If you’re browsing behind Microsoft Proxy Server, you’ll be familiar with NTLM authentication prompt your username and password. It’s pretty annoying as you need to type it everytime you open the browser.
Even some Internet application doesn’t support NTLM authentication, for example like Download Accelerator. Some browser like older versions of Firefox asking you the password everytime it load a page.
Fortunately, there is some application that can solve the problem. It’s called NTLM Authorization Proxy Server (NTLMAPS), a proxy software written in Python that allows you to authenticate via Microsoft Proxy Server using NTLM protocol. In order to use the software in Windows, you must install python first or you can use Windows version of it (a standalone executable that does not require python to be installed compiled using py2exe).
Main Features of NTLM Authorization Proxy Server
- supports NTLM authentication via parent proxy server (Error 407 Proxy Authentication Required)
- supports NTLM authentication at web servers (Error 401 Access Denied/Unauthorized)
- supports translation of NTLM scheme to standard “Basic” authentication scheme
- supports the HTTPS ‘CONNECT’ method for transparent tunneling through parent proxy server
- has ability to change arbitrary values in client’s request headers
- supports unlimited number of client connections
- supports connections from external hosts
- supports HTTP 1.1 persistent connections
- stores user’s credentials in config file or requests password from a console during the start time
- supports intelligent failure detection and failover between multiple upstream proxies

SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data – a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https instead of http.
SHTTP
Another protocol for transmitting data securely over the World Wide Web is Secure HTTP (S-HTTP). Whereas SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely, S-HTTP is designed to transmit individual messages securely. SSL and S-HTTP, therefore, can be seen as complementary rather than competing technologies. Both protocols have been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a standard.

An Internet Connection can be used by several computers using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service built-into Windows XP. ICS service allow two or more networked computers to share a single Internet connection, one computer act as host and another act as client.
It’s easy to set up, just follow the steps you should be able to get it right the first time.
Requirement
- At least two computers (as host and as a client)
- A networking device (could be ethernet card or WiFi) on each computer
- If you’re sharing a broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, or other ethernet based connection), the host computer must have two network device (for example, you can connect the host to internet via ethernet cable and share it to other using WiFi)
- The network must be cabled correctly (except using WiFi)
- One computer (acting as host) must have a working internet connection
There is no minimum connection speed, but you should keep in mind that when two users are downloading using the shared connection simultaneously (the worst-case scenario), each user will experience half of the original performance. In other words, you probably don’t want to bother sharing a 14.4k analog modem connection.

In this tutorial, we’ll teach you how to use Wi-Fi enabled computers/laptops to communicate with each other directly without an Access Point. This method is also known as Ad-hoc mode wireless networking. Operating in ad-hoc mode allows all wireless devices within range of each other to discover and communicate in peer-to-peer without involving central access points.
To follow the tutorial, you just need a Wi-Fi card in each computer. If you are using a laptop, usually it’s already have Wi-Fi device built in.
