Most notorious Hackers on Facebook

Morning some “unix Shell coderr” ( none other than Kissle Group), displayed some face book application and created panic around community, saying anyone can hack any Face Book account and own it. Now think the reparations of this, all script kiddies were trying their level best to hack possible best FB accounts and I am sure CatTechie account is the juiciest account at this moment, and all were trying hard to hack her. Some kiddies landed asking me the tricks and I was shocked to see the irresponsible behavior of Barkha, unix and Kissle team, most absurd presentation on public wall of social community.

Why are we forgetting there are some media people are around, specially Cat like people can create news out of any damn subject and over hype the same for by adding any nuisance value to it. I know tomorrow she will blog about me as she blogged about that poor cat hacker. She just need subject, that’s all. Assume some media makes hype of this news and publishes it, how much panic you are creating in common public? You are simply horrifying everyone. And if face book slams legal action against you or cyber crime takes action against you for creating paranoid situation in country will you be spared? Because of your little stupid gimmick you are putting entire community under scanner. Why?

Any ways it’s just dumb publicity... it’s probably a facebook app written in unix shell scripting, a geeky idea if implemented in a better way:  All your mails and face book are secure. It’s just that he created a s/w to read face book feeds and messages on a cli..  And is publicizing it by saying he hacked it : why facebook is quite because even they know its noobish xD You can write on this... that how noobish the people are. Your each activity is monitored by facebook. And if this way one can compromise some ones account then its, they at threat not common public or account holder. In the recent past this particular group has hacked many people’s personal accounts by all cheapest means. And if someone wants to take action they can very well be prosecuted.

Creating panic, with the resulting added risk of personal injury, To check the spread of such wild rumours can be booked under section 505(1)(b) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), relating to statements conducing to public mischief. Punishment can be anything, when you are a hacker then you will be definitely charged under greave offence. Face Book will slap defamatory that’s different. Stop these wall displays of your unlawful skills.

In other hand, guys like Andhra Hackers, Rahul Tyagi and Javed khan are using these skills to educate people and creating awareness by conducting seminars across the country. They are the actual performers, at the so called registered owners of ICA are displaying their immaturity and tarnishing the image of hackers. One group 100 fake profiles, just chaos around community nothing else, One more thing I would like address script kiddies, if this would have been worked so far there are many people would have been hacked and even applying the same method the other rival group would have hacked these displayers too. Hacking is education and worships it. Hacker is inventor, don’t get bad name to community by your immature activities.

Outlaws of Technology!

I n order to study the comparison the between the hackers and crackers, it is important to understand the respective definitions. While apparently the words hacking and cracking seems synonymous, yet there exist certain points of distinctions between the two and the meaning of the words will always be heated topics of debate. Since the very dawn of the civilization, man's hunger to attain the unattainable have went on opening new horizons in almost every aspects of life, and the technology is of no exception to this nature of human. A cracker is a technical person who has mastered the art of breaking systems, often not for acquiring knowledge, by the dint of few programs and softwares used as tools. They are more interested in the system's security without the need of great deal of knowledge, thereby not benefiting much. On the other hand, a hacker who cracks and hacks systems is not only interested in breaking the security of the system but also in knowing about the system's details, by which he gains much more than by simply cracking systems. Unlike a cracker, a hacker generally does not have intention destroy data maliciously or to steel things. A cracker who is often termed to be a cyber burglar brings out significant harm to the network or steels the information like passwords or credit card numbers. A Trojan is capable enough to recognize and record even every single keystroke that you make. Hence even if you do not store any personal or financial records in your system, the hackers can still be able to obtain the information by recognizing the keystrokes.The computer hackers actually trespass or circumvent artistically, yet scientifically into the other computer system with a hunger to know the programmable systems, how they perform and their internal structures, while cracking is slight different in sense. Cracking means to break off the computer's security system. This is a subject matter of hard-core science with an aesthetic undertone of artistic skill that has attracted a few millions of teenagers and young adults all over the world. Delving deep into the concepts, we can compare the hackers and crackers. A hacker is a person who commits the fraudulent act or the penal offense of exploring into the other computers in order to know the details of the programmable system and how they work. On the other level, a cracker is a person just more secretive as compared to the hacker. The cracker breaks through the system's security and proves to be far more dangerous than the hackers who just quench his or her thirst by simply discovering the workings of a system. Hence the crackers can potentially be much more perilous as compared to the hackers. While it is often believed that the hacking is simply exploring into the other computer system with an intention to know how the programmable system works, which is not a fraudulent task unless any sort of vandalism and theft is done by this, another huge section stands strictly against the view and look at the act from the view point of a crime.

Top five IT companies to hire 1.8 lakh persons in 12 months, says Infosys

Indian IT sector seems to have come back to its record-breaking hiring days, with a top industry player Infosys projecting up to 1.8 lakh employees being hired by the five largest companies alone this year. “Growth is back and most companies are hiring in large numbers again. The top five companies are estimated to hire 1,60,000 to 1,80,000 new employees in the next 12 months,” Infosys CEO Kris Gopalakrishnan said here. Such large-scale hiring activities were last witnessed in 2007 by Indian IT companies, after which they had to cut back on hiring and even prune their existing headcount to cope up with the economic slowdown. “In 2008, the industry saw growth coming down to single digit. Most IT companies stopped hiring employees and stopped expanding,” Mr. Gopalakrishnan said at a discussion on ’sustainable Development Strategies’ organised by College of Architecture here last evening. Mr. Gopalakrishnan said that the growth was now back in the sector and the companies were expanding their headcount. He further said, “The IT industry has grown fast over the last 15 years. For example, the industry had about 1.50 lakh employees in 1993, around five lakh employees in 1999 and today, the industry employs around 2 million employees.” The highest-ever hiring in the IT space was seen in 2007, when more than four lakh jobs were created in Indian IT space by all the companies together. After that, the hiring fell to 2.5 lakh people in 2008 and further down to 1.5 lakh in 2009 and then just above one lakh in 2010. Industry estimates suggest that the overall hiring in India by all the IT companies together during 2011 could exceed or at least match the levels of 2007.

Besides Indian IT firms, global giants like IBM, Accenture and HP have also been hiring aggressively in the country in the past. Mr. Gopalakrishnan said that multinational corporations were also looking to India to expand their markets and to create back office function and many of them are looking at Tier II and III cities to expand. Emphasising the significance of infrastructure development in growth of these cities, he said an effective mechanism is essential to implement various development strategies. “Industry bodies, relevant NGOs, civic bodies must all have a role to play. For example, industry bodies will be able to mobilise participation by experts. Industry will be able to provide project and programme management expertise. Civic leaders will be able to mobilise public opinion. Thus I believe there is a higher chance of the initiatives getting implemented,” Mr. Gopalakrishnan said.
