How To Add A Password To PDF Files

As a side note, in case you are wondering how to password protect a PDF document, you can use a couple of solutions. I do it with OpenOffice. Go to File > Export as PDF and then to the security tab. You can put in  a password for opening a file and another for restricting content usage.

If you don’t have OpenOffice you can try PrimoPDF. I wouldn’t recommend Adobe’s offerings because they are pretty heavy and slow albeit more powerful.

If you know similar tools to achieve the same results, share them with us in the comments.

How To Unlock Adobe PDF Files

PDF files have become the de facto document standard on the Internet. Why? Well because it is the Portable Document Format. The file you created will look just like you had prepared it, irrespective of the software used to create or read the file or whether the other person has the fonts you used. It also offers hundreds of other options that make it truly great for the power user.
However sometimes you get a PDF file from a friend/colleague or from the Internet that is password protected. Some require a password to open, others have the fonts, images and other content protected and others prohibit you from printing the file. You can of course contact the person concerned to get the password, but there can be plenty of situations where you would want to use a password protected file otherwise! So, here I will try to tell you how to unlock pdf files be it for printing or viewing.

Freeware PDF Unlocker

Freeware PDF Unlocker is a free utility that allows you to remove passwords and open protected PDF files. What it does is that it creates another copy of the PDF file that can open without any password and that can work without limitations.
Getting it to work is a little cumbersome. You have to follow different approaches for different types of passwords. There is no GUI (user interface) available. However when you install the software it creates a CMD file on your desktop. All you have to do is to drag and drop your password protected file onto this CMD file and it will do the rest.

For removing passwords that prohibit you from tasks like copying and printing, you need not do anything and the CMD file will work as it is. Just drag and drop the file and you will get a “no password” file.

Now we come to the other type of passwords that prevent you from opening the PDF file. First off, allow me to clarify a bit here. The software is not for cracking passwords. However, it is great for another scenario. Suppose I send you a file that requires you to enter a password to open the file. Of course I will provide you the password if you are the intended recipient. You open the file, read it, find the contents useful and would like to get back to the file in the future.
So do you remember yet another password with all the passwords you are already trying to remember inside your brain? Or do you write it down? You could use some password storage solution but since you are not distributing the file and the password has already served its purpose (to allow only you to read it) why not just remove it?
Wondering why I cooked up that story? To try and explain to you that to remove this kind of password you require the actual password!
Ah.. Did I hear you groan with a ‘what’s the use then?’ Well, it seems like a catch-22 initially but I have been using the feature to my advantage for some time now. Basically its like “here, I am entering the password this one time, now give me a copy of the file that doesn’t require me to enter the password subsequently.” Its somewhat like enabling auto-login in Windows, you have to provide the password only once.
The procedure to remove such passwords is as follows:

• You would have to edit the CMD file on the desktop.

• Just right click on the icon and choose “edit”. Enter <theOpenPassword> against the -sPDF option (you might have to scroll to the right of the window if you don’t see it).

• I would suggest to save the file with a different file name indicating that you can use it to remove open type passwords. That way you won’t have to edit the commands every time or type long options in the command line.
• Now, like before, just drag and drop the file with the password onto the CMD file and you will get the no password version.

FTP Server Setup via command line (ubuntu)

FTP Server

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a TCP protocol for uploading and downloading files between computers. FTP works on a client/server model. The server component is called an FTP daemon. It continuously listens for FTP requests from remote clients. When a request is received, it manages the the login and sets up the connection. For the duration of the session it executes any of commands sent by the FTP client.
Access to an FTP server can be managed in two ways:

• Anonymous
• Authenticated

In the Anonymous mode, remote clients can access the FTP server by using the default user account called 'anonymous" or "ftp" and sending an email address as the password. In the Authenticated mode a user must have an account and a password. User access to the FTP server directories and files is dependent on the permissions defined for the account used at login. As a general rule, the FTP daemon will hide the root directory of the FTP server and change it to the FTP Home directory. This hides the rest of the file system from remote sessions.

vsftpd - FTP Server Installation

vsftpd is an FTP daemon available in Ubuntu. It is easy to install, set up, and maintain. To install vsftpd you can run the following command:

sudo apt-get install vsftpd 

vsftpd - FTP Server Configuration

You can edit the vsftpd configuration file, /etc/vsftpd.conf, to change the default settings. By default only anonymous FTP is allowed. If you wish to disable this option, you should change the following line:

anonymous_enable=YES

to

anonymous_enable=NO

By default, local system users are not allowed to login to FTP server. To change this setting, you should uncomment the following line:

#local_enable=YES

By default, users are allowed to download files from FTP server. They are not allowed to upload files to FTP server. To change this setting, you should uncomment the following line:

#write_enable=YES

Similarly, by default, the anonymous users are not allowed to upload files to FTP server. To change this setting, you should uncomment the following line:

#anon_upload_enable=YES

The configuration file consists of many configuration parameters. The information about each parameter is available in the configuration file. Alternatively, you can refer to the man page, man 5 vsftpd.conf for details of each parameter.
Once you configure vsftpd you can start the daemon. You can run following command to run the vsftpd daemon:

sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start

Disassembly instructions for LaCie 301304U "Design by Neil Poulton" external hard drive

Neil Poulton may be an award winning "industrial designer," but he's not an engineer. This thing is
a bit tricky to disassemble.
The black shiny plastic top is a single piece cover over a metal bottom plate. It is held in place by
plastic bumps on the inside edges of the cover that fit into slots in the metal bottom's vertical walls.
There are no screws.
There are two bumps along each of the long edges of the plastic cover, and two similar ones on the
short side with the LED light underneath. There are two smaller bumps placed closer together on
the power/USB/switch side of the drive, and between those is another sort of vertical grapple that
holds the cover down more firmly on that side.
First, here is what the top (plastic) part of the casing looks like, turned upside down. The various
snappy things are hilighted. We will release the BLUE ones first, then the GREEN ones, and finally
the rear RED ones.

To open the case:

1. Use a thin plastic or metal thing (like a putty knife) to pry the plastic away from the metal 

bottom on one of the long sides. Insert a CD or a credit card that you don’t care about into the 

gap to hold it open.

2. Do the same thing with the other side. Your enclosure should now look like this:

(The masking tape isn't related to this procedure; I just like to 

note the voltage and polarity of the power supply on devices 

that don't come with such a label.

[12 volts 2 amps, + on the inside, - outside for this drive.])

3. Pry the side with the blue LED light under it (not the side with the power and USB connectors); 

you should be able to get the drive to fall partway out of the cover on this side if you hold it 

close to vertical and gently pry & rock the casing back & forth. Like this:

4. Carefully wiggle the cover around until it comes free of the back part. The power switch, USB 

port, and power connector are not attached to the top cover, but you should still be very careful 

not to break them. Eventually the middle post/grapple thing should let go and the cover will 

come off completely. Be careful not to drop the drive!

5. Remove the screws and the LED connector.

6. Gently, and very slowly, slide the drive forward away from the SATA connector. The connector 

is soldered onto the board, so if it breaks you’ll need to re-solder a lot of tiny connections. 

Remember to put the four screws back in when you reassemble the drive, otherwise the 

only thing holding it in will be the SATA connector and it will probably break from the 

stress!

How to FIX Fake 32 GB Kingston Pendrive (Thumb Drive)

fIXING Fake 32 GB Kingston Pendrive (Thumb Drive)

Yesterday I purchased a 32 GB Kingston Pendrive Which I found out to be fake one.
It shows & formats (32 GB Full Capacity) in Windows Explorer (windows xp, Vista)
wihout any error.

In order to fix it & know its Actual Capacity I ran some programes.
Now the problem is : It only shows 8 MB and windows cannto format it.


I googled and found some tools but thet didnt work :

Tools Used :
PDx8_2k_v327.exe (PortFree Production Program version 3.27. [Flash Disk test.zip]) - Which actual did bad i think.

MPTool-2007103-Fix-Usb-key :- Did not detect the pendrive
UdTools1.0.4.6_20081010 :- Did not detect the pendrive

ChipGenius.exe :- Gave the following result :
Device Name: +[J:]+USB Mass Storage Device(Generic Flash Disk 2.0 USB Device)

PnP Device ID: VID = 2000 PID = 2008
Serial Number: 6&&C7FC0C7&&0&&2
Revision: 2.80

Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 High-Speed

Chip Vendor: micov(???)
Chip Part-Number: MXT6208

Product Vendor: Generic
Product Model: Flash Disk 2.0

Tools on Web: http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=16769


I also opned the USB Pendrive Plastic Case & found the following Chip Number (Controler Number I think) : - HUC2168
HISUN
IPL04803.3
08HT0724
The number is different than the one shown by CHIPGENIUS.

Now How do I fix it :
1) Either to its Original State 32 GB (showed & formated well)
2) Or to its ACTUAL CAPACITY (Which is for shore >= 1 GB)

Format Large Partitions on FAT32

If you get runtime error, try debug version.

How to fix "fake" pendrives

1. Click here to download PortFree Production Program version 3.27.
2. Extract it and run it. You can use 7-zip, IZArc or the latest version of WinRAR to decompress 7-zip.
3. The interface is kinda **** but that's because it's translated (badly) from chinese or something. It should show a list of all USB flashdrives connected to your computer. Don't click on "Check Flash" or it will disconnect the pendrive, instead, click on "OPTION"
4. Clink on the "Flash Test" tab. Check only the box "Low Level Format" and set Mode to "All Blocks".
5. Click on the "Capacity Adjust" tab. Here you'll set the real size of your flash drive. Fake pendrives are usually 128 to 256 MB flash drives with that report a fake capacity that's way bigger. This fixes this. Try a higher capacity FIRST.
6. Click on the "Others" tab. Check "Removable"
7. Click "OK" and you'll be back at the main window. Click "RUN" and the process will begin.
8. Wait until it ends.

Now you'll have a pendrive that, despite being smaller than advertised, will work like a normal pendrive.
