Safe Browsing


Many of us browse the web for all kind of reasons, either academic research, political update, latest celebrity gossip and if you happen to be reading this its for technology update.
This can be achieved though many ways and certainly though a variety of devices. On phone, tablets, pcs, etc. once the information is consumed most of us close our browsers and life goes on. 
If you happen to be curious and suspicious or even searching for sensitive information and you want your tracks covered up walk with me.

Anonymity online

If you value your privacy and care about not leaving traces behind open your eyes wide and follow closely.

Ever heard of Tor? This is a very powerful browser that ensures anonymity online. This is achieved by bouncing your connections to several servers before reaching the intended destination.
Some website collect users information like location which intern may be used for malicious intensions like physically tracking you, using your location to recommend sites that you did not ask for……etc. on the other hand if you online and carry out illegal business and don’t have private connections this might be tracked back to you.

Over the years there have been improvements of this platform fixing bugs and adding new features. This has led to the creation of the new anonymity operating system.

Tails Operating system

This is privacy taken to a higher level. Just think of it? Using tor browser does not guarantee you 100% security, this is due to the fact that there might be bugs on the operating system of apps that are on the device that you are using that might sell you out.
With the new live tails o.s. this ensures security and anonymity at a higher stake, let me explain.

Firstly get the Iso image form the tails website. Secondly create a bootable disk from it (in case this is French to you get on the comment section answer will translate it to you.) this can be installed on a disk, flash drive or even SD card. Once done run this live version on any pc of your chose (NB: this will not a affect the host o.s or apps of the machine.) once the booting is complete you are now safe to roam the inter webs. It comes with a custom tor browser inbuilt

One thing to keep in mind is that whatever you access will not be saved anywhere unless explicitly specified. No traces ae left on the host as well. Once you switch off the tails live machine the info dies with it.
Some of you might be asking where the temp info resides. The RAM yes the info lives there as long as the machine is on.

Conclusion.

As discussed above this are some of the ways to secure your connections online and as we all know big brother is always watching and devices ways and means to get to you.

Be very careful as you crawl in the interwebs , who you communicate with, as this are ways to secure or increase your anonymity it does not guarantee 100% privacy.


Just for the record this research was carried out in the tails platform……………………………….

Revolutionizing Agriculture: Precision Farming with Drones and Sensors

  Drones in Agricuture In the rapidly evolving world of agriculture, precision farming stands out as a groundbreaking approach that harnesses the power of technology to enhance productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Among the most transformative tools in this field are drones and sensors, which are redefining traditional farming practices. This article delves into how these technologies are being integrated into modern agriculture, the benefits they offer, and the future they promise. The Rise of Precision Farming Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, involves the use of technology to manage crops and soil in a more precise and controlled manner. The goal is to optimize field-level management regarding crop farming. Unlike conventional methods that rely on broad-spectrum approaches, precision farming tailors practices to the specific needs of different areas within a field. Drones: Eyes in the Sky Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become an i...

Early Detection of Brain Disorders: Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement

 Early Detection of Brain Disorders Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement Introduction In recent years, the integration of wearable technologies into healthcare has opened up exciting possibilities for early disease detection. Among these developments, wearable sensors that track eye movement have emerged as a promising tool in diagnosing brain disorders. Eye movement, which is closely linked to brain function, can offer vital clues in detecting neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive impairments. This research addresses a pressing question: Can subtle changes in eye movement patterns be reliably used to detect brain disorders before clinical symptoms become evident? With advancements in precision medicine and AI, the convergence of IT, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience is becoming not only possible but necessary. As a software engineer transitioning into bioinformatics, I see this as a pivotal opportunity to apply data sc...

Apple’s 2024 Keynote: New Calculator App for iPad and More!

 As a self-proclaimed non-Apple fanboy, I have to admit, Apple's latest keynote had a few surprises that even caught my attention. Among the usual fanfare of sleek designs and incremental updates, Apple dropped a few notable bombs, including the long-awaited launch of a native  Calculator app for the iPad. Yes, you read that right. The iPad finally has a calculator, and it’s bringing some extra features to the table like Math Notes and Apple Pencil support. Let’s dive into what went down at the keynote and why it might be worth paying attention, even if you’re not an Apple devotee. The Headline Act: Calculator App for iPad For years, iPad users have been scratching their heads wondering why Apple, in all its innovative glory, never included a basic calculator app on its tablets. Well, the wait is finally over. Apple has introduced a Calculator app that goes beyond mere arithmetic. The app includes Math Notes, which allows users to jot down notes and calculations side-by-side. ...
