 | | | | Google| Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
As a first step to fulfilling that mission, Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. Google is now widely recognized as the world's largest search engine -- an easy-to-use free service that usually returns relevant results in a fraction of a second. |

| | | | Google Maps| Explore Google Maps - Now online maps are draggable
Getting from point A to point B just got a lot easier. Google Maps shows you where you want to go — and tells you what you'll find when you get there.
Maps are great for getting around, but online maps could be a lot better. So Google decided to make dynamic, interactive maps that are draggable — no clicking and waiting for graphics to reload each time you want to view the adjacent parts of a map. Want to be able to type in the name of a region or neighborhood and see any part of it as easily as with a regular street map? Now you can with Google Maps.
Since these maps are draggable, you can use your mouse or the directional arrows to pan left, right, up and down to see areas that are hidden offscreen. You can also use the slider to zoom in and zoom out.
It's like having a huge map you can scroll around in. |

| | | | Yahoo.com| Our mission is to be the most essential global Internet service for consumers and businesses. How we pursue that mission is influenced by a set of core values - the standards that guide interactions with fellow Yahoos, the principles that direct how we service our customers, the ideals that drive what we do and how we do it. Many of our values were put into practice by two guys in a trailer some time ago; others reflect ambitions as our company grows. All of them are what we strive to achieve every day. |

| | | | E-Sword| e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software. I make my living writing software and I believe I have put forth my best effort in this endeavor. The real work, however, was put in by the godly men and women who devoted countless years creating the texts that have been made available for our benefit.
In His service,
Rick Meyers

| | | | InSecure.org| Top 75 Security Tools
In May of 2003, I conducted a survey of Nmap users from the nmap-hackers mailing list to determine their favorite security tools. Each respondent could list up to 8. This was a followup to the highly successful June 2000 Top 50 list. An astounding 1854 people responded in '03, and their recommendations were so impressive that I have expanded the list to 75 tools! Anyone in the security field would be well advised to go over the list and investigate tools they are unfamiliar with. I discovered several powerful new tools this way. I also plan to point newbies to this page whenever they write me saying 'I do not know where to start'.
Respondents were allowed to list open source or commercial tools on any platform. Commercial tools are noted as such in the list below. Many of the descriptions were taken from the application home page or the Debian or Freshmeat package descriptions. I removed marketing fluff like 'revolutionary' and 'next generation'. No votes for the Nmap Security Scanner were counted because the survey was taken on an Nmap mailing list. This audience also means that the list is slightly biased toward 'attack' tools rather than defensive ones.

| | | | AnnualCreditReport.com| The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has set up a new website (www.AnnualCreditReport.com) where US residents can obtain free copies of their credit reports from the three major credit report bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian). The FTC site was set up as part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act enacted last December. The site was set up in an effort to help fight the increasing threat of identity theft. The credit reports must be ordered from the FTC site to get them for free. If you order your credit report directly from one of the credit report agencies' sites, you'll be charged a fee for the report.

| | | | Clever Proxy| This website allows you to type in any website address and we will serve it to you through our servers. This allows you to remain far more anonymous than you normally would be surfing the internet. There are literally hundreds of similar proxy websites across the internet, however, the majority of these proxies are often very slow. Most proxies run on slow servers amongst many other sites. At peak times, these other proxies generally slow down to a crawl or don't work out all. Also, most proxy sites disappear regularly.
This proxy service is different. We host it on high grade equipment in cluster configuration. Even at peak times we are running at full speed. We have been running www.cleverproxy.com continuously for a long time and have no plans on closing down any time soon. We recommend you add this site to your bookmarks and have fun. |

| | | | DSLReports.com| The DSLreports.com (also known as broadbandreports.com) domain name was registered in June 1999, after I discovered the web was a terrible place to get information on broadband availability. At first I built the site and ran it off my home DSL line. Eventually the demands of keeping the site going required a proper dedicated set of servers, and a small office. Our internet connection in the office is a DSL line, although our servers are now located at an ISP (nac.net, thanks to them for our discount bandwidth) and SPEAKEASY.net (a couple of clan servers).
How do you survive?
We have very low overheads, and are independent of investors and other distractions. Our mission is to provide a great source of information on broadband, and a place where people can get advice without press release hype or sales pressure. |
