While  password cracking  and  WPS setup PIN attacks  get a lot of attention, social engineering attacks are by far the fastest way of  obtaining a Wi-Fi password . One of the most powerful Wi-Fi social engineering attacks is Wifiphisher, a tool that blocks the internet until desperate users enter the Wi-Fi password to enable a fake router firmware update. Social engineering attacks  are powerful because they often completely bypass security. If you can trick an employee into entering a password into a fake login page, it doesn’t really matter how strong the password is. This is the opposite of cracking attacks, where you’re using the computer’s processing power to try a giant list of passwords incredibly quickly. By nature of the way this attack works, you cannot succeed if the password you are attacking is strong and isn’t included in your password list. Not knowing how strong the password you are attacking is can be frustrating, because invest...

Procrastination is not only the thief of time, it is the creator of subtle inner tension. You know you are cheating yourself. There are three secrets to overcoming procrastination. One, don’t wait till you feel like doing it – the feeling will come only when you start doing it. Two, list all the things you have to do and then prioritise the list. Three, create a vision of the result and be motivated by the vision of the outcome, not the thought of the process. And the options to those ideas? One – ask for help. Two – completely forget about it, you don’t have to do anything! Three – if there is anything you can learn from the process then see it is action learning. Six ways to overcome procrastination…but you may have other ideas.

Knock-knock! Who’s there? Boo! Boo Who? Ok, I know it's an old joke, but that's the point, 24th July (or in some places 25th July) is TELL AN OLD JOKE DAY!!! (thanks Alan) Well any smile, even a wry smile can help change moods. Here's a brief story from Karina, posted on   https://www.passiton.com/ smile Just  a  couple of  days ago I was facing difficult times in my life, especially in school. One day after school, I sat on the bus with my face leaning on the window. A million thoughts were running through my mind. I couldn’t help the feeling of disappointment and failure. It so happened that the town was building a  side walk  and the police and the construction workers were there, so the bus stopped at a red light. I looked outside, a tall policeman looked at me, smiled and waved his hand to say hello and I smiled and waved my hand back at him. His smile was so contagious that I no longer felt sad and disappointed and from that moment on ...

A caged bird has the ability to fly, but is unable to spread its wings and soar. I need to remind myself that being enthusiastic in all situations is like being a free bird reaching great heights. When I experience this inner freedom and appreciate the joy it brings, I will be able to sustain it even when things go wrong. To be enthusiastic is to be free.

Edinburgh has always been famous for not giving change on their buses. Lothian have now rolled out contactless payments across their services from Wednesday, July 24th July Commuters can now go contactless with a daily cap on fares - similar to the system already in operation in London - in a first for Scotland. Customers will simply board the bus and tap their cards against the reader to pay for their ticket. However, after three or more taps, the fare will be capped at the Adult day ticket price, so locals are not paying over the odds for travel. Nigel Serafini, Lothian’s Commercial Director said: “We are delighted to have launched city-wide contactless payment for our customers. With more and more of our transactions becoming ‘cashless’, it was important to recognise the demand for this capability across our fleet.” “This has been at the top of customers’ wish lists for some time and we’re pleased to be able to deliver an easy and convenient method of payment, which r...

Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. You will see life with other eyes. You will discover language of the Supreme. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life. You will find it is easier than it seems.

You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care – all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

If at any time I begin to lose hope in myself, let me simply look inside my heart and see all the good actions I have ever performed, from the smallest to the grandest. When I see how much happiness I have given, I easily remember the purpose of my life.

A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialties. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.

Oh, how the headlines blared: “…the 2016 bot paradigm shift is going to be far more disruptive and interesting than the last decade’s move from Web to mobile apps.” Chatbots were  The Next Big Thing. Our hopes were sky high. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, the industry was ripe for a new era of innovation: it was time to start socializing with machines. And why wouldn’t they be? All the road signs pointed towards insane success. Messaging was huge! Conversational marketing was a sizzling new buzzword! WeChat! China! Plus, it was becoming clear that supply massively exceeded demand when it came to those pesky, hard-to-build apps. In fact, the only significant question around chatbots was  who  would monopolize the field,  not whether chatbots would take off in the first place : “Will a single platform emerge to dominate the chatbot and personal assistant ecosystem?” One year on, we have an answer to that question. No. Because t...
