Here’s an interesting video that shows hackers sniffing the Wifi to retrieve Gmail cookie. Of course, this is when you are using Gmail without HTTPS secure access.

For secure Gmail, simply use https://gmail.com instead of http://gmail.com.

For analyzing your network whether that be Wifi or wired, you might want to consider trying the following TCP/UDP network analyzers.

Download Ethereal - I have used Ethereal for a long time before when I used to work as an embedded network engineer.  It’s a great tool and shows pretty much every packet your network passes around. (great for wifi)

Download Wireshark - Similar to Ethereal, I believe this tool is based on the same core as the Ethereal.

We just launched Gooef.com, an eco-friendly and green search engine over at Keetsa.com.  If you are into eco-friendly stuff, try typing in something like, “gadgets” and you will get a nice list of eco-friendly and green gadgets.

I know, the name sounds kinda goofy but the “ef” actually stands for “eco-friendly”.

Keetsa Blog, an eco-friendly and green blog in the Zedomax Network, launches Gooef.com, an eco-friendly and green search engine.

We did launch Goohack.com and Goodrunk.com last week, we figure these search engines are fun and decided to add more.

For example, you can type “designer bags” on Gooef and get a good list of eco-friendly designer bags back as the result.

Here’s a current list of sites included in the new eco-friendly and green search engine:

keetsa.com | groovyvegetarian.com | inhabitat.com | treehugger.com | buildinggreentv.com | bdpollution.blogspot.com | blog.jollygreengirl.com | equitygreen.typepad.com | victoria-e.com | ecoshopper.net | g2bgreen.com | carteroosterhouse.com | re-nest.com

VHi All,

This week we will be featuring review of affiliate programs from AdTech 2008 and try out 6 affiliate programs we hand pick and test them out over the next 2 months.

(AdTech is a tradeshow that covers the latest trends in online marketing, advertising, publishing, and social media.)

For the reviews, we actually went out and hand picked the smaller or less known affiliate companies among the bloggers, who provide better customer support while giving you better affiliate payouts.

We are also planning to gather about 200 bloggers over at Zedomax.Net to launch a big blog/affiliate network so stay tuned.

So far, we got about 50 bloggers so if you want to get in early, make sure to shoot us an e-mail at zedomax [at] gmail.com and benefit from our network traffic, SEO, and affiliate programs. (Basically in the long run, we will get better payouts from affiliate/advertising companies as a big network of blogs.)

At the end of all the video reviews, we will have a complete breakdown on who’s who of affiliate programs at AdTech 2008.

First up at bat is CX Digital Media.

Here’s a video interview with Winkie Lee, affiliate manager of CX Digital Media I met at the show:

CX Digital Media focuses on high payout CPA affiliate programs, 2% publisher referral commissions, and offer Net-15 terms. Basically, you can write blog posts about any products you like and make commission if someone signs up for the product. (CPA = Cost per Action)

I found they have pretty good products, here’s a screenshot on some of their offers:

Although I am not too keen on offers like Bingo and Poker, I do like offers like $28 for Wall Street Journal and $250 Gas Card, which can be both very useful for the readers of your blogs.

What I like about the dashboard after you sign up for CX Digital Media is that you have a 1-on-1 relationship with the Affiliate Manager. In my case, it’s Winkie Lee and I can IM her when I need help:

I really like this as I have tried other big companies like CJ.com, and they don’t have this type of personal support. Besides, CJ.com is already too competitive and the payouts are low unless you are making a lot of money already.

Here’s some free/discount offers you can take advantage of and also help me make some money:

$99 for 1 year of Wall-Street Journal

Free $250 Gas Card for a little survey

Get a Free BLOW Energy Drink

You can sign up for a CX Digital Media affiliate program here.
(Make sure to write, “Winkie Lee” under the Notes section so Winkie will be your affiliate manager.)

By signing up through me and also joining Zedomax Network, you will be able to take advantage of even higher payouts later down the road.

There’s also a $750 bonus for any affiliates who can generate more than $7500 within the first 30 days of signing up.

More great affiliate program reviews coming soon so stay tuned!

Since there’s so many people coming into Zedomax.com through Google search term, “wireless hack“, I though I round up some wireless hack guides on the internet real quick:

1. ZDnet - Hack most wireless LANs in minutes!
2. aeonity - how to ethically hack a wifi wireless internet connection using free hacking software.
3. ethicalhacker - Essential Wireless Hacking Tools
4. Metacafe video - Hacking Wireless Computers in your neighborhood

Well that is what you would be saying if you owned a web cam like this one. Behind the mirror is the web cam so you can stare into it and at the same time see yourself how others on the other end of the connection can see you, nice!

Now some people would say that this is perfect for women, but I am not totally sure about that, because I have seen some men carry on worse than any woman over their appearance. Especially with the ring of lights around the mirror.

Mind you it is a good idea to know that you do look ok, when making a conference call or something for your business etc. It is connected via the USB port, which would that there is no software to download. Unfortunately there are no prices and much other information on this device as of yet.

These images were taken of an ATM machine in Russia, not quite sure exactly where, but this does throw some suspicion on how safe your money is when there are machines like this one blatantly out there just waiting for the next customer to come along and give it your card and PIN number.

Is this a scam? We do not really know, but the whole thing looks seriously suspicious, after all would you put your card in there and then give it your PIN number?

Twitter is a simple application where you can blab and twit about where you are going, what you are drinking, and anything you are doing. It’s a way of micro-blogging which has taken a life of its own. (Maybe bigger than social networking sites someday) Anyway, while we try to make our own twitter with our evil minds (jk, we don’t have time to do that, we rather twit). Check out my new twitter page if you are bored or having some drinks.

Holy cow, remember our predictions that the code 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 will grow at an exponential rate? It’s doubling almost every day!

It will be interesting what will be done about this code in the near future. Who knows, this hex code might become a model for all sorts of online legal battles in the future.

On the side note, we wish Zedomax would reach over a million search results on Google faster… ;p

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately after my HTC 8125 broke, but it came back to life about a week later.

Since my HTC 8125 is so slow, I had to find a new phone that was FAST. I went to all the stores with demo phones including Cingular, Verizon, Sprint, and didn’t really bother going to T-mobile. Anyways, some of the Cingular stores had these HTC 8525 demos hooked up on Wi-fi so I thought it was really fast until I turned the Wifi off.

After going to all these stores, I found Sprint and Verizon had the fastest internet. (As far as simply bringing up a big site like Make on the phone)

What’s HSDPA and EDVO?

HSDPA is basically the data internet network for GSM phones (Cingular, T-Mobile) and EDVO is the one for CDMA phones. (Sprint, Verizon)

I am really looking forward to WiMAX, which is a network running on CDMA and supposedly is faster than your DSL or cable.

Browsing Tests

My current HTC 8125 on Cingular takes about 2 minutes.

Verizon took about 30 seconds and Sprint was slightly faster at about 20 seconds.

Then I went to the Cingular store and tested their HSDPA enabled HTC 8525 phone which took about 1 minute and a half to load up Makezine.

Well, this is all great, but where is the proof?

So, I found a cool site that tests your cellphone speed. I checked out the Cingular store and the Sprint store again.

Although I wanted to switch to Sprint, I wanted to do a last check for the fastest phone.

Here’s the results:

Cingular HTC 8125:

400 K bits/sec

Cingular Samsung Blackjack:

830K bits/sec

Sprint PPC-6700

1100K bits/sec

I wanted to test the Motorola-Q too at the Sprint store but maybe next time…

Actually, the Sprint PPC-6700 flutuated between 500K bits/sec to 1600K bits/sec

Overall, when browsing sites, the Sprint PPC-6700 loaded faster whereas the Cingular phones loaded very slowly regardless of the speed test.

If you are going to go with Cingular, make sure to get the HTC8525, which is the only phone that supports HSDPA. Actually maybe Blackjack does too…

I will update you on some results after my new Sprint phone purchases. (We are gettin’ the Moto Q and the Samsung IP-830W for some rugged testing…)

Also expect EDVO Rev B to boost some EDVO enabled phones… (Sprint, Verizon) Up to 9Mbps downloads!
