Phones / How To Call A Phone On Silent And Make It Ring? by zubbie01(m): 2:35am On Jun 11, 2017
It is a critical problem when you lose your phone in silent mode.There are few apps on the Play store that can help you track a phone, but to keep things simplified, I would only mention two applications today.
Treehouse - Ring MyDroid
[img]https://3.bp..com/-RtcsSjkOrtQ/WTvuinnTspI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/PrLwQyONAsYYUP6dKH7h0-BlYuQDA06JQCK4B/s400/ring%2Bmy%2Bdroid.png[/img]
The Treehouse - Ring My Droid application has a SMS-triggered alarm system. When you install the app, you are asked to set a Key Phrase. Whenever you forget where you left your phone and can’t find it because it’s set on silent mode, just use another phone to SMS your Key Phrase to it.

Once the phone receives the Key Phrase as a SMS message, it starts to ring even if it is kept on silent mode! Now just follow the sound and find your phone. Easy!

Cerberus antitheft

Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. It's not just a "find my phone" app or a phone tracker (locator), Cerberus has many unique features that make it the perfect app to locate your phone or tablet, identify the thief and get back your device.
It has three ways to protect your device.

More than 36 million Android devices may have been infected with ad-click malware, a security firm has said.
The apps contain code that sends infected devices to a target webpage, where they generate fraudulent clicks on the site's adverts to make money for its creators.

Phones / Google Photos Update Now Lets You Hide Your Private Pictures by zubbie01(m): 3:19pm On May 27, 2017
Google promised a lot of goodies for its consumers at this year’s I/O conference. Amongst the fancy AR and VR stuff, the widely used Photos app was shown some love with the announcement of two new features. And within days of the event’s conclusion, Google has already rolled out the features to its users.
[img]https://1.bp..com/-W4rK-ncDM9I/WSmCIq1PU5I/AAAAAAAABq0/tYTomXfnf5EjBB_pAUNW_QS-QFW2nuhegCK4B/s320/new_google_photos.jpg[/img]
First of all is the “Archive” function in Photos. This feature will let you hide your photos from the “Photos” windows of the app in a separate window, enabling users to ensure their privacy by not showing everything to anyone on the home screen of the app. However, you should know that archived photos will be visible in the “Albums” section as well as search results. The archive feature is already rolled out to the current version of the Photos app on the PlayStore.

Science/Technology / Kodi App And Other Media Players Now Prone To Malicious Attack By Subtitles by zubbie01(m): 3:33pm On May 26, 2017
Check Point researchers revealed a new attack vector which threatens millions of users worldwide – attack by subtitles. By crafting malicious subtitle files, which are then downloaded by a victim’s media player, attackers can take complete control over any type of device via vulnerabilities found in many popular streaming platforms, including VLC, Kodi (XBMC), Popcorn-Time and strem.io. We estimate there are approximately 200 million video players and streamers that currently run the vulnerable software, making this one of the most widespread, easily accessed and zero-resistance vulnerability reported in recent years.
[img]https://3.bp..com/-U6RnJ1gUjIg/WSgzg6Qt76I/AAAAAAAABqI/mb-63ixsq_g8A9p6eg0wp92JJyLVhcNWQCK4B/s400/Kodi_hacked.png[/img]

What is the root cause?

The attack vector relies heavily on the poor state of security in the way various media players process subtitle files and the large number of subtitle formats. To begin with, there are over 25 subtitle formats in use, each with unique features and capabilities. Media players often need to parse together multiple subtitle formats to ensure coverage and provide a better user experience, with each media player using a different method. Like other, similar situations which involve fragmented software, this results in numerous distinct vulnerabilities.

[img]https://1.bp..com/-lJS6Ie5meM0/WSgzsjy0FxI/AAAAAAAABqQ/Ab539ZQMRmE43oLHARV6OtUlYdJ0imMdACK4B/s400/hacked%2Bin%2Btranslation.png[/img]

What’s the effect?
Scope: The total number of the affected users is in the hundreds of millions. Each of the media players found to be vulnerable to date has millions of users, and we believe other media players could be vulnerable to similar attacks as well. VLC has over 170 million downloads of its latest version alone, which was released June 5, 2016. Kodi (XBMC) has reached over 10 million unique users per day, and nearly 40 million unique users each month. No current estimates exist for Popcorn Time usage, but it’s safe to assume that the number is likewise in the millions.

Damage: By conducting attacks through subtitles, hackers can take complete control over any device running them. From this point on, the attacker can do whatever he wants with the victim’s machine, whether it is a PC, a smart TV, or a mobile device. The potential damage the attacker can inflict is endless, ranging anywhere from stealing sensitive information, installing ransomware, mass Denial of Service attacks, and much more.

Phones / Android Users Can Now Read Websites Even When There Isn't A Connection Available by zubbie01(m): 9:06am On May 21, 2017
Google rolled out a new feature for Android users on Monday that allows them to save entire Websites in Chrome for reading later.
[img]https://3.bp..com/-_lGGb3Z-IT4/WSE0ASUqCmI/AAAAAAAABkI/3qHauSZ9WKcbK_hnGImpX847Kc-qTdYSQCK4B/s320/Google_chrome_android.jpg[/img]
With just one single long press, you can save a site and then read it when you're underground on the subway without a connection, up in a plane,or anywhere else where you're far from a network.

Unlike similar options that allow you to save the text of an article for later, Chrome's feature saves the entire website so that you can view it was meant to be. Here's how.
•First make sure you have the latest version of Chrome from the Google Play Store.

•Next, open up Chrome and head to a website with a list of stories you might want to read later, www.digitalbog.com
[img]https://2.bp..com/-L-r4qRrCM0Y/WSE-iSWtx0I/AAAAAAAABkY/aWjbbuyZpnEPK9qco9wTuIQPq6tuU8s_ACK4B/s1600/Browse%2Bwebsite%2Bfree.jpg[/img] [img]https://1.bp..com/-sKl-Q1QlvyI/WSE-nm5_tTI/AAAAAAAABkg/SptLeJiSCP8bHR92cwKybUgZI_zoI1q3QCK4B/s320/Browse%2Bwebsite%2Bfree1.jpg[/img]

•Long press on any link and tap "Download link" from the popup menu.

•The link will download. If you don't have a connection, you can tell Chrome to download the story when you're back online.

•To access your save stories, just view your open tabs or tap the menu button and click "Downloads."
That's it! And don't be bummed if you're on iOS. Apps such as Pocket and Read it Later offer a similar experience.

Programming / French Researchers Find Way To Unlock Wannacry Without Ransom by zubbie01(m): 4:43pm On May 20, 2017
French researchers said on Friday they had found a last-chance way for technicians to save Windows files encrypted by WannaCry, racing against a deadline as the ransomware threatens to start locking up victims' computers first infected a week ago.

WannaCry, which started to sweep round the globe last Friday and has infected more than 300,000 computers in 150 nations, threatens to lock out victims who have not paid a sum of $300 to $600 within one week of infection. (/2q0gVEr)
[img]https://1.bp..com/-kvBdeNXxY9w/WSBjCQC5YtI/AAAAAAAABjI/a64bc6dXSLAU5XJPkzQ8rxg_7z3GqjqsACK4B/s1600/French%2Bresearchers%2Bunlock%2BWannaCry.jpg[/img]
A loose-knit team of security researchers scattered across the globe said they had collaborated to develop a workaround to unlock the encryption key for files hit in the global attack, which several independent security researchers have confirmed.

The researchers cautioned that their solution only works in certain conditions, namely if computers had not been rebooted since becoming infected and if victims applied the fix before WannaCry carried out its threat to lock their files permanently.

Europol said on Twitter that its European Cybercrime Centre had tested the team's new tool and said it was "found to recover data in some circumstances".

The group includes Adrien Guinet, who works as a security expert, Matthieu Suiche, who is an internationally known hacker, and Benjamin Delpy, who helped out by night, in his spare time, outside his day job at the Banque de France.

"We knew we must go fast because, as time passes, there is less chance to recover," Delpy said after a second sleepless night of work this week allowed him to release a workable way to decrypt WannaCry at 6 am Paris time (0400 GMT) on Friday.

Delpy calls his free tool for decrypting infected computers without paying ransom "wanakiwi".

Suiche published a blog with technical details summarizing what the group of passing online acquaintances (/iIFDZs) has built and is racing to share with technical staff at organizations infected by WannaCry.

Wanakiwi was quickly tested and shown to work on Windows 7 and older Windows versions XP and 2003, Suiche said, adding that he believed the hastily developed fix also works with Windows 2008 and Vista, meaning the entire universe of affected PCs.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that carries out the cryptoviral extortion attack from cryptovirology that blocks access to data until a ransom is paid and displays a message requesting payment to unlock it. Simple ransomware may lock the system in a way which is not difficult for a knowledgeable person to reverse. More advanced malware encrypts the victim's files, making them inaccessible, and demands a ransom payment to decrypt them. The ransomware may also encrypt the computer's Master File Table (MFT) or the entire hard drive.Thus, ransomware is a denial-of-access attack that prevents computer users from accessing files since it is intractable to decrypt the files without the decryption key. Ransomware attacks are typically carried out using a Trojan that has a payload disguised as a legitimate file.

Ransom: A hacker's way to get paid
Ransomware in figures :
Every 10 seconds someone in the world is hit by ransomware
$1 billion was extorted from ransomware victims in 2016. The threat is growing! In 2015 the total was $50 million. $500 is the average ransoms payment, but can exceed $10,000
While initially popular in Russia, the use of ransomware scams has grown internationally
Infection with one wrong click
Ransomware infects a computer and encrypts all the data on its storage drives while spreading to any other vulnerable computer that are connected. How can a computer become infected? Links and attachments in spam emails. Cyber criminals use clever social engineering tricks to make you click malicious links or attachments included in a spam email.
Malicious websites
With a “drive-by download,” you only need to visit a site or click on a banner to download the malicious software to your computer.
Video Games
Gamers are targeted through saved-game content and downloadable “extras” that drop the malware on their computer.
Antivirus software can fail to detect ransomware infections. Cybercriminals frequently design their malicious code to avoid discovery by researching known anti-malware solutions in order to identify weaknesses in the detection technologies or the program architecture.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday alerted all operators and their respective subscribers to the outbreak of Ransomware.
"This situation demands that proactive measures be taken by all players in the telecommunication eco-system to forestall the hazards of critical data loss, financial losses and ultimately network/business disruption."
The Commission urged Nigerians, as protective measures to among others; obtain software patch released by Microsoft in March 2017 to fix the Ransomware Virus; plan scheduled penetration tests on the networks and systems to ensure protection and availability at all times.
The Commission urged subscribers who use their smartphones as substitutes to computers for Internet access to protect themselves and their devices by not opening e-mail attachments/links from unknown sources; not clicking pop-ups and applets on unknown websites and installing effective antivirus software for their mobile devices.

Science/Technology / FACT! The First Alarm Clock Invented Could Just Ring At 4am by zubbie01(m): 5:36pm On Apr 26, 2017
Today I took in a quite fascinating reality about alarm clocks and their creation. An alarm clock or a wake up timer is a clock that is intended to wake an individual or gathering of people at determined times. The essential capacity of these timekeepers is to stir individuals from their night's rest or short snoozes; they are once in a while utilized for different updates also.

Most utilize sound; some utilization light or vibration. Some have sensors to distinguish when a man is in a light phase of rest, keeping in mind the end goal to abstain from waking somebody who is profoundly snoozing, which causes tiredness, regardless of the possibility that the individual has had satisfactory rest. To stop the sound or light, a catch or handle on the clock is squeezed; most timekeepers naturally stop the alert if left unattended for a long time. A great simple wake up timer has an additional hand or inset dial that is utilized to determine the time at which to enact the alert. Wake up timers are likewise found on cell phones and watches.


An early model of the wake up timer was imagined by the Greeks around 250 BC. The Greeks manufactured a water clock where the raising waters would both keep time and in the end hit a mechanical bird that set off a disturbing shriek.

The first alarm clock or wake up timer was concocted by Levi Hutchins of New Hampshire, in 1787. Be that as it may, the ringing ringer alert on his time could ring only at 4 am. On October 24, 1876 Seth E Thomas invented a mechanical twist up alarm clock that could ring at your coveted time and was soon licensed.
