PASSWORDS WILL NOT SECURE YOUR SYSTEM FROM HACKERS

Securing your system with passwords and pin codes could prevent kids and computer-inexperience people from gaining unauthorized access to your system (any system, ranging from mobile phones, laptop computers, etc.), but it will only slow down a hacker.

About four 4 years ago, I discovered this operating system called BackTrack a distro of Linux Operating Systems of which the latest version is now Linux Kali, specifically for hacking. While figuring out how this witch of the night works, I realized I have been very stupid trying to secure my system from hackers by setting a password. I understand that many people secure their computers with password so that their children or someone who is less technically savvy would not access their computers and tamper with something or an important file. If you are securing your computer from your Wife, Kid, Aunt, etc. so that they don't ruin your important file, then "passwording" is great, but if you  think you are securing your computer to prevent a hacker who has been paid $10,000 to retrieve a file from your system from gaining access, then you should think again.
Passwords don't secure your system from smart hackers, especially the paid ones, it only slows them down and add a bit more task to their to do list.

Since passwords can't secure my system from hackers, what can?

Password prevent people from gaining unauthorized access to your computer. Hackers do not need your authorization or password to gain access to your system, they simply crack in. So to immune your system from these smart heads, you also need to start thinking smart by adopting the best security practice on your systems.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#

"A thread is defined as the execution part of a program. Each thread defines a unique flow of control. If your application involves complicated and time consuming operations then it is often helpful to set different execution paths or threads, with each thread performing a particular job.", says the smart guys behind Tutorials Point.Well, our program is not going to be complicated and we are not going to be performing any time consuming task, we are rather going be creating a camouflage application that gives us the effect similar to what you get when you ping a site or an IP address with the "-t" option in cmd or the effect you see in movies like Blacklist, 24, Person Of Interest and the likes.Now let's stop the ranting and get started.We are going be building this application upon our existing code, one we started in the previous article "How to grammatically Change the background and foreground color of a console Application".Now open up the code in...
