A group of Indian Hackers has designed Artificial Intelligence Assistant Operating System called 'J.A.R.V.I.S' , who recognizes them, answer questions, tweet for them and Collect information, scan targets for them. Chiragh Dewan, a 18 year old student who is currently pursuing his BCA has taken the initiative to be the first Indian to complete this project J.A.R.V.I.S , which is inspired by Iron Man’s (movie) artificial intelligence assistant Jarvis. With his team of 7 including Himanshu Vaishnav, Mayur Singh, Krishanu Kashyap, Vikas Kumar, Vinmay Nair and Sravan Kumar, they are about to finish the 3rd level of the project. Their long term goal is to create an OS which could adapt itself according to the user's needs. Like if a doctor is using the OS, it will adapt itself so as it is capable of helping him out in his field like searching for new techniques, medicines, help in their research, etc. Add for architects, other professions.

Qubes OS. A Security Oriented Operating System.

Image
What is Qubes OS ? Qubes OS is a security-oriented operating system (OS). The OS is the software that runs all the other programs on a computer. Some examples of popular OSes are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Android, and iOS. Qubes is free and open-source software (FOSS). This means that everyone is free to use, copy, and change the software in any way. It also means that the source code is openly available so others can contribute to and audit it. Why Security of an Operating System is Important.?  Most people use an operating system like Windows or OS X on their desktop and laptop computers. These OSes are popular because they tend to be easy to use and usually come pre-installed on the computers people buy. However, they present problems when it comes to security. For example, you might open an innocent-looking email attachment or website, not realizing that you’re actually allowing malware (malicious software) to run on your computer. Depending on what kind of mal...

Encrypt Files Using TrueCrypt

Image
Introduction If you save anything on your computer, it is likely that you do not want just anyone to be able to see what you have saved. You want a way to protect that information so that you can access it, and absolutely no one else except those you trust. Therefore, it makes sense to set up a system which protects your information and safeguards it against prying eyes. The best such system for this is called “True Crypt”. “True Crypt” is an encryption software program which allows you to store many files and directories inside of a single file on your harddrive. Further, this file is encrypted and no one can actually see what you have saved there unless they know your password. This sounds extremely high tech, but it is actually very easy to set up. Setting up Truecrypt Quote 1. Go to http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads (or go to www.truecrypt.org, and click on “Downloads”) 2. Under “Latest Stable Version”, under “Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000?, click “Download”...

Proxy Server. How does it works.?

Image
A proxy server is a function that is used to obtain Web pages by other computers. It acts as a go-between from a computer to a target server. There is no communication between the computer and the server. Rather, the computer requests a Web page or a file housed on the target server. This request goes to the proxy server Go, which, in turn, sends the request to the server. The proxy server then obtains the file and sends it to the requesting computer.       An example would be if you use your computer to request a Web page on the internet. The server requests the data and other files for you from the target server. When you type in a Web address, the request is sent to a proxy server. The server then sends the request to the target server that houses that particular website. Then the target server sends the Web page to the proxy server, which in turn, sends it to you. The target server sees the proxy server as the visitor, not you. These servers improve ...
