Kali KEYEXPIRED 1425567400 KEYEXPIRED 1425567400 KEYEXPIRED 1425567400

While updating Kali Linux, I got a rather strange message:
KEYEXPIRED 1425567400 KEYEXPIRED 1425567400 KEYEXPIRED 1425567400

Somehow that indicate that the keys used for GPG is likely to be expired. 

I dig a bit and found that the way to update the keys is as follows:
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7D8D0BF6

Now your Kali should be updating normally again!
BTW, Kali v1.1.0a is out. Maybe its a good time to reinstall the latest version!

Download Windows 7 ISO from Microsoft

There are times you loses your Windows 7 machine and you will need to find some way to resinstall it, but then you realized you have no Windows 7 CD!

Well, that has been a problem and it is finally solved now when you can legally download the Windows 7 ISO from Microsoft and not from other other unverified sources where you might be installing spyware to your system.

Simply go to this website and key in your CDKEY and you are all ready to download it!

Trillian and MSN

As MSN chat is closing down slowly, the original server "gateway.messenger.hotmail.com" is no longer available and as such messagers like Trillian will fail to connect to the MSN chat network.

A simple solution is luckily available for now, simply change your MSN server address to :
bn1msgr1011204.gateway.edge.messenger.live.com

And it will work. For now. 

Solution is also highlighted on the official Trillian forum:
