Linux Group Tests
The original objective in starting the compilation was to dispel the FUD that Linux does not have the necessary software to compete with Windows. Over time, the aim of the compilation was to enable Linux users, whatever their level of computing experience, to identify software of all types that is worth exploring. With the huge range of open source software available, there is simply not enough time for users to evaluate every application even within a single category of software.
The compilation is being frequently updated and new articles added on a regular basis.

Passive OS Fingerprinting
Active measures, like those employed by Nmap, are unfortunately not available when doing passive analysis of live traffic or when analyzing previously captured network traffic. Passive analysis requires much more subtle variations in the network traffic to be observed, in order to identify a computer’s OS. A simple but effective passive method is to inspect the initial Time To Live (TTL) in the IP header and the TCP window size (the size of the receive window) of the first packet in a TCP session, i.e. the SYN or SYN+ACK packet.

Syncing an Android Tablet to a PC
Android tablets don’t have an automatic method or desktop management software to sync your files from the device to a personal computer. However, there is a way to do it manually, a process which requires mounting the device so the computer recognizes its file system, then moving pictures, videos and other data to the computer’s local hard drive.
