			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alien Swarm is a game which uses the Source SDK. Alien Swarm is a release from a group of talented designers at Valve who were hired from the Mod community. Its the sequel to Alien Breed: Impact, which was build using the unreal engine. Its a top down squad-based shooter where you can level your character and gain new guns and aditional items.<span id="more-1817"></span></p>
</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss1.jpg"><img src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss1.jpg" width="250px"></a><a href="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss2.jpg"><img src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss2.jpg" width="250px"></a><a href="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss3.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss3.jpg" width="250px"></a><a href="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss4.jpg"><img src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-ss4.jpg" width="250px"></a><br /></center>
</p>
<p>Now what is Alien Swarm exactly? Steam gives us the following description, which actually fits it perfectly:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tactical, 4 player co-op action game with a top-down perspective</li>
<li>Complete game code and mod tools</li>
<li>Unlock persistent items by gaining levels</li>
<li>Over 40 weapons and equipment with countless loadout configurations</li>
<li>4 unique classes and 8 unique characters</li>
<li>Matchmaking, Steam Cloud, Steam Stats</li>
<li>64 Steam achievements</li>
<li>Tile-based map generation tool</li>
<li>Powered by Source and Steam</li>
</ul>
<p>The game consists of 4 different classes and 8 different characters (2 characters per class). Each class has it&#8217;s own special weapons and items. You can choose one of the following:</p>
</p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-swarm-characters.jpg" width="600px"><br /></center>
</p>
<h2>What are the requirements?</h2>
<p>Operating System: Windows® 7 / Vista / Vista64 / XP<br />Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz<br />Memory: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista<br />Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible video card with 128 MB, Shader model 2.0. ATI X800, NVidia 6600 or better<br />Hard Drive: At least 2.5 GB of free space<br />Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card</p>
<h2>How do i get Alien Swarm?</h2>
<p>Alien Swarm is free for now, and is provided by Valve through the Steam platform. This means you are going to have to get yourself a Steam account. You can get an account for free at steam&#8217;s website. Even easier is to directly download the steam client:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://cdn.steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.msi">Download Steam client</a></li>
</ul>
<p>When you downloaded the steam client register for a free account and follow the steps below.</p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure you have the minimal system requirements</li>
<li>Run the Steam client and login</li>
<li>Go to the Library</li>
<li>In the search box, enter: Alien Swarm</li>
<li>Download the game, it&#8217;s about 2GB so how long this takes depends on your internet connection speed</li>
<li>When the download has finished your Steam client should install the game itself and all you have to do is sit back and wait</li>
<li>When the game is installed your good to go and you can get your game on!</li>
<li>Tweak your settings if neccesary, see <a href="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1371124" title="" target="">here</a>.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Custom maps</h2>
<p>At the moment you can only play one campaign, i admit its a nice campaign but it gets boring over time so thats why you can make custom maps yourself! or you can download them. We have collected a couple for you and you can download them from OrangeSwarm. When new releases are made we will post them here aswell so make sure you post a comment containing a link to the file when you find new nice custom maps!</p>
<p><center>
<p><font color="yellow"><i>THESE MAPS ARE OUTDATED.<br /></i></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); "><i>However, when trying to play them a link to the latest version will be shown.</i></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello and welcome to my installation guide for Garry&#8217;s Mod 10/11. This guide is to show you how to get Garry&#8217;s Mod 11 without the need to have Steam installed, and obviously you will get it for free as well.  Garry&#8217;s Mod is a sandbox mod running on the Source engine. Unlike many other games, Garry&#8217;s Mod does not have any predefined goals or aims. You are given tools and objects, and with these objects, you can build whatever you like. You could perhaps create a catapult from light poles and dumpsters, or maybe a car from a door and wheels. You can also pose models for things such as comics (comics are pretty big in the Garry&#8217;s Mod community). Garry&#8217;s Mod (in my opinion) is one of the best games out there because the possibilities are limitless. There a thousands of mods and maps for Garry&#8217;s Mod to expand your options.</p>
<div id="attachment_1750" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1750" href="http://www.setupswarm.com/main/games/installation-guides/garrys-mod-1011-no-steam/attachment/garrys_mod-tub"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1750 " src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/garrys_mod-tub-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Garry</p></div>
<p><strong>Downloading</strong><br />
Everything you need (including the Source engine) comes with this torrent. You will also need Winrar if you don&#8217;t have it.</p>
<ul>
<li>Garry&#8217;s Mod full torrent (from TPB):  tinyurl.com/yfhvp8q</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm</li>
</ul>
<p>You will not need any kind of crack for the game. The download should take anywhere from 30-45 minutes, depending on your internet.</p>
<p><strong>Installing Garry&#8217;s Mod 11</strong></p>
<p>The torrent contained 4 files, all .rar files. There should  <em>game</em>, <em>garrysmod, GCF, tools.</em></p>
<p>This is sort of a long process. You will need to follow every step carefully.</p>
<ol>
<li>Extract ALL of the .rar files. It doesn&#8217;t matter where you extract them to, as long as you have access to them.</li>
<li><em>Game </em>is the actual game itself, it contains the Source engine and all the files you need for Garry&#8217;s Mod. Inside of the <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span>folder should be several different things. Ignore everything except for the Garry&#8217;s Mod 11 Shortcut.</li>
<li>The shortcut is broken, so you will need to fix it. It originally points to the D: drive (lol) and it needs to be pointed to your hl2.exe file. You need to move your whole<span style="font-style: italic"> Game </span>folder to wherever you want its permanent location to be. The best place would probably be in your Program Files or Program Files (x86) in your C: drive, but it&#8217;s up to you.</li>
<li>Once you have cut and pasted it to where you want it, rename the <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span>folder to something like Gmod or Garrysmod. Try not to use any symbols when renaming it.</li>
<li>Open up your newly renamed <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span>folder. Now we need to fix that shortcut. Right click on the<br />
Garry&#8217;s Mod 11 Shortcut and then click Properties. A box should come up.</li>
<li>You should automatically be on the Shortcut tab. Next to target, it should point to something crazy like in your D: drive or something. Erase that. You need to direct it to your hl2.exe file. It should be in your <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span><span style="font-weight: bold"> </span><span style="font-style: italic"> </span>folder. After you have it targeted, add this onto the end of it. Make sure there is a space: <span style="font-weight: bold">-steam -game garrysmod -appid 4001</span></li>
<li>Next you need to change your Start In location. This needs to point to the folder that holds everything, your <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span>folder. After all this is done, it should look something like this: http://i46.tinypic.com/2958tq8.jpg</li>
<li>That&#8217;s it! Now you shortcut should be working correctly and Garry&#8217;s Mod 11 should launch. You can move this shortcut out of the <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span>folder and place it elsewhere now.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold"><br />
Modding and Addons<br />
</span>When you downloaded the torrent, you got a folder called <span style="font-style: italic">garrysmod</span>. This folder contains Addons and other things you can add into the game if you would like. To add these things to your game, open the <span style="font-style: italic">garrysmod </span>folder and select all the contents of it. Cut (you can copy but it will take a while) and paste all these folders inside of your <span style="font-style: italic">garrysmod </span>folder. This folder is found in your <span style="font-style: italic">Game </span>folder, the one that you probably renamed. You will know if it works.</p>
<p>New addons can be found on different websites around the web. Try fpsbanana.com or moddb.com. You cannot use the major modding website because it requires you to prove you own Garry&#8217;s Mod 11 before you can download mods. That website is garrysmod.org.</p>
<p>Installing addons is very easy, just drop them into your Garrysmod &gt; Addons folder.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">FAQ</span></p>
<p>When I try to run Garry&#8217;s Mod, nothing happens! (OR) I get an error message!</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold">You might not have Targeted the right thing when you had to change things in the Shortcut. Make sure you check and see it&#8217;s Targeting hl2.exe and make sure your Start In is set to your Game folder.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold"><br />
</span>My shortcut works okay, but for some reason I get a &#8220;YOU DONT OWN GARRY&#8217;S MOD 10&#8243; message!<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-weight: bold"> </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold">You have Steam running. Make sure you close out of Steam before running Garry&#8217;s Mod.<span style="font-weight: bold"> </span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-weight: bold"><br />
</span></span>When in-game, I get a ton of error messages!</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold">You probably didn&#8217;t install your Addons correctly. There are lots of videos on YouTube on how to install addons.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Okay everything works great&#8230; but how do I do stuff?<span style="font-weight: bold"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-weight: bold"><br />
</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-weight: bold">When in-game, hold down the Q key to open up the menu. It has everything you need in it.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">Final Words:</span><br />
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. If you are absolutely clueless when it comes to changing the Shortcut, please check out this video:</p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kj6EBJ0aIP0&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kj6EBJ0aIP0&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THIS GAME, IF YOU LIKE IT, PLEASE BUY IT! IT&#8217;S 10 DOLLARS ON THE STEAM STORE!!!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Calculating the file hash for your downloaded files is a convenient way of verifying if the file posted on the server is the same as the one you downloaded. While algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1 are still widely used, in the near future SHA-3 will be the new standard. Below I will mention a few applications that will help you evaluate the authenticity of your file on Windows. Some will have a console interface while others will have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for you to conduct recursive checks or to execute the check function from your context menu.</p>
<p>Cyohash is a simple application to assist the end-user in calculating the file hash. You can conveniently check the file hash via the program window or context menu. Another plus is that Cyohash is Open-Source and it also has a very small memory footprint at 587Kb.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Overview of Windows Security</em><br />
While there are many features of the Windows OS that are useful, many of them are left dorment and take up space. While active it eats away at your RAM, makes Volume Shadow Copies in the System Volume Information folder, dumps logs of your activities, fragments your MFT<span id="more-1705"></span>, facilitates drive-by downloads, provides another avenue for crackers or black-hat hackers to intrude/infiltrate your system, and sometimes allows them get right under (or through) your firewall/security system (especially in the case of the BITS service).</p>
<p>Worst of all is unbeknownst to the user, Windows can also install patches and collect data covertly without notifying the user as seen in the 2006, 2008-09 incident where Windows was under the scrutiny of the public eye for the installation of a patch (Windows systems were vulnerable for 17 years before it came to light). Now we can take action to protect ourselves from those potential threats.</p>
<p>Here are some practical preventative procedures to secure your Windows Operating System (OS).<br />
If you feel something is unfathomable or outside your comfort zone, simply skip the procedure because you&#8217;d know your system more than I do here in Australia. For security reasons, making a recovery disc is necessary to save yourself from unnecessary trouble. Ultimately, it&#8217;s your best judgment in the matter.</p>
<p><strong>System Hardening</strong></p>
<hr/>
<em>Background</em><br />
Below are a number of tools that I find have been useful to make your Windows OS less visible on the Internet, particularly from those zombies controlled by bot net servers and those who lurk in the dark net. I will also mention two methods to secure your Windows OS in case you have not patched your system.</p>
<p><em>Security Tool</em><br />
The Windows Worm Door Cleaner is a non-install free application that closes and prevents access to the most commonly targetted ports which are open by default on Windows systems. These are 135 (RPC), 137-139 (file-sharing), 445 (Server Message Block: SMB) and the Windows Messenger service port (SPAM). It&#8217;s no surprise why it was removed from later Windows releases (post XP*).</p>
<p>This program was hosted on the firewallleaktester website, but now is provided on other security webportals.</p>
<p><em>Download</em><br />
Here is the download link and the checksum verification code:-<br />
<a href="http://hotfile.com/dl/45142301/d866a84/wwdc.exe.html">http://hotfile.com/dl/45142301/d866a84/wwdc.exe.html</a> (51KBs)<br />
Company: gkweb<br />
File Version: 1.4.1.0<br />
MD5checksum: 999f6e5c8d5c81f48afbdab7f8777323  wwdc.exe</p>
<p><em>Implementation</em><br />
Simply execute the program (right-click -&gt; Run as Administrator), close all the ports, and restart your computer.</p>
<p>For Windows Vista or higher, if there is a pop-up that informs you the value for the Windows Messenger Service in the Windows Registry cannot be found, click OK to proceed. The reason is because it is not installed (see above*).</p>
<p>To undo any changes, run the program again and click Open Ports to re-enable these services.</p>
<p><em>Verification</em><br />
To verify that the vulnerable Windows ports are now closed, open a Command Prompt window (cmd.exe or conhost.exe for Windows 7) and type:</p>
<p><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2a6ulhf.jpg" alt="Command prompt" width="90%" /></p>
<p>netstat -aonbv, or</p>
<p>if you are not operating with Administrator privileges:</p>
<p>netstat -aon</p>
<p>This will list all the &#8220;listening&#8221; ports on your computer.</p>
<hr/>
<em>Follow-up</em><br />
For people who find it difficult to close port 135 after using the Windows Worm Door Cleaner, you can use the tool created by the Gibson Research Center called the DCOMBobulator.</p>
<p>This will effectively close port 135, stopping one more port that an intruder might use to compromise your system.</p>
<p><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/2z3w6kw.jpg" alt="Click on Disable DCOM" width="90%" /></p>
<p><em>Download</em><br />
Here is the download link and checksum verification code:-</p>
<p><a href="http://hotfile.com/dl/45143403/27ef5d0/DCOMbob.exe.html">http://hotfile.com/dl/45143403/27ef5d0/DCOMbob.exe.html</a> (29KBs)<br />
Company: Gibson Research Corp.<br />

<em>Background of malware propagation via physical mediums</em><br />
Today, a lot of malware is actually spread via USB transactions. In retrospect, floppy disks used to overwrite the boot sector, hence boot sector virus. Now with the advent of the Universal Serial Bus (USB), Firewire and people being more &#8220;networked&#8221;, simply plugging in a USB drive into a running OS is enough to allow the malware to propagate. Here is one method of mitigating these attacks by stopping malware from writing to &#8220;autorun.inf&#8221;. The next section deals with ways to prevent executable files from running in &#8216;undefined&#8217; pathways.</p>
<p><em>Security Tool</em><br />
Panda Security has released a program called the Panda USB Vaccine and its purpose is to set an autorun.inf file that cannot be overwritten easily through convention means. The safest option is to format your USB before using the program and be certain that any malware or data that may have been contained in your $Recycler or areas on the drive are cleared.</p>
<p>Then install the Panda USB Vaccine to vaccinate your computer. The current version supports File Allocation Table (FAT) 16/32 drives, but not full support for New Technology Files Systems (NTFS). However, as with all the applications above, you can undo any changes made by re-running the program and selecting &#8220;remove vaccination&#8221;.</p>

Secure RPC service (for unpatched Windows versions)<br />
I am fairly certain that every person in the IT security industry has heard of the Conficker worm, also referred to as Downadup. To prevent the B variant from installing on your system, you need to set a rule to block the Conficker entry, essentially securing the RPC service.</p>
<p>Simply open a Command Prompt window and enter the entries below where [X:\&gt;] refers to your drive letter:-</p>
<p>X:\&gt;netsh&gt;rpc<br />
X:\&gt;netsh rpc&gt;filter<br />
X:\&gt;netsh rpc filter&gt;add rule layer=um actiontype=block<br />
X:\&gt;netsh rpc filter&gt;add condition field=if_uuid matchtype=equal data=4b324fc8-1670-01d3-1278-5a47bf6ee188<br />
X:\&gt;netsh rpc filter&gt;add filter</p>
<p><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/6fqidt.jpg" alt="Image Guide" width="90%" /></p>
<p><em>Verification</em><br />
X:\&gt;netsh rpc filter&gt;show filter</p>
<p>Basically &#8220;actiontype=block&#8221; is a rule that will block an entry on the condition (in the case that) the entry equals that data block.</p>
<p>Adding the filter enforces the rule.<br />
You can remove the filter with the remove parameter.</p>
<hr/>
<em>Additional notes</em><br />
For Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Users – Below we explain a method to restrict the execution (running) of programs in unspecified areas. You can use this to stop the WAT service before it logs all your activities in the Windows Registry and reports to Microsoft Servers (Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate versions)<br />
We know of tools like RemoveWAT225 which are capable of removing the WAT, but this method is to teach you how to stop executable files from running without your implicit instructions.</p>
<hr/>
<p>Using the Group Policy Objects (GPO) to enforce security policies is a very powerful tool – in fact, it can even stop any executable file from running such as shortcuts or extensions like vbs, msc, bat, com etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Simply execute gpedit.msc via the run command (windows button + R, or start menu)</p>
<p>or find it in your %systemroot%\system32 folder, or for x64, \windows\syswow64 folder</p>
<p>e.g. C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc      |      C:\Windows\Syswow64\</p>
<p>When the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) opens, navigate to Software Restriction Policy:-</p>
<p>Local Computer Policy &gt; Windows Settings &gt; Security Settings &gt; Software Restriction Policy</p>
<p>Right-click on the folder and &#8216;Add Security Policy&#8217;</p>
<p>Double-click on the folder &#8216;Additional Rules&#8217; in the menu bar select Action (Alt right-key, down-key),<br />
click on New Path Rule</p>
<p>Under Path: type in C:\Windows\System32\Wat or C:\Windows\syswow64\Wat</p>
<p>(replace C:\ with the system partition drive, or simply replace it with %systemroot%\)</p>
<p>The Security level should be set to Disallowed (default value to prevent execution)</p>
<p>Restart your computer and the WAT service will no longer be running.</p>
<p>To undo the changes, simply remove the GPO Path Rule<br />
Alternatively, you can delete the Registry entry that enforces the GPO rule.<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Policies\Safer\*</p>
<p>To remove some restrictions to allow you to easily navigate your system you need to remove the extension or set the appropriate permission in each case as shown below.</p>
<p><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/331d452.jpg" alt="Designated File Types" width="90%" /></p>
<hr/>
The Windows Hosts file<br />
The hosts file is, by default, located on your Windows OS at: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc<br />
Its function is to define the addresses that you request. Basically, it&#8217;s your map to where you want to go on the Internet. Ordinarily, a website has a domain name like www.setupswarm.com, but its IP (Internet Protocol) address is like the Map/GPS coordinates that helps you find your way around the Internet.</p>
<p>However, thanks to the versatility and powerful computer languages being able to execute functions in different environments, users like us are more vulnerable to &#8220;tricks&#8221; such as spoofing, phishing attempts (fake e-mail requesting user information), even VoiP Vishing (Voice over IP) and DNS cache poisoning (classic), malformed iFrames, Man-in-the-middle attacks &#8211; the list goes on.</p>
<p>The rising trend in malicious activity comes in the form of &#8220;drive-by&#8221; downloads. If you or I just visit a website like CNN or ABC, our computer could be compromised. We can protect ourselves by <strong>redirecting</strong> the malicious sites to your local host (127.0.0.1).</p>
<p>What this means is, your computer doesn&#8217;t try to find the address on the Internet, it tries to find it on your computer. These private addresses are inaccessible from the Internet because it&#8217;s like trying to find a museum on your residence. Hence, it will not &#8220;resolve&#8221; itself, and you won&#8217;t be caught in harms way.</p>
<p><em>Security Tool</em><br />
A number of people have posted &#8220;blacklists&#8221; on sites such as MVPS, hosts-file, malwaredomainlist and so on. Using an application known as Hostsman will help you optimise your use of the Windows hosts file to prevent access to known malicious sites.</p>
<p><em>Troubleshooting</em><br />
If you suddenly experience slow browsing and the DNS Client service is still running, open a command prompt window and type:<br />
ipconfig /flushdns<br />
net stop dnsclient<br />
Alternatively, in Administrative Tools &gt; services.msc (right-click &gt; Run as Administrator)<br />
Disable the DNS Client service<br />
Restart</p>
<p><em>Exceptions</em><br />
You can also add an &#8220;exclusion&#8221; to access a site. One of the limitations of using the hosts file is that the address specified must be static. As an example, malicious sites must be defined &#8211; &#8220;baddykkp.info&#8221;, &#8220;baddykkpx.info&#8221; and the list goes on. Since malicious users will just change the name anyway, we need to find a work around.</p>

<p><em>Limitations and Development</em><br />
Over time, things have developed to a point where people believe that blacklists just don&#8217;t cut it. Just like a firewall that stealths all ports by default, there should be a &#8220;whitelist&#8221;, a list of trusted sites that we can access instead of &#8220;blacklisted sites&#8221; that number in the billions. I have avoided this feature because I&#8217;m not very paranoid and don&#8217;t want to be oppressed by &#8220;parental controls&#8221;.</p>
<p>Instead, we can use PACs (Proxy Auto-Config). It tells your browser what to avoid by using wildcards. Wildcards means that everything before and/or after this entry is Disallowed. For example, *.pokemon.* tells the browser not to go to any site with pokemon in its domain name, so www.ieat<strong>pokemon</strong>forbreakfast.biz would not resolve.</p>
<p>These can be found at the website below:<br />
<a href="http://securemecca.com/pac.html">http://securemecca.com/pac.html</a></p>
<p><em>Troubleshooting</em><br />
When your browser reports that a page could not resolve, open the file &#8220;proxy_en.txt&#8221;,<br />
Ctrl + F to find a keyword (usually in the URL address), and remove it.<br />
Save, exit your browser, and try again. Alternatively, use the Reload feature.</p>
<p><img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/33zg009.jpg" alt="PAC configuration" width="90%" /></p>
<p>I only know that the Mozilla browser supports this reload feature, so please inform me of any other browsers that support the PAC reload function.</p>
<p><em>Future Expectations</em><br />
Despite our best efforts, there is always the fear that human error will undo all these safeguards. Here, the ingenious laboratory <del>mad</del> scientists are developing the Blade Defender which is a robust system with a 100% success rate of preventing drive-by downloads by testing and stopping 0-day attempts at compromising systems. However, it is still under development so it has not been officially released. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing this protecting us in the future.<br />
<a href="http://www.blade-defender.org/">www.blade-defender.org</a></p>
<p>It is likely that virtualisation in hardware form will become more prominent for the end-user. In the mean time, you can run programs in a Sandbox and any changes made will not affect your system &#8211; unfortunately, misconfiguration and &#8220;undiscovered&#8221; features may present unforeseen consequences.</p>
<p>Therefore, I recommend that you backup your system, have a Live recovery disk (preferably Linux), a system image backup (plenty of open-source software to be found at sourceforge.net), and if you feel up to it, complete drive encryption, TPM and the works.</p>
<p>There may be articles in the future if I am permitted to post again after this mammoth article, but hopefully it has helped you to understand more of what is happening in your computing environment. Never download screensavers, and if you like playing with toys and testing things out (I know I do!), try using a Virtualualised Environment to work out all your experiments. VMWare (free or commercial), VirtualBox (free and open-source) and others can solve many problems with having only one or two PCs.</p>
<p>I have done my best to avoid all the technical jargon, but if you feel that there are any steps that need clarifying or too parsimonious, please post a comment below and I will help however I can.</p>
<p><em>Final notes</em><br />
All Operating Systems have their advantages and limitations, so it would be a mistake to assume any one OS is more secure than another. It is a human creation and will be imperfect if another human were to introduce &#8220;bugs&#8221; and &#8220;tweaks&#8221; during development; the notorious patch; the seemingly innocent sister; the lithesome fingers that work the dvorak/qwerty keys; and the infamous beta. If you must use beta software, please try to avoid using it on your work PC. It might bring out unprecented consequences and make your system more vulnerable.</p>
<p>If you would like to setup a system that rollbacks any changes made have a look at Shadow Defender, Returnil (I experienced some BSODs so I avoided this one &#8211; beta, later editions possible fixed issues) and others.</p>
<p>I have decided against suggesting Harden-It as a security tool, but feel free to try it. For post-XP systems, you need to run and set Compatibility Mode as Windows XP (SP2). It basically adds Windows Registry Entries to secure your network. I believe it works on servers also. Use SSL1.0, 3.0, TLS 1.1, 1.2, etc&#8230; but not SSL v2.0 since there has been talk of vulnerabilities concerning that protocol.</p>
<p>Just a reminder, installing plenty of security software won&#8217;t protect you more. It&#8217;s like stacking yourself with ironclad armor, then a copper-stove onto your head. You&#8217;ll be blinded, tired from the heavy CPU load, a bit queasy from loss of RAM, and potentially fatal&#8230; flatulence? Try to limit real-time scanners to one, support open-source since it helps developers make free and transparent software, and don&#8217;t go overboard because we&#8217;re all liable for our own actions.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to thank everyone here at setupswarm and the inspiring, hard-working individuals that made the security tools discussed above. Any comments from people not suffering from a&#8230; consideration defecit, are duly welcome.</p>

I case you didn’t know this is the seventh splinter cell game since 2002. Splinter cell is Microsofts answer to Sony’s Metal Gear Solid.<span id="more-1620"></span> This means that stealth and spying play a large role in the game.</p>
<p>So lets have a quick look at what this title brings to the table. You now have the Mark and Execute feature. It allows you to distract a guard by shooting out a light and then making quick work of him. The other feature is that guards will now assume that you are where they last saw you, allowing you to flank them which is pretty fun for a couple of times. You can also “blend in” with crowds, which I though was a rip-off from Assassins Creed, but whatever.</p>

<li>Access the folder to where you mounted it and doubleclick the autostart file.</li>
<li>Install the game</li>
<li>Go back to the mount folder and access the &#8220;Skidrow folder&#8221; or extract the crack from the rar file we provided.</li>
<li>Copy all of the content from that folder into the Splinter Cell game folder (something like C:Program Files..)</li>
<li>Access the Splinter Cell Folder and run the crack, gu.exe, you copied into it (.srcsystemgu.exe).</li>
<li>Play!</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/Assasins_Creed_2_render.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Assassin's Creed 2 cover" src="http://www.setupswarm.com/wp-content/uploads/Assasins_Creed_2_render.jpg" alt="" width="300"></a><br />So like recently I was planning on getting Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2 on my ps3 until it happened&#8230; mum took it off me since I managed to squeeze in 39 hours of Modern Warfare 2 in two days. Not my best but I see why she did that to me.<span id="more-1581"></span>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So my dreams have been shattered since and waiting on my tests results to see if I &#8220;have earned the right&#8221; to play my ps3 again (even though I payed for the bloody thing). Till then, I had to find another way of play such a marvelous game. I found a decent solution, PLAY IT ON THE PC! Even though my PC isn&#8217;t state of the art. It had more then enough junk in its trunk to pack a punch at this game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;I managed to find the Skidrow Version of AC2 on PirateBay. They said it took them quite a while to make a crack for this game because it basically required you to have internet connection at all times while you play the game. Thankfully, they managed to create one which attracted more than 800 leechers in the first hour of release.</p>
<h2>Downloading</h2>
<p>You&#8217;ll need to download two thing here. Thats unless you already have number 2 on your computer</p>
<ul>
<li>Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2 download link: <a href="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5507149/Assassins_Creed_II-SKIDROW">Assasins Creed torrent</a></li>
<li>Daemon Tools lite download link: <a href="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5228308/DAEMON_Tools_Lite_v4.35.5__p0wersurge_">Daemon Tools lite v4.35.5 torrent</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Just the crack<br />For those that downloaded a version without a crack, we are hosting it for you right here:</p>
<ul>
<li>Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.</li>
<li><i>Contains: AC2-Crack.exe &amp; ubiorbitapi_r2.dll</i></li>
</ul>
<h2>Installing Assasin&#8217;s Creed 2</h2>
<p>First I&#8217;ll show you guys how to install Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2.<br />It took me around 4-5 hours to download the entire game. I  stood at around 200-340kb/s</p>
<ol>
<li>Turn on Daemon Tools Lite.</li>
<li>Mount the file name called &#8220;sr-acii&#8221;</li>
<li>Access the folder to where you mounted it and open up the UPDATE folder on the DVD.</li>
<li>Run the v1.01exe and let it automatically update.</li>
<li>Go back to the mount folder and access the &#8220;Skidrow folder&#8221; or extract the crack from the rar file we provide</li>
<li>Copy all of the content from that folder into the &#8220;Ubisoft Game Launcher&#8221; folder&#8221;</li>
<li>Access the Assassin&#8217;s Creed II Folder and run &#8220;AssassinsCreedIIGame&#8221;</li>
<li>Play!</li>
</ol>

<p>Hi there starcraft lovers (you have to be since you are desperately trying to get your hands on a way to play Starcraft II while its still in the beta testing fase!). Well we were providing a awesome crack to you, and we are providing a new crack for you aswell!!! <span id="more-1463"></span>. The old crack (<a title="Starcraft II beta: Cracked" href="/main/games/installation-guides/starcraft-ii-beta-cracked">Starcraft II beta: Cracked</a>) worked great untill <a href="http://sclegacy.com/news/23-sc2/650-starcraft-ii-beta-patch-8-version-010014803">beta build 0.10.0.14803</a> showed up which in fact screwed up the crack and broke everthing.</p>
<p>We did provide a solution for you guys, which was to uninstall the crack and reinstall it without updating. However somebody has provided us with a much better solution, giving you the possibility to play with the latest beta builds! Also, because you can now play with the latest beta build&#8230; can create your own maps!!! now is that awesome or what? simply update to the latest build and you should get the official Galaxy Map Editor to create your own maps with.</p>
<p>If you really like this game make sure you buy it, buying the game grands you a free beta key aswell!</p>

<h2>Starcraft II: All-In-One User Interface</h2>
<p>This crack is a very easy installer that includes everyting you need&#8230; the login bypass, the lazylauncher 2, and starcrack AI 7.0. The installation is really easy and all thats left for you to get is maps and maybe some additional AI.</p>
<h3>Why didnt we promote it untill now?</h3>
<p>This &#8220;new&#8221; starcraft crack has in fact been around just as long as the Starcraft II beta launcher we provide. The thing is that the Launcher was way further and gave so much less errors that it wasnt worth it to try the all-in-one user interface crack. Now the thing is, the beta launcher is no longer supported by the developer and because of that its out dated (you cant play with it anymore after patching beyond beta build version 0.10.0.14803) and the all-in-one user interface is not outdated!</p>
<h3>What files do i need?</h3>
<p>Alright there are in fact three things you need, the beta client, the crack and some maps. Ofcourse we provide this all to you!</p>
<ul>
<li>A pc that has the minimal system requirements</li>
<li>Starcraft II: beta client</li>
<li>Starcraft II: All-In-One user interface</li>
</ul>
<h3>What does it support?</h3>
<p>With the All-In-One user interface you can select:</p>
<ul>
<li>game type;</li>
<li>game speed;</li>
<li>game type;</li>
<li>races;</li>
<li>up to eight players;</li>
<li>Set starting locations;</li>
<li>customize team play options such (like ally unit control and resource share);</li>
<li>Select multiple AI&#8217;s to play against;</li>
<li>Watch replays.</li>
</ul>
<p>Continue reading below to see where to get these files and how to use them! Read the guide please and follow the steps exactly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is a really fun game inspired by the Warcraft III multiplayer map Defence of the Ancients (DotA). It is a really fun concept to play. Both personal and teamwork skills are put to the test and its easy to get absorbed in the game.<span id="more-1422"></span> As with all epic games, the aim is simple. Destroy the enemy base and you win.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">There are two sides, good and evil. This is clearly reflected by the map and structures on both sides. On the evil side burned trees and lots of ash make up most of the scenery. The colors grey and red play prominent roles in giving it an evil look. The good side actually looks very warm and happy, with lushes trees and wooden structures. This clear difference between good and evil is a great addition to the atmosphere and character of the game. You never have to wonder which side you are on.</div>
<div></div>
</p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://setupswarm.com/chryseus/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/HeroesOfNewerthBackground.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-125" title="HeroesOfNewerthBackground" src="http://setupswarm.com/chryseus/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/HeroesOfNewerthBackground-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
</p>
<div>Then there are the heroes, lots of them. For beginning players this is really tricky. The vast amount of heroes from which a player can pick from present an important decision which is difficult to make. A team with only ranged units will find them selfs in dire trouble the moment a rogue stabs them in the back. The heroes them self look really awesome and I constantly ended up picking heroes just for the way the look.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Another fun element in the game are the items. Creeps (units) constantly spawn from the two bases and will clash somewhere on the map. When you kill these creeps, or an enemy hero, you gain gold. With this you can purchase various items. Some items combined form an greater item. This really opens the door to experimenting with different items and some are very fun to own.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">From my personal experience from game I really enjoyed the atmosphere, but I was thrown in the deep when it came to picking a hero. Quite often I picked the wrong hero and ended up with a hero meant for advanced players on a balanced team. This aspect could be build upon.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Since there currently is an open-beta and the download is very small I highly recommend giving it a try. Worst case you will have lost an hour or two.</div>

<li>Uncheck &#8220;My Nero is HD edition&#8221;</li>
<li>License: Retail single</li>
</ul>
<li>alright now you are going to have to grab a serial for each Nero application your going to use</li>
<ul>
<li><em>Recommended: Grab a serial for every Nero application, i mean&#8230; why not?</em></li>
</ul>
<li>To generate serials for all the products there is an easy way which is simply selecting the application in the drop down list, generate a key and press &#8220;Add to white list&#8221;</li>
<ul>
<li>Select Nero 9.0 > press &#8220;Add to white list&#8221;</li>

</ul>
<li>If you want to see the serials you have just generated you can click &#8220;License manager&#8221;
<li>If your done generating serials just close the keygen, your done with it.
<li>Now pay attention, you are going to have to delete some files nero just installed</li>
<li>Go to: (C:) Program Files(x86) > Common Files > Nero > AdvrCntr4</li>
<ul>
<li>Delete: NeroPatentActivation.exe (obvious)</li>
<li>Delete: NOSProductRegistration.dll (Component for Product Registrations Services) </li>
<li>Delete: NOSUsageStatistics.dll (Component for Usage Statistics)</li>
</ul>
<li>Go to: (C:) Program Files(x86) > Nero > Nero ControlCenter4 > OnlineServices</li>
<ul>
<li>Delete: NOSMyNeroRegistration.dll (component for Registration Services)</li>
<li>DO NOT DELETE: AdvrCtr4.dll (If deleted your Nero 9 installation becomes virtually useless)</li>
</ul>
<li>Now thats done each and every Nero 9 application you just installed has to be blocked in your firewall</li>
<ul>
<li>Note: If nero connects to the internet it locks up</li>
</ul>
<li>Go to your firewall and block the internet access for the following programs:</li>
<li>The following files are in the &#8220;(C:) Program Files(x86) > Nero > Nero 9&#8243; folder</li>
<ul>
<li>Nero StartSmart > Block SmartStart.exe</li>
<li>Nero ShowTime > Block ShowTime.exe</li>
<li>Nero DiscSpeed > Block DiscSpeed.exe</li>
<li>Nero DiscCopy Gadget > Blocking not required</li>
<li>Nero WaveEditor > Block WaveEditor.exe</li>
<li>Nero SoundTrax > Block SoundTrax.exe</li>
<li>Nero Recode > Block Recode.exe</li>
<li>Nero PhotoSnap > Block PhotoSnap.exe</li>
<li>Nero Burning ROM > Block Burning ROM.exe</li>
<li>Nero Express > Block Express.exe</li>
<li>Nero CoverDesigner > Block CoverDesigner.exe</li>
<li>Nero Vision > Block Vision.exe</li>
<li>Nero DriveSpeed > Block DriveSpeed.exe</li>
<li>Nero BurnRights > Block BurnRights.exe</li>
<li>Nero RescueAgent > Block RescueAgent.exe</li>
<li>Nero InfoTool > block InfoTool.exe</li>
<li>Nero PhotoSnap Viewer > Block photosnap.exe + Photosnap viewer.exe</li>
<li>Nero ControlCenter > Block ControlCenter.exe</li>
</ul>
<li>The following files are in the &#8220;(C:) Program Files(x86) > Common Files > Nero > Nero ControlCenter4&#8243; folder</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Block ncc.exe</li>
</ul>
<li>The following files are in the &#8220;(C:) Program Files(x86) > Common Files > Nero > Nero BackItUp4&#8243; folder</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Block NBCore.exe</li>
<li>Block NBService.exe</li>
</ul>
<li>Well thats that for the blocking, however if you have add-on(s) such as MoveIt, or BackItUp and Burn, you also need to block theire .exe with your firewall aswell</li>
<ul>
<li><em>Example: for Nero BackItIp block: (C:)Program Files(x86)>Nero>Nero BackItUp &#038; Burn>Nero BackItUp.exe</em></li>
<li><em>Note: Make sure you are only running ONE firewall, if not sure, check: Control Panel>System and Security>Windows Firewall</em></li>
<li><em>Note: there is a few .exe to block so please pay attention.</em></li>
</ul>
<li>Reboot</li>
<li>When rebooting is done, double check all your steps, cause really, do you want to do this all over again do you?
<ul>
<li><em>Note: Check &#8220;Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features&#8221; It should say you have installed Nero 9, not Nero 9 trial, but in case it does it aint a problem either.</em><./li></ul>
<li>Re-enable or start up your Antivirus program.</li>
<li>Reconnect your internet. (re-enable your network adapters)</li>
<li>Start Nero 9 and it should run fine! if it doesnt, look below before posting.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Nero still doesnt work?</h2>
<p>Well to be honest, you probably messed or missed a step. In case you skipped any step on purpose&#8230; well thats your problem than because I did warn you. Now lets fix the problem, which isnt hard&#8230; its just another bit of work.</p>
<ol>
<li>Download Nero CleanTool: <a href="ftp://ftp6.nero.com/tools/General-CleanTool.zip" target="_blank">Direct download link for Nero CleanTool</a></li>
<ul>
<li>Recommended: Safe to desktop so you can remove it when your done</li>
</ul>
<li>Unzip the ZIP-file with WinZip or WinRAR and save the contents</li>
<li>double-click on the EXE-file that popped out to start the CleanTool.</li>
<ul>
<li>Note: Nero General CleanTool should open and show the installed Nero products</li>
</ul>
<li>Now check the boxes next to the Nero products you want to remove.</li>
<ul>
<li>Recommended: Remove ALL the Nero products you just installed&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<li>Click the &#8220;Clean&#8221; button, a status window should open and the tool should run for several minutes</li>
<li>Wait untill the progress bar is done and click exit in the Nero General CleanTool window (that means when the erasing procedure is completed)</li>
<li>Reboot your computer. The Nero General CleanTool has removed all selected Nero entries from your computer.</li>
<li>And now im sorry to say, but you are going to have the entire install over again&#8230; make sure to check your steps!</li>
</ol>
<h2>Known errors</h2>
<p><b>Error:</b> &#8220;can&#8217;t load advrcntr4.dll&#8221;<br />
<b>Solution:</b> Nero needs that file (AdvrCtr4.dll Module) to operate<br />
If you deleted it (permanently), got some bad news for u, re-install Nero again.<br />
DON&#8217;T DELETE AdvrCntr4.dll deleting AdvrCntr4.dll renders Nero virtually useless.<br />
If you can find it in the Recycle, restore it. <i>I will upload the file asap so you dont have to reinstall</i></p>
<h2>Final Words</h2>
<p>I hope it all worked out for you the first time, otherwise i hope it worked the second. Please dont post comments asking stuff before having tried this atleast twice, because it is just to likely to accidentaly skip a step. If you do have special errors dont be afraid to post and we will certainly try helping you!</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Game Stats</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Released:</strong> March 2010.</li>
<li><strong>Developers:</strong> Avalanche Studios &amp; Eidos Interactive.</li>
<li><strong>Publisher:</strong> Square Enix.</li>
<li><strong>Genre:</strong> Action, Third Person Shooter.</li>
<li><strong>Platforms:</strong> Windows(Vista, 7), Xbox 360, PlayStation 3.</li>
<li><strong>Multiplayer:</strong> No.</li>
<li><strong>Modding:</strong> Some but not officially supported.</li>
<li><strong>Average Rating:</strong> 8.5 of 10.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Story</span></strong></p>
<p>You play the game as the main character who is called &#8216;Scorpion&#8217;, his real name being Rico Rodriguez. Your initial goal is to find a rogue agent on the island that has apparently been assisting the island&#8217;s evil dictator Pandak Panay.</p>
<p>You soon find out however that the rogue agent (Tom Sheldon) is actually on your side and something more sinister is going on.</p>
<p>This is as far as I have got with the story as of yet, and to be honest it is not a very interesting story. If you&#8217;re looking for a game with a deep story you certainly won&#8217;t find it in Just Cause 2.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Gameplay</span></strong></p>
<p>The game takes place on the fictional island on Panau which is extremely large, even with the fastest plane it takes a good 5-10 minutes to go from one side to the other.</p>
<p>The island also has a wide variety of lush environments, such as urban cities, deserts, jungles, forests, towns, lakes, rivers, mountains, snow and ice.</p>
<p>Just Cause 2 has some of the best graphics I have ever seen in a game yet at the same time maintains surprisingly low system requirements.</p>
<p>The character has a very handy grappling hook which can be used to hook onto pretty much everything, you also have a reusable parachute which can be combined with the hook and used as a means of transportation, this opens a wide variety of combat strategies to you, for example you can parachute into a enemy base or use your hook to climb over the walls.</p>
<p>There is a decent variety of weapons in the game, ranging from a pistol to a rocket launcher, you also have grenades and remote bombs which brings me to a small issue, grenades are woefully underpowered you have to throw the grenade quite close to your target in order to kill them.</p>
<p>You progress through the game by completing faction missions and the storyline missions which gain you &#8216;Chaos&#8217;.</p>
<p>Chaos points are awarded whenever you destroy something, new missions, weapons and vehicles are unlocked as you accumulate chaos.</p>
<p>There are also a number of collectable items scattered around Panau, weapon and vehicle parts which are used to upgrade weapons and vehicles. Armor parts that increase your health for every five you collect and money stashes.</p>
<p>There are also collectable objects for each faction with give you a little chaos boost.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Overall</span></strong></p>
<p>Ignoring the poor storyline Just Cause 2 is an excellent game, perfect for them times when you have nothing else to play.</p>
<p>The environments are extremely beautiful and quite detailed so you can pretty much ignore all the missions and have fun flying around and exploring the island.</p>
<p>The missions once you get down to doing them a pretty decent, certainly nothing amazing but worth doing. Another thing I should point out that annoys some people is the terrible voice acting in the game.</p>
<p>I would certainly recommend you get Just Cause 2, there is a great demo on steam which gives a pretty good preview of the game.</p>
<p>Overall I would rate this game 8 out of 10.</p>

On the fringes  of  known  space,  something  is  silently  abducting  entire  human colonies.  Now  Shepard  must  work  with  Cerberus,  a ruthless organization devoted  to  human  survival  at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced.</p>
<p>To  even  attempt  this  perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the  galaxys most  elite  team  and  command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they  say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong.</p>
