How hackers hack Facebook Account And How to Stop it !!!!!


Facebook is the most popular social Networking Site where 1.65 billion monthly Active Users Due to its popularity, many hackers
are actively involved in hacking Facebook accounts of unsuspecting users. This article outlines the many strategies that such hackers use to gain access to Facebook accounts of hundreds of users each day and how you can stop them from hacking your account.




Email Address Hack :-

 

I have always been puzzled by facebook leniency in this matter. All a hacker needs to do is know your name and he will be conveniently shown your email address at your profile. How easily a hacker can then hack your Facebook account (and everything else associated with that email id).

 if he guesses your password (if you use a weak password) or answers your security question! This is something I hope Facebook improves on quickly. Until Facebook does so, here are some tricks you can use to protect yourself from this vulnerability.

 

How to safeguard your Email Address?

just follow these steps :-

 

1) Hide your Email Address from everyone by going to Edit Profile>Contact Information>Clicking on the icon beside your email address> checking 'Only Me'.

2) Change your primary email address to a one that is only known to you by going to Account Settings>Email> and changing your primary email to the new one (known only to you) and removing your previous email address.

3) For additional security, when in Account Settings, check 'Secure browsing' and 'Send me an email when a new computer or mobile device logs into this account' and click Save.

HACKERS AT WORK

 Phishing :-

 

Phishing is one of the easiest ways to trick users into giving out their login credentials. All a hacker does is setup a webpage similar in design to that of the Facebook homepage, attach a server sided script to track the username and password entered and store it in a log. Sending people emails stating that someone tagged a photo of them on Facebook in the same format as Facebook and giving a link below to the phishing website further reduces the chances of it being detected as a fake. Sometimes, spam Facebook apps, like those promising to tell who viewed your Facebook profile, automatically post links to phishing websites. A new trend amongst phishers is creating Facebook look-a-like widgets for stealing user's login credentials.

 

How to prevent yourself from being phished? 

 

At all costs, avoid clicking on suspicious links. Moreover, always check the URL in the address bar before signing in. Avoid logging in through various "Facebook widgets" offered by websites and blogs. Instead, use Facebook's homepage to sign in. Always try to use Safe Search while searching. If you do manage to get phished, report the website so that others may get a warning before visiting it.

 

Keylogging through Keyloggers :-

 

Keylogger is a type of computer virus that tracks key strokes. Keyloggers can be installed remotely on a computer system by a cracker to record all the activity that is going on the victim's computer. Keylogging gets more easy if the hacker has physical access to the victim's computer.

 
 

How to stop keyloggers?

 

install a good antivirus and update it frequently. Do not click on suspicious links and avoid downloading illegal software. Also, avoid installing free toolbars and other such spam software. Always scan third-person's flash and pen drives before using them on your computer.

 

Social Engineering :-

 

Social engineering involves using any trick to fool the user into making himself vulnerable to exploits. This could involve anything from sending spoof emails, pretending to be from Facebook, telling you to change your password to 12345678 to a hacker maliciously getting out the answer to your security question in a friendly chat or discussion.

 


How to prevent yourself from being socially engineered?

 

Stay aware during chats and discussions. Use a tough security question, preferably one whose answer you would never disclose to anyone. Moreover, Facebook, or any other company for that matter, will never ask you to change your password to 12345678 or do something as silly as asking you to send out your login details to prove that you are an active user. Always think before taking actions and your e-life on Facebook will be safe from hackers looking to hack Facebook accounts.

Connect a Laptop And Desktop Computer to a TV Easily




Suppose you wish to watch a movie or share a slide-show of pictures with your family on your PC but have a screen that leaves much to be desired.

In such a situation, you can connect your computer to a television screen to allow your entire family to enjoy comfortably.

The first step is to know what type of ports and connections your TV and computer have. If you already know the type of ports and connections available on your hardware,

you can directly jump to Step 2 . If not, then the different types of ports are explained in detail below :-




                      Different types of PC to TV connection ports

1) RCA/Composite : The oldest and the lowest quality connection available. They are the Yellow, Red and White connections most of us are familiar with. Yellow is used for composite video, white for left analog audio and red for right analog audio.

2) S-Video : S-Video or Super Video offers slightly better quality than Composite connections.
As it is one of the oldest type of connections available, most televisions and computers have it.
There are two types of S-Video ports, one containing 4 pins and the other containing 7 pins. This type of connection is used only for video.
So you will need to connect an audio cable from your computer's headphone jack to the red and white audio inputs on your TV if you want audio to work.

3) VGA (Video Graphics Array) : Most computers and televisions have a VGA port.
It offers much better quality than S-Video and should be preferred if you have a HDTV. Older CRT TVs however, will not have a VGA port and will require a PC to Television converter. Just like S-Video, VGA also does not support audio and will require an additional audio cable.




        Different types of connecting cables to connect computers to TVs

4) DVI : Digital Video Interface offers much better quality than VGA connections.
Most laptop computers and HD TVs will have these connections. Just as the name suggest, this type of connection can be used only with digital TVs. Also like the previous two, DVI connections also require the use of an audio cable for audio to work.

5) HDMI : The highest quality connections available. Most HD TVs will have this connection, however, chances are that your computer would not. 
If your computer happens to have a HDMI connection port, this should be preferably used. If your computer doesn't, you can use an HDMI to DVI adapter to convert HDMI to DVI.


Step 2 :- 

Once a common type of port between the two devices is recognized, you will need the right connector cable to physically connect them. 
The different types of connector cables are pictured above. If you do not find two matching types of connection ports, you will need an adapter to make the connections type match.


Step 3 :-

After connecting the two devices, on your TV, select the external input with which your TV is connected to the computer. 
It may be HDMI1 or AV1 depending on how you have made the connection. This is much similar to how you select input from your DVD player.

   **If you have followed the steps correctly, your TV should now be displaying your computer's screen.**

PC Security Tips@Make your Computer Secure

Here are some tips which will enable you to make your PC more secure.

Anti-virus

1. Never, ever turn off the resident protection of your antivirus even if it decreases performance. Upgrade if necessary.

2. Keep your virus definitions up-to-date. Use the automatic update feature of your anti-virus and try not to ignore the "Do you want to update now" message however often it might pop up.

3. Even if you update regularly and you have not seen any suspicious activity on your PC, do a deep scan at least once a month.

4. Always create an emergency boot disk and keep it in a safe place.


5. Run a deep scan in safe mode at least once every two months to kill viruses that would otherwise remain hidden.





Firewalls

1. If you are unsure about the alert displayed by your firewall, try searching it on the internet.


2. A firewall is a powerful tool that requires an understanding of how the program works and exactly what it is doing and whether it is secure or not. Reading the help files is extremely important in successful configuration of your firewall.

3. If you are running a third party firewall,be sure to turn off the Windows Firewall.

4. You can temporarily disable a firewall by right clicking the icon in the tray. This is handy when you know a site is one you can trust but your firewall is blocking it. But remember to re-enable it as soon as possible.

5. Read firewall notices carefully when they pop up so that you don't let a bad thing in or prevent good traffic.


Anti-Spyware


1. You should regularly check for updates. Enable the automatic update feature.

2. Remember to do a scan every now and then, or schedule scans if your program allows it. If you don't want to sit that long for scans to complete, use a single folder for all your downloads, then scan only that folder, Windows installation folder and the Registry. Alternately, you can do a quick scan if your program allows it.



Anti-Spam


1. Be patient with anti-spam software, it will get better over time.

2. Even if it looks that your anti-spam software is working great, periodically check the 'Spam' folder for good mail. None of the anti-spam software is perfect right now.

3. Don't give your anti-spam software too much rules, because it will not learn anything then. It is better if it learns on its own.

How to Unblock Websites at School , Work , Home or Anywhere


There Are soo many method to unblock the any website first we know which website is blocked 

Which websites are most commonly Blocked ?

The most commonly blocked websites include websites about pop culture, health, medicine, women, religion and politics.
Social websites are also often blocked and include the likes of Facebook , Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, porn website, Digg, Hulu, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Blogger, MySpace, skype, Flickr, Yahoo! Messenger, youtube, StumbleUpon and Delicious. 
Sites like Google News, Wikipedia, Wikileaks and eBay are also blocked at certain places.

Access Blocked Websites at School, Work or Anywhere


below are the ways you can use to regain access to the blocked website you wish to visit !!!!




1) Cache method : -  Most search engines maintain a cache of web pages indexed by them. You can search for a website on Google , Yahoo! or Bing and click on the cached link that is given next to the result. To load the web pages more quickly, you can visit the text-only version. Since the website is provided from the search engine's servers, it can be used to overcome IP address and URL based filtering.

2)  Using Google Mobile Search : -  For users browsing on a slow mobile internet connection, Google Mobile search removes all CSS styling and JavaScript to present a stripped down version of the web page from Google's own server. 
As the content is provided from Google's servers, the blocking software feels that you are visiting Google, whereas in reality, you are viewing the blocked website.
Go to Google Mobile Search . To visit the website of your choice, just replace tweakandtrick.com in the URL with the address of the website. 
Despite the name, Google Mobile Search can be accessed from your PC as well.

3) Access blocked websites with Google Translate : - You can use translation service from Google to visit blocked websites .
To do so , enter a language different from the website's language in the 'From' field and English in the "To" field. You can also use this method to bypass software that block websites on the basis of specific keyword mentions.
Just translate the URL you wish to visit in a different language to overcome the keyword block .

4) Create a 2 layered unblocker :-  Go to Google Translate, open any proxy website inside it and then use that proxy website to access your blocked website. In this way, you can achieve two layered website unblocking .

5) Use RSS Readers for accessing restricted blogs :- All blogs syndicate their content via RSS feeds which you can subscribe to in web based RSS readers like Feedly to access blocked content. For example, the RSS feed of this blog is located at http://feeds.tweakandtrick.com/tweakandtrick .

6) Nyud.net :-  To unblock blocked websites, just add nyud.net to their URL. For example, if this blog (www.kumarsoft001.blogspot.in) is blocked, you can visit it by going to www.kumarsoft001.blogspot.in.nyud.net .

7) TOR :- tor or The Onion Router is a free software that protects the privacy and security of its users by channeling data through multiple nodes so as to prevent the original data from being unscrambled.
Although browsing through TOR is a bit slow, it is one of the most effective ways of bypassing restricted websites and protecting your privacy.

8) VPN software : - VPN or Virtual Private Network software can be described as a tunnel under the public network that offers more anonymity than proxy websites as it also encrypts the data transferred by the blocked website thus, offering complete anonymity.
Although most VPN software are available as paid software only, HotSpotShield is a popular free alternative.

9) IP hiding software :-  Sometimes, websites block users on a particular IP address from visiting themselves.
In such cases, free IP hiding software like UltraSurf can be used to visit them. While free software offer very less features as compared to paid ones, they are still effective for overcoming most common blocks.

10) Changing DNS servers :- A common way of blocking websites is preventing DNS servers from giving the locations of the blocked website's servers.
In such a scenario, changing your DNS servers to those of OpenDNS or 
Google DNS will be your best option to get over the block.
As an additional advantage, this can also increase your internet speed .
