Remote Administration Tools, or simply RAT, are extensive packages that can give experienced users complete control over targeted machines, without going through much hassle. Once infected, the attacker can freely and silently access private data, initiate transfers, record keystrokes, find out passwords, restart the computer and even open the CD/DVD tray. Amongst these “advantages”, remote control of one’s webcam is included. How can a Webcam be Used for Spying? As Ars explains, RAT tools firs appeared in 1998 at a white-hat hacker meeting, where Sir Dystic developed BackOrrifice, a primitive tool which could hack a computer and allow the master to log keystrokes, execute simple file transfers and restart the machine....

So which of the two Redmi devices is the one for you? Here is a rather quick comparison to help you make up your minds. Looks are more Note-able Their mum might be Redmi, but the Note 7 and Y3 follow very different design aesthetics. Yes, both have displays with drop notches, but the Y3 has a more curve-y back while the Note 7 has a relatively flat one. Both have different versions of the Aura finish, but although the Y3 is not an eyesore, we think the Note 7 seems just a little more premium thanks to the use of Gorilla Glass 5 on the back (the Y3 has a carbonate back)....

With tens of thousands of extensions spread across various categories, it can be challenging to find out the best Google Chrome extensions and manage them individually. Fortunately, there are extension managers — essentially extensions — that help you in managing your extensions quite effortlessly. In this guide, we will check out some of the best Chrome extension managers, along with steps to using one of these popular extensions. Why Do You Need an Extension Manager Given the fact that you will continue installing new extensions on your browser, managing them can turn into a tedious task over time....

Listen to Smartphone Music in Car and at Home If you ever wanted to do this, then feel relieved because it’s more simple then you might think. There are a few options that work with your existing audio system, the old fashioned one, with just a few modifications. Of course, newer models of car stereos or home audio systems already have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity and can be connected to many devices such as smartphones and tablets....

The smartphone shares a similar aesthetic to previous Coolpad products featuring a unibody metal design and a curved back. There’s a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS panel up front coupled with off-screen capacitive buttons. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s good old Snapdragon 653 octa-core processor, Adreno 510 GPU, 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage and a 4000 mAh non-removable battery. Unfortunately, you cannot expand the memory through an SD card....

Towards the end of the last year, Facebook announced some changes to their Privacy Policy and towards how they perceive users’ privacy. They would default the user profiles to be viewed by everyone, which means that anyone with a Facebook account can view your settings. It caused a huge uproar among some people, but I believe Facebook is just trying to give maximum control to the users on how they want different people to view their details on Facebook....

Well, mainly for reasons of interface. Analog Camera comes from Realmac Software, the folks who gave us the incredibly elegant to-do list app, Clear. And as in the case of Clear, Analog Camera wins our hearts as much for what it does as for the way in which it does it. It is a small enough download – 5.3 MB and as we said, comes with a price that is as close to a Dollar as can be....

But with all that factored in, we cannot understand why the company went for an event like the just-concluded Zen Festival at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi. Yes, we know that it is always good for a company to meet its fans and followers – we really wish that sort of thing happened more often, really. But we do not think that doing so from a stage in a massive hall works....

Anime Studio is essentially a 2D vector graphics drawing package linked to a keyframe animation engine. By no means limited to the Japanese style from which its name derives, Anime Studio can handle several different types of animation – including point and layer animation. But its main strength lies in its proprietary Bone animation method. This involves constructing a virtual skeleton for each character, the bones of which you then move around to make the character move....

If you are an Engineering student studying Computer science or Electronics or Telecommunication or any other professional technical courses, you are bound to refer to quality textbooks and/or lecture notes. Now, you don’t need to make a quick dash to the library every now and then for this purpose. All you have to do is search for the textbook on FreeTechBooks.com This site lists free online computer science, engineering and programming books, textbooks and lecture notes, all of which are legally and freely available over the Internet....

iOS 5.1 Features As it was reveiled during the event, we’ve got good news for Siri lovers in Japan, as it seems the engineers at Apple have managed to teach Siri Japanese. If you ask me, I can’t wait for the moment when Siri will know all the languages for the countries where it’s going to be available. Apple should really emphasize that aspect, as it would really boost their already incredible sales records....

If you are an Apple TV user, you can also grab iOS 5 for Apple TV (2nd gen models) now, which allows you to use AirPlay Mirroring. Make sure you have downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 before you try updating to iOS 5. You must expect flaky connections due to heavy demand for these Apple software all over the world. Moreover the update file is around 900 MB, so be prepared to get tested for your patience....

Update: Sn0wbreeze 3.1.3 v1.5.2 released The best part of Sn0wBreeze is the ability to preserve baseband which means if you’re on an older firmware (means you’ve 05.11.07 or older Baseband) and go to firmware 3.1.3 using Sn0wBreeze, you’ll then be able to unlock your iPhone 3GS, 3G and 2G . Sn0wBreeze 3.1.3 currently supports iPhones only. In order to jailbreak iPod Touches, you need to checkout redsn0w 0.9.4. iPod touch 3G is currently not supported by either of them....

At Technology Personalized, we can confirm that some of the accounts were indeed real and we could authenticate to Dropbox servers with a couple of account details. Since then, Dropbox seems to be forcing the account holders to do a password change for around 1250 accounts already leaked by the hacker. Sadly, this isn’t the first time Dropbox has been hacked. The popular cloud storage service had previously introduced 2-factor authentication for improved security, and it appears not many users bothered to enable it....

However, if you have accounts in double figures, remembering the password for every single one of them isn’t practical. As a result, many people end up using weak passwords or reusing the same password across multiple accounts—both of which are bad internet habits and must be avoided. A better way to approach this problem is to use a password manager on your computer or mobile device. But what exactly is a password manager, how does it work, and which password manager should you use?...

This move from Google could either mean that it is embracing the leak culture and walking closely alongside to cope up, or, it is trying to mock people until the launch day, and surprise them by coming up with a completely different design for the smartphone. Similar to its previous generations, Pixel 4 is also expected to come out in October. So, irrespective of what the motive behind putting out an image so early is, there are a few details that emerge on to the surface (based on the image), which could turn out to be true, if Google isn’t mocking and sticks to this design....

A few months back, Facebook introduced Libra (and the Calibra wallet), which is a blockchain-backed cryptocurrency that is expected to be available sometime around next year. But before we jump in and try to find a link between Libra and Facebook Pay, the company has clearly stated that “Facebook Pay is separate from the Calibra wallet which will run on the Libra network“, stating that the two services do not share any common grounds....

Its successor is a very different kettle of fish in that regard. Yes, it too has a respectable spec sheet (a 5.0-inch 720p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, 4G LTE support, 8.0-megapixel and 5.0-megapixel cameras), but unlike its predecessor, the Yuphoria does score in the looks department. No, we would not call its appearance unique – it reminds us very strongly of the Lumia 830 and Lumia 925 at different points- but at its price point (Rs 6,999/$110), it certainly is one of the most striking devices we have seen....

Apple iPhone X – the ‘tenth’ anniversary phone from Apple, which introduced a new design after a long time is going on sale during the Big Billion Days. It comes with an A11 Bionic Chip, dual rear cameras, and FaceID for authentication, which is also its USP. The phone will be available starting September 30 for a very attractive price of Rs 44,999 with discounts on credit and debit cards....

Bumptop 3D Desktop Organizer – Features Of course, you must be having enough RAM to spare for this beauty, and if you have that much memory then you can drag, pile and toss just like in Microsoft Surface. The best thing about BumpTop is that it works with touch-screen enabled computers running Windows 7 allowing you to use touch-gestures to perform these functions. It is developed by Anand Agarawala and it took him 2 years of beta testing before releasing the software to the public at TED 2009....
