Lg knock codeport

By : Unknown
What if instead of launching applications using gestures, you’d like to use gestures to secure your device? LG offers such functionality through the Knock Code security system found on their newer handsets. But thanks to XDA Recognized Developer MohammadAG and the magic of Xposed Framework, you can use it on your device as well.
Secure Your Device with a Knock Code Using Xposed
There are a few caveats with this implementation. For starters, rather than being able to enter your knock code while the device is off, you first have to power on your screen, after which you can input the code. In addition, the module is currently only compatible with Android 4.4, but compatibility will be added for 4.2 and 4.3 very soon. Finally, while using a knock code is fairly convenient, this is not a very secure method of locking your device. This is because due to a limitation in Xposed, the file where the code is stored is world-readable. Furthermore, this essentially functions as a 2×2 PIN password, which itself isn’t very difficult to break. If you wish to get Knock On-style functionality on your own device, head over to the module thread and give this a shot.

Alleged Amazon smartphone to reportedly come with tilt gesture support

Alleged Amazon smartphone to reportedly come with tilt gesture support

 
amazon_smartphone_leak_bgr.jpg

We have already seen the first alleged glimpse of Amazon's upcoming smartphone's prototype - one of the two rumoured devices that the online retail giant is said to have been working on for more than a year.Now, a new leak tips that the alleged Amazon smartphone, much like the company's Kindle tablet range, will run a highly customised Android OS and will also support tilt gestures for interacting with various apps.
BGR, citing some of its sources, claims that the alleged Amazon smartphone will make use of a combination of cameras, sensors and software for interacting with the device. Further, the report notes that the combination will make use of a number of 3D effects on the Amazon smartphone.
As reported earlier, the prototype high-end model of the rumoured Amazon smartphone is said to sport a total of six cameras: one at the rear, one at the top-front panel, while four are placed on four corners on the front. The report also suggested that the four camera units are low-power infrared cameras that would work with other sensors on the Amazon smartphone for the 3D effects on the screen.
BGR also claims that the Internet retailer will introduce new gesture controls on its first smartphone, such as tilt in different directions while the device is being used to display additional details on the display without even touching the screen.
The report further details some of the gesture functions in the yet-to-be-named Amazon smartphone, like if a user performs tilt gesture after searching a place in the maps app, Yelp ratings will appear for various results on the searched place's map.
Another tilt gesture function is said to be used in Amazon's video store, which is likely to show IMDb ratings on top of movie thumbnails.
In addition, apart from sensors and multiple gesture functions, the alleged Amazon smartphone is said to come with optical character recognition (OCR) and other technology which will automatically recognise text and convert it to a digital note if a user captures image of signs and other real-life objects with printed text using the device's primary rear camera.
An earlier leak had tipped that the e-commerce giant has been working with third-party developers to build apps for its 3D interface. Another report had suggested that Amazon has been preparing to launch its long-rumoured smartphone in the second half of the year, citing people briefed on the company's plans.

First Paid Fake Android Antivirus App Downloaded 10,000 times from Google Play Store

First Paid Fake Android Antivirus App Downloaded 10,000 times from Google Play Store


VIRUS SHIELD GOOGLE PLAY STORE
Well, we all are very conscious, when it comes to the security of our personal information, security of our financial data and security of everything related to us. In the world of Smart devices where our Smartphones knows more than we know ourselves.
To keep our device protected from harmful viruses, malware or spyware, we totally depend on various security products such as antivirus, firewall and privacy guard apps, that we typically install from some trusted sources, Google Play Store. Most Antivirus apps are available to download for free, but some of them are paid with extra premium features like advance firewall protection, anti theft, App Locker or Cloud Backup etc.
But do you believe that just because you're downloading an application from an official app store and also if its a premium paid version, you're safe from malicious software? Think twice.

PAID, BUT FAKE ANTIVIRUS APP
In Past, Mobile Security Researchers had spotted numerous fake mobile antivirus scanners that were available for free download at Google's Play marketplace, but its the first time when a cyber criminals are offering a fake, but paid Antivirus Solution called ‘Virus Shield’ for your Android device at Google’s play store.
Virus Shield masquerade itself as an antivirus that claims to "protect you and your personal information from harmful viruses, malware, and spyware" and also "Improve the speed of your phone," which it does with just a click. 
Moreover, it claims to have least effect on battery, run in the background, and in addition it also acts as adblock software that will stop those "pesky advertisements," which we deal every day.
MORE THAN $40,000 FRAUD AT GOOGLE PLAY STORE
Virus Shield antivirus app costs $3.99, and has been on the Google Play Store for just over a week and has already been successfully downloaded more than 10,000 times by Smartphones users with a 4.7 star review from 1,700 people, that means total amount received by developer is more than $40,000.
Even 2,607 users had hit the Google "recommend" button, which means that the antivirus app must be doing great to users who look for trusted and efficient antivirus app to secure their devices.
WHAT A SCANNER - VIRUS SHIELD 
Surely it doesn't scan or detect anything. Android Police has discovered that the app only changes a red "X" graphic to a red "check" graphic, that’s it, nothing less or more. 
fake antivirus app
The virus shield antivirus app is a total scam and it doesn't scan or secure your device, which means thousands of users have been scammed out of their money.
When the creator (email : Jesse_Carter@live.com) tracked down by the investigators, it revealed that the creator was a well known scammer who was also accused and banned from forums for trying to scam people out of various low-valued online game items. 
You can check out the code for yourself from here, as the android police have decompiled the app and mirrored the java code on GitHub.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
There is no such way to protect you from these kinds of fraudsters. All you can do is report the Virus Shield via the Play Store app by listing the app’s "flag as inappropriate," then tap "other objection" and write about the app’s fraud to users. Alternatively, you can report it on the web. Users are advised to only download applications from known and trusted publishers

How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger

How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger

How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger
In this Internet savvy generation, we want all of our data to be secured at some place. Having backups of your data is always a good idea, whether that data is stored in the Cloud or on your computer.

But everyone who is following the Edward Snowden leaks of the NSA's PRISM program now pushed to hardening their Mobile devices and computers for security, privacy, and anonymity.

There are many Free Cloud storage providers including Google DriveDropbox, Box, RapidShare, Amazon Cloud Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive and many more. These services have a limitation that all data is unencrypted, or even if it is encrypted, the encryption keys are still generated by the company's software, meaning the company still has an access to your data.

So as an end user, we must think about the security and privacy of our data. We should first encrypt our files on the system level and then upload a copy of it on the cloud storage.

For this a robust and highly user friendly tool called CloudFogger is available at free of cost and for using it you even need not to be a GEEK. It provides encryption of 256 bit AES for your files.

Easy to Install and Easy to use: Follow the steps to crypt your files using CloudFogger:

Step-1: Download and Install CloudFogger from its website. Open and create an account first:
How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger
Step-2: Select the folder you are using for syncing with cloud storage (Google Drive, Sky Drive, and Dropox etc.)
How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger
Step-3: Now you just need to drop your files into that folder. A Small Green overlay-symbol will appear on your files, i.e. Your files are now encrypted and ready to upload/sync with your Cloud storage account. That's it!
How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger
The New file extension for all encrypted files will be ".cfog", that can be accessed only if decrypted using your own CloudFogger keys.

You can also encrypt documents manually, just by right clicking it, select cloudfogger->Fogg file(s) and you can access the file yourself using a virtual drive created by cloudfogger without decrypting each file.

This client-side encryption ensures that nobody will be able to access your protected documents and files without your password. RSA private keys are stored on the Cloudfogger server to allow convenient installation of the product on several devices, but all keys are again encrypted with 256 bit AES based on the user's password and the company claims that user passwords will be never ever transmitted to their Cloudfogger servers.
How to encrypt your files before uploading to Cloud Storage using CloudFogger
Each file uses its own, unique AES key, that allows sharing files with different people, so you can add the email addresses of your friends, if you want them to allow decrypt your private document, image or etc.

For most users, finding a truly protected Cloud service can be a challenge, as many services obviously have security gaps that leave data wide open to third party attacks, leaks, or hacking.

CloudFogger is an application available for Windows, Mac, Andoird, iOS. There are many more similar tools and services that are available i.e. SpiderOak, Mozy, Carbonite, IDrive or BoxCryptor and many more.

However, CloudFogger is not an open source software, so there is an alternate available called "CryptSync", which is an open source tool for encrypting the files before uploading to cloud server and it also does not store your files on the developer’s server like CloudFogger.

This way, even if programs like NSA's PRISM continue to stand unchallenged, people can rest easy knowing that their data is truly protected.

'123456' giving tough competition to 'password' in Worst 25 Passwords of 2013

'123456' giving tough competition to 'password' in Worst 25 Passwords of 2013


Worst Passwords
123456, password, 12345678, qwerty… or abc123, How many of you have your password one of these??? I think quite a many of you.
Even after countless warnings and advices given to the users by many security researchers, people are continuously using a weak strength of password chains.
After observing many cyber attacks in 2013, we have seen many incidents where an attacker can predict or brute-force your passwords very easily.
From 2012, the only change till now is that the string “password” has shifted to the second place in a list of the most commonly used passphrases and string “123456” has taken the first place recently, according to an annual "Worst Passwords" report released by SplashData, a password management software company
They announced the annual list of 25 most common passwords i.e. Obviously the worst password that found on the Internet. The Most common lists of the passwords this year are "qwerty," "abc123," "111111," and "iloveyou", which are really easily guessable.
"Another interesting aspect of this year's list is that most short numerical passwords showed up even though websites are starting to enforce stronger password policies," says Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData.
Below are the worst passwords list of 2013 with Rank and showing the comparison of it from 2012:
List of Worst Passwords 
If you are also using one of these passwords or other dictionary words, then you are advised to change it as soon as possible. We further advise you to use different passwords for different accounts, as if one of your account gets hacked, you’ll be totally ruined.
The above list of passwords was compiled from data dumps of stolen passwords posted online, and the firm says it was especially influenced by the millions of Adobe accounts that were compromised in the fall.
Fact & figure
Stricture Consulting Group attempted to decrypt the leaked Adobe passwords and released an estimate that almost 2 million of the more than 130 million users affected by the breach appeared to be using "123456" as a password.
Now when you talk about various security measures to protect your privacy and data, installing an Antivirus doesn’t mean that here your work gets over and you are safe enough. “God helps those who help themselves” likewise nobody can secure your privacy unless and until you yourself not willing to.
Here I have listed some useful tips to make your password strength secure and easier to remember:
  • Use a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special characters of 8 characters long or more like s9%w^8@t$i
  • Use short passphrases with special characters separating to make it difficult for crackers and could be easily remembered like cry%like@me (cry like me)
  • Avoid using the same combination of passwords for different websites
  • If it is difficult for you to remember different passwords for different websites and accounts than try using Password manager applications like RoboForm, 1Password, LastPass.
STAY SECURE, STAY SAFE!

Learn to Encrypt Your Emails against an invasion of privacy by NSA

By : Unknown

Learn to Encrypt Your Emails against an invasion of privacy by NSA

Learn to Encrypt Your Emails against an invasion of privacy by NSA
Now that we have enough details about how the NSA's Surveillance program, running for a long time against almost each country of this planet. 

Hundreds of top-secret NSA documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden already exposed that Spying projects like PRISM and MUSCULAR are tapping directly into Google and Yahoo internal networks to access our Emails. NSA's tactics are even capable to defeat the SSL encryption, so unsecured email can easily be monitored and even altered as it travels through the Internet.

One major point on which all of us are worrying is about the privacy of communication among each other and If you're looking for a little personal privacy in your communications you will need to encrypt your messages.
To avoid privacy breaches; rather I should say to make it more difficult for the NSA or British GCHQ surveillance program to read our communication, we should use PGP encryption (Pretty Good Privacy).

Why we should Encrypt our Emails? Each public mail service provider sends information from sender to recipient like a postcard which has a recipient’s address and the content to be conveyed; and is open to the medium used for sending the card. Encryption is an envelope of the content of the document to be sent and leave the recipient’s address open so that it can reach to the destination. So by encrypting your mail, even if any mail service provider is keeping a record of all mails, you need not to worry that your document is being read by third person neither by NSA people.

Encrypting your email may sound daunting, but it's actually quite simple. We are going to use something called GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) or Gpg4win (Windows).
Installation
Step 1: Download the Gpg4win on windows machine and install it.
Gpg4win
Step 2: Go ahead and after successful installation, close the window.

Generating your PGP pair key:
Step 3: Now open Kleopatra tool (A GUI GPG Key Manager) to create a new asymmetric key pair (public & private). Click on File -> New Certificate.
PGP pair key
Step 4: In the key generation wizard, click on "Create a personal OpenPGP key pair" and in the next window enter your basic details:
PGP pair key
Step 5: In the next window, once review your details and click "Create Key". It will prompt you for entering a passphrase. Set a strong password and confirm it once again in the next window.

Step 6: Within a few seconds (depending on your system speed), Your Key pair will be generated (as shown).
PGP pair key
Step 7: You should "Make a backup of your file pair" somewhere safe. You can also export the public key to the public directory by clicking on the Upload Certificate to Directory Service.

Step 8: Once done, the key manager main interface will show your certificate as shown:
PGP pair key
Step 9: Select your newly generated certificate -> Right click -> click on Export Certificates to save your Public keys on the desktop.

You will have to exchange your public keys with whom you want to make secure communication via mails. Many people post their public keys to their personal websites. You can send it as attachments to everyone you email, just so they have them.
PGP pair key
Once your friends will have your Public keys, they can import it Kleoptra software via 'Import Certification' option from the menu.

Composing an encrypted email:
Step 1: Open Outlook -> Compose a new mail and write the recipient’s address, Subject and your message.
PGP pair key
Note: You should already have your email ID configured over Outlook software on windows machine and if your Outlook doesn't have OpenPGP, then you can install 'Outlook Privacy Plugin' to enable it.

Step 2: Under GpgOL menu (as shown), click on 'Encrypt'. The software will automatically import the public keys of the recipient from the Key Manager (only if exists or imported before).
PGP pair key
Step 3: If you also want to attach some files to this encrypted email, then under GpgOL menu, click Encrypted File and select the file to be attached and SEND mail.

When you or the recipient will receive the encrypted mail, one should first decrypt it using private keys.

Step 4: Under GpgOL menu, click on 'Decrypt' to convert the email into readable form. To proceed, It will ask for  the secret passphrase entered at the time of creation of key pair.

That's it! Other than Outlook you can also use various desktop email clients (Thunderbird or Postbox) or web mail, that also support PGP encryption. You can import your key pair to other software also in order to manage the same account.
