Is there a better free way to encrypt information online using AI?

Encrypting messages is a way to ensure that only authorized individuals can read the contents of a message. There are various methods of encryption, ranging from simple techniques to highly secure, advanced systems. Below are several methods to encrypt messages, from basic to advanced encryption techniques:

**1. Caesar Cipher (Substitution Cipher) Description: One of the oldest encryption methods, where each letter in the plaintext is shifted by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet. Example: Shift by 3. Plaintext: HELLO Encrypted: KHOOR (H → K, E → H, L → O, etc.) Weakness: Easy to break with modern computing due to the limited number of possible shifts. Tips: Use a Caesar decoder online!!!! **

Vigenère Cipher Description: A method of encrypting alphabetic text using a series of different Caesar ciphers based on a keyword. The keyword determines the shifting of each letter. Example: Keyword: KEY Plaintext: HELLO Encrypted: Use the keyword "KEY" to shift the corresponding letters in "HELLO" (H → K, E → I, etc.). Weakness: Vulnerable to frequency analysis, but harder to break than the Caesar cipher.

Transposition Cipher Description: Instead of altering the letters themselves, this method rearranges the positions of the characters in the plaintext. Example: Plaintext: HELLO WORLD Rearranged (e.g., with a 2x6 grid): HLO OWR EL LD Encrypted: HLOOWREL LD Weakness: The pattern of rearrangement can sometimes be detected and broken.

One-Time Pad Description: A theoretically unbreakable encryption method that uses a random key (the "pad") that is as long as the message. The key is only used once and then discarded. How it works: The message is XORed with the key, bit by bit. The key must be truly random, at least as long as the message, and never reused. Strength: Perfect secrecy, but the challenge lies in securely sharing the key. Example: Plaintext: HELLO Key: XMCKL (random key) Encrypted: Use XOR encryption to get the ciphertext. Weakness: Key distribution is difficult, and the key must be kept completely secret.

Public Key Cryptography (Asymmetric Encryption) Description: Uses two keys: a public key (which is shared openly) and a private key (which is kept secret). A message encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key. Example: RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a well-known algorithm for asymmetric encryption. Public Key: Used to encrypt the message. Private Key: Used to decrypt the message. Strength: Offers secure communication over insecure channels, widely used in digital signatures, email encryption, etc. Weakness: Computationally intensive and requires the use of large prime numbers.

Symmetric Key Cryptography Description: Both the sender and the receiver share the same key to both encrypt and decrypt the message. The key must remain secret. Example: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the most commonly used symmetric encryption algorithm. Plaintext: HELLO Key: A secret shared key. Encrypted: The message is transformed using AES encryption. Strength: Fast and secure when the key is kept secret. Weakness: Key distribution is a challenge—if the key is intercepted, the encryption is compromised.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Description: A form of public-key cryptography based on elliptic curves over finite fields. ECC offers the same level of security as RSA but with much shorter key sizes. Strength: Very efficient for mobile devices and low-resources environments, while still offering strong security. Example: Used in systems like SSL/TLS for securing websites. Weakness: Relatively newer and less widely adopted than RSA.

Steganography (Hidden Messages) Description: Rather than encrypting the message, steganography hides the message within another file (such as an image or audio file), making it invisible to the casual observer. Example: You could hide a secret message in the least significant bits of an image file. The image looks normal to the eye, but the message can be extracted using a steganographic tool. Strength: The message is not visible, making it harder to detect. Weakness: If someone knows to look for hidden data, it can still be extracted.

Secure Hash Algorithms (Hashing) Description: While not technically encryption, hashes are used to ensure the integrity of data. A hash function takes input data and generates a fixed-size string (hash) that uniquely represents the data. A hash cannot be decrypted back into the original message, but it can be used to verify that the data hasn't been altered. Examples: SHA-256 (used in Bitcoin) or MD5 (less secure). Strength: Integrity checking, and hash functions are fast to compute. Weakness: Hashes are not reversible (can't decrypt).

Hybrid Systems Description: Many systems combine both asymmetric and symmetric encryption for greater efficiency and security. For example, a public key can be used to exchange a symmetric key, and then the symmetric key is used to encrypt the actual message. Example: TLS (Transport Layer Security), used for secure browsing, uses asymmetric encryption to exchange a symmetric session key, which is then used for fast data encryption. Strength: Combines the best of both encryption worlds—strong security with efficiency. Weakness: More complex and may introduce potential vulnerabilities in key exchange processes.

Common Tools & Algorithms for Encryption GPG (GNU Privacy Guard): Uses asymmetric encryption for secure communication. OpenSSL: A toolkit that implements SSL and TLS protocols; can also be used for file encryption. TrueCrypt (now VeraCrypt): A tool for creating encrypted volumes to store sensitive data. BitLocker (Windows) / FileVault (macOS): Full-disk encryption solutions. Beautify Decoder:Beautify Converter is a free online code beautifier that includes tools for a variety of programming languages and file formats, such as CSV and PDF1. It allows you to add code and tidy it up, or even hide messages inside a photo or decode the message hidden inside an image.

Best Practices for Encrypting Messages Use Strong, Random Keys: For both symmetric and asymmetric encryption, key strength is critical. Use a long, random key to maximize security. Avoid Reusing Keys: Especially with the One-Time Pad and symmetric encryption methods. Secure the Key Exchange: For asymmetric encryption, ensure public keys are properly verified. For symmetric encryption, use a secure method (e.g., Diffie-Hellman or a secure channel). Encrypt the Whole Message: Ensure the message is fully encrypted, including any headers or metadata, if applicable.

**Do not look for metadata inside FB pics: In case you hid a message inside a picture, avoid to upload it on a platform that erases all the metadata inside, like Facebook. Try uploading the raw picture on a different platform, in such a way that the recipient will analyze and decode the proper image. **

The best encryption method depends on your needs—whether you're encrypting for privacy, ensuring data integrity, or securely transmitting messages across a network. For everyday use, a combination of public key encryption (e.g., RSA or ECC) and symmetric encryption (e.g., AES) offers a good balance of security and performance.

I ve tried beautifydecoder.com, dcode.fr, etherscan.io...

HTB - Cascade

So it’s been a while. Had a few real life events occur which distracted me from things and also made a silly nooby mistake that cost me some time but here we are. :)

Cascade was honestly a great machine in my opinion- I feel I’m now nearly there with knowing the basics of AD enum and it really brought home the damage that focusing on one objective can do.

Took me a stupidly long time to find the password of r.thompson as I was mistakenly focusing on finding the credentials of s.smith (I noticed he was a remote management user and thus likely to be a target.) But after that point things were pretty obvious (except decrypting arksvc’s password- spent sometime screwing aorund with ROT13 and all sorts. xD)

Another domain controller and no web server... *cracks fingers in preparation for noob feels* Obviously our foothold is going to arise from SMB, AD and potentially Kerberos enumeration.

My enum tool performed a scan using enum4linux which returned nothing but possible users:

There’s a large variety of possibilities here... The correct next step is to narrow that list down. Personally, I did this via the execution of getadusers: this reveals the last time the user logged on and thus gives us the knowledge of which user accounts are the most presently active:

There are 4 highly likely users here: arksvc, s.smith, r.thompson and util. Previous execution of nmap’s ldap-search script led me to believe the target would be s.smith as this revealed him to be a remote management user; getnpusers revealed that no one had doesn’t require preauth set while kerbrute proved fruitless.

After several frustrated hours, I was looking through the results of ldap-search again which revealed some crucial information I had missed due to being too focused on s.smith: r.thompson had a property named cascadeLegacyPwd with a base64 encoded value. -.-

A simple base64 decode later and I had a foothold... Finally; from here things seemed to be a bit easier!

With r.thompson’s credentials, I had access to the Data SMB share and the I.T files within (revealed with a simple smbclient -L and also via the results in ldap-search)

Some basic enum revealed an email sent by s.smith that would be relevant later and a VNC install reg file within \\10.10.10.182\Data\IT\Temp\s.smith\. This file held the hashed value of s.smith’s password.

A tool named vncpwd cracked this for me easily enough (or decrypted, simply saying hashed as passwords are commonly hashed rather than encrypted,) giving us access to Audit$ and winrm.

Audit held some interesting files- four DLLs related to SQLite, a DLL named CascCrypto, an exe named CascAudit and a db file. It’s likely these files were going to hold some critical information; to avoid being too single minded again, I first enumerated the system through winrm to ensure I wasn’t jumping down a rabbit hole (I wasn’t.)

Confident that the files within Audit$ were the way forward, I proceeded to uploaded the relevant DLLs and exe to Cascade and examined the contents of the db file- this held a base64 encoded password for arksvc and some information on deleted users; decoding the string proved fruitless this time, suggesting there was further encryption or hashing in place.

Running the exe with the relevant db file argument resulted in the addition of two rows to the DeletedUserAudit table within the db. Curious, I spent sometime attempting to view this information via LDAP queries as Steve but he seemed to lack the necessary privileges for this (nothing was returned despite there obviously being deleted users.)

Get-ADObject -filter 'isDeleted -eq $true' -includeDeletedObjects -Properties *

Fair enough; I recall seeing a file named ArkSvc within the Data share that referred to an AD recycle bin... Best to try this out again once we have ark’s credentials! We also now have the users flag which is always nice. :)

I tried using the strings command on CascAudit but this didn’t produce anything directly usable so I first decided to explore if there’s anything easily detectable going on with the string. As encryption and hashing aren’t really my areas, I wasted several hours seeing if I could produce any relevant text from the base64 string- ROT13, hashcat against MD4, MD5 and others, it goes on...

After a while I grew suspicious that the answer was in the exe and DLL- CascCrypto... The string was obviously encrypted and the details on the in-use algorithm were probably within those files.

I first used radare2 on CascAudit.exe to see if there was anything juicy that strings missed. This revealed the key c4scadek3y654321, the IV 1tdyjCbY1Ix49842 and the in-use algorithm AES but with the key being the only obvious string I didn’t immediately think to try the IV. Time to get my reverse engineer shit together...

Setting up dnSpy was a nightmare for me for reasons I can’t fathom- my host OS is Ubuntu but dnSpy is able to be run by WINE; not for me! I had dotnet40 installed via winetricks and everything too!

*sigh* Hello Windows, my old enemy... I downloaded an ISO image of Windows 7 x64 and successfully set up dnSpy here.

5 minutes later I had all the information I needed from the C# representation of the assembly code of the exe... Now time to decrypt, revealing the password of w3lc0meFr31nd.

Login... Now I’m ark; from my enum as Steve I was aware the path to root lay within ark’s AD Recycle Bin privileges and sure enough, the LDAP query that previously returned nothing returned another cascadeLegacyPwd; this time for TempAdmin.

From the email found within Data, I had an awareness that this password was also the password of administrator... A serving of baCT3r1aN00dles later and we have root.

So, Cascade was a really enjoyable machine to me- I’ve got my head around AD enumeration a bit more and I’ve learned an important lesson about not focusing on one goal: sometimes the route in isn’t what you think. :)

Utopia - A Privacy Focused Decentralized P2P Ecosystem & Blockchain

Are you one of those individuals who believe they don’t need online privacy because there is nothing to hide? That is an argument but protecting your data will help limit the power of advertisers and companies who influence you every day. “Why should I care? What services guarantee web-privacy and how?” That’s what I will uncover in this review.

Utopia is a decentralized peer-to-peer network, With Utopia you can send instant text and voice messages, transfer files, create group chats and channels, send emails and conduct a private discussion. Currently Utopia is an application for Windows, iOS and Linux which offers all the features within one application. Utopia users get on their ‘Utopia ecosystem‘ as the application also provides a built-in Idyll browser to view websites within Utopia peer-to-peer network . Utopia comes with a Cryptocurrency which is called ‘Crypton‘ and is Proof-of-Stake. uWallet allows you to store,transfer your Crypton(CRP) or even create vouchers and credit cards, Utopia Network includes Utopia Name System (UNS) which is a decentralized registry of names that are impossible to expropriate, freeze or corrupt by 3rd-party as no one has control over the system rather its self-governed by rules set in place which are applicable to everyone. After you join Utopia you may wanna drop by our Hackology channel, which you can search in the Channel Manager

I came across Utopia ecosystem two months ago; it has been available for the last five years though. What do I like the most about this product?

Self-enclosed Ecosystem: This means that third-parties never use the data you use for communication, how I express my thoughts.

Enhanced encryption: Developers employed sophisticated mechanisms to guarantee web-privacy. Even if you are not a tech geek, you can Google what elliptic curves and unique p2p architecture are. These tools are proven solutions against interception and data leakage.

All-in-one: Utopia is not only a messenger but users can mine cryptocurrency, send emails, design websites, and use maps within one ecosystem. For now, I tested a messenger and created a blog with Utopia after signing as a beta-tester.

Decentralized: Thanks to blockchain technology, anyone can enjoy security online. Decentralization means that my email, text messages, and files are not stored on one server and third-party companies are never involved in the data transmission process.

Anonymous: It was a sigh of relief when I noted that I didn’t need to mention phone number, personal data when registering on Utopia. Each User has a key which never changes and enables p2p communication as the only recipient can decrypt and see the message.

Humane: Utopia is the only Ecosystem of this kind that applies technology to protect online privacy and complete freedom of speech with no censorship. One can feel free for self-expression without being tracked while IP, location, and files are never stored or shared with anyone.

All these checkpoints in combine make Utopia one of the most interesting tools for online privacy

UTOPIA PRODUCT AND ITS FEATURES

Let’s Explore Utopia and all the features in detail. Please note as this is a beta application many of the features might change in future or some even get removed.

Utopia Encryption

Each user participates in transmission of network data but only the recipient can decrypt the data. Advanced encryption ensures interception-proof communication channel to all Utopia users. All communication is secure and protected by Curve25519 high-speed elliptic curve cryptographywhile local storage is encrypted by 256-bit AES. Big Brother is no longer watching you!

Installing Utopia

Once you register on the Beta Portal you have to download Utopia Application. After installing the application you will be given a Hardware ID and a Private Key, these keys are required to activate your beta license which can be done from the Activation Page. Please keep in mind that your beta portal website login credentials are not linked with Utopia Application and you can have a different username for the app and the website. Once you activate the license your utopia account will be tied with your beta portal account. A step by step procedure for easy understanding of the activation procedure:

Download Utopia software

Install the program by following simple instructions on installation wizard

Run Utopia and create your account. You will be provided with Public Key and Hardware ID. Those are needed to activate your Utopia software

Click on JOIN BETA

Agree to the Rules and click SUBMIT

Click on NEW ACTIVATION and Enter Public Key and Hardware ID

Click ADD

Now your Utopia is activated and you are ready to test it

Utopia Dashboard

Utopia is a feature-rich platform that is specifically designed to protect privacy of communication, confidentiality and security of personal data. It was created for privacy-conscious public who believe that privacy is paramount. Utopia is a decentralized network, with no central server involved in data transmission or storage. The network is supported by people who use its many high quality features.

The first glimpse we get of the application is at the Dashboard which has navigational menu for easy access to all of its many features for us to explore, use and report bugs while it is in beta testing phase.

uMail (Utopia Mail)

uMail is a secure alternative to classic e-mail. uMail can be sent to Utopia users that are in your contact list for now. uMail has all functionality of email localized to Utopia ecosystem. No servers are used for mail transmission or storage. uMail account, that is created by default when you join the Utopia network, enables unlimited messaging and attachment storage. Utopia ecosystem encryption guarantees the security of mail transmission and storage. Your uMail, as an internal part of Utopia, cannot be blocked or seized.

All those who value their data privacy would find this useful including activists and journalists knowing that their data is going straight to the designated user and no 3rd party can intercept their data. Currently the limit set for the attachments is 100 MB but as per the team it may be increased in future.

uWallet (Utopia Wallet)

All financial functionality can be found in Utopia built-in uWallet. uWallet allows you to make and accept payments denominated in Utopia cryptocurrency ‘Crypton‘, accept payments at your website, pay by Crypto Cards without revealing your Identity or bill fellow Utopia users for your services. With uWallet you can store value in Cryptons, receive mining rewards, use uVouchers, request payments and accept payments using the built-in API.

All of this while you remain anonymous. All payments are instant and cannot be reversed. Decentralized nature of Utopia ensures that your balance cannot be expropriated.

Utopia Mining — Crypton

Utopia has an inbuilt cryptocurrency called Crypton (CRP), which is proof-of-stake therefore a modest machine can also be used to mine cryptons through the GUI based Utopia application or with terminal based Mining bot which comes with the application.

Utopia rewards users that support the ecosystem through Mining by emission of new Cryptons. When you run your Utopia software or bot you will receive your share of collective reward. Mining does not slow your computer down and is environmentally friendly. You may also run a number of bots at several servers or computers to multiply the Crypton mining speed.

uNS (Utopia Naming System)

Utopia has introduced uNS (Utopia Naming System) which is a unique naming system and independent from the conventional Domain Naming System. DNS is subject to pressure and censorship from less than prefect international laws. Domains can be revoked or suspended due to multiple reasons, such as non-response to WhoIS inquiry or other register policies, non-payment, government actions and so on.

uNS, in contrast, is a truly decentralized non-censored registry hosted by Utopia Network participants with no expiration dates, renewal fees, suspensions and revocations. There is only one rule: First come, First served.

uNS registered name should be unique. You may register as many uNS registered names as you want while registration is not free and costs are paid in crypton:

Single letter uNS costs 1000 CRP

Two letter uNS costs 500 CRP

Three letter uNS costs 5 CRP

Four letter or more costs 0.1 CRP

Miscellaneous Features

Making Groups, Adding users, Chatting and Emailing, Sending Mails and Mining Cryptons might be the highlights but Utopia claims to be an ecosystem therefore they had to incorporate many more features so that users of Utopia ecosystem do not feel the need to go out of the system. List of other useful features within the Utopia Application are listed

Packet Forwarding : uNS Manager lists option of ‘Packet Forwarding’ which is an internal system allowing any utopian user to host a website which can be accessed by the Idyll browser, the naming system of the website is explained above, if you register hackology uNS you can make a website and it will open when you visit http://hackology/ and that is it. This option allows to tunnel any kind of data between users in ecosystem, making possible to host different types of resources including websites inside Utopia Network. At the time of writing few fellow Utopia users made Utopia sites which can be accessed at http://trade/ and at http://crystalforest

File Manager : All files which are sent or received in Utopia can be accessed from the builtin file manager which also includes an image viewer. As of now the file transfers are limited to 100MB.

Voice Notes : Utopia also supports sending and receiving of Voice messages which you can send to those who are added with you.

Dark Theme : The program comes in standard theme but how can they miss out a Dark Theme for the privacy savvy ? Users can opt for dark theme by going to Tools > Settings > Interface and selecting the ‘Dark Space‘ theme

Utopia API : Utopia comes with a comprehensive API for users to incorporate in their own projects. For instance, using API you can accept payments denominated in Crypton at your website, automatically manage your channels, send instant messages and much more. To get started once you enable the API you can also access the API documentation.

Network Fee Structure : Utopia provides us with an option to view all the network enforced fee and they are updated live on the network as the fee structure changes, thus one can stay updated with the current fee structure. You can access the Network Fee from uWallet > Treasury Data > Network Fee

Game : Utopia also supports in-app games which can be played in multiplayer, as of writing there is a working Chess game.

Utopia Reward System

Utopia is providing a very lucrative reward system, where Beta Testers, Contributors & Promoters all can join the beta portal and help test and find bugs which in return gets you ‘pts‘ where 1 pt equals to 1 USD which are paid in BTC.

We truly believe that your participation has to be exciting and mutually beneficial. Utopia Beta Program rewards your enthusiasm, commitment and dedication. No matter what is your skill set you will find an opportunity to contribute to Utopia P2P Project development

At the time of writing I have already cashed out $560 and transferred them to my own bitcoin wallet. I can vouch that if you have the eye to spot bugs it is a good place to help them and in return get paid. Uptil now Utopia team has paid out $3583 to beta testers which is a decent figure keeping in view that they launched 7 days back and still 3 months of beta testing period is left.

If you are not a bug finding sort you can still help and give them suggestions and ideas on how to improve their application or go ahead and share this on social media pages and get paid for being a ‘promoter’. Withdrawals are done manually and as per the rule it can take up-to 48 hours, but I have noticed that within an hour or so they release the funds.

Do Earn but DONT SPAM they have mentioned categorically that have zero spam tolerance

FOXMAIL PHISHING HOW TO

FOXMAIL PHISHING DOWNLOAD

FOXMAIL PHISHING WINDOWS

This is the most straightforward approach to end its movement on your operating system.

FOXMAIL PHISHING DOWNLOAD

Here are some other distribution techniques which cybercriminals opt to inject malicious content in the targeted system:

FOXMAIL PHISHING WINDOWS

Such entries are logged so that the ransomware can start automatically every time the Windows boots up. To achieve persistence Ransomware might make entries in the Windows Registry, and could repress or launch processes in a Windows environment. By any chance if the file happens to be on a system and if the user clicks on it to see what kind of record it is, the system gets infected by the ransomware. A payload dropper that kick-starts the malicious script of this ransomware has been distributed around the World Wide Web, and experts have acquired a malware sample. Ransomware distributes itself using multiple mechanisms.

Can hp pcoip zero client use wireless connection software#

Although, you can change the encryption key cipher to AES-256 in PCoIP. Security with AES: Both PCoIP and RDP support Advanced Encryption Standard 128-bit by default, adding an extra layer of security in connections.High Security and Encryption Level in Connections: using a corporate DMZ, the users can make secure and encrypted connections to Access Points or servers via either PCoIP or RDP.Using PCoIP and RDP as a VPN: both PCoIP and RDP protocols can be used in place of a company’s Virtual Private Network, when a corporate firewall is not available or is deactivated.The default is to use lossless compression which is used when there is minimal network congestion or when explicitly configured, as might be required for scenarios where image fidelity is more important than conserving bandwidth, e.g. In low-bandwidth environments it uses lossy compression where a highly compressed image is quickly delivered, followed by additional data to refine that image, a process termed "build to perceptually lossless". The protocol also dynamically adapts its encoding based on the available bandwidth. Depending on the image, different codecs are used to encode the pixels sent since techniques to compress video images differ in effectiveness compared to those for text. Images rendered on the server are captured as pixels, compressed and encoded and then sent to the client for decryption and decompression. PCoIP is a UDP-based protocol that is host rendered, multi-codec and dynamically adaptive. In 2013 Amazon licensed the PCoIP protocol for use in AWS Amazon Workspaces. In 2008, VMware licensed Teradici's PCoIP protocol, and supports it in VMware Horizon View. The protocol is available in hardware and in software. PC-over-IP (PCoIP) is a proprietary remote display protocol developed by Teradici. "Teradici" was unique, sounded better and the domain name was available at the time. One-tenth of a tera is a deci, but "Teradeci" didn't roll off the tongue. That company's product involved a 100-gigabit datacenter networking device. The Teradici name originated from a previous company the founders were incubating.

Can hp pcoip zero client use wireless connection software#

Teradici developed a software implementation of PCoIP, which VMware started shipping in VMware View 4. In 2008, VMware announced it was licensing Teradici's PCoIP protocol. It operated in stealth mode until 2007 when they announced their first products, a blade server card and a small hockey puck shaped client, using a proprietary chip which implemented the PCoIP protocol. Teradici was founded in 2004 by Dan Cordingley, Dave Hobbs, Ken Unger and Maher Fahmi.

Base256 Encoding Android

The ANSI code pages can be different on different computers and can change on a single computer, leading to data corruption. For this reason, if the active code page is an ANSI code page, encoding and decoding data using the default code page returned by Encoding.GetEncoding(0) is not recommended. For the most consistent results, you should use a Unicode encoding.

Installing Android Barcode Fonts. The following steps assume that Eclipse is being used and that the Android SDK and plug-in have already been installed and configured. Download and unzip the Java Font Encoder into a directory on the development computer. (Java encoders for 2D barcode fonts are included in their respective font packages.); In Eclipse, open the properties of the.

It dynamically creates high-quality images that are streamed to an application. This service can easily create barcodes on-demand in any program that can access a URL in any operating system.

Learn to use Java AES 256 bit encryption to create secure passwords, and decryption for password validation. To read simple AES encryption, read linked post.

1. AES – Advanced Encryption Standard

AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm. It was intended to be easy to implement in hardware and software, as well as in restricted environments and offer good defenses against various attack techniques.

AES is block cipher capable of handling 128 bit blocks, using keys sized at 128, 192, and 256 bits. Each cipher encrypts and decrypts data in blocks of 128 bits using cryptographic keys of 128-, 192- and 256-bits, respectively. It uses the same key for encrypting and decrypting, so the sender and the receiver must both know — and use — the same secret key.

In below encryption and decryption example, I have used base64 encoding in UTF-8 charset. It is done for displaying the output of program. If your application, you can store and validate the data in byte array format as well.

2. AES 256 Encryption

Java program to encrypt a password (or any information) using AES 256 bits.

Do not forget to use same secret key and salt in encryption and decryption.

3. AES 256 Decryption

Java program to decrypt a password (or any information) using AES 256 bits.

4. Java AES 256 Example

Let’s test our AES256 encryption and decryption methods with a simple string.

Program output.

Clearly, we are able to use AES256 encryption to encrypt a string, and decryption to get back original string from encrypted string.

Happy Learning !!

The Australian Post 4 State barcode is a 4-state barcode. It supports four different formats:

Standard

Customer Barcode 2

Customer Barcode 3

Reply Paid Barcode

The Customer Barcodes 2 & 3 include a customer field for encoding data. This barcode also supports the Reed-Solomon error correction scheme.

Format Control Field

The Format Control Field is a 2 digit field identifying the barcode type:

11 - Standard Customer Barcode

59 - Customer Barcode 2

62 - Customer Barcode 3

45 - Reply Paid Barcode

Sorting Code

The Sorting Code is an 8 character sorting code (Delivery Point ID)

Customer Information

There is a free format area available in the Customer Barcodes 2 & 3. This will be decoded using the AustrailianPostCustomDecodeType.

If the decode mode is 'BarStates', then the output will be either bar state 'F' full bar, 'T' tracker bar, 'A' ascending bar, or 'D' descending bar.

If the decode mode is 'TableN', then the output will be decoded using the numeric decoding defined in the Australian Post specification.

If the decode mode is 'TableC', then the output will be decoded using the character decoding defined in the Australian Post specification.

If the decode mode is 'NoCustomDecode', then the bars in the custom section are not decoded.

Use the no custom decode if the decode mode has no custom decode type.

Note: If the FCC code is not valid, the confidence will be decreased by 10%.

Add 2 and Add 5 Barcode Specifications Retail barcodes (UPC and EAN) are strictly limited in the amount and format of the data that they encode. Add 2 or Add 5 barcodes give the vendors another two or five digits to identify the specific product, model, or issue. It is usually printed just to the right of the product code. For periodicals, an Add2 often indicates the issue, while other publications include a volume number.

Below is an Add 2 barcode example:

Below is an Add 5 barcode example:

This is a numeric only code used by the Airline industry, and is a variation of Industry 2 of 5. This barcode is also known as Airline 2 of 5.

BCD Matrix is a compact version of 2 of 5 barcodes, but its checking for the data patterns is not as robust. It does include a checksum character. It is not widely used.

Code 128 provides excellent density for all-numeric data and good density for alphanumeric data. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data. It is often selected over Code 39 in new applications because of its density and because it offers a much larger selection of characters. Code 128 is designed to encode all 128 ASCII characters.

A Code 128 can actually be divided into three subsets A, B, and C. There are three separate start codes to indicate which subset is being used. In addition, each subset includes control characters to switch to another subset in the middle of a barcode.

A - Digits, uppercase characters, standard ASCII symbols, and control codes.

B - Digits, upper and lower case characters, standard ASCII symbols, and control codes.

C - Numeric only. Compresses two numeric digits into each character, providing excellent density. Barcode Xpress Mobile will add a leading '0' if there are an odd number of digits in the code.

Each character is 11 times the width of the most narrow bar. Each character consists of 3 bars and 3 spaces. The bars always use an even number of elements and the spaces use an odd number. This provides the basis for a character-by-character consistency check during scanning. In addition, each Code 128 barcode includes a Modulo 103 checksum.

Codabar is used in libraries, blood banks, the overnight package delivery industry, and a variety of other information processing applications. Codabar is also known as USD-4, NW-7, and 2 of 7 code.

The Codabar character set includes the digits 0-9, six symbols including: minus '-', plus '+', period '.', dollar sign '$', slash '/', and colon ':', and the following start/stop characters A, B, C, and D. The start/stop characters must be used in matching pairs and may not appear elsewhere in the barcode. If you omit the start/stop characters, Barcode Xpress Mobile will use A and B respectively. Blood banks use the D stop character to indicate that the next barcode beginning with a D should be concatenated with the current barcode.

Note: By default, the read value of the Codabar barcode does not include the start and stop characters. To include the start and stop characters in the barcode result, the IncludeControlCharacters property must be set to true.

Traditional Codabar defines different element width for each of the characters in an effort to make all of the characters have the same width. Rationalized Codabar uses the same patterns, but assigns only 2 element width for wide and narrow.

Barcode Xpress Mobile implements Rationalized Codabar. Barcode Xpress Mobile generates an error if you have characters in your barcode value that are not allowed.

Codabar requires a quiet zone, which should be at least the width of 10 narrow bars. This means that if you set the MinimumBarWidth property to 3 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the HorizontalWhiteSpace property to 30 pixels. Since Codabar is self-checking, there is no standard checksum.

Code 32 is an Italian pharmacy code. It is a variant version of Code 39: it uses the exact same symbol set, stop and start code and rules, but restricts the characters that may be encoded to just digits and capital letters excluding the vowels ('A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'). Otherwise, it shares all the other advantages of Code 39.

Since Code 32 is a subset of Code 39, Barcode Xpress Mobile assumes the barcode is a Code 39 type when detecting all 1D types. The barcode type should be set specifically to Code 32 to read this barcode type correctly.

Note: If you use Barcode Xpress Mobile to detect Code 32 barcodes, you should set the BarcodeTypes property to this type so that the barcode engine specifically looks for Code 32. If you don't tell the barcode engine to specifically look for Code 32 barcodes, it might confuse a Code 32 barcode with a Code 39 barcode.

Code 39 is widely used in many industries across the world. It is the standard for many government barcode specifications, including the U.S. Department of Defense. Code 39 is also known as Code 3 of 9.

Code 39 was the first alphanumeric symbology. Its character set includes the digits 0-9, the letters A-Z (uppercase only), and the following symbols: space, minus '-', plus '+', period '.', dollar sign '$', slash '/', and percent '%'. Barcode Xpress Mobile generates an error if you have characters in your barcode value that are not allowed.

Each data character is made up of 5 bars and 4 spaces for a total of 9 elements. Each character includes 3 wide and 6 narrow elements. Thus, 3 out of the 9 elements are always wide, which is the reason why the code is sometimes called '3 of 9'.

Code 39 Extended was developed to provide a means of encoding additional characters that are not part of the Code 39 character set (for example, lowercase characters and additional symbols), and is essentially a superset of Code 39. Extended characters are encoded by using a pair of normal Code 39 characters. For example, a lowercase 'a' is encoded by the character pair '+A'. Code 39 Extended supports the full ASCII character set.

The ratio of wide to narrow bar width can be in the range of 1.8 to 3.4. The Barcode Xpress Mobile Code 39 uses a 2:1 wide:narrow bar width ratio.

Code 39 Extended requires a quiet zone, which should be at least the width of 10 narrow bars. This means that if you set the MinimumBarWidth property to 3 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the HorizontalWhiteSpace property to 30 pixels. Since Code 39 is a self-checking barcode, it normally does not require a checksum. However, when necessary, an optional modulo 43 checksum may be used.

Note: If you use Barcode Xpress Mobile to detect Code 39 barcodes, you should set the reader BarcodeType property to this type so that the barcode engine specifically looks for Code 39. If you don't tell the barcode engine to specifically look for Code 39 barcodes, it might confuse a Code 39 barcode with a Code 32 barcode.

Code 93 is a bar code symbology which encodes 43 data characters (0-9, A-Z, 6 symbols, and Space), four shift characters, and a unique start/stop character. Code 93 derives its name from the fact that every character is constructed from 9 modules arranged into 3 bars with their adjacent spaces.

The Code 93 character set includes the digits 0-9, the letters A-Z (uppercase only), and the following symbols: space, minus '-', plus '+', period '.', dollar sign '$', slash '/', and percent '%'. Barcode Xpress Mobile will generate an error if you have characters in your barcode value that are not allowed.

Code 93 requires a quiet zone, which should be at least the width of 10 narrow bars. This means that if you set the MinimumBarWidth property to 3 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the HorizontalWhiteSpace property to 30 pixels. Code 93 requires two checksum characters, sometimes referred to as the 'C' and 'K' characters.

Similar to Code 39 Extended, Code 93 Extended is a superset of Code 93. Extended characters are encoded by using a pair of Code 93 characters. For example, a lowercase 'a' is encoded by the character pair '+A'. The difference in Code 93 Extended, when compared to Code 39 Extended, is that the shift character used to encode an extended character is a reserved character, and not one of the standard 43 characters in the Code 93 character set. Code 93 Extended supports the full ASCII character set.

DataLogic 2 of 5 is a variation of the 2 of 5 barcodes using both white and black bars. It does not have a checksum character. It is not widely used.

DataMatrix is a widely used true 2D barcode. It allows for encoding large amounts of information (over 3000 characters) using a variety of character sets (ASCII, C40, TEXT, and BASE256) allowing efficient data packing or binary data storage as needed. DataMatrix employs an error correction system allowing it to read codes that are as much as 40% damaged.

Barcode Xpress Mobile supports the ECC 200 standard. It does not support the ECC 100-140 standards. Barcode Xpress Mobile does not support the automatic structured append feature. It returns results of each barcode, but the individual results have to be combined.

Note the image will be converted internally to an 8 bpp image for performance enhancement which will consume more memory but improve recognition performance.

An example DataMatrix barcode:

When reading 144 x 144 DataMatrix barcodes, Barcode Xpress will assume that the barcodes adhere to the specification. If reading fails, the component will automatically attempt to apply the recognition algorithm that will work on barcodes written by non-compliant components, and report the results. The barcode reader will not be notified that the barcode did not adhere to the specification. For these barcodes only, recognition speed will be impacted.

EAN-13 is used worldwide for marking retail goods. The symbol is numeric-only and encodes 13 digits. The first two or three digits are a country code which identify the country in which the manufacturer is registered (not necessarily where the product is actually made). The country code is followed by 9 or 10 data digits (depending on the length of the country code) and a single checksum digit that is automatically added by Barcode Xpress Mobile. If there are 13 digits, the last digit will be replaced with the correct checksum. There is a special form of EAN-13, called EAN-99 which just starts with '99'.

The JAN barcode is identical to the EAN-13 except with a country code of 49, designating that it was registered in Japan. The JAN barcode is treated exactly the same as the EAN-13 for reading barcodes within Barcode Xpress Mobile.

As of January 1, 2005, all retail scanning systems in the United States must be able to accept the EAN-13 symbol as well as the standard UPC-A symbol. The United States has begun the process of moving to the EAN-13 symbol, which will be known as the UPC-13 symbol in the USA.

The EAN (European Article Numbering) code is primarily used in supermarkets. EAN-8 is a shortened version of the EAN-13 code. It is a numeric-only code that includes a 2 or 3 digit country code, 4 or 5 data digits (depending on the length of the country code), and a checksum digit.

Unlike the UPC-E symbol, which compresses data that could also be printed as a full-size UPC-A symbol by squeezing out zeros, the data digits in an EAN-8 symbol specifically identify a particular product and manufacturer. Since a limited number of EAN-8 codes are available in each country, they are issued only for products with insufficient space for a normal EAN-13 symbol.

The GS1 DataBar™ barcode is also known as Reduced Space Symbology (RSS). GS1 DataBar is a 1D barcode. It is self-checking with a high data density. The GS1 DataBar family is designed as a successor to the older EAN/UPC formats.

It can hold the 14 digits of the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) and is smaller than the UPC and EAN barcode symbols. It carries more data than the UPC or EAN barcodes and its small size makes it a good candidate for small items, like produce.

'GS1 DataBar enables GTIN identification for fresh variable measure and hard-to-mark products like loose produce, jewelry and cosmetics. Additionally, GS1 DataBar can carry GS1 Application Identifiers such as serial numbers, lot numbers, and expiration dates, creating solutions to support product authentication and traceability for fresh food products and couponing.' (http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/databar)

The following 7 variants of GS1 DataBar are all supported by Barcode Xpress:

GS1 DataBar also has composite variants which Barcode Xpress does not support.

Industry 2 of 5 barcodes have been in use since the late 1960's for airline tickets, photo developing envelopes, and warehouse sorting systems. The Industry 2 of 5 barcode is also called Code 2 of 5.

Industry 2 of 5 encodes all of the information in the bars. The spaces are fixed width and are used only to separate the bars. Consequently, it is a fairly inefficient code in terms of how much space is required to encode a single digit.

Since Industry 2 of 5 is a numeric-only code, Barcode Xpress Mobile generates an error if the barcode value contains characters that are not numeric. Industry 2 of 5 requires a quiet zone, which should be at least the width of 10 narrow bars. This means that if you set the MinimumBarWidth property to 3 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the HorizontalWhiteSpace property to 30 pixels.

The Intelligent Mail Barcode is also known as the USPS OneCode Solution or USPS 4-State Customer Barcode (abbreviated 4CB, 4-CB, or USPS4CB). This barcode is adopting a new 4-state 1D barcode that includes more address information than the current code. A sample is shown below. Further information can be found at the USPS Web site: http://ribbs.usps.gov/onecodesolution/.

The Intelligent Mail barcode combines information currently found in the PostNet and Planet barcodes. The length of the barcode is fixed at 65 bars. It also contains a CRC-Checksum for verifying the barcode value. There is no error correction. The output of the barcode is a 20, 25, 29, or 31 digit string (0, 5, 9, or 11 digit zip code) containing the following data:

Statistics

The Mailer ID is a field within the Intelligent Mail barcodes that is used to identify Mail Owners and/or Mailing Agents. The IDs are assigned by the USPS to each Mail Owner and/or Mailing Agent that requests them. A Mailer ID can be a 9-digit field or a 6-digit field. The USPS assigns 6-digit or 9-digit Mailer IDs based upon the mail volume of the mailer.

The barcode identifier is a 2 digit field assigned by the USPS. The first digit ranges from 0-9 and the second digit ranges from 0-4.

Note: All 6-digit MIDs (Mailer IDs) assigned by USPS will begin with 0 through 8. All 9-digit MIDs will begin with the number 9.

Special services include a 3 digit field assigned by the USPS for any special services. The range is 000-999.

The customer identifier is a 6 digit field assigned by the USPS and is unique for each customer. The range is 000000000-999999999.

The sequence number is a 9 digit field assigned by the mailer for tracking mail pieces. The range is 000000000-999999999.

The zip code is a 0, 5, 9, or 11 digit zip code. The ranges are none, 00000-99999, 000000000-999999999, 00000000000-99999999999.

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a numeric-only barcode that is widely used in warehouse and industrial applications. It is also called ITF-14/SCC-14.

The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data. The code is a high-density code.

The symbol is called 'Interleaved' because a digit is encoded in the bars and the next digit is encoded in the spaces. There are five bars, two of which are wide; and five spaces, two of which are wide. Since the characters are interleaved in pairs, the barcode has to contain an even number of digits. If the barcode value contains an odd number of digits, Barcode Xpress Mobile barcode adds a leading '0' to the value.

Interleaved 2 of 5 requires a quiet zone, which should be at least the width of 10 narrow bars. This means that if you set the MinimumBarWidth property to 3 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the HorizontalWhiteSpace property to 30 pixels.

Inverted 2 of 5 is similar to Industry 2 of 5 (Industrial 2 of 5), except that the data is encoded in the white bars. It is not widely used.

Matrix 2 of 5 is similar to DataLogic 2 of 5 with a checksum character. It is not widely used.

Barcode Xpress Mobile supports the following patch codes:

Patch Code TypeBarcode ValuePatch 11100Patch 21001Patch 31010Patch 4 / Toggle Patch0110Patch 60011Patch T / Transfer patch0101

NOTE: Patch Codes will only be recognized if they are the single & only barcode type set to be recognized; they are mutually exclusive with all other barcode types.

PDF417 is often referred to as a stacked 1D barcode. Like DataMatrix it uses an error correction scheme and allows for encoding binary data.

An example PDF417:

Specific to the US Postal Service is the PostNet (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) barcode. Examples can be found on mail in the United States. It is unique in that it varies the height instead of the width of the bars. Except for the start and end bars, they are in groups of five, with two long and three short. A PostNet barcode can encode five, nine, or eleven digits, nothing else. It includes a checksum.

QR code is one of very few barcode types that allow encoding of Kanji and Kana.

Statistics

The symbol size of the QRcode is 21 x 21 modules to 177 x 177 modules corresponding to Version 1-40, increasing in steps of 4.

The numeric data is maximum capacity 7089 digits.

The alphanumeric data maximum capacity is 4296 characters.

The byte data maximum capacity is 2953 bytes.

The Kanji data maximum capacity is 1817 characters.

Error Correction Level

This barcode type uses a Reed-Solomon error detection and correction scheme. There are four levels of error correction, each with increasing amount of error recover.

The higher the error level, the less data that can be stored in the barcode.

'L' - 7% error recovery

'M' - 15% error recovery

'Q' - 25% error recovery

'H' - 30% error recovery

The United Kingdom has implemented a new 4-state barcode referred to as the Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code (RM4SCC).

An example is shown below:

This barcode type is used by the Royal Post. It encodes 5, 6, or 7 character post codes along with a two character Delivery Point Suffix (DPS). A checksum character is included to verify the barcode read.

A - Digits, uppercase characters, standard ASCII symbols, and control codes.

B - Digits, upper and lower case characters, standard ASCII symbols, and control codes.

C - Numeric only. Compresses two numeric digits into each character, providing excellent density. Barcode Xpress Mobile will add a leading '0' if there are an odd number of digits in the code.

The UPC-A code is the standard version of the UPC code and has 12 digits. It is also called UPC-12 and is very similar to the EAN code. The UPC-A code is a numeric code which is able to display digits from 0 to 9. Each character consists of two lines and two spaces.

Base256 Encoding Android Video

UPC-A encodes 12 digits. The first digit of the UPC-A code indicates what the code contains as follows:

0. Regular UPC code

1. Reserved

2. Articles where the price varies by weight: for example meat.

3. National Drug Code (NDC) and National Health Related Items Code (HRI)

4. UPC code which can be used without format restrictions. For use in-store on non-food items

5. Coupons

6. Reserved

7. Regular UPC code

Base 256 Encoding

8. Reserved

9. Reserved

The second to sixth digits indicate the producer of the article (UPC ID number). This number is issued by the Uniform Code Council (UUC). The seventh to eleventh digits show the individual article number issued by the producer. The last digit is a Modulo 103 checksum digit, which is calculated by Barcode Xpress Mobile.

The height of the UPC-A symbol should be at least half of the length of the symbol.

UPC-E is a variation of the UPC-A symbol that is used for number system 0. The UPC-E code is a numeric-only code which is able to display digits from 0 to 9. UPC-E has 8 digits, where the last digit is a checksum digit automatically added by Barcode Xpress Mobile. The first digit is always '0' and it is also automatically added by Barcode Xpress Mobile.

The UPC-E code is a compressed barcode which is intended for use on small items. Compression works by squeezing extra zeros out of the barcode and then automatically re-inserting them at the scanner. Only barcodes containing zeros are candidates for the UPC-E symbol.

When reading UPC-E, results are returned as uncompressed UPC values.

Base256 Encoding Android Text

Barcode Xpress Mobile generates an error if you have characters in your barcode value that are not allowed. You can have 6, 10, 11 or 12 digits in the UPC-E value. If the barcode value has more than 6 digits, Barcode Xpress Mobile automatically compresses the value. There are four rules that determine what UPC codes can be created using the compressed UPC-E format:

If the last 3 digits of the manufacturer’s number are 000, 100, or 200, the valid product code numbers are 00000-00999 (1,000 numbers).

If the last 3 digits of the manufacturer’s number are 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900, the valid product code numbers are 00000-00099 (100 numbers).

If the last 2 digits of the manufacturer’s number are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90, the valid product code numbers are 00000-00009 (10 numbers).

If the manufacturer’s number does not end in zero, the valid product code numbers are 00005-00009 (5 numbers).

Best Password Managers For A Mac

Top Password Managers For Mac

Password Manager For Macbook

Best Password Keeper For Mac And Iphone

The Best Password Managers PICK SWAP November 18, 2018 After a new round of research and testing, we still like the same password managers but have decided to flip our picks. Fortunately, almost all of our top password managers can sync across all of your Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. A few even let you authenticate on iOS or Android with your fingerprint. There are two types of Password Managers available now. One is Offline Password Managers and the other one is Online Password Managers. Offline Password Managers store passwords on the user’s computer and Online Password Managers stores store data in the provider’s cloud. So there are tons of Password Managers available right now.

Today on SocialPositives.com, we bring you the Top 10 Password Managers for Windows and Mac. We already published Best Windows Password Recovery Tools here. Today it’s about Password managers. LastPass is the best password manager for most people because it is easy to use and it does have a free version available to use.

Nov 23, 2018 Password managers are software tools whose purpose is to stop password reuse. They allow you to generate a strong, unique password for each online account you have, and they remember your login credentials for you.

LastPass provides apps and software working with Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, Linux. It also has browser extension compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge and Opera. LastPass features in password manager, password generator, username generator and LastPass Authenticator.

Updated: June 5, 2019 Home » Computer and Internet Security » Encryption, Password & Recovery

In today’s age, almost everyone owns a few email accounts, some have multiple Facebook accounts. How do you remember all of the password for these accounts? One way is to use the same password for all, this is very dangerous because if someone managed to steal your password, he or she has total access to all of your accounts.

Alternative Article ➤ Webcam Face Recognition Security Software and Password Manager Program

One method of separating your password between different accounts is to use the name of the service. For example, your password is ‘qwerty’ and for your facebook account, simply use ‘qwertybook’. To make it harder to crack, use ‘qwertybook1984’. This is not exactly the best method, if you need to remember 100 over password, you will need a password manager.

Zoom Meetings Are Not Safe? Not End-To-End Protected.

Zoom Meetings Fault Exhibits Email & App Images Of Users, Lacks End-To-End Encryption: Read Reports Here

Indeed the written chat at Zoom is authenticated from end to end.

Zoom has latterly become the go-to video conferencing platform (sorry Skype and Hangouts) as a lot of individuals area unit currently operating remotely whereas they practice self-isolation throughout the coronavirus outbreak. However, Zoom has additionally been involved in some worrying security problems within the past few days. And despite the corporate reassuring users that the platform is secure, there area unit a couple of lapses because of the direction of user information than will expose the non-public data of users. Also, Zoom looks to point that it offers end-to-end coding for everything, however really, solely text chats area unit end-to-end encrypted on its platform.

Zoom's Folly, User's Tragedy

Multiple users have detected that they'll see the e-mail address of random individuals and even their photos on their various Zoom profiles. Exposing email address to strangers is an associate open invite to spam in your inbox, however, there's a lot of worrying facets here. One will really begin a video decision with a random person whose profile seems in their contacts, while not really knowing them. So, how did this happen?

@zoom_us I just had a look at the free for private use version of Zoom and registered with my private email. I now got 1000 names, email addresses and even pictures of people in the company Directory. Is this intentional? #GDPR pic.twitter.com/bw5xZIGtSE

— Jeroen J.V Lebon (@JJVLebon) March 23, 2020

Zoom really maintains one thing referred to as ‘Company Directory' wherever area unit all email addresses with identical name (save for generic ones like Gmail and Yahoo) area unit listed along. Zoom apparently perceives similar name endings as individuals operating within the same company, however apparently, this methodology has its own flaws. If your email address has been extra to at least one such ‘company directory', misunderstanding you as a colleague of hundred others, random strangers will see your photos and even without your permission.

New: Zoom is leaking email addresses and photos of users to strangers. Zoom has treated some users who sign up with personal email addresses as if they're all part of the same company, letting them video call and see each other's info https://t.co/VooUc2b7xF

— Joseph Cox (@josephfcox) March 31, 2020

When Zoom was created conscious of the problem, the corporate blacklisted those domains."Zoom operates a registry of domains and also proactively detects additional domains. With respect to the different domains that you clearly outlined in your report, the area unit is officially blacklisted", a Zoom exponent was quoted as voice communication. Moreover, if your email address has additionally been compromised by a faulty listing in Zoom's directory, you'll really request Zoom to induce it removed. Zoom says on its web site that house owners or admins may also value more highly to close up the directory inclusion feature.

No, Zoom Video Calls Don't Seem To Be End-To-End Encrypted

“Zoom's answer and security design provides end-to-end coding and meeting access controls therefore information in transit can't be intercepted” says Zoom on its website. The statement makes one believe that Zoom calls area unit end-to-end encrypted, however that is not extremely the case. “Currently, it's insufferable to alter E2E coding for Zoom video conferences.

Zoom video conferences use a blend of protocol and UDP. Protocol Relationships Area Unit generated Persecution Unit TLS and UDP Region Communications Unit authenticated with AES using a key mediated over a TLS link, "a Zoom exponent was identified as Speech Exchange by The Intercept. The only material that is authenticated on Zoom end-to-end is the text in the chats.

What this suggests is Zoom will access the unencrypted video and audio content of users' conferences. this can be not the definition of end-to-end coding. End-to-end coding is once the content of a text or transmission spoken language will solely be accessed and decrypted by the sender and receiver as a result of they need the decoding keys, and not the service supplier itself.

This is what happens after you use apps like Signal and WhatsApp, however, that's not the case with Zoom. In broad terms, a third-party cannot listen in on your Zoom video or audio spoken language, however the corporate itself will access the contents. Of course, Zoom claims to abide by the privacy norms place in situ, however, the means Zoom explains the protection facet of the platform on its web site could be a bit deceptive.

Original Post from Trend Micro Author: Trend Micro

By David Fiser (Senior Cyber Threat Researcher)

Jenkins is a widely used open-source automation server that allows DevOps developers to build, test, and deploy software efficiently and reliably. In order to make the most out of Jenkins’ modular architecture, developers make use of plugins that help extend its core features, allowing them to expand the scripting capabilities of build steps. As of writing, there are over 1,600 community-contributed plugins in Jenkins’ Plugins Index. Some of these plugins store unencrypted plain text credentials. In case of a data breach, these can be accessed by cybercriminals without the organization’s knowledge.

On July 11 and August 7, Jenkins published security advisories that included problems associated with plain-text-stored credentials. For this blog, we will specifically discuss the ones that take advantage of the following information exposure vulnerabilities and the corresponding plugins affected:

CVE Plugin Name Remarks on Updated Versions CVE-2019-10348 Gogs Gogs Plugin version 1.0.15 CVE-2019-10350 Port Allocator Current version may not be safe to use. Plugin is up for adoption. Active security warning: Credentials stored in plain text CVE-2019-10351 Caliper CI Active security warning: Credentials stored in plain text CVE-2019-10378 TestLink Current and older versions may not be safe to use. Active security warning: Credentials stored in plain text CVE-2019-10385 eggPlant Plugin is deprecated

Table 1. Information exposure vulnerabilities in Jenkins plugins

It should be noted that, as of writing, the vulnerabilities in the Port Allocator, TestLink, and Caliper CI plugins have not been fixed. The current version of the eggPlant plugin has been deemed deprecated and is not safe to use.

Access to stored credentials

Vulnerabilities that affect Jenkins plugins can be exploited to siphon off sensitive user credentials. When credentials for users with Extended Read permissions or access to the master file system are leaked, an attacker may get access to other integrated services as well — especially if users use the same passwords for different platforms or services.

The plugins configuration is usually stored in the form of an XML file located inside the $JENKINS_HOME root, which defines the structure and settings that are mandatory for each plugin. Other times, a plugin’s configuration is saved as a part of a job configuration file, such as the $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/new-job/config.xml. If credentials are part of the plugin configuration, they are supposed to be stored in an encrypted form, which is not what happened in the case of the Gogs, Port Allocator, Caliper CI, TestLink, and eggPlant plugins.

The credentials are then stored in unencrypted plain text:

Figure 1. Plain-text-stored API token

The proper way of storing credentials is to delegate it to a third-party credential provider as in the case of the Credentials plugin, which is then referenced by credentialsId inside the configuration file.

In cases where a user is able to read configuration files, only the credentialsId reference will be viewable. The actual credentials are stored within the reference.

Figure 2. credentialsID reference

The Credentials plugin, included in the default suggested plugin list, is used for storing encrypted credentials. The following describe the credential storage details.

Figure 3. Storing credentials using the Jenkins Credentials reference

This plugin stores encrypted credentials inside $JENKINS_HOME/credentials.xml.

Figure 4. Example of encrypted credential storage

In the example above, the password is stored inside curly brackets notable in base64 encoding, an encoding scheme wherein binary data is encoded, stored, and transferred over a platform that is designed to process textual data. By using a base64 decoder, we can observe that certain non-printable characters are encoded.

In fact, the encrypted password, together with the encryption metadata, are encoded using base64.

The key used for decryption is hardcoded per Jenkins instance. The good news is that different installations of Jenkins result in different keys. The keys are stored encrypted inside the $JENKINS_HOME/secrets/hudson.util.Secret file. There is no single master key to open all instances. The hudson.util.Secret file is encrypted via AES using a key derived from the master key — which also differs per Jenkins installation.

This means, that protecting $JENKINS_HOME/secrets directory from unwanted access is crucial in order to prevent leaking stored credentials. Executing jobs or builds on master can lead to different activities that can impact the overall security of Jenkins, such as installing plugins, creating new jobs, and reading and exfiltrating credentials and other private data. A job running on master can also give a user account with less privilege access to administrator rights and allow it to print out all secrets using shell commands.

Security recommendations

Credentials stored in plain text can be a direct threat to organizations. However, administrators should also keep in mind that users who have access to $JENKINS_HOME/secrets directory also have access to stored credentials. $JENKINS_HOME/hudson.util.Secret together with $JENKINS_HOME/secrets/master.key are files used for decrypting saved passwords and their exposure allows the decryption of stored passwords.

Like any and all DevOps tools, Jenkins should be used with security in mind. In its default setting, Jenkins does not execute security checks. Hence, Jenkins recommends that users perform best practices, including authenticating users, enforcing access control, and not building on the master node for larger systems. If jobs absolutely have to be run on the master node, Jenkins recommends using the Job Restrictions plugin, which restricts job executions or node configuration based on user privilege.

Organizations can take advantage of Trend Micro DevOps security solutions, which help in baking security into development processes via APIs to improve development cycles and reduce human touch points and errors. Such security solutions can also reduce disruption of development schedules and workflows with protection for images, containers, and hosts by quickly closing the security feedback loop.
