Enterprise security

2021-01-23T12:11:00.001+05:30

If you want to secure your enterprise then you should do the following things:

* Keep all data (of users, clients, employees, etc.) encrypted. These days CPUs are fast enough to encrypt / decrypt data in seconds. So, there will be no noticeable delay. Also, no hacker can do any damage if he / she gets encrypted data.

* At least keep all sensitive data (like credit card numbers, passwords, date of birth, Government ID number, etc.) encrypted. No hacker can do any damage if he / she gets encrypted data.

* Force all passwords to be at least 15 characters long even if the password is simple. 15 characters long password will take more than 8,000 years to be cracked by the fastest super computer.

* Force password change every 3 months and the new password should not be the same as the previous 3 passwords. But please make sure that you are storing previous and current passwords in encrypted mode.

* Do not use Microsoft IIS server as your web server. Always go for unix / linux based web server. Never do / take Windows hosting, always do / take unix / linux hosting.

* Support only https for all your web pages. Redirect http requests to https.

* Check all used ports on those systems that have a public IP address. Check where these ports are connected to (IP address and name of remote host) and check the status of ports (listening, connected, time_wait, etc.). This will show if there are any suspicious connections.

* All Windows / Mac systems should have an anti-virus software installed on them.

Unbreakable passwords

Longer simple passwords are better than shorter passwords with special characters.

If someone is trying to hack your password by using a computer program then for this program, a special character is just another character, there is nothing special about it.

So, now, simple logic tells us that a computer program will take more time to crack longer passwords than shorter passwords (having so called special characters).

So, "ilovenewyorkusa" (15 characters - i love new york usa) is much harder to crack than "fg5#@$_/7-+" (11 characters - having special characters).

A 11 characters password will take around 2 hours to be cracked by the fastest super computer but a 15 characters password will take more than 8,000 years to be cracked by the fastest super computer.

Mughals

Why are Mughals glorified in Indian history. They didn't do any good to India.

Best sport

2020-12-28T15:40:00.001+05:30

The best sport in this world is badminton because it keeps you fit. In badminton, both your hands and legs get exercised continuosly and that too at a fast pace. There is no other sport that can match this.

Chess

2020-12-24T16:55:00.001+05:30

People say playing chess improves decision making in real life and also improves mind for solving real life's challenges and problems.

But this is wrong.

In chess pieces behave in a pre-defined way but in real life humans behaviour cannot be predicted.

The above mentioned reason is strong enough to prove that there is no correlation between playing chess and solving real life's challenges / problems.

They both (chess and real life) present totally different problems in totally different constraints and so, solving problems in one of them is not going to help in solving problems in another.

The zoo

A zoo is a wonderful place. You get to see many types of animals and birds. Giraffes look awesome when watched from close quarters. But the most interesting animals are the multi-colored birds. They are so full of color that watching them is joyful.

My childhood town didn't have a big zoo (actually, 90% of animals there were deers) but when I was a child, I used to get to see other animals whenever a circus visited our town. I used to see tigers, lions, elephants, hippopotamus, etc. in the circus show.

Bablu

2020-12-22T11:54:00.001+05:30

Bablu is a 12 year old boy. He is from a middle class family. He studies in class VII. He likes playing games. His favorite games are cricket and chess. His favorite subject is Maths. His father is a district sales manager in a reputed firm. His mother is a housewife.

Bablu's father owns a car. He had bought the car on EMI. Bablu's father is planning to buy a small 2BHK flat next year.

Bablu is happy with his life because he does not have many needs and almost all his needs (small, he does not have big needs) are fulfilled by his parents.

He has many friends, in school and in the apartment complex (currently his family is living in a 2BHK flat) and so he has lots of fun with his friends.

He is average in his studies but he aspires to become a doctor. His father has asked him to study harder and score at least 80% in all exams. But right now, Bablu has not taken this seriously. Currently, he is scoring around 70% in exams. But he knows that he will have to work harder so that he can become a doctor.

Becoming a doctor is his dream because his father had told him that a doctor's profession is the best profession in India. His father told him that a good doctor earns lot of money and lot of respect in society. So, his father said that if he becomes a good doctor then he will lead a very comfortable life and he will get respect in society.

Australia dominates world cricket because Australia has large cricket fields and fast pitches. India should do the same if it wants to dominate world cricket.
