Malicious attackers can take over your device—whether it's a laptop computer, a desktop PC, a smartphone or tablet—and use it to find out more about you, spy on you, or plant evidence. This animation explains a few of the ways computers get taken over (or “pwned," “0wned,” etc.), and how you can protect yourself. 1. An email attachment that contains malware: You can get tricked into running a program by clicking on an email attachment that appears innocent, but is actually infected with malware. Malware can turn on your computer’s microphones and broadcast your conversations, record your screen, watch what you type on your keyboard, copy files, or even insert false records. Be very careful opening strange email attachments and double check with the person who sent it before you open it if you’re unsure. 2. A malicious weblink: It’s possible to infect a computer with malware remotely just by visiting a webpage (sometimes called a “drive-by download”). If a link prompt...

In todays fast growing world, security of his/her datat is the first priority of every user. So today we are going to give a brief introduction on End-to-End Encryption. End-to-End Encryption is a way of encrypting and decrypting data using the concept of cryptography.       So as the name says End-to-End Encryption refers to encrypting and decrypting of data on both the ends. Suppose a data is going to travel on the internet from a mobile phone, so first it will gen:erate two key , first is Pubic key and second is Private key.     The private key always remains in the phone, but the public key remains at the server.When a data is requested from the server the public key gets activated for that particular mobile phone from which it is generated.  The Public key encrypts the data that come from the server in that way that only private key of that particular phone can only decrypts it. Getting little bit confused ...!! Lets take an example to clari...

Some days before at Google I/O 2018 we have seen a new way of assisting life, which is going to book an appointment instead of you yourself do it, Yes that's True, Google is developing an efficient Artificial Intelligence for communicating with the shop owner or any other person who is going to take an appointment in a way normal person use to take. What is Google Duplex ? It's a new tool from Google that aims to use Artificial intelligence (AI) to "accomplish real-world tasks over the phone" according to Google's AI researchers and developers. For now, that means very specific tasks like making appointments, but the tech is being developed with an eye on expansion into other areas. Spending billions to create a cool way to make dinner reservations sounds like something Google would do but isn't a great use of time or money.Duplex is also more than we saw in a demo and if it ever leaves the lab will be a lot more than we see or hear on our end. The...

Every device connected to the internet is assigned an IP address when you connect. When you connect with your phone or computer or chosen device, your ISP assigns you an IP Address so you can browse, shop, and navigate the internet. Who created Internet Protocol (IP) addresses? Vint Cerf the “father of the internet” was one of the creators of IP addresses. He created it while working for the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Code.org and Mr. Cerf explain the  creation of IP address . There are a few organizations involved in IP addresses. ICAAN  - The Internet Corporation for Names & Numbers - They’re the top level and they govern over IP - the internet protocol, and run the policies behind it. From there it flows down to IANA - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.  IANA  is a department of ICAAN that co-ordinates and maintains the number systems that keep the internet running like IP addresses & DNS.

Do you ever have that moment where you step back and think about how something you use every day actually works? More specifically have you ever wondered how the heck computers actually communicate wirelessly? Well, that's exactly the question we're going to be tackling in today's podcast. > What Is WiFi? First, let's cover some of the basics. WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity and is the same thing as saying WLAN which stands for "Wireless Local Area Network." WiFi works off of the same principal as other wireless devices - it uses radio frequencies to send signals between devices. The radio frequencies are completely different say from walky talkies, car radios, cell phones, and weather radios. For example your car stereo receives frequencies in Kilohertz and Megahertz range (AM and FM stations), and WiFi transmits and receives data in the Gigahertz range. To break it down even further, Hertz (Hz) is simply a unit of frequency. Let's sa...

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standardizes data protection law across all 28 EU countries and imposes strict new rules on controlling and processing personally identifiable information (PII). It also extends the protection of personal data and data protection rights by giving control back to EU residents. GDPR replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive, and goes into force on May 25, 2018. It also supersedes the 1998 UK Data Protection Act. There are many essential items in the regulation, including increased fines, breach notifications, opt-in consent and responsibility for data transfer outside the EU. As a result, the impact to businesses is huge and will permanently change the way customer data is collected, stored, and used. GDPR applies to all organizations holding and processing EU resident’s personal data, regardless of geographic location. Many organisations outside the EU are unaware that the EU GDPR regulation applies to them as well. If an orga...

To normal people, programmers may look mysterious. Kind of like an alien species who is addicted to being hunched over a computer screen. Gathered from books and most importantly, movies, society has gotten some wrongful conventions over what programming is and what a “true programmer” should look like. With the world being as stereotypical as it is, people get a general image of what a group of people should look like. Most, if not all the stereotypes, are incorrect: 1. Programming is difficult Wrong! Nothing is difficult when you are determined to know it. And as cliché as this may sound, it is the truth. People normally think programming is difficult owing to the rumors they hear. Truth is, once you start from the basics, it gets easier. At first sight, the numerous terms, languages, and whatnots may seem strange and threaten to give you a headache. Don’t hurry through it. Work according to your pace, start from beginner level and progress slowly. Programming languages are...
