Phishing and social hacking are the most wide spread methods of hacking nowadays. Social hacking can be used to trick web users into revealing confidential data. Hackers can create clones of popular websites or pose as support center executives asking for usernames and passwords. Thousands of twitter, facebook, email and rapidshare file sharing accounts get hacked everyday using these methods. Protection from social hacking needs a lot of awareness. However Phishing attacks can be easily detected using some tools available both online and on desktop. Here I will talk about two such tools which are both effective and free to use.

Phishing Protection on Desktop

Using a free antivirus software may not help you every time as their functionality is limited, but for this purpose AVG Link scanner can be helpful. It is a small application that checks every web URL just as you click them. It not only scans a single website but also every link you click within the website.

download-firefox-4

Mozilla has silently posted the first “candidate build” for the Beta 1 of its Firefox 4 browser. If you're the type to live life on the edge, you can straight away try it out on your PC/Mac. The early version has many of the upcoming features we have already heard about, including a new menu button that aggregates the most frequently used browser menu options, native compatibility with Windows Vista and 7's Aero Glass interface, a customizable tab bar, and a bookmarks button. The latest Firefox 4 beta 1 doesn't look much different than Firefox 3.7-a6-pre build but includes smoother execution, and fix to frequent occurrence of crashes. The final release of Firefox 4 is slated for November 2010, though we expect it to happen much before that. According to Mozilla, the Firefox 4 will have new UI which will have a central permissions manager, a new add-on manager and will reduce clutter. The beta 1 candidate has also included support to HTML 5, a must-have feature now-a-days. The java script engine though, needs a lot of tuning as far as its performance goes. The rendering of menu bar on Windows Vista remains a problem, which...

Use Separate Firefox Builds on Same System

by
Tiny Tip
I have been using Firefox 3.6.6 ever since my build was updated a few days ago. And now when I heard of Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 being released I thought of giving it a try. What really had me stuck was that whenever I ran firefox.exe from the nightly build (Firefox 4.0 Beta 1), it ran the same Firefox version that I was previously using i.e. 3.6.6. I had no intentions of parting with my add-ons and settings for the current stable build and replace it with nightly, so I started looking for the solution, to run both the builds without either of them interfering with the other.

Firefox

Firefox uses profiles to manage user settings, bookmarks and extensions. When, for the first time, Firefox is installed a default profile is created along with the install. If more than one build is installed on a system, both by default use the same profile folder thus using the same profile. As the builds are different many a times there is a problem with compatibility of add-ons and general settings. So, to solve this particular problem this is what is to be done.
