Access Blocked And Banned Websites

When you're using private computers of an institution, it's common that there are websites that can't be accessed on the Internet because:

- Network administrator has the privilege to blocked or banned a particular websites. Since some websites can be the cause of procrastination of work, it's one of the primary target of the network administrator. 

- The governments suppressed the access to information on the Internet countrywide.

Sometimes, we need to access information on the Internet. Imagine that we spend an hours finding the most reliable resources but unfortunately, it's blocked and we don't have privilege to unblock the website. Using proxy, there is a big chances of accessing blocked websites.

Security Software: Free VS Paid

A lot of PC users out there use free security software as alternative to paid security software. And for a good reason: why pay money for antivirus software when free alternatives are readily available? Read on to see what we think about this highly controversial question. 

There are quite a number of free security solutions available on the Internet that can perform well in terms of: detecting known viruses, spyware, and trojans, as well as filtering access to phishing web sites. However, paid security definitely comes with increased protection for the system. These protection technologies include: web filters, firewalls, content-based detection, and anti-spam. If you are an IT expert and are aware of the limitations to your free antivirus software, you could probably fix these limitations using extra tools (and save money in the process). But if you rely solely on one free security solution to protect your computer system, that means you are taking risks with your confidential data and passwords.

Captcha: Facebook Fight For Social Spammer

Ever wonder why browsing Facebook are more peaceful now? No person message you or post in your wall with "Christian I cant believe it, I actually got..... (some nonsense message)" that cause some user to be angry and said some said foul language (I don't blame them instead I respect them). The reason is, Facebook now extends its security by the use of captcha (program that can generate word that humans can answer but computers cannot). 

Lately I thought Facebook have no intention to act for social spammer and the only simple action I observe is the the number of URL that can share is limited per day (25 (estimate for same link shared)) but wrong. While social spammer continuously spreading spam message (I think by the use of some script that causing Facebook to become slower than before), Facebook built a number of automated system to detect spam and potential spam and block those responsible. When Facebook find a URL that they know is spam, Facebook add it to a blacklist and prevent it from being sent or posted (I think the picture below is the message if the URL posted is in the blacklist). 

Password Policy

A password policy is a set of rules designed to enhance computer security by encouraging users to employ strong passwords and use them properly. It is often part of an organization's official regulations and may be taught as part of security awareness training. It may either be advisory or mandated by technical means.

A strong password policy is one of the most important aspects of your security posture. Many successful security breaches involve simple brute force and dictionary attacks against weak passwords. If you intend to offer any form of remote access involving your local password system, make sure you adequately address minimum password complexity requirements, maximum password lifetimes, and frequent audits of your authentication systems.
