WHAT IS A TROJAN HORSE ?

In computers, a Trojan horse is a program in which malicious or harmful code is contained inside apparently harmless programming or data in such a way that it can get control and do its chosen form of damage, such as ruining the file allocation table on your hard disk.

Trojan horse attacks pose one of the most serious threats to computer security. If you were referred here, you may have not only been attacked but may also be attacking others unknowingly. This page will teach you how to avoid falling prey to them, and how to repairthe damage if you already did. According to legend, the Greeks won the Trojan war by hiding in a huge, hollow wooden horse to sneak into the fortified city of Troy. In today's computer world, a Trojan horse is defined as a "malicious, security-breaking program that is disguised as something benign". For example, you download what appears to be a movie or music file, but when you click on it, you unleash a dangerous program that erases your disk, sends your credit card numbers and passwords to a stranger, or lets that stranger hijack your computer to commit illegal denial of service attacks like those that have virtually crippled the DALnet IRC network for months on end.

The following general information applies to all operating systems, but by far most of the damage is done to/with Windows users due to its vast popularity and many weaknesses.

(Note: Many people use terms like Trojan horse, virus, worm, hacking and cracking all interchangeably, but they really don't mean the same thing. If you're curious, here's a quick primer defining and distinguishing them. Let's just say that once you are "infected", trojans are just as dangerous as viruses and can spread to hurt others just as easily!)

HOW TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAMES USING TUNNGLE

If you have ever played a multiplayer game, then you know a single player mode can’t beat that experience. Its like taking things to anext level as one is playing with another human which mean more randomness, more dynamic moves and obviously more fun.

But the problem majority of the PC users face is that they can’t play online because they are either using a pirated or cracked version. But they can actually play on LAN without a genuine version of the game because there is nothing like a server to check which one to allow and which one to not.

Tunngle works on this principle, I should say exploit this practically by creating a virtual LAN in which other players act as if they were connected to you on LAN and then you can play with them by going to LAN options and then either starting your own game or joining someone’s else.
Its a whole lot of fun and Tunngle makes this hassle free.

So, here is how you do it.

• Signup for a free Tunngle account.
• Install the software and log into your account by running their software.
• Go to Communities > Network > Search or just enter the Search on the left.
• Type in what game do you want to play. (Type ‘Age’ for Age of empires and ‘Need for Speed’ for any version of NFS, as it will resultsmore results to chose from and avoiding ending up with no results due to searching keywords)
• Double click to join one of the rooms.

That’s it.

Any games you host or anyone else will appear on the LAN option of all the players in that room.

They have a lot of games which you can play at the moment which covers almost all the popular ones. You can take a look at the list of the games.

Have fun playing online!

Note – Tunngle is coming up with a new client so the interface might change a bit from what it is shown in this post.

5 Essential Apps For Rooted Android Devices

Here is a suggestion of the most essential apps that one should consider installing after rooting their Android smartphone or tablet

If you are an Android user, then you might have heard about rooting your device. In simple terms it is a process that allows a user to gain privilege control of the Android subsystem. A rooted device enables the user to perform functions that are not available to a normal Android user like running special apps that require administrator permissions, alter system applications and settings, or even remove and replace the OS to the most recent version.

Rooting a device is not that tough and there are a number of sources on the web that will help you perform the procedure. However, rooting a device means that you could lose the warranty of your device and could even end up with a bricked device, so be very careful.

Right, so you managed to root your Android device, what next? Well, you should definitely get these apps as soon as you are done with the procedure.

1.    Root Checker
As the name suggests, this app confirms whether your device was rooted properly or not. It even tells you some basic system information of your device. Once you run the app, it checks for system admin access. In case you do not have root access, it means that you need to go through the rooting process once again. Quite useful for people who are rooting their device for the first time.

Grab the app for free from the Google Play store.

2.    ClockworkMod (CWM)
This is very the terms get a little technical. Clockwork recovery is a very essential tool for all rooted devices as this app enables you to access your device’s recovery mode. Through the recovery mode you can install different customized ROMs, make an entire backup of your whole system as an image, install apps directly into the system, perform system related functions like formatting and partitioning your memory and a lot more. If you are rooting for the first time, do go through instructions and tips on using CWM because it isn’t that easy to use.

 

You need to install ROM manager to install CWM into your system. Download the app from here.


3.    Titanium backup pro
One of the best backup tools available for Android is Titanium backup pro. The app requires root access and lets you back-up all of your apps along with your data. It even lets you backup your system apps in case you plan to change your smartphone or just plan to change your ROM. One of the best features of Titanium is that you can uninstall any app from your device meaning that all the unnecessary bloat-ware apps that you don’t use can be removed from your device. Just a word of caution, do not remove any Android system related apps as you could end up damaging the operating system files.

Titanium backup pro is available from the Google Play store for Rs. 329


4.    Root Browser
This is your traditional file manager application which allows you to access all of your files and folders. You can move, copy or delete files, open or create zip files, sort your files to any order, share files with anyone, etc. Once you have rooted your device this app will let you access your system files and set read and write permissions of files and folders. Root browser is a very useful app as it makes the task for searching files and folders very easy.

The app is available for free from the Google Play store over here.

5.    STweaks
If you are looking for an app to mess around with your system then Stweaks is the answer. The app is a very powerful tool which directly allows you to reconfigure your Android kernel so use this app with extreme caution. You can perform various system functions like changing the clock speed of your processor, change the levels on your display, enable backlight notifications, boost your audio output, enable dual-booting, change the power consumption modes, and so on.

The only drawback of this app is that it is supported by limited number of kernels, so make sure you go through the list of supported kernels when you install the app.

Stweaks can be downloaded free of cost from the Google Play store.

A short Description on Animation

Animation is a graphic representation of drawings to show movement within those drawings.  A series of drawings are linked together and usually photographed by a camera.  The drawings have been slightly changed between individualized frames so when they are played back in rapid succession (24 frames per second) there appears to be seamless movement within the drawings.

Pioneers of animation include Winsor McCay of the United States and Emile Cohl and Georges Melies of France.  Some consider McCay's Sinking of the Lusitania from 1918 as the first animated feature film.
     Early animations, which started appearing before 1910, consisted of simple drawings photographed one at a time.  It was extremely labor intensive as there were literally hundreds of drawings per minute of film.  The development of celluloid around 1913 quickly made animation easier to manage.  Instead of numerous drawings, the animator now could make a complex background and/or foreground and sandwich moving characters in between several other pieces of celluloid, which is transparent except for where drawings are painted on it.  This made it unnecessary to repeatedly draw the background as it remained static and only the characters moved.  It also created an illusion of depth, especially if foreground elements were placed in the frames.
     Walt Disney took animation to a new level.  He was the first animator to add sound to his movie cartoons with the premiere of Steamboat Willie in 1928.  In 1937, he produced the first full length animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
     With the introduction of computers, animation took on a whole new meaning.  Many feature films of today had animation incorporated into them for special effects.  A film like Star Warsby George Lucas would rely heavily on computer animation for many of its special effects.  Toy Story, produced by Walt Disney Productions and Pixar Animation Studios, became the first full length feature film animated entirely on computers when it was released in 1995.
     With the advent of personal computers, it has now become possible for the average person to create animations.
