It may not seem like a second or two would make a big difference in your workday. But seconds add up up to minutes, and the momentum of being able to strike a few days and keep trying makes an impact that's difficult to quantity. That's why I try to avoid using my mouse whenever possible: the more I can do without taking my hands off the keyboard, the quicker I can keep plugging away on the important stuff. The Keyboard Shortcuts You Should Know: Let's start with the basics: learn as many keyboard shortcuts as your brain can store. You probably know a few (Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste, for example), but there are dozens of others that can replace the clicks you make all day long. Here are a few I can't live without: The Windows key  (or  Command+Space  on a Mac): If you need to launch a new app, don't go clicking through your Start menu or Applications folder. Just press the Windows key—or hit Commnand+Space on a Mac—and start typing the name of the app in que...

Now, as per a recent report, a significant security flaw in the AirDrop system  could potentially expose the user’s private information  to a stranger in their Wi-Fi range. AirDrop Security Flaw Discovered by security researchers at the German University’s Technische Universitat Darmstadt, the vulnerability is pretty dangerous for Apple users.

NitroRansomware, the newest ransomware on the block, has been discovered demanding Discord Nitro gift codes from victims. Discord Nitro is a subscription plan that costs $9.99 and offers various features to its users. It is unusual for ransomware actors to be demanding gift codes instead of actual money. A twist in the ransomware tale The ransomware was first discovered by  MalwareHunterTeam , and  other researchers  looked into how the code works. The new strain is being distributed as a free gift code generator for Discord Nitro. After the ransomware executes, it encrypts the victim’s file and provides a three-hour time limit to provide a valid Discord Nitro. However, the three-hour limit is scareware. It adds the .givemenitro extension to the encrypted files and at the end of an encryption process, the ransomware will modify the user’s wallpaper to an evil or angry Discord logo. In addition, the ransomware verifies that the provided Discord gift codes are correct and t...

In the present day world we provide almost all our data online, so it is important to take some safety measures that'll help you to stay safe from hackers online. Here are few tips that might help you to do so : Use 2 Factor Authentication You should use 2 factor Authentication, because 2 factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account. If you have 2 factor authentication turned on in your account then you not only need the username & password but also the code (OTP), that will be sent by the site to your registered mobile number. So even if the hacker manages to get your password, he will not be able to gain access to your account because the site will only text the code to the registered mobile number (your number). Although this 2 Factor Authentication can also be bypassed! Don't Use the Same Password Everywhere You should not use the same password for all your social media accounts because even if a hacker guesses the password for one particular a...

Using Android on iPhones has been one of the hot topics among modern-day enthusiasts. Yesterday, a developer on Reddit with the username newhacker1746 got Ubuntu running on an iPhone 7 with the help of chekra1n jailbreak. This didn’t come as a huge surprise as developers of the Project Sandcastle could run Android on iOS before this. Still, what did surprise us was that the developer managed to run the full-fledged graphical shell of the GNOME desktop environment on the device. It turns out the developer used a custom  Linux kernel from Project Sandcastle  to boot the Ubuntu instance. Moreover, the developer also shared a  comprehensive guide  on how to boot into Ubuntu on iPhone 7. The best part of the tutorial is, you don’t need to jailbreak your iPhone to follow the process. Another thing to note is that the developer didn’t alter what’s in the storage. Instead, he network-booted it. Released in 2016, iPhone 7 was one of the most sold...

So normally, when you search for something on the Internet , what will you do ? You use a search engine like Google, and search for something. When you make a search, Google shows you all the matching, appropriate search results, and you can choose what website you want to visit from the search results. How does Google know these websites or webpages? The primary job or functionality of any search engine is to gather information about different websites by crawling through them using softwares or bots called spiders or crawlers . When a website is developed and is ready for deployment, the admin submits his/her website to Google Search (or any number of search engines) asking Google to include his/her website in the search results as well. This is the first time when Google gets to know the web address of that particular website. It then crawls through the submitted website. Crawling is nothing but following all the publicly available links (or pages) on the website. Google crawls thr...
