We cannot undermine the fact that information is key; especially in an an information driven foreign land like America. I can recall countless times where just knowing what right person or question to ask saved a lot of time, money and effort. Here on NL, I read stories on Nigerians who migrated to the US but ended up making Israelite trips, Making their 40 months Journey turn to a 40 year one. Or someone who swore never to work in a hospital in their home country suddenly enrolled in an LPN/RN class prepping for NCLEX. How Nice will it be to get direct, helpful working information from the point of you applying for your F-1 visa to Getting an I-20, then Application fee and all..? How lovely will it be to understand your not on your own with your B1/B2 vacation plan? How about the ones planning to give birth? or a Perfomer? or a scholarship winner? or a J-1 exchange? ow whatever US immigrant/non-immigrant visa class you pursue? For we legal US residents, How about we provide the correct information for new immigrants? Ranging from Visa categories to apply for based on specific cases, POEs, Working legally, Schooling, Self/Family petition to change status, Starting a LLC in US, choosing a career path among others. Ask questions and feel free to tag monikers with proven knowledge in this field. Let the comments roll in! CC: DisGuy justwise Lalasticlala Seun |
JUST 133? Show me a Non-deadly road in Nigeria! |
Interesting read. |
I feel this guy's pain so much that I won't mind helping out in every possible way. Doing a few reconnissance, I know Kingspay is a widely used payment app with a physical address: 101 N Wolfe St Baltimore, MD 21231 U101 N Wolfe St Baltimore, MD 2123 USA and a support email: kingspay@joinkingschat.com. The domain was transferred (possibly bought) a couple years back from enom to namecheap. Let me know what further assistance I can provide |
RIP man. Turns out he died on May 5... a couple weeks earlier. |
Litmus:That was so on point! Thank you |

Reach me privately! I have an Archaeology professor here is the US who won't only clear everybody's doubt but make you, and the rest of that site know no poverty for the rest of your lives.... Bringing Nigeria to the world as a whole. |
Remember how gravitational force pulls everything that goes up? These laws do not exclude websites too. It is estimated that websites are 0.5% more likely to have a 2 seconds downtime for every ten additional active users. It is essential to understand that these websites are made up of multiple web pages/resource which are available on a remote computer (hardware) and powered by an operating system among other software which is prone to many forms of error, making efficiency and availability of data less than 100%. Facebook and Instagram appear to be partially down for many users around the world today, 03/13/2019 as at 7:00 PM EST making #Facebookdown trend massively on Twitter, making this outage the longest Facebook has ever experienced. It is unclear how long more this downtime will last, but currently, service had not yet been restored as of this writing. Netscount’s engineer, Roland Dobbins, a renowned network performance engineer mentioned that the outage was due to an accidental network traffic jam between the cyberspace of a European internet company that collided with Facebook’s servers, mainly impacting Facebook as well as other resources hosted on these servers. Some users of Whatsapp, a Facebook-owned cross-platform messaging application also reported delays and failure in sending texts and photos on the popular platform. Downdetector.com, a website status monitoring platform showed Facebook and Instagram blackouts in large portions of the world. Is your website currently down too? Here are a few reasons why your website might be acting up as well as preventive measures to avert these technical discrepancies in the future. Hacks and Data Breach Depending on the worth of data on the website, this is always the main reason attackers might be interested in taking down a targeted website. In less organized attackers, key user login accounts may be compromised for the intent of defacing, redirecting or deleting website pages. In more sophisticated attacks, threat actors are geared towards monetary gains and make use of advanced threat methods including malware and rootkits, ransomware or botnets to initiate a DDOS attack. Server Maintenance Website hosting service providers often have scheduled server maintenance which is usually scheduled to commence and end withing off-peak periods, which can vary based on website types. In most cases, hosting providers reserve the rights to communicate this procedure to users. Sadly, this might impact customer productivity and result in loss of income in the case of unresolved outages. Human and Machine Errors Everyday websites hire software developers to write codes and consistently improve the UI/UX. Discrepancies in human-machine interactions as a result of mis-coding, bugging, and non-specific error handling and validation methodologies can result in an umbrella of errors. Hardware Malfunction Since most servers housing these websites still utilize traditional CPU circuits with continually moving parts, hardware failure is unavoidably imminent. Creating a redundant environment for an automated backup/fail-safe fosters continuity and ensure service remain uninterruptible. DNS Changes or Expirations DNS or Domain Name Services updates typically results in a temporary delay. If a website changes it’s hosting service, the IP address, physical hosting servers, network traffic hops, name servers, among other identifiers change as well. A proactive measure towards this point is budgeting more for domain life span and staying up to date with provider updates, suspension, and expiry notifications. Server Overload Server Overloads occur due to enormous traffic accessing a website at a given time. This sudden spike in traffic is usually to ensure safety on both the ends of the hosting provider and the customer. Hosts allocate bandwidth based on a customer’s subscription plan which consumes back end resources. Customers want to uphold the availability of crucial data to ensure users revisit their website. Websites like Pingdom.com, Isitdownrightnow.com and downdetector.com are handy tools to check website uptime and downtime history. Bearing in mind that most A-list websites will require more scheduled maintenance than websites with less active users, it is important to recall that web building platforms usually have vulnerabilities which might be susceptible to an exploitation or remain in it’s “zero-day” state for a period of time https://itblogr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/websites-1-1024x683.png Source: https://itblogr.com/how-to-reduce-website-down-time/ Cc: dominique |

What a sad thread already ![]() |
chukzyfcbb:I have to acknowledge the fact that you do know your stuff. Initially, I was going to make sure this is not some copy-paste from school assignment... In the mean time, let's get this started! Before we talk about the solution, lets anaylze these five key elements that define any SIEM software Cost - Managing and delpoying is super expensive. An average SOC analysts earns $110K PA while an average enterprise spends over $1M for maintenance, MSSPs, and customizations annually. Skillset - Analyst dedicated to pure alert triage (tier1 -2) are considered the least relevant in critical security events Complexity - SIEM administrators constantly suffer from alert fatigue, which is a source of error and less motivation within envirnment Noise - Having to respond to thousands of baseless false positives triggered from Splunk logs especially in the event of a critical alert. Real porblem - Most SMBs are ignorant of the importance of realtime threat detection & have tendencies to believe that a combo of a firewall, tech support and a nice AV solution is all they need Generally speaking, cybersecurity is so interwoven that typical blue team still get their hands dirty with many Red team s/w (metasploitable,burp, Nmap, Nessus...) and vice versa for red teamers too. As a matter of fact you need to understand defense in-depth methodology before getting offensive. The good side for enthusiasts as well as script kiddies is how most of these tools are either open source or freeware. I've had both hands-on as well as deploying, and administering a plethora of some of the best OEM firewalls in the industry today, some of them obviously suck! The migration towards AWS and cloud technology is also drastically changing legacy communication and connectivity. That said, Notable OEM amongst those I'll always recommend remains: Barracuda Nextgen FW, Panorama (Paloalto Networks),Juniper,Fortinet FortiGate series,Sophos, SonicWall and definitely Cisco ASA model FWs. Bonus: If you made your way into this thread you'll definitely find https://cybermap.kaspersky.com/ interesting. It's a realtime simulation of cyber attacks across the world. It's so sad how the African continent is vulnerable to most attack, making Nigeria # 79 Most-attacked country out of 195 countries in the world. If you're familiar with what Shodan can do, you'll then realize the Kaspersky cybermap and Shodan are brothers birth from different mothers! Again, these information is entirely for educative purpose only. Any other question of the day? Oya hit me!!

Great job! Welcome to the club! You should check out some of mine as well |
A serious Apple iOS bug has been discovered that allows FaceTime users to access the microphone and front facing camera of who they are calling even if the person does not answer the call. To use this bug, a caller would FaceTime another person who has an iOS device and before the recipient answers, add themselves as an additional contact to Group FaceTime. This will cause the microphone of the person you are calling to turn on and allow the caller to listen to what is happening in the room. Even worse, if the person that is being called presses the power button to mute the FaceTime call, the front facing caSecuritymera would turn on as well. What this means, is if someone is calling you on FaceTime, they could be listening and seeing what you are doing without you even knowing. BleepingComputer has tested and confirmed that this bug works in iOS 12.1.2 and we were able to hear and see the person. When testing it against an Apple Watch, though, we were not able to get the audio portion of the bug to work. While it is not known who first discovered this bug, numerous people have been posting about it on social media and making video demonstrations as shown below. Embedded video Benji Mobb™@BmManskiNow you can answer for yourself on FaceTime even if they don’t answer #Apple explain this.. 2:24 PM – Jan 28, 2019 When 9to5Mac first reported on the bug, they were only able to get the microphone snooping working. Later, BuzzFeed reported that they could also access the front facing camera and that Apple stated that they are “aware of this issue and we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week. Natalie Silvanovich, a Google Project Zero security researcher who has discovered numerous FaceTime issues in the past, has a theory as to how this could be happening. Natalie Silvanovich@natashenka Theory: FaceTime stores call participants in a list that doesn’t allow duplicates, and uses the indexes for signalling. When the caller is added a second time, the entry at index 1 is set to answered, with the expectation that it is the caller …https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/28/facetime-bug-hear-audio/ … 7:54 PM – Jan 28, 2019 For those who are rightfully concerned about this bug, my suggestion is that you disable FaceTime immediately until Apple releases a patch. Otherwise, people can not only listen in on what you are doing, but in some cases also see what you are doing. This could allow people to take compromising videos and audio without your knowledge. To disable FaceTime you can follow these steps: Go into Settings Tap FaceTime Now toggle the FaceTime switch so that it is disabled and your screens looks like the following.FaceTime Disabled Now that FaceTime is disabled, callers will be unable to utilize this bug to listen and watch you without your permission through FaceTime.
