Information security and trojan horses

Information security and trojan horses

Normally we are thinking trojan horses as the malicious software, what is slipped to the system, and what is transforming from some shareware program to a computer virus or spying tool. But there is another way to think about the trojan horse, and that thing is connected with the idea of the virtual working environment.

That idea is that the entire virtual headquarters of the company can turn to trojan horse very easy way. When the system architects are building the internet or IP-base solution, where the team can work virtually, that thing causes one very interesting problem, when we are thinking it in the point of view of the cybersecurity.  What if the entire company would cheat to use the similar digital headquarters, what is maintained by criminals?

The idea is that if we would use the virtual headquarters, and we offer the service from some company, somebody can build a duplicate of that service or working environment. After that, the hostile operator just cheats the crew of the company for using that giant trojan horse, and the thing of how cheating can happen is quite easy. The people, who would install IP-addresses and Internet addresses to the system would simply get wrong net-addresses, or the link, what is sent to the customer can be faked.

That would cause that entire corporation would turn to use hostile virtual solution, and make every action under the surveillance of the hostile operator. This kind of things can cause the worst kind of data leak as possible. And when we are thinking about the informative trojan horses, what can be used to send the faked information about the advantage of the economic situation of some companies, the thing can be done by NAT: ing the homepages.

This means that the router would automatically turn the IP-address to another, and this technology is created for denying the loss of IP-addresses. But if the natting parameters are wrong, the system can turn dangerous. The thing is that the router can link faked homepages, like as an example the faked homepages of stock markets, and that thing could make possible that the investors would get false information of the advantages of the value of shares.

But that kind of techniques, what are called as phishing can use to get access codes and other things from the law enforcement and other operators, what should be trusted. And if some unauthorized user would see the wrong databases, that thing can cause very bad troubles for many people.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
