Build your own camera DIY

Here is how it’s possible to build your own DIY home alarm and surveillance system from a Raspberry Pi – PrivateEyePi is an open source, configurable, automated home alarm system which you can build and code yourself. Its creator documented the whole system extensively and provides parts lists and pricing; wiring schematics; and all the code you’ll need. You can use motion detectors, or switches attached to doors, or a mixture of the two. There are instructions on adding cameras to the setup, and you can even add a temperature gauge to check on whether your central heating’s working when you’re away. You’ll be able to monitor everything via your computer or smart phone.

You can install PrivateEyePi from here 

DIY home alarm and surveillance system

 

It is also possible to add home surveillance to the project by using a third party application called “motion” to operate the webcam. Motion is great because:

·it is free
·easy to setup
·requires a small amount of CPU processing power (good for a Raspberry Pi)
·has video streaming built in
·will create pictures and video files when motion is detected
·will trigger the PrivateEyePi alarm system when motion is detected
·is highly configurable

You can download motion from here

Required skills
The creator of the project (Gadget Nut) recommends:Basic low voltage electronic skills. We will provide you with a full inventory of electronic parts and diagrams. We will show you bread board wiring schematics for you to copy.

Basic Raspberry Pi and Linux experience. Even complete beginners with no programming, operating system or electronics experience can make this work. You can also use our blog to ask questions or email our support email.

So what exactly is cryptography

Nowadays Internet is an important part of Life.  We are using the Internet for sending confidential data also like password,for storing army secrets. But the Internet is insecure medium.we all use internet at a daily basis.  Do you know why? Insecure Medium: Imagine you are sending a data.  In internet world, data are separated as packets and send to the destination.  Do you think the data directly reaching the destination?   If  you think so,you are wrong.  The packets are going through different routers.  Finally, the data is sent to the user.  In this gap, Intruders(i mean attackers) takes advantages. so who are they .the are  I.they  can see what you are sending.  Because your data are simple and easy to readable by anyone. How to secure the data? We can not stop the intruders and their activities.  But we can make our data as Unreadable for Intruders.  For this purpose, the Cryptography is introduce...

Lunix malware havoc

The Krebs DDoS attacks have proven that the IoT landscape is a fertile ground that can breed huge botnets capable of launching massive DDoS assaults. As such, it should be no surprise that malware authors are now focusing their efforts on this sector and putting out new threats in the hopes of building the next Mirai botnet. One of the latest additions to the IoT malware market is a trojan codenamed Linux/NyaDrop, recently reverse engineered by MalwareMustDie, the same researcher who discovered the Mirai malware. MalwareMustDie points out in his research that this binary appeared in May, but was somewhat simplistic and not that common. Things changed after the Krebs DDoS attacks, and a new sample has appeared on the market, with the malware’s author most likely drawn back to the IoT landscape by Mirai’s success. Just like most IoT malware nowadays, NyaDrop’s author relies on brute-forcing Internet-exposed IoT devices using their default credentials. In a conversati...

Remove virus from android

Desktops aren’t the only gadgets that can be affected by a virus. Android devices have a malware problem and it’s growing every day. If you do get a virus, you could perform a factory reset to get rid of it, but that means you’d lose all your data — those photos you shot, the saved games, the text messages, and everything else. Obviously, you want a factory reset to be your last option. So what can you do to remove a virus from Android without a factory reset? Is It Really a Virus? If your phone isn’t functioning the way it should be, there’s a chance you have some malware on it. One wrong tap somewhere and a malicious file might have been downloaded on your phone, which is leeching battery life, Internet resources, or your personal data. But it could be something else. Suppose your Android refuses to boot or crashes every time it starts up. Or maybe you can’t seem to download apps from the Play Store. These are not necessarily caused...
