Top Privacy Tips for Online Players

Privacy Tips for Online Players

Let’s start with what privacy means first. Privacy is not just a concept of your financial information. Your personal and any kind of private info that can be used to identify you is also private. In other words, privacy does not mean only your credit card and bank account details, but as well as your address, phone number, and national ID too. Privacy is much more important than it is supposed since crimes such as identity theft are carried out using such information. If you do not protect your personal and financial data, you can suffer both financial and moral damages.

Privacy is required for all parts of the internet: You have to be careful while shopping and playing games at an online casino – no matter what you do, you need to protect your privacy. Limit the data you give to websites, i.e. third parties, and keep them under control at all times. Never give too much information. You have to give specific information to online casinos where deposits and withdrawals are made every day, but you can also limit them. In this article, we’ll tell you how to do this and give tips on privacy.

Know the Risks

There are two main risks to your personal and financial information. The first one comes from you. More precisely, from your communication with other people. Such risks are called “social privacy risks”. It means that you are providing personal and financial information to strangers you’ve met on the internet. You can completely reduce this risk because it depends entirely on you.

Nowadays, many games (including casino games) contain multiplayer features. So you can play together with real people, and you can chat in the meantime. Attackers try to access your personal and financial information through various social engineering methods. For example, the person who identifies himself as a beautiful and single woman sends you a link and wants you to click on it to see her picture. The link actually contains a virus or trojan.

Another way is to introduce yourself as the casino authority and ask for username, password, and other important information. It is often said that “there is a problem with the account and that the account will be closed if you do not give this information immediately”. In such actions, official-looking nicknames are used. (For example GM, Gm, GameMaster.) In any case, it is up to you to block such social engineering methods. If a young, beautiful, single woman seems too good to be true, it is probably not true. Likewise, no authority will ask for your username and password. With some care, you can block all such attacks.

The second major risk is not from social communication, but from computers. There may be various viruses, malicious codes, and malware on your computer or the computer you are logged into as a user. Such software is designed to steal your personal and financial information. Start by checking your own computer: You need to use an up-to-date anti-virus program, firewall and even preventive software called HIPS.

It’s also important to stay away from shady websites and not to use cracked games and software. You cannot control the computer you are logged into, but you can watch for an SSL certificate and which electronic payment infrastructure it is using. By paying attention only to these issues, it is possible to be more secure than at least %80 of other people on the internet. To summarize:

  • Do not give your personal and financial information in any way whatsoever to persons you do not know
  • Keep your computer safe with anti-virus and anti-malware software
  • Make sure that the websites you are using have SSL
  • Do not click on any links unless you know the source

How to Make Private Deposits

When signing up for an online casino, you need to provide real information. This is a legal obligation, and you are not allowed to withdraw any money you earn otherwise. You need to share some personal details, but you do not have to share your financial information too. Let’s say you play a video poker game and earn a lot of money. You do not have to use your credit card or bank account to withdraw this winning.

Encrypted electronic currencies allow you to deposit and withdraw money anonymously. The best-known example of these currencies is Bitcoin. However, there are also various versions such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and such. Since there is no centralized control unit in this technology, no one other than you know how much money you have in the system. Likewise, because you are represented by a series of letters and numbers and not by your personal details, no one can find you by following the transaction. If you want complete anonymity, you can make private deposits and withdrawals with next-generation payment methods such as Bitcoin.

What is BIOS in Your Computer and What does it do?

The word BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output. A BIOS is a lot more than the name suggests. It is one of the main components without which the operating system cannot function properly.

Ever since the days of DOS(Disk Operating System), BIOS is present ( even prior to the structured DOS created by Microsoft which we know very well). Even though you do not see the BIOS quite often, it is a very important for your computer to function.

What exactly is BIOS?

BIOS is a firmware, in short. It is stored on a chip on a part of the computer motherboard and is basically, a set of instructions that run to help load the operating system. You OS would fail to load, if not for the BIOS!

You can see the BIOS instructions everytime you turn on your computer. These instructions are there to check if there are any faults in Processor or RAM of your computer.

Some functions of BIOS are:

  1. It checks each and every compartment of RAM to make sure that everything is working fine.
  2. Once RAM and Processor are checked, it then checks all the other devices that are connected to your computer like the keyboard and mouse.
  3. After this, BIOS checks for the boot options.
  4. Various Boot options are organized in a sequential manner in the order of their priority. You can actually have a look at this by going into the BIOS while booting. The options look like: Boot from CD-ROM, Boot from  Hard Drive, etc.
  5. It then checks for the bootstraps on various devices in the defined order.
  6. Once all the above conditions are done, it passes the control to the operating system by loading the main parts of the OS into the part of RAM which is reserved for the OS.

This is not a complete list of functions of the BIOS. The BIOS also checks up the CMOS, and various other chips to set the date and time on the computer, and also to load the device drivers into the system memory.

Top Five Best 6 GB RAM Smartphones Right Now

5 Best 6 GB RAM Smartphones Right Now

There was a time when 1 GB ram or 2 GB ram on a smartphone was considered to be a huge deal, but now we have smartphones that feature 6 GB of RAM and modes which make heavy multitasking easy. Here is List of the best smartphones that offer a minimum of 6GB RAM.

Best 6 GB RAM Smartphones Right Now

Huawei Honor 8 Pro
Huawei is all set to launch the new Huawei Honor 8 Pro smartphone in India. The device runs on the Kirin 960 octa-core processor and features a dual rear camera setup. The phone competes with the One Plus 5 and boasts of 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of built-in storage.

What’s the Difference Between Viruses and Malware?

Difference Between Viruses and Malware

These days many of us talk about like malware and spyware a lot more than the virus. Have you ever wondered what exactly are all these?

Beginning with to understand what a virus is we will start with the original biological meaning of the word.

Biological viruses like the ones that can make you sick are parasitic. They inject their code in this case either DNA or RNA into a host cell as a means of replication this code causes the cell to make a ton of copies of the virus and ultimately burst to send new viruses everywhere. Computer Viruses operate via a similar principle unlike some forms of malware which are fully executable programs.

Viruses tend to be smaller pieces of code that confused with other programs or files and only replicate when conditions are right. So they can be triggered by a particular date and time opening a certain program or even hitting a certain amount of disk usage. After a virus is triggered, it will try to copy itself and spread infecting other files and programs along the way sometimes over a network and just like real viruses these virus copies can be a little different from the original making it hard for antivirus software to eliminate them. Some even come encrypted making detection even more complicated.

A computer virus can contain a payload that will cause some effect which could be anything from just displaying a joke to permanently corrupting your important data.

To make it simple now, Malware is any computer infection, which includes viruses and malicious software. Since other types of malware can cause these annoying effects, many people have used the terms virus and malware interchangeably, but this is incorrect. Much modern malware like ransomware and adware are also standalone programs that can be passed around and executed on their own.

Most Useful Programming Languages for Ethical Hacking

In our previous article, Charu has mentioned Why programming is the most important skill for a hacker. If you are a beginner, you must be confused about “which programming languages are useful for hacking”. There are many useful programming languages for hacking but it’s not possible to master all of them. So in this article, let’s talk about the most useful programming languages for Hacking.

First of all, I would like to tell you one thing that hacking involves a lot of ways.

Most Useful Programming Languages for Hacking

  1. Assembly Language

Purpose: Reverse Engineering

Let’s begin with low-level programming. Assembly Language is complicated to understand but it is very useful for hackers who want to perform reverse engineering on certain applications. Assembly language is used for instructing any hardware or software directly that is why it’s best for reverse Engineering.

2. Python

Purpose: Create Exploits

Python is the best high-level language for writing exploits. Python Socket Programming helps a lot in learning exploit creation. There are many more advantages, we have mentioned in our article: Why Python Programming Language is very useful for Hackers?

3. C or C++

Purpose: Create Exploits

C language is the base of all high-level programming languages. The whole UNIX operating system is developed using C programming. C++ brings all the modern object-oriented concepts C programming. You must understand any of these two languages to understand exploit writing. Here is the difference between these two. C vs C++:  Which Programming language is better?

4. PHP

Purpose: Web hacking and pentesting

PHP is one of the best dynamic web scripting languages. It is the server-side scripting language that can be used to write exploits for the web servers and the web applications. You also require the knowledge of HTML along with PHP.

5. Javascript

Purpose: Web hacking and pentesting

Javascript is the great language for client-side programming on websites and applications. Recently, it has become very popular and also dominating server sided programming with the node.js framework. Understanding JavaScript code logic can help you find the web-apps flaw.

6. SQL

Purpose: Database Hacking

SQL is used to communicate with the database server. Each and every data is stored in the database so you should know about database programming and vulnerability as it is the most sensitive part of Web.

Web Application Penetration Testing with BurpSuite – Part 1

A tutorial on how to get started and/or pace up web application penetration testing with BurpSuit

Since you are looking for serious stuff, I won’t beat around the bush. Let’s get into the content.

Information to Retain:

BurpSuite is an all in one tool for web application penetration testers created by Dafydd Stuttard under the alias Portswigger. Dafydd is also the co-author of the famous book The Web Application Hacker’s Handbook. BurpSuite contains following tools.

1. Proxy Server for request/response analysis
2. Password cracker and username enumerator
3. Input Field Brute Forcer
4. Web Spider
5. Decoder for common encodings(URL, BASE64 etc)
and much more.

How to get started:

The simple steps are:

1. Choose a Browser ( I prefer Mozilla Firefox)
2. Choose localhost(127.0.0.1) at 8080 as a proxy in your chosen browser.
3. Fire Up Burpsuite and configure the proxy in the Options window of a proxy main window.
4. you are all set!

Stuff to know about HTTP:

HTTP is an application layer protocol that runs over TCP. It works on request-response architecture i.e. the client sends a request and the server responds with a response.

A typical request/ response has two parts
1. Header Part
2. Content Part

Header part contains various name-value pairs and some headers that determine many parameters of communication.
The working of HTTP and types of headers in a request/response is a vast topic which I’ll cover in another article before getting into advanced stages of Web app pentest. For now, this information is enough.

First Thing to do:
Spidering is the first to be done as recommended by many pentesters. The reason being you will need to enumerate web services before you can come out with a proper plan to attack their components. A spider maps out the web application to give you a clear picture of the structure of the web app. It is a skill to be learned with practice.

I’ll cover more sophisticated stuff in the upcoming articles.

MAC vs PC, Which is Better? Comparison Between MACs and PCs

Battle Between MAC vs PC

Playing Games

Of all the possible criteria, remits, and requirements, gaming provides the most unambiguous winner. It’s a nailed down, copper-bottomed certainty that the PC is the better choice. There are far more games for the PC, and where the same game is available on both platforms, it runs better on PC. The end. Likewise, before anyone suggests using Boot Camp as a quick-change option for transforming a Mac into a gaming PC, that only works up to a point. That’s because of Mac’s limited configurability. Trying sticking a Nvidia Titan X into a trashcan Mac Pro. Yeah, right. By contrast, the PC has a wealth of options regarding components that enable you to max out your gaming performance at any given price point. The possible exception to this may arrive with the upcoming new Mac Pro.

Apple says the new model will major on configurability, so it’s just possible that we may finally have a desktop Mac with some reasonable upgrade chops. In that scenario, dual-booting a Mac into Windows via Boot Camp might make a decent part-time gaming rig. Until then, it’s PC all day long, and thrice on Sundays.

Winner: PC

Being Creative

Tricky one. Apple has long styled itself as existing at the intersection between liberal arts and technology. Although that rings faintly ludicrous when you consider its puritanical policing of software in its app store, there’s no doubting that generations of content creators have favored Macs. Exactly how much better or worse Macs are for creating content is quite a subjective subject. But many people certainly do prefer the software packages and GUI of Mac in a creative context. On the other hand, whenever performance is a critical part of the package, Macs fall behind. Apple’s Mac Pro workstation is staggering on with ancient hardware. In short, if you want to render in a hurry, choose a PC.

Macs also look rather old hat with the arrival of Microsoft’s Surface Studio, and its intriguing form factor and input solutions. It’s far more innovative as a content creation device than anything Apple has done for years—the touch bar on the latest MacBook Pros doesn’t come close. For that alone, the PC deserves a marginal victory. However, when the new Mac Pro arrives next year, it could be a very different story.

Winner: PC

Going Mobile

What is the best laptop in the world? Quite often, the answer to that question has been some MacBook. However, MacBooks needn’t be the absolute best in every category to remain relevant. The MacBook line is certainly more up to date technologically than Apple’s tiring Mac Pro product, for instance. And when it comes to perceived quality, the best MacBooks are peerless. As a physical object, the crazy-thin 12- inch MacBook is probably the single most gorgeous portable computer yet conceived. You tend to know what you are getting with Apple portable, too. You can usually assume that great build quality and good battery life are givens.

Usually! With PC laptops, it’s often a bit of a gamble, especially if you are ordering online and sight unseen. On the other hand, Apple boxes you in with a limited range of choices and configurations, a situation that is epitomized by the aforementioned 12- inch MacBook and its single USB C port for everything. PCs can be had at all shapes, sizes, specifications, and prices. In the end, it all depends on your remit and the things you care about most. An honorable draw, then.

Tie: PC and Mac

Everyday Computing

Or to put it another way, what is the best overall combination of hardware and operating system? Macs certainly score in a number of areas. For starters, they present a more consistent face more of the time. Apple maintains closer control of both hardware and software, so you’re less likely to face minor glitches, be that in terms of stability or interface quirks— when you can’t easily blame someone else’s hardware or the software, you just need to get everything working. It’s also true that when equipped with a high-DPI display rendering in so-called “Retina” mode, the Mac has the PC beaten for the crispness of its fonts. They are gorgeous.

Macs also integrate exceptionally smoothly with certain peripherals that have been designed for Mac (although that’s a bit of a double-edged sword in the value department). And yet MacOS is very much a walled garden compared to the huge expanse that is the Windows ecosystem. Windows remains a little rough around the edges, even Windows 10. But if you’re like us, and you want maximum power and configure ability, as well as the broadest software and hardware compatibility, the PC has Mac comprehensively licked.

Winner: PC

Keeping Safe

Cyber Security is the bane of modern life. Even governments and major corporations regularly get hacked. For the average Joe, the safety and anonymity of numbers is probably the best protection. So, does it matter which computing platform you choose? In extremis, we concede the PC is probably the more vulnerable as an overall platform. That is simply a consequence of its ubiquity. It presents more live targets to the bad guys, so more of them are working on ways to compromise the PC than Macs.

To put this in some context, Apple lays claim to around 7 percent of new computer sales, against a backdrop of consistently selling less than the likes of Dell, HP, and Lenovo for years on end. However, in reality, many of the threats to your online persona are platform-agnostic. If a minor website you use is hacked and leaks a password that also happens to be the key to your online banking, it hardly matters what computer you use. In other words, regarding the choices you can make, it’s mostly down to how you manage your personal data, such as passwords, not what computer you pick.

Tie: PC and Mac

The Winner

Scan the win-lose ratio, and you might conclude that the PC has served the Mac with a brutal punishment beating. In practice, it’s much more finely balanced. Partly that’s because when Mac is at its best, we have no problem recognizing that it can be utterly delightful. It’s also worth remembering that Apple’s well implemented Boot Camp dual-booting utility means you can often have your MacOS cake and eat Windows at the same time. Ultimately, however, so much of this comparison comes down to personal preference. For us, the power, flexibility, freedom, and configurability of the PC is what it’s all about.

If you’re dead serious about getting things done your way, and not being held up or messed around by somebody else’s idea of what makes a good computing platform, PC wins hands down. Where Mac makes sense for us is as a secondary system with a relatively narrow remit. Powerful desktop PC at home; a thin slice of tasty Apple portability on the move. Sounds good to us. But if there could only be one, there can only be one. And it’s the PC.
