Learn How To Create Virtual Machines

Virtual Machine is a software that allows an entire operating system (the "guest") to run on another OS (the "Host"), whether in a container window, or full-screen, or in what's sometimes called a "seamless" mode, where just one application is run from the “guest”. Virtual machines have a number of serious uses. They allow you to experiment with another operating system without leaving your current operating system. 

They’re a good way to play with Linux, or at least a new Linux distribution, without actually installing that Linux distribution on your current hardware or even just booting to a live CD or USB drive. When you’re done with an operating system, you can just delete the virtual machine. A virtual machine is also a great way to test a new version of Windows. You can't run OS X as a guest system on Windows or Linux, but the VirtualBox can run anything else including those pre-rolled virtual images you find laying around the internet

There are number of Virtual Machine programs available on the Internet, out of which VirtualBox is popular because its completely free and it supports Windows, Linux and Mac. It runs pretty smoothly on Windows and Linux with no problems at all. However, integrated Parallel Desktops or VMware Fusion are better options for Mac.

How To Setup Virtual Machine

1. Go to any Virtual Machine program's download page and download the right copy for your system. The only real choice falls on Linux users having to choose between 32- and 64-bit versions for their particular distribution.

2. Click through the install screens; in most cases, you won't have to stop and change anything. You'll probably get a warning that VirtualBox will have to disconnect and re-connect your network connection for a few seconds while it's setting up, so finish up any crucial net transfers.

3. During setup on Windows, you'll be asked to install "device software" or "drivers"—hit "Install" for each, or check the box that indicates you'll "Always trust ..." drivers.

4. Once Virtual Machine program is installed, launch it and you'll arrive at an empty screen. You can run something here. VM programs like, VirtualBox provides tools to dual-boot the hard-drive and lot many other tweaks as well.

5. If you're testing out a Linux system, just download the ISO from Ubuntu, Fedora etc. Linux distros,

6. You can also install Windows using a physical CD or DVD. You can also use the bootable USB media for the same. When it Virtual machine asks to insert installation media, insert the installation disc or USB, Virtual Machine will boot and load the OS automatically.

7 Most Common Areas Ignored While Maintaining Cyber-Security

While setting up a security plan for a particular network, most often the big picture gets covered ignoring small details which might prove crucial in future. If these minute areas are ignored, the cybersecurity belt will never be fool-proof. Here are seven such areas which usually skip IT security officers' notice but they should make sure that all these areas are covered in order to ensure utmost security from cyber attacks:



1. Keep a tab on your own people:

This area is called advanced persistent threat. In the security chain the weakest link is the end user. There are some people who are aware of the fact that no IT security policy will be applicable to them ever. They exploit this vulnerability too. But IT security officers should never allow this gap happen and complying with security policies, they should enforce the policies on everyone, irrespective of the fact who they are.

2. Escalation process should be appropriate:

Whenever a warning arises of an impending issue, there should not be further ignorance. But sometimes these alerts are ignored the most, leading to bigger problems. Sometimes the person who receives the alert doesn't have the authority to escalate it for further investigation. Sometimes they are also not able to locate those people who have the necessary authority. That's why a disastrous consequence cannot be avoided anyhow. If immediate action could be taken at the very initial period, then the devastating consequences could be avoided too. So it's very important that every staff has the knowledge to whom an alert has to be escalated so that proper action is taken as soon as a smallest sign of trouble arises.

3. Additional authentication:

It's pretty necessary but ignored most of the time. If some operation requires more than two people and one person among them is not present to launch the operation, then the other person should have dual authentication access so that the operation is not delayed anyhow. Authentication system should be appropriate everytime.

4. Have control on downloads:

IT security professionals should be very alert about which software is installed by employees. Keep certain limitations on admin rights on laptops, desktops and servers. There are so many commercial products in the market which can be downloaded by employees seamlessly. It's IT security professionals' responsibility to check that a machine is maintaining the ethics of a work environment.

5. Keep track of open source technologies through documentation:

A white list is popular but not sufficient all the time. A proper request for new software products and applications is required before installation. If open source components are in use then proper tracking is also required. There are several software applications which are partially or fully based on open source codes. If components' source is not known, then assessing the risk also gets tough and vulnerability becomes higher.

6. Have control on using company's equipment:

Web browsing capabilities of users must be controlled both inside and outside the premises if company property is used. Employees might not like web filters but compromised sites have their own vulnerabilities, not on the face all time time. If you are supposed to protect your network, you have to be strict Web browsing practices without any exception.

7. Put lock on browser on take-home machines:

Web filters are used in most cases in corporate networks. Some use client side Web filtering and restrict uses of a computer when a laptop of tablet has to be carried to home and worked via a private network. Though this filtering thing is not liked by employees, but this equipment has to be implemented for good of all, including those employees too.

Top 8 Tech Buzzwords of 2014 Which You Must Know!

In the technology field, buzzwords are very essential parts. It hardly matters if you are an amateur or an expert in the field, if you are supposed to speak about technology in your daily conversations, then it might get difficult for you to go with the flow without knowing these buzzwords. Technologies are pouring in from across the globe as the consumer world is getting connected to IT furthermore in recent times. That's why the buzzword count has scaled up a lot. Let's take a look at eight hottest tech buzzwords of 2014 here:


1. IoT or Internet of Things and IoE or Internet of Everything:

IoT is a network which connect daily used devices and thins like automobiles, fitness bands, home appliances and toothbrushes with technology and Internet connectivity. The term is not new but it's in the year of 2014 that IoT has started affecting our lifestyles effectively. That's why IoT is considered one of the hottest technology trends of 2014. Wireless Internet connected devices are on a boom throughout this year. While IoT is the most popular term, IoE is also very much present in the market.

2. Gamification:

Gamification is used by companies to boost more user input and to create more competition in creativity. Gamification helps improve services and engage more users. It's also capable of gathering more customer inputs. Gamification is a positive business model if applied appropriately and not misused. This term is used by marketing people, software communities and technology support segments.

3. Fiber Optics:

Fiber optic lines are used in pure glass to carry digital data with high speed at long distances. It was once exclusively used for medical industry and big businesses but now fiber optic technology has made it large through telephone systems, cable television and Internet. Fiber optic Internet service transmits data at the speed of light which means you can download music, movies, pictures and videos 25 times faster.

4. Big Data:

Big Data is a popular tech buzzword which you must be aware of. It refers to data which is complex and huge in volume. It's impossible to process these data through conventional measures. Big Data is used to reduce costs, provide better customer support and develop new products. Big Data is all-pervasive now among businesses and it has started affecting our personal lives too. For example, we can mention smartwatches and wearable fitness trackers which gather massive data about our daily activities and health. These devices track blood pressure, sleeping habits and activity practices and store all these data for our well-being.

5. BYOE (Bring Your Own Everything):

You must have heard about BYOD, which is bring your own device. It's common in businesses which ask employees to use their own mobile phones, laptops and tablets for work. But as wearable technologies are on a boom, it's time for BYOE or bring your own everything.

6. Dual Persona:

Another buzzword which keeps surrounding us is dual persona which refers to mobile phones which enable people to maintain separate environments for personal and business use on the same device.

7. Cloud:

Without the term, Cloud, buzzword dictionary would remain incomplete. Cloud is there in the technology air for everyone now. Cloud is a generic term used for storage and workload computing power. Cloud is an over-hyped but yes, a very necessary term. There are private clouds, public clouds and hybrid clouds for both employees and customers. Cloud security is in big question as its size creates vulnerabilities mostly. It isn't a buzzword which will disappear in near future.

8. Ransomware:

Ransomware is a malware which attacks and infects a computer and encrypts sensitive data till a ransom is paid. CryptoLocker is one such malware which encrypts data to lock the most precious files of the victim computer. Attacks by ransomware can be devastating as it can encrypt local drives as well as corporate network data.

8 Software Releases of 2014 To Go A Long Way!

 As 2014 is nearing its end and just 27 days are left when we will step forward towards a new beginning, it would be great if we rewind the year of 2014 here, recalling what are those software releases of this year which will be remembered in future as great ones and which are going to impact out technological circles in the days to come too. There were tons of them but here we have selected the best eight out of them which have the potential to transform the tech industry in 2015 and beyond.







1. Facebook Messenger:

If you are using the mobile app of Facebook you must be knowing the fact that Facebook's messaging service doesn't exist for the mobile versions anymore. When you are using Facebook on your smartphone or tablet, you cannot send a message or chat with a friend through the main app. You are bound to install and use Facebook Messenger for messaging and chatting purposes. Initially Facebook users didn't like the innovation and even refused to install the Messenger system, but Facebook made it mandatory. Facebook took this move to streamline activities of the main app and they always wanted to ensure that their service has to be used so that it doesn't die in face of competition from other messaging apps.

2. Cortana:

Cortana is a personal voice assistant by Microsoft which is used on their own platforms. Cortana is a part of Windows 8.1 and it's just like Google Now and Siri. Using Cortana you can search on the web while speaking to your device. Cortana performs other tasks too based on several commands like it can send a message and it can automatically update you about those information which are relevant like flight reports, local weather data and traffic status. Cortana is also expected to be a part of Windows 10. It means Cortana and Google Now will keep challenging each other as Google has been adding features from Google Now into the Windows version of Chrome.

3. Netflix on Linux:

Netflix is a DRM-locked video streaming service which is being made available on Linux. Netflix has been launched on Linux but unofficially. The video streaming service is compatible with selected Linux distributions including Arch, Gentoo and Ubuntu. It can also be availed through the latest beta of Chrome for Linux as the browser has the code to play DRM-protected video.

4. Android apps for Chrome browser:

Usually apps are able to run on either Android or Chrome. Google has released some apps which are compatible with both Android and Chrome OS. Thereafter, hackers figured out how Android apps are created for Chrome browser and also offered tools which would help users to see if their favourite Android apps were actually workable on Chrome or not. Though it's not very clear yet what are the specialities of an Android app for Chrome browser and Chrome OS, but the technicalities behind it sound cool.

5. iOS 8:

Though iOS 8 arrived as a huge disappointment among iPhone and iPad users because of its bug issues, but still iOS 8 created a lot of buzz during its release. In the first and second releases of the operating system there were lots of bugs which caused severe problems for older iPhone and iPad models and the latest iPhone 6 models. iOS 8 has been avoided by Apple users so far, but it's expected to stay there amid all negativities.

6. Photoshop on Chromebook:

There is an online version of Photoshop now. Photoshop is the most popular image editing tool which has been introduced in Chromebooks for students. It can be used only on those Chromebooks and Adobe Creative Cloud which is operated under educational license. Speculations arose that as Photoshop has an online app now, it should work on all modern web browsers too, cross-operating systems, including Linux. In 2015, the app version of Photoshop will be available for general public.

7. Windows 10:

A preview was offered for Windows 10 as Microsoft didn't have a great time post launch of Windows 8 because of user complaints. Now with this preview Microsoft sought users' opinion for the next Windows. Windows 10 will not hit the markets before mid-2015 but public was allowed to download the preview and try the beta version for free. The technical preview of Windows 10 has a feedback tool too which is aimed at users to suggest Microsoft what can they do to improve the next Windows.

8. Apple Pay:

Apple is all set to make its digital wallet popular worldwide. Apple took an excellent approach to reach to everyday user through its Apple Pay feature, which is implemented by NFC technology. A simple UI is used in Apple Pay which makes it easy to be used with iPhone and iPad latest models. The software has access to banking institutions like Bank of America and Citi Bank as well as credit card companies like American Express, MasterCard and VISA. Apple Pay works like a virtual credit card which allows you buy goods instantly at several retail stores.

10 Reasons Why Open Source Projects Are Taking Over The World!

Since the advent of Google's Android operating system, open source software and applications have gained immense popularity, even amongst regular users. More people are joining into the efforts every day, making open source more and more reliable and feature rich.

Here are the reasons why the revolution is happening.

1. Quality

The quality of open source projects has improved over the years. While earlier these projects used to be lacking in many areas as compared to other proprietary projects, this is no longer true. Open Source projects, software, programs and applications have come up in a big way, especially in the past year. Android has led the rise of open source, bringing more and more projects to the mainstream.

2. Feature set

Another area where many open source projects were found wanting was in providing the appropriate features. But with things like Android, Valve's Steam OS and Steam Machines and many other projects have delivered features that are well beyond what their proprietary alternatives can give.

3. Security

The open sourceness of a project is in itself a step towards security. With so many developers, programmers and coders looking at a particular code, vulnerabilities are spotted more easily. Moreover, the more minds that are working on the project, better are the ideas.

4. Faster innovation

Taking from the last point, when more people are looking at a project, it brings more creativity and innovation into a project. Moreover, open source projects are often created in order to replace a proprietary project. In order to do so, they have to go a step forward and add more to their application.

5. Scalability

Unlike many proprietary software, open source projects are mostly focused on being scalable, rather than catering to a particular market segment. For example, Android can work on tablets, smartphones and even PCs, making it a one stop solution for three kinds of devices.

6. Customisation

When the creator of an application brings open source's their project, it increases the scope for customisation. Often, savvy users taking a look at the code, make their own additions to the program and turn it into something completely different.

7. Collaboration

Enterprise users often need the same product, but with little variation in order to suit their business needs. In such cases, the customer has the choice to either buy a proprietary software and adjust to it or choose an open source alternative that is just as good and can be customised to suit your needs.

8. Standards

The standards in open source are set by organisations like the Apache Foundation, Linux Foundation and other organisations. This means that the standards are set by the industry itself, which knows what is good for it and what works.

9. Cutting-edge

Have you seen the features that Android brought? Cutting edge features and technology are the trademarks of open source software.

10. Cost

Open source software costs less and are most often available for free.

10 Reasons Why You'll Find JavaScript As The Best Language For Web Development

JavaScript is a great language for improving marketing platforms. Well not for any particular avenue, but JavaScript is actually the best language for overall use on the web. And there are several reasons behind that. Since its birth in 1995, JavaScript has gone a long way and since last five years it has grabbed a lot of attention. Developers love to use JavaScript. Here are the best 10 reasons why you need to learn JavaScript for your web development aspirations:

1. Reason 1 - Flexibility:

JavaScript has often annoyed developers because of its browser incompatibility issues but now things have changed. It is one of the best flexible languages which is used across all the common browsers. JavaScript is not at all a compiled language but you simply don't need to bother about loading and unloading content, compiling or setting data types.

Reason 2 – The best language for hangouts:

As Node.js can be used in the back of any hangout application like Skype, the video signal easily gets transported over the air to one or more clients. Two-way communication has become with extended use of JavaScript. Communication channels are mostly using this language as peer-to-peer communication couldn't get any better.

Reason 3 - HTML scripting:

If you want to create a dynamic functional webpage then you have to write the code in JavaScript. Everything ranging from pop-up window to client-side form validation and calculation, the basic requirement in JavaScript. In case you are using IE, JavaScript is the best alternative to VBScript because of its incompatibility with the browser. In Web development JavaScript is ubiquitious now which means that its basic syntax is the most common thing among developers. If the learning process goes on, then the advanced features are not very tough to grasp.

Reason 4 – Easy to Edit:

It's very easy to start with JavaScript. As it's a scripting programming language, so the code doesn't require to get compiled and not any compiler or similar software. It's a plain text which means you just need a notepad or any plain text editor.

Reason 5 - : Easy Browsing

Browsers have been easier to manage with JavaScript, especially after the release of Kinect SDK by Microsoft. The complete working kinect.jslibrary enables use of Microsoft's Kinect in your browser. But there is a drawback too as it's mandatory that a WebSocket server program is running at the back side. Solutions are being worked upon for this problem too by discovering a browser plug-in which enables Kinect sue for browsers like Chrome and Safari. This solution is known as DepthJS, which is at an early development stage.

Reason 6 - Mozilla Rhino:

If you find scripting with Java as difficult, then here comes Mozilla Rhino for you which uses JavaScript. The direct Java model is being abandoned by most developers now and JavaScript or Rhino has emerged as the favourite option for scripting and interfacing with Java libraries.

Reason 7 – Best Language for Prototyping:

As JavaScript is a prototyping language every object is considered as a class. Objects mean which are developed through particular use. JavaScript leads to rapid and flexible development as there are several design patterns which are not so easy to use in other structured languages. As JavaScript allows creating prototypes, it the best option for extension of existing classes.

Reason 8 – Controlling 3D Games:

If you play a non-Flash browser game then JavaScript is a good option for you. JavaScript's graphic capabilities are amazing and in case of action games the language plays a major role. In case of action games, if you're using JavaScript, then you can plug your Xbox controller into your PC and you can also use the Gamepad API. If you have a gamepad then just plug it in and enjoy your games. JavaScript allows programming through input controls.

Reason 9 - Editing XML via DOM:

DOM can be implemented in a robust way through JavaScript and as time has proved, it's quite a worthy candidate for operating all kinds of XML vocabularies.

Reason 10 - Easy to Debug:

JavaScript has several tools like FireBug and Web Developer Toolbar which makes it easy to debug the language. If any mistake is done, it can be tracked easily and at the same place where it occurred in the browser console. Breakpoints can be positioned in the page code so that the code can be debugged through conventional methods.
