Image
Most people use the default DNS settings provided by their ISP, and while they are usually sufficient for most purposes, there are plenty of free options out there, like OpenDNS and Google DNS. Namebench is a free app that checks to see whether your current settings are optimized and, if not, which free option is best for you. Here's how to use it: Download and install Namebench . Fire it up and choose your settings. Keep the top two boxes checked. If you're concerned about network censorship, check the third box, and if you want to help the developers, check the last box. You can tweak the rest if you're outside U.S. or want to experiment with different browsers. Click Start Benchmark and wait till  Namebench runs its tests. It should take several minutes.

How to Password Protect & Encrypt Files [Mac/Windows]

Image
N owadays, the computer has a very important place in everybody’s life, as a personal gadget used for a lot of different things. Everything is digital and it is stored on a computer’s hard-disk or on a cloud system, offering you easier access to your favorite data. Computers have become the place where you hold pictures, documents, favorite music and everything else in the same place. While storing may include regular data, random and even useless information, people may also keep important stuff, such as wedding photos, work documents, projects and others.

Taking into consideration that all information could be vulnerable to hackers or to unauthorized persons, this is a rather obvious procedure. Another reason to encrypt data can appear in case somebody else also uses that computer and you don’t want them to have access to private pictures, videos or documents. Keeping files prot...

Hackers go Social Because you Trust Links from Friends

Image
H acking has always been perceived as a mystical evil act. Besides victim’s loss, the other reasons are hackers’ quick adaptability with the newest technology and their unpredictable nature. One of which has been witnessed in recent times. Hackers, now instead of breaking into your network and gaining access to your computer, devised a new psychological trick – connecting with you . There has been a slight drift in the ways hackers used to get access to one’s account. If you have been following the hacking conference Defcon , you would know that hackers have sort of put a stop to the traditional exploit development – which was anything from brute forcing several hundreds of passwords per second, to the phishing emails where you are tricked with the authenticity of the source. It’s the age of social networking, and I hate to break this to you, but hackers too have gone social. Since last couple of years, hackers and malicious social engineers have turned their foc...

My Gmail Account got Hacked – What to do and How to Prevent This?

Image
I admit it; my email is my life, my second name, my license plate in the online world. My PayPal account is associated with it, all my online jobs point to that email. I thought that setting up a password of 50 characters long would be enough, but I have chosen only words and numbers. That’s how I almost got hacked. Another huge mistake that I made was to be logged in all the time. This is silly, especially when you’re basically living online, like I do. That’s when I realized that I depend so much on Google. I use Google Reader , Google News , Google Calendar , Google Books , Google+ , Adsense and other products.  You may ask, why do I use them? Well, because they are good, simple and they suit my needs. So, how did the hack happen? Was I that dumb to let a foreigner destroy my online identity or as one’s activity grows on the web, you become an easy target for them. How do big bloggers protect their email accounts...

Image
A ccording to Google , those 10 GB of free offered storage should be more than enough for an average person, who receives mails on a daily basis. Well, when one discovers that “average” is not exactly a word defining its personality, or its inbox, issues appear. Filling up 10 GB of space just with emails is not an easy task but, we’ve found that this happens, and usually to people who are unaware about why their Gmail account is getting filled up .

No problem Practically, getting some storage space back can be done simply by deleting trash items, spa...
