The importance of Cyber Security








Nowadays we all are connected to social network and many other platforms online but have you ever thought that is it safe ? What if my id is hacked or there is some attack. Are you aware of all these issues, no. That is why it is really easy to hack someone's account because they themselves are not aware of the security. People click on many links without knowing what it is for, we blindly share all our personal information on net without knowing how to secure our self.


There are so many attacks happening every now and then and still we do not care of our security. We put so easy password that someone can easily guess it. We often tend to ignore email or message saying that someone tried to login in your account. We tell some stranger about our personal life without knowing who that person is or what his/ her intentions are.


We do not care about it and then after that when your account gets hacked, then you become so sad and upset. Why are you upset ? You yourself invited the hackers to hack your account. There are many ways to be secure on net, like -


1. Never tell your personal details to any random person on the internet.

2. Never put small or easy password that hackers can guess like your name or phone number or something like that.

3. Put strong passwords including numbers, special characters, etc.

4. Unable two- step authentication in facebook, google and instagram. With this, you will get a message on your phone number when someone will try to log into your account. You have to give  the passcode that they send you and then you will be able to log in.

5. Do not click on some random links that someone send.

6. Try not to visit insecure sites.

7. Do not click on some random pop ups that come up like your phone has a virus, click here to check, or something like that, when you download some songs or something like that from internet

8. Do not give all the apps all the permissions. Why do any photo editor app need permission to access your contacts.

9. Do not tell your OTP to anyone.

10. Do not get fooled by the hackers who fake call and ask for OTP.

11. Do not connect your device to public network or free wifi.


Follow these steps and be secured on internet. Cyber crimes are increasing day by day because people are unaware to secure themselves. Be safe on net and enjoy learning.

What is OCR and how to convert OCR to pdf or text file on windows


What is OCR?

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a technology that enables you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data. 
Imagine you’ve got a paper document - for example, magazine article, brochure, or PDF contract your partner sent to you by email. Obviously, a scanner is not enough to make this information available for editing, say in Microsoft Word. All a scanner can do is create an image or a snapshot of the document that is nothing more than a collection of black and white or colour dots, known as a raster image. In order to extract and repurpose data from scanned documents, camera images or image-only PDFs, you need an OCR software that would single out letters on the image, put them into words and then - words into sentences, thus enabling you to access and edit the content of the original document.


How do convert OCR to PDF ?

Wondershare PDFelement is a comprehensive tool which comes with leading edge OCR that makes it possible to edit scanned PDFs and perform PDF text recognition. Its OCR recognizes multiple languages used globally. This tool allows you to convert your scanned PDF files to other document formats with OCR.

  • Edits texts, change pictures, change font size, modify color, add pages, add links and much more.

      OCR Using Microsoft OneNote 2007

      For the occasional basic OCR stuff, MS OneNote’s optical character recognition feature is a timesaver. You might have missed it” - it’s called Copy Text from Picture.


      ocr software 


    • Drag a scan or a saved picture into OneNote. You can also use OneNote to clip part of the screen or an image into OneNote.
    • Right click on the inserted picture and select Copy Text from Picture. The copied optically recognized text goes into the clipboard and you can now paste it into any program like Word or Notepad.
  • OCR Using Microsoft Office Document Imaging

    Another little used tool within the Microsoft family. It’s right there under Menu – Microsoft Office – Microsoft Office Tools – Microsoft Office Document Imaging.
    ocr software
    Doing OCR using the document imaging tool is a bit limiting because it accepts only TIFF (or MDI) formats. But that’s not too much of a bother as any graphic application can be used to convert an image to TIFF. In the screenshot below-
    ocr software 


  • Open the file in Microsoft Office Document Imaging – File – Open.
  • Click the little eye icon – Recognize Text Using OCR.
  • Click on MS Word Icon – Send Text to Word.
  • A MS Word File opens with the editable converted text.
  • Alternatively, you can also use MS Paint to select a specific area and copy it to the clipboard. Open MS Office Document Imaging – select PagePaste Page to copy the selection for OCR. 

 

You can covert any image to editable text file format. 

 Hope you like it.

How to Customize Folders With Different Colors In Windows





Are you bored of seeing the same colour of your folders ? Don't worry, here is a way to change the colour and to customize the folders in your way. 

 

Unlike Mac OS X, Windows doesn’t allow you to change the color of folders. There are many software available today over the internet which can Customize your Computer in an efficient manner that it looks so attractive as well as it becomes very easy to use.

We always want our computer to be clean and well organized so that whenever we need to access something or need to search a particular file/folder in our computer we could find it easily.

With the free Folderico utility installed, you can right-click on a folder and choose which color you want it to be. Then, instead of searching through a list of folder names, you’ll instantly see the one you want. And it will also make them look good and attractive.

 

How to Customize Folders With Different Colors?

1. First of all Download and install the software Folderico. It is tested and 100% virus free.

Click here to Download Folderico. Once the download completed, unzip the file. Run it and follow the instructions to install it. Finally, click Finish.

How to Lock and unlock your computer with a USB Pendrive?

 

You can Lock down your PC using Pendrive and then unlock it using the same Pendrive.


Want to use your pendrive for locking and unlocking of your computer? This is the way you can do so.

Follow the steps and that will surely help you.  

 

Predator (For windows)

Step 1: Download and install a software: Predator.

This software locks your PC when you are away, even if your Windows session is still active.
It uses a regular USB flash drive as an access control device.

 

Step 2: Once Predator launches plug in the Pendrive.

When you’re away from your PC, you simply remove the USB drive:
– once it is removed, the keyboard and mouse are disabled and the screen darkens
when you return back to your PC, you put the USB flash drive in place:
– keyboard and mouse are immediately released, and the display is restored.

 

Step 3:  When you insert the USB Pendrive, Predator will ask you whether you want to create a password. Click OK to continue.

 

Step 4: In the Preferences window, enter a secure password in the “New password” field. That is if you lose your USB pen drive, you can use this password to unlock your computer.

This software also allows you to use a password in addition to USB lock/unlock. If you want this facility, check the Always Required box and you’ll be asked to enter the password each time you use your thumb drive to unlock your PC.

Finally, in the section under Flash Drives, ensure that the correct USB flash drive is selected. When you’re done, click “Create key” and then OK.

 

Step 5: Predator will exit. Click the Predator icon in the taskbar to restart the program. A few seconds later, the icon will turn green, alerting you that Predator is running. Once done, Predator will check every 30 seconds to see that your USB Pendrive is plugged in. If it isn’t, your computer will dim and lock down.

 You can pause Predator at any time select “Pause monitoring” from the taskbar menu. You can also check if someone accessed your PC/laptop while the Predator was switched on using USB drive from the Predator activity log.

 

The only issue with using predator on your computer is that it locks down one

usb port exclusively for lock/unlock purpose

 

 

 USB lock (for Mac)

USB Lock is a Mac app that’s similar to Predator for Windows: it turns your USB drives into keys that grant access to the computer as long as the USB key is plugged in. Unplugging the drive instantly locks the computer. Creating a USB key with USB Lock will not affect your drive’s files in any way.

It’s a unique solution in the midst of other screen lockers that rely on text-input passwords and grid-swipe patterns. The only downside is that there isn’t a free version available, but for a price tag as low as $3 USD, it’s certainly worth the cost.

Features include:

  • Optional password requirement on top of the USB key requirement.

  • Does not sleep or close applications when entering locked mode.

  • Idle timer that locks the system during inactivity. (Coming soon)

 

When all is said and done, USB Lock is basically Predator Lite. It serves the same core purpose – requiring the USB key to be plugged in order for the computer to be usable – but it doesn’t have the extra bells and whistles that make Predator awesome (namely, the scheduler and per-user customization).

However, seeing as how Predator is only for Windows, USB Lock is the closest alternative for Mac users. Only use it if you can spare an entire USB port. If you can’t, you may be better off using Rohos instead.

To set up your first key with USB Lock:

  • Install USB lock.

  • Run USB Lock.

  • Insert your USB drive when prompted.

  • Optionally enter a password if desired.

  • Done!

Hope that it would help you in
securing your computer.

Google Will Pay You $200,000 For Finding a Bug in Android OS




 Google to pay $200,000 for finding bug in android so if you are a hacker or a security researcher, that is probably going to be a good news for you. Google Will now Pay you Up to $200,000 if you Find any Bug in it’s Android OS. A few days ago, a malware called "Judy" hit over 36.5 million Android-based phones and caused a lot of damage. So, Google has decided to increase the bounty for finding a bug in Android OS to as much as $2,00,000.

According to cyber security firm Check Point, dozens of malicious apps were downloaded between 4.5 million to 18.5 million times from the Play Store. It was noted that the malicious code was present hidden in some apps since April 2016, undetected by Google. Google has now removed the infected apps from the PlayStore. “Judy” is one such case of how an open and free mobile operating system (OS) can be exploited by malicious app developers.

According to cyber security firm Check Point, dozens of malicious apps were downloaded between 4.5 million to 18.5 million times from the Play Store. Some of the malware-affected apps have been discovered residing on the online store for several years. “Judy” is one such case of how an open and free mobile operating system (OS) can be exploited by malicious app developers.

Most security flaws we hear about now affect old builds of the OS or require clever social engineering to get the user to weaken device security, technology website extremetech.com reported on Friday. The versions of Android being released now are more secure than what Google was putting out years ago and as a result no one has managed to claim Google’s largest bug bounties for Android.

Hoping to attract more researchers and engineers to the bug bounty programme, the company has increased the rewards to up to $2,00,000.Google started the bug bounty programme for Android about two years ago in which the security researchers, who demonstrate an exploit, get a cash prize — the amount of which varies based on the severity of the hack.

Tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google have paid out millions of dollars in bug bounty programs over the past few years. Google started the bug bounty program for Android about two years ago in which the security researchers, who demonstrate an exploit, get a cash prize — the amount of which varies based on the severity of the hack. Since then the reward value has been increased from $50,000 to up to $200,000.

 The increased reward applies to two bounties: one for vulnerabilities in TrustZone or Verified Boots, and the other for a remote Linux kernel exploit. Among them, TrustZone or Verified Boot is a matter of serious concern than the Linux exploit, as reported by Extreme Tech. TruztZone is chipset related technology, which ensures biometric data, DRM and boot settings are kept in a trusted secure environment. On the other Verified Boot is software related, to ensure the OS has not tampered with each time a device starts up. Google has increased the bounty for both TrustZone and Verified Boot from $50,000 to $200,000.

It is speculated that Google will further increase the reward price if it again fails to get to a working exploit for Android’s core components.

How to speed up your Android phone

 

 

 

We all use many apps in our phones and many times it starts working very slowly. Here are some tips to boost up the speed of your android smartphone. 


Switching off Animations for the phone

Phones generally have a lot of animations to improve the user experience. These look very good when the phone is brand new but, over time, these make the phone appear a lot slower. These animations load up slowly when there are a lot of other apps loaded up in the RAM, because of which they somewhat mellow out the whole experience. One of the fastest way to get the phone back to speed would be to either switch these animations off or to slow them down. To do this, the Developer Option on the phone needs to be enabled. This is done by going to Settings>About Phone and tapping the Build Number multiple times to get the mode. Once Developer mode is enabled go to Settings>Developer Options and then scroll down. Options like Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation scale and Animator duration scale will now be visible. All these are set to 1x by default, to improve the performance, so reduce all three to 0.5x or simple switch them off.

 

Update Your OS

Updating your android to the latest version not only means access to the newest features but also to the most up-to-date security patches. Depending on your device, carrier, and current operating system, the process will be a bit different, but most of the time it should be relatively easy. 

 

Use the Built-in File Manager

If you've upgraded to android Marshmallow, you can access a built in file manager . Previously, you had to download a third-party app in order to manage your device's files. Now you can dig into your files by going into the storage and USB section of your device's settings. There you can see how much space you have left, view all of the apps installed on your device, and copy files to the cloud.

 

Uninstall Apps /Disabling Apps and Bloatware

We love to download apps on our smartphones and why not, most of them are free on the Google Play Store! The most common reason for phones to slow down, however, is Apps. What most of us do is download lots of apps and we may only use a few of them. These apps are not only occupying precious space on the phone, some apps also wake the processor up or utilise RAM even when not being actively used. Even manufacturers install apps in the phone that are just idle. Samsung mobiles typically had a lot of such bloatware apps on their phone but has recently reduced it. Motorola, on the other hand, is among the few manufacturers who have near zero bloatware on their phones. If you have bloatware on the phone, consider uninstalling or disabling it by going to Settings>Applications.

 

Make Space

Your smartphone or tablet may become sluggish if it's packed with too much stuff. In addition, the more crowded your device, the harder it is to find important information or images when you need them. Luckily, it's relatively easy to clear space an Android device, even if it doesn't have a memory card slot. It can be done by removing unused apps, transfer data from your phone to PC, delete useless data and files etc. .

 

Clear App Cache

As we use the apps installed on our phones they generate cache, which is stored on the phone. The stored cache is used as reference, when it is run later. If an app is misbehaving, or slowing your phone down, the easiest way to fix it is to wipe the app cache. This makes the app generate cache again from scratch and would fix errors and slowdowns; as an added benefit it also frees up space on the phone. You can also do it for the entire operating system by wiping phone cache. This process isn’t easy and should be done only when the device is intolerable. Wiping cache on different phones has different procedures and you will have to look up the exact procedure for your phone.

 

Use an Android Launcher

 The Android interface is generally easy to use, but it can sometimes get mucked up by the manufacturer. If you have an HTC, LG, or Samsung device, it likely runs a slightly modified version of Android. There are two ways to deal with this. First, you can switch to a device that runs stock Android, such as Google Nexus smartphone or the Motorola X pure edition. Alternatively, you can download an android launcher which lets you customize your home screens and manage apps. Launchers give you more options; you can personalize color schemes, more easily organize apps, and even resize the elements on your screen. 

 

Set up Default Apps

This is an easy fix. Frustrated that the wrong app or web browser opens up when you click on a link or try to view a photo? Just go into settings and view which apps are selected as the default for certain actions. You can clear them all and start fresh or do it one-by-one.

 

Format Your Smartphone

When all else fails this is a sure shot method to get your phone back to its glory. Formatting a smartphone wipes everything, it's like starting all over on a blank canvas. For most phones you can go to Settings>Backup & Reset and find the option to Factory Data Reset the phone. Before you rush to do it, keep in mind that you'll lose everything on the phone unless you back it up. If you have saved all your contacts onto your Google Account then it'll be available after the reset. You will also need to backup your photos and messages. Once the phone is reset, give it some time to settle before setting it up.

Surface web, deep web and dark web




 

 Not everything can be accessed by you on the internet. A large part of net is hidden. Let's know about it.

 

SURFACE WEB- It is the part of the internet that everyone can access through their browser and can search it on the search engine. It comprises of only about 3-4% of internet. The major part of net can not be accessed by you. It is hidden. 

When using the Surface Web, you access data directly from the source.

This direct approach tracks the information downloaded, from where and when it was accessed, and your exact location.

Files are shared through any number of computers connected to the internet that hold the information you need. This is known as peer-to-peer networking.

 

 

The hidden part of the net comprises of Deep web(can be legal or illegal but mostly it is legal) and Dark net(illegal). Let's see what is it. 

 

DEEP WEB-  Deep web is that part of the net that is hidden. It basically contains legal information of any company that cannot be seen by public but only by them. It also contains information of army or and country or recipe of any company etc. It is also known as the ‘Invisible Web’, it is the content that cannot be indexed by search engines. And it is hard to keep track of.
Information on the Deep Web cannot be accessed directly. This is because data is not held on any single page, but rather in databases, which makes it difficult for search engines to index.

 In order to access the Deep Web, you need to use a dedicated browser. TOR (The Onion Router) is the most commonly used.

This method of sharing encrypted data makes it difficult for your location, and the kind of information you access, to be tracked or monitored.

 

 

IS IT LEGAL TO SURF DEEP WEB ? 

Yes. You use it as you would any other internet browser. Many people are now beginning to use TOR as a way to maintain their privacy whilst online.

  • Who else uses it:

    • Military
    • Police and crime units
    • Journalists
    • Whistleblowers
      • Edward Snowden

Rooting your android device



Do you know by rooting your android phone, you could gain full access to your android phone?

Lets see what is rooting.


Rooting- Rooting is basically getting full access to your android device. You could get most out of it.  Rooting is a process that allows you to attain root access to the Android operating system code (the equivalent term for Apple devices id jailbreaking). It gives you privileges to modify the software code on the device or install other software that the manufacturer wouldn’t normally allow you to. And for good mobile security reasons: they don’t want users to make modifications to the phones that could result in accidents beyond repair; it is easier for them to offer support if they allow users to only use the same unmodified version of the software. But tech savvy users have already developed rooting methods, which vary depending on device.

But if you haven't properly rooted your android phone, then it may harm your device. You should have proper antivirus protection for your android then only start this process.  

There are many benefits of rooting your android device, like-

1. Installing Custom ROMs

After rooting your device, you can flash a custom ROM or Kernel, which means you can have a new device.

2. Remove Preinstalled Crapware

Manufacturer won’t allow you to uninstall those preinstalled apps on your device. Rooting a device can make them removed easily, which ensures a high running quality.

3. Blocking Ads in Any Apps

Sick of the pop-up ads when playing games? A rooted device can remove this annoying ads immediately.

4. Install Incompatible Apps

Some wonderful apps need the root access if you install them on your device. Root your phone, enjoy more apps.

5. Keep Latest Android OS

A rooted Android can get the new OS months before the carrier releases the update, often along with a few bonus features.

6. Change Skin for your Android

As you can see, there are only 3 to 4 default skin on your device to change. But if you root your phone and install the new ROMs, you can enjoy the customized and tweaked skins on your device.

7. Boost your Android Device’s Speed and Battery Life

Some powerful apps like Greenify can close the useless applications automatically, which can effectively improve your device’s performance. Of course, Greenify needs root access.

8. Make Complete Backups of Your Android Phone or Tablet

A unrooted Android phone can only backup some settings and apps of your device. Titanium can be used on rooted device to give you a complete backup.

In one word, rooting can make you be the master of your Android phone. You can automate everything on your Android device.

But with this, there are certain disadvantages also,like-

1. Root can Brick Your Device

Compared with unrooted Android device, the rooted one faces a common threat from mis-operation and sometimes you may turn your Android device into a brick.

Avoid this risk: Just download apps from reliable place like Google play, and, do not delete the files if the files are suggested not to delete by rooting apps.

2. Say Good-Bye to the Warranty

The Android device manufacturers will not cover the damage after you rooting your device. For some brand, we can unroot the device after rooting, so, the manufactures don’t know if you have rooted your Android device or not. But to make matters worse, Android device manufactures also go to great lengths to know if your device has been rooted!

3. Problems with Updates

Sometimes you root Android phone to get latest OS but after rooting, you may find that the automatic updates to the firmware stopped. Updates fail to install due to software modifications that occurred while the distribution has been rooted.

Comparing with these pros and cons of rooting your Android device, then choose if you need to root your Android device or not. But i would suggest, if you really want to make most of your phone then do root your phone properly and then enjoy.
