Boosting Airtel GPRS speed

27 Feb

Boosting Airtel GPRS speed

If you are using  airtel gprs (using bluetooth and non EDGE phone) for Rs.375 unlimited usage (all premium content downloads are chargeable). You get 4.2 KB/s from 02:00 AM to 08:00 PM. You get only 2.85 KB/s in remaining time because all local mobile to mobile calls from 10 PM to 8 AM are Rs.0.39. I have read in an article that in mobile transmitter, they will give more priority for voice pulses than data pulses and the mobile tower splits voice and data packets seperately (in GPRS mode). That is why speed is slow. Follow this way to get faster speed :

01) Click and open ‘My Network Places’ icon.

02) In the window that has opened, left click ‘View network connections’ under network tasks menu.

03) Right click the dialup icon (that you created for GPRS dialup) and click on properties.

04) Click ‘Configure’ button under ‘General’ tab.

05) In ‘Maximum speed (bps)’ option, choose 9600 and click ok and click apply first and then ok to close all windows and try.

Although the speed setting is slow, yo will get 100% utilization of network (can be seen by pressing Control + alt + delete and then going to ‘Networking’ tab). Or else only 1% of network will be utilized !!!.

But one more thing. Upload speed is worst in Airtel GPRS. Download speed is blazing fast. Maximum speed of GPRS standard is only 40.2 Kbps. I don’t know what it is exactly KB/s , KBPS, KBps , Kbps or so. If you use it on EDGE phone, you may get 115.2 Kbps or more depending upon the version of EDGE (such as EDGE class 1 multislot, class 2, etc) that the phone is based on.

NOTE : DON’T FALSELY CURSE ‘BLUETOOTH’ TECHNOLOGY OK?. SPEED OF BLUETOOTH IS ONLY MORE THAN ITS OLDER VERSIONS LIKE IrDA. Infrared, cable, etc. IF YOU USE DUPLICATE BLUETOOTH DEVICES, YOU WILL GET ONLY WORST SPEEDS.

DNS SPOOFING- Tricking a DNS server into installing a false IP address

DNS SPOOFING- Tricking a DNS server into installing a false IP address

DNS SPOOFING- Tricking a DNS server into installing a false IP address is called DNS spoofing. For example, suppose Trudy is able to crack the DNS system, may be just the DNS cache at Alice’s ISP, and replace Bob’s IP address with her (Trudy’s) IP address. When Alice looks up Bob’s IP address, she gets Trudy’s, so all her traffic intended for Bob goes to Trudy. Trudy can now mount a man-in-the-middle attack without having to go to the trouble of tapping any phone lines. Instead she has to break into a DNS server and change one record, a much easier proposition.

How might Trudy fool DNS? It turns out to be relatively easy. Trudy can trick the DNS server at Alice’s ISP into sending out a query to look up Bob’s address .Unfortunately since DNS uses UDP; the DNS server has no real way of checking who supplied the answer. Trudy can exploit this property by forging the expected reply and thus injecting a false IP address into the DNS server’s cache.

Trudy starts the attack by sending a lookup request to Alice’s ISP asking for the IP address of Bob’s. Since there is one entry for this DNS name, the cache server queries the top level server for the com domain to get one. However Trudy beats the com server to the punch and sends back a false reply. If her false reply gets back to Alice’s ISP first, that one will be cached and the real reply will be rejected as an unsolicited reply to a query no longer outstanding. A cache that holds an intentionally false IP address like this is called a poisoned cache.
