Rosetta: Historic Landing on The Comet Chasing for 10 Years

Around 18:00 GMT, and after 10 years journey connected with the spacecraft Rosetta, Phileas (Philae), a small spacecraft designed to land on the comet 67P, he carried out his mission successfully.

The weight 113 kg lander Philae succeeded smoothly in length 4 km comet, and then sent a signal back to Earth, which confirmed the success of the mission.

The Philae

The mission began 10 years ago with the launch of Rosetta Philae who brought a smaller spaceship. A few hours ago, Philae, which is the size of a washing machine, disconnected from Rosetta and began to fall to the comet. The fall lasted about 7 hours and the Philae lander managed to smoothly. Although part of the landing was selected to be as smooth as possible, it was not certain that the Philae would be able to land smoothly.

The Director General of ESA, the Jean-Jacques Dordain, said "We all learned that the Philae landed. This is a big step for mankind. This is the earthly intelligence that makes the difference. "

The special hooks that were designed to be thrown to the ground during the landing was not used for this reason we do not know if the Philae managed to remain in the party landed. Scientists working on how to shoot the hooks to make sure the position of Philae. According to the pressure received by the Philae landing wheels touched the surface and the landing was smooth.

No spacecraft has landed on the comet, although the Nasa with Deep Impact, 2005 sent a mini spaceship to collide with a comet to see what ingredients consisted of.

The Journey of 10 Years

After the launch of Rosetta in 2004, the spacecraft used 3 times Earth's gravity as a slingshot to accelerate the speed needed to reach the comet. The Rosetta spacecraft using solar panels to have energy for electronic systems, but when he arrived at the most distant point from the sun, where he arrived only 3% of the light that reaches the Earth, should be put in a form and performing Sleep only basic functions. In January 2014 the Rosetta «awakened" successfully in August reached the 67P.

Comets Are The Primary Elements Which Formed Our Solar System

Comets are very important goals as large frozen pieces are left over from the creation of the planets 4.6 billion years ago. Comets are thought to have maintained the primary elements which created our solar system, says Jean-Pierre Bibring, a scientist who works with the Philae.

The complex molecules are considered to be the original pieces which created life may still exist on the 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The Philae has about 60 hours to do all the experiments using 10 institutions before its batteries run out. If Philae is perhaps the shadow has the possibility to charge the batteries with solar panels has.

The Rosetta has already amassed valuable information, as no one ever had followed a comet for so long. Already know how to smelt the environment of the comet from the chemical elements which has acknowledged. The scent would smell if anyone was on the comet would be quite uncomfortable as like rotten eggs or horse urine. Also as the temperature rises as the comet approaches the sun seen firing more water from its surface.

The Rosetta costing 1.4 billion euros, and will continue to accompany the comet for some time. The mission will end in December 2015 when it passed to the closest point to the sun.

Sweetie: The avatars that "captures" pedophiles on the Internet

"My name is Sweetie (cute). I am 10 years old and I live in the Philippines. Every day I sit in front of the camera on my computer and talking with men: 10, sometimes 100 per hour. Asking me to take my clothes off. And they undress. "

It is a confession that undoubtedly shock. Fortunately, however, Sweetie is a ten year old girl, allegedly advised when interlocutors.

This is an avatar (SS so called graphical representation of a human) or, more simply, a software that pretends to be a minor.

Its purpose is to "fish" pedophiles who try to satisfy their appetites, thinking that they are dealing with real children (as unfortunately happens often).

"What we do not know is that I'm not real. I'm a computer system that has been built specifically to identify people who do these acts, "said Sweetie.

The "Sweetness" was born in the laboratories of the Dutch NGO Terre des Hommes. So today is "converse" with thousands of men from around the world who seek to engage in sexual acts in front of the webcam, thinking they are real.

Until now, these people remain unpunished. On Tuesday, however, an Australian became the world's first pedophile sentenced for acts made ​​against not a real man, but a ... avatar.

His name is Robert Scott Hansen is 38 years. Brisbane's Court sentenced him to two years imprisonment, judging the guilty on charges related to child sexual abuse.

"Hey, are you really nine years?" Asked the Sweetie Hansen at the beginning of the dialogue. When he got hit, wasted no time: "I like Asian chicks. Are you "inside" for some action?  Have you ever seen a man naked. He said to a ten year old girl "I am naked.

According to the judge, no matter if it was a real child, or computer software. What matters is that the actor thought he had to do with a minor in the Philippines.

The Sweetie goes into chatrooms and "fishes" pedophiles who surf the Internet to reach out to young children.

In just 10 weeks approximately 200,000 men from 71 countries came into contact with her. According to its creators, most of these people are "above suspicion": a family and children, a good job and a high income and education levels.

In the case of Hansen's organization Terre des Hommes recorded all the "talks" with his Sweetie, as well as the movements of the front of the camera and delivered the material to the Australian police.

The action started Sweetie in a campaign to end the so-called "tourism of webcam» (men surf the internet and pay children from developing countries to perform sexual acts on camera).

appeals

Some, however, do not agree with this practice. The Terry Gorman, president of the Australian Council of Civil Liberties, said the use of such avatars of private organizations is "far-fetched" and equivalent to continuous policing.

Last year, British police warned that these "hunters" often destroy the lives of innocent people - some of whom are driven to suicide - and prevent the identification of the actual culprits.

The Developers Playground of GDG Thessaloniki started and excited guests of the 79th Thessaloniki International Fair

September 07 was the opening day of the season DevFest II, for the second time in Thessaloniki official and exclusively for participants in the playground. 

Developers Google Group this year, after "guideway" from Google, focused on four key pillars that will bring the future in our hands: 

• wearable technology 
• cloud platforms 
• Google Maps API 
• Chrome Extensions and planning 

During the first day of DevFest, guests and participants of the Playground, I had the opportunity to try the Google Glass and solve their queries by Wiebe Elsinga a Google browser Glass. For this reason, developers Google Group 3 workshops planned based on technology and utility of Google Glass. The positions of these workshops filled immediately, and had over 300 people attending, or have questions about the Glass Google! 

Notable was the presentation of a 12 year old, who traveled from Athens to Thessaloniki exclusively for games. The atmosphere was very warm, and as we all know, the GDG Thessaloniki is enthusiastic when it comes to bringing these young talents. 

After Google sessions Glass, saw Wiebe Elsinga flushes on stage when he began to assemble a team talk UX prototyping and a related workshop, where participants had to form teams and start planning your implementation. The workshop lasted over two hours, but neither the participants nor he realized how quickly time passed Wiebe. 

Alongside the conference center Emil RIADIS (former Crown) held the Lady Geek Day event for the first time in Thessaloniki, inspired by the initiative of women Techmakers Google. The panel attended four main women: Olga Stavropoulou Marika Lambrou, Sandra Zafirakopoulou and Liana Gouta. They shared their experiences with the audience and focused on the need to break the stereotypes that prevent women from participating in science, technology and entrepreneurship. Solve the problem in accordance with the same comes through changes in basic social structures such as family, but also through the educational community in line with the labor market. A pleasant surprise was the presence of two young girls, who have announced their intention to create a group of women in the areas of information technology, in an effort to come closer to the fair sex of code generation and beyond. 

After the end of the break, the event moved to stand 14, the area features the Google Developers. There spokesman Mr. John Kotsifis Hackers Media, presented the group's activities. The main target of hackers Media is developing a flexible program of basic education for journalists in order to be better equipped to deal with new technologies. The joint venture was created specifically for the purpose of the project and includes eight experienced partners representing areas of journalism, journalism education, vocational education and training and advisory services in six Member States of the European Union.

Hacking as a Service: How much is hacking an account?

Hacking as a Service: There are many who may not be able to remember the days when HTML was written entirely by hand, as there are also many hackers, who can not remember when an exploit had to be built from scratch. The process of piracy has remained illegal, but seems to have become easier to use. Combining this fact with the increase in the number of online transactions, created fertile ground for the growth of the informal economy. 

With sophisticated exploit kits, free tools, botnets and hackers for hire, has become relatively easier than before could only be done by skilled hackers. We have created an illegal market that anyone can buy and sell malware, exploits, botnets, credit card information, zero-day vulnerabilities (for which no patch available) for all popular operating systems or applications and services such as the attack and destruction of a website or execution attacks DDoS site. How, then, operates through this market? 

As software as a service (SaaS) transforms the way we access applications, so the hacking as a Service (Haas) makes it easy for attackers. 

Piracy as a service 

Economically, the cost required to hire a hacker is similar to that required for hiring any other professional. The time spent by hackers and determines their remuneration, since it takes more time to complete the process of attacking the higher your rate. A simple DDoS attack or some malicious links SEO might cost only $ 100, while rats as Blackshades or renting a botnet could cost between $ 250 to $ 500 The complete control of a ZeuS botnet as the management and control of potential can vary from $ 20,000. 

Since the hackers apparently will not wait until you request its services to seek economic benefits, usually in search of income through the sale of exploit toolkits. Initially toolkits sales were not as profitable as before buy, download and be resold, can bring benefits to the developers stopped. Blackhole kit tools solved this problem by introducing a model of service updates, so that the user can be supported, new features and new zero-day attacks, provided you have subscribed to the original developer. Developers turn to invest some money to find and create new features and exploits the toolkit. Exploit kits as Metasploit open source you can download free. 

There are different specializations among hackers; 

As with the "legitimate" and ethical and IT / security professionals network, hackers hackers have specialties. There may be some who are experts in the planning and creation of viruses or Trojans, just as there are security professionals who specialize in creating signatures to detect this type of malware and participate in the creation of antivirus / antimalware products. There are probably others who have experience in identifying vulnerabilities in software or systems functioning. There may be others who have experience rape or networking websites. This industry is so diverse and the list of security certifications networks, IT managers are trying to acquire to become more expert. 

What is the solution? 

As observed costs may be relatively low, have caused significant damage, although they have significantly reduced barriers so anyone can act voluntarily. In the IT administrator one hand, this situation should not lead to resignation, but seeking new ways to protect smart. In general, to ensure that all software patches have been updated and complete information about new trends in the industry are an important principle. Speaking of trends, make sure you are in contact with the competent authorities if they are victims of a botnet attack. Symantec's work in this field has led to several strikes against botnets so far. 

It is important that users are trained to know how to protect your data. Network administrators must inform you that you have to avoid clicking on email links that do not know or avoid opening attachments you do not recognize. Also, managers should prohibit "pirated" software and conduct awareness classes to keep users informed. 

Editor's Note: This information is not available to help you compare the market or to encourage you to participate in illegal activities, but to better understand what facing IT managers and administrators. The pricing provided is not mentioned anywhere in particular, but the time spent on these activities.

Reddit Launched Support HTTPS for all Pages

The Reddit launched support HTTPS for all pages using CloudFlare, a popular CDN service and DNS. The move means that all the users can now use encrypted connections when browsing the site. 

For those not familiar, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a secure communication protocol. Despite the name, however, is not technically a protocol of its own, as it consists of the SSL / TLS protocol with a layer of HTTP. 

All your communications today, including authentication credentials, and your most cookies, will not be visible to attack man-in-the-middle. 

This is due to the fact that the policy used by Reddit is to redirect any non-HTTPS requests containing your credentials to HTTPS. The company, however, says that this will not work for everyone, because it "can not force them to use client API, such as mobile applications or bots, or some older browsers, use this setting.

The nude photos of celebrities catapulted the share of Apple!

Can the loss of nude photos of beautiful women and famous as Jennifer Lawrence, Rianne, Ariana Grande, Kate Upton, Kim Kardashian and many others to be shocked on the other side of the Atlantic, but this does not apply to Apple itself. 

The stock of the company when it was announced that the issue has been resolved, jumped to a record 103, $ 74, an increase of 1%, despite the fact that the reported loss caused by the accounts of certain names in iCloud. 

According to the results of the internal investigation of the technology giant, which lasted 40 hours, this "targeted attack" exposed to risk accounts only some names but not detected signs of tampering on the storage system iCloud. 

A virus of 2009 has found the "backdoor" of the system 

The problem, according to experts presumably caused by the virus called "ibrute" who took a weakness in the "Find my iPhone". 

The iBrute created in 2009, when he lost 32 million usernames and passwords up to the creators to reach the 500 most common combinations that published in the particular websites. 

Probably, therefore, what they had achieved so far unknown hackers using virus was to find the appropriate codes constantly looking for new "solutions" possible to find a fair and gain access to personal photos of actors and other celebrities as well. 

E 'possible to use absolute immunity? 

As he wrote in Time magazine presents "the only effective way to protect yourself 100% on the internet is not to use it" But because we are in the 21st century and this is nearly impossible, experts conclude in five basic steps for protection. : 

• Use unique passwords and different on all devices 

• Use your choice of identification in two phases, if available. This option exists in iCloud from Apple, Google and Gmail, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft PayPayl. 

• Turn off automatic "upload" photo. 

• Especially for the iCloud the only safe procedure requires first of "close" a service for iPhone, namely the substance is not used. Then you need to delete the folder of photos from photos you do not want to be exposed. The next step is to "close" a pc in iCloud clearing these services does not want to "share" the internet. 

• Turn the locking services on the mobile phone and the bills 

The operating system of the phone as well as companies such as Apple continually progresses "corrections" that protect against such problems.

The scene of bougelomatos with ice water eventually ended up fashion, without any connection with fundraising efforts for research of the disease. Thus, ordinary citizens bougelonontai pulling the scene on video and then upload to the internet. 

Can this whole process that resembles the Ice Bucket Challenge but it helps sufferers of the disease. But it can help the police to apprehend criminals. Provided that these criminals are not that smart.
