Hacker Group Plans to Kill Facebook on Nov. 5, 2011

A hacker group known as Anonymous have said they will "kill" Facebook on November 5, in retaliation to what it calls a breach of privacy.

The most popular social media site in the world - Facebook has over 500 million registered users - has been selling information to government agencies and given access to information security firms to allow them to "spy on people", the hacker group alleged.

In a video posted on Youtube, the secret organisation called on "willing hacktivists" to join them in their battle against Facebook and privacy.

"Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your 'privacy' settings, and deleting your account is impossible," it says.

Anonymous said it will take down the website on November 5.

"Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed," it said.

"If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy."

Anonymous has been linked to a number of incidents, including bringing down the Playstation Network and hacking into the CIA.

They've also been linked to the hacking of the websites of infamous church Westboro Baptist.

The organisation is made up of hackers around the world who believe in the same goals set by the group.

What is Steganography

Steganography is the art and science of hiding messages. Steganography is often combined with cryptography so that even if the message is discovered it cannot be read. The word steganography is derived from the Greek words “steganos” and “graphein”, which mean “covered” and “writing.” Steganography, therefore, is covered writing. Historical stenganography involved techniques such as disappearing ink or microdots. Modern steganography involves hiding data in computer files. It is fairly easy to hide a secret message in a graphic file without obviously altering the visible appearance of that file. Steganography software OutGuess is a universal steganographic tool that allows the insertion of hidden information into the redundant bits of data sources. The nature of the data source is irrelevant to the core of OutGuess. The program relies on data specific handlers that will extract redundant bits and write them back after modification. In this version the PNM and JP

Windows Basic Security tutorial

Hey guys, I just wanted to quickly write a tutorial about some basic computer security. First, you have Windows 7 installed freshly with no current infections. A fresh install is best. Second, you are a moderate user of the internet. Basic Security Applications You are going to want a few applications to help you out along the way. First off, you will need two (2) anti-malware programs. This is to ensure that if one misses something, you have a second one to make sure. I personally use Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM). Update these as often as they need to be. Run both of these every single day. Once a week minimum, but daily is far more advantageous. If you torrent, you will want PeerBlock . PeerBlock basically blocks your peers, especially RIAA, the govt, and other unsavory sorts from tracking who you are and what you're downloading. If you don't use PeerBlock, you can almost guarantee getting cau
