How to mislead keylogger?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Keylogger is the program, what will record the push of the keyboard buttons and that would allow the hackers to get passwords and other private stuff. That program can use the Internet to send that data, or it can record it and store it to USB-stick, what is put in the back of the computer. The local storage is always visible for the user, and if somebody has left USB to the computer, that thing must be removed before use.

The local storage is suitable in cases, where the hacker has access to the room, where the computer, what is under observation locates. And when the hacker would stop the eavesdropping, must this person just remove the USB stick and keylogger from the computer. But what if the keylogger would send the data to the Internet. One of the best way to avoid that observation and minimize the damages. This means that the public computers would just be used for public purposes, and personal data like bank Saldo must be checked from own computer.

In this case of the security solution that workplaces computers are used only for work, and the things, what the user can show even in the evening news. The reason for spying on the workers might be that the bosses want to know, what the workers are talking about them, but sometimes the purpose of the eavesdropping is just showing the superiority for other people who work as their henchmen. But the keylogger can be misleading very easily. One of the best ways is the naping couple of extra letters ahead of the password, or write password a couple of times wrong, and that would confess, that the user would not access to some databases, what are interesting for some hackers.

Extra letters and false passwords can give the signal for the hackers, that the user has the memory problems, and if the keylogger has been set by the employer. In this scenario, the security chief would call the worker to the office, and tell that there are many errors in the passwords. And after that, this boss tells that the worker should go home and find a new job, and then he would uncover the secret that every computer in this company have been observed. And that would be very nice to know.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
