 How to Hack Someone's Computer

As the digital world becomes more and more complex, the need for deliberate, thorough security grows. Yes, we know, you’ve got everything “password protected.” And yes, not every hacker is like the guys in the movies who are able to keyboard their way through complicated layers of encrypted, password-protected security faster than a gamer boots up a new version of Call of Duty.
In the real world it’s a lot easier than that. And no, this isn’t actually a tutorial about how to break into someone’s computer or smart phone or tablet. Just an observation of sorts. A caution to our loyal readers, if you like.
The Brand Keys 2012 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index reveals that consumers choose laptop computers on the basis of anything but security. Instead, consumers tend to select on the basis of factors like innovative design and brand reputation. This doesn’t mean that security isn’t important, but that it does mean that it’s an afterthought. Which becomes obvious when you consider how people select their security passwords.
A recent study found that the most common password used by the average business is – wait for it – “Password1.” It’s easy because it meets the three recommendations that appear in most electronic device security applications: a word that has capital and lower case letters and a numeric. It’s also wildly creative, as the many thousands of people who share it could tell you.
Below is a list of the 10 most-favored passwords. If yours is there you A) ought to think about changing it, or B) post your Social Security, credit card, and bank account numbers, and any other private information you think might be useful on your Facebook page.
  1. Password1
  2. letmein
  3. Secure1
  4. Abc123
  5. 123456
  6. monkey
  7. Facebook1
  8. passworD
  9. link2012
  10. (your first name)
Oh, and though it’s from an older, non-digital source, it would be well to remember the words of Confucius when setting your passwords: “When in a state of security, do not forget the possibility of ruin.”

What is network

NETWORK TECH WORLD What is network  A network is a group of devices, such as computers, servers, and printers, that are connected together and able to communicate with each other. Networks can be classified based on their size and scope, such as a local area network (LAN), which is a network that is confined to a small area, such as a single building or campus, or a wide area network (WAN), which is a network that spans a large geographical area, such as a city or a country. Networks can also be classified based on their communication protocols, such as the Internet, which is a global network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to connect devices around the world.

VPNs And Security

VPNs And Security VPNs and You On today’s Internet, security is a major concern.

Network Devices

NETWORK TECH WORLD A network device is a hardware device that helps to connect a computer or other devices to a network. There are several types of network devices, including: Routers: These devices route data packets between different networks. Switches: These devices allow multiple devices on a network to communicate with each other by forwarding data packets to the intended recipient. Hubs: These devices are similar to switches, but they do not filter the data packets based on the destination. Instead, they broadcast the data packets to all devices connected to the hub. Bridges: These devices connect two different networks and allow data packets to be transmitted between them. Modems: These devices allow computers to connect to the internet by converting data into a format that can be transmitted over a phone line or cable connection. Firewalls: These devices protect a network by blocking unauthorized access and monitoring traffic for any malicious activity. These are just a few exa...
