Binary I

To get into field of any software engineering you must know a few number systems. You guessed it right; one of them is binary!

• Binary is a numeric system which uses two numerals to represent all real numbers.: typically 0 (zero) and 1 (one).
• Binary number systems are usually represented in octets, meaning that there are 8 binary numbers per octet for example: 00000000 or 10101011
• Binary is useful in resolving IP addresses, decoding decimal values and more. 
  
  
• In the binary numbering system, the radix is 2. Therefore, each position represents increasing powers of 2. In 8-bit binary numbers, the positions represent these quantities:
• 2^7 2^6 2^5 2^4 2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0 = 128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1

• A 1 in a certain position means we add that value to the total. A 0 means we do not add that value. For example the binary number 0110000 has a 1 in the 2^6 position (decimal value 64) and a 1 in the 2^5 position (decimal value 32). The remaining bits are all 0 so we do not add the corresponding decimal values. The result of adding 32+64 is 96, the decimal equivalent of 01100000.
  
• Each octet is made up of 8 bits or 8 binary numbers and each bit has a value, either 0 or 1. The four groups of 8 bits have the same set of valid values in the range of 0 to 255 inclusive.
  

Overview

• If there is a 0 in a position, do not add the value.

• If all 8 bits are 0s, 00000000, the value of the octet is 0.

• If all 8 bits are 1s, 11111111, the value of the octet is 255 (128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1)

• If the 8 bits are mixed, the values are added together. For example, the octet 00100111 has a value of 39 (32+4+2+1)

New updates & topics

Greetings, it has been a while since my last post, however, I am back!

• Since the last topic which was Deep web, we will go to the genera of networking and Cisco internet work operating system.
• There will be posts about packet tracer tutorials to set the user up for practicing with such interfaces.
• Fortunately there will be a post about CG&P in which is mainly relevant to networking applications.
• Expect posts  starting 2015, cheers!

Deep Web 10 And Final! Recent Developments

For Previous Post Click Here

Even though Deep Web has become popular, many sites maybe as many as 50% has been taken off from the space.

      It was alleged that Marques was the founder of Freedom Hosting, which hosted many of the .onion sites found on the deep web, utilising 550 servers all over Europe and offering space to anyone who wanted it, with a promise never to look at the contents personally – and it later came to light that he was perhaps one of the most important men on the deep web, at least in terms of the distribution of  pornography. However, Marques and his family are protesting his innocence, claiming that all Marques did was rent web space and it was nothing to do with him that it so happened that this webspace was used for illegal activities.

The deep Web is only getting deeper. Its store of human knowledge and trivialities grows more massive every day, complicating our efforts to make sense of it all. In the end, that's perhaps the biggest challenge behind the Internet that we've created.

And of course, its darker side will always be lurking, too, just as it always does in human nature. The deep Web speaks to the fathomless, scattered potential of not only the Internet, but the human race, too.

Deep Web 9 Hidden Wiki & others

for previous post click here.

Like the wikipedia in surface world there's a Wiki in the Deep web; it explains everything in deep web, MUCH more detailed than this, and has complete .onion site reference that you can visit at anytime. But be careful, there are some things that you don't want to visit t any cost!
Hidden wiki also describes the types of the site: password protected, bit-coin entry, and so on.

Some General Statement:

• If you thought torrenting at piratebay was the best thing you could do, then it's little to nothing how severe deep web is.
• You are not 100% anonymous at the Deep web, you still can be tracked by your IP address or by the FBI if they want to do so.
• Best [known] Stable browser is TOR.

Next post will wrap up the Deep web  post series, and we will move to a new topic.

The Heartbleed Bug

It might be  little late to talk about this bug, but it's still worth the time.

The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL  software library. This  allows stealing the information that is  protected; under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging and some virtual private networks(VPNs).

• What is this Bug?

-A vulnerable SSL,  which allows the hacker to steal your information leaving NO trace!

• How long was it out there?

-About Two Years

• Am I Affected by this?

-Most likely, if you use major sites such as social networking, you're probably infected, you should change your password if you haven't already!

• Which Websites have been attacked by this bug?

Many, I'll give you a shortened list:

1. FaceBook
2. Instagram
3. Any Google related Website i.e. Youtube
4. Yahoo
5. Minecraft 
6. NetFlix
7. Drop Box
8. More...

Netflix Scam

Most of you might have used to or have Netflix to stream videos at your houses, however many sites are trying to "trick" you by making their site similar to the original Netflix web site.
 A scam was found earlier this month, which a pop-up message or an e-mail directed the user to the "fake web site", making them thinking that they're signing into a legit website.

• Here's what happens: 

1.  You log on to their site, and they inform you that "your account has  been suspended". So far  they've got your email and your Netflix password, still it's a good time to leave and ignore the phishing site, they haven't got much information... yet!
2. There's and phone number provided, which leads you to tech support scam, they ask you from some of your basic info, and then a REMOTE access to your computer, how crazy is that?
3. They'll download loads of malware and steal pretty much everything you have on your computer..
4. If you are steal on the phone they'll ask for your credit card info, from there, you just have to hang up the phone, because they know everything about you. so a simple add could be pretty dangerous, Be careful!!!

Deep web . 6 Major Services II

Now you might think that trading drugs, and hiring hit-mans are pretty brutal factors in deep web, but there's more: for Major Services I click here!

1. HUMAN EXPERIMENT
   
   
   The Human Experiment is a deep website that details medical experiments that are performed on homeless people, usually unregistered citizens. They’re picked up off the street, experimented on and then usually die, "it’s the perfect crime". 
   Here's a preview of their web site:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   2. You can also hire people to steal items for you, why?  Maybe you can't afford a particular item or you don't want a specific person to own it. You'll give him the product information, in exchange of required bitcoins. Some times he has some pre-stolen items  because some customers  ask for the product but are unwilling to pay for it, or he's just doing it for "fun"! 
   
   
   
   

Deep Web 5. Major Services.

           Before you continue, you might want to check out the last D.W. Post about ,How to get to the Deep Web itself, here; or find out the Major Factors!

• As you  may know, being in deep web makes you "anonymous"; therefore you can find unlimited amount of things that you wont find on the regular internet. Here's some common things that you'll found on the D.W.[ note most ,if not all, of these transaction work with the BitCoin!]

1. Marijuana :

• Here it is, the so-called "Golden nugget". Did you forget calling your dealer ? Then get on the deep web instead. Now you can do all your  ordering from the comfort of your own sofa.
  

  The prices varying upon  the amount of you buy. This is when your stash is dropped somewhere in ‘nature’ and hidden. 

     2.Hire a Hit-man:

• Yes, seriously, you can hire a hitman on the deep web. Want to take out your boss,wife or that journalist who wrote that poor review for your company? Well if you've got the cash, this person will do it for you. This is taken from one website on the deep web that offers this service and includes the differing prices of a hit. These prices are dependent on who the person is and what information you need to send so the hit can take place.

Deep Web. 4 Major Factors and sites.

Before you continue, you might want to check out the last D.W. Post about ,How to get to the Deep Web itself, here.

          You can find almost anything on the deep web; from chemicals to drugs rare electronic bombs to nuclear warheads. One example of  major product exchange site  is "Silk Road"[shut down in 2013],  also known as the anonymous market,  which is pretty much set up like eBay or Amazon. It has its feedback system, it's currency[bit coin] and all the other factors that a market has, but the customer(s) are truly anonymous; and there is no way of knowing that your ordered product will arrive on time or at all in some cases, since scamming is common there.

Deep Web. 3 how to access it?

Deep Web is not accessible with normal browsers such as Chrome Or Internet Explorer, because:

• Dynamic content: dynamic pages which are returned in response to a submitted query or accessed only through a form, especially if open-domain input elements are used; such fields are hard to navigate without domain knowledge.
• Unlinked content: pages which are not linked to by other pages, which may prevent Web crawling programs from accessing the content. This content is referred to as pages without backlinks (or inlinks).
• Private Web: sites that require registration and login (password-protected resources).
• Contextual Web: pages with content varying for different access contexts.
• Limited access content: sites that limit access to their pages in a technical way 
• Scripted content: pages that are only accessible through links produced by JavaScript as well as content dynamically downloaded from Web servers via Flashor Ajax solutions.
• Non-HTML/text content: textual content encoded in multimedia (image or video) files or specific file formats not handled by search engines.

To Access The Web, the search engines use web crawlers that follow hyperlinks through known protocol virtual port numbers. This technique is ideal for discovering resources on the surface Web but is often ineffective at finding deep Web resources. 

Some so-called hidden services can be accessed only through an onion router such as Tor (which allows the user to access .onion web pages.

• Fun Fact

Downloads of Tor soared in August by almost 100% as the general population became more and more concerned about their privacy amid revelations about US and UK intelligence agencies monitoring web traffic. In short, more and more people are turning to the deep web to get their internet fix and protect their information.
