  The best VPN service 2020
Posted by: sidemoon - 02-01-2020 , 12:18 AM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote: We'll help you pick from the best VPN options - and the rest.
Unfortunately, you shouldn't expect 2020 to be any different from previous years - getting the best VPN you can continues to be an essential piece of kit to keep your online life as safe and secure as possible.

And as well as being the ideal service to help you use the internet safely and get around blocked websites, the best VPN providers will also let you access the freshest films and shows in foreign Netflix catalogues, stream in safety, access geo-blocked websites and much, much more.


An abbreviation of Virtual Private Network, a VPN service allows you to change or 'spoof' your IP address to a secure server. That helps to make you more anonymous online and let's you effectively trick your laptop or mobile device into thinking it's in another location. It's no surprise that the best VPN options have become so popular, increasingly being used as a replacement for or in addition to traditional online security.

Dictionary Manager

[Image: oIztZbd.png]

Passware introduces a new built-in tool for managing dictionaries and wordlists used by the Dictionary attack. The tool allows users to compile custom dictionaries easily, sort, export, and import existing dictionaries, as well as edit, merge, and delete unnecessary dictionaries.

The Dictionary Manager also features a search option to locate a specific word in a dictionary file, and batch file processing.

Dictionary compilation is now up to 5x faster

We have updated the dictionary compilation algorithm, and it now works up to 5 times faster than before! For example, a 5 GB text file is now compiled by Passware Kit in less than 2 minutes. Multiple dictionaries can also be compiled in batch mode in the new Dictionary Manager.

A new “Mixed order” option for “Join Attacks” group

When joining attacks to recover different parts of a password, users can specify the order of attacks in the group: original, original and reverse, and mixed.

Support for VeraCrypt GPT system encryption

Passware Kit is now able to detect system partitions of Guid Partition Table (GPT) disks encrypted with VeraCrypt and further decrypt these by analyzing a corresponding memory image. Brute-force password recovery for such partitions is also supported.

Faster memory analysis process for VeraCrypt decryption

Passware Kit automatically detects the operating system by analyzing a memory image and runs only OS-specific processes for VeraCrypt key extraction, thereby reducing the time spent on decryption.

Instant BitLocker decryption with a known VMK

If a Volume Master Key is known or has been recovered previously, Passware Kit decrypts the given BitLocker volume instantly – no need to analyze the memory image again.

FileVault2: password hint extraction and support for recovery keys

Passware Kit now instantly extracts and displays password hints for FileVault2 accounts and recovers a system recovery key, if one exists. In case the recovery key is known, Passware Kit instantly decrypts the FileVault2 volume.

Passwords extraction from Windows systems protected with PIN/Picture password

Passware Kit adds support for Windows 10 and 8 standalone systems protected with Windows Hello: PIN or Picture password. It recovers the user PIN or Picture password and extracts passwords and other data from the registry.

Passware Kit Forensic 2020.1.1 changelog:

Bugfixes:
Dictionary Manager improvements
Resolved occasional error in Dictionary Manager during dictionary compilation
Some UI changes for Windows Hello passwords extraction
Resolved "Previous passwords" attack for some PGP WDE images

After Encryption Analyzer has listed the encrypted items, you can sort them according to their decryption complexity by clicking the “Recovery Complexity” column.

You can also find images of hard disks encrypted with TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt, PGP, BitLocker, LUKS, etc. All you have to do is to make sure that the option “Scan for encrypted containers and disk images” is enabled

[Image: 7nLINPu.png]

The built-in incremental search option can be used to narrow down the set of files to work with. After the analyzer completed  the encrypted evidence, you can find and display files by name, encryption type, or decryption complexity.

[Image: 3HXJx3q.png]

Full Disk Encryption:

Passware Kit  Forensic decrypt hard disks encrypted with BitLocker, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt, LUKS, FileVault2, McAfee EPE, DriveCrypt, and PGP. The program scans the physical memory image file  which was acquired while the encrypted disk was mounted, even if the target computer was locked then extracts all the encryption keys, and decrypts the given volume.

[Image: yvrtK0X.png]

Password Recovery Options:

You can use predefined settings, advanced customized settings or the run wizard and follow simple steps to start the recovery process. The recovery time depends on the password length and complexity

[Image: WFNxB30.png]

Export and import scan results

Using the built-in portable USB version, you can check any computer without installation to identify all encrypted items then export the results along with any files relevant to your work computer to perform batch decryption. You can easily save the scan results using the “Copy to Folder” option

  TrickBot Uses a New Windows 10 UAC Bypass to Launch Quietly
Posted by: Mohammad.Poorya - 01-31-2020 , 07:55 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote:The TrickBot Trojan has switched to a new Windows 10 UAC bypass to execute itself with elevated privileges without showing a User Account Control prompt.
 
Windows uses a security mechanism called User Account Control (UAC) that will display a prompt every time a program is run with administrative privileges.
 
When these prompts are shown, they will ask logged in user if they wish to allow the program to makes changes, and if the program is suspicious or unrecognized, allows the user to prevent the program from running.

  Huawei says it won't return to Google services, even when the ban lifts [Update]
Posted by: sidemoon - 01-31-2020 , 12:54 PM - Forum: Phones & Tablets News - No Replies

Quote: When Huawei introduced the Mate 30 series in September, it did it without Google services. 
This is thanks to a trade war between the United States and China that landed the Shenzhen firm on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List, meaning that U.S. companies are banned from doing business with Huawei. 
That means that it can't license Android from Google, Windows 10 from Microsoft, buy parts from Qualcomm or Intel, and so on.

Disclaimer: I get some of these games from friends & take these in good faith. You can understand that its impossible to check if serial is working or already redeemed, unless you activate it on Steam. So if a key turns out to be a duplicate its unfortunate & hopefully I can offer a different replacement game if I have it. You have to active it on Steam & hope all are ok & you get the game. This is the only term/condition I got for such personal giveaways of mine. Pictures used are from steam pages & internet & only used for fair use.

  N.Y. plastic grocery bag ban starts March 1, some fear confusion, loopholes

Quote:ALBANY – Like many environmentalists, Eric Goldstein is applauding New York’s pending ban on single-use plastic grocery bags, but he also thinks the ban should be delayed beyond its March 1 implementation date.
Why? He doesn’t think the state Department of Environmental Conservation has done enough to inform the public that the ban is actually imminent. He fears the confusion and possible backlash that could result.
“Nobody wants to see the state fumble on the initial kickoff,” Goldstein, senior attorney for the National Resources Defense Council, said Monday during a hearing before DEC on the new law.
