Lollipop 5.1.1 failed to satisfy the users due to battery issues and therefore it this attracted the customers and measured bad reviews. Besides, lollipop 5.0 made it successful due to the new user interface and new material design to the mobile screen.

which is faster

App permissions: Marshmallow serves you an integrated level of app permission that was not served by the lollipop. Lollipop users tend to switch to app permission from Google play store when downloading stuffs. This drawback is successfully eroded by the marshmallow version of android.

Battery life: Android lollipop and android marshmallow both served the purpose of battery function. But, marshmallow gave us a wider return when talking about the results. Marshmallow served us a new battery saving function known as “DOZE” which uses the device motion sensors to detect that Smartphone is being used or not. If not then the set will go to the deep stand by state. Battery life is just double the android lollipop version in marshmallow.

Finger print sensors: With the invention of the marshmallow, Google has provided a platform for the fingerprint sensors. This proved as a boom for smart phones as before the invention of marshmallow each manufacturer has its own software solution implemented. This was a huge step therefore.

Android pay: Here Google has provided with the secure mobile payment. It does save you credit card number but, it lets you create a virtual number for each payment method to ensure your dates are always protected.

Usb type – c:
In marshmallow, Google has supported you with the new function of usb standard- usb type- c. Now usb connector can be used in either direction inside the unit. And is able to charge any other devices too.

Some other improvements include:

App drawer: This unique function of marshmallow makes easier to find your app. There lays a bar with the top containing your four recently used applications and an alphabetical scroll on the left hand margin. You will also find a search function in that top right corner.

Ram manger: here Android lollipop gives detailed information about the amount of ram each app uses. The marshmallow gives you the two fields which displays the maximum and minimum ram used by the app.

conclusion
The comparison shown above clearly showed about the improvements provided to the marshmallow is far better than lollipop version. Various improvements were carried away for the kitkat and lollipop versions too. But it’s not possible for Google to launch new features every year. Therefore the commandments are often adorable.

What is Ethical Hacking – Some Important Issues Covered https://halwits.com/what-is-ethical-hacking-some-important-issues-covered/ https://halwits.com/what-is-ethical-hacking-some-important-issues-covered/#respond Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:29:32 +0000 http://www.halwits.com/new2/?p=286 It is not an unusual topic which I am going to discuss with my readers.

Internet is full of write-ups about this topic. Yes, it is ethical hacking.

Ethical HackerI got the inspiration to write about this topic when on entering my password many times I could not reach to the FB home page. Is my password “hacked”. This was the very first question that came in my mind. But then I thought how it can be hacked when the multinational technology giant is spending so much on its security. What I mean to say is?

If someone is investing so much amount of money in research and development generally it cannot compromise with the security of their systems.

At this point we need to understand who a hacker is.

A hacker is someone who uses programming skills to get illegal access to a computer network or file. There are different hacking specialists. The one who knows an algorithm very well is an algorithm hacker. A system hacker is very good at designing and maintenance of operating systems. The most interesting one is “password hacker” who is proficient in finding out someone else’s password.

A hacker can be paid or unpaid but companies are hiring “ethical hackers” at fat salary who can save their system from getting cracked. An ethical hacker is a computer programming expert or at least intelligent enough to understand the loop holes of a system. He is supposed to help a company or individual in finding out the weak points in the security of any network or system. An ethical hacker researches well, finds the weak points and tell them to the organizations top management. Then the higher authorities use that information to strengthen their system’s security.

If you are an ethical hacker then you are expected to obey the following rules:

Make sure you have got the written consent from the organization to explore the network.

You have got a great respect for the privacy of the company or individual for which you are working. That means you are just interested in the security issues.

If you have found any weakness you are going to report it to the company itself not to someone else. Here the “company” could be software developer or hardware manufacturer which is not aware of the glitch in their software or hardware.

Thus, we see that an ethical hacker is a computer expert who attacks a security system with the consent of its owners. The difference between a malicious hacker and an ethical hacker is that an ethical hacker will report problems and glitches instead of taking advantage of them.

There are many terms provided by the English vocabulary for ethical hacking. They are “penetration testing”, “red teaming” and “intrusion testing”.

If you have an interest in “ethical hacking” then there is good news for you. You can also become a Certified Ethical hacker by clearing the certification exam provided by International Council of E-Commerce.
