Reverse Lookup of IP to DN with DIG

Posted on January 12, 2012 by zeeshanali| Leave a comment

very easy use 

dig -x

Reverse lookups — mapping addresses to names — are simplified by the -x option.  addr is an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal notation, or a colon-delimited IPv6 address. When this option is used, there is no need to provide the name, class and type arguments.  dig automatically performs a lookup for a name like 11.12.13.10.in-addr.arpa and sets the query type and class to PTR and IN respectively. By default, IPv6 addresses are looked up using nibble format under the IP6.ARPA domain. To use the older RFC1886 method using the IP6.INT domain specify the -i option. Bit string labels (RFC2874) are now experimental and are not attempted.

Cloud Computing from inside-out :: Course outline draft

Posted on December 21, 2011 by zeeshanali| Leave a comment

Assalmo Alaikum (Peace be on you ) .

Cloud computing is transitioning from industry buzzword to business-critical solution; recent technology forecasts name the migration to cloud as the biggest trend of 2011, with Gartner anticipating that the spending on cloud computing applications will reach $150 billion by 2013.

To date, the perceived business opportunity associated with cloud has driven start-up and established technology and services providers to make bets and stake out territory throughout the emerging cloud landscape based on conjectures about how the space might evolve. As customers begin to make substantial investments in cloud, it becomes critical for researchers, system administrators to know cloud computing in-depth

We are presenting below the draft course outline for Cloud Computing course , Feel free to comment if something is missing and should be included .

Where :  I am planning to give the first course in KTH-Sweden and Later in Pakistan (depends which PK-University collaborate in it) Continue reading →

Is it possible ?

Posted on December 20, 2011 by zeeshanali| Leave a comment

Yes, it is possible to be a technial geek and  CEO at same time. I started my first venture in 1997 during second semester of computer diploma . Later on during BA and MCS , i grew it into an IT company.

This entreprenuer virus came with me in Sweden and during MS studies I was CEO of Swedish registered IT services company. It was 2006 when i started to study Entreprenuership from Stockholm School of Entreprenuership (www.sses.se) . The reason is that i faced challenges in running an international company like How to negotiate? How to make product more viable for users? and furthermore How to progress products from Ideation, Planning to Execution and Growth.

After MS Information security , i studied MS ICT Entrepreneurship from KTH which gave me an edge to combine Technical, Creative and Business sides of brain.

Until than (2006), Alamdullilah I am running a Swedish IT Firm in parallel of doing PHD and working as Cloud System Administrator @ KTH.

Below are my ventures in descending chronological order:

  1. Defence8 (high end security, privacy product firm) 2011 (ideation phase)
  2. VigilTek Sweden 2006 (active)
  3. EnsuRisk Pakistan 2006 (active)
  4. CrystalClick 2002
  5. SMS Enterprises 1997
