It's never the hacker who hacks. It's YOU who allows hacker to hack.
We are emerging into a complete digital world. Just like our House makes us secure, similarly there are some measures to get ourselves secure in this Digital world. So why not to build your digital house with some free tips.
Here are some very simple tips you should follow to avoid any kind of hacking to your account.
1. Always use well known browsers.
Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera etc. Anyone might download a internet browser may be from some fancy ads, or fun or for experimenting. Never use or browse internet from any other browser. I mean never ever. * Even Facebook or gmail can be hacked if not adhere to this first tip, not a big deal.
2.Always use latest browser.
How much latest? Most of the modern browsers auto updates themselves. But check just your browser version once if it is latest or near to latest. If yes, this means your browser is getting auto updated. If no, you need to manually update it daily or figure out why it is not getting updated.
3. Make sure you trust the website you are providing personal information to.
If you think you need to access a website but it is not that famous or trustworthy, you can make a login but never provide any personal information like your phone number or your debit/credit information. You can provide your email but keep one more useless gmail id for such cases.
4. Review your Facebook and Google security settings.
Never ever login or post any information in a website which in unsecured. Secured website starts with https:// and unsecured with http://
6. Always use an anti-virus in your system.
It's good if you have a paid version of any Antivirus, however there are other several antivirus like Panda antivirus which is free.
7. Do not login Facebook, google or wherever you have your accounts through any link.
Facebook - Faecbook
Orkut - Okrut
Google - Goolge
Seems Similar names Eh!
If you are not sure about the spelling of the website, use google to search and open that website. For. eg. orkut.com accounts were hacked by okrut.com, the name seems similar but if you look closely r and k are exchanged.
8. Please share this article with your family and friends to contribute for making this world digitally secured.
In this era of lightening fast technologies, Virtual Reality is a very new and trendy concept. In general, “Virtual” means non-existing and “Reality” means what we experience as human beings. But in technical terms, Virtual Reality is an artificial environment that is created with the software and presented in the way that the user accepts it as a real environment. In other words, Virtual Reality is the use of computer technology which creates the effect of an interactive 3D world in which the objects have a sense of spatial presence.
Even a decade back, you might have seen many movies like "Star Wars" and I remember one of the Backstreet Boys Song - "Larger than Life..". The concept has been there for a very long time. However, the with recent technological advancements, it seems the future is really now!
Education
Virtual Reality is used for teaching and learning concepts. Through this, students can interact with large groups of students within a three-dimensional environment. It represents the complex data in an accessible way so that students can learn things with fun and also interact with objects in this virtual environment in order to discover more about them. For Example, students can learn about a solar system where they can move planets, see around stars and track the progress of a comet.
Business
Virtual Reality is very helpful in the field of Business. It includes many things such as Virtual trips of a business environment; provide complex training sessions to new employees in a virtual environment, 2D/3D view of a product, detecting design problems at an early stage etc. They can test their products in a virtual environment without any risk.
Virtual Museums
Use of virtual reality in the museum and historical settings e.g. visitor centers, interactive exhibitions. Through interactive technologies, children get an amazing experience and encourage them to visit and take part in these activities.
Video Games
Virtual Reality gaming is an entertainment environment where a person can interact with a game. They can detect person’s presence in a game through bio-sensing. These are small sensors which are attached to a data glove; suit so that they can transform your actions into appropriate responses on the screen.
Theme Parks
It makes head-mounted displays. They use high-definition movie screens, booming sounds and motorized seats to simulate adventures into space and beyond. This technology creates virtual reality roll coasters so it provides real-world coaster with a head-mounted display. Riders might be transported to the back of a dragon or other fantastical environments.
Healthcare & Clinical Therapies
Virtual Reality is being used in various medical fields like clinical therapy, anxiety disorder treatment, pain management, phobia treatment, robotic surgery, surgery simulation etc. With the help of HumanSim System, doctors, nurses, and others can learn new skills in a virtual environment and also interact with a patient to detect its problems without harming them. So they get experience with a series of sensors.
Military
Virtual Reality is used in the every field of the Military i.e. Army, Navy and Air Force. This is particularly used for training soldiers for combat and dangerous situations and they have to learn how to react in these situations. Through virtual reality simulation, Soldiers learn many things without the risk of a death or a serious injury. For Example, flight simulators are used to teach flying skills and they learn how to deal with emergency situations. So there are many Military uses of Virtual Reality such as Battlefield Simulation, Virtual boot camp, Vehicle Simulation etc.
Construction
There is an extremely scope of Virtual Reality in the construction field. In the virtual environment, an organization makes a structure in 3D and views a number of factors without the time and cost of the building structure. It is also used to train construction workers and employees so that they can fit in the working environment.
Fashion
Virtual Reality can be used in a variety of ways in Fashion field. It designs VR software for building virtual fashion stores where people can do shopping in a real 3D virtual mall which is designed to resemble a modern shopping mall. Virtual Reality creates 3D avatars to help with clothes design and 3D fashion portfolio. It also helps to arrange fashion show in a virtual environment.
Sports
Virtual Reality is used to give training in many sports such as golf, cycling, skiing, athletics etc. Through this, we can measure the performance of the sportsmen. They can learn various strategies of sports in a virtual 3D environment. It can be used to design sporting clothes and equipment, e.g. running shoe design.

With this sheet you can quickly refer the properties of different elements or components of a web page. Still it first requires the understanding of what each property do. You can click on the image and save it to your desktop for future references.
(Click to zoom)
CSS3 Browser Support
Almost all modern browsers support CSS3. Still it is important to consider older browsers as well in case we need to fallback to some other alternative to render the css properly. There are various css frameworks like bootstrap and foundation which takes care of this purpose of falling back to other alternative.
To test which all CSS3 properties your browser support, you can visit the below link:
http://css3test.com/
This is one of the most awaiting implementation in terms of creating interactive and real world web pages. CSS has introduced some properties through which we can changes the shape, size and position of the CSS3 elements.
Property
Value options
perspective
none | number
backface-visibility
visible | hidden
transform
none | matrix | matrix3d | translate3d | translateX | scale3d |

It is one of the most important concept of CSS3. Every HTML element is surrounded by a box weather its a div, span, paragraph, anchor etc. CSS3 Box Model concept revolves around Margin, Border, Padding, and Content of the box. This makes browser takes complete control on how the box and its contents will be rendered on the webpage.
The margin is transparent. It clears the area of outside the border. If margin width is 0, then the edge of margin is same as border edge.
Border defines the border of the box. If the border width is 0, then the edge of the border is same as padding edge.
Padding edge surrounds the box padding. It can be controlled by padding-top, padding-bottom, padding-left and padding-right.
Content is the actual area which contains real content of an element. It has color, image or background. We can also set the width, the height of the content box.
CSS3 Selectors used to select different elements on the webpage and manipulate their properties. There are different selectors with which we can select one or more elements in the webpage.
Selector
Description
.<className>
It is used to select all elements with .<className> class
#<identifierName>
It is used to select all elements with id attribute set to <identifierName>
*
It is used to select all elements.
div
It is used to select div elements
[attribute]
It is used to select all elements with the specified attribute
[attribute=value]
It is used to select all elements where the specified attribute is equal to value
a: link
It is used to select all unvisited links.
a: active
It is used to select the active link and so on.
Box Layout
This property is used to set the layout of the box in the Webpage. It is very new in CSS3. The template is tested to check its compatibility with all requirements on multiple platforms.
CSS3 borders are used to set the borders of a container which can be div, span, paragraph etc. It includes for different properties left, right, top, bottom in the webpage.
CSS3 Font properties are used to set the font used in different textual components of a webpage.
Property
Value options
font-size
xx-small | x-small | small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large and so on
font-family
family-name | generic family
font-style
normal | italic | oblique | inherit
font-weight
normal | bold | bolder | lighter | 100 | 200 | 300 and so on
font-variant
normal | small-caps | inherit
Example
p {
font-style:italic;
font-family:'Arial';
font-size:xx-large;
font-weight:bolder;
font-variant:small-caps;
}
CSS3 Text
CSS Text properties are used to set the general text properties like we used to do in any text editor like Word. Same textual decorations can be achieved in the webpage with the help of these properties.
CSS is an acronym for Cascading Style Sheet. Cascading - Declare once use anywhere. Cascade the styling rules to any level, from parent to child level elements. Style Sheet - Defines style rules.
CSS3 is the extended version of CSS2. CSS3 has arrived with so many new features and enhancements can make any webpage a gem with fewer efforts.
We will cover here CSS selector syntax, properties, browser support, and useful information about its all controls. Its a quick guide so we will cover a more crisp cheat sheet kind of guide rather than the detailed one. To know more about CSS from basic please follow the link - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/CSS_basics
CSS3 Word Wrap
Word Wrap is a property of CSS3 that is used to break the words and wrap into next line.
Syntax Word-wrap : normal | break-word | initial | inherit
Normal - break the line at normal word break points.
Break-word - unbreakable word breaks into a new line.
Initial - used to set a default value.
Inherit - used to take computed value.
Example
p {
width:100px;

One time password is a high demand authentication functionality in today's time while login into the system, making some transaction or taking some high risk action in the system. It provides an additional security in our application. Passwords can be hacked or guessed that depends on the password security policy of your website. However, the one time password give you a password in your email or your mobile number which can be used one time only and is valid for few minutes. Messages sent to your mobile numbers are secured in a way that you can only see them in your mobile.
Implementing one time password is really simple in Nodejs by using Passwordless and Twilio node packages. Please follow the below steps which will setup your webpage where you can enter your mobile number and then you will receive a 6 digit OTP in your own mobile number. Then you can verify the same and if verified then redirected to the login page.
Create an account in Twilio
Goto twilio.com and create an account by signing up. After this you will be logged in to twilio.
How Twilio works
There is an official description of how Twilio works:
In the above page there is a step-by-step demo to create a phone number and send a test sms.
- Note down this phone number.
Note the API credentials
On the same page, click on "Show API credentials" on the right side of the page and note down the these two parameters - Account SID and AUTH Token
Install mongodb in your system (if not already installed).
If you have setup the mongodb without authentication, then your connection string will simply be - 'mongodb://localhost:<port>/passwordless-sms'
Replace <port> with your mongodb port (typically 27017).
If you have setup mongodb with authentication, then your connection string will be - 'mongodb://<dbUserId>:<dbPassword>@localhost:<port>/passwordless-sms'
Replace <port> with mongodb port.
Replace <dbUserId> with mongodb database user id.
Replace <dbPassword> with mongodb database password.
Open the app.js in your favourite editor and edit the below lines:
Find this lines
accountSid = 'TWILIO_SID'
and replace the TWILIO_SID with your Account SID which you have noted down before.
Now, find this line
authToken = 'TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'
and replace the TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN with the AUTH Token you noted down before.
Now, find this line
from: "TWILIO_NUMBER"
and replace the TWILIO_NUMBER with the phone number you noted down before.
Now, find this line
db = 'mongodb://localhost/passwordless-sms';
and replace this mongodb connection string with the connection string you made earlier.
Generating 6 digit OTP
Open nodejs console and go the github repository directory in your system. Execute the below command in console
npm install random-js --save
Open the app.js again find the below function
tokenAlgorithm:function() {
// custom token generator// short random token generator, enough to fit into single SMSreturn'12345'
}
and replace this function with below line of code:
tokenAlgorithm:function() {
var random =new Random(Random.engines.mt19937().autoSeed());
console.log(random);
var value = random.integer(100000, 999999);
console.log(value);
return value.toString();
}
Running our app to test
In node console execute the command
node app.js
Open the browser and enter this URL
http://localhost:9000
Type your mobile number with country code. You will receive a 6 digit OTP in your mobile number. Then in next page enter that 6 digit OTP and you will be logged in.
Note : You should also code out the token timeout functionality. When passwordless saves a token in mongodb, its timestamp is also saved. So, while OTP verification, you should get that timestamp and check if it is within range of our timeout setting and throw exception otherwise.

Angular 4.0 is now officially released on 23rd March 2017.
You might probably be wondering it was Angular 2 that was running and now Angular 4. Where has Angular 3 gone?
The answer is much simpler than you might expect. The angular core team have certain components which have been targeted to 4.0 while the Angular core was still in 3.0. These components are necessary angular components and has to be shipped with Angular library. So to cope with this conflict, they have skipped version 3 and target all the components to version 4.0 only.
One of the great thing about Angular 4 is that it is backward compatible with Angular 2.
Angular releases over 2.0
Release
Features
2.1
Route Preloading
2.2
Ahead of Time (AOT) + ngUpgrade
2.3
Language Service.
* The language service is useful for IDEs to integrate with Typescript. Its not just they are shipping the compiler. Its been better now to show errors and warnings on the fly.
Angular transition from 2.3 to 3.0
Release
Features
Patch 2.3.1
No Features, No Breaking Changes
Minor 2.3.0
New Features, No Breaking changes
Major 3.0.0
New Features, Potential breaking changes
Angular team has clearly mentioned that every release will be - Predictable, Transparent and Incremental. It will not be like what happened when the transition took place from Angular 1 to Angular 2.
Angular 4 future evolution (Tentative schedule)
Angular 5 - September / October 2017 Angular 6 - March 2018 Angular 7 - September/October 2018
Upgrading to Angular 4
It's very easy to upgrade to Angular 4 from Angular 2 app. We just need to run the following commands.
Now Angular app can be rendered on the server using Angular Universal. For more info check out https://universal.angular.io/
Semver (Semantic Versioning) now
Angular Team will now be using Semver to version their releases. For more details to Semver you can visit http://semver.org/
Angular 4 new features
Animations
Animations now have their own package @angular/platform-browser/animations
Templates
The template tag has been changed to ng-template. The template tag being more generic to other frameworks, Angular has made it to ng-template.
Else is now supported with ngIf
<div*ngIf="stack.length > 0; else handleBlank"><p>The stack has some elements.</p><ng-template#handleBlank>Stack is empty. Please add some numbers.
the handleBlank is a local reference to the ng-template. We use this reference name in the else clause of the ngIf. The old way will still work.
Typescript 2.2 is supported now.
Since Angular 2 release, the team has made the Angular framework easy to code with Typescript (it can still be used with javascript and dart). Typescript is a syntactical sugar. Typescript 2.2 is supported now in Angular 4. For more info visit https://www.typescriptlang.org/
The 'as' keyword
The 'as' keyword is used to store the output of a result in a temporary variable. For. e.g.
<div ngif="let price of book | currency as LocalPrice; index as = i">
{{i}} ) {{book.Name}} - LocalPrice
</div>
It can effectively be used as an output of async result.
observable_or_promise_expression | async as result
{{result.prop}}
Http
Search parameters have been simplified in http request.
A new pipe has been introduced with the Angular pipes collection that is - titlecase. It changes the first letter of each word to the uppercase. For e.g. the below code will display "Hello World".
<p>{{ 'hello world' | titlecase }}</p>
Test
To override a template in a test has been simplified.
An email validator is introduced along with other validators in Angular. The email validation can be done with Regex, however since email is very frequently used field, so it does make sense to introduce a inbuilt validator for this.
HTML5 comes with Geolocation API which allows user to provide their location to the web application. This is totally secure and user will always be asked for permission whether or not to provide information about their location.
The Geolocation API is provided with navigator.geolocation object of the BOM (Browser Object Model)
Current Position
To obtain the user's current location, you can call the getCurrentPosition() method of the geolocation object. It takes the success function as first parameter which setups position object in the function argument. The second parameter is an error function which setups error object in the function argument.
We can get the longitude and latitude from this position object as:
position.coords.latitude
position.coords.longitude
Watch Position
If the position data changes (either by device movement or if more accurate geo information arrives), you can set up a callback function that is called with that updated position information. This is done using the watchPosition() function, which has the same input parameters as getCurrentPosition().
var watchID = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(function(position) {
});
We can use the watchid value in tandem with the clearWatch() method to stop watching the user's location.
navigator.geolocation.clearWatch(watchID);
