			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Who has the best password manager?</h3>
<p>Cyber  attacks are on the rise in 2012. That is the prediction by many  security experts. Individuals, industries and agencies are all trying to  find safeguards that will reduce the risk of an attack. But what is the  best solution? Do you use Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), One Time  Passwords (OTP), Single Sign-On (SSO) or Password Management (PM)?  Before I, or anyone else can answer that you first need to understand  your environment, what are you protecting, what are the risks and who  else would have access.</p>
<p>No one solution works for everyone and  every environment. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. For  this discussion, let&rsquo;s just address Password Management. While I have  developed <a href="http://www.access-smart.com/solutions/" target="_blank">Power LogOn&reg;</a> to offer solutions to a number of issues, I also recognize that it may  not be entirely the best solution for everyone. So first off, if you are  using any type of password manager and generator you are ahead of most  internet users. Congratulations.</p>
<p>Instead  of doing a product, feature-by-feature comparison with the intention to  eliminate one product/competitor from another, I want to discuss some  topics you need to consider in picking any password manager.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Target Customer:</strong> Password manager solutions typically target two different customers &ndash;  Consumer and Industrial. While the basics of protecting passwords are  similar, the differences is how much customization is allowed,  integration into existing servers/networks and additional functions.</li>
<li><strong>Authentication:</strong> Security experts all say that the more ways one authenticates  themselves to the computer/network/site the better. The security  industry standardized on three types of authentications: Something you  have (card or token), something you know (PIN or Password), and  something you are (biometrics). Security is strengthened by  incorporating any two of the three types or using all three.&nbsp;A single  PIN or Password does not authenticate the user; it only authenticates  that a someone knows the secret but not the person. The tradeoff here is  also that the more levels of authentication the higher the security  costs.</li>
<li><strong>Password Storage:</strong> Reading all the  articles about the resent hacking attacks, the target has been the  password database. It does not matter how complex and unique your  password is if someone breaks into the database. Therefore, another  consideration has to be where passwords are stored (Hard Drive, Cloud or  Token). Here are some considerations:<br />
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><strong>File Encryption:</strong> Do you encrypt the password files or are you using a service&rsquo;s  encryption? Is there any concern that the encryption could have a  backdoor?</li>
<li><strong>Authentication Access:</strong> Does the product/service have single or multi- factor authentication?</li>
<li><strong>Files Access:</strong> Are the passwords stored on a sole computer, directory, cloud or token?  How do you access your passwords if you are on different machines? Can  someone else access your passwords/accounts it you are away from your  machine?</li>
<li><strong>File Encryption:</strong> Do you encrypt the  password files or are you using a service&rsquo;s encryption? Is there any  concern that the encryption could have a backdoor?</li>
<li><strong>Networks and clouds:</strong> Does an IT administrator have access, where are the passwords stored,  any back doors, what encryption is used, and how is authentication  established?</li>
<li><strong>False authentication lockout and recovery:</strong> Are there a limited number of authentication attempts before the  password file is locked. If it is locked, what is the recovery  processes? Will a &ldquo;brute&rdquo; force attack work?</li>
<li><strong>Token based storage security</strong>:  If you use a USB device, smartcard or even your smartphone what happens  if the device is lost or stolen? How do you recover your passwords?  Will others have access to your passwords if they find it?</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>Malware, Phishing, Virus protection:</strong> How does the password manager protect from phishing emails, keyloggers and viruses?</li>
<li><strong>Additional Application:</strong> Many industrial solutions can incorporate other features into the same  card. For example employee photo ID, building access control, electronic  payment, etc. How will you handle card issuance and management? Some  solutions require re-badging whereas others can work with the existing  field-issued badges.</li>
<li><strong>Customization:</strong> Does the  security solution require that your conform to it&rsquo;s default settings or  does the technology allow it to be changed per your security policies?</li>
<li><strong>Flexibility:</strong> Passwords are needed to log onto computers, networks, web sites and  applications. Does the password management solution have the flexibility  to address all these areas?</li>
<li><strong>Multiple platforms:</strong> Will the solution work with different operating systems (Windows,  Linux, Mac, Android, etc.) and with different browsers (IE, Firefox,  Safari, Chrome, etc.)? Does it matter in your environment?</li>
<li><strong>Price and cost-of-ownership:</strong> Are there any annual or subscription fees? Can licenses be transfers or  recycled? What additional hardware and computer modifications are  required? How long will it take to install? How much employee training  is required to use a product?</li>
</ol>
<p>While there are some pretty  shoddy products on the market, but when dealing with a name brand  solution you can rest assure that security and convenience is top notch.  Trying to determine if one technology or solution is better than  another is like comparing a Range Rover to a Bentley. It all depends on  where it is to be used. If your try to use the Bentley for climbing  mountain dirt roads and forging raging streams you might think that it  is the worst vehicle in the world. But if you are going to the Oscars&hellip;  well you decide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reverse phone lookup can help you find the owner of a phone number by simply entering the phone number in a search box. The system then searches all listings and retrieves the individual(s) who own the number. It is also be great for people who do not have the caller ID option and use *69 to find the number.</p>
<p>They can simply trace the caller and then lookup the owner online. You will receive the first name or initial and Last name as well as the address and location of the phone number. Usually the number must be a landline to find the owner. Although some search engines will let you know whether it is a landline or a cell phone. Finding the owner of a phone number can also help when threatening calls have been made, you can know direct the call to police who will find the person responsible.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you are searching for an unlisted number, you may run into problems as the search engine will not be able to find the person or business attached to the number. While this gives the consumer an advantage, some people prefer not to share their number. If the call involves a crime police have a way of finding out what you may not be able to.</p>
<p>In some instances you may come up with several owners of the same number but different area codes. Here you must pay careful attention to the area code preceding the number. Search engines often rely on the White Pages to collect their information so they could be out of date for up to a year until the new White Pages are released.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is many reasons why you might need to find the owner of a phone number. There is also some sites that will let you look up an address to find the owner and phone details. Perhaps you wrote down a number and address of an old friend and you find the piece of paper with it wrote down. You can simply log onto a Reverse Phone Lookup site and find out the owner.</p>
<p>Emergency Services such as 911 and the police may also use this in the event of a prank call to 911 or something as serious as a bomb threat. It is very useful and people may not know this is available for the police to use. Therefore the law can find the criminal before the crime.</p>
<p>Reverse searches enable quick and efficient information to be relayed to the individual. They can be great if the information given is correct. So, don&#8217;t wait. Try out any&nbsp;<a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/6/prweb8591834.htm" target="_blank">free cell phone number lookup</a> service and get rid of prank calls right now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lifehacker recently posted a great article called <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5880121/the-stupid-things-you-do-online-and-how-to-fix-them?utm_source=Lifehacker+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=908b92b731-UA-142218-1&amp;utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The Stupid Things You Do Online (and How to Fix Them)</a>. Here are some of additional comments that may also be helpful.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #1: You Undervalue Your Personal Data</strong></p>
<p>Did  you know that when a company goes through valuation by a venture  capitalist the number of email accounts is reviewed? So while you might  not value your information, corporate America does.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #2: You Submit Sensitive Information Over an Insecure Connection</strong></p>
<p>Besides  the https:// servers, users also have to have anti-malware protection  that blocks keylogger programs from capturing your credit card  information. Use an electronic wallet application that allows you to  input credit card information without typing it.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #3: You Feed the Trolls</strong></p>
<p>I can&rsquo;t add much more here.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #4: You Leave Private Information in Your Web Browser</strong></p>
<p>Sadly,  the number one group responsible for committing identity theft is  spouses. Other things to protect your accounts include: 1) not saving  passwords in the browser, 2) don&rsquo;t click those &ldquo;save my password&rdquo; boxes,  3) don&rsquo;t use the same password everywhere and 4) use complex passwords  that are changed periodically. I recommend a multi-factor password  manager that blocks family and friends from getting into your accounts  if they are on your computer.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #5: You Don&rsquo;t Keep a Backup of Online Data</strong></p>
<p>Also,  if you must backup data using online services, encrypt the data before  uploading. You don&rsquo;t know where your data is really being stored and if  there are any backdoors in the service&rsquo;s encryption algorithm. Remember,  if there is a security breach at the online service you are still  responsible and liable for compromising your customer&rsquo;s private  information.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #6: Assuming Your Posts and Comments Are Anonymous</strong></p>
<p>Unless  you are really skilled, McGee of NCIS fame will find you. Corporate  Human Resources department are looking more at a candidate&rsquo;s Facebook  account and less on a resume. So think first before you hit or click  that submission button.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #7: You Let People Track Your Whereabouts</strong></p>
<p>It  is fairly easy to track if a person is going to be home. Here&rsquo;s how: 1)  Pick your targets. 2) Send them informative emails and establish a  Twitter and Facebook relationship. 3) use the target&rsquo;s own Facebook  account to find other family members of your target. 4) Build a social  media relationship with those family members. 5) and sit back and wait  for that &ldquo;Out Of Office&rdquo; reply, check all of the social media for  comments from the family member and 80% of the time you will know when a  house will be vacant. So, maybe you want to tell your kids what and  when to place information on their fan page.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Thing #8: You Use an Insecure Password That You Rarely (or Never) Change</strong></p>
<p>This  is the topic closest to my heart and I have written many articles,  posts, a book and white papers on this topic. Please check out my <a href="http://access-smart.com/">website</a> for tips and topics about securing passwords. When picking any password  manager solution you need to also evaluate how the individual actually  authenticates themselves to the service. Also there is a big difference  between commercial and corporate password management products and  solutions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all the news articles about China hacking into American  companies, India breaking into the US Government, Wikileaks, data  breaches, cyber-attacks, Pentagon elevation that cyber-attacks could be  regarded as an act of war, etc., I thought I had better educate myself  and make the leap from identity theft protector to cyber warrior.</p>
<p>For  me, the best way to educate myself on critical events in my industry is  to start reading some of the latest books on the market. &ldquo;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Warfare-Techniques-Security-Practitioners/dp/1597496375/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1327682698&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Cyber Warfare: Techniques, Tactics and Tools for Security Practitioners</a>&rdquo;  by Jason Andress and Steve Winterfeld is one such book that I&nbsp; am  studying. It promises that &ldquo;the concepts discussed in this book will  give those involved in information security at all levels&nbsp; a better idea  of how cyber conflicts are carried out now, how they will change in the  future and how to detect and defend against espionage, hacktivism,  insider threats and non-state actors like organized criminals and  terrorists&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Even though I am very much a online security  professional, I wanted to approach this topic from a layman&rsquo;s  perspective and help develop some strategies that even the small  business owner or individual can easily understand and deploy to protect  their data.</p>
<p>I will be doing a series of posts that highlights  some lessons and thoughts I learned in each of the different chapters of  this book and bring out some key points the authors are making. I will  not be doing a Cliff Notes version of the book but rather give enough  insight to encourage you to also want to read the book and learn how to  protect your online presence.</p>
<p>In the Foreword a shocking statement  caught my eye that scared the holy pajesus out of me. It needs to be  the default text message whenever you start up any computer.</p>
<h3>&ldquo;Identity  theft is so commonplace it is no longer [considered] newsworthy. There  is just so much stolen data, [that] the criminals have not yet figured  out how to use it all. But they will.&rdquo; &ndash; Stephen Northcutt, President,  The SANS Technology Institute.</h3>
<h2><img class="alignright  wp-image-4135" style="float: right" src="http://www.access-smart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cyber-Warfare-Techniques-Tactics-and-Tools-for-Security-Practitioners.jpg" alt="Cyber Warfare Techniques Tactics and Tools for Security Practitioners  - Book review by Dovell Bonnett of Access Smart.com" width="240" height="297" />Chapter 1: What is Cyber Warfare?</h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Being  that the title of the book is Cyber Warfare, it would seem that a  standard, acceptable definition would be offered. However, that is not  the case. It seems that trying to come up with a definition for Cyber  Warfare is more difficult than imagined because there are no recognized  definitions for &ldquo;cyberspace&rdquo; or &ldquo;warfare&rdquo;. This conundrum makes me want  to paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart&rsquo;s original quote on  pornography and adjust it for this topic: &ldquo;I may not know how to define  Cyber Warfare; and perhaps I never will, but I know it when I see it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>How  I see it, &ldquo;Cyberspace&rdquo; is the theater of computer instructions (code)  and information (data). &ldquo;Warfare&rdquo; is the strategies and tactics of one  side using all available resources to achieve power and financial wealth  while the other side uses all their available resources to protect  their existing power and financial wealth. Cyber warfare is the control  of both code and data to achieve/defend power and financial wealth.</p>
<p>The  authors presented a very informative strategy and power comparison  section between physical versus virtual fronts and how they relate to  the Principles of War, the DIME factors and the types of national power.  The conclusion I drew was that century old strategies still need to be  kept in place; the weapons themselves will not be &ldquo;Weapons of Mass  Destruction&rdquo;, but rather &ldquo;<strong>Weapons of Mass Disruption</strong>&rdquo; to the civilian population, and that safeguards could morph into monitor and control.</p>
<p>Presidents  Bush and Obama both announced initiatives, directives, reports and  czars. However, very little headway has been made, especially when the  evening news reports another government agency hacked using malware  infused emails, the release of confidential documents, the hacking of  government smartcards, security protocols released and so on.&nbsp; And while  there may not be an actual Declaration of Cyber War there certainly  been enough probes, skirmishes and terrorists activities to elevate a  cyber DEFCON level to 3.</p>
<p>This first chapter set up some good  ground rules and understanding of the political problems from first  defining cyber warfare to managing it. It also raised questions in my  mind on whether a cyber-attack on the private versus public sectors can  also constitute as an act of war. How does one deal with Weapons of Mass  Disruption when imposed by a government onto its own people?&nbsp; If a  citizen within a country attacks another country, how will both  countries treat the incident? Is Cyber warfare the government&rsquo;s excuse  to implement a National ID? While these questions might be disturbing, I  am excited to read this book and find out if these concerns are  addressed.</p>

<p>It is the vision of every webmaster to deliver a website with great features, irrespective of the category of the website. There may be various reasons to set up a website such as for business purposes or personal use, but the focus should be on the goal of creating an impressive site. &nbsp;There are many web development companies in India which can provide you with a professional website. Here are some of the best tips provided by the topmost website development companies:</p>
<p>1. Navigation &ndash; An organized hierarchy of text links is a must on website. There should be a link to Home page from every other page. All the links should be arranged in a way not too clumsy and confusing for the visitors. It should allow them browse through each page easily.</p>
<p>2. Content &ndash; If you want to have a popular website in a long run, it should be information rich. This not only allow visitors to obtain relevant data from your website but an optimized content will also make your website well visible in search engine results.&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. Text and Graphics &ndash; These are the two important things that have to be utilized in an appropriate way. Website should not be filled with unwanted images because search robots cannot understand them. This does not mean that you should get rid of images in your site, since they are appealing to the visitors comparing with the texts. But you must know how to balance both.&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. Use Different browsers to test &ndash; Different browsers give different results as far as websites are concerned. What looks good on Internet Explorer may not look well for Mozilla. So you must your pages with every popular browser used online to ensure a more professional look for your site.&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Less is always more &#8211; If you have seen Google&rsquo;s website, you know what this means. Less byte means faster loading of web pages.&nbsp;</p>
<p>6. Broken links &ndash; We all know how irritating it is when &ldquo;Page cannot be displayed&rdquo; message appears on your computer screen.</p>
<p>7. Consistency &ndash; There should be consistency in your website design, but don&rsquo;t overdo with colours in your website. Having more colours involved in a single website can be confusing for the visitors. It is preferable to have a uniform colour for all the pages.</p>
<p>Being the web division of Aufait Technologies Pvt Ltd, which is one of the leading offshore web development companies in India that has its headquarters in Bangalore, India, Mindster promises powerful web development services.&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>The Smart Card Alliance offers platitudes but don&rsquo;t identify the culprits!</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4145" style="float: right" src="http://www.access-smart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/smartcardalliance.gif" alt="Smart Card Alliance Weakly Defends The Industry - by Dovell Bonnett" width="150" height="161" />The Smart Card Alliance released their weak response to the recent <a href="http://www.access-smart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Sykipot_trojan_statement_012412.pdf" target="_blank">Sykipot Tojan</a> attack which hijacked the Department of Defense authentication  smartcards. Unlike hypothetical attacks on smartcards (the Chinese  Remainder Theorem Attack comes to mind with the use of a microwave oven  and a calculator) this is a real threat to the security of one&rsquo;s network  and data but not so much to the smartcard itself.</p>
<p>The Sykipot Tojan is taking advantages of the flaws and lack of security in <strong>Adobe&rsquo;s PDF</strong> documents (zero-day attack) and Microsoft&rsquo;s Windows OS and anti-virus suppliers are not blocking infected attachments.</p>
<p>How  are these attacks happening? The attacker sends a phishing or spear  phishing email with a malware infected attachment to an unsuspecting  person or employee. The employee opens the attachment and launches the  attack. The malware is a keylogger that captures the PIN of the  smartcard, reads the user&rsquo;s certificates within Windows, and then allows  the attacker to use this information to log into unauthorized accounts.</p>
<h2>The Smart Card Alliance offers only simplistic security strategies.</h2>
<ol>
<li>Educate users on safe computer and email practices.</li>
<li>Maintain up-to-date anti-virus, -malware and &ndash;keylogger software.</li>
<li>Implement user analysis and network forensics tools.</li>
<li>Include multi-factor authentication (I thought that was the whole purpose of the smartcard)</li>
<li>Buy a PIN pad smartcard reader. (Expensive)</li>
<li>Hardening the authentication between user, keyboard, and smartcard. (That&rsquo;s what the OS is suppose to do)</li>
<li>Change  your card PIN and certificates (Note: changing certificates can wreak  havoc on documents, access rights, etc., that used the older  certificate. Plus, the attackers will still have access to the older  information.)</li>
</ol>
<p>This is baloney. These recommendations are  insulting at best, since it&rsquo;s Security 101. For the public  representatives of the smartcard industry to put out such namby pamby  platitudes and either refuse, or even understand how to address the real  culprits is an injustice to all of us in the smartcard industry who are  working to make data secure and user authentication reliable.</p>
<p>What  deeply concerns me about their response is that neither the smartcard  industry nor the PKI industry is at fault. Prevention and security is <strong>wrongly</strong> placed on the user. The fault actually lies with the insecure  applications (Adobe), the Operating System (Microsoft) and the network  security that don&rsquo;t detect corrupted files. The attack used was  unsophisticated and has been know and experienced for years. Why hasn&rsquo;t  the computer industry addressed these known threats?</p>
<h2>So here are my &ldquo;Key Elements of Security&rdquo;:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Scrap  Windows 8 and develop an entirely new operating system from the ground  up. Don&rsquo;t make it backward compatible with anything. Make security an  integral part of the design. Sure there will be the cost of new  applications and drivers but which is worst? The cost of upgrading or  the continuation of the multi-billion dollar identity theft loses which  can bring down our economy?</li>
<li>Block all Adobe PDF attachments until they fix their problem. No older PDF attachments will be allowed into any computer.</li>
<li>Cloud and network manufacture&rsquo;s products&nbsp;scan attachments for hidden files.</li>
<li>Charge  these companies $1 billion for every security patch they have to  release. Windows Patch Tuesday has been going on since Windows 98. Is  the Microsoft Management so keen on profits that building a trusted  system is of no real importance&nbsp; to them? If the U.S. Postal Service  needs a new campaign to get people to actually purchase stamps and other  postal products then remind every American that &ldquo;snail mail&rdquo; is not  affected by viruses and can&rsquo;t take down your computer or network.</li>
</ol>
<p>The  claim that the Common Access Card (CAC) has reduced network intrusion  by 46% when replacing passwords is also very misleading. It has reduced  the intrusion when you prevent the users from self-managing their  passwords.&nbsp; Time and time again we know that people will pick simple  passwords, use the same password everywhere and write passwords on  notes. Why? Because we can&rsquo;t remember that many of them. But if you  incorporate a smartcard-based, multi-factor authentication password  manager you will see similar intrusion reductions; and, at a fraction of  the cost and time. PKI is a great technology and it does some things  better than any other technology, but it is not appropriate for  everyone. So comparing CAC to self-managed passwords is disingenuous.</p>
<p>As  you can see, I am quite distressed and more than a little angry. Not at  the hackers, criminals or even the Chinese since they are doing their  job and doing it very well. But with the computer industry that allows  these attacks to continue. And at the Smart Card Alliance for not  identifying the true culprits and offering solid security  recommendations. The attack being waged was not sophisticated. So  instead of Microsoft, Adobe and others coming up with a new, &ldquo;pretty&rdquo;  interface, spend the money securing your software.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">A computer network, often simply reffered to as a network, is a collection of hardware components and computers interconnected by communication channels that allow sharing of resources and information. Where at least one process in one device is able to send/receive data to/from at least one process residing in a remote device, then the two devices are said to be in a network.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">Networks may be classifized according to a wide variety of characteristics such as the medium used to transport the data, communications protocol used, scale, topology, and organizational scope.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">Communications protocols define the rules and data formats for exchanging information in a computer network, and porovide the basis for network programming. Well-known communications protocols are Ethernet. a hardware and Link Layer standard that is ubiquitous in local area networks, and the Internet Protocol Suite, which defines a set of preotocols for internetworking, i.e. for data communication btween multiple networks, as well as host-to-host data transfer, and applicaytion-specific data transmission formats.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">Computer networking is sometimes considered as a sub-discipline of electrical engineering, telecommunication, computer science, information technology or computer engineering, since it relies upon the theoretical and practical application iof these disciplines.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">Computer networks can be classified according to the hardware and associated&nbsp; software technology that is used to interconnect the individual devices in the network, such as electrical cable, optical fibre, and radio waves.In the OSI model, these are located at levels 1 and 2.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">A well-known family of communication media is collectively known as Ethernet. It is defined by IEEE 802 and utilizes various standards and media that enable communication between devices. Wireless LAN technology is designed to connect devices without wiring. These devices use radio waves or infrared signals as a transmission medium.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size: medium">A communication protrocol defines the formats and rules for exchanging information via via a network and typically comprises a complete protocol suite which describes the protocols used at various usage levels. An&nbsp; interesting feature of communications protocols is that they may be &#8211; and in fact they are &#8211; stacked above each other, which means that one is used to carry the other. The example for this is HTTP running over TCP over IP over IEEE 802.11, there the second and third are members of the Internet Protocol Suite, while the last is a member of the Ethernet Protocol Suite. This is the stacking which exists between the wireless the router and the home user&#8217;s personal computer when surfing the World Wide Web.</span></p>
