WHY DO MOST PEOPLE YOU LINUX FOR H#CKING?

1. Linux is open Source and any one can use 3/5 for any type of work, not only for h*cking.

2. Most of the linux Distros are free of cost. One of the most common linux distro is UBUNTU, followed by mint, debian and others.

3. You can edit, copy, distribute various aspects of a linux based OS without violating any copyright law or term and condition. This the reason I think, H*ckers use linux, because they can easily develop softwares used for hacking and pen-testing.

4. Linux OS like kali linux, parrot, backtrack are especially made for pentesting and checking security loopholes, often used for h*cking also.

5. They are made and maintained by developer forums, and are always available to fix bugs, you just need to put your problem in the forum and your problem will be discussed by thousands of developers.

6. They are secure and virus free, no antivirus needed.

7.Easy to use. There is a widespread myth, that linux is only for programmers and h*ckers, which i believe to be wrong, I have been using it for years and I am not a veteran programmer or h*cker and I found it more convenient and user-friendly than windows.

               Android is a mobile multitasking operating system used in smartphones, tablets, readers, consoles, TVs, and even domestic robots. The OS was developed by Android Inc. basing on Linux and was later purchased and popularised by Google. The appearance of Android OS in 2008 made a splash, and it immediately became a leader in the market of smart devices. Thanks to this operating system, modern smartphones and tablets can be considered pocket mini-computers.

Android is a very flexible and friendly system with less than one hour enough for an initial acquaintance. Any user can easily configure OS settings as there is a large number of available relevant applications. You can change anything beyond recognition: if you don’t like the appearance, icons, or a ringtone, just go to Google Play Store, download a relevant application, and quickly configure everything to your liking.

Android mobile app development process

Developing an Android application isn’t just about creating it and adding it to Google Play Store. The process requires careful planning, research, and a clear focus. For your application to be successful, you must follow a number of steps correctly during its development. Typically, the entire cycle consists of five stages:

1. Planning. Before starting development, it is important to define the target audience, purposes, and required functions of your Android application. It is also necessary to conduct comprehensive market research to ensure your application is competitive. At this stage, the ToR for the development of a mobile app are being prepared.
2. Design. At this stage, the appearance (a mockup and user interface) is created. After approval, a designer starts working with the mockup. The designer prepares the final look that users will see on their Android devices.
3. Development. Programmers create an Android application based on the design approved at the design stage.
4. Testing. Once development is complete, the application must be tested. QA engineers must check it thoroughly to make sure the application functions in a correct way without any errors.
5. Launch and maintenance. When testers have checked the application, you can safely release it to the market, namely, upload it to Google Play. However, after successfully adding to the store, your work has not come to an end. Like any software, the application has to be maintained. You must technically support it, improve its functionality, and add new features.

What the Android app development phase includes

Development is translating the vision of your project into life. At this stage, the Android development team will work on three main parts of the project at once: the back end, API, and front end.

      Come on guys its your time to become a developer......There are many online courses too for learning this. Do utilise and make yourself shine bright...💫

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FALL FOR A PHISING ATTACK?

 NOTIFY IT SUPPORT

FIRST, DISCONNECT YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE INTERNET AND LET IT SUPPORT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY'LL PROBABLY WANT TO RUN A COMPLETE SCAN OF YOUR SYSTEM. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE ON THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE SCAN IS COMPLETE AND IT GIVES YOU THE GREEN LIGHT. IF THE PROGRAM PICKS UP ON ANY SUSPICIOUS FILES OR APPLICATIONS, IT WILL TAKE CARE OF CLEANING AND RESTORING YOUR DEVICE.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION

THE DIGITAL AGE ALLOWS FOR UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS OF CONVENIENCE AND EASE OF COMMUNICATION. HOWEVER, IT ALSO INCREASES VULNERABILITIES TO SCAMS AND THEFT. IT IS BEST PRACTICE TO ALWAYS ERR ON THE IF YOU DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO A PHISHING SCAM OR HACK, REGULARLY

SIDE OF CAUTION AND TO SIMPLY

DELETE EMAILS THAT SEEM OFF.EVEN

UPDATE PASSWORDS AND CREDENTIALS JUST TO PLAY IT SAFE.

SET UP FRAUD ALERTS

IF THE SCAM COMPROMISED YOUR BANKING INFORMATION, CONTACT ONE OR ALL THREE OF THE MAJOR CREDIT BUREAUS (EQUIFAX, EXPERIAN AND TRANSUNION) TO SET UP A FRAUD ALERT FOR THE NEXT 90 DAYS. THIS WILL HELP PREVENT A SUCCESSFUL HACKER FROM USING YOUR IDENTITY OR OPENING ACCOUNTS IN YOUR NAME. A MORE PRUDENT STEP IS TO FREEZE CREDIT LINES UNTIL NEEDED. THIS REQUIRES GOING THROUGH ALL THREE BUREAUS.

CHECK ACCOUNTS REGULARLY

SETTING UP AUTOMATED FRAUD ALERTS WILL HELP PROTECT YOU FROM FURTHER DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE PHISHING SCAM HOWEVER, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT INDIVIDUALS DETECT FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY BY DILIGENTLY CHECKING THEIR OWN ACCOUNTS. FINANCIAL, EMAIL AND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS BECOME ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE AFTER A PHISHING ATTACK.

INCREASE CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING

YOU CAN BE CAREFUL AND STILL BECOME THE VICTIM OF A PHISHING SCAM, BUT KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE WILL INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS AT RECOGNIZING A POTENTIAL ATTACK. ONCE A YEAR SECURITY TRAINING IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO TEACH SECURE BEHAVIOR AND KEEP IT TOP OF MIND. GET STARTED WITH ONGOING SECURITY TRAINING THAT INCLUDES SIMULATED PHISHING TESTS TO HELP EMPLOYEES BECOME LESS LIKELY TO BECOME VICTIMS.

CHANGE YOUR CREDENTIALS

MALWARE MAY BE USED AS A VEHICLE TO HARVEST PERSONAL DATA INCLUDING USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS. MAKE SURE TO CHANGE CREDENTIALS ESPECIALLY ON SENSITIVE SITES USED FOR BANKING, EMAIL, SOCIAL MEDIAL OR ANYWHERE THAT STORES PERSONAL DATA. DON'T FORGET YOUR WEB BASED SOFTWARE PLATFORMS THAT YOU USE FOR WORK WHICH MAY STORE SENSITIVE COMPANY INFORMATION. FURTHERMORE, DO NOT USE THE SAME USERNAME AND PASSWORD FOR ALL ONLINE ACCOUNTS. THIS ONLY MAKES IT EASIER FOR HACKERS AND WILL ONLY INCREASE THE IMPACT OF IDENTITY THEFT
