The difference in data security of modern times and past


Modern data networks are extremely fast if we make compares with the data networks in the past and modern times. That is the threat but also an opportunity for the officials and security specialists, who are hunting hackers in the network. And the tools, what is used in that action are also suitable as the hacking tools. This is the thing, what we must remember when we are hiring some penetration testers, who are working for data security companies.

We must understand that those penetration testers can work as full-time hackers, who are trying to penetrate other companies networks. The idea of the penetration tests is that the team would simulate the attacks against the firewall and other tools, what are used to protect the data, what is stored behind the firewalls. But the same tools can be used to penetrate other networks and the contracts of that kind of operations can cover as the penetration test.

But when we are talking about the hacking cases, where the targeted system has been infected with malicious software we must realize that somebody must make that kind of software. The software must be made by some people, who have the right tools and education for that kind of software, which is not very easy to make.

There must be somebody, who makes malicious tools

If we would think the case, that somebody would try to program the malware by using normal computers, the anti-virus can detect that kind of action immediately. And if the hackers or programmers of the malicious software want to make sure, that software is effective, they must test it by using a different kind of anti-viruses and firewalls. And this kind of testing would cause the alarm in the surveillance rooms.

The modern data security bases the offensive technology, where the hacker would attempt to track across the network. That thing works that when the intruder would download some data from the server, the tracking tool would put little cookie or code in the data. This data would answer a similar message, what ping sends to network, and that would allow tracking the hackers. There are people who are judging this thing because this tool can be used to track every person, who is connected to the Internet.

If somebody steals the source code of the computer programs, what officials like NSA are using to create their surveillance tools, that person might create own tools for that kind of developing software. But there are many more things, what people must realize when they are making software. In fact, those developers must have excellent skills in programming because they must remove the tracking codes of that software, and if they cannot do that, the software can send the tracking data to the NSA.

Hackers would need really good laboratories for creating effective hacking tools.

And then those hackers must have a laboratory, where they test the software, what is created by that software. Then those creators must have the knowledge, how those virus-generators are acting. In fact, there could be artificial intelligence based solutions, what mission is to deny the misuse of the governmental software, what is created for making spyware for the intelligence community of the United States.

That means that maybe this kind of special software is code, what would make anti-virus software use the stealth alarms if the malicious software is made by using by the NSA virus generator. In this case that the software, what is used as the generator would make the mark in the things, what made of them, and that will send the mark to the headquarters of the NSA or to the laboratories, what is used for creating the anti-virus.

And maybe the alarm can be caused the situation, that somebody would buy multiple licenses for antivirus tools if that person is not the creator of the antivirus software, or actually stealing the code is a crime. That means that the person must work for some technical magazine. But being the creator of anti-virus would explain, why some person needs to create the malicious code.

The captured source code of computer viruses could be a risk of security because if hackers can get that code, they can modify that to new viruses

That is used for creating the detection of the firewall and antivirus.  In that case, the person needs a laboratory for a testing antivirus program, and also multiple tools for creating that kind of software effectively. But the developer of the antivirus program can also be the cover work for creating the spying and tracking tools.

Sometimes I have thought that if the hackers can penetrate the hard disk of the companies like F-Secure, they would get the codes for many malicious tools, what they could modify if they have enough skills, and that hard disk might be a very interesting target. From there, hackers can get a perfect code for their own solutions, and they can modify that captured malicious software to the new form.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting armor has
