How Cell Jammer Works?

Cell Jammers are originally developed by law of enforcement and military to interrupt calls by criminals and terrorists. Before discussing about how Jammer works let's know little about mobile network and mobile phones. Mobile communicates to its network using base station or cell tower. As mobile moves from place to place the signals are handed from one tower to another. Mobile phones are full duplex device which use different frequencies for sending and receiving.

Cell Jammer

A Jammer Blocks or jams mobiles from receiving signals from base station. Jammers are of different sizes. Small hand held jammer blocks all bands within 9 meters range and larger jammer blocks mobile communication within 9kms/5miles. Small Jammer uses battery of mobile and large has to be charged. Jammer blocks not only calls but also internet, messaging and even emergency calls.

How Cell Jammer Works?

Jammers can work by either disrupting phone to tower frequencies or tower to phone frequencies. Jammer generally blocks signals coming from base station or cell tower because towers are placed far away and signals coming from that tower will have less frequency. Jammer sends radio waves along with same frequency that mobile uses causing enough interference with the communication between cell phones and towers making mobile unusable. Simply to say "Jammers block signal frequency by transmitting relatively high power signals (noise) on the same frequency. Because of this high power, a cell phone can’t identify the signal from tower and it keeps searching for signals".

Used - at places of worship, library to maintain silence, in Parliament to avoid disturbances and to prevent leakage of  information, in Army to block calls by criminals and terrorists and in schools and colleges to blocks calls of students.

What is Bluejacking?

Bluejacking, a hacking method by which an individual can send bulk messages to Bluetooth enabled devices with in certain radius(normally the range of Bluetooth is 10metres for mobile phones but for laptops it is 100metres with intense transmission) without pairing.

This doesn't involve any hijacking as in the name. Bluejacker can only send unsought messages. Hijacking doesn't actually occur here because the attacker will not govern the victim's device. At worst, Bluejacking is a vexation.

How Bluejacking can be done?

This is very simple and is explained below:
1). Select an area with plenty of mobile users.
2). Go to contacts in your address book. Create a new contact. 
3). Enter the message you want to send in the name part. Save the new contact.



4). Choose send via bluetooth.


5). Then it searches for any Bluetooth enabled device with in the range.

6). Choose one phone and send the contact.
7). You will get message like in below picture showing message is sent.


Bluejacking can be prevented by setting a device in hidden, invisible or non-discoverable mode. However through this Bluejacking we don't have any harm to data in our phone. But there are certain techniques which will look quite similar to Bluejacking and can gain control over the data in our phones. Bluesnarfing and Bluebugging however are the actual attacks that may result in user loosing control on his device. These techniques will be explained in coming posts.

Fuel cell: A revolution in technology

-->

In a world where alternative energy sources became very pivotal to preserve the ecosystem that have been cherishing us, one of the most serviceable technologies is the fuel cell.


what is fuel cell?
A fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, water, and heat through electro-chemical reactions. In the below picture you can see the fuel cell battery.

Fuel cell technology:
Every single fuel cell has two electrodes an anode and cathode basically. The reactions that take place between the two electrodes are the one which produce electricity in the end. Hydrogen is the fuel used but for the reactions to occur the cells also need oxygen. The below picture shows the reaction taking place in fuel cell.

No harm done to environment:  One very interesting and positive aspect of fuel cells is that they manage to produce electricity with out polluting the environment, and that’s because hydrogen and oxygen – needed in the reaction combine to produce a neutral byproduct, which is water.

Fuel cell in car:

Single fuel cell will produce energy which is scanty. So, in order to produce a usable amount of energy lot of fuel cells are combined and the energy generated from this can fuel a car.

Fuel cell technology in smart phones and tablets: The fuel cell comes with a USB port and is the size of a thicker smartphone. The power comes from the cartridges filled with lighter fluid. Pretty ingenious. The below picture shows the fuel cell battery charger:

Though fuel cell technology Seems to be very small but the idea in it is very useful as it is environmental friendly. Certainly this type of technology will pave it's way to smart environment in future.

How to Restore Corrupted File Associations?

What is File Association?

File association means a file with an application capable of opening  that file(usually determined by their filename.extension). For example we open images with Windows Picture Viewer, Video files with Windows Media Player or Vlc Player or with some other media player. Without these it is impossible to run/open any type of file because windows could not recognize the files.

File Association Problems

Sometimes these file associations will get corrupted due to virus attacks on the system. If all the file associations are attacked with virus then the best method is system restore. What if it is turn off and there is no previous point from which you can restore? There is no option other than to repair or format the PC.

This December World's governments meet to decide the future of the internet which is called WCIT(World Conference on International Telecommunications) and is Organized by ITU(International Telecommunication Union). Internet is an open network, neither controlled by a single organization nor an individual.  There are proposals to monitor and reduce the internet traffic for various reasons, increasing privacy on web, restricting open internet access, blocking some websites etc. If these proposals at WCIT are approved internet will become top-down regulated by ITU which will increase censorship and threaten innovation.  To stop this add your voice to support free and open internet.
