Private browsing hits another set-backWeb servers (that provide the web pages you view in your browser) collect a lot of information about the type of browser and its configuration as web pages are requested to be viewed.
Browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome) 'leak' a lot of non-personal information that can be collected by web sites. This information (say screen resolution, type of plug-ins the browser has loaded etc) does not have any significant personal information value. From that point of view this data collection is mostly harmless.
However, a lot of non-personal information can be collected - and added together this information can act as a kind of 'fingerprint' and could be used to show that one particular users browser set-up must have accessed a particular web-site.

If you are using passwords to protect critical data or online services then theyu need to be unguessable by machines that can try hundreds of thousands passwords over a relatively short period of time.
Using passwords that anyone can guess because they are easy to remember should not be done for any type of protection to services or data you are actually worried or care about.
Check the strength of your passwords here with this Password Strength Meter - you may be surprised at how poor your passwords actually are! | | Last Updated on Wednesday, 21 July 2010 08:44 |
| | Written by WinAbility Software | | Sunday, 16 May 2010 16:38 |  When you password-protect a disk or a file with encryption software, you are often have a choice of the size of the encryption key, which could be 128- or 256-bit, or even longer. Which size should you choose?
The naïve answer seems to be "the longer the better": the 256-bit encryption’s got to be much stronger than 128-bit, why not use it? The reality is, however, that for all practical purposes the 128-bit encryption is just as strong as the 256-bit, while it requires less computational resources and is performed faster. How can it be, you might be wondering? | | Last Updated on Thursday, 05 August 2010 19:48 | | Read more... |

 One of the central tenents of information security is "Availability". One aspect of this, would be to check on the health of your PC's hard disk from time to time (another would be to make sure you have full system backups in case your hard disk crashes completely)

| Written by Know a Byte | | Saturday, 06 March 2010 15:47 |  One of the biggest threats when using a wireless network is that an unauthorised hacker, neighbour's computer etc connects to it.
Once passed your routers firewall your PC can be directly attacked as can your internet connection itself. To guard against this you must enable encryption. Common standards are: WEP - this is Wired Equivalent Privacy, but is old and obsolete - don't use this unless there are no other options - it is better than nothing by a long way though! EDIT - read our blog post on how WEP is broken to see how easily this can be bypassed with the correct tools WPA - WiFi Protected Access, until recently the recommended standard - if you have this use it. WPA2- WiFi Protected Access, err 2! This protocol is the best and supports two standards - look for routers that support the AES standard. | | Last Updated on Saturday, 17 July 2010 09:27 | | Read more... |
