Android security November update an update for the bugs and security flaws but "dirty cow" Linux flaw does not include in the update by Google. Last month, the Linux security researcher, Phil Oester, discovered that a Linux kernel bug 9 years old (CVE-2016-5195) "Dirty Cow" is seen infected many android users. Google had to correct this - after all, Android uses the Linux kernel - with its latest security updates, but as it turns out, the search giant has set aside the old important flaw to fix with its security updates dated for November.
Android Security November Update fixes 15 critical flaws associated with the platform, but surprisingly, this vulnerability discovered by Oester has not yet found a solution. The extent of the danger of this vulnerability can be understood by the fact that it can give root access to a device to the attacker in just five seconds. "The exploit is trivial to run in nature, never failed and probably been there for years - the version I got was compiled with GCC 4.8," said Oester last month. The bug was initially updated 11 years ago, but the update was subsequently canceled in another update. Threatpost Kaspersky Lab reported that, although the main setting in Android security update for November does not include a fix for the Dirty Cow Flaw, Google released another patch for pixels and Nexus devices. He added that Samsung also launched a solution for its mobile devices. Google will present the Patch for Dirty Cow Android in the Android Security Update of December. According to the side of this decision, the operation of these errors leaves no trace. This type of disruption makes it still dangerous because the users will not be aware even if their security has been compromised.
Amazing Fansmitter malware that steals data from computer without Internet or network connection and steals datavia cooling fan of a computer. The researchers of the Negev Ben-Gurion University of cyber-research center created malware, called Fansmitter which hijack a computer with airspaces by manipulating the speed of your CPU and chassis fansoundproduce signals that is picked up by a microphone of a smartphone.
This computer malware works in a scenario in which this trick can work requires several preparatory steps, the researchers wrote. Basically what it does is that the malware uses the computer fan to act as a transmitter, while the smartphone acts as a receiver. The researchers said the target machine with air gapped are first affected physically. The researchers cited the Stuxnet attack - when a USB drive was used to deploy malware that attacked machines in an Iranian nuclear site - as an example of how this could be achieved. The smartphone is expected to be hacked before the attack that you can receive data via smartphone. Moreover, it must be within 24 feet of the target computer. Then applies the computer the desired data is modulated and waves running emitted from the computer fan transmitted with acoustic sound, created by faster or slower. This information will be "heard" by the hacked smartphone, decoded and transmitted to the remote user. The binary data modulated and transmitted through these audio signals to a microphone distance." "We show that the software can adjust the speed of the internal fanto control the acoustic signals emitted by a computer," the report says. The process takes a long time as the fan can only transmit the data at a speed of15 bits per minute. Fansmitter malware has been successfully tested in a normal working environment with ambient background noise from an air conditioner, multiple workstations and other people.
Hacker tantrums here is how you can protect yourself. 2016 proves to be the year of the data breach. Hackers have been particularly active and this month we heard about two major data breaches: offered millions of Gmail ID and password for sale, and there is a suspect data leak of the website IRCTC which is used by tens of millions of Indians.
With the hackers on the street, how can you be sure? If you think you want to hack my account and steal my data, I could not be more wrong. According to a recent report, the hackers stole over 272 million e-mail accounts and passwords and were ready to negotiate with them, waiting, not for money, but only for a good name in hacker forums. All discrete user could be a target. You too. Unfortunately, the same password is used by the most people for different accounts, for example, the same password for Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, or online banking. Even a simple brute force attack can store thousands of e-mails credentials and more professional force can do more harm. So what can you do? Here are some simple things you can do to stay safe from hackers.
1. Do not trust ad-on
A website can say that an add-on is necessary to perform something or other on the page. Do not trust them. Plug-ins are applications that the browser perform specific functions to support can be installed. For example, a plugin will allow IDM to download a video. All add-ons are not trustworthy. Even your browser will slow down and thus the system. Also, add-ons can insert malware, cookies on your system easily. Malicious software can keep track of all actions on the computer, online and offline, and steal data. Always install add-ons of trusted developers like Google, Adobe etc. So the next time a website that asks you to install an add-on to your Firefox or on Chrome browser, simply close the tab. There is no surefire way to deny access to hackers. But even a small thing can make a big difference, the Internet is dark and full of hackers.
2. Do not rely on pop-ups
All pop-ups are advertisements, and all try to draw your attention. Simply, all sites work with advertisers. And the exchange of user information with advertisers through the web Digital Advertising Alliance marks. And it is not illegal. But then not all advertisers are legitimate. By Clicking on a pop-up shown on the page, lets bots, malware, trojans installed on your system. None of these things are good for you.
3. Install Ad Blocker
No popups, no advertising anywhere, even on YouTube. It does not sound like a dream? You can have it. Just add a simple browser extension Adblock Plus. Adblocker can remove all the ads, pop-ups, and malicious scripts even from intrusive websites. There are websites that ask you to disable ad blocker, as the main display is essentially money generate for websites, and they are not asking to make this responsibility from you. You can disable the ad blockers for trusted sites. However, it would be better to use your own criteria for the site you need to turn it off.
4. Turn off location
The latest version ofMicrosoft Windows 10hasadded location tab similar to Android and IOS. In earlier versions of Windows had this default. The feature is useful for sites that require location-based information such as Zomato. Some suspicious websites, ask to share especially your location. Be careful here.
5. Be aware of Spam
Spam also operate similarly to online ads. You receive spam messages based on your surfing habits, Google search etc. This is also legal, as described above. But some spams emails contains links in them. Something like "XYZ wants to beyour friend on Facebook. Click here." This is probably a phishing link, that is, as the real Facebook page will appear but easy to steal your username and password for the hacker. It is proposed that a spam should be deleted immediately. And you put the filter in your email for any such type of mail they should filter directly in the spam box.
6. Next change passwords regularly
This is the most important. Observe the following steps: 1. If you use a password for multiple accounts, stop that habit. 2. Makea routine to change passwords every three to six months. 3. Create passwords that are written in lower case, in capital letters, numbers and special characters. 4. Stop using easy to guess passwords and passwords based on your birth or your partner or everything about your life, favorite food, or film. Following these steps will secure you from hackers on the Internet. There is no surefire way to deny access to hackers. But even a small thing can make a huge as the internet is dark and full of hackers.
10 tips to increase the Wi-Fi signal at your home. Wii-Fi router is one of the most important pieces of technology that is in the house. In India, it is also one of the most overlooked technologies considering the poor quality of modems, which are given by the ISP India regions. The situation is very bad. Even if you manage to installed your WiFi modem, in a fairly central location, there are several elements that come into play. Most likely you will have to suffer from their dreaded "dead zones", having no internet access or your internet connection speed will be very slow.
For example, the Nextra fiber line in India comes with an abysmal Binatone router. The modem has a shorter range, even less than the old Beetle Airtel modems. So, as you can bring something like that okay. Most ISPs will push consumers to Strecker. But then the stretch burst speed kill. Therefore, we need a few better ways to speed up the Wi-Fi and to solve Wi-Fi problems if you have them in your house. 1- The best way to solve Wi-Fi problem is buying a new router. Preferably, you should opt for a new dual-band router that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11ac and 802.11nstandard. 2- It is important that the WiFi channel that your router is using is proper. PC with Windows, you can install a free tool called inSSIDer to find out which channel the router is turned on. In OS X, you can hold down the "option" and the menu for Wi-Fi Settings Click to find out what channel the router is running. To change the settings, you must go to the model of your router because they depend on the make and model of router. 3- As already mentioned, the modem or router is perhaps the most overlooked of the technology in the room. You may not know, but your router also gets software updates every time, but these changes occur manually in most cases. To upgrade the router enter the configuration interface, which does not happen often, and always there is a firmware update waiting for you. 4- As a router, it may be a problem with your PC or Mac, or the latest drivers work. In OS X El Capitan, especially there are some problems which reduce the Wi-Fi connection which can make your internet speed slow speed and of low range. To solve it, you need to remove four files: - / Library / Preferences / System Configuration / The five files in question are: - com.apple.airport.preferences.plist - com.apple.network.identification.plist - Com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist - NetworkInterfaces.plist - Preferences.plist. Before you delete these files, it is recommended to perform a backup (if something goes wrong). After you delete these files, you will notice a significant improvement in the wireless performance. 5- One of the things you can do with the WiFi router is to move in a central location in your home. If you are bitten the bullet and buy a separate router, it may be, you can use a CAT-5 Ethernet cable, so it can be placed in the middle to improve coverage at home. 6- The router can be improved. At least their antennas. Router with external antennas can be upgraded with high gain antennas and can be arranged in a desired direction. High-gain antennas can cost between Rs 3,500 to 7,000 and can be found at places like Nehru Place or online markets as Amazon.in or even AliExpress, come from China. 7. It is possible that your Wi-Fi signal may be suffering from many interferences. Cordless phones, microwaves, and Bluetooth devices can cause interference. You can get rid of all, or buy a dual-band router such as Apple Airport Extreme or NetGear N600, which can operate in the 5 GHz band. This band is not affected much by interference. 8- You can increase the range of your WiFi signal with a trick called the WindSurfer tinfoil trick. You can use an old can of coke and use a can opener to peel open. You will need to make a hole in the bottom of the box so that the antenna of the router can still pass from it and the rest of the body can act as a rudder signal. The results will not be great, but you will observe a little Wi-Fi signal boost. 9. If you are on a different floor than the router, then it is best to keep the 2.4 GHz band, which are better to drill through walls. 5 GHz channels, as already mentioned, does not suffer opposite to disturbances, but they have problems with walls. 10- If you open to being adventurous, you can use an open source software tool called DD-WRT. It is known to develop the potential of the router, which is, of course, a positive impact on the performance of the router.
How to securely delete privacy risks from a smartphone or an Android tablet. If you want to get rid of your smartphone or tablet having Android OS, but wants to ensure that all of your data safely deleted. Here's what you need to know.
How to securely wipedata delete privacy risks from a smartphone or an Android tablet
1. Backup all of your data that is valuable to you in your smartphone or tablet because when it's gone, it's gone. There is no Cancel button you can press to get back your data. 2. Then plug the charger into the device, so that it has sufficient power for the privacy wipe process. This is important because the process can take hours. 3. Go to> Security Settings> Encrypt phone (or tablet Encrypt) to start on the Android 4.4 or lower or go to Settings> Security> Lock to the start screen process on Android 5.0 and later. 4. You will be guided through the process. Set a strong password. Do not bother encrypting the SD card because you can pop your SD card out and keep it rather than wipe it. This process may take more than an hour, so be patient and make sure that you have the time. 5. Go to Settings> Backup and Restore> Factory data reset, click Reset phone (or tablet reset). 6. Once this process is complete, the data is still there. Technically, it is always in the flash memory but now flash memory is recognized as free space and can be overwritten now. Because data is encrypted, so the recovery would be difficult. However, if you want to eradicate it completely, go to the next step. 7. The best way to get rid of encrypted data is overwritten by new data. There are two ways to do this. You can load large files on the device (large video files are ideal for this) until the memory is full, and then delete these files or you can destroy the data with a custom application iShredder digitally to shred the data. That's it your data is now gone, and you're sure to sell your smartphone or tablet.

Android users do not download these apk applications. Researchers have discovered more than 100 applications that fail to encrypt data logon correctly, so it is very easy for hackers to steal your password. This is bad news for users of Android. Security researchers have discovered more than 100 apps, android apk failing to encrypt data logging properly, so it is terribly easy for hackers to steal your password. Even worse: the vast majority of application vendors are not doing anything about it.
The specific matter, HTTPS vulnerability is not a new problem. In fact, we've known for years that Android applications are susceptible to this problem, and that puts private information of users in danger. So really it is not news that still around. What may surprise you is that the list of affected applications include popular services like Match.com, NBA Game Time, Safeway, and ready-Pizza Hut. So if you've been asking delicious hot dog pizza, crust pizza hut with your phone, you must change password at this time. Also you should probably stop using these applications until you know that have been set. Do not panic too: Not all Android applications that suffer from this vulnerability. Security researchers say that these applications have been downloaded over 200 million times, so it is 200 million opportunities for hackers to steal passwords ... but that's not much in the grand scheme of things. Earlier this year, a lot of applications that have been downloaded over 350 million times were identified as equally insecure. (OkCupid was among them.) Defective Encryption was also the cause of a mobile security shake again in 2012. So it's not that application developers do not know that HTTPS vulnerabilities are a problem. It is quite outrageous that are not doing anything about it, though.
Samsung security flaws leave 600 million Android users vulnerable to simple keyboard hack. New research indicates NowSecure a critical flaw in Samsung phones left an estimated 600 million vulnerable devices hacks by simple man-in-middle-style-hack. This is not the first time that poor security practices of Samsung has been in the news this year, but this mobile dwarfs default encryption smart television themes we cover this spring. The problem, however, has the same root cause - not existing encryption practices and poor security measures.
In this case, Samsung sent his own version of SwiftKey, an Android keyboard. SwiftKey developers have stated that the error is not present in their version of the code, which means Samsung is responsible for the creation and distribution of the failure. SwiftKey update process runs invisibly in the background, but it runs on the level of user permissions system. That's just one step away from root access and permission process to bypass security checks and safeguards that might otherwise prevent operation occurs. There is little in the way of checking files or confirmation - the update process performs a check of hash in the ZIP file you download, but researchers have already discovered how to bypass it. Because Samsung does all this in plain text, it is trivially easy for anyone in the same Wi-Fi network for a classic-man-in-the-middle attack and serve a SHA1 hash infected with identical file. This can be used to monitor the camera, microphone, read messages, and install applications, all without the user being aware of it. SwiftKey because you can not remove, any owner of Galaxy S5 or S6 is potentially affected. Do not use the keyboard does not help, either - you can still check for updates in the background and will be vulnerable whenever it does. The Android ecosystem is fundamentally inadquate A few months ago, we've covered Google's decision to stop patching previous versions of Android, although how they continue to sell devices that use these versions. One of the most common defenses of the company is that Google should not bother to write patches for its own operating system, as it does not control the distribution platform and can not force computer manufacturers to really roll out an update. Samsung is now trapped in a similar boat. By all accounts, the company actually fixed the error SwiftKey January, but no single company has yet included the review. That means that everyone with one of these devices is now vulnerable to attack MitM quite trivial. While Samsung deserves a significant part of the blame for not checking their own security measures, it is not the only institution to blame. What we see here is the end result that no one takes seriously the security at any particular level. This lack of security best practices is one reason why the Internet of Things could stop off. In a world where devices are very easy to manipulate or cut, the benefits of the "dumb" products could quickly overwhelm the bells and whistles manufacturers try to paste in your various "smart" hardware. As things stand, the devices ship with security implementations incredibly broken, and the only response from wireless carriers is sit on their collective thumbs. If you own a Samsung Galaxy device, as of today, there is absolutely nothing you can do to close this security hole. Rooting the device to remove the keyboard or cyanogen installation could take care of the problem, but below that, everyone is stuck with it.
