How to find Whether you PC is Infected by DNSChanger malware ?

DNSChanger malware scam!!

by Mohan Gauns

In 2007 small group of cyber criminals distributed a malware called ‘DNSChanger’ which when installed would change the user's DNS settings to point to the criminals rogue DNS network. It redirects valid searches and URLs to malicious Web sites, attempt to steal personal information and generate illegal Ad revenue to criminals.

To combat this, FBI launched mission called ‘Operation Ghost Click’ which resulted in number of arrests. FBI provided list of infected servers to Internet Service Providers, and instead of shutting down the same they redirected infected servers to healthy DNS Servers. In January of this year, the German Federal Office for Information Security announced that the tamed DNS network would be shut down on March 8; however, it appears that the efforts to clear the DNS changer malware from the millions of infected PCs has taken a lot longer than expected with hundreds of thousands still being infected, according to the DNS Changer Working Group. Therefore, the closure of the rogue DNS network has been delayed for four months, and is now scheduled to be shut down on July 9, 2012. . This action means that many of the millions of computers that are still currently infected with the DNSChanger malware should now be receiving healthy DNS server activity even if the DNS server IP addresses on their systems are changed by the malware until July 9. If still malware is not removed then it might stop working after Due date.

3 TIPS TO CHOOSE A MEMORABLE WEBSITE ADDRESS

Few things are more important to a
company's online success than a
good domain name, otherwise
known as a web address. A
memorable domain name will help
your prospects and customers find,
learn about and interact with your
business on the web.
Here are some simple tips on how to
find a catchy domain name for your
website:
1. Shorter is Better -- The most
memorable domains tend to be
shorter than longer. A shorter
domain has fewer possible spellings
or interpretations and is easier to
memorize. For example, instead of
"affordablewebhostingprovider", we
decided to go with "webs."
2. Easy Spelling -- Choose a simple site
address that does not have a lot of
spelling variations. Domain names
are often passed around by
customers in verbal conversation.
Use only a few words to ensure the
correct information is passed
around. Also remember that you can
only use letters, numbers or a
hyphen. No special characters, like &,
# or $, are allowed in a domain
name.
3. Descriptive of the Company --
Website addresses should not be a
random name you pull out of a hat.
Your domain name should clearly
express what your company is about
and should reflect what you do.
Instead of simply looking for
something catchy, strive to pick a
domain that fits into and
complements your overall branding.
The most important tip -- don't wait
to get your domain. There's no
guarantee the one you want will
stay available

How to secure yourself from keyloggers?

A keylogger can be a device or piece of software. Either way, it is a very serious security concern to ones system critical information. Keyloggers, as the name suggests, are capable of monitoring your activities on your computer by logging every keystroke you enter and saving it into its memory for later retrieval and review by the person who installed it on your system.


Types of Keyloggers There are two basic types of keyloggers

– the hardware keylogger
A hardware keylogger is a device that is attached, usually to a keyboard, at the end of the PS2 or USB port and at the port and is attached to the computer port.

- the software keylogger.
The other type is the software keylogger. In other words, it is a type of computer program installed into a computer. Software keyloggers can not only monitor save the keystrokes that you type, it can also take screenshots of your computer, and copy the data you put in your clipboard.

How Keyloggers Work?
No matter what type of keylogger is used, their main objective is to monitor the activities done on the computer. It basically intercepts such activities it is programmed to monitor and saves it into a file for software keyloggers and into a dedicated memory device for hardware types.
Such data is later retrieved by the person who installed the device. For hardware versions, the physical removal of the device from the computer where its contents is downloaded into a computer for evaluation. For software loggers, the log file is either sent remotely to the person through email, FTP upload, through an IM messages, or by physical access by in that same computer.Keyloggers can be used as payloads from various types of malware. It can come with spyware, trojans, backdoors, and adware and automatically install themselves into a computer without the user's knowledge.

How to Get Rid of Keyloggers? Keyloggers, when used illegally, is considered as a form of malware that should be immediately. The best way to get rid of keyloggers is to use both updated antivirus and anti-spyware software (For spyware removal, read how to get rid of spyware).
Commercial security software like Norton Internet Security, Mcaffee Internet Security Suite, and Eset Internet Security are some good security suite software that are capable of removing keylogger software in your computer.Avoiding Keyloggers It is quite easy to avoid getting victimized by keyloggers. First step is to have your computer running updated versions of security software. Never download software from unsafe websites too. If you have to download software, go directly to the website and click the download button.
Avoid using public computers when logging into your email, online banking, or other secure online services. If you really have to, make sure you immediately change your password at home or at a secured computer.
If you suspect that the public computer you are using has a keylogger, try to “trick” it by typing all the consonants or certain characters of your password first then using the mouse to insert the vowels or other remaining characters of your password.

TOP 5 SEARCH ENGINES FOR STUDENTS

Google has become synonymous with search and its useful results.
But who knows better than a student, how many times Google has failed to produce the desired results in the effective way. You are looking for a well researched article on High Strength Steel for your project and all you get by ‘googling’ all around the web is a Wikipedia link you can’t rely on. You need an eBook for one of your engineering subjects, and what you get is a link to Google books with some sample chapters and some notes. These are just a few of the frustrating experience a student goes through when in need.No doubt problem is solved but
the time consumed in the precise search is far more.
So if Google can’t provide you with the relevant result, does that mean there is no such information on the web? Well there is. All you need is the right search engine to retrieve it for you.

Here is a list of a few of such search engines.

1) EBook Engine : This is ultimate resource to find free e-books. The website claims that “If your e-book isn’t here, then it is likely you cannot download for free anywhere.”

2) Pdf Geni : This is yet another wonderful search engines for ebooks. You can download a firefox search plugin to use it directly from your browser. The search engine is also compatible with iphone.

3) Wolfram Alpha: It is a “computational knowledge engine which aims to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone.” You’ll find it useful for complex math problems. And what’s more, you can download its mobile application to solve your problems on the go.

4) DeepWebTech: If you are looking for some serious articles related to science, business, medical or technology this is the place to go to. It searches for these articles from the “deep web”- the part of the internet that is not crawled by normal search engines like Google. DeepWebTech gets results from the databases of recognized institutes and organizations across the world, something which Google can’t do.
A suggestion- use this if you need in depth information, such as for your engineering project etc.

5) DeepPeep: This is another search engine working on the same lines as deepwebtech. You can get articles from the database of renowned institutes like MIT.

Armed with these search engines, you will easily get through all your college reports and projects. And will stay a step ahead of your peers.

Install/ Boot Windows from USB Pen Drive/ Thumb, Flash Drive in easy steps

Normally, Windows is installed using optical media like DVDs and CD's but there are times when it is not possible to boot into the windows setup using disks probably because your DVD drive is not
working or not installed working or, if you are using one of those ultra-portable laptops, it is not there at all.
But, to overcome this problem, one can either use external disks and install windows normally or create a bootable pen drive (flash drive) to install Windows on the go


Steps to create a Bootable USB Flash Drive/ Pen Drive

A welcome screen like one in the image below will show up.

<<5>> NOW Click on the big green tick. The welcome screen will turn translucent and WinToFlash wizard will open.

OK NOW WE MOVE ON TO NEXT
<<6>>Click Next. On Windows File path entry, click Select button and select the location of your Windows disk, or the folder containing the Windows setup files and click OK.
<<7>>On USB Drive path entry, select your USB flash drive's location and click OK.
<<8>>Click Next button. In the dialog box, encircle I accepted the license agreement and click Continue.
<<9>>A warning message will be displayed saying that Formatting will erase all data on the disk. <<10>>Click OK in the message.
WintoFlash will show a Windows with a progress bar like one in the image below.

<<11>>After the progress bar reaches the end, press Next and then press Exit. A notification to update WintoFlash might be shown, click No just close to close it.

Where A Proxy Server Is Configured

Most people know how to configure their LAN settings – it’s one of the first things you should check if you’re ever having Internet connection problems. Typically you want your proxy settings to be set to “Automatically detect settings” when you’re at home or at a public hotspot.

However, at work, you’ll need to set up a proxy server. You do this within “Internet Properties” in the control panel by clicking on the “LAN settings” button.

Inside your network settings dialog, you’ll see the two settings – you either have a proxy server enabled or you don’t. This is the setting that you want to toggle when you switch from your home network to a work network, or if you want to switch to running under a “cloaked” anonymous IP server.

You can also find these settings in your registry (click Run and type “regedit“), and this is what you want your scripts to edit. By changing the registry settings, you’re essentially changing those settings in the LAN Settings window.What we really want to do is toggle those settings only when and where you really want to. There are three scenarios that I’m going to cover, and you can copy and paste the code to tweak it to your liking. You can put the script in your startup folder so that it launches whenever you boot your computer, or you can just run the scripts whenever you want your computer to automatically set the correct IP settings.

The three scenarios I’m going to provide scripts for include the following.

Prompt the user whether or not they want to use an anonymous proxy for Internet access.
Prompt the user to type in the name of the proxy server they want to use.
Automatically check whether you’re home or not, and set the appropriate proxy server settings.
The cool thing about Windows Scripting Host is that each of these options aren’t that hard to do.

HOW TO BYPASS RESTRICTED OR BLOCKED WEBSITES

How to access blocked websites like Facebook, youtube,ibibo,Bebo,orkut..etc at school or office?

This article suggests workarounds to help you unblock access to restricted websites at universities, school and offices.


Blocking access to undesirable Web sites has been a common government tactic but China, Iran, Saudi Arabia are believed to extend greater censorship over the net than any other country in the world.believe it!

Most of the blocked or blacklisted sites in Saudi Arabia are about sex, religion, women, health, politics and pop culture. They even block access to websites that sell swimming or bathing suits.so look at the height of blockage!

Social sites that are often blocked include Google News, Typepad, ebay, Blogger blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Orkut, MySpace, Pandora, Bebo, Photobucket, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL AIM, Flickr. often to restrict you to entaitainment or fun

so here are some tips to bypass the blocked websites::

1: To access blocked website, type the IP number instead of the URL in the browser address bar. However, if your blocking software maps the IP address to the web server (reverse DNS lookup), the website will still remain blocked.


2: Use a URL redirection service like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com. These domain forwarding services sometimes work as the address in the the url box remain the redirect url and do not change to the banned site. (most common)

Access Google Talk Chat or GMail in Office

3: Use Google Mobile Search - Google display the normal HTML pages as if you are viewing them on a mobile phone. During the translation, Google removes the javascript content and CSS scripts and breaks a longer page into several smaller pages. Google Mobile

Use Mobile browsers as proxy to open restricted websites

4: Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google's cache, click "Cached Text Only" while the browser is loading the page from cache.

5: There are anonymizer websites who will fetch the blocked web page from their servers and display them to you. As far as the service provider is concerned, you are viewing the page on the Anonymizer website and not the blocked site.

6: You can access blocked or restricted websites by using Yahoo Babelfish or Google Translate language tools as a proxy server.



You just have to invoke the Google translate service with the same language pair like English to English. Assuming that Google is accessible in your school, you should be able to access any website with this method - Babelfish Proxy Sever


Unblock restricted websites that require login

7: Anonymous Surfing - Browse the internet via free proxy server. A proxy server (or proxies) is a normal computer that hides the identity of computers on its network from the Internet.

Which means that only the address of the proxy server is visible to the world and not of those computers that are using it to browse the Internet. Just visit any proxy server with your Web browser and enter a URL or the address of the blocked website.

virtual private server (VPS) or virtual dedicated server (VDS)

A virtual private server (VPS), also called a virtual dedicated server (VDS), is a virtual server that appears to the user as a dedicated server but is actually installed on a computer serving multiple Web sites. A single computer can have several VPSs, each one with its own operating system

(OS) that runs the hosting software for a particular user.

The VPS alternative is often chosen by small businesses that need a customized Web site but cannot afford a dedicated server. Another useful aspect of VPS technology is the ability of a single subscriber to maintain multiple virtual servers. For example a Web site owner might use one server for the production-level Web site and the other for a "dummy site" that can be used to test planned updates, modifications or new programs.

(OS) that runs the hosting software for a particular user.

The hosting software for each VPS can include a Web server program, a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program, a mail server program and specialized applications for activities such as e-commerce and blogging.

EFFECTIVE WEB DEVELOPMENT

Web Design Tips While designing web
sites it is important to
keep in the mind the
platform, popularly
used web browsers and
of course the users. One more important
element of website
design is search engines
compatibility, since
eventually the search
engines will index the site to present it to the
users in a search. How
much the search
engines give
importance to your
website depends a lot on the how the website
is designed.
These tips will help web
designers to justify
what is stated above.

1) Use colors carefully
such that they are
brand appropriate or
do justice to whatever
the site is providing.
This applies to the text, text fonts, background
and the content.


2) Use tag lines, which
highlight the essential
features of the site and
catch the attention of
the readers, since
visitors do not read the text fully. Set your
content in proper
paragraphs and
columns for increased
readability and good looks.


3) Avoid Flash and client
side scripts on main
pages. Do not use
FRAMES since search
engines find it difficult
to index pages using the above technologies
for forums no need to use high graphics content.

4) Use high-resolution
graphics which are light
in weight for faster
downloading(use light weight only ). The
images should add to
the content and help in describing the sites
resources and services.
(for effective website)
The images should be
appropriately placed on
the web pages. Use alt
text to describe the images properly for
photo optimization.

5) For search engine
optimization use
descriptive title and
meat tags since the
search engine use these
to some extent to index and rank your
website(exceptional).


6) Avoid using gate
away or doorway
pages which lead to the
main page this is
spamming and your
website may be banned by major search
engines. Do not resort
to cloaking and over
use of keywords(to give better understanding).

7) Most important do
not copy content from
other websites to avoid
facing duplicate content
penalty. This was the
practice widely resorted to earlier. It is
wiser to have a content
writer in the web
development team.
