Is 5G Coronavirus conspiracy theory true or false?
Creating Passwords that will take years to crack
Are you watching stranger things on Netflix or any other shows.? My password is 'netflix123' [ size: 10 and medium strength based on password strength test ] . It's boring creating passwords with strong strength.
...
After 2 mins.
Well, this article will clear all your doubts about the importance of creating a password with strong strength.
Database breach is common these days not leaving tech giants like Facebook etc.
Recently unacademy, a leading education portal got hacked,22 millions of customers data got leaked.
Their passwords are now changed because those were very weak according to password strength test.
You'll be thinking the sites are not encrypting your data, then you're wrong.
Remember:
"No encryption can save a weak password from getting cracked."
UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) conducted a survey then analyzed the passwords of accounts that are stolen worldwide.
List of top 10 common passwords is your password among them
123456.
123456789.
qwerty.
password.
111111.
12345678.
abc123.
1234567.
Any hacker should be able to crack the above passwords in the blink of an eye.
Have you created a strong password?
Don't assume your passwords are being guessed as hackers use computer tools to crack passwords using the below methods:
- Brute force: It's a hit & trial method where words formed using the combination of a set of characters are checked. But it takes a lot of time to crack longer passwords.
'roses are red' is this is your password
with meaningful words, then it's safe!!
But.....!?
- Dictionary attack: It's best for long password or passphrases. As users having long password always uses some meaninful words, a combination of meaningful phrases or maybe mnemonics.
And the dictionary is a book off meaningful words or phrases, or most used passwords.
They got your password
'roses' 'are' 'red' each word is available in our English dictionary.
Creating passwords with strong strength
Not to use your family name, your name, your phone no. etc.
Rules:
•Upper Case letters (A-Z)
•Lower Case letters (a-z)
•Digit (0-9)
•Special characters (@,# etc.) >
•long password (min. 10 characters)
Length is important?
asdfgh nearly takes 0 seconds to crack.
asdfghjkl adding 1 more character increases its cracking time to 0.01 sec.
Let's try to create a complex password,
I've created an 8 length password
(T-i0!H; [ 9 years to crack it ]
(T-i0!H;h [886 years to crack it ]
Wow.....
I think the hacker is dead!!
But It's difficult to remember this strong password right?
If we can't remember then all our time is being spent on resetting our passwords.
Let's try to make some pattern!
Taking a simple sentence
"My name is Charles."
>> My/ name/ is/ Charles.
M/n/I/C. [ 203 years]
>>created a memorable strong password
It's too easy to remember but difficult to crack.
Now your turn, create a million-year password for your account and do strength test using the below my1login tool.
Note: This tool will not save the password you're typing and gives approx. results, as the processors & tactics are getting advanced day by day.

The Recaptcha of Google will soon lose the market of captchas
The battle of captchas starts from 2020
Google Recaptcha v/s Hcaptcha let's see who is going to win?
I'm sure you're thinking that I'm stupid as of course, Google's Recaptcha will win!.
Does that mean Hcaptcha will not stand a chance?
Let's learn who's more probable to make a win but before this learn about the captcha, from below:
Captcha is a system created to prevent spam done using bots i.e person verifying the person on the site is human or a robot.
History started using captcha
It was first used in 1997 but didn't have a name of captcha.
So real captcha we see today started it's a real journey from Carnegie Mellon University in 2000, then a lot of companies like PayPal started using it to prevent the fraudulent activities.
These types of fraudulent, data scrapping activities raised since we started using the internet. So Google acquired this awesome technology in 2009 named it as Recaptcha we see today.
It began using it for their Google books. Google is a big tech company at that time, distributedRecaptcha under its supervision to companies etc. for free.
Recaptcha is getting weird
Google is still a brand and its Recaptcha is on every site even at big sites like Facebook, Twitter etc.
But this name created a new ability to spy on user .
As most of the sites reported that it is not paying attention to its privacy policy and is collecting users data from their websites for its benefits.
*Stealing unnecessary data*
Even Google converted its free service of Recaptcha to paid.
To take over the market of Recaptcha,
hCaptcha a best alternative is born with a:
•Trusted privacy policy
•A free service
•you'll get paid
Due to these things even the major website security provider company (DDos protection, internet security etc.) Cloudflare in April 2020 adopted the hCaptcha to prevent the sites from getting hacked and dropped the captcha.

4 types of deployment models of cloud
Tuesday, 9 June 2020
Iaas, SAAS, Paas: Types of Cloud Computing Services - Part 2
SaaS ( Software as a Service)
--For Customers
The product is maintained by the service provider.
You just have to use the software based on your subscription plans.
Why SaaS?
• Users don't have to understand the algorithm behind it use the software and solve your problems.
• Users don't have to buy expensive software, just pay for it if there is some subscription and stop paying if u don't want to use.
• The source code is not available to users so no stealing of data.
Just consume!!!
•Video watching platforms ( Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar, YouTube)
•Messaging platforms ( Twitter, WhatsApp)
• Google Drive, Dropbox etc.
PaaS ( Platform as a Service)
--- For Developers
You have to focus & management of apps created.
Don't worry about the configuring hardware or OS.
Why PaaS?
• It prevents you from buying hardware or software for deploying your apps
• Companies spends more time on software development rather than management and maintenance.
•Deploying apps require a high degree of skill but PaaS reduces in simple steps.
Just Build !!!
Google App engine,Heroku,Force.com etc.
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
-- For Admins
The basic building block of cloud IT provides access to networking, OS, data storage.
Don't worry about the IT guys, servers and hardware.
Why IaaS?
•Better for guys hosting their big website/web apps
•You don't have to buy land and get servers, easy setups are available; just buy it, everything will be handled by IaaS providers
•Increased reliability means if one server fails the other server will take over the data.
•No worry about securing your own data centres, the provider will do that for you.
Just Host !!!
Cloud services used for hosting websites etc. Eg:Amazon Web services,Oracle ...many more
Try to guess major apps or sites as SaaS , IaaS or PaaS and comment below.
