Pakistan To Ban Encryption Software And VPN Connections Within Country

Pakistan's Telecommunication Authority (PTA), a governing body in Pakistan which looks after and maintains country's network traffic and also examines website structure and its access points within country has blocked encryption VPN connection in Pakistan due to terrorism and other hacking activities. It�s not a first time that Pakistan has banned any particular website or connection, In past Pakistan and PTA had also banned popular social networking website "Facebook� because of blasphemous material about the religion on Facebook.

According to the Guardian report, the banned was made over encryption and VPN connections specifically targeting Virtual Private Network (VPN) in country. All internet traffic in the country travels through the Pakistan Internet Exchange, which can be intercepted by the military and civil intelligence agencies. The move echoes a crackdown against encrypted communications across the border in India and in China. 

People have been using VPNs to bypass the filters, access data, and send private communications, but the PTA is requiring ISPs to report customers who are still using this technology. In Pakistan most of the company's owners are not happy with this step from PTA because in Pakistan many local and international companies use VPN technology in order to maintain an end-to-end tunnel that can be used to encrypt sensitive data between branch offices, and those connections will fall under this ban. According to the PTA note people can request waivers to this ban, but it is unclear how that process will work and who will be allowed to apply for these exceptions.

The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority legal notice urged ISPs to report customers using "all such mechanisms including EVPNs [encrypted virtual private networks] which conceal communication to the extent that prohibits monitoring". Anyone needing to use this technology needs to apply for special permission

After testing deals for four months, we�ve decided to end our deals product in the coming weeks. We think there is a lot of power in a social approach to driving people into local businesses.  We remain committed to building products to help local businesses connect with people, like ads, pages, sponsored stories, and check-in deals. We�ve learned a lot from our test and we�ll continue to evaluate how to best serve local businesses.

If you have noticed Facebook has recently made some changes in its news feed and privacy settings in which they have altered the visibility of deals, potentially reducing their exposure as users choose to limit who can see various activities. These changes also include the phasing out of places in favor of location tagging.

Suitable and Cost Effective Business VoIP Service

Get the Most out of Your Business�s VoIP

You want to make sure that every aspect of your business runs efficiently and your phone system is no exception. Taking advantage of certain features could help your business operate more efficiently, reduce costs and improve productivity. Use the tips below to get the most out of your business VoIP.

Make Sure You Get the Basic Calling Features You Need

The specific calling features that you need will likely depend on the kind of business that you operate. A call center, for instance, will probably need a toll free number as well as a local number. A company that has offices in several countries might want to consider signing up for international calling features that can help keep prices low. 

Other basic features that you should consider include 411 directory assistance, fax services, and 911 emergency service.

Consider Additional Calling Features for Your Business

VoIP service offers features that can help you focus on your most important goals. Some of the most important features include caller ID, call transfers, call forwarding, and sequential ring. 

Caller ID can help you identify whether you need to answer the phone. If you are in the middle of an important report, you might not want to answer a call from certain people. If a major client calls, though, you need to know so that you can give them attention.

Call forwarding is helpful because no matter where you�re at, you don�t have to miss a call. Phone calls to your office, for example, can be forwarded to your cell phone. That way, you can feel free to leave the office, knowing that you will never have to miss an important call. 

Sequential ringing offers a similar advantage. If a call comes in and no one is available to answer it at reception desk for example, the call is then automatically transferred to another desk where someone can answer it. This feature reduces the number of unanswered calls which could increase sales and improve customer service.

Useful Voicemail Features from Business VoIP

Business VoIP offers several voicemail features that can help you work more efficiently. Voicemail to email is one of the most useful tools. In order to listen to a voicemail, you have to excuse yourself and spend time on your phone. When the voicemail message is converted into an email, though, you can casually glance at your phone to get the gist of the message. That way, you stay informed without missing something or offending clients and colleagues.

VoIP service for businesses, such as Aptela business VoIP, offers many more features than typical phone services and it can seem a little confusing at first. If you feel overwhelmed, go through the features one at a time to decide whether they are useful for your business. In many cases, taking your time will allow you to see how useful these features are in certain situations. You might even find yourself thinking �finally, a solution that problem that�s been bugging me for years!�

After you have explored your options, you can put together a custom package of the services that you need to make your business to meet customer needs and interact with partners more effectively.

Turn Your Smartphone Into Mobile Hacking Device Through Android App

Mobile Phone Hacking is on its peak so that Smartphone's owners have to look after their mobile phones seriously to avoid dangerous hacking attempts especially "Android Smartphone Users". Because it has been rumored spreading on internet since last weeks about an Android App called Anti or Android Network Toolkit, which perhaps going to launch in Android Market Next Week. This new Android Application Program has been introduced by which Israeli security firm Zimperium which is revealed at the Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas Friday and plans to make available to all Android users in coming days, is designed for penetration testing in theory, searching out and demonstrating vulnerabilities in computer systems so that they can be patched. Anti aims to bring all the hacking tools available to penetration testers on PCs to smartphones, with an automated interface intended to make sniffing local networks and owning remote servers as simple as pushing a few buttons. However, the way people tend to use smartphones can also put them at risk. Herring noted that mobile users tend to be in distracting environments, so they generally provide only short bursts of divided attention to their phones.

According to Itzhak "Zuk" Avraham, founder of Tel-Aviv-based Zimperium;

"We wanted to create a penetration testing tool for the masses, It's about being able to do what advanced hackers do with a really good implementation. In your pocket."

"People might use it in dangerous ways," Avraham says with a shrug. "I really hope not. But I know this might be the risk to help people increase their security, and that's our goal."

A free app with a 10$ corporate upgrade, will offer a Wi-Fi-scanning tool for finding open networks and showing all potential target devices on those networks, as well as trace route software that can reveal the IP addresses of faraway servers. Infected phones also can become part of a "botnet," which means your phone could be used without your knowledge as part of a larger attack scheme. This can also drive up your data traffic, which can push you toward your data plan's cap faster. Why is Android a bigger mobile security concern? It's an open platform, which presents significant pros and cons. When a target is identified, the app offers up a simple menu with commands like "Man-In-The-Middle" to eavesdrop on local devices, or even "Attack"; the app is designed to run exploits collected in platforms like Metasploit or ExploitDB, using vulnerabilities in out of date software to compromise targets. Malware can cause a lot of surreptitious activity on your phone, so battery performance might be a clue. "If your battery suddenly starts draining really fast, consider that it might be malware.
