VPN NETWORKING

VPN

VPN is an online privacy and creating a private network from a public internet connection. When the internet was first designed the packets(chunk of data) as really possible. It creates the virtual tunnel through which data travels from one computer to another over the network. Due to this an attacker gets the way to use the client to relay attack through the VPN tunnel.

  • VPN fingerprinting.
  • username enumeration vulnerabilities
  • offline password cracking
  • lack of account lockout
  • offline password cracking

Insecure Storage of Authentication Credentials by VPN Clients

  • storing the username unencrypted in a file or registry
  • storing the password in a scrambled form
  • storing the permission s credentials.

Types of VPN

  1. PPTP: This is the most commonly and widely used VPN protocol
  2. SITE TO SITE VPN: This is similar to PPTP but there is no dedicated line for transmission for  this.it worked with hardware and software based firewall devices.
  3. L2TP: It provides not only data confidentiality but also data integrity.
  4. IPsec: It is designed for IP traffic.
  5. SSL: It can be accessed through http web browser.it create a secure session between browser and server.
  6. MPLs VPN: It was design to store and forward speed of routers.
  7. Hybrid VPN: It is highly flexible at the client as well as server level.

The VPN data which is thus transferred is called payload. A VPN can prove highly advantage for a company. It can extend connectivity to different geographical locations. The operational cost in VPN is much less when compared to traditional WAN.

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu

Due to the continuously growing natality rate, increased availability of healthcare and food production has led to decreased mortality and further proliferated, population outburst on earth. This has caused strain on the energy sources and thereafter there has been an endless search for the most convenient, fast, and long-lasting method of renewable source of energy. According to the sources, from 2011 to 2021, renewable energy has grown from 20% to 28% of the global electricity supply. Fossil energy shrank from 68% to 62%, and nuclear from 12% to 10%. The share of hydropower decreased from 16% to 15% while power from sun and wind increased from 2% to 10%. Biomass and geothermal energy grew from 2% to 3% . Among many energy sources, Biomass can be one of the most trusted renewable energy sources, due to its abundance of availability present in nature. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plant

Do not respond to the message if you believe you are being targeted by a phisher; instead, report the incident to the relevant authorities. Phishing in India !!!! India is a vast and developing country. Digitalization is being done at a speedy rate. This brings a lot of ease for the general public but also creates a pool of opportunities for scammers, hackers, and con men. As per an article by Times of India Between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2022, clients lost roughly 1500 crores in these scams.
