The Trivial Way to Hack and Reprogram Your Unconscious

Your unconscious is outside your awareness, but it’s not outside your control. It’s a strange quirk of psychology that most of our minds are invisible to us. Even stranger is how easy it is to influence our inner black boxes. But it’s not as simple as thinking thoughts and hoping they’ll stick. We’ve all had moments when we’ve consciously decided to do something – hit the gym, eat a vegetable, be more present – only for it to not happen. In other words, not all conscious thoughts influence your unconscious. If you want to lead a different life, the art of unconscious reprogramming is worth knowing. Change comes quickly and easily when it reaches your unconscious mind. In fact, think about how you were ten or 20 years ago. Most of the problems that plagued you are nothing to you now. You’ve grown, changed and become stronger since then. And most of those changes happened outside your awareness. You simply woke up one day and realised ...

Penetration Testing Jobs - A Valuable Online Resource

Prestigious companies and organisations, precisely because of their relative success and high profiles, always need to be on the lookout for IT security threats. Furthermore, they are not being over-cautious – far from it. During 2011, the UK government published a report stating that cybercrime was costing the economy some 27 billion pounds a year. Businesses took most of the hit, with losses to business standing around 21 billion pounds a year. Indeed, 2011 is sometimes reported as being the worst year in modern computing history for security breaches of high-profile companies. As a consequence, enterprises are increasingly taking preventative measures, including penetration testing. Indeed, there are often plenty of penetration testing jobs available if you happen to be in the market for one of these roles. Penetration testing is the process of simulating a hacking attack or other security breakdown on a company server in order to expose vulnerabilities, which can then be addre...

Can a Cyber Hacker Group, Malware Team, or Internet Virus Spreader Just Disband and Quit?

Malicious and show-off style hacking is questioning the trust of online communication, identity privacy, and e-commerce. Governments, Corporations, Militaries, HGOs, and citizens alike are worried – as well they should. It seems sometimes there is no safe computer system anywhere in the world, even as the world moves to securers cloud data-centers. As the authorities hunt down the hackers and catch some, there appear to be plenty more to take their place, and plenty of ISPs to hide behind or use in their tricks. So far, looking at the score board, it looks as if the hackers, cyber terrorists, and rogue nation cyber-commands are winning, while the users, IT departments, corporations, and governments are losing. Yes, the hackers have put egg on the faces of some of the top computer security firms, and made them look silly, incompetent, and unable to secure their systems. There was an interesting article in the mainstream media, and on MSNBC discussing how the Lulz Sec Hacker Group c...

Computer Hacking Methods and Protection

Protecting your computer against hacking is different from protecting it against viruses that you accidentally or unknowingly invite into your computer that then cause damage in one form or another. Anti-hack is about protecting your computer against external entities that are deliberately trying to get into your computer to cause damage and to steal from you – or cause damage. Viruses are impersonal and hacking is personal. Anti-Hack software is now out there for sale in addition to anti-virus software. These products protect you in ways that anti-virus software does not. Following are some examples. DoS (Denial of Service) Attacks: DoS attacks occur when too much traffic is directed to your company website at once. The web server essentially ‘chokes’ on the amount of traffic trying to squeeze into it’s network hardware. Attack scripts are easily downloadable and you do not need to be an experienced engineer to launch an attack. Upset customers seeking some sort...
