  • DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available!
    Guest:
    That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.
    /Steve.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

As a new year's resolution, I finally got my own domain for sites that ask for an email. Had been using duck2go, but want something I know won't stop working.

Also found a nice utility for firefox, but it is a little out of date. Does anyone know of a more current extension that might be compatible with most browsers (safari, chrome, firefox)

He did a nice one by allowing for either + addresses or a hash for a domain

What kind of utility? What does it do?

Mail Hash â Get this Extension for ð¦ Firefox (en-US)

Download Mail Hash for Firefox. Add a random hash to a plus addressable email address or to a custom domain
addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org

In case the link is removed (thought I had added it before) the name is mail hash

It allows you to create an email address based on a domain. I'm using subdomains userid.email_only_domain.com, so I can let others use this system. Only need a unique userid for each user.

Can also use + addresses, so you have mailbox+something@email_only_domain.com. You could use a regular email like viewer+something@gmail.com, but I'm trying to create untraceable emails, so they can't link my different uses (unless for the email_only_domain.com).

You could use something like aｏl.com lol as long as you can register that domain, or someone lets you create a subdomain

seems that with the changes going on (sn 965), this idea has more validity. Since it is a private domain, it won't be targeted like duck duck go will or some of the other mail forwarders or temporary accounts
