Yesterday, I got a few twitter notifications where electrum warned about using of "Electron Cash". What is "Electron Cash" ? It's a lightweight HD wallet for "Bitcoin Cash", very likely to "electrum". There is a potential risk of losing your original Bitcoins if you are currently using electrum and if you install both "electrum" and "electron cash" on the same PC. Because, it copies all your "electrum wallet files" into its own directory. And it's too dangerous to use your original "electrum seed" into "electron cash" to import your existing BTC wallets. In addition its binary files are signed with a pseudonym  "Jonald Fyookball".  I'm astonished that why the creator or developer group want to hide their real identities and wanna keep them as anonymous. If a huge amounts of BTC are stolen via "electron cash" then there will be no chance to trace them. Although,...

In my previous post  https://steemit.com/programming/@royalmacro/a-free-open-source-data-encryption-program-for-steemit-users  I share a data encrypton tool with source code, now, today here I share another program, a strong password generator with source code. This program will generate strong, hard-to-guess passwords. I’ll do it by hashing together “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key”. If you use the same secure master key for every password generations then you do not need to write down or, memorize your generated passwords. When you need your password then repeat the same procedure to re-generate it. If your “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key” are not different then you will generate the same password. If you use only one secure master key then you have to only memorize your master key, not the passwords. Lets try it ! Step by Step Development : Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”. ...

There are about 8% people of total population in the world are colorblinds. And there is currently no treatment for colorblindness. To help these helpless people Microsoft took a great step by developing a new app called “ Color Binoculars “.  Tom Overton , an engineer at Microsoft Inc has developed this useful app. He is also a colourblind.  image credit How does Color Binoculars work ?  The application “Color Binoculars” utilizes the cell phone’s camera to adjust colours appropriately so that the frame could show up clearer to colourblind people. There are three modes in this app to eliminate three major types of colourblindness - red/green, blue/yellow and green/red. The application additionally has an option to cripple colour correction in order to view the difference and contrast between the images. This would give the individual a thought regarding how a non-color blind and a color blind will see the image. image credit  According to Microsof...

A free open source data encryption program for steemit users Hello, everyone this is my first software sharing for Steemit Community. I developed a software (programmed in Visual Basic 8) for encrypting any text data. It’ll play a vital role on Steemit Community, because, on Steemit Platform we need a very long passphrase to be saved. It’s impossible to memorize this passphrase. And, it’s also very dangerous to write down this passphrase in the notepad. There are too many free password keepers & encryption programs, but, maximum are not open-source. My main objective is to provide such type open-source program. I use  AES Rijndael Block Cipher Encryption Algorithm  to encrypt text data. Step by Step Development : Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”.   Create two text boxes & two command buttons on the form. Text1 textbox, Text2 textbox, Command1 commandbutton & Command2 commandbutton.    Chan...

image credit In this week a research group of Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection system, recognized a few attacks being carried out against a software update system whose name has not been revealed.  However, it is confirmed that the compromised software is a well-known editing application. And the vendor of this software also experienced attacks. The research team said that after successfully compromised  the software update system, the attackers were able to  gain remote access to targeted computers with which they executed malwares in the system.  How was the attack carried out ? This Microsoft's researcher team stated that the attackers utilized PowerShell scripts consolidated with the Meterpreter reverse shell, which allowed them to silently invade the target and without letting users know that his or her system was being hacked. Likewise, similar methods have been utilized previously to to carry out some high-profile attacks. Altair Tec...
