Restaurant City is a popular game on Facebook. It seems that everyone and his mother are playing Restaurant City these days. I started exploring this game from the buzz around it. I like to know what people around me are doing so this is why I started playing Restaurant City Game.

After that I wished I could start playing earlier because I discovered the joy of the game and it started to be addicting. I used all resources and started to level up easier and faster than my friends.

I think the secret of Restaurant City is to have a good observation and to think out of the frame. Here I will give you some of the Restaurant City tips I got from close attention, testing several methods and finding the best way to do anything.

1- Put an arcade in your restaurant: If you played Restaurant City for any time you will know that you will have waiting customers. If you did not provide an arcade for the customers who are waiting a seat to be served they will give you thumbs down. If you had an arcade the leaving customers will not give you thumbs down even if they were not served.

2- Shake the trees around your restaurant because they can give you coin and that will help you very much in the game.

3- Focus your efforts to master one recipe for each category in your menu: Getting all the ingredients for one recipe will concentrate your work on one recipe to master. You will get good ratings and you can level up very fast. Do not try to master more than one recipe in one category at the same time or you will waste your cooks’ efforts to build reputation.

4- The best layout for your tables is the island layout: Put your chairs in a circle and your waiter will be inside the circle while customers are outside. This will save you time because your waiter will work faster, and he will have to walk less distances.

5- Do not use toilets: If you used toilets you will need cleaners to clean them. You will have to hire more cleaners as your restaurant have more customers. If you do not have toilets your game will not be affected. Focus your energy on things that will enhance your play and save the distraction that will come from putting and cleaning toilets.

6- Use narrow ways to your chairs: This will save your waiters time to take out the dishes before the new guests arrive and start waiting.

Restaurant city tips are logical and the game is addicting. If you played well and paid attention to what is happening in your restaurant you will level up really fast and you will get your visitors satisfaction and your friends envy.

The most widely used Content Management Systems are WordPress, joomla and drupal as per statistics. The highest CMS platforms that are held as hacking targets are WordPress followed by joomla, drupal and the rest are other CMS’s.

Before dwelling on the ways to secure CMS we could list the ways in which hackers could gain control over the website.

Outdated websites

Using an older CMS version that is obsolete also means that the security of the system has not been updated. In every version of the software update, new security fixes and upgrades are been released.

Easily accessible through the login screen

The frontend login can be easy for the users but it’s a favorite possible way for hackers and bots to gain access. The password strength also plays a vital role, In case if the password strength is weak it can be easily cracked. As admin has an access to the same website there is a possible scenario where a hacker would input sequence of passwords multiple times to gain access to the admin panel.

Additional Add-ons

Using additional plugins, modules, themes and other injections that are not verified are one of the reasons for hacking, hence if their vulnerabilities are not fixed they give way to high possibilities for hackers to gain access through these unverified plugins.

These are the vulnerabilities through which a website can be hacked easily, however in case we develop the website using strong security practices it would be more reliable and gives away less possibility to hacking. We have ways and solutions to secure CMS websites which are discussed below:

Restrict the number of login attempts

Restricting the number of login attempts would eliminate brute force attacks, as well as decrease the possibility of hackers or bots to gain access to the system.

Two Factor Authentications (2FA)

A second layer security during the login would be essential in order to tighten the security of the website. Authenticator plugins can be used that would send an OTP to the registered mobile or email, once verified the user would be able to login.

Verified plugins

As we had discussed about vulnerabilities in installing unverified plugins, it is recommended to install verified plugins in order to keep the system secure.

Implement a firewall

Firewall acts as an extra security layer to the infrastructure in order to block unwanted IP’s. Ensuring firewall is in place for all cms websites provides additional security and is also useful to track suspicious activities.

Keep the website updated

CMS site and all the plugins needs to be updated at regular intervals whenever an update is notified. Developers would often release fixes and upgrades that would include new security fixes ensuring the website is kept away from threats.

SSL Certificate

SSL certificate is added to increase the security layers of the website, an SSL certificate is a bit of code on the server that provides security between online communications. When a web browser contacts a secured website, the SSL certificate establishes an encrypted connection.

Access permissions to users

Restricting the access to certain modules of the application works greatly in increasing the security.

Change passwords on regular basis

Change passwords often and also increase the password strength by giving special characters and other unique sequences.

Low Risk – High Return – Work Your Own Hours

The Ultimate Get Rich Quick Scheme

Wow! Can you imagine a help wanted ad like that in your local newspaper or pay-per-click ad in your favorite search engine?

Yet, organized cyber crime has become the most profitable – low risk – high return crime of our age. Hundreds of thousands of hackers are quietly using the Internet, hiding behind thousands of captured computers, stealing identities and money from innocent people like you and me. Sadly, there is little chance the hacker will ever get caught.

Organized cyber crime has become a big-time profession. Professional hackers make it their daily job to take advantage of current computer security trends and send out threats like Spam, phishing e-mails, Trojan horses containing key loggers, hijackers and more, all targeted to steal your identity and ultimately your money.

These cyber criminals can work alone or in groups. Either way, their first goal is to capture computers and turn them into zombies or bots. These are computers that the hacker controls without the owners knowledge.

As more and more computers are captured, the hacker develops an Army of computers or botnet that can be used for any number of criminal activities. The botnet may send out Spam e-mails, and Trojan horses. A botnet can cause denial-of-service attacks on web sites extorting money from the web site owners. This whole time the hacker is hiding behind a string of computers under his control. Tracing back to the hacker is nearly impossible.

Hacker Tools For Sale

Anyone can take advantage of the computer security trends and become a part of the organized cyber crime world. The tools of the trade are everywhere. You can find web sites that promote the use of these tools. What do you want? Here’s a partial list of items you can find on the Internet:

· Remote Access Tools – known as RATs. These tools allow remote access to a computer. They were originally developed for white hat hackers to remotely repair computers. Now, this is a major tool in a cyber criminal’s toolbox.

· Key logger Tools – Corporations and even parents find these tools necessary to keep everyone in line on the Internet. Unfortunately, hackers have learned how to use these tools to steal your private information.

· Video And Audio Systems – Hackers have tools that will penetrate your computer systems and watch your every move through the camera mounted on your computer or microphone that came with your computer.

· Voip And Broadband Phone Services – you can easily find tools such as web dialer worms to break into computers and listen to conversations or even dial and use the phone service. How hard is it for a criminal to place drug purchases or conduct terrorist activities with your computer?

· Computer Memory Storage – hackers can acquire tools to section off your computer and store anything they want like child pornography, criminal records and more.

· Spamming Tools – want to send e-mail out of someone else’s computer? Just purchase this easy to use software and you can make that happen. Hackers send millions of Spam e-mails every day making up over 90 percent of all e-mail sent out worldwide.

· Create Your Own Virus – Yes, it’s true. There are many web sites offering to mutate a current virus to your needs. Lately, virus attacks have been more targeted. That’s why you haven’t heard about massive virus attacks lately.

· Drive By Spyware – There are some web sites that promote that they will pay you to allow them to place a tool on your web site that puts spyware on every computer that visits the site. The more computers infected the more money you make.

· Computer Scrambling Devices – you can purchase tools that will scramble all or some of the information on a computer. Simply invade a computer, scramble important information, leave a message telling the victim to pay a few hundred dollars ransom to an overseas account and they will send the code to unscramble the information.

This list could go on and on. Organized cyber crime uses every tool they can find or devise to take advantage of the current computer trends and enhance their threats.

The headline reads: Computer Hackers Wanted For Organized Cyber Crime! The sub headline should say, “The general public is indifferent and isn’t doing much to protect themselves. The Timing couldn’t be better.”

Organized cyber crime has moved, for the most part, from targeting large businesses to individuals and small business. Criminals know that this targeted group has little knowledge of computer security and a small amount of money to invest in their protection. They view this group as easy prey. So far, they are right on target.

The sad truth is that most people either don’t seem to care or don’t know what to do. Most of those that don’t know what to do don’t do anything about it, either. That’s the current computer security trend. As a result, organized cyber crime and computer security threats continue to grow at an accelerating pace. Over $67 billion was stolen last year. Over eight million identities have been stolen every year for years and years back.

What Can We Do To Fight Organized Cyber Crime And Turn These Computer Security Trends Around?

For the most part, criminals are lazy. They are looking for the low road – not the high road. Making yourself a hard target to attack is your first defense against organized cyber crime and computer security threats.

The old saying, “knowledge is power,” is most important. Make sure everyone in your home or business understands the threats and is careful not to allow these on a computer. However, even with the best knowledge there can be accidental leaks from opening Spam e-mail, drive-by-hacking from a web site, downloading infected cds and more.

Here are some tips to protect your home and business:

· Make sure you keep up with the latest most up-to-date Microsoft Windows patches

· Use an industrial grade bi-directional firewall. Most over-the-counter and products offered by Internet services don’t offer this quality technology

· Make sure you have up-to-date antivirus protection

· Make sure you have best-of-breed anitspyware protection. Antispyware and antiviruses are different computer security threats and require different protection technologies.

· Avoid web sites that may have spyware including gambling and pornography.

The best protection is using the same computer security solutions used by major corporations around the world. A solution that uses overlapping technologies to prevent antiviruses, spyware and other computer security threats.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat (PRWeb) March 18, 2007 — Born in small village of most famous Indian city known as Pink City of India. Mr. Sharma is in the field of security research from last 8 years. He has now full control over the global web security system. His life was full of struggle and overloaded stress. He mentions his strength and pride by specifying himself as a Full-stop on E-system. His aim was to perform unique tasks across globe, something which no one other then him can perform. He proved this through a LIVE ON AIR telecast on one of the most reputed news channel INDIA TV (http://www.indiatvnews.com). This telecast was aired in the Breaking News on INDIA TV and was the world’s first longest hacking and security related news telecast. This telecast was shown from 9:00 PM to 12:30 AM and is one of the best serialized news programme of India. Minister of Information Technology, Technical Experts, Stock Exchange Experts, Cyber Crime Experts, Indian Star Editors Team and Corporate Profiles were all present during this telecast. Mr. Sharma had hacked several Internet Banking, Internet Trading and Internet Shopping websites all in a single attempt. Recently, Mr. Sharma had also announced about his new security firm Shubhlabh Technologies. He mentions hacking as an expert level work which is technical art of finding vulnerabilities in existing weak security of any online activity through Internet. Kalpesh Sharma, shows the LIVE demonstration on net banking and its loopholes. He proved that no bank is safe for your money. He challenged to all banks that he can hack any bank site because of their loopholes. However, his intention behind proving was to help out peoples become safe and aware of technical security.

First he reserved an airticket on indiatimes.com shopping website for free. The payment was done by hacking the site of IDBI Bank payment gateway. Secondly, he purchased a raincoat from rediff shopping website and payment was done through hacking of Federal Bank. From both websites he received the receipt with order number and confirmed payment that the payment is done and we will deliver it within 3 days…

Alongwith, Mr. Sharma also went for discussion through a debate in the same LIVE telecast with Mr. Dhrender Kumar (Stock Exchange Expert) and Pawan Duggal (Cyber Law Expert) and they felt shocked when they saw all these right in front of their eyes. Mr. Dhrender said that, ” I am shocked to see this situation. Now our money is not safe and we could not take physical risk to keep huge amount of funds with us, because technical era is on it’s way towards progress. In order to avoid this we are using Net Banking, but as seen there are several vulnerabilities in banking system also… “

Mr Pawan Duggal described about some clauses and sections of Information Security Act, and asked peoples who lost their money, can claim up to 10 Million INR. But you have to prove it in the court of law, which is almost very difficult to perform. You can’t get help from consumer court as well, in this situation. No one knows what can be done? Mr. Sharma also hacked the so called safe website of shares and securities trading i.e Indiabulls.com and transferred 100 INR into his Union Bank Savings Account. Indiabulls database site reflected the balance fluctuations, immediately. For discussion on this, Mr Gagan Banga (President of Indiabulls) was called in this LIVE telecast. But instead of accepting his company’s technical mistakes, he challenged against Mr. Sharma’s claims. He fully denied though everything was seen by millions of peoples across nation. He said that, ” It’s not possible to hack our trading website”. Then, Mr. Sharma challenged him to prove it right in that running LIVE telecast, and asked him for oral permissions. Mr. Sharma also added that let public viewers of this telecast give their decisions after he demonstrates it right now. Once Mr. Gagan felt nervous ! because by this they can loose the confidence of people. But at last he accepted that challenge and told to Mr. Sharma that he can come in his office and hack Mr. Gagan’s account. I will give you permission to hack my account, but I can’t give permissions for other hacking other’s accounts. This shows Mr. Gagan have doubt about his website and was afraid of Mr. Sharma’s Challenge.

For further discussion Mr. Shakeel Ahmed (IT Minister of India) came and he told that he is not a technical person, but he will definitely do well for people’s of his country with his technical team… In short, none of our money is safe until and unless, online security vulnerabilities are not removed completely. In order to know more about Mr. Sharma’s research activities and services please go through [http://kalpeshsharma.page.tl]

Today’s Growing need for Certified Ethical Hack

According to a Cyber Security Strategy paper released by PWC, 90 % of large business organizations suffer security breaches at least once a year. Over 60 percent of these organizations are attacked by outsiders. To curb this threat, companies are looking for ethical hackers who can fortify business networks and prevent cyber attacks by identifying technological defects.

The huge extent of growth in the communication and information technology sector has opened up more access avenues that are of particular interest to cyber-criminals.

The Rising Need for Ethical

The information technology sector is embracing cloud computing whose major trends are IT outsourcing and virtualization. The transition to cloud computing is marred by security gaps that increase the level of cybersecurity threats. Hence, the high demand for certified ethical hackers.

Companies require ethical in order to avail the benefits of cloud computing without compromising on data or information security. Hence, the job opportunities in ethical hacking are on the rise at present. Additionally, the cyber sector is developing rapidly presenting complex security requirements that can only be overcome by an expert and professional ethical.

Duties and Qualifications of a Certified Ethical

Certified ethical hackers are white hat hackers who hack systems legitimately with one objective and under strict protocols. Their only objective is to secure and encrypt systems from malicious cyber-attacks, phishing attacks, viruses, and worms.

They rely on encryption and cryptographic techniques like vulnerability testing and penetration method to understand the integrity of the displayed information.

An ethical hacker’s job requirements may include; programming knowledge of LISP, JAVA, Perl, and C, an understanding of Linux/Unix commands and strong computer skills as well as a high social engineering talent that is not acquired by learning ethical hacking. Social engineering is a non-technical mode of the network intrusion that relies on human interactions where people are tricked into breaking laid out security procedures.

Concluding Remarks

Cyber security is classified among the top threats in the world. This explains the increasing job opportunities in ethical hacking for people who are certified to legally hack web servers and decode wireless encryption in a bid to exploit security vulnerabilities and determine the possibility of a criminal hacker accessing a system. Hence, security experts emphasize that hiring certified ethical hackers to penetrate and examine a company’s system should be classified as an essential and mandatory business practice.

Cyber-attacks are one of the greatest threat to IT organizations as they can bring down a company’s reputation in no time. With growing sophistication in technology, the cyber threats are also proliferating and becoming very difficult to track down and quarantine. The International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) a certification body supported by many organizations introduced Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator certifications. If you want to learn more about Ethical Hacking, take up the course, Ethical Hacking Training.

Who is a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)?

CEH is the first and one of the best certification to provide the methods and techniques to penetrate the computer systems. This certification changed the way the IT organizations handled the cyber-attacks. The certified professionals think and act in the hacker’s perspective, which is the main reason to find the loopholes in the organization’s network. After finding the vulnerabilities, the professionals will work towards securing the computer networks.

Who is a Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI)?

CHFI on the other hand not only identifies, tracks the cyber-criminals, but also prosecutes them for this illegal act. Based on the available data, the forensic investigator collects evidence against the security breach and reports the criminal activity. Then conducts the audit to save guard the system from future attacks.

Prerequisite to take up the CEH and CHFI certification:

• For the CEH certification, the candidate is required to possess two years of working experience in the Information Security department.
• There is no prerequisites to take up the CHFI certification. However, it is recommended to take up CEH certification before CHFI and in this case it is not mandatory to clear the CEH exam.

Benefits of CEH

• With the help of CEH, the business stays alert on all malicious content in the cyber space. This increases the security of the business proceedings.
• Having the knowledge about the known vulnerabilities, business organizations can set up a standard for their business.

Benefits of CHFI

• The CHFI credentials help to develop high-risk standards for business operation.
• CHFI gets all the necessary legal requirements for the organization in place by collecting evidences of security breaches.
• CHFI also helps in finding out the deleted documents by doing a complete research on history of the computer system. This also helps to analyze the images and gather more information from the network logs.

Target Audience of CEH

The target audience for the CEH training and certification are Security Professionals, Site Administrators, Networking professionals, Auditors etc.

Target Audience of CHFI

The target audience of CHFI training and certification are Law Enforcement Personnel, Security Officers, Military Personnel, Bankers, System Administrators etc.

Though both CEH and CHFI have overlapping concepts, both the certifications are important for an Organization to fight against the security vulnerabilities. If you are interested to learn the Ethical Hacking course, enroll on to the online Ethical Hacking Training. Professional trainers will walk you through the course material for better understanding. You can find your understanding level by taking online Assessments.

Hacking, which has been a part of computing for over 50 years, is a very broad discipline, which covers a wide range of topics. The first reported hacking was in 1960 at MIT and the term ‘Hacker’ was used.

For non-geeks, here is a short introduction. Computer software consists of computer programs, which give instructions on how the hardware should perform certain tasks. These softwares are often prepared by programmers, who have full access to the entire programs. The programs are then sold to users with strict rules or protocols by which they are accessible only to certain authorized persons (usually with passwords) for reasons of security. Theoretically, nobody except these authorized persons have access to use these.

How can others obtain unauthorized access?

1. The original programmers, who have prepared the source code, and have invariably provided their own entry points trap-doors and passwords.

2. Earlier users who are no longer authorized users, but whose passwords have not been deleted.

3. Other unscrupulous persons who wish to access the system for ulterior motives.

4. Since there is so much activity and business run by computers, and most computers are connected by the Internet, they are open to be accessed by various persons via the internet.

5. Computers are also prone to attack by malicious software (mal-ware) and virus attacks, which leaves them open to attack by hackers and mal-ware. These ‘virus infections’ and ‘worms’ are introduced by persons who wish to hack into the system and steal information or make entire systems crash or destroy the entire data stored.

Just as virus attacks in computers are prevented by anti-virus software like MacAfee, etc. companies protect themselves from hacking by employing ethical hackers. EC Council defines an ethical hacker as ‘an individual who is usually employed with an organization and who can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems using the same methods and techniques as a malicious hacker.’

It refers to the act of locating weaknesses and vulnerabilities of computer and information systems by duplicating the intent and actions of malicious users.

It is also known as penetration testing, intrusion testing, or red teaming. It requires them look at client network as potential malicious attackers, then devise the right safeguards to protect clients from attacks. |

So why are ethical hackers needed?

1. They are needed to identify and seal all possible points of access by hackers, which could be individuals or sophisticated software, including ‘worms’.

2. In simple language, an ethical hacker thinks and works like an unethical hacker to find and exploit vulnerabilities and weaknesses in various systems, and how they can be breached.

3. Then he devises methods to protect the vulnerable points by erecting firewalls, stronger passwords, frequently changing passwords, using iris scans or fingerprints in addition to passwords, encryption, and so on.

4 They also need to prevent ingress (entry) by the original programmers who created the software and by persons who are no longer authorized to log into the system.

5. They may also suggest VPN (Virtual Private Network), a secure tunnel between a computer and destinations visited on the internet. It uses a VPN server, which can be located anywhere in the world, and provides privacy. VPN will do the work to prevent someone snooping your browsing history, or spying on you. VPN will make you browsing from the server geo-location not your computer’s location so we will remain anonymous.

With most personal data being available today over the Internet for a price, Data Privacy is a serious concern; hackers can easily buy your personal data and steal your data using your passwords for other sites (since most people have the same weak passwords for different applications and rarely change passwords). They will educate users on how to choose difficult passwords, where to record or not record the passwords, and how frequently you need to change passwords.

Growth hacking has been in existence for past some time. Different multinationals have coined their own definition of the growth hacking, however, in simplified terms understand growth hacking as the SEO.

People who have used the SEO for the improvement of their website ranking on the Google search engine are already exposed to several techniques of growth hacking.

Now Let us Understand What is the Growth Hacker?

To understand the profile of the growth hacker it is important to understand their job role. The profile is a combination of the digital marketing and the software programming and coding. She or he largely focuses on generating the traffic on the website and designs a strategy to increase the sales of the business.

For example, they test the landing pages, email delivery ability, viral factor, and the open graph, etc. They do a lot of analysis by studying business verticals in detail given in the management information system reports.

The growth hacker puts the main focus on the fast pace dissemination of business related information on a large-scale reaching out to the millions of people on the internet. This enables them to promote the business services and products on a broad spectrum reaching out to the large pool of the potential clients.

Given the fact the success in promoting the business is more such specialized services are used compared to conventional digital marketers.

Let us understand how it benefits the business

Growth Hacking Makes the Business Accelerate at a Rapid Pace.

A growth hacker is an experienced and specialized digital marketer with a unique set of skills that help him/her to focus on a different set of challenges that are more critical compared to the challenges faced by the digital marketer. For the growth of the startup business, digital marketing is an important task.

However, when the business is in motion that looks at the challenges of their rapid growth. This is when such experts come into use for the detailed inspection of the online business and problems that can be resolved with ease.
