Why we need a strong password???

-

Technology can improve the lifestyle of an individual and also can destroy your lifestyle. With the usage of much internet, hackers also increasing. To be safe from them, the best weapon is a password. Just a password can't help you. You need a strong password that can't be guessed by anyone.


You may think about how hackers can access your account which contains weak passwords. It's simple for hackers to hack an account that has a weak password. Keep reading further you will find the answer.

Hackers have a method called Brute force attack, in which many usernames and common passwords are stored in a file. They will match every username with every password in that file. So that they can have our account if we use a common password. 

They will have a tool by which they will use every word in the dictionary so that if a person uses a word from a dictionary like a password, strong. They can hack you easily if your password is simple like this.

The best way to escape from this is to keep a strong password. You may ask me what are the features of a strong password. Let's continue

Features of Strong password:
1.Use alphabets, numbers, and special characters.
2.It's better it has a length above 6 characters.
3.Don't use the password which contains your name, use another character that is not present in your name.
4.Don't keep the same password for all the accounts, if they found for one they all the accounts will be in trouble.
5.Keep changing the passwords when you feel you are free.

You may ask that hackers will have so many tools to crack our passwords, then what is the use of a strong password?
To crack a normal password will take 10 min to one day but if you have a strong password with all the features I mentioned above takes more than 100 years of time. Because a strong password is a combination of all characters, to crack it they have to keep searching the combination. It is not easy to keep searching because there can be more than a million combinations. So it will take much time to crack a strong password.

why lays or kurkure is filled with air?

 Why air is filled in packets?  What is that air present in that packets?  Is it safe to take it?   The air inside this packet is Nitrogen. This air helps not to spoil. This increases the expiry date. You may get doubt. The reason is when you expose your food to normal air it leads to spoiling after few days. Nitrogen helps to increase life span. It is also a marketing strategy to show that the quantity is more. When we open it only half is filled in that packets. Nitrogen is a natural gas and it won't harm our health. It is a preservative gas. In 1994, scientists found that exposing chips to nitrogen not only helped to extend the shelf life but also made them taste better. " It may disappoint you that the packets are filled with air rather than products but remember it is to increase expiry date🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️"

With the increasing usage of computers, hackers are becoming more active to steal our data.  Say thanks to the firewall as it is protecting us from hackers or malicious data. Let us know the meaning of a firewall? A firewall is an important component in a network that filters the incoming and outgoing traffic based on the requests from the user or organization. It acts as a barrier between private networks and the public internet. Let us see the difference with and without a firewall If the firewall is not available while we are accessing data from the internet, hackers can easily enter into our computers and can steal data.
