Skytorrents: A non - Tracking, and Ad free Torrent Site.

Skytorrents: A non - Tracking, and Ad free Torrent Site.
Skytorrents: A non - Tracking, and Ad free Torrent Site.

All of you know about torrent websites. These sites provide tones of free content that violate copyrights. As soon as you click anywhere on the website or in the search bar, the website opens up a new ad page in the background often frustrating users. Likewise, many other smaller proxies and torrent websites go on to launch survey ads which often contain adware.
All these sites depend on the online advertisement for their revenue and operation. And Often, we also become the target to malicious popups. You will find any torrent sites rarely (or may be not) which has no ads.

What If any torrent websites will say to you that they will never show any ads and always respect your privacy? Of course all of you will pay a visit to that type of site.

I am talking here about SkytorrentsFew month ago, a new website launched in the world of torrent. This Website promises that they do not track its users and promises to deliver an ad-free torrenting experience.

Setting up a torrent site without ads isn’t hard, but the privacy element is trickier. To achieve this Skytorrents has had to make a lot of concessions, both in design and the general functioning of the site.

For respecting the privacy of the users, Skytorrents users don’t have to create any account. Also, the website doesn’t use JavaScript at all. Skytorrents also doesn’t use any CDN which often stores the end-users data. “For example, using a CDN breaches user privacy. As far as complete privacy is concerned, either there is complete privacy or zero privacy. For maintaining complete privacy, we do not use cookies, java scripts or user logins. We also do not have any moderators,” says Skytorrents team member.

According to TorrentFreak, Skytorrents’ operator said that, “We will NEVER place any ads. The site will remain ad-free or it will shut down. When our funds dry up, we will go for donations. We can also handover to someone with similar intent, interests, and the goal of a private and ad-free world.”

Also, there’s a separate tool for confirming genuine torrents. The website operator says that about 99.99% torrents are genuine. TorrentFreak writes that at the moment about 13,000,000 torrents are listed, and it’s continuously expanding.

The overall website looks clean and uses the spam detection algorithms to scan all listed torrents. Skytorrents website is a refreshing change over the ad-based torrent websites. The UI is simple yet interactive with a powerful search engine that throws up best torrent download results in a matter of seconds. The website runs on a CentOS operated server and has been created without PHP or MySQL.

It’ll be interesting to see whether they will be able to pull this off or able to keep their promise of an ad-free and privacy-focused website in future.


So, that's all about The newly launched website Skytorrents. Is there anything that we missed? Tell us in comment section. And do share with others too and let them also know.

Smart TVs can be Hacked just by using Broadcasting Signal

A Security Researcher warns about a new attack that uses rogue DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting — Terrestrial) to hack a wide range of Smart TVs. The Hackers are able to take complete control of a large number of sets at once without having any physical access to any of them.

Even the Hacking tool developed by CIA named "Weeping Angel," which could take over Samsung smart TVs and turn them into spying devices. But this Tool by CIA needed physical access to install Weeping Angel, which made it less likely to be used in mass attacks, and was only feasible if deployed on one target at a time, during carefully-planned operations.

The proof-of-concept exploit for the attack, developed by Rafael Scheel, a security researcher working for Swiss cyber security consulting company Oneconsult, uses a low-cost transmitter for embedding malicious commands into a rogue DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting — Terrestrial) signals. 

Scheel says that anyone can set up a custom DVB-T transmitter with equipment priced between $50-$150, and start broadcasting a DVB-T signal.

That signal is then broadcast to nearby devices. It worked against two fully updated TV models made by Samsung. By exploiting two known security flaws in the Web browsers running in the background, and once compromised, attackers could remotely connect to the TV over the Internet using interfaces, allowing them to take complete control of the device.

Once compromised, the TV would be infected in a way that neither device reboots nor factory resets would help the victims get rid of the infection. The attack was able to gain highly privileged root access to the TVs and use the device for all sorts of nasty actions, ranging from DDoS attacks to spying users.

Scheel provided a live hacking demonstration of the attack during a presentation at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) Media Cyber Security Seminar, saying about 90 percent of the Smart TVs sold in the last years are potential victims of similar attacks.

At the center of Scheel's attack is Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV), an industry standard supported by most cable providers and smart TV makers that "harmonizes" classic broadcast, IPTV, and broadband delivery systems. TV transmission signal technologies like DVB-T, DVB-C, or IPTV all support HbbTV.

Below you can watch the video of his presentation, which also includes demonstrations for both DVB-T attacks and proposed mitigations :




"Once a hacker has control over the TV of an end user, he can harm the user in a variety of ways," Rafael Scheel, the security consultant who publicly demonstrated the attack, told Ars. "Among many others, the TV could be used to attack further devices in the home network or to spy on the user with the TV's camera and microphone."

Best feature of this  attack is that this Attack is Fully Untraceable, the reason behind this is the DVB-T, the transmission method for HbbTV commands, is a uni-directional signal, meaning data flows from the attacker to the victim only. This makes the attack traceable only if the attacker is caught transmitting the rogue HbbTV signal in real-time. According to Scheel, an attacker can activate his HbbTV transmitter for one minute, deliver the exploit, and then shut it off for good.

It's almost impossible to get rid of infected smart TVs, any backdoors added through this method are almost impossible to remove, as the attacker could sabotage any firmware update mechanism and remain on the device until users got rid of their smart TVs. Furthermore, Scheel says even factory reset operations didn't help for the devices he tested, and the backdoor he developed remained on the TVs.

The researcher says that such a backdoor could be used to run IoT DDoS botnets, use the smart TVs as relay points for attacks on enterprise networks, spy on users via the TV's microphone and camera, steal data stored on the TV, inject ads on the TV (sabotage competitors on the smart TV market), and many other actions.

Once again this hacks underlines the risks of so-called "Internet of Things" devices, the vast majority of which are given network access and computing functionalities without being adequately secured. TVs and other Internet-connected appliances almost universally lack application sandboxing and other exploit mitigations that are a standard part of computer and mobile operating systems. Even worse, most devices run old versions of Linux and open source browsers that contain critical vulnerabilities. While patches are generally available on the Internet for the individual components, manufacturers rarely give customers a way to install them on the devices in a timely way.

Since the IoT devices are rapidly growing and changing the way we use technology, it drastically expands the attack surface, and when viewed from the vantage point of information security, IoT can be frightening.

Due to the insecure implementation, a majority of Internet-connected embedded devices, including Smart TVs, Refrigerators, Microwaves, Security Cameras, and printers, are routinely being hacked and used as weapons in cyber attacks.

So, is there anything to say about this Smart TVs Hacking, Tell us your views in the comment section below. And do share with others too.

How to stop the Batch File code?

Just press ctrl +C while the program is running. This stops the program and asks you if you want to quit the program. Press Y to exit.



Description, Why this Happens?

Here we saved the file with a '.bat' extension which stands for "batch" file .When a batch file is run, the shell program which is usually a Command Prompt or cmd.exe reads the file and executes its commands line-by-line.

Here in the code we are just printing random numbers which are generated by the line %random which generates random numbers. By using a lot of random variables we are generating the scrolling effect. 


If your screen doesn’t get filled with code horizontally, just paste more of those  %random variables in the code.
The line color 02 tells the computer to select green color. As from RGB Where if you want Red color change code to 04, if you want blue color change it to 01.
