Story of cloud storage security

Story of cloud storage security

By Kajal Majhi   1:21 PM   No comments:

The recent phenomenon of compromising the cloud account of Hollywood stars and leaking their private pictures around the internet , has been the hottest topic from last few days. As this incident has tickled the medulla of website moderators , security analytics and cloud service provider  that what to do. Really it is a million dollar question “What to do? “   Because it is the matter about security and privacy of the users.

Yes we can do a lot of things , but there is an one strong point which everyone should know. “Nothing is 100% secured in the internet”  Not mine, not yours and nor even the geeks who designs security protocols .  Internet is the game of codes, hardware, connectivity and we users . The things we human knows to build , does also know to break it, If it is not possible by punctual manner then there are lots of hammering and destructive way to break it.

Understanding the cloud storage

Cloud storage service has been built to bring flexibility of data sharing and migration anytime and anywhere. Once you upload your data then you can retrieve it from anywhere in the world. You don’t have to carry your own storage device , you just need an computing device with an internet connectivity .

So, here I have a question, where does you upload your files?

Sorry, don’t get me wrong,  but I have to say this.  Point to the line above “you don’t have to carry your own storage device” . So you are uploading your data to someone else’ storage media isn’t it? Where you don’t have any idea and control other than accessing your files and configuring your account’s digital security.  You don’t know where the storage media is,  about the physical security in the data warehouse of cloud service provider and so on. Its like handing over your important things to someone else.

Is your cloud account secured?

Keeping the point in mind “Nothing is secured in the internet” . But there are lots of way by which we can prevent or extend the duration to crack the security . Almost every cloud service provider has multiple security option some of them are by default and few of them have to configure by the user itself.

Two step authentication is one of the most important security measures that should be adopted by everyone , for not only your could account but also for your email and social accounts. In dual step authentication , first you have to enter your primary password and then the server will send you a text with a code, that’s your secondary password.

Authenticate by generating code using your smartphones cloud apps.

Pincode : It is generally generated once during enabling this feature. You will need to remember this incase you have enabled dual step authentication but you don’t have your cellphone with you.

Security question : Never choose an security question and answer which are know by anyone other than you.

Enable the SSL encryption.  Many cloud service has SSL by default and few have to configure by the user itself that he wants SSL encryption or not.

Secure your computer first

What is your primary computing device? Your laptop, desktop, tablet, iPad, or smartphone?  Do a proper maintenance of your device on a regular basis. Don’t keep the unusual applications and programs as it may bring security flaws.  Use a total security program consist of anti virus, anti malware, firewall , spam/phishing detection system etc. Do the updates of your operating system once in a month to get security patches .

Apart from these, spend your little more precious time over internet to learn about worms, malware, virus and information security threats . It will help you to deal with daily life phenomenon.

How is your smartphone?

Smartphone is one of the most important daily life gadgets , without it we feel like we are out of this living world isn’t it?  Yes it is,  it has more secret information than your social id does and can be the target for your competitors and malicious hackers.  Never Jailbreak or root your smartphone if you want to keep it safe. Root and Jailbreak can break the security level of your smartphone and becomes vulnerable to information security threats.  Keep a security program in your smartphone , by which you can wife the storage remotely if you ever lose it.

Few lines from my opinion.

Cloud storage is great innovation and technology for this developing IT infrastructure of this world. You can backup your data for emergency purpose, you can share work and office documents with clients and workmates , and much more. But I don’t recommend it keep your extreme private data on cloud storage as cloud storage device are not managed by yourself . If it’s the matter for your extreme privacy and security then there is no safer storage device  in the world other than your own isolated hard drive.

Did you get bored? Sorry about this :)  please express your anger by dropping your comment below :)

Farewell to Orkut

By Kajal Majhi   1:42 PM   No comments:

Farewell message from Google

Ten years ago in 2004 Google had emerged into the community into social networking with ‘ORKUT’  and it had created a massive popularity in many countries  ,  Orkut was running well with massive users until Facebook emerged globally with a hug  popularity, it has not only replaced Orkut but many other popular social networking sites like Myspace, Friendster etc.
 And finally Google thinks it’s the time to shut down Orkut on 30^th September 2014.

Now a days Facebook is ruling the social networking community, many of us have forgotten about Orkut, and the younger generation may be not knowing what is Orkut,

What is Orkut?

A short introduction for those who don’t know about this :
Orkut is a (was a after 30^th September 2014) Social networking site lunched by Google on 22^nd January 2004. The website was name after its’ creator ‘Orkut Buyukkokten’ .  It has the features like Messages, Instant chat, Scraps, photo albums, community and forums etc. It has been esteemed as the major social networking sites for countries like Brazil, India, Pakistan etc  and It was having huge users about 100 million until it was thrashed by  competitors by 2010. But due to massive competition and social networking features of other social networking sites gradually people loosed their interests over Orkut and migrated to its competitors like  Facebook.

Screenshot of Orkut.com

                

People who are still active the active users of Orkut , they can export their Orkut account’s date such as Testimonials , Scraps , Photo albums , messages via Google Takeout within 30^th September 2014. It is important to preserve your important data before you lose it. Although Google told that, they will archive the communities but it is important to take screen grabs as it lose the Orkut essence.

Social networking sites leaves many memories , where we spark our chat, where we talk more than we do in our real life, where we share more . The first every Social networking site that I have signed up is orkut when I was just 17.  I made some good friends, I meet with them in real life, many of them has now became like my best buddies .  Thank you Google & Orkut for all those memories.

Here is a message from Engineer and Director of Orkut :
“It's been a great 10 years, and we apologize to those still actively using the service. We hope people will find other online communities to spark more conversations and build even more connections for the next decade and beyond.”

So, what are you going to remember about Orkut? I have a lots of memories .

Power of cloud computing

Power of cloud computing

By Kajal Majhi   5:10 PM   No comments:

Technologies has pulled the world into a modern era , where internet has become our primary source to connect around the globe. From last two decades internet has played a vital role to pull the mode of communication, data transfer and work in the most advance way as it possible.

You know, we have fully adopted the technologies for our daily life, and when our life changes then the mode of our requirement changes too. The emergence of new generation computers, smartphones, tablets has brought an evolution in computing and world wide web.  I think you are already using the cloud computing service if you are using web based mail services such as Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail etc, through which you can access the email services from any device having a internet connectivity and from anywhere in the world.

So, What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is delivery of computer resources over internet rather than storing those resources in our own personal computers. Cloud service allows us to use the software and hardware resources that are managed by third parties (cloud service provider) at remote location.  We can use the cloud computing service over internet from any location. We can retrieve our data and information from anywhere in the world being connected with cloud service.

Imagine you are running a company where each and every employee need a computer system and some software installed in their allocated system and who have to purchase licenses for those software. If you manage your own centralized database for your company then , you need system administrators , high storage space, server maintenance ,system cooler,  security, uninterrupted power supply and so on. If there is a new updates in the server’s  software & system then the entire system workstations will go down until they don’t get supportive update packages. 

You are already using some cloud computing services such Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, Facebook,  online file hosting service etc, do you need any updates? Do you need to run them by burning your own electricity? Do you have a technical team to keep on eyes on these? Do you need security enhancement every month? Its NO, all it gets automatically and you don’t have to worry about anything. That’s the pros features of cloud computing.

So, what if instead of running your own system and servers , let the third party company host the applications, storage spaces , hardware and other services for you, then  you don’t  have to worry about security, upgrades & updates, technical team etc., you have to pay only for those things you will use as a monthly subscriptions, no extra charges, no maintenance and upgrade expenditures , you will receive upgrades automatically . The only thing you and your employees will need is a cloud computing interactive software , just log in and get started.
The cloud computing have almost every services from commercial apps, business apps, online  business and marketing systems , live collaboration system and much more. You can even demand a service from you cloud service providers.

The Power of cloud

I am in love with cloud computing because of its extensive features, the live collaborating system is amazing , especially when I am doing online study, its helps me to interact with my fellow mates and mentors   with hands on coding , sharing  and editing the same data at a once .
I feel   proud  that, I have achieved the certification of  Certified Android Developer and Certified HTML5 Developer through online mode and practicals on cloud platform. Its fun when more than one people work on the same file, its makes me feel more than a class room.

The cloud storage, where I keep my personal data as backup,  I had to face hard disk crashes, lost my smartphone , but cloud storage helped me to come out of those depression , where I feel my data are safe, I can access my data from anywhere whenever I need, I don’t need to carry a giant laptop or hard disk where it is unsafe , only an internet connection and a small device can retrieve my all the data I need.
There are some business and word processing apps are freely available at some cloud service , I use them which cut the cost of purchasing those software for my computer .

NOTE (the privacy policy):
The biggest concern about cloud computing is the privacy  policy because in this system we handle over our personal/commercial data to another companies. It is necessary to read the ‘privacy policy’ of the company whose’ cloud service you are going to use. There are few more things that you should be concern  such as, does the company who claims to provide cloud storage space actually own it? Does the company has enough data security system to protect the clients’ data? Does the company has enough physical security for the data warehouse? And much more.

Sometime you have to stop using the website if the internet stop working.

You can download  any entire website or single page of any website into your hard disk , so that you can access the content of the website in offline mode from your hard disk. You may save your favorite recipes , you can download some entire educative sites like W3school that have free resources , or you can download to get your hand dirty with the web programming codes :)
Don’t try this on giant website like Wikipedia, it will need some Tbs of space in your HDD.
You may download  the entire website or a single  selected web page , or you can download only the video , audio & image files by enabling the filter.

We have several ways to copy a website but the best & friendly option is by using a website copier software . So all you need the very popular download manager , IDM(Internet Download Manager) . If you don’t have IDM then you can go for HTTrack which has been specially programmed to copy web pages and freely available. You can grab them from the links below:
                IDM
                HTTrack

So lets get started with Internet Download Manager.

Enter a project name for example: My College Website
in the next  box enter the address of the website that you want to copy. Example: http://abcdweb.com
In the next option ‘custom template’  where you have to choose whether you want to download only the video files , audio files , images, all files in the website except web pages, complete website or leave it as custom settings and click next.

In the next window you have to select whether you want to save the files in the folders according to the file types, or save into a custom folder.  To prevent confusions you should save the files in a single folder, just click on ‘all files to the following folder’ and browse to select a folder. Click next and in the next window select ‘Explore the whole site’

In the next window you can filter the files that you want to download and the files that you don’t want to download.

what is two step Authentication

what is two step Authentication

By Kajal Majhi   10:05 PM   No comments:

Most of us know how to use the internet but most of us don’t know how to secure the internet.
In this cyber world, security is very essential,  because most of our daily life activities from sending personal and business E-mails , banking transactions , to our virtual world of social networking  are done online.
Having online security doesn't mean only for your online bank account, it is also for your  email account, social networking  website such as Facebook, twitter  etc. Because everyone is associated with each other directly or indirectly and among which your email account is the main key to every websites. Well..

 What is two Step Authentication ?
 Authentication is verifying your identity to the system by entering your  user id , password  and gain access to use the services of the system.  Where as to ensure more security, two step verification is verifying your identity in two steps. First step is by entering your User ID/Email ID and password, then second step is  verifying by something  that you always keep with you that proves that you are the real one. So in second step you always need your cell phone , in which the website will send you a code and you just need to enter the code and get full access.

I know it’s a bit of lengthy process as you have to keep your cell phone always with you and wait for a minute every time you try to log in and its makes you feel painful, because in the E-world we want everything quick and easy , but these things doesn't matter if you want to secure your online assets .

Imagine your friends know your Email ID and Password , and he want to access your account in your absence to spy on your personal feeds, then what? He will enter your first authentication data correctly but he will stuck at the second step when the system will ask him to enter the code that has been sent to your cell phone. Isn't helpful?

Most of our primary usage website have two step authentication system, like in Google, Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Apple , DropBox etc.

How to Set two step Authentication 

Lets start with Google account.
Just  goto your Google account at http://accounts.google.com then move to ‘security’ section and enable “2 step  verification”. All you need is your cell phone number , if its not verified then kindly verify it. All the options are there.

DropBox  2 step authentication
No doubt that dropbox is an important website for cloud storage for personal or commercial purpose and it needs security indeed, It also supports authentication by SMS . You can set the 2 step process from your account settings and then move to security section. Whenever you will use a new device you need the SMS code to gain full access into your account.
image source: flicker.com 

  

Twitter ‘Two factor verification’
Twitter call this process ‘two factor verification’ . You need a verified phone number to get started. Go to your twitter account settings , Select ‘required a verification code when I sign in’ then click on add phone and follow prompts. You will receive a six digit code whenever you try to log in.

Microsoft
They lunched this system recently and obviously  people need this in their Microsoft account because with only one account it gives the access to Xbox, Outlook, Hotmail, Dreamsparks, SkyPe and I don’t know how much more . To enable this system goto account settings move to “Security Info”  then click on “set up two step verification”

Facebook Login Approvals:
Facebook supports  code generated only from their own mobile apps. Offline . Go to your security settings , edit the ‘code generator’ .
You can enable the apps. Password to use a special password every time you use the Facebook mobile apps from your cellphone.

                                           

Secure your online world

Host website inside Google Drive

Host website inside Google Drive

By Kajal Majhi   10:59 AM   No comments:

Google provide us initial 15 GB (originally 5 GB) storage space, which can be use for cloud data storage, collaborative file editing like spreadsheets,   file sharing , google docs , we can use this space to synchronize our PC and much more.

You can host a simple website coded with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. But note that, server side  scripting like PHP and  ASP are not supported by Google Drive.  You can host some basic web pages written to provide some information or data to the  people .

Many Social Networking website like  Facebook that supports custom pages and should be served through HTTPS encryption , So Google serve with HTTPS encryption and you can use the drive to save your custom pages.You can also use it as your FTP server by hosting video, audio, software and other data.

Well to host your web pages , you have to create a new folder , change the accessibility of the folder from private to public, so that any one can access the data inside the public folder.
just follow the steps below…

Create a new folder

Right click , go to ‘share’.

Change the accessibility to ‘Public’




Now drag and drop your web pages inside the folder.

Right click on web page and open with Google drive viewer,

click on preview 

 copy the URL from address bar and share it with the recipients. You may also use the link shortener to shorten the link. Check my sample page that I have hosted in Google drive.

One more thing if you want to use the same webpages but host on a different domain then link the  pages by using a <iframe> tag.But make sure to make the Width and Height of the frame to 100%.
example:
<iframe style=”width:100%; height:100%;”  src=”https://www.googledrive.com/host/YOURURL”>

How to secure Facebook account

How to secure Facebook account

By Kajal Majhi   9:34 PM   No comments:

These days Facebook has became our primary junction for social networking and indeed our virtual world where we  spend our hours. But it is the e-world , then it is no doubt that hackers are all around us who steals our personal data for various reasons .   boyfriends and girlfriends are spying on each other’s account  is one of the strongest reason  of account being hacked.

Well let’s get into the point, how to secure your Facebook account.

PASSWORD:
Always use strong password consisting letters of upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters. For example ‘XatZp@4892’ .
Always create a weird password that must not exists in any dictionary, because hackers can attempt dictionary attack to gain access into your account.

Change your password after every two or three months and never use guessable password like your contact number, lover’s name,

Never disclose your password with anyone , not even with your loved ones.Don’t get in the trap of emotional blackmail of your dear ones that you don’t’ trust her/him. Because you may don’t know what is his/her  actual plan after knowing your password. Because your privacy is in your hand.

Most Important: Don’t use the same password at every other websites, because if a hacker gain access into any of your account , then no doubt he will try to access your other accounts too with the same login portal.

NOTIFICATION:
Register your cell phone number and enable Facebook notification so that, Facebook can notify you whenever someone access your account from other than your primary device.


SAFETY:Keep your contact number invisible to other people.

Whenever you use Facebook from public devices such as from school, college or offices’ computer , make sure that there is no keylogger installed in that system. Know more about Keylogger from here.
Whenever you get off the system , clear the browsing history and cookies of that web browser. A hacker can use those internet cookies to  attempt several hacking activities.

STAY AWAY FROM apps
Don’t use unusual Facebook apps. Because most of them are spam .

PROTECT YOUR SMARTPHONE:
We generally use our smartphone when we are away from Desktop or laptops to connect Facebook. There are lots of apps. Which are vulnerable for our device and can gather our data behind our eye sight.  Don’t use those apps which looks like spam or people have bad feelings about that. Download apps only from trusted place like Google Play store , Apple Apps store etc.

BEWARE OF PHISHING
Phished page are cloned page of any website, they looks real but actually they are not. These type of pages are generally used to collect login data. Imagine your friend sent you a link and asked you to login there and you will receive a good offer from that website, but in reality he want to fool you and collect your log in data.
So if you receive any link sent by your friends or any other person that asks you to log in there , beware! Know more about phishing here
Don’t click on unusual link sent by your friends or somewhere at wall.
 

The above things not only implies on facebook but for the security of every websites that you use in your daily life.
