The purpose of the malicious software can turn the computer into a "zombie" that can use as the medium for the hacker operation.



Modern malicious software does not always destroy data. The malicious code can allow hackers to highjack the computers And use them to medium in their operations. Using the highjacked  "zombie machine" as the transmitter the hacker is harder to track. The operation can contain the delivering the trolls and other things in the network. And at the final stage, the hacker would detonate the logic bomb inside the targeted computer. The logic bomb means the computer code that destroys the data in the system that it cannot use to trace the hackers. 

A couple of words about malicious software and what is the best place to get an infection? The malicious software is the boogeyman of the internet. People are warned about the pornographic pages that can load malware like a computer virus to the computer. Many people think that computer viruses are just destroying the files in the hard drive. But the thing is not so simple as we might think. 

The Troyan horse is a computer virus that plays some kind of utility program. The hackers can use the computers of regular internet users for net attacking banks or companies. The remote computer can use for making illegal things on the internet. Things like port scanning and other things can cause problems for the person who owns the highjacked computer. 

The hackers can try to change the bank account numbers in their targeted homepages or transfer the network traffic to phishing pages. And in that fake homepage, the user would cheat to give the data like the password to the email and other services. The banks are not using paper card-based confirmation numbers anymore. And that thing is making the phishing attack by using fake homepages less effective than before. 

But things like cryptocurrency firms are also suitable targets for hackers. They might try to channel the currency that flows in the bank accounts of the cryptocurrency companies to their bank accounts. Or try to steal the algorithm that is used to make those cryptocurrencies. And then make their own faked crypto money. 

The malicious software is the code that is connected to the thing that looks like useful software. And one of those things that can contain malicious program code is things like Adobe updates from some strange address. The homepage tells that the flash-player requires the update and then there is the link to the page, where that thing can get. And that homepage is not Adobe's official. 

Probably in that update is involved not-wanted code. And that thing is the so-called Troyan horse. The Troyan horse is the malicious software that is playing useful software. And the malicious software can make many other things than just destroy files. One thing that infection can cause is that the hacker is taking the computer under control. And when the user is somewhere else that system would start to send trolls and other things on social media. 

The hacker can cause very much trouble by using remote computers for sending spamming and trolling. In the worst case, the infected computers are used for bot-network attacks against some services. And that thing can cause very big damages claims. And the net would be cut during the criminal prosecution process.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

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...
