Send Your Secrets And Let it Self Destruct the Mission Impossible Way


We all have seen Mission Impossible. Do you remember for every mission, Ethan Hunt takes up, he will be informed about the mission in a very unique way and at the end of the message it will say it will self-destruct? After that we see whatever medium that was used to communicate with Ethan Hunt blows up (Watch the video above for a clearer understanding). And we will be like WOW that’s awesome man. Well now you have a chance to do something similar like that just that it does not blows up. It shreds itself. This is a very interesting service (I think the first on the net) which is so easy, does not require any registration or logins and you can send an encrypted self-destructive note in 30 seconds. Cool huh? Let’s see what it is.

Hackers Can Be Funny Too. They Always Start With Their Neighbours.



Hacking has always been something very bad (well that is what people will think). Usually the perception of hackers is that they are this mean guys who sit with a Vendetta mask behind a keyboard and steal money from the bank or hack into the government facilities and steal confidential information. But there is this guy who is saying that why want to make hacking a bad thing, let’s make it a fun thing. For both hackers and the users (we hope they get fun). So this guy by the name Joshua Wright a.k.a. Will Hack For Sushi Guy created a virtual machine that is fun enough that can make the users (that we going to lure) either laugh their ass of or get irritated and annoyed.

Web Base Email Encryption: Mailvelope vs SecureGmail

After the PRISM’s intention has been shed on broad day light, people get paranoid over the things they do in the Net. Email is certainly one of their concerns. Given that the Electronic Communications Privacy Act is still in debate, this PRISM thingy is just adding in the horror. It is also said that any encrypted emails, messages or files will be kept even longer by the NSA until they see what’s inside the secure envelope you are sending out.

Today I am going to share with you ways to secure one aspect of the “Big Boy’s” watch list. The emails. Emails has been crucial nowadays from cooperate usage until personal usages. Gone were the days where people install email client in their machine to use emails (well some of them still do) but people nowadays are very happy in what the web base emails can give them. Cutting of the configuration time and getting the right settings on place, now you can do almost anything in web. There was something lacking in web base emails which is encryption. With email clients such as Thunderbird, Outlook and etc, you have the option to encrypt the emails using PGP methodology however in web based emails they are just not there yet (or maybe forever). Well I don’t think the email providers would ever do that feature built in their emails on web but however some people who are concerned about security made a few tools that can help us to achieve just that missing part in the web based emails.
