We all know the hassle, you wish to download some neat utility but the download link require you to hand over your email address (download link send via email). Now as a person that has previously released quite a few utilities I can understand why this is, its nice to see who is using your software and neat to have a database you can mail to in case of updates etc, however as not everyone respects your privacy I don’t like to provide my email to just anyone..
So is there a solution you ask, and yes indeed 🙂 its right here;
http://slopsbox.com/
So how does it work, well fairly simple actually, here is a step by step guide;
1. open http://slopsbox.com/
2. click “List (and add) domains
3. Now scroll through the domain names and find one you like.
4. now to create your temporary mail address all you need is your imagination, add whatever you like in front of the domainname you chose before (eg. mr.cool@aliraheem.com) – you can choose what ever you like simply add @domainname to the handle/name you choose.
5. Now goto the site where you want to download, enter “your new email address”.
6. Goto http://slopsbox.com once again, enter the email (the one you invented yourself) and the code displayed, and sure enough there is your email download link 🙂
Ok, the world is not perfect, so do allow 10-20 min for the mail to arrive, if no mail arrive in 20 min try again with a different domainname.
Remember the mail address you ‘invent’ is accessible by everyone, hence make sure not to provide personal details when you subscribe to what ever it is you use the mail address for, once you get your login (to the download site etc) be sure to log on and change the password – anyone who guess ‘your email’ can read your mail so anything provided in the mail must be considered compromised.
But the good news is that you dont have to worry about getting spammed 🙂
Happy emailing..

<IP-ADDRESS> would be the IP of a webserver, adsl line or whatever, the neat thing is that you will now get a listing of all the domains hosted on this IP.. Nice..
Usually I use google for searching, and they may have a similar feature but I have not had time to dig into that.
What can I use that for you say? Well, say you want to find more information about the owner of a web-site, well there are all the usual steps like whois etc. but by using the above you can detirmine what other websites are hosted on that IP, this can maybe give you further info on the owner or the hosting provider.
If you work as a Sysadmin you may have run across the issue where there is no more free Terminal Server “slots” available on a server (As you may know it is possible to connect 3 remote TS sessions against a server, 2 regular and 1 admin/console), this is quite annoying and is often due to one of your colleges forgetting to log out after ending their work on the server (or maybe they had something running that prevented them in disconnecting before the task was done)..
Anyhow, now YOU need to connect via MSTSC and are met with a message stating that TS connections are depleted. You HAVE to get in, so what do you do? You can try the Mstsc /Admin (XP sp3/Vista SP1) or Mstsc /Console (all previous versions) and have it kick whomever is on the console connection (or physically logged on to the server in the server room) – however you may want to be nice and actually have a look and see who is on the server via TS and decide whom to kick.
To do so, goto a command prompt and type; qwinsta /server:<SERVERNAME>/1
this will produce a list of everyone connected to the server via TS, now you can decide on which connection you want to ‘kill’ and type; rwinsta /server:<SERVERNAME> <SESSION ID>

Security, WebNifty search tip – domain/ip search
WebOk just heard about this lately, its actually rather cool.
goto live.com , in the search field enter;
IP:<IP ADDRESS>
