An adversarial iMessage client for Android

Adversarial interoperability is one of the most reliable ways to protect tech users from predatory corporations: that's when a technologist reverse-engineers an existing product to reconfigure or mod it (interoperability) in ways its users like, but which its manufacturer objects to (adversarial):
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interoperability
"Adversarial interop" is a mouthful, so at EFF, we coined the term "competitive compatibility," or comcom, which is a lot easier to say and to spell.
Scratch any tech success and you'll find a comcom story. After all, when a company turns its screws on its users, it's good business to offer an aftermarket mod that loosens them again. HP's $10,000/gallon inkjet ink is like a bat-signal for third-party ink companies. When Mercedes announces that it's going to sell you access to your car's accelerator pedal as a subscription service, that's like an engraved invitation to clever independent mechanics who'll charge you a single fee to permanently unlock that "feature":
https://www.techdirt.com/2023/12/05/carmakers-push-forward-with-plans-to-make-basic-features-subscription-services-despite-widespread-backlash/
Comcom saved giant tech companies like Apple. Microsoft tried to kill the Mac by rolling out a truly cursèd version of MS Office for MacOS. Mac users (5% of the market) who tried to send Word, Excel or Powerpoint files to Windows users (95% of the market) were stymied: their files wouldn't open, or they'd go corrupt. Tech managers like me started throwing the graphic designer's Mac and replacing it with a Windows box with a big graphics card and Windows versions of Adobe's tools.
Comcom saved Apple's bacon. Apple reverse-engineered MS's flagship software suite and made a comcom version, iWork, whose Pages, Numbers and Keynote could flawlessly read and write MS's Word, Excel and Powerpoint files:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/06/adversarial-interoperability-reviving-elegant-weapon-more-civilized-age-slay
It's tempting to think of iWork as benefiting Apple users, and certainly the people who installed and used it benefited from it. But Windows users also benefited from iWork. The existence of iWork meant that Windows users could seamlessly collaborate on and share files with their Mac colleagues. IWork didn't just add a new feature to the Mac ("read and write files that originated with Windows users") – it also added a feature to Windows: "collaborate with Mac users."
Every pirate wants to be an admiral. Though comcom rescued Apple from a monopolist's sneaky attempt to drive it out of business, Apple – now a three trillion dollar company – has repeatedly attacked comcom when it was applied to Apple's products. When Apple did comcom, that was progress. When someone does comcom to Apple, that's piracy.
Apple has many tools at its disposal that Microsoft lacked in the early 2000s. Radical new interpretations of existing copyright, contract, patent and trademark law allows Apple – and other tech giants – to threaten rivals who engage in comcom with both criminal and civil penalties. That's right, you can go to prison for comcom these days. No wonder Jay Freeman calls this "felony contempt of business model":
https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/09/lead-me-not-into-temptation/#chamberlain
Take iMessage, Apple's end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) instant messaging tool. Apple customers can use iMessage to send each other private messages that can't be read or altered by third parties – not cops, not crooks, not even Apple. That's important, because when private messaging systems get hacked, bad things happen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_celebrity_nude_photo_leak
But Apple has steadfastly refused to offer an iMessage app for non-Apple systems. If you're an Apple customer holding a sensitive discussion with an Android user, Apple refuses to offer you a tool to maintain your privacy. Those messages are sent "in the clear," over the 38-year-old SMS protocol, which is trivial to spy on and disrupt.
Apple sacrifices its users' security and integrity in the hopes that they will put pressure on their friends to move into Apple's walled garden. As CEO Tim Cook told a reporter: if you want to have secure communications with your mother, buy her an iPhone:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tim-cook-says-buy-mom-210347694.html
Last September, a 16-year old high school student calling himself JJTech published a technical teardown of iMessage, showing how any device could send and receive encrypted messages with iMessage users, even without an Apple ID:
https://jjtech.dev/reverse-engineering/imessage-explained/
JJTech even published code to do this, in an open source library called Pypush:
https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush
In the weeks since, Beeper has been working to productize JJTech's code, and this week, they announced Beeper Mini, an Android-based iMessage client that is end-to-end encrypted:
https://beeper.notion.site/How-Beeper-Mini-Works-966cb11019f8444f90baa314d2f43a54
Beeper is known for a multiprotocol chat client built on Matrix, allowing you to manage several kinds of chat from a single app. These multiprotocol chats have been around forever. Indeed, iMessage started out as one – when it was called "iChat," it supported Google Talk and Jabber, another multiprotocol tool. Other tools like Pidgin have kept the flame alive for decades, and have millions of devoted users:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/07/tower-babel-how-public-interest-internet-trying-save-messaging-and-banish-big
But iMessage support has remained elusive. Last month, Nothing launched Sunchoice, a disastrous attempt to bring iMessage to Android, which used Macs in a data-center to intercept and forward messages to Android users, breaking E2EE and introducing massive surveillance risks:
https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/21/23970740/sunbird-imessage-app-shut-down-privacy-nothing-chats-phone-2
Beeper Mini does not have these defects. The system encrypts and decrypts messages on the Android device itself, and directly communicates with Apple's servers. It gathers some telemetry for debugging, and this can be turned off in preferences. It sends a single SMS to Apple's servers during setup, which changes your device's bubble from green to blue, so that Apple users now correctly see your device as a secure endpoint for iMessage communications.
Beeper Mini is now available in Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima&hl=en_US
Now, this is a high-stakes business. Apple has a long history of threatening companies like Beeper over conduct like this. And Google has a long history deferring to those threats – as it did with OG App, a superior third-party Instagram app that it summarily yanked after Meta complained:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/05/battery-vampire/#drained
But while iMessage for Android is good for Android users, it's also very good for Apple customers, who can now get the privacy and security guarantees of iMessage for all their contacts, not just the ones who bought the same kind of phone as they did. The stakes for communications breaches have never been higher, and antitrust scrutiny on Big Tech companies has never been so intense.
Apple recently announced that it would add RCS support to iOS devices (RCS is a secure successor to SMS):
https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/
Early word from developers suggests that this support will have all kinds of boobytraps. That's par for the course with Apple, who love to announce splashy reversals of their worst policies – like their opposition to right to repair – while finding sneaky ways to go on abusing its customers:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/22/vin-locking/#thought-differently
The ball is in Apple's court, and, to a lesser extent, in Google's. As part of the mobile duopoly, Google has joined with Apple in facilitating the removal of comcom tools from its app store. But Google has also spent millions on an ad campaign shaming Apple for exposing its users to privacy risks when talking to Android users:
https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23883609/google-rcs-message-apple-iphone-ipager-ad
While we all wait for the other shoe to drop, Android users can get set up on Beeper Mini, and technologists can kick the tires on its code libraries and privacy guarantees.

Proton, the secure-minded email and productivity suite, is becoming a nonprofit foundation, but it doesn't want you to think about it in the way you think about other notable privacy and web foundations.
"We believe that if we want to bring about large-scale change, Proton can’t be billionaire-subsidized (like Signal), Google-subsidized (like Mozilla), government-subsidized (like Tor), donation-subsidized (like Wikipedia), or even speculation-subsidized (like the plethora of crypto “foundations”)," Proton CEO Andy Yen wrote in a blog post announcing the transition. "Instead, Proton must have a profitable and healthy business at its core."
The announcement comes exactly 10 years to the day after a crowdfunding campaign saw 10,000 people give more than $500,000 to launch Proton Mail. To make it happen, Yen, along with co-founder Jason Stockman and first employee Dingchao Lu, endowed the Proton Foundation with some of their shares. The Proton Foundation is now the primary shareholder of the business Proton, which Yen states will "make irrevocable our wish that Proton remains in perpetuity an organization that places people ahead of profits." Among other members of the Foundation's board is Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of HTML, HTTP, and almost everything else about the web.
Of particular importance is where Proton and the Proton Foundation are located: Switzerland. As Yen noted, Swiss foundations do not have shareholders and are instead obligated to act "in accordance with the purpose for which they were established." While the for-profit entity Proton AG can still do things like offer stock options to recruits and even raise its own capital on private markets, the Foundation serves as a backstop against moving too far from Proton's founding mission, Yen wrote.
There’s a lot more Proton to protect these days
Proton has gone from a single email offering to a wide range of services, many of which specifically target the often invasive offerings of other companies (read, mostly: Google). You can now take your cloud files, passwords, and calendars over to Proton and use its VPN services, most of which offer end-to-end encryption and open source core software hosted in Switzerland, with its notably strong privacy laws.
None of that guarantees that a Swiss court can't compel some forms of compliance from Proton, as happened in 2021. But compared to most service providers, Proton offers a far clearer and easier-to-grasp privacy model: It can't see your stuff, and it only makes money from subscriptions.

Selecting the best restaurant management software: features to look for

Best restaurant management software features
When you search for the best restaurant management software for your restaurant, you will find an overwhelming number of options that are sure to confuse you. So, how to pick the best one? The answer lies in the features of a restaurant POS system.
Find out the must-have features for a restaurant management system:
Security
Your restaurant POS system regularly deals with confidential customer information like their payment details, contact information, etc, and ensuring their security should be a priority to build trust and credibility. Ensure that the restaurant software you choose has end-to-end encryption and a secure payment system.
Speed
One of the most important factors of the best restaurant management software is its speed. It must be able to work efficiently during rush hours when the order flow usually doubles. If the system slows down or crashes, then it could pose a serious challenge to your operational efficiency and business reputation. While scrutinizing event management software, do not forget to check its speed and its ability to handle pressure.
Scalability
Scalability is extremely important for a restaurant management solution to stay aligned with the changes that take place. Whether it is about managing restaurants from different locations or adding new features, your software must be able to deliver that without affecting the performance.
Mobile Accessibility
Make sure that the restaurant POS system you choose offers you the flexibility to manage your restaurant operation through your mobile phone. Opening a desktop for minor works can be a hassle. Tracking orders, deliveries, customer data, table registration, and more through phones is extremely beneficial and convenient.
Table booking management
Table reservation is a crucial part of a restaurant, and that is why, while filtering restaurant management software, look for a restaurant management system that offers a table booking system.
Order and delivery management
A restaurant POS system is incomplete without an online ordering and delivery management system. Search for a restaurant menu software that provides you with 100% admin control over the orders and delivery management.
Technical support
Technical support ensures that everything runs smoothly. Opt for a restaurant management system that offers technical support when required. This is important because if you face any technical issues, they can solve them promptly.

IoT Security Challenges in India: Protecting Smart Homes & Connected Devices
IoT is transforming the way people live by making their homes smart with devices such as security cameras, smart locks, and voice assistants. In India, IoT technology is adopted at a pace that cyber threats are rising rapidly. With weak security protocols, outdated software, and unawareness, Indian households are vulnerable to cyberattacks. In this blog, we will explore the major IoT security challenges in India and how individuals can safeguard their smart homes and connected devices. If you are looking to strengthen your understanding of cybersecurity, enrolling in a cyber security course can be a game-changer.
The IoT Boom in India
India is witnessing the highest adoption of IoT across homes and businesses. From smart TVs to intelligent thermostats, IoT is revolutionizing life. This booming technology, however, offers a large target size for hackers too who exploit the vulnerability of devices to gain unauthorized access to data.
Fundamental Drivers of IoT Adoption in India:
Increased internet penetration with low-priced data plans
Government initiatives such as Smart Cities Mission and Digital India
Increasing adoption of smart home devices as they become increasingly affordable
Growing application of industrial IoT in health, agriculture, and manufacturing
Chief IoT Security Challenges in India
Poor Authentication & Default Passwords
Most IoT devices have a factory-set password that the user ignores or fails to change. Hackers exploit these default credentials to take over the devices, entry private networks, and crack sensitive information.
Lack of Security Updates & Patches
Most smart devices have limited or no firmware updates, which makes them vulnerable to cyber threats. Many Indian consumers do not check for security updates, leaving their devices susceptible to known exploits.
Data Privacy Concerns
Smart devices collect vast amounts of personal data, from voice recordings to daily routines. Without stringent data protection policies, this information can be misused or leaked by malicious actors.
Botnet Attacks & DDoS Threats
Cybercriminals hijack unprotected IoT devices to form botnets, which are used to launch massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks can cripple networks and cause disruptions to online services.
Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks
Many Indian households rely on poorly secured Wi-Fi connections, providing an easy entry point for hackers. Without encryption or strong passwords, attackers can intercept sensitive information and compromise connected devices.
Absence of Specific Cybersecurity Legislation for IoT
India has advanced in data protection with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, but there is no dedicated IoT security framework. The absence of it leaves the manufacturer to choose cost over security and sell devices which are not so well protected in the market.
How to Secure Smart Homes & Connected Devices
Change Default Credentials
Always change the default usernames and passwords of the IoT after installation. Use strong, unique passwords and implement multi-factor authentication wherever possible.
Update Firmware Periodically
Scan for software and security updates on all smart devices, and install them as soon as they are available. In case your device can no longer get any updates, consider replacing it with a newer version that is at least as secure.
Secure Your Wi-Fi Network
Use a robust Wi-Fi password, and make sure WPA3 encryption is turned on. Limit remote access to your router, and make an IoT-specific network so that those devices can't contaminate your primary network.
Firewall & Security Solutions The use of firewalls and network security solutions monitors traffic and can block malicious activity on IoT networks. 5. Limit Data Sharing & Permissions
Assess permission for smart appliances and reduce or limit the devices from accessing unsecured personal information. De-activate unused add-ons, remote access in devices.
Cyber Security Courses
IoT-based cyber-attacks are minimized if awareness against the threat builds. To boost that awareness further, take time out to become a certified graduate of cyber security by signing for courses in areas like best security practices, principles of ethical hacking, and defending digital systems.
Road Ahead to Improving Indian IoT Security:
The Indian government, device manufacturers, and consumers must take proactive steps to mitigate IoT security risks. Stronger security standards, public awareness, and robust cybersecurity laws are the need of the hour to secure the future of IoT in India.
Conclusion
IoT devices offer incredible convenience but also introduce significant security risks. Protecting smart homes and connected devices requires a combination of best practices, awareness, and robust cybersecurity measures. By staying informed and adopting the right security strategies, individuals can ensure a safer IoT experience.
If you’re passionate about cybersecurity and want to build expertise in protecting digital systems, consider taking a cyber security course to gain hands-on knowledge and skills in ethical hacking, network security, and data protection.

J.4.7 What about the communications revolution?
Another important factor working in favour of anarchists is the existence of a sophisticated global communications network and a high degree of education and literacy among the populations of the core industrialised nations. Together these two developments make possible nearly instantaneous sharing and public dissemination of information by members of various progressive and radical movements all over the globe — a phenomenon that tends to reduce the effectiveness of repression by central authorities. The electronic-media and personal-computer revolutions also make it more difficult for elitist groups to maintain their previous monopolies of knowledge. Copy-left software and text, user-generated and shared content, file-sharing, all show that information, and its users, reaches its full potential when it is free. In short, the advent of the Information Age is potentially extremely subversive.
The very existence of the Internet provides anarchists with a powerful argument that decentralised structures can function effectively in a highly complex world. For the net has no centralised headquarters and is not subject to regulation by any centralised regulatory agency, yet it still manages to function effectively. Moreover, the net is also an effective way of anarchists and other radicals to communicate their ideas to others, share knowledge, work on common projects and co-ordinate activities and social struggle. By using the Internet, radicals can make their ideas accessible to people who otherwise would not come across anarchist ideas. In addition, and far more important than anarchists putting their ideas across, the fact is that the net allows everyone with access to express themselves freely, to communicate with others and get access (by visiting webpages and joining mailing lists and newsgroups) and give access (by creating webpages and joining in with on-line arguments) to new ideas and viewpoints. This is very anarchistic as it allows people to express themselves and start to consider new ideas, ideas which may change how they think and act.
Obviously we are aware that the vast majority of people in the world do not have access to telephones, never mind computers, but computer access is increasing in many countries, making it available, via work, libraries, schools, universities, and so on to more and more working class people.
Of course there is no denying that the implications of improved communications and information technology are ambiguous, implying Big Brother as well the ability of progressive and radical movements to organise. However, the point is only that the information revolution in combination with the other social developments could (but will not necessarily) contribute to a social paradigm shift. Obviously such a shift will not happen automatically. Indeed, it will not happen at all unless there is strong resistance to governmental and corporate attempts to limit public access to information, technology (e.g. encryption programs), censor peoples’ communications and use of electronic media and track them on-line.
This use of the Internet and computers to spread the anarchist message is ironic. The rapid improvement in price-performance ratios of computers, software, and other technology today is often used to validate the faith in free market capitalism but that requires a monumental failure of historical memory as not just the Internet but also the computer represents a spectacular success of public investment. As late as the 1970s and early 1980s, according to Kenneth Flamm’s Creating the Computer, the federal government was paying for 40 percent of all computer-related research and 60 to 75 percent of basic research. Even such modern-seeming gadgets as video terminals, the light pen, the drawing tablet, and the mouse evolved from Pentagon-sponsored research in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Even software was not without state influence, with databases having their root in US Air Force and Atomic Energy Commission projects, artificial intelligence in military contracts back in the 1950s and airline reservation systems in 1950s air-defence systems. More than half of IBM’s Research and Development budget came from government contracts in the 1950s and 1960s.
The motivation was national security, but the result has been the creation of comparative advantage in information technology for the United States that private firms have happily exploited and extended. When the returns were uncertain and difficult to capture, private firms were unwilling to invest, and government played the decisive role. And not for want of trying, for key players in the military first tried to convince businesses and investment bankers that a new and potentially profitable business opportunity was presenting itself, but they did not succeed and it was only when the market expanded and the returns were more definite that the government receded. While the risks and development costs were socialised, the gains were privatised. All of which make claims that the market would have done it anyway highly unlikely.
Looking beyond state aid to the computer industry we discover a “do-it-yourself” (and so self-managed) culture which was essential to its development. The first personal computer, for example, was invented by amateurs who wanted their own cheap machines. The existence of a “gift” economy among these amateurs and hobbyists was a necessary precondition for the development of PCs. Without this free sharing of information and knowledge, the development of computers would have been hindered and so socialistic relations between developers and within the working environment created the necessary conditions for the computer revolution. If this community had been marked by commercial relations, the chances are the necessary breakthroughs and knowledge would have remained monopolised by a few companies or individuals, so hindering the industry as a whole.
Encouragingly, this socialistic “gift economy” is still at the heart of computer/software development and the Internet. For example, the Free Software Foundation has developed the General Public Licence (GPL). GPL, also know as
“copyleft”, uses copyright to ensure that software remains free. Copyleft ensures that a piece of software is made available to everyone to use and modify as they desire. The only restriction is that any used or modified copyleft material must remain under copyleft, ensuring that others have the same rights as you did when you used the original code. It creates a commons which anyone may add to, but no one may subtract from. Placing software under GPL means that every contributor is assured that she, and all other uses, will be able to run, modify and redistribute the code indefinitely. Unlike commercial software, copyleft code ensures an increasing knowledge base from which individuals can draw from and, equally as important, contribute to. In this way everyone benefits as code can be improved by everyone, unlike commercial code.
Many will think that this essentially anarchistic system would be a failure. In fact, code developed in this way is far more reliable and sturdy than commercial software. Linux, for example, is a far superior operating system than DOS precisely because it draws on the collective experience, skill and knowledge of thousands of developers. Apache, the most popular web-server, is another freeware product and is acknowledged as the best available. The same can be said of other key web-technologies (most obviously PHP) and projects (Wikipedia springs to mind, although that project while based on co-operative and free activity is owned by a few people who have ultimate control). While non-anarchists may be surprised, anarchists are not. Mutual aid and co-operation are beneficial in the evolution of life, why not in the evolution of software? For anarchists, this “gift economy” at the heart of the communications revolution is an important development. It shows both the superiority of common development as well as the walls built against innovation and decent products by property systems. We hope that such an economy will spread increasingly into the “real” world.
Another example of co-operation being aided by new technologies is Netwar. This refers to the use of the Internet by autonomous groups and social movements to co-ordinate action to influence and change society and fight government or business policy. This use of the Internet has steadily grown over the years, with a Rand corporation researcher, David Ronfeldt, arguing that this has become an important and powerful force (Rand is, and has been since its creation in 1948, a private appendage of the military industrial complex). In other words, activism and activists’ power and influence has been fuelled by the advent of the information revolution. Through computer and communication networks, especially via the Internet, grassroots campaigns have flourished, and the most importantly, government elites have taken notice.
Ronfeldt specialises in issues of national security, especially in the areas of Latin American and the impact of new informational technologies. Ronfeldt and another colleague coined the term
“netwar” in a Rand document entitled “Cyberwar is Coming!”. Ronfeldt’s work became a source of discussion on the Internet in mid-March 1995 when Pacific News Service correspondent Joel Simon wrote an article about Ronfeldt’s opinions on the influence of netwars on the political situation in Mexico after the Zapatista uprising. According to Simon, Ronfeldt holds that the work of social activists on the Internet has had a large influence — helping to co-ordinate the large demonstrations in Mexico City in support of the Zapatistas and the proliferation of EZLN communiqués across the world via computer networks. These actions, Ronfeldt argues, have allowed a network of groups that oppose the Mexican Government to muster an international response, often within hours of actions by it. In effect, this has forced the Mexican government to maintain the facade of negotiations with the EZLN and has on many occasions, actually stopped the army from just going in to Chiapas and brutally massacring the Zapatistas.
Given that Ronfeldt was an employee of the Rand Corporation his comments indicate that the U.S. government and its military and intelligence wings are very interested in what the Left is doing on the Internet. Given that they would not be interested in this if it were not effective, we can say that this use of the “Information Super-Highway” is a positive example of the use of technology in ways un-planned of by those who initially developed it (let us not forget that the Internet was originally funded by the U.S. government and military). While the internet is being hyped as the next big marketplace, it is being subverted by activists — an example of anarchistic trends within society worrying the powers that be.
A good example of this powerful tool is the incredible speed and range at which information travels the Internet about events concerning Mexico and the Zapatistas. When Alexander Cockburn wrote an article exposing a Chase Manhattan Bank memo about Chiapas and the Zapatistas in Counterpunch, only a small number of people read it because it is only a newsletter with a limited readership. The memo, written by Riordan Roett, argued that “the [Mexican] government will need to eliminate the Zapatistas to demonstrate their effective control of the national territory and of security policy”. In other words, if the Mexican government wants investment from Chase, it would have to crush the Zapatistas. This information was relatively ineffective when just confined to print but when it was uploaded to the Internet, it suddenly reached a very large number of people. These people in turn co-ordinated protests against the U.S and Mexican governments and especially Chase Manhattan. Chase was eventually forced to attempt to distance itself from the Roett memo that it commissioned. Since then net-activism has grown.
Ronfeldt’s research and opinion should be flattering for the Left. He is basically arguing that the efforts of activists on computers not only has been very effective (or at least has that potential), but more importantly, argues that the only way to counter this work is to follow the lead of social activists. Activists should understand the important implications of Ronfeldt’s work: government elites are not only watching these actions (big surprise) but are also attempting to work against them. Thus Netwars and copyleft are good examples of anarchistic trends within society, using communications technology as a means of co-ordinating activity across the world in a libertarian fashion for libertarian goals.

The UK government has demanded that Apple creates a backdoor in its encrypted cloud service, in a confrontation that challenges the US tech firm’s avowed stance on protecting user privacy.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that the Home Office had issued a “technical capability notice” under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which requires companies to assist law enforcement in providing evidence.
The demand, issued last month, relates to Apple’s Advanced Data Protection (ADP) service, which heavily encrypts personal data uploaded and stored remotely in Apple’s cloud servers, according to the Post, which said this was a “blanket” request that applied to any Apple user worldwide. The ADP service uses end-to-end encryption, a form of security that means only the account holder can decrypt the files and no one else can – including Apple.
Apple declined to comment. However, in a submission to parliament last year it flagged its concerns about the IPA, saying it provided the government with “authority to issue secret orders requiring providers to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their software products”.
Apple touts privacy as one of its “core values” and describes it as a “fundamental human right”.
The Apple document refers to the ADP feature, claiming that “reporters and technical experts across the globe” welcomed it as an “invaluable protection” for private data.
The submission also indicates that Apple would refuse to cooperate with a request, saying the company would “never build a backdoor” and would rather withdraw “critical safety features” from the UK market.
However, the submission also points out that the IPA allows the UK government to impose requirements on companies based in other countries that apply to users globally.
Alan Woodward, a professor of cybersecurity at Surrey University, said the UK government had “lit the blue touch paper on a truly enormous fight in the never-ending saga of the encryption debate”.
He added: “I don’t see how this is to be resolved, as Apple has made such a big point of privacy for users. If they accede to this technical notice their reputation will be in tatters. They’re bound to challenge it.”
End-to-end encryption has become a battleground between successive UK governments and tech companies, with ministers arguing that the technology prevents law enforcement agencies from tackling criminals, including child abusers.
Companies are also barred from revealing whether they have received a technology capability notice under the IPA. The Washington Post reported that by the time Apple made its submission in March last year the US-based company had been informed that a notice might be served on it. The newspaper said the Biden administration had been tracking the matter since the UK government told Apple it might demand access, and Apple had said it would refuse.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “We do not comment on operational matters, including, for example, confirming or denying the existence of any such notices.”
The submission related to amendments to the IPA passed last year under Rishi Sunak’s government and included giving ministers power to clear in advance any product changes that could alter the UK government’s ability to access users’ data.
One expert warned that the multinational nature of the order could lead to a clash with the EU, which has an agreement with the UK allowing the free flow of personal data between the EU and UK – such as a company in Europe using a datacentre in the UK. The agreement comes up for review this year.
“This may provide a backdoor for access to European citizen data which could go against our ability to retain the rights to share personal data without restriction between the UK and Europe,” said Ross McKenzie, a data protection partner at the UK law firm Addleshaw Goddard.

The Best Screen Recorders with Audio for Your PC
Recording your screen along with audio can be a game-changer for creating tutorials, recording gameplay, or conducting online classes. Having the right screen recorder that captures both video and audio seamlessly is essential for producing high-quality content. Let’s explore some of the best options available, highlighting ScreenRec for its efficiency and ease of use, along with other noteworthy tools.
What Makes a Great Screen Recorder with Audio?
When selecting a screen recorder with audio capabilities, consider the following:
Ease of Use: The tool should be intuitive and user-friendly.
Video and Audio Quality: High-definition video and clear audio without lag or desynchronization.
Editing Features: Tools for basic to advanced editing of your recordings.
Sharing Options: Easy and secure sharing capabilities.
Cost: Evaluate the balance between features offered and affordability.
Top Screen Recorders with Audio for PC
ScreenRec: ScreenRec stands out for its simplicity and powerful features. It allows you to capture high-quality video and audio effortlessly. One of its best features is instant sharing through a secure cloud link, which is perfect for quick communication and collaboration. ScreenRec is free, with unlimited recording time once you create a free account, making it a budget-friendly choice. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even non-tech-savvy users can start recording with ease. Additionally, ScreenRec encrypts all recordings, ensuring that your data remains secure.
OBS Studio: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio is a free and open-source screen recording tool known for its extensive features and customizability. It's particularly popular among gamers and live streamers for its ability to handle multiple sources and live stream directly to platforms like Twitch and YouTube. OBS Studio supports high-quality video and audio recording but comes with a steeper learning curve due to its vast array of features.
Camtasia: Camtasia is a premium screen recording tool that offers a comprehensive suite of editing features, such as annotations, transitions, and effects. It's perfect for creating polished, professional videos. Camtasia supports both screen and audio recording, making it a great choice for producing detailed tutorials and marketing videos. Despite its higher price tag, its advanced capabilities make it a worthwhile investment for those who need detailed editing options.
Bandicam: Bandicam is favored for its ability to record high-quality video, particularly for gameplay. It supports high FPS recording and includes features like real-time drawing and webcam overlay. Bandicam also supports audio recording, capturing both system sound and microphone input. It’s ideal for users who prioritize video quality and detailed recording options.
ShareX: ShareX is a free, open-source screen recorder that offers various capture methods, including full screen, window, and region. It also provides a range of editing and sharing tools. ShareX supports audio recording, though setting it up might require some additional steps compared to more user-friendly tools like ScreenRec. ShareX is suitable for users who appreciate customization and don’t mind a bit of a learning curve.
Why ScreenRec Stands Out
ScreenRec excels in providing a seamless recording experience with minimal setup. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even those who aren't tech-savvy can start recording with ease. The instant sharing feature, combined with secure cloud storage, ensures that your recordings are always accessible and easy to distribute. For users needing a reliable, no-cost solution that doesn’t compromise on features, ScreenRec is an excellent choice.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right screen recorder with audio capabilities depends on your specific needs. If you’re looking for a simple, effective, and free tool, ScreenRec is highly recommended. For more advanced features and professional editing, Camtasia and Bandicam are excellent options. OBS Studio and ShareX provide powerful features for free, though they come with a learning curve. Regardless of your choice, having a reliable screen recorder will enhance your productivity and communication.

Cyber Security Threat For Local Businesses
In this article learn the cyber security risks for Australian small businesses and how to protect your business future.
Australian local businesses face an ever-growing threat from cybercriminals. While many small business owners believe they're too insignificant to attract hackers, the reality is quite different. Cybercriminals often target smaller enterprises precisely because they tend to have weaker security measures in place. This blog post will explore the cyber dangers that small businesses in Australia may face and offer some practical advice on how to protect your livelihood.
The Growing Menace of Cyber Attacks
Why Small Businesses Are Targets
You might think your local shop or service isn't worth a hacker's time, but you'd be wrong. Cybercriminals often view small businesses as low-hanging fruit. Here's why:
1. Limited resources for cybersecurity
2. Less sophisticated defence systems
3. Valuable customer data
4. Potential gateway to larger partner companies
Common Cyber Threats to Watch Out For
Ransomware Blackcat Ransomware Gang.
Ransomware attacks have skyrocketed in recent years. These nasty pieces of software encrypt your data and demand payment for its release. For a small business, this can be devastating. Imagine losing access to your customer database or financial records overnight!
Phishing Scams
Phishing remains one of the most common ways cybercriminals gain access to your systems. They send seemingly legitimate emails that trick you or your staff into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware.
Data Breaches
Small businesses often store valuable customer data, making them prime targets for data breaches. A breach can result in hefty fines under Australian privacy laws and irreparable damage to your reputation.
Protecting Your Business from Cyber Threats
Essential Security Measures
1. **Use strong, unique passwords**: Implement a password policy that requires complex passwords and regular changes.
2. **Keep software updated**: Regularly update your operating systems, applications, and security software to patch vulnerabilities.
3. **Educate your staff**: Your employees are your first line of defence. Train them to recognise and report suspicious emails or activities.
Invest in Cybersecurity
While it might seem costly, investing in cybersecurity is far cheaper than dealing with the aftermath of an attack. Consider these steps:
1. **Install and maintain firewalls**: These act as a barrier between your internal network and external threats.
2. **Use encryption**: Encrypt sensitive data, especially if you store customer information.
3. **Implement multi-factor authentication**: This adds an extra layer of security beyond just passwords.
Create a Cybersecurity Plan
Don't wait for an attack to happen before you start thinking about cybersecurity. Develop a plan that includes:
1. Regular risk assessments
2. Incident response procedures
3. Data backup and recovery strategies
The Cost of Ignoring Cybersecurity
Failing to address cybersecurity can have dire consequences for your business:
1. Financial losses from theft or ransom payments
2. Damage to your reputation and loss of customer trust
3. Legal consequences for failing to protect customer data
4. Potential business closure due to inability to recover from an attack
Don't become another statistic in the growing list of small businesses crippled by cyber attacks. Take action today to protect your business, your customers, and your future.
Remember, in the digital age, cybersecurity isn't just an IT issue—it's a critical business concern that demands your attention and investment.

Going Over the Cloud: An Investigation into the Architecture of Cloud Solutions

Because the cloud offers unprecedented levels of size, flexibility, and accessibility, it has fundamentally altered the way we approach technology in the present digital era. As more and more businesses shift their infrastructure to the cloud, it is imperative that they understand the architecture of cloud solutions. Join me as we examine the core concepts, industry best practices, and transformative impacts on modern enterprises.
The Basics of Cloud Solution Architecture A well-designed architecture that balances dependability, performance, and cost-effectiveness is the foundation of any successful cloud deployment. Cloud solutions' architecture is made up of many different components, including networking, computing, storage, security, and scalability. By creating solutions that are tailored to the requirements of each workload, organizations can optimize return on investment and fully utilize the cloud.
Flexibility and Resilience in Design The flexibility of cloud computing to grow resources on-demand to meet varying workloads and guarantee flawless performance is one of its distinguishing characteristics. Cloud solution architecture create resilient systems that can endure failures and sustain uptime by utilizing fault-tolerant design principles, load balancing, and auto-scaling. Workloads can be distributed over several availability zones and regions to help enterprises increase fault tolerance and lessen the effect of outages.
Protection of Data in the Cloud and Security by Design
As data thefts become more common, security becomes a top priority in cloud solution architecture. Architects include identity management, access controls, encryption, and monitoring into their designs using a multi-layered security strategy. By adhering to industry standards and best practices, such as the shared responsibility model and compliance frameworks, organizations may safeguard confidential information and guarantee regulatory compliance in the cloud.
Using Professional Services to Increase Productivity Cloud service providers offer a variety of managed services that streamline operations and reduce the stress of maintaining infrastructure. These services allow firms to focus on innovation instead of infrastructure maintenance. They include server less computing, machine learning, databases, and analytics. With cloud-native applications, architects may reduce costs, increase time-to-market, and optimize performance by selecting the right mix of managed services.
Cost control and ongoing optimization Cost optimization is essential since inefficient resource use can quickly drive up costs. Architects monitor resource utilization, analyze cost trends, and identify opportunities for optimization with the aid of tools and techniques. Businesses can cut waste and maximize their cloud computing expenses by using spot instances, reserved instances, and cost allocation tags.
Acknowledging Automation and DevOps Important elements of cloud solution design include automation and DevOps concepts, which enable companies to develop software more rapidly, reliably, and efficiently. Architects create pipelines for continuous integration, delivery, and deployment, which expedites the software development process and allows for rapid iterations. By provisioning and managing infrastructure programmatically with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration Management systems, teams may minimize human labor and guarantee consistency across environments.
Multiple-cloud and hybrid strategies In an increasingly interconnected world, many firms employ hybrid and multi-cloud strategies to leverage the benefits of many cloud providers in addition to on-premises infrastructure. Cloud solution architects have to design systems that seamlessly integrate several environments while ensuring interoperability, data consistency, and regulatory compliance. By implementing hybrid connection options like VPNs, Direct Connect, or Express Route, organizations may develop hybrid cloud deployments that include the best aspects of both public and on-premises data centers. Analytics and Data Management Modern organizations depend on data because it fosters innovation and informed decision-making. Thanks to the advanced data management and analytics solutions developed by cloud solution architects, organizations can effortlessly gather, store, process, and analyze large volumes of data. By leveraging cloud-native data services like data warehouses, data lakes, and real-time analytics platforms, organizations may gain a competitive advantage in their respective industries and extract valuable insights. Architects implement data governance frameworks and privacy-enhancing technologies to ensure adherence to data protection rules and safeguard sensitive information.
Computing Without a Server Server less computing, a significant shift in cloud architecture, frees organizations to focus on creating applications rather than maintaining infrastructure or managing servers. Cloud solution architects develop server less programs using event-driven architectures and Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions. By abstracting away the underlying infrastructure, server less architectures offer unparalleled scalability, cost-efficiency, and agility, empowering companies to innovate swiftly and change course without incurring additional costs.
Conclusion As we come to the close of our investigation into cloud solution architecture, it is evident that the cloud is more than just a platform for technology; it is a force for innovation and transformation. By embracing the ideas of scalability, resilience, and security, and efficiency, organizations can take advantage of new opportunities, drive business expansion, and preserve their competitive edge in today's rapidly evolving digital market. Thus, to ensure success, remember to leverage cloud solution architecture when developing a new cloud-native application or initiating a cloud migration.

Navigating the Hidden Corners of the Internet
The Dark Web has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue, often associated with illicit activities and clandestine operations. However, it's important to understand that not all aspects of the Dark Web are illegal or harmful. In this article, we will explore the concept of Dark Web links, shedding light on what they are, how they work, and how to navigate them responsibly.
For more information- Dark Web Links
Dark Web links are the gateways to websites, forums, and services hosted on the Dark Web. These links are not indexed by traditional search engines like Google, making them difficult to find through conventional means. Instead, users typically access Dark Web links through specialized software, most notably Tor (The Onion Router), which ensures anonymity and privacy.
1. Onion URLs: Dark Web links often use a onion domain, indicating that they are hosted on the Tor network. These URLs are designed to be complex and nonsensical, making them difficult to guess or remember. For example, a typical Dark Web link might look like example website onion.
2. Accessing the Dark Web: To access Dark Web links, users need to download and install the Tor browser, which routes internet traffic through a series of volunteer-operated servers to maintain anonymity. Once connected to the Tor network, users can enter onion URLs into the browser to access Dark Web sites.
Responsible Navigation of Dark Web Links
While the Dark Web offers some legitimate and ethical content, it is essential to approach it with caution and responsibility. Here are some guidelines for navigating Dark Web links:
1. Legal and Ethical Use: Ensure that your activities on the Dark Web are legal and ethical. Engaging in illegal activities or seeking out harmful content is not only unethical but can also lead to serious legal consequences.
2. Privacy and Security: Be aware that your online activities on the Dark Web are not entirely immune to surveillance or security breaches. While Tor provides a degree of anonymity, it is not foolproof. Take steps to protect your privacy and use encryption tools where necessary.
3. Browsing Safely: Stick to reputable websites and forums on the Dark Web that align with your interests and goals. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading files from untrustworthy sources. Be cautious of phishing attempts and scams.
4. Verify Information: When using the Dark Web for research or information gathering, verify the accuracy of the information you find. Due to the anonymous nature of the Dark Web, misinformation can proliferate.
5. Avoid Illegal Markets: Steer clear of illegal marketplaces and services that offer drugs, stolen data, weapons, or other illicit goods. Engaging with such platforms can have severe legal consequences.
6. Maintain Anonymity: Remember that while Tor provides a degree of anonymity, it's not infallible. Avoid sharing personal information or engaging in behavior that could compromise your identity.
7. Report Illegal Activity: If you come across illegal activities or content on the Dark Web, consider reporting it to the appropriate authorities or organizations dedicated to monitoring and combating illegal online activities.
Conclusion
Dark Web links offer access to a hidden world of websites and services that are not indexed by traditional search engines. While the Dark Web is often associated with illegal activities, it's essential to recognize that it can also be used for legitimate and ethical purposes, such as protecting privacy, fostering free speech, and conducting research.
However, responsible navigation of Dark Web links is paramount. Engaging in illegal activities, downloading malicious content, or seeking out harmful materials not only jeopardizes your own safety but also contributes to the negative reputation of the Dark Web. As with any part of the internet, the key lies in responsible use. Approach Dark Web links with caution, adhere to ethical standards, and prioritize your own online security and privacy. By doing so, you can explore the hidden corners of the internet without falling into the traps of illegal activities or dangerous scams, contributing to a safer and more responsible online environment
