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.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
