How To Extract All Hyperlinks In A Web Page
Sometimes you might need to have the all the hyperlinks from a webpage. For example if you are a developer you might be in need of a JavaScript or CSS of a webpage that is hosted externally. Sometimes this trick will also help you extract the download link from survey sites. Whatever might be the reason let us learn to do this. We will learn three different ways to extract hyperlinks from a webpage in this post.

Extract Hyperlinks From A Webpage In Chrome

This trick is very simple but is limited to Google chrome users. The trick is performed via the Chrome Dev tools.

Top 17 Cyber Security And Privacy Tips


One of the easiest ways to help others is to simply share your knowledge. You don’t have to be in front of a classroom to teach. Every day there is an opportunity to educate someone about you know. At the end of this article, click share button.
Now let's explore!
With the growing variety of mobile devices, social networking sites, and online offers, it is important to protect yourself and your computer. We’ve compiled this list of 17 cyber security tips to help you take action now.
1. Do not use your full or partial Social Security number as a Personal Identification Number (PIN), user ID or password.
2. Make sure that your password is 8 or more characters and combines capitalized letters, numerals and symbols. Do not use the same user ID and password for your financial accounts as you do for other sites.
3. Consider a screen lock on your mobile device. Many mobile phones offer this option, as well as other customizable security settings, which can help keep your phone and information secure.
4. Do not use your mobile device to store sensitive personal information or bank account numbers.
5. Never respond to urgent email claiming to be from a bank or any company that requests your account information or personal details. Forward these emails to www.fbi.gov or call your local police immediately.
6. Limit the amount of personal information you provide on social networking sites. The more information you post, the easier it may be for a criminal to use that information to steal your identity, access your data, or commit other crimes.
7. Be cautious about messages you receive on social networking sites that contain links. Even links that look like they come from friends can sometimes be harmful or fraudulent attempting to gain control of your computer or steal your personal information. If you are suspicious, don’t click the link. Contact your friend or the business directly to verify the validity.
8. Keep your computer operating system and browser up to date with the latest and official software and security downloads. These may be called "patches" or "service packs" and should be installed as soon as possible.
9. Don’t open attachments or install free software from unknown sources, this may expose your computer and the information on it to unauthorized sources.
10. Install a comprehensive (official) Firewall/Antivirus/Anti-spyware software package on your computer. These software suites help detect and remove viruses and spyware, which can steal vital information.
11. When entering personal information into a website, make sure that the URL starts with https://. The “s” stands for secure and means that any information entered into the website is encrypted so that no one else can access it.
12. Use caution when connecting to unfamiliar or public Wi-Fi networks. These networks are sometimes referred to as zombie networks and can be the gateway to malware or viruses. As an extra safety measure, turn off your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when not using it.
13. Add a DNS service to protect other devices. A DNS or domain name system service converts a web address (a series of letters) into a machine-readable IP address (a series of numbers). You're probably using your ISP's DNS service by default, but you can opt to subscribe to openDNS which redirect you if you attempt to access a malicious site.
14. When checking your bank account or paying a bill online use the incognito mode or private browsing and when you finish the browsing, clear browsing history, stored password and cache from browser settings.
Normally web browsers store information like your browsing history, images, videos, text and cookies in a cache. A cache stores information about a webpage that lets it load faster the next time you visit.
15. Use more than one email address one for social networking and other for your business. (Honestly, i've more than 23 email addresses).
16. Keep your account numbers, user names, and passwords secret. Don't share it with your boyfriend/girlfriend. At the time of breakup, they can hit your privacy by getting the help from outside sources.
17. Avoid tech support phone scams: Cybercriminals don't just send fraudulent email messages and set up fake websites. They might also call you on the telephone and claim to be from Microsoft. They might offer to help solve your computer problems or sell you a software license. Once they have access to your computer, they can trick you into installing malicious software that could capture sensitive data.

How To Detect And Remove WireLurker Malware From iPhone, iPad



What is WireLurker?
The WireLurker malware, known to infect OS X powered Macs and iOS devices has stirred up the Apple community. Malware that successfully infects Apple products is rare. On the Mac that was because criminals tended to go after the much bigger Windows market, while on the iPhone and iPad, Apple's App Store security has been exemplary. Known to exist as a threat in China

How do I detect WireLurker?

The WireLurker malware installs a number of files on your OS X system, which set it up to detect any iOS systems you attach by a USB cable, and then install malware into that iOS device. If you have any of these files on your Mac, then you likely have the malware installed. These have been outlined by Palo Alto Networks, the company that discovered the malware, and for the current variant of the malware include the following files:
1. A file called run.sh in the Macintosh HD > Users > Shared folder
2. Any of the following files in the Mac into sh HD > Library > Launch Daemons folder
com.apple.machook_damon.plist
com.apple.globalupdate.plist
3. Any of the following files in the Macintosh HD > System > Library > Launch Daemons folder
com.apple.appstore.plughelper.plist
com.apple.MailServiceAgentHelper.plist
com.apple.systemkeychain-helper.plist
4. In addition, the following files and folders will be in the hidden usr/bin directory, which can be opened by pressing Shift-Command-G in the Finder and then then entering “/usr/bin” in the path field that shows up:
globalupdate/usr/local/machook/WatchProcitunesupdate
com.apple.MailServiceAgentHelper
If you see any or all of these files in your Mac’s hard drive, then your Mac has likely been compromised.

How to protect against WireLurker?
The first step Mac users can take to protect themselves is to not download or run any applications that come from third-party app stores. Go to OS X's System Preferences, click "Security and Privacy," and then select "Allow apps downloaded from Mac App Store (or Mac App Store and identified developers)." This will prevent the Mac from installing any software unauthorized by Apple. Next, install a decent OS X antivirus application. Some of the best ones are free, so you have nothing to lose. Be sure to keep all the software on all your iOS and OS X devices up-to-date. Apple is quite responsive about patching vulnerabilities. Never connect your iPhone to an unknown or untrusted computer, whether it's a Mac or a PC, or even an untrusted charger, chargers can actually be mini-computers.

How do I remove WireLurker?
Fortunately, WireLurker appears to be easy to remove. All you have to do is delete the related files from the affected Macs or iOS devices.
For Jailbroken Users
Step 1: Install a File manager such as iFile or Filza. You could also use SSH capabilities to gain access to your iDevice from your Mac or PC.
Step 2: Navigate to > Library > MobileSubstrate > DynamicLibraries.
Step 3: Here, look for a file named sfbase.dylib and if found, you know your device is infected. However, if no such file exists, breathe a sigh of relief. Normally one would perceive deleting this file as a removal of the threat that WireLurker is, but it is recommended that you do a complete restore of your iOS device from iTunes.
For Non-Jailbroken Users
Although there’s no way you can be infected by WireLurker at this point, considering Apple has placed in appropriate security measures, but, there’s a possibility that you conceived the malware a while back before the Cupertino giant took action. And if you believe that you’re infected, and don’t happen to be jailbroken, then read on.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and go to General > Profile.
Step 2: Check for any anomalous profile and if you find one delete it.
Step 3: Check all installed apps for strange behavior, and delete all strange or suspicious ones that you find installed. Again, it is highly recommended that you do a complete restore of your iOS device from iTunes till a more effective and sure fire solution comes up.

Webcam Safety Tips: Are You Being Watched Through Your Webcam?


Webcam Safety Tips

A few clicks of the mouse, and your webcam is activated and ready to be used. But have you considered the possibility that someone else could be watching you through your own webcam?

Well, strictly speaking, if your computer is secure and uninfected, can’t be accessed remotely, and has strong password, locked case, tied up with string to prevent people from accessing it when unattended, then no worries, you’re good.

How Webcams Get Hacked
Hackers utilize a type of software called Remote access tool (RAT) that allows them to remotely access a computer as if they were physically there. Though RATs were designed for legal purposes, like allowing a technician to remotely access a user’s computer to troubleshoot problems without having to physically be there, hackers exploit this software for their own benefit.
Typically, a hacker lures an unsuspecting user into clicking on a link, opening a picture or email attachment, visiting a specific website, or downloading some software. After the user falls for one of these, the RAT software is secretly installed onto the user’s computer. The hacker now has remote access to the user’s computer.

Preventing Your Webcam from Being Hacked
Many articles recommend covering the lens of the webcam with a piece of paper to prevent hackers from spying on you. But doing that alone is brushing the real problem under a rug. Having your webcam hacked means your PC has been compromised by some malware, and you need to take immediate action to get rid of it. Here are some easy things you can do that can prevent your computer from being compromised in the first place.

Don’t Click on Unknown Links
Hackers lure victims into installing RAT software onto their PC by disguising links, pictures, or email attachments as something desirable, such as free music, movies, or desktop wallpapers. Be wary of suspicious websites that offer similar items. Also be cautious about clicking on shortened links you may find on social media sites.

Equip your computer with an antivirus and two-way firewall
Having an antivirus and two-way firewallis minimum security any PC should be equipped with. An up-to-date and active antivirus helps to detect and remove malware from infecting your computer. A two-way firewall monitors inbound and outbound traffic to-and-from your computer.

Be cautious of tech support offering remote assistance
Hackers may physically contact you by claiming there are problems with your computer. They’ll try to persuade you to install a program that allows them remote access to your computer, so that they can fix the problem. Simply ignore calls from those who claim they are tech support.

Secure your wireless connection
A hacker can easily hack into unsecure Wi-Fi networks with a laptop, antenna, and widely available software. Don’t make it easy for them. Secure your wireless connection with a strong and complex password.

Disable Windows Remote Access
Though most RATs deployed by malware are custom tools, disabling Windows Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop is one thing you can do to prevent hackers from remotely accessing your computer.

How Hackers Hack Bank Accounts and Personal Information

Most people learning hacking always have a keen interest in knowing that how they can hack bank accounts of other people. But most of them find it pity much difficult such that now they have made a perception that bank account information like credit cards or debit cards or net banking passwords cannot be hacked. Its truth to an extent that hacking Banking account information and credit or debit cards passwords is most difficult and almost impossible part. Today i will discuss with you why hacking bank account information is tough and always considered as impossible task. We will also discuss the different methods that hackers use to hack bank account information nowadays.
Recommend Post What Is Keylogger And How To Be Safe From Keyloggers

I am quite sure that almost everybody using internet nowadays uses that internet to pay online bills, book reservation tickets, purchase online things or simply transfer money i.e. involved in at least some kind of online transaction that is related to money i.e. banking information, credit or debit card payments or simply Net banking. Most of banks uses SSL (Secured Sockets Layer) connection and at least 128 or 256 bit encryption for online banking and transaction purposes. Also now an extra layer of security is introduced that is called transaction PIN layer means for each and every online transaction you have to enter your passwords and during transaction you have to enter PIN (a type of password that varies 4 to 8 chars in length). Thus bank do alot of work to protect your secret information and credentials from the eyes of the world that may wish to gain access to your such a vital information.
Below example will illustrate you how powerful the encryption method is:
* . 40 bit encryption, means there are 2^40 possible keys that could fit into the lock that holds your account information. That means there are many billions of possible keys that means brute forcing such thing is imposable. Only thing now left is dictionary and rainbow attack. But its not only the security measure that banks used to secure there information. Also its only 40 bit encryption.
* . 128 bit encryption means there are 2^88 times as many as key combinations that are being possible for 40 bit encryption. That means a computer would require exponentially more processing power and time than for 40-bit encryption to find the correct key. That's a very powerful method of encrypting data sent from your machine to bank machine. But unfortunately it's all is useless to you once your system has been compromised or hacked. Now How these all security Encryption can be bypassed and your system can be compromised online. There are several methods for exploiting and bypassing such account information Some of them are:
1. Phishing
