Anonymous Surfing - Surf Anonymously and Protect Yourself

Johny On

Have you ever wondered how some companies are able to lay hold on your email address in order to send spam mails to you? Or have you ever wondered how some sites like Google are able to open pages according to the country or region you stay? How do you think hackers are able to have access to the information you share online? These questions will remain unanswered until you understand what an internet protocol address is.

An IP address is a set of numbers, which are in decimal forms, assigned to each computer in a network. It is a very important component in internet communication because it determines the destination of every information sent through this network. It is usually assigned to each computer by the ISP. Therefore, one can say that the IP address helps you connect to other people elsewhere on the internet.

The most prevalent problem of using the internet is hacking. When hackers get to know your unique address, there is no limit to the information they can gather on you. In fact, they can get to know your location, phone numbers and even all your account details. With this, any hacker can successfully use your identity to access your private accounts online.

Even sites you visit have a way of copying your address in order to monitor your activities when next you visit the site. Through this data, they can get personal information on you such as your email address which can then be sold to marketing companies. This explains the spam mails you get regularly.
Sites like Google also use your IP address to know your location so they can give you results related to your region.

Thankfully, with the improvements in technology, you can be a step ahead of any hacker by anonymously surfing the web. The only way to do this is by keeping your personal identity protected. In order to make any malicious internet worker confounded, you need to hide your real unique data by masking it with another one so that anyone who tries to trace this address will end up hitting bags of sand.
By installing IP-hiding software on your computer, you can easily surf the web anonymously. The software will hide your IP by assigning to your computer a different address of your choice. This will make you go to any website and even shop online without worries of hacking or spam mails.

Firesay Voice Recognition Controls Firefox

Johny On

Where voice recognition has grown fairly common in the mobile industry, especially with apps such as Google Voice and Blackberry Voice Recognition, the same still requires sophisticated software and hardware solutions to be just as effective in computers. But Fairsay, an innovative add-on for Firefox changes all this, introducing voice application control to web browsers for the first time ever.

It offers voice support for opening and closing websites, carrying out web searches and broadcasting online TV programs. Though the voice support is very limited for now, it carries potential to completely redefine web browsing in future. Just imagine how fascinating it would be to sit back and surf the internet all with the control of your voice?

As with any other voice recognition software, the developers of this extension too, emphasize on the importance of quality microphones for a great voice control experience. The developer has also revealed that the future versions will focus on extracting the voice commands from background clutter, an issue that Google has addressed to a certain degree for its handheld product, Android.

Again, the functionality of this beta version is quite limited. For now, you can navigate to 45 different websites and watch 15 TV programs (on Hulu) that reside in the default pre-programmed list. It is also capable of carrying out a Web search through commands, such as Search Google Bermuda Triangle which launches a Google search for keywords Bermuda Triangle.

Despite all odds, we find it to be an amazing development that will totally revolutionize how we surf the Internet. When it comes to voice recognition, accuracy is of utmost importance. In the developer’s own words, “Improving recognition accuracy is key area for investment for us moving forward.”
It supports Firefox versions 3 – 3.6, and Windows 7 only.

Wake the Computer to Run a Microsoft Security Essentials Scan

Johny On

In a recent review of Microsoft Security Essentials it was discovered that an option to wake the computer to perform a scheduled scan did not exist. There is a way to force the computer to wake up and complete a scan but it involves editing the scheduled task within Windows 7. This tutorial will take you through the steps required to get this done.

The Microsoft Security Essentials Scheduler

Microsoft Security Essentials provides a nice interface for editing a scan schedule. You will find it by selecting 'Change my scan schedule' at the bottom of the Home tab.

Microsoft Security Essentials

From this interface you can set which day and time a scan should be performed. The default for Microsoft Security Essentials is 2 AM. This seems like a fine time to perform a scan since the computer is likely not being used. It's also likely that your power settings have placed the computer into a mode of sleep or hibernation. If the latter is true, the scheduled scan will not run.

In order to force your computer to wake and perform the scan the steps below should be followed.

Editing the Scheduled Task

Open the Task Scheduler. Within the Task Scheduler expand the Task Scheduler Library and then expand Microsoft. Below the Microsoft folder you should see another folder called Microsoft Antimalware. Select it.

Task Scheduler

In the right pane you should see the task for your scheduled scan: 'MP Scheduled Scan'. Next you need to access the task properties. To accomplish this, you may right click on the task and choose Properties or select the Properties link from the Actions menu.

Task Scheduler

Within the task properties select the Conditions tab. Enable the option to 'Wake the computer to run this task' by selecting the checkbox.

Task Scheduler

The setting will now be applied. Unfortunately, any time you change the scheduled scan setting via the Microsoft Security Essentials interface, you will need to update the task again if you continue to desire the 'Wake to Run' functionality.

Use Facebook Places to Connect With People in Real World

Johny On

Facebook has launched a new feature called Facebook Places. It lets you broadcast your current physical location to your friends and, at the same time, lets you see where your friends are located. Thus, you can easily find if some of your friends are near you, and contact them easily.

For example, if you are in a Cinema hall, you can see if any of your friends’ is also there. And they can also find you via Facebook Places. Thus this feature is really useful to connect with people in real life. Check out the video below to get an overview of Facebook Places,

Visit the Facebook Places FAQ to learn all about it. Some of the things you can do are location status updates, tagging your friends at places, and post comments.
Note – At the time of writing, Facebook Places is available only to US users who have W3 geolocation support. If you are in US and you have a supported phone, then go to touch.facebook.com or Facebook for iPhone.

Seven maintenance tips to optimize Mac performance

Johny On

Mac systems are pretty trouble free, and OS X is a pretty solid system. However, as with all things, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, and there are some things that you can do with OS X to keep it running in tip-top shape.

#1 Back it up

The first and most crucial thing to do is to keep a backup of your important files, or even the entire system. To clone the entire system (great for backups and quick restoration in the case of hardware failure), an external hard drive and SuperDuper! are the best solution as far as I am concerned. SuperDuper! makes a bootable clone of your hard drive; a great thing to do before performing large system updates, or something to schedule routinely. Other options include buying an Apple Time Machine and scheduling backups that way.

#2 Keep software up to date

Keeping software current is another important thing. Software updates not only provide new functionality and correct bugs, they often correct security flaws as well. Keeping your system up to date via the OS X Software Update is important, but so is keeping the third-party applications installed current. Many applications “phone home” to check for updates and will alert you if updates are available. Otherwise, you can point your RSS feed reader to MacUpdate’s web site to keep you alert of new software releases. You can also elect to pay MacUpdate’s yearly subscription fee and be alerted via email or use their desktop application (which is quite useful as well, as it will inform you of what installed applications are out of date).

#3 Perform a Permissions Repair

This can be done by launching Disk Utility, selecting the boot drive, and clicking Repair Disk Permissions. It is a good habit to repair permissions before and after large system upgrades (i.e., when upgrading from OS X 10.6.3 to 10.6.4). As well, in Disk Utility you can use the “Verify Disk” button to scan the integrity of the filesystem on the hard drive. If it identifies problems, you will need to boot from the install disc or a cloned drive (another reason SuperDuper! is useful) and use Disk Utility to repair them.

#4 Get the right tools

Tools exist to keep an eye on your system, and free ones are even better. To be informed of the impending decline of hard drives, use the free SMARTReporter menu bar tool. This tool checks the S.M.A.R.T. output of your hard drive(s) and reports if there are any failures or inconsistencies; however, keep in mind that this only works with internal SATA/eSATA/IDE drives, and not external drives.
Another great monitoring tool is iStat Menus. This is another menu bar app that displays useful information such as a CPU usage meter, memory usage, disk usage, disk activity, temperature sensors, and more. If it feels like the system is slowing down, clicking on the menu bar icons will show you what applications are taking the most CPU or consuming the most memory.

#5 Beware of memory leaks

With the stability of OS X, some people may leave their systems running constantly, or put them to sleep without restarting the system. If any running software has memory leaks, even small ones, leaving them open constantly will start to consume more and more system memory. Some applications that use a lot of memory, such as Safari and other browsers, may not fully release that used memory when tabs are closed, and it isn’t uncommon to see Safari using far more memory than a browser warrants.
I’ve seen Safari consume over 1GB of memory all on its own. Quitting and restarting these memory hogs will reduce memory consumption, at least for a time. Restarting the entire computer will reset OS X’s virtual memory system and clean things up; after restarting, the system should typically feel snappier.

#6 Watch your hard drive

Another common sense tips include keeping an eye on hard drive space. Generally speaking, you should always ensure you have about 10% of your drive available as free space; if you find yourself filling the drive quickly or often, consider replacing it with a larger drive, delete some unused applications or files, off-loading some archive data to an external drive, or simply emptying the trash every once in a while will help.

#7 Check Login Items

Finally, a lot of programs like to run little helpers in the background, or think that if you run them once, you want to run them all the time. Firing up System Preferences and looking in the Accounts pane, then selecting the Login Items tab for your account can be a real eye opener. These programs start when you log in, so if there are applications here that you do not want running, here is where you can remove them. Simply highlight the application you no longer want starting at login and click the “-” button to remove it.
These are all fairly straightforward tips, but continuing to keep them in mind will keep your system running at an optimal level of performance.

Apple.com Hit In Latest Mass Hack Attack

Johny On

A hack attack that can expose users to malware exploits has infected more than 1 million webpages, at least two of which belong to Apple.

The SQL injection attacks bombard the websites of legitimate companies with database commands that attempt to add hidden links that lead to malware exploits. While most of the sites that fell prey appear to belong to mom-and-pop operations, two of the infections hit pages Apple uses to promote iTunes podcasts. The malicious links appear to have been removed since Google last indexed the pages in early August.
In all, at least 538,000 pages have been compromised by the same attack. Attacks the bear similar fingerprints but point to different domains have claimed close to 500,000 more.

“These attacks have been ongoing and are changing pretty often,” said Mary Landesman, a senior researcher with ScanSafe, a Cisco-owned service that provides customers with real-time intelligence about malicious sites. “Interestingly, many of the sites compromised have been involved in repeated compromises over the past few months. It’s not clear whether these are the work of the same attackers or are competing attacks.”
SQL injection attacks succeed because web applications don’t properly filter search queries and other user-supplied input for malicious text. When the data is processed, commands are passed to a website’s backend server, causing it to add links or cough up sensitive information.

The attacks that hit Apple used highly encoded text strings to sneak past web-application filters. They are only the latest in a series of hack attacks to hit large numbers of websites.

The exploits used this time around weren’t as effective as they might have been. According to Landesman, many of the iframes buried into the websites contained HTML that couldn’t be rendered.

How to secure a ZIP archive?

Johny On

WinZip (www.winzip.com) offers the ability to protect a zip archive with a password. The result is an encrypted zip archive that can only be opened if the correct password is entered. An encrypted zip archive provides confidentiality, it cannot be viewed by persons who don't have the password.

It is possible to encrypt files when they are added to the archive, but it's also possible to encrypt the whole archive at once. That's done by clicking 'Actions' in the menu and then choose 'Encrypt'.

* The Zip 2.0 encryption format is known to be relatively weak, and cannot be expected to provide protection from individuals with access to specialized password recovery tools.

* AES is the Advanced Encryption Standard. This encryption method, also known as Rijndael, has been adopted by the U.S. Government's National Institute of Standards (NIST) as a Federal Information

Processing Standard. WinZip supports AES encryption in two different strengths: 128 bit AES and 256 bit AES. These numbers refer to the size of the encryption keys that are used to encrypt the data. 256 bit AES is stronger than 128 bit AES, but both provide significantly greater security than the standard Zip 2.0 method. An advantage of 128 bit AES is that it is slightly faster than 256 bit AES, that is, it takes less time to encrypt or decrypt a file. Both 128- and 256-bits encryption are considered strong encryption by the security community.

Now click 'OK' and it's done.

Availability of zip AES decryption software is not standard

Not every zip program is able to decrypt an AES encrypted zip archive. The receiver needs to have a recent version of Winzip (or a compatible zip program) installed to open the document. However, WinZip is not standard software at the office and there are many free alternatives to create and open zip archives.

Encrypted zip files are blocked by e-mail scanners

Anti-virus scanners at e-mail gateways cannot scan the content of an encrypted file. Virus builders have abused this fact and distributed malware via password protected zip archives. This is the reason why many companies block e-mails containing encrypted zip files. As a result, it is unlikely that one can use encrypted zip files in order to exchange sensitive information between companies.
