Stay secure on internet, be hack proof while surfing

April 24th, 2011 No comments

Security is a major concern. Its just that some people never take it seriously. (and many don’t know anything)

People are then taken for a ride, with their account getting hacked and messing up after that.

Staying secure on the internet is very important and so we show you this very small Firefox Browser extension which makes use of HTTP S (S-Secure) for browsing. If your data is transmitted over HTTPS, then a hacker cannot read the data because its encrypted….It makes you more secure than just simple HTTP.

This plugin will then secure all your connections (wherever available).

HTTPS Everywhere by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation):

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.

Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.

Test if your DNS servers are fast or degrading the performance of your Internet Connection

June 8th, 2010 No comments

DNS servers are the one who connect your computer to the url which you type in to your browser. The DNS servers assigned by the ISP usually have faster response times, but may be slow in the lookup due to high load or due to bad performing servers….

This tool helps you to test which is the best DNS server for you….The tool is knows as DNSBench.

DNS Bench performs a test on predefined nameservers and of-course, you can supply the DNS servers of your choice to be tested.

DNS Bench comprehensively tests all the DNS server and generates a report which can be copied onto clipboard, which can be analyzed later.

We liked the way it tested the DNS servers for reliability and the response time of the servers.

All we can do is recommend this software to you…..DOWNLOAD it for FREE!

You can visit the Official Website >>CLICK HERE<<

In our case too the ISP’s nameservers were fast but were low on caching so we switched onto Google’s DNS Servers.

Primary DNS : 8.8.8.8

Alt. DNS          : 8.8.4.4

Have a Happy time surfing……
