The NETGEAR Nighthawk X10 AD7200 802.11ad Smart WiFi router (R9000) costs $500. Let's get that out of the way. Some people think this is way too much to spend on a wireless router. Depending on your budget and needs, yeah, this could be too much for you. If you have a big home and spend a lot of time on the internet, however, money may be no object for a fast and reliable connection. This particular router is NETGEAR's top-of-the-line home offering, meaning it is chock-full of features and technology. In fact, it even has 802.11ad -- something that is not… [Continue Reading]
HTTPS Checker scans your site for mixed content issues

Publié: décembre 30, 2016, 7:02pm CET par Mike Williams

Switching your website to HTTPS improves security, reassures your visitors and means you won’t be affected by those "not secure" warnings Chrome 56 will soon display on some HTTP pages. Making the move isn’t always easy, unfortunately -- there’s a lot to consider. It’s not enough to deliver your main pages via HTTPS, for instance -- your other content (scripts, CSS files etc) should also be protected. If it isn’t, your visitors may see warnings, or the content could be blocked, perhaps breaking your site. HTTPS Checker is a service and desktop application which makes it easy to detect various… [Continue Reading]

WhySoSlow 1.0 checks your PC for performance issues

Publié: décembre 30, 2016, 5:52pm CET par Mike Williams

System utility developer Resplendence Software has released WhySoSlow 1.0, a "performance and responsiveness analyzer" for Windows 7 and later. The program’s analysis function monitors various performance indicators, including CPU clock speed, temperature and load; memory load; hard page faults; application responsiveness; latencies, BIOS interrupt delays and more. A simple report sums up the results and gives you a verdict on each area, highlighting any bottlenecks which might be slowing you down. Will this help? Maybe not. We were told that our maximum hard page fault rate was 50 per second, for instance. WhySoSlow said that was excellent, but could we… [Continue Reading]
Is a bug bounty program right for your company?

Publié: décembre 30, 2016, 12:55pm CET par Ryan O’Leary

Already an attractive option for a variety of consumer applications, crowd sourcing is now catching on in the corporate world. One emerging area of crowd sourcing is bug bounty programs. These are rewards offered by organizations to security researchers or whitehat hackers, who receive recognition and financial compensation for finding and reporting bugs, exploits and vulnerabilities in the organizations’ websites and applications.
