FBI to DDoS Victims: Please Come Forward
Have you been the victim of a distributed denial-of-service attack? If so, the FBI wants you to please come forward.

The FBI is asking anyone in the United States who's been the victim of a DDoS attack to file a report with the local FBI field office or via the website of the Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3. That's a joint partnership between the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, which was set up to receive and investigate internet-related crime complaints from U.S. victims.
Alert: "The FBI requests DDoS victims contact their local FBI field office and/or file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), regardless of dollar loss or timing of incident."
This week's DDoS alert from the FBI focuses on the threat posed by stresser/booter services. Such services are often marketed as a way to "stress test" your own website. But law enforcement agencies say the "DDoS on demand" services are widely used by attackers to disrupt websites and extort organizations into paying attackers to restore access (see Teen Hacker Sentenced Over 'Titanium Stresser' Attacks).
The FBI says such services "are leveraged by malicious cyber actors, pranksters, and/or hacktivists to conduct large-scale cyberattacks designed to prevent access to U.S. company and government websites."
Attacked businesses can lose more than just website accessibility. Last October, at least 80 businesses fell victim to a DDoS attack campaign, including domain name service provider Dyn. The company estimates that the resulting disruption caused it to lose about 8 percent of its customers.
That attack was fueled by Mirai malware, which infects internet of things devices, including routers, digital video recorders and internet-connected security cameras. And the FBI, in its alert, also urges individuals and organizations to take steps to ensure that their IoT devicescannot be compromised.

Fake WAP

Fake WAP There are a horde of things out there that goes under the general name 'hacking.' But what precisely are these demonstrations and what is the completely most effortless one for programmers to finish? This is a stealth assault, similar to a lethal ninja, known as a phony remote access point (Fake WAP). You may likewise know it as a 'man in the center' assault. Programmers can do this effectively enough, taking your information covertly with the goal that you're unaware. More regrettable yet, you'll HELP them do it! A VPN is your vital component to ensuring this doesn't transpire, regardless of the possibility that you do fall into their trap. As a reward, I get the chance to add pictures of ninjas to this post and it absolutely bodes well. What is a fake wireless access point This is the point at which a programmer utilizes a basic bit of programming and a remote system get to card. They will utilize these and go out into the general

The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol

The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol This segment depends on a prerelease adaptation of Windows Server 2008. All data in this is liable to change. Virtual private system (VPN) bolster in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 enables you to interface with your private intranet over the Internet, similarly as though your PC was connected to a neighborhood Ethernet port. Nonetheless, the VPN conventions in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 don't work for some firewall arrangements what's more, for some circuitous arrangements, for example, when your PC is behind a Network Address Translator (NAT) or Web intermediary server—in which the movement for VPN associations is being blocked. To determine these challenges, Windows Server® 2008 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 incorporate help for the new Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP). VPN Access Problems In Windows® XP and Windows Server 2003, the VPN conventions that empower remote access associations with an intranet

Shift cipher

Shift cipher Modular Math and the Shift Cipher The Caesar Cipher is a type of  shift cipher . Shift Ciphers work by using the modulo operator to encrypt and decrypt messages. The Shift Cipher has a  key K , which is an  integer from 0 to 25 . We will only share this key with people that we want to see our message. How to Encrypt: For every letter in the message  M  : 1.  Convert the letter into the number that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0, and call this number  X . ( A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) 2.  Calculate:  Y  =  (X + K)  mod  26 3.  Convert the number  Y  into a letter that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0. (A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) For Example:  We agree with our friend to use the Shift Cipher with  key K=19 for our message.  We encrypt the message  "KHAN",  as follows:​ So, after applying the Shift Cipher with key K=19 our message t
