- 500 GB Disk Storage
- 5 TB Monthly Bandwidth
- Plus many more features!
Find other sites on a specific IP
It can be very useful to see what other sites are sitting on your site’s IP.
When you are using a shared host for your site or blog, you basically risk your site.
If an attacker is targeting other sites on the same server, his attack can hit you as well as other sites on the server.
More other sites on the hosting server = More chances your site can be hit in their attack process.
So how can you check the sites on your hosting server?
You can do it using this tool:
Internet in hotels
Surprise surprise - we are in Eilat
My mom placed an order for hotel and flights to Eilat but she and my dad couldn’t go.
My wife and me got the vacation.. thanks mom and dad
When we arrived into the hotel, we upgraded our vacation to VIP and therefore we can get into the business lounge.
We enjoy free food and drinks, breakfast in the 12′th floor with an amazing view.
The business lounge has two computers in it with a (more or less) fast Internet connection.
When I got to the computers both had their Internet browsers open.
One quick look and I saw that one computer was on Google. The guy who surf there before me left his Gmail account logged on.. You don’t even need to hack into his Gmail
The other computer was in stock’s site. A few clicks “back” in the browser’s toolbar and I was logged as him.
It didn’t end there…
A quick review of the computer show that it is full with spywares, Trojan horses, and other malware. The computer had Spy Sweeper installed but it didn’t help..
So how can you work safely?
1. Don’t leave your account logged in when you finish using it. It is better if you will not get into sites that require User and Password.
2. Delete the browser history, temp files and cookies when you finish.
3. Close the Internet Browser. Restart the computer. (If the policies do not allow this you can disconnect the computer from the electricity – it works too )
4. Best if you disconnect the computer from the network and use your laptop.
5. Work with cellular modem and don’t rely on the hotel.
In my Hebrew blog I wrote once how to bypass Captive Portals.
Got some fire when I wrote that..
killing using hacking skills?
Yes, It is possible.
Security researchers managed to hack to defibrillator and pacemaker using Wireless (Yes, it is possible to hack it when the stuff is in one’s chest).
When they made POC the researchers put a defibrillator in a bag full of meat and managed to make it give a strong electric shock.
Scary..
