Types of Proxy | Hide IP Address


A proxy server acts as an interface between the user and the internet if you want to Change your IP Address.
Don’t know what is IP Address?
Read: What is IP Address
Now I’ll come to the heart of the post, which contains the answer to your curious question How to Hide the IP address ? The only solution to hide your IP address is by using a Proxy Server. But Wait! The story doesn’t end here. Even though proxy servers are the only way to hide your IP address, there are several ways of connecting your PC to the proxy server. Before setting up the connection with the proxy servers you must know some information about different types of proxy servers and their uses.
1. Transparent Proxy Server
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and also makes the original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally used to speedup the web browsing since thay have a very good ability to cache websites. But they do not conceal the IP of it’s users. It is widely known as transparent proxy because it will expose your real IP address to the web. This type of proxy server does not hide your IP address.
2. Anonymous Proxy Server
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
3. Distorting Proxy Server
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
4. High Anonymity Proxy Server (Elite Proxy)
This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.So this is the best way to mask your IP.

Which Proxy Server is the best to Hide My IP ?
I know, you can answer this question better than me.Obviously High Anonymity Proxy or Elite Proxy is the best to hide your IP. But it’s not easy to get a list of working elite proxies. If you search the Google, you will definitely get tons of proxy list. You’ll get a list of proxies in the following format

IP:Port Number

Eg: 221.90.45.67:8080 (221.90.45.67 is the IP of the proxy server and 8080 is the port number)
But most of them don’t work. Here are some of the problems/risks associated with using free proxies that are available on the internet.
  • Most of them do not work since the proxy servers frequently changes it’s IP/Port number.
  • Even if you find a working proxy server it may be too slow.
  • Your privacy is not guaranteed since all your traffic is routed through the proxy server.
  • The administrators of the proxy servers may steal your valuable information such as passwords, SSN (Social security number), Credit Card details etc.
So with all these being the risks then how to find a working, fast ,highly anonymous and secured Proxy servers?
Now I will share the software that works like charm to change the email accounts.
Hide My Ass pro Vpn is the best proxy server out there. I personally loved it.

How to ensure that the IP is hidden ?
Before you hide your IP you can check your real IP by visiting the following site.
Once you get your real IP, switch on your IP hiding software. Now once again visit the above site and check your IP address. If you see a new IP then this means that your software is doing the right job. Also the above site(Whatismyipaddress.com) is capable of detecting many proxies. If you see the words such as “suspected proxy server or network sharing device” or similar words then it means that the proxy you are using is not an Elite Proxy.
One Final Word before you leave! Even though Elite proxies are almost undetectable they can be detected at a higher level. But the process would be much harder and time consuming than free proxies. So only high end elite proxies are recommended by us.
One More thing, it is unsafe to use free proxy during e-commerce transactions such as Online banking, Online Credit Card payment etc. So please avoid free proxies during these circumstances and use elite proxies (like hide my ass pro vpn) only if required.
I Hope this post helped you to learn about the types of proxy servers and how to hide ip address to a great extent.
Feel free to pass on comments.

Password Hacking

Password cracking is the process of recovering secret passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system. A common approach is to repeatedly try guesses for the password.


Most passwords can be cracked by using following techniques :

1) Hashing :- 

Here we will refer to the one way function (which may be either an encryption function or cryptographic hash) employed as a hash and its output as a hashed password.
If a system uses a reversible function to obscure stored passwords, exploiting that weakness can recover even 'well-chosen' passwords.
One example is the LM hash that Microsoft Windows uses by default to store user passwords that are less than 15 characters in length.
LM hash breaks the password into two 7-character fields which are then hashed separately, allowing each half to be attacked separately.

Hash functions like SHA-512, SHA-1, and MD5 are considered impossible to invert when used correctly.

10 TIPS FOR A TOTAL ONLINE SECURITY

With the sudden rise in the Internet usage across the globe over the past few years, there has also been a rise in the amount of online scams and frauds. Today, most of the Internet users are unaware of the most prevailing online threats which pose a real challenge for their safe Internet usage. As a result online security has become a questionable factor for the most Internet users.


Protect your cloud storage from hacking



The concept of cloud storage has become more common these days especially when offered commercially since it's more cost effective for a large corporation to store data on an off-site data center. It is cheaper and they don't have to worry about finding space for storing data on server which can be the size of a warehouse. However, at individual level, it is preferred less over local storage devices like flash drive, hard drive and disk drive.

Creating a Task
First, launch the task scheduler by typing Task Scheduler into your Start menu and pressing Enter.



Your mouse may actually be a RAT in disguise

Security researchers have discovered a Trojan that attaches its malicious code to routines normally used only to control the inputs from mouse clicks.

The tactic is designed to smuggle malicious code past automated threat analysis systems. During such procedures there's no user input and certainly no mouse moving and clicking. The malicious code is designed to remain inactive unless the mouse itself is in use, giving a fair chance that the RAT (remote access Trojan) will remain undetected.


The growing volume of malware means automated threat analysis systems are increasingly important. Only the more unusual analysis work gets passed on to human analysts. Even if the mouse-attached RAT gets caught out at this stage it still gains extra longevity. The development means that anti-virus firms will probably need to include a virtual mouse clicker and nudger in their automated analysis routines.

The sneaky mouse-hogging malware was detected by security researchers at Symantec. The security giant has also come across strains of malware that use "sleep mode" to evade dynamic analysis systems.

Different Types of Malware and How They Work

Malware is a collective term used to represent virus, worms, spyware and other malicious programs out there on the Internet. In simple words, any software program that is intended to cause direct or indirect harm to the computer system is referred to as a malware.
Some malware programs cause serious problems such as destroying the system files, causing disruption to the computer operation or gathering sensitive information while others may only have a light impact such as redirecting websites to pornographic content or annoying the users with pop-ups and banners.
In the normal routine, we have often seen every malicious program being referred to as a virus, but this is not correct! In fact, as mentioned earlier, there exists several malicious programs where virus is one among them. Now, many of you may may be wondering to know what’s the difference between them. Well, this article gives a detailed information on different types of malware that exist, how they work and how they differ from each other:

1. Computer Virus:

As we all know, this is the type of malware that has become highly popular and is one of the most widely discussed topic in the field of computer security. A virus is just a computer program that is designed to take unauthorized control of the infected computer so as to cause harm to the system’s data or degrade it’s performance.

Mode of operation:

Computer viruses operates by attaching themselves to an already existing file or program and replicates itself to spread from one computer to another. In most cases, they tend to infect executable files that are parts of legitimate programs. So, whenever the infected file is executed on a new computer, the virus gets activated and begins to operate by further replication or causing the intended damage to the system.
A virus cannot perform it’s task of harming and replication unless it is allowed to execute. This is the reason why viruses often choose an executable file as it’s host and get attached to them. Viruses are mainly classified into two types:

7 Web Security Risks of Not Monitoring Internet Activity

Internet access is one of the most important things you can provide to your users. It’s a morale booster, it helps them do their job (for some it is even a vital component of their job,) it enables them to find solutions to problems, research the competition, find new customers, and more. But Internet access comes with a host of threats and if you are not on top of your web security game, allowing your users to have Internet access may cause just as many problems as it can solve. If you are going to provide your users Internet access, consider these top six web security risks of not monitoring Internet activity, and deploy a web security solution to make sure you don’t regret the generosity to your users.

Benefits of using BCC while sending Email


Almost every user on the Internet sends/receives hundreds of emails per day. However only a handful of them know what is BCC and what are the advantages of using BCC while sending an email. If you are one such Internet user who is unaware of BCC then this is the post that you should definitely read!


What is BCC?


BCC stands Blind Carbon Copy. It refers to the practice of sending an email to multiple recipients without disclosing the individual emails addresses. While sending the same email/message to multiple recipients, it is a common practice for most users to separate the email addresses by using comma or semi-colon and insert all those addresses in theTo: filed. When emails are sent in this way, each receiver is able to see the complete list of recipient email addresses to which the same message if being sent to. Unlike To:, theBCC: option allows you to hide the recipients in email messages. In other words, when emails are sent using BCC:,  the receiver will not be able to see the list of recipient email addresses. Thus using BCC is a smart way to protect the privacy of the recipients.

Why should you use BCC?

3 Basic Ways to Tell Your Computer Has Been Hacked

Learning how to hack into the accounts of individuals is really convenient and pretty cool—but when the tables get turned around and you become the "hackee"—yeah, not so cool any more. Thankfully there are some clues that may suggest you are the victim of being hacked. To learn what they are, continue reading below.

1. It Seems as Though a Ghost Lives Inside Your Computer. 

If you start noticing that your computer starts to act strangely, almost paranormal like—for example maybe the cursor starts to move on its own, emails that you know were untouched in your inbox before suddenly vanish, passwords magically change, or numbers and other characters appear on your screen when you are more than sure that you didn’t even touch your keyboard—then chances are your "ghost" lives in some house across the country and is controlling your laptop or desktop from a distance. As soon as you notice any kind of the unusual activity listed above, it's recommended to immediately dis enable your wireless or unplug your Ethernet cable so the hacker cannot access your computer. Then you need to immediately scan your computer with your anti virus software so that it can remove any cookies or installed malicious software that the hacker administered to your computer. If you do not have anti virus software installed because you think it's just too expensive, AVG offers a basic version for free. 

2. Your Internet Connection has Suddenly Turned into a Turtle. 

7 Things You Should Know About Online Passwords

As online technology has advanced, so have hackers techniques for getting into your accounts and stealing personal information. If you’re still using the same password you made up when you opened your first email account, you are setting yourself up to be a hacking victim. But don’t worry; read on and learn how to set those Internet geniuses-gone-wrong up for failure by knowing the essentials about online passwords.


1.You need different passwords for each site

Since passwords are so hard to remember and you sometimes don’t sign into a site for months, many people have one or two passwords they use for everything. This is an easy way for hackers to get access to your accounts. Hackers will infiltrate sites that aren’t very secure and uncover thepasswords used there. Then they run them on all the most popular sites. By using a different one for each site you log into, you’re not handing them your life if they figure out one password.
2.Longer passwords are harder to hack

List of websites to check whether website is safe to use or not

To make sure whether site is free from malware or not, we have to verify the target-link with few more sites.

Here ,i list out some websites that helpful to identify whether site is safe or not :
