These 8 Hacks Will Make Your Firefox Browser Lightening Fast!

Mozilla Firefox is proving to be one of the most powerful browsers off late. Plugins enable some things to become easier which is of great relevance to web-developers. Meanwhile, tweaking/hacking the right settings and you could end up with a much faster web browser, even doubling your speed in some cases.

1.Enable pipelining

To enable it:

Type about:config in the address bar > double-click network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining so their values are set to true > double-click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests > set this to 8.

This will dramatically reduce page download times. 

2.Render quickly

To enable it:

Type about:config and press Enter > right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) somewhere in the window and select New > Integer > Type content.notify.interval as your preference name > click OK, enter 500000 > click OK again > Right-click again in the window and select New > Boolean > create a value called content.notify.ontimer > Set it to True.

3.Faster loading

To enable it:

Type about:config and press Enter > right-click in the window and select New > Integer > Type content.switch.threshold > click OK > enter 250000 > click OK.

4.No interruptions

To enable it:

Type about:config, press Enter > right-click in the window > select New > Boolean > Type content.interrupt.parsing > click OK > set the value to False and click OK.

5.Block Flash

Installing the Flashblock extension will block all Flash applets from loading, web pages will therefore display much more quickly. 

6.Increase the cache size

To enable it:

Type about:config and press Enter > right-click anywhere in the window > select New > Integer > Type browser.cache.memory.capacity > click OK > enter 65536 and click OK > restart your browser to get the new, larger cache.

7.Enable TraceMonkey

This new Firefox feature converts slow JavaScript into super-speedy x86 code. Install the latest nightly build, launch it, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Type JIT in the filter box, then double-click javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content to change their values to true.

8.Compress data

Install the Java applet toonel.net. It will re-route your web traffic through its own server, compressing it at the same time. It can even compress JPEGs by allowing you to reduce their quality. This comes in handy to cut your data transfer, particularly useful if you're on a limited data account service.

35 ebooks for learning C-Language

 C programming is one of the most popular and widely used programming languages for creating computer programs and one major reason behind its popularity is because C gives maximum control and efficiency to the programmer.

It allows the programmer to read and write code for a large number of platforms and everything from microcontrollers to the most advanced scientific systems can be written in C, and many modern operating systems are written in C

Top 7 criminals of FBI

 Here's a list of 7 hackers and cyber criminals that are most wanted by FBI. These men are wanted for different hacking and fraud crimes that victimized hundreds of thousands of people and led to losses of tens of millions of dollars.

1. ALEXSEY BELAN

REWARD: The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Alexsey Belan. 

Alexsey Belan was put under the charge of intruding into the computer networks of three major United States-based e-commerce companies in Nevada and California between January of 2012, and April of 2013. He allegedly stole the user databases including the user data and the encrypted passwords of millions of accounts which was then used to negotiate for the sales of the databases.

Belan carries a Russian citizenship and holds a Russian passport. 

2. PETERIS SAHUROVS

REWARD: The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Peteris Sahurovs. 

Peteris Sahurovs was allegedly involved in international cybercrime scheme that made use of computer virus which involves online sale of fraudulent computer security programs that victimised more than $2 million internet users between February of 2010 to September of 2010.

As mentioned on FBI's website, “It is alleged that in February of 2010, Sahurovs contacted an online newspaper claiming to work for an online advertising agency that represented a hotel chain that was seeking to place advertisements on the paper's website. Sahurovs utilized fraudulent references and bank accounts to deceive the newspaper into believing he represented a legitimate advertising agency.

Sahurovs provided electronic files containing the fictitious hotel advertisements to the newspaper, which began running the advertisements on its website. He then replaced the hotel advertisements with a file containing a malicious computer code, or malware, which infected the computers of people who visited the website and required them to purchase antivirus software for $49.95 to regain control of their computers. If the users did not purchase the software, their computers immediately became inundated with pop-ups containing fraudulent "security alerts," and all information, data and files stored on the computers became inaccessible.”

Such fraudulent advertising cases and infection schemes were conducted against many online businesses.

Sahurovs is expected to be in Rezekne, Latvia and he also visits Kiev, Ukraine. He is known to use the following screen names: "PIOTREK," PIOTREK89" and "SAGADE."

3. ARTEM SEMENOV

REWARD: The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Artem Semenov. 

Artem Semenov has made to this list by allegedly participating in an Eastern European cyber crime ring, operating out of New York.

4. SHAILESH KUMAR P. JAIN

REWARD: The FBI is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Shailesh Kumar P. Jain. 

Shailesh Kumar P. Jain, together with his co-conspirator, Bjorn Daniel Sundin, was allegedly involved in an international cybercrime scheme which sold more that ome million bogus software in almost 60 countries which resulted in consumer loss of above $100 million. Between December 2006 to October 2008, Jain and his accomplices duped internet users by making them believe that their computers were infected with malware and critical errors, and in order to resolve them they needed to purchase “scareware” software products which actually had limited or no ability to remedy the purported defects.

As mentioned on FBI's listing, “Jain and his co-conspirators allegedly deceived victims, through browser hijacking, multiple fraudulent scans and false error messages, into purchasing full paid versions of software products offered by their company, Innovative Marketing, Inc. The proceeds of these credit card sales were allegedly deposited into bank accounts controlled by the defendant and others around the world, and were then transferred to bank accounts located in Europe. When customers complained that their purchases were actually fraudulent software, call center representatives were allegedly instructed to lie or provide refunds in order to prevent fraud reports to law enforcement or credit companies.

On May 26, 2010, Jain was indicted in Chicago, Illinois, by a federal grand jury for the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois. He was indicted for wire fraud, conspiracy to commit computer fraud and computer fraud. That same day, a federal warrant was issued for Jain’s arrest.”
