Who is a hacker, and who isn’t. Is hacker a criminal ?

Hackers are just simple people who tinker with technology.
All hackers aren’t criminals.

Confusion Cleared –
Criminal Hackers are being called crackers since few years, I thought script kiddies were called as crackers.

Who are Malicious Users ?
People who abuse the computer access privileges are called as malicious users

Why do you need to learn about hacking ?
I quote “You need protection from hacker shenanigans; you have to be as savvy as the guys trying to attack your systems.”, such a great line by Kevin Beaver.

This was
Session 1 of reading the book “Hacking for dummies” – Kevin Beaver

Such an awesome book for beginners like me, hehe.

Custom ROMs (lenovo A6000)

This post is centric and huge towards the lenovo A6000 phone, although if you’re interested, you can read my experiences :

Being a Lenovo Phone, this phone has support for many custom ROMs out there in the market, although most of the custom ROMs are based on old / not supported android versions, such as the android Nougat and the android Oreo.
Few ROMs do support the android 10, and they’re totally worth to check out.

But as the hardware is of 2013, being one of the processors from a decently bad (hehe) (yet developing times) , lags you down on multi tasking.
There are few ROMs which are seemingly lighter, such as the cr droid.

Why is CR DROID good ?

The kernel is based on lineage os and android 10, one of the lightest ones so performance = op.
The launcher offers many customizations yet very similar to that of AOSP extended, Havoc OS or any other custom rom, namely the

Accent Color
Icon Shape
Font
Wallpaper
Clock
Status Bar Customizations (19 sub categories)
Lockscreen (11 of em)
- INCLUDES AN OPTION TO CHANGE CHARGING ANIMATIONNNNNNN
Navigation (3 of em)
Buttons (hard) (18 of em)
User Interface (5 of em)
Notification (7 of em)
Sound (7 of em)
Miscellaneous (13 of em)
- INCLUDES CHARGING LIMITER – for the night charging peeps
- Gaming mode
- Hide apps from recents
- CPU
NOT A FEATURE – but provides links to all cr droid official websites and allows users to update from the settings.

If youre looking forward for android 11, I would suggest you to also take a look at the Lineage OS 18.1, the only custom ROM with Android 11 GO.

Why is Lineage OS good ?

Custom ROM enthusiasts defo have tried Lineage OS at least once, Its developed from Cyanogen Mod, the OG Custom ROM, Lineage OS is known for its performance and the smoothness of the interface while keeping the customizations untouched and completely tweakable. The features are quite similar to that of CR Droid, just missing the “Hide apps from recents” and the “pre included fonts”, though you have the same system font changer. But yes, “To gain something you have to lose something” The lineage os has a better and newer security build.

Both the OS’s have a community in common, and I appreciate the owner of the community (telegram admin) for creating one such community with active links and developers. Though the xda being having more custom roms/kernels/etc, most of the links are expired, telegram channel however maintains active links and file sources.

XDA

Finally the expected yet failed rom (my view) ? AOSP Extended or the AEX.

The AOSP extended is designed to be and usually light, smooth and bug-free (laughing internally). But the AOSP extended version for lenovo A6000 (now discontinued, but I still have the old file ), based on android 8 isn’t a good hit at all, buggy and definitely an enemy for the poor lenovo A6000’s battery life.

Conclusion

The CR DROID is the clear winner for me. Lineage os however has the newer android and security build.

Had a great experience trying different ROMs for Lenovo A6000, 7 ROMs and all of em were fun to use and test. Sorry about not trying the benchmarks, struck my mind after flashing 5 of em. Always open for corrections and suggestions at Gmail and comments section given below

Thanks a lot for taking time and reading my review.

Interested in ROMs or want to know about the custom ROMs for your device, I can invest some time, mail me.

CyberSecurity 🌐🔗

Cyber security is also becoming a need in this digital world, many people around us are getting affected by the insecurities on a daily basis, one should have awareness about all the frauds, and all the insecurities which cause frauds.A simple antivirus is not the solution,we should know every bit and byte of data which is comes and goes from our pc💻/tablet📱/mobile 🤳or any other device, for this kind of data interception one must know about their daily activities very keenly. Even after having all the knowledge about our daily activities, we should be still aware of insecurities to avoid getting affected🔓

Stay aware,Stay awake.

Lessons on insecurities 👨‍💻 coming soon.

Block Chain

Block Chain is most possible secured way to share information , most kind of hackers use this as an advantage

Refer to my Instagram for more information about block chain

Pigpen Cipher

The pigpen cipher (alternately referred to as the masonic cipher, Freemason’s cipher, Napoleon cipher, and tic-tac-toe cipher) is a geometric simple substitution cipher, which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid. The example key shows one way the letters can be assigned to the grid. It it is not usefull in security but is taught to children and beginers in coding.

Caesar Code

The Caesar Cipher technique is one of the earliest and simplest method of encryption technique. It’s simply a type of substitution cipher, i.e., each letter of a given text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, B would become C, and so on. The method is apparently named after Julius Caesar, who apparently used it to communicate with his officials.
