The famous antivirus firm Kaspersky has unveiled its new operating system, called Kaspersky OS — claims to be one of the “hackproof” and secure operating system.
The OS has been in development for 14 years and makes its debut on a Kraftway Layer 3 Switch.
“This unassuming black box is a protected layer 3 switch powered by Kaspersky OS and designed for networks with extreme requirements for data security,” said Kaspersky CEO,Eugene Kaspersky.
According to blogpost of Eugene — The GUI-less operating system is built from scratch, “not even the slightest smell of Linux.”
The Kaspersky OS based on microkernel architectureand and can be custom-designed as per requirements by using different modification blocks.
Kaspersky OS has a built-in security system, which controls the behavior of applications and the OS’s modules. So in order to hack this platform hacker would need to break the digital signature which requires a quantum computer.
DIY YouTuber Thomas Kim shows how to build a deadly USB killer to fry any computer or laptop.
May be you heard about USB killer which fires an instant surge of power through your computer’s motherboard when connected and fries your computer/laptop. But the device was priced around 49$.
And recently a YouTuber demonstrated that it’s very easy to create your own USB Killer.
Kim has made his USB Killer by combining camera flash parts with AA battery and made it such that the USB pen drive will deliver 300 volts when plugged into an unsuspecting computer.
It’s effectively the same as a power surge, but the difference is that most power supplies have protection against those. USB buses often can’t offer the same kind of resistance, and consequently relay the energy to the rest of the computer, instantly killing it.

Google publicized a zero-day vulnerability in current versions of Windows just days after reporting the problem to Microsoft.
Yes,no fix yet from Microsoft.
This is not the first time Google has disclosed a Windows bug to the public. They did it in January for Windows 8.1. Since Google has a policy of notifying the public of unpatched vulnerabilities in third-party software seven days after reporting them to the company concerned if it sees them being actively exploited.
The zero-day vulnerability in Windows takes the form of a local privilege escalation within the Windows kernel, allowing malicious processes to escape the sandbox which would ordinarily limit the damage they can do.
The vulnerability can be exploited through a browser — though Google claims that Chrome is immune thanks to its use of a tool known as win32k lockdown mitigation — simply by visiting an affected website.
Although Microsoft seemed displeased but was reluctant to issue a statement regarding the zero day bug. “We believe in coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and today’s disclosure by Google puts customers at potential risk,” a Microsoft spokesperson later told Venture Beat.
Blog post also notes that Google reported a zero-day flaw (CVE-2016-7855) in Flash Player to Adobe at the same time as it contacted Microsoft. Adobe pushed an emergency patch for its software last Wednesday. Since some sources reported that the exploit Google describes requires the Adobe Flash vulnerability. Since Flash has been patched, the Windows vulnerability is mitigated.
So users are advised to update their Flash software now and apply Windows patches as soon as they become available.
How a programmer differ from a hacker or a developer ?
Most of us often use this three terms — probably without knowing their actual job. So it’s important to understand that these are not all the same thing.
In this article we are going to break it down to you — difference between a programmer, a hacker and a developer, What their actual job ? How they related to each other ?
Although, a programmer,a hacker and a developer somewhat related to each other. All of these guys how a programming language can be utilized , but in different ways. Lets start :
Programmer :
A programmer is a person with well defined skills who entirely focused on writing code.Programmers are mostly mastered in one or more programming languages and have reasonably good knowledge of related areas as well.
Hacker :
A hacker is someone who makes things. They mostly alters the thing created by programmers and make them work in a different way. Yes,they also writes code. And hackers have a deep knowledge about functionality of computers and other hardwares. And also they are damn researchers.
Developers are creators, everyone can’t become a developer because they are trained to write codes. They are expert at finding ways around problems and plugging components together to fulfill a set of requirements. They create things or solve problems by following a set of design and implementation principles.
So these are the basic difference between a programmer, a hacker and a developer.
In short, all three solves problems or create one by writing codes. Anyone who knows programming languages can become a programmer while anyone who knows both programming languages and working of computers could be a hacker but mostly only a trained programmer can become a developer.
And actually they are all related to each other. Mostly people who writes codes can be any combination of these.
Because all hackers and developers are considered as a programmer.But many programmers and even developers are not creative enough to be considered as a hacker. And also many programmers, and even hackers, are not educated or experienced enough to be considered as a developer.
If you came under any of these categories,then you are awesome. You should be proud for being a programmer or a hacker or a developer because solving problems using code is a superpower by itself.
Now we got Widows 10 or OS X or a couple of awesome Linux distros to ligthen up PC and laptops. What about the classic versions of operating systems.
Yes, of course present generation feels it as the worst operating systems ever made but they are ruled the old computing world.
Those of us who love technology aren’t likely to forget our first desktop operating systems. But it might be difficult to fire up the first PCs you ever owned today. Interestingly some computer enthusiasts have made it easy for us to relive what it was like to use them again with almost no effort at all.
Yes with help of your browser now you can run your classic versions of Windows and Mac operating systems. Here are a few such websites or we can say some online emulators to fuel your tech nostalgia 🙂 .
It’s the very first version of the most widely used desktop operating system in history, released in 1985. And you can live in the past right now by clicking on jsmachines.net, short for “JavaScript Machines.”
The emulator is in black and white rather than color, and you can’t save any changes, but you can use the mouse cursor and run the earliest Windows programs, like Reversi, Notepad, and Paint.
Mac OS System 7
This website lets you run Mac OS System 7, released in 1991, on a simulated Macintosh Plus, a computer introduced in 1986. As a nice touch, it runs the OS within an illustration of the physical computer.
You can try out some freeware included with the system. Highlights include Shufflepuck, an astronomy program called Orion, and an early version of Microsoft Word for Mac.
Mac OS 8.6
Released in 1999 and one of the last versions of the classic Mac operating system before it was replaced by OS X, you can find this old operating system at VirtualDesktop.org. They also emulate Windows 95,Windows 98,Windows me,Windows 2000,Mac OS X etc..
Andrea Faulds, a 19-year-old developer from Scotland, has been able to get run Windows 95 in almost any web browser. She used used emscripten, an emulator that converts C++ code to JavaScript in real-time. It requires no downloads, plugins, or any special software.
Windows XP
Windows XP still famous operating system from Microsoft also have an online emulator. XP simulation comes courtesy of Total Emulator, a neat little website that isn’t pretty but makes it easy to switch among Windows ME, 98, 2000, XP, and Vista.
So these are a bunch of browser-based emulators that show you what the old OSes looked like and let you click on a few things. If you want to be able to use all the features of an old operating system, you’ll probably have to find the software and load it in a virtual machine.
Popular Canadian company, BlackBerry Ltd launched its third Android-based phone on Tuesday, said to be the last phone from BlackBerry family.
BlackBerry who lost most of the market to Apple and others,, last month said it planned to completely outsource the development of its smartphones to focus on its more profitable business of making software and managing mobile devices.
So this newly launched Android smartphone — BlackBerry DTEK60 — would be the last smartphone for which BlackBerry buys components itself, which carries a heavier risk if it does not sell well.
BlackBerry DTEK60 is the most powerful Android phone in the company’s arsenal. The device, which has a 5.5 inch touchscreen, will be priced at $499.
BlackBerry DTEK60 comes with Android v6.0 Marshmallow, 4 GB RAM, powered with Quad-core Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 processor. Features 21 MP primary camera with dual-LED flash and 8 MP front facing camera. DTEK60 possess 32 GB internal storage and can be expanded up to to 256 GB. Phone comes with 3000 mAh non-removable battery and also supports Quick Charge 3.0.
BlackBerry launched its first Android device, the high-end Priv, in November last year and followed it with the much cheaper DTEK50 in July. The company last month wrote down $137 million of phone inventory and supply commitments.
There are over 1.43 million apps on the Google Play Store, and more than 500 billion downloads. And we already installed some of the popular Android apps without knowing the fact they just want to harm us.
Yes,there are some popular Android apps in Google Play Store which disguise themselves as your friend, but some of them are tracking you while others comes with a lot of bloatware or malware or ad-ware.
Today we are going to list 10 popular Android apps which you have to avoid. If you already installed these apps – uninstall now.
Popular Android web browser, no one can beat UC browser – because have many exclusive features. UC Browser is developed by Alibaba-owned UCWeb and it is the #1 Android web browser in China and India. The application is said to have more than 500 million users worldwide. It claims to have a “fast mode” that’ll save you MBs of data usage thanks to compression.
Why you have to avoid UC browser :
Recent reports shows that your favorite browser have some privacy issue, yes – they are spying on their users.
It’s found that the users’ search queries are sent without encryption to Yahoo India and Google and the browser’s AMAP component, an Alibaba mapping tool, sends device identifiers (IMSI, IMEI),Android ID,Wi-Fi MAC address and location data (cell tower data) to Umeng, an Alibaba analytics tool without encryption.
Better Alternative :
Chrome and Firefox are the obvious choices, but some people have worries about privacy concerns there too – because Chrome and Firefox are also sending users data to company server but unlike UC browser they are sending encrypted data.
2. DU Battery Saver & Fast Charge
A popular “battery-saving” app with an insane number of downloads. It has 7.6 million five-star reviews. Well, sorry, but all of those 7.6 million people are wrong.
Why you have to avoid DU Battery Saver :
Fast Charge? An app does not have the ability to change how fast your device charges. This is also the king of adverts – it sponsors almost every ad that you see in any other app and manifests its own ads on your lock screen and notifications bar. Also, all those fancy speed graphs and cool animations? Totally fake.
Better Alternative :
For proper battery saving, try the aforementioned Greenify.
3. Dolphin Web Browser
An ad-free, Flash-supporting, HTML 5 video-enabled browser. It’s got 150 million downloads and counting.
Why you have to avoid Dolphin Web Browser :
Like UC Browser, this is a tracking nightmare. Worst of all, it saves your incognito mode website visits in a file on your phone – go and check. Don’t believe the hype; delete it now.
Better Alternative :
As mentioned earlier, Chrome and Firefox are your two best options.
4. Photo Collage
A collage creator that boasts 120 different frames, addable text, and fun backgrounds.
Why you have to avoid Photo Collage :
Lots and lots of ads, the most annoying of which is the DU Quick Charge ad on the lock screen.
Better Alternative :
Once again, there are plenty of photo editors out there. Photoshop is great for heavy-duty work, or you could also try Google’s increasingly-impressive Snapseed.
A “junk file cleaner” that’s been installed 10 million times and has 85 percent four- or five-star reviews.
Why you have to avoid CLEAN it :
Most of what it advertises is detrimental to your phone. For example, clearing the cache will ultimately slow your phone down when it needs to be rebuilt, clearing your RAM only leads to more battery usage, and killing running apps does not save your battery as claimed.
Better Alternative :
Greenify is a much better option for reducing apps’ battery drain, and SD Maid is a more useful junk filter for ad files and logs, etc.
6. QuickPic
QuickPic used to be a friendly and easy-to-use photo gallery. It was never flashy, but clear communications and frequent updates saw it steadily grow a well-sized user base.
Why you have to avoid QuickPic :
It was bought by Cheetah Mobile last year. The company immediately started uploading users’ data to their own servers, as evidenced by one Google Plus user who found a raft of new DNS requests that were attributable to the app.
Better Alternative :
One alternative that’s been gathering pace recently is Piktures. It claims to be the first gesture-based gallery app and is completely ad-free.
7. Clean Master
Another insanely popular “speed booster, battery saver, and phone optimizer”. It has 600 million users and 26 million five-star reviews.
Why you have to avoid Clean Master :
Firstly, it’s made by Cheetah Mobile. We referred to them earlier – the company is renowned for packing ads, bloatware, and nag screens into their apps. Secondly, it doesn’t do anything useful; RAM-saving apps were valuable once upon a time and Android now has its own native handler for assigning RAM and ensuring it’s all being used in the most optimal way – in many cases, it even deliberately keeps RAM loaded to help performance.
Better Alternative :
Honestly, nothing. If you really insist, SD Maid is your friend.
Amazingly, it’s probably the most popular file explorer app out there. That’s because it used to be really, really good – five years ago.
Why you have to avoid ES File Explorer :
The free version has been pumped full of bloatware and ad-ware, and it endlessly nags you to download additional apps via non-disable-able notification bar pop-ups.
Better Alternative :
If you want an open-source offering turn to OI File Manager; if you’re more concerned with design try out FX File Explorer; or if customization is your thing, you can look to Total Commander.
9. Music Player with Ads
As implied, it’s an app that lets you play audio files saved on your device.
Why you have to avoid Music Player :
It has lots of ads, but more worryingly from a user standpoint, it eats through data plans and destroys your battery. People who’ve commented on its Google Play listing report gigabytes of data being consumed, as well as massive battery drain.
Better Alternative :
There are lots of ways to stream music on Android, while Google Play Music and Phonograph are both good ways to manage audio that’s already on your device.
10. Almost Every Anti-Virus Apps
There are loads to choose from; most of the well-known desktop anti-viruses now have a smartphone offering.
Why you have to avoid Anti-Virus Apps :
They aren’t bad per se, but they are largely unnecessary – that’s why the biggest names in the industry now market their apps’ anti-virus capabilities as part of a larger security package. There are a couple of caveats, however; if you install software from third-party sources (i.e., not the Google Play Store), or if you have a rooted device. Both these situations can open you up to malware that Google has no control over.
Better Alternative :
In this case, it’s not so much what you should install instead, but rather that you need to make sure you’re installing a full-fledged security package from a recognized provider. The apps from companies like Avast and Avira tend to offer additional features such as password-locked apps, remote device wiping, and call blockers.
So do not install these popular Android apps – even if they are the best in the market, don’t let them to track or hack you and only install content from well-known and well-trusted developers. And of course, if you see any suspicious activity after installing an app, delete it and its residual cache .
