Hey there friends…

It’s been a long time since I posted anything on this blog … Well now. here it is then…

Washington Post dated 30th June, was seen quoting this news.  Bernard Madoff, from US has been sentenced to the maximum 150 years in prison.

US district judge, Denny Chin, sentenced Bernard Madoff following a massive Ponzi scheme run by Madoff since at least the early 1990’s. This scheme is said to have demolished life savings of thousands of people.

Hula Guys….I’m back with yet another topic on cryptography. This time, it’s cryptographic file systems. Securing data is more important than ever. As the Internet has become more pervasive, security attacks have grown. Widely-available studies report millions of dollars of lost revenues due to security breaches. As security becomes a greater focus in networks, every aspect of online information needs a level of protection from the network-level use of firewalls and IDS to the host-level use of IDS. But these days, an additional level of security has come on the forefront of information security field. Cryptographic File Systems.

Hello Everybody………As promised in my previous post, I’m back with yet another topic of how search engines work. Almost all of us are well aware of this term “Search Engine”. Very few would be unaware of this terminology. With the help of search engines (like Google, Yahoo, AltaVista… etc), I could search any topic I want over the Internet. Ever wondered how these search engines work ??

Hi All !

I was browsing the net and stumbled across this article on ZDNet. Researchers have come across an open source tool that is capable of launching automated man-in-middle attacks against popular sites such as Gmail and Facebook. This tool, Middler, is designed to target users who access services via public networks in hotels, coffee shops and aeroplanes. Besides launching man-in-the-middle attacks, in which communications are intercepted so the attacker can pass his own data between the website and the client device, the tool can also compromise computers and even iPhones via their software-update mechanisms.

The tool is intended to demonstrate a particular weakness found in many popular online applications — the use of clear-text HTTP transmissions for much of the user session.

Hey there !

I’m back with a new topic yet again. Today I’ll be discussing what is known as the “Dark Internet” of the “Invisible Web”… Many of you might wonder what is this all about. well then folks, read on………………….

Almost all of us are quite familiar with the term www or the World Wide Web. There are millions of web sites on the Internet that fulfill your search criteria. Say for example, if I want to see how many sites are related to information technology, then I would simply open any of the popular web search engines (Google, Yahoo, Altavista and there are a lot more !), and give my search string and the search engine gives me a long list of all websites related to information technology.

Four leading websites were or are vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack according to Princeton University researchers. While ING Direct, YouTube and Metafilter have taken action to address the cross-site-request-forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities, the fourth site, belonging to The New York Times, has not been fixed !

CSRF flaws can be exploited so a user’s browser is hijacked during a session and used to access a secure target site. As web authentication normally relies on cookies containing a pseudo-random session identifier, attributed to a browser at the beginning of a session, a hacker can perform actions normally restricted to the user if that browser is hijacked during the session

Hello Everybody !

Hope you all are doing good and are in the best of your health..

I guess many of you might be excited after reading the subject of this post. Yes ! Today I’m going to discuss the various anti-forensic methods used by Jihadis to conceal their presence over the Internet.

The Internet, as we all know is a very wast field of information sharing and communication. And there are various ways by which one can be in contact with other person across the globe and this happens almost instantly. This saves time, money and effort that would otherwise be very high ! These all are the advantages of Internet.

Hey There !

Welcome back to read my post. Today I was trying to read a mail that one of my friends had sent me yesterday. The email was encrypted with a very well known encryption. — PGP. Those who know this terminology, are well aware of what PGP is. However, let me explain in brief to those who are unaware of PGP. PGP or Pretty Good Privacy, is an encryption standard that is widely used for encrypting your emails. Such that only the sender and receiver knows the content inside the mail. Even if the mail is sniffed on its way from source to destination, its contents could not be read.

Thanks to the technology of asymmetric cryptography, where a message is encrypted with receiver’s public key, sent to the destination, and the receiver then decrypts it with his private key. This, and many more ways exists to encrypt the text messages across Internet.
