PDF format became universally accepted format for document exchange. The format is well documented and supported. Acrobat Reader is a well known application for reading PDFs. There is also Acrobat Professional which is a great toll that can produce PDFs but it is quite expensive. There are other applications that can produce PDFs, but they are either expensive or have built in advertising. So i have decided to prepare this step by step guide explaining how to install and configure free PDF maker (publisher) using GhostScript and RedMon. Here is a quote from official GhostScript homepage describing the software: An interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language, with the ability to convert PostScript language files to many raster formats, view them on displays, and print them on printers that don't have PostScript language capability built in; An interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files, with the same abilities; The ability to convert PostScript language files to PDF (with some limitations) and vice versa; and A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language. So we would need latest version of GhostScript compiled for Windows. You can monitor available releases from GS homepage. At the moment you can download latest version from ftp: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs854/ There are 2 versions of GhostScript for Windows. There is one for 32 Bit Windows and another one for 64 Bit version. Here is the link for 32 Bit version: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs854/gs854w32.exe (Please use download manager) Download setup file Execute it. Click Setup button when install starts. You can use default parameters for install or change them to match your requirements (I assumed install into C:\GS folder, please keep in mind that you ll have to change all other settings mentioned in this article to match your parameters). So you
London, UK, 10 October 2006 - 2X announces the release of 2X ApplicationServer v.4, which allows seamless publishing of Windows applications onto remote desktops, significantly reducing administration overheads and security risks. The new version adds integrated load balancing, Linux & Mac client support, support for server farms, SSL tunneling and more."Application publishing slashes companies' IT administration costs, improves security, and provides easy remote access for business applications. Until now most companies were reluctant to invest inexpensive application publishing solutions, but with 2X pricing starting at $395, it is now affordable to any company," said Nikolaos Makris, CEO of 2X Software.2X ApplicationServer: New features Integrated load balancing: 2X ApplicationServer can intelligently connect users seamlessly to the appropriate terminal server. Using resource-based load balancing it can ensure redundancy, as well as distributing resource usage across a farm of terminal servers. It can also reconnect users to disconnected sessions and load balance RDP and ICA connections simultaneously. Supports server farms: Publishing can be done on an entire farm (group of terminal servers). Remote application publishing via SSL tunneling: With SSL tunneling, remote users can connect securely to any Windows application without the need for a VPN. End-to-end SSL encryption & certificate support makes it secure. Only a single open port is required, making it very manageable for the administrator. Linux client: Allows publishing of Windows applications onto Linux desktops or Linux-based thin clients. The Linux client is integrated with a number of free thin client solutions including 2XThinClientServer and Thinstation Mac client: Mac users can run Windows applications easily without the need for virtual machines. Easy to use: 2X ApplicationServer has been designed from the ground up to be easy to use. Whereas competitive solutions often required training

Some of you might be curious what it like to be a hacker. Well, FATE is a game that can help you understanding concepts, principles and various techniques used in hacking. FATE is terminal based and it does not have any graphics. It emulates UNIX shell pretty well. Plus FATE is extremely small size and has low resource consumption. FATE is based on a number of levels/missions. You receive these missions by chatting on IRC channel (you have to telnet irc.area-6.net 6667 from the console) with your boss, m101, and his affiliates. Usually you have to hack into a server by using some sort of remote exploit, password decryptor or some other hacking technique. Your typical target would be a Linux machine vulnerable some way. In order to succeed in the game you have to be versatile with UNIX commands and understand principles of UNIX/Linux systems. If you get stuck try to study one of the tutorials: FATE Tutorials. FATE is free and can be downloaded here. P.S. By the way, FATE is only a game. Don't try the stuff done in the game for real. FBI or someone else might call you :-).
