Perhaps you have heard about "Net Neutrality," and the recent controversies over it in India. But first let’s understand  What does Net Neutrality mean? Net Neutrality is simply the Internet Freedom — Free, Fast and Open Internet for all. Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should give consumers access to all and every contents and application on an equal basis, treating all Internet traffic equally. Today, if there’s something that makes everyone across the world "Equal" is nothing but the Internet. Equality over the Internet means, the richest man in the world has the same rights to access the Internet as the poorer. And this is what "Net Neutrality" aims at. But, What if someone snatches this Internet Freedom from you all? What if you have to pay extra for every single app you want? What if you have to pay extra for loading website of your choice faster? This is exactly what...

Kali Linux on any Android Phone or Tablet Getting Kali Linux to run on ARM hardware has been a major goal for us since day one. So far, we’ve built  native  images for the Samsung Chromebook, Odroid U2, Raspberry Pi, RK3306, Galaxy Note 10.1, CuBox, Efika MX, and BeagleBone Black to name a few. This however does not mean you cannot install Kali Linux in a chroot on almost any modern device that runs Android. In fact, the developers of  Linux Deploy  have made it extremely easy to get any number of Linux distributions installed in a chroot environment using a simple GUI builder. PREREQUISITES A device running Android 2.1 and above, rooted. At least 5 GB free space on internal or external storage. A fast, wireless internet connection. Patience to wait for a distribution to bootstrap from the network. CONFIGURING LINUX DEPLOY FOR KALI There’s actually very little to be done to get Kali installed. By choosing  Kali Linux  in the “ Distribu...

Microsoft just issued a critical patch to fix a 15-year-old vulnerability that could be exploited by hackers to remotely hijack users’ PCs running all supported versions of  Windows operating system . The critical vulnerability — named " JASBUG " by the researcher who  reported  the flaw — is due to a flaw in the fundamental design of Windows that took Microsoft more than 12 months to release a fix. However, the flaw is still unpatched in Windows Server 2003, leaving the version wide open to the hackers for the remaining five months. HACKERS CAN EASILY HIJACK YOUR WINDOWS MACHINE The vulnerability ( CVE-2015-0008 ) could allow an attacker to easily hijack a domain-configured Windows system if it is connected to a malicious network – wirelessly or wired, giving attacker consent to do various tasks including, to go forth and install programs; delete, alter or peruse users' data; or to create new accounts with full user rights. However, Jasbug vulnerability...

Last year, the founder of the Social Network giant highlighted the future of universal Internet access, the dream that Facebook founder  Mark Zuckerberg  wants to fulfill —  Making Internet access available to everyone  across the world just like a service as essential as of 911 in the case of an emergency. Dreams are transforming into Reality!!   Facebook’s  Internet.org app  has launched in India  to offer free Internet access to a set of websites for users in seven different circles, including Mumbai, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Internet.org , with motto  ' Internet for All ' , named after a project developed by the world’s biggest social network site Facebook to expand Internet access to  "the next 5 billion people"  around the world who currently don't have it. Facebook has tied up with India's Reliance Communications in an effort to provide free Internet servic...

Orkut grew out of Google’s 20 percent initiative , which allowed employees to use a fifth of their working week on side projects. Of course, the social network has since been sup planted by Google+, a more ambitious service that ties into many of Google’s other products. The decision to close Orkut is therefore hardly surprising – the fact it took so long is probably more of a shock. Starting today, it will be impossible for newcomers to create a new Orkut account. Existing users can access the service as normal, however; Google says the three-month period should “give the community time to manage the transition.” Orkut enthusiasts can also export their profile data , community posts and photos using Google Takeout. Orkut has been around for a decade and to mark its legacy, Google will preserve all of the site’s public communities in an archive. It’s a nice gesture, although users can choose to opt-out by decoupling Orkut from their Google account. “It’s been a great 10 years, and w...

Whether you're going to  miss the Charms bar  or not, users likely have a list of things they love (or loath) about Windows 8. We've already had a  few hints  at what  to expect  in the next version -- the classic start menu for example. Now, we have some videos (below) purportedly showing the Windows 10 in action (or, a fairly complete build of it, at least). Some of the more interesting features shown include a revised, (unified) Notification Center, a demonstration of how Multi-Desktop will work, and of course, that beloved start menu. Naturally, all usual caveats apply (things could change, and probably will), but, as Windows 9 creeps further out of the shadows, we're getting a clearer picture of what sort of user experience we can expect.

On Tuesday, approximately 5 million Google accounts and their passwords were leaked on the Russian Bitcoin Security forum  btcsec.com . A forum user named tvskit created a  topic  that included the leaked accounts and said that approximately 60% of the accounts were still valid. At this time, Google has not verified whether the leak is valid and there have been reports that this information is just a compilation of older leaks that go back a few years. A password redacted version of the leaked file was then  posted  in the /netsec/ subreddit, which can be used to determine if your account was in the leak. Numerous people in /netsec/ have confirmed that their accounts and the corresponding passwords were listed in the leak. It is strongly suggested that you change your Google account password to be safe. If you use the same email and password at other sites, you should change it there as well. Here is the list of Email id which are HACKED

A huge attack on US systems was discovered by security outfits, which has supposedly stolen 1.2 billion user name and password combinations plus over 500 million email addresses. The intrusion was discovered by a company called Hold Security and was alleged to include confidential content collected from 420,000 websites, including household names and small sites. The security outfit has a record of uncovering huge hacks – for instance, it was the one to discover the 2013 theft of tens of millions of records from Adobe Systems. This means that Hold Security could have been seen as a reliable source. The company claimed that the hacking attack was discovered after over 7 months of research and was being carried out by some unnamed Russian cyber gang. Apparently, the latter now owns the largest cache of stolen information. Now, what many of the comments about the breach online center on is the fact that the security outfit is offering a $120 per month breach notification service allo...
