Tips for Creating Secure & Strong Passwords

Information technology has brought profound change to human life. Different methods are applied for the security of resources. Generally passwords are the best means for providing access to the resources. Social Networking sites, Information sites, Helping sites, Shopping sites etc. uses password encryption system for users to prove their identity. Passwords can be any strings numbers etc .So the main problem these days with the users is that they forget their passwords. Somehow for easy remembrance they put familiar words like name of father, city , last name , cell number ,DOB etc .Yeah! they are easy to guess to hackers or easy to attack with simple tools.

Doing so is like locking the door and keeping key under the doormat!.So for the creation of secure password the following 7 points are kept on mind.

1. Never use your personal information 

Never put your Name Surname, last name , Fathers name, Cell no, DOB, Nick name or others types of details associated with you.

2. Combine different characters,letters,symbols &numbers

Put symbols like !, @, $ etc. in middle or in any portion of your passwords. Eg. "!tphob!@512"

3. Make case sensative

Combine your password with case sensitive like upper case(capital) and lower case(small).For Eg. "ItPhOb!A"

4.Never use words found in dictionary

First priority of hackers is dictionary attack i.e checking for password in dictionary file.So never choose a password included in normal dictionary.

5. Change your password frequently

Change password within every 30-40 days.

6. Put your password in short form 

Like "i love reading itphobia articles". So you can use "!lr!a".

7. Use password management tools

Give a try to password management tools .

Note: Never share your email address password with any one or never login your email address in others network or devices you might get catched with  keylogger. Resetting password with the email address is too much easy.

What will be the effect of opened browser tabs on battery life?

Last night ,I was researching about the no of tabs opened in browsers will effect the battery life or not? For this i visited different sites, blogs and found that i should't have to worry that much about the battery life when i open more tabs in my browser.So let me share you the effect caused by the opened tabs on your battery life.

 

Yes!! obviously it will take more charge with the more no of tabs in browser but that is almost negligible.
Wired researched practically in a mac running laptop OS x 10.8. with different browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari to figure out the effect of opened tabs on battery life and plotted a graph.


So from graph if you have 100 tabs open then your battery life will be shorten by 1 hours. But when the partial derivative of the time function with respect to n is taken, there should be decrease in battery life  per tabs. When you open new tabs on browser the power taken by the newer tabs is less than previous tabs.

Finally chance of opening 100 tabs in one browser once is nearly Zero. So we should not have to worry about the more opened tabs in browser will shorten the battery life.

Which Torrent File to Download : Bittorrent Guide


Bittorrent is just a popular way to share files freely. Torrent files are under the roof of peer to peer file distribution  system known as Bittorrent. They are used commonly used for sharing large number of files over the network with fast download speeds. The download speed of Torrent file depends upon the No of Seeders and No of Leechers.


Peers

The one who is responsible for upload and download of Torrent files.

Seeders

 The one who has complete copy of file being shared.

Seeding

Seeding is process to share files to downloading clients by the completed ones.

Leechers

 The one which do not have complete Shared file and is on  downloading phase in Network.

So following points should be kept on mind for high speed downloads and for appropriate file.
No of Seeders :- The more seeders you have more better to download files.
No of  Leechers:- Try downloading files with low no of leechers.
For example: If you have 500 Seeds and 3500 leechers that would be slow because that is similar to 1 seed 7 leech. So if you have more than 1 seed you can download file with multiple No of sources.

Comments: Readout the comments whether they are marked good or bad..if theres written "Not working", "Fake", "Not working anymore"etc or Negative Comments more than Positive Comments.Don't download that file simply try alternatives.

So Heres goes an example. I'm doing it from kickass.to ,here the arrow represents Comments , read comments of the downloaders, see leachers and seeders, from above Movie "The Frozen ground(2013)" has leachers 5049 and seders 8319. Seders are more than leachers and comparision ratio is also greater.So that movie has greatest download speed in above Movies torrents.


Finally the uploading of files doesnot affect your downloading your download speed in torrent network. So be Kind and leave the seeding process after completing download. The same file is being downloaded by another person.


There are many torrent sites for downloading torrent, popular are:-
1) http://kickass.to/
2)http://thepiratebay.sx/
3)http://isohunt.com/

Torrent File Downloading Applications
1)Utorrent
2)Bitcomit
3)Bittorrent
