Benchmark positions the best Androids for gaming, Nexus 6 and Note 4 lead the pack

Friday, December 12, 2014 -

Future mark, the producers of the famous cross-stage illustrations benchmark set 3d Mark, has recorded the main 100 Android gaming entertainers for December, and the results are out and out completely anticipated.

The initial three spaces are possessed by NVIDIA's bursting K1 chipset, and afterward it’s all Snapdragon 805, 801 and Exynos until the eye can see. The first run through a Mediatek chipset (in the Meizu Mx4) pops, is at the late 84th place in the main 100 positioning, while Huawei's Kirin silicon is not a contender there, as it may not by any means be improved to run said representation benchmark.

Concerning individual telephones, Nexus 6 leads the pack, emulated by some other Snapdragon 805-prepared handsets, in the same way as the Galaxy S5 4g+, Motorola Droid Turbo, and the different emphases of the Galaxy Note 4/Note Edge phablets. Interestingly enough, two Snapdragon 801 gadgets - the Oppo Find 7a and Asus Padfone S - squirm their path in the main 10, as well.

4 secrets of sacred hacker you need to know

Friday, December 5, 2014 -

You often use a Wi-Fi hotspot or wireless access point that has encryption so that you feel safe? Do not be swayed simply because hackers want you to believe that you are protected so that you will remain vulnerable to attack.

Here are 4 secrets "sacred" hackers that they expect will not be known to the victim. If you know the secret below they may not be able to get into your network or computer.

Curious what the secret? More details, see below.

1. Penetrating WEP Encryption

Encryption Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) could not protect your wireless network completely. WEP can be penetrated by hackers in a matter of minutes, which means the WEP encryption only gives a false sense of security.

Hacker "beginner’s class" or a beginner can even beat base WEP security quickly, so basically WEP encryption cannot be used as a protection mechanism.

Moreover, many people downloading their wireless router settings and never change wireless encryption over the years from WEP to WPA2 security of new and more powerful. Updating your router to WPA2 is a fairly simple process. Visit the official website of your wireless router product to obtain instructions.

2. Breaking the MAC Filter

Using a wireless router to filter Media Access Control (MAC) to prevent unknown devices join your network is not effective and easily penetrated.

Each IP-based devices, whether computer, gaming systems, printers, and so definitely has a unique MAC address code in the network. Many routers that allow you to permit or deny network access to devices that have a MAC address.

Wireless router check the MAC addresses requesting device that wants to get into the network and comparing it or rejected. This sounds like a super tight security mechanisms. But the problem hackers can create fake MAC addresses that can easily be allowed to get into your network.

All you need do is to use the package program to "sniff or eavesdrop" wireless traffic and see the MAC addresses across the network. The program can then be set to match the MAC address is allowed into the network.

3. Aims Router Remote Controlled

Many wireless routers have a setting that allows you to manage the router via a wireless connection. This means you can access all security router settings and other features without having to be in the computer connected to the router using an Ethernet cable.

Although the setting is very effective to manage the router from a distance, but on the other hand provides a loophole for hackers to steal your security settings and make them more freely frolic in your network

Moreover, many people never change their wireless router admin password, which allows hackers to break into your network. It is recommended to disable the management of a wireless router so that only you can manage the wireless router settings.

4. Reconnaissance Public Hotspot Wi-Fi free

Hackers can use tools like Firesheep and AirJack to attack where they broke into a wireless conversation between sender and receiver. Once they made it into the lines of communication, they can steal your account password, read e-mail, and view your instant messages.

They can even use tools like SSL Strip to get passwords of websites that you visit. For that service providers use Virtual Private Network (VPN) to protect all commercial traffic you when using a Wi-Fi network (not a public Wi-Fi hotspots are free).

Secure VPN provides an additional security layer that is very difficult to penetrate. Thus, hackers go after other targets are more easily compromised.

4 signs Android smartphone infected by malware

Thursday, December 4, 2014 -

The rapid growth of Android Smartphone users attracted the attention of the perpetrators of cybercrime. So no wonder if the ecosystem of malware and viruses in circulation makes the majority of Android devices as a primary target.

According to the survey results of computing security firm Trend Micro, in 2013 and then, one of the 10 suspected Android devices infected with malware. That number is now predicted to continue to increase along with the increasing sophistication of the mode and type of malware that spread.

Malware become so dangerous because it was created to not only damage the device performance, but also to steal users' personal data recorded on the device. The danger again, now many malware manifold 'botnet' Navigable hackers to spread from a distance.

Curious whether you have contracted the Android Smartphone malware or not? Here are four symptoms that indicate if you have Android Smartphone malware infiltrated evil:

1. Internet data packets wasteful
Malware generally arise from fraudulent sites that will continue to direct you to a page promo sites that are not clear. This condition makes your internet data packets quickly exhausted. In addition, some types of malware will automatically take control of your email to send many messages contain other malware to your contact list. In some cases also be sent via SMS, which means your pulse will also quickly exhausted.

2. Performance decreases
Malware running as an illegal program in the background of your device. It does not look it, but in fact your cell phone continues to work even if you're not doing anything. This causes the device performance sag.

3. Battery wasteful
Along with declining performance, the battery will also be wasteful because your device continuously operating unnoticed.

Why Android need 3 GB RAM and iOS only 1 GB for maximum performance?

Monday, November 17, 2014 -

One thing that many smartphone users in question is why Android phones require at least 2-3 GB of RAM to be able to run applications smoothly, whereas only 1 GB iOS phones are able to perform to the maximum.

Well, according to Quora, it is because Android applications using Java. By using Java comes a process called "garbage collection", which is tasked to clean the RAM memory of the data that is not used. The problem is that the garbage data collection requires at least 4-8 times the total capacity of the memory used by the application is currently running, the size is used so that the elimination of junk data can be done very quickly.

So, the more you open or run the application the more junk data that must be cleaned when you shut down the application and if the amount of memory required is insufficient phone you will feel slow.

So what about the IOS ?. Well, unlike Android, iOS does not use garbage collection system or data collection related to Java garbage on the operating system. So, armed with 1 GB of RAM memory iOS smartphones are able to exceed the performance of Android smarphone.

Why Android need 3 GB RAM and iOS only 1 GB for maximum performance?

So....! Now you already know what the difference is?
