Let me introduce The Machine- HP’s latest invention that could revolutionize the computing world. According to HP, The Machine is not a server, workstation, PC, device or phone but an amalgamation of all these things. It’s designed to be able to cope with the masses of data produced from the Internet of Things, which is the concept of a future network designed to connect a variety of objects and gadgets.
In order to handle this flurry of information it uses clusters of specialized cores as opposed to a small number of generalized cores. The whole thing is connected together using silicon photonics instead of traditional copper wires, boosting the speed of the system whilst reducing energy requirements. Furthermore, the technology features memristors which are resistors that are able to store information even after power loss.
The result is a system six times more powerful than existing servers that requires eighty times less energy. According to HP, The Machine can manage 160 petabytes of data in a mere 250 nanoseconds. And, what’s more, this isn’t just for huge supercomputers- it could be used in smaller devices such as smartphones and laptops. During a keynote speech given at Discover, chief technology officer Martin Fink explained that if the technology was scaled down, smartphones could be fabricated with 100 terabytes of memory.
HP envisages a variety of future applications for this technology in numerous different settings, from business to medicine. For example, it could be possible for doctors to compare your symptoms or DNA with patients across the globe in an instant and without breaching privacy, improving health outcomes.
While this is an exciting development, unfortunately for us HP isn’t expecting to have samples until 2015 and the first devices equipped with The Machine won’t surface until 2018.

CREATE AN UNDELETABLE FILE OR FOLDER WITH THIS SIMPLE TRICK

How  to create an undeletable and unrenamable file.

1.Go to start and type cmd to open the command prompt.

2.You cannot create an undeletable folder in your root directory i.e where the Windows OS is installed which is usually C: drive.

3.Type D: or E: in the command prompt and press enter.

4.Type md con\ and press enter (md means make directory).

5.When you open the directory,you would see the folder named “con” or any other name you used in the cmd interface.

6.When you try to delete that folder,an error message would be shown.

Mission impossible? Malwarebytes invents software that blocks zero-day attacks

Can this software end the tyranny of zero-day attacks?

US firm Malwarebytes has announced a security product it believes can do something that has eluded even the best-resourced security firms in the business – block all zero-day attacks known and unknown against popular Windows applications.
Called Anti-Exploit, the new software is an application developed by a startup Malwarebytes acquired a year ago called ZeroVulnerabilityLabs, founded by ex-Panda Security software engineer, Pedro Bustamente. The germ of the development dated back to an early version of the software that appeared in 2012.

Let’s be clear about how extraordinary this technology is on a conceptual level. It doesn’t just claim to stop application exploits that are known but those that aren't too. If it works it will be the first product to implement 'zero-day defence'. And all without a signature in sight.
The free version protects against zero-day vulnerabilities in Java, Flash, Silverlight and various browsers - Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Chrome and Opera - while the $24.95 (£15) paid version adds to that list Adobe and Foxit’s PDF reader, Microsoft’s Office suite, and a range of media players such as Windows Media Player and QuickTime.
The paid software also allows the user to define custom applications, while a third track will be the business version that comes with centralised endpoint management.
The antivirus industry has a tendency to run on security hype from time to time so do the big claims being made for Anti-Exploit stand up?
Zero day attacks on applications – exploiting software flaws to take control of a target - are the bread and butter of today’s cybercrime. Losing that avenue of attack would shut down something that is not so much of an attack path as an attack super-highway. Indeed, it is hard to think of a single significant piece of malware (including attacks traced to nation states) that hasn’t depended on exploiting zero-day flaws at some point in their execution.
“It is install and forget,” says Pedro Bustamente, who has spent the best part of three years since leaving Panda Software developing the technology behind it.
He agrees that recent versions of Windows have improved their integrated security, including innovations such as Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR), as well as Microsoft’s own anti-exploit layer, the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET). The latter, he believed, had been simply too generic to be a useful defence against real-world attacks.
“Most of what antivirus does is protection of the binary; [with Anti-Exploit] we are looking at the actions of the shellcode and payload.”
The difficulty of developing Anti-Exploit was that there was no one technique that could do it all, said Bustamente. It had been necessary to develop several layers of protection and fine tune them to defend real applications. Anti-Exploit used three layers of defence, guarding against OS bypasses, blocking exploit execution in memory and stopping the payload element from running.
Aware that it was likely to be greeted with scepticism, Malwarebytes asked security researcher Kafeine to pit the beta version against a number of top malware exploit kits and 31 recent known Java, IE and Adobe exploits. According to the results, the software blocked all of them.
Assuming this result is replicated against other known (and unknown) exploits, attackers have only three lines of attack left, starting with the application itself.  Two other limitations are that the software doesn’t and can’t defend against zero-day attacks on Windows itself (although relatively few use that avenue because this kind of flaw is rarer than it used to be), nor malware employing social engineering to get itself installed.

“Exploits have been responsible for a lot of headlines recently as they are a highly effective way of stealing confidential data from people and businesses. After researching thousands of vulnerabilities and exploits, we are confident that Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit will help mitigate some of this risk,” said Malwarebytes CEO, Marcin Kleczynski.
“With the advanced threat landscape becoming increasingly exploit-led, this new proactive technology puts people and companies back on the front foot. This is especially important for those still running Windows XP.”

CONFIRMED AND DONE TRANSFERS

CONFIRMED SUMMER TRANSFER NEWS                                                                                            

       Chelsea sign Francesc Fabregas                                                              

The former Barcelona and Arsenal  star has joined Chelsea on a five-year contract and will wear the number four shirt at the Bridge,he  reportedly left in a £30m deal .

Fabregas scored eight La Liga goals for Barcelona and provided a further 19 assists in 36 appearances last season and thanked the Catalan giants after sealing his move to Stamford Bridge though in a statement posted on Barca website,he was accused of tailing off in the second half of the season

Fabregas told the club's official website: "Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team.

"I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return.

"I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies. They have an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team and I can't wait to start playing."

Fabregas spent eight years in a Gunners shirt before going to Barca and many Arsenal fans would be unhappy to see him in a Blues shirt.

Manchester City Signs Bacary Sagna On A FreeTransfer.

The 31-year-old French right-back has completed  his long-awaited free transfer to Man.City after saying  an emotional goodbye to Arsenal on Thursday.He  joins the Premier League champions on a three-year contract after confirming on Thursday that he would not renew his deal at the Emirates Stadium.

The defender's future at the Gunners had been in doubt for a long time. Talks over a potential renewal began  in earnest in January but an agreement was not quickly forthcoming.

By the start of May, Arsenal feared that Sagna would jump ship to join a Premier League rival at the end of his deal, a concern that grew more real when the 31-year-old told the club that he would not stay beyond the summer.

Sagna joined the likes of Porto midfielder Fernando as City manager Manuel Pellegrini's top targets in the close-season and he opened formal negotiations with his soon-to-be-new side on May 19.

It leaves Arsene Wenger needing a new option at right-back, with Atletico Madrid's Juanfran and Toulouse star Serge Aurier chief among his considerations for the Frenchman's replacement.
