How tor works

 Using the publicly available data, data visualization software firm Uncharted has prepared TorFlow — a map for visualizing how TOR’s data looks as it flows all across the world. It shows TOR network’s node and data movements based on the IP addresses of relays bouncing around the connections of users to avoid spying. TOR is the world’s most widely used tool for anonymity purposes . It has grown into a powerful network that’s spread all over the world. Surprisingly, the TOR project is transparent about the location of the TOR nodes and thousands of machines that power the network. This non-profit organization frequently published an updated list about the bandwidth and location of the computers and data centers spread all across the world. Using the same public data,  TorFlow  maps the TOR network’s nodes and data flow all around the world. This data movement is measured based on the IP addresses and bandwidth of the relay computers bouncing around the...

How to hack IO devices in less than 5 minutes

The world we live in, everything that surrounds us is now vulnerable to hackers. From your microwave to security cameras in your office, all of these can be hacked and used to do malicious things you can’t imagine. As of now, we have 6.4 billion IoT devices and that number will reach 20 billion by the year 2020. This is the reason why security researchers are urging us to take security of IoT devices seriously, and my friend, they are soo right. Of Course they are people who will say that it is already late as they consider the huge and massive DDoS attacks which have attacked KrebsOnSecurity, OVH, and just recently Dyn. All of these attacks used botnets of unsecured IoT devices. But hey, hijacking IoT devices for DDoSing is only one of many ways attackers are going to use the affected IoT devices. Are IoT Devices the Weak Spots of Enterprise networks ? IoT devices are not just the points of attacks, they are the entry points hackers u...

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.

Scientists have discovered a way to upload knowledge to your brain

Scientists have discovered that feeding knowledge directly into the brain could be as easy as going to sleep. This was made possible at HRL laboratories based in California where researchers claimed a 33 percent improved learning. It seems, soon the Matrix-movie like realities could be a possibility. Imitating the same efforts at HRL Laboratories, based in California, researchers are finding out a way to upload information to the brain. They are also successful on a much smaller scale than seen in the movies. Researchers working on this claim to have developed a simulator which can feed information directly into a person’s brain. Once the information is fed, that can be used to teach a person new skills in a shorter amount of time. We have already seen in the Matrix movie that the protagonist Neo is able to learn kung fu in seconds after the martial art is ‘uploaded’ straight to his brain. The study was first conducted on a trained pilot. Electric signals were fed ...

DDOS attack

DDoS attack is one of the favorite tools used by hackers to disrupt an online service. Here, we are going to tell you more about the attack using an easy-to-understand infographic. Most of us are aware of the fact that DDoS attack- Distributed Denial of Service- is one of the most common attacks faced- and the recent times have seen a tremendous growth in such attacks. Recently, the New York Magazine’s website was down due to an alleged DDoS attack for more than 12 hours. For those who are new to this term, in simple works, a DDoS attack is an attempt to make an online service/website unavailable by flooding it with tons of traffic from different sources. DDoS attack is one of the favorite tools used by hacktivists and other online groups to fulfill their motives by hiding behind a storm of HTTP request. The attacker makes a network of infected systems (botnets) by spreading malicious emails and software. After being infected, these systems could be controlled remotely and thus ...
