OSFMount lets you ‘mount’ local disk-image
files, making themaccessible, so you can read
andwrite data. Each mounted image is
assigneda drive letter so you can use it just
as you would any regular drive. The program
can handle all the major image file formats- including IMG, ISO andBIN –andthis new
version can mount a virtualdrive using
Physical Disk emulation, so the diskcan be
recognised by WindowsDisk Management.
OSFMount can also mount a virtualdrive
as read/write while preserving the dataof
the original image file. There’s anew step-by-
step wizard for easier mounting of virtual
drives, too.
If you want to avoidpeople spying on your
internet activity, or access sites which have
been geographically blocked, then running
a VPNis the obvious solution. This new
tool from ChrisPCgives you access to
more than 90freeVPNservers in the UK,
US, Germany, Canada, France,Russia,
Singapore andthe Netherlands. Just select
a country andpicka VPNserver fromthe
drop-down menu. The server-information
box tells you which company the VPN
server is powered by, andlists the benefits
and any restrictions to be aware of – such
as the automatic blocking of potentially
illegal activity.
Strong Passwords Need Entropy (SPNE for
short) checksthe strength and“survivability”
of a password, so you can see how long it
would take for a hacker to crack it. It also
shows you where in the list of the world’s
worst passwords aloginranks. The program
can generate secure passwordsin a number
of ways, including Random, Morse Code,
Emoticons, CryptoCode, Leetspeak andPiece
of Poetry. The latest version adds anew status
bar, updates the worst passwords list and
automatically removes duplicate passwords
andthose with low entropy (predictability).
It also improves SPNE’s code andinterface.
