Hello friends,one day before the pvg webmaker party 2014,MOZILLA NASHIK COMMUNITY organize the online meet on the etherpad & our senior member Ankit Gadgil ,Mayur Patil motivated the new FSA & assign them each task.

              

Then the 12^th july 2014 had finally arrived for which I had been waiting so long.It was my first major webmaker party. Previously I had conducted the training session of webmaker workshop event. So I was very exited to this webmaker party.

• This event was aimed as to start of maker party 2014 in nashik,India for engineering college students & this was creating a new class of people who live in what can be called as “information poverty”even as technology becomes cheaper & cheaper. As Nashik is undeveloped IT-sector,so its very important to create the opensource,technical environment in the minds of students,people. Theirfore to destroy the barrier MOZILLA NASHIK COMMUNITY need to create the opensource & technical alertness among the nashikars about the opensource. 
  
  
  

• The event started sharply at 10.00 a.m. as it was planned the one day before at the online meet.then the event is started by a small introduction regarding internet & Mozilla which was represented by mayur patil.
  
  
  
• Then after Ankit gave the short introduction FOSS,OPEN-SOURCE & its importants. It was really nice.
  
  
  
• Then afterwards the session continued by introduction to internet & FSA by vishal & Omkar respectively.
  
  
  

Then Aanand,Vishal,Diwanshi,Mayur gives the introduction of all the tools provided by Mozilla for webdevelopment.also they also show the small-small demo of each tool respectively stepwise.

The plan as Follow-

• X-Ray goggles- Ronit-(lead Aanand)
• Popcorn maker-Kaustubh-(lead Vishal)
• Thimble-Rohan-(lead Diwanshi)
• Appmaker-Omkar/kunal-(lead Mayur)

After the introduction all the students were distributed to the various booths were they could try out various tools.although it was my first major event I did not fear to take responsibility. I acted as an assistant of omkar who was teaching the Appmaker to students . I learned so many things working under the omkar.& mayur.

There are so many students interested in the webmaker tools & they asked the various question to assistant & leader,but our leader also solved their question about webmaker tools.

Finally There are so many crowd at the pvg & many students attended the PVG webmaker party 2014.

What is Firewall -Introduction to Firewall?

What is Firewall -Introduction to Firewall?

Introduction to firewalls-
   When you use internet in your college/school/offfice , You may not be access some websites, right? Do you know how they block those websites? They use firewalls for block websites. Firewall prevent the system from hackers attack. Lets us see what is firewall. 

What is Firewall?
    -->  Firewall is working like a security guard standing outside the office. Usually, What the security guard do? He will allow those who has identity card and block those who has not the identity card. Right? Likewise, The firewall will block unauthorized access to the system.
   --->Firewall may be a software or hardware. It will work based on the set of rules defined by the administrator. Using Firewall administrator can block certain website from being accessed. 

• All traffic from inside and outside of the network must pass through the firewall.
• Only authorized trafic will be allowed to pass (based on the set of rules)

Types of Fire Walls

•  Packet Filtering
•  Appliction level gate way
•  Circuit level gate way.

Packet Filtering (Network Layer)
   -->A packet filtering router applies a set of rules to each incoming IP packet and then forwards or discards the packets. 

   -->Router is configured such that it can filter incoming and outgoing packets.

   --> The packets will filtered based on the source and destination IP address.
   -->IP spoofing attack is possible in this packet filtering. IP spoofing can be achieved by changing the source IP address of packets. 

  Stateful Inspection Firewalls
  -->A stateful inspection packet filters tightens the rules of TCP traffic by creating a state table of out bound TCP connection.
  --> If the packet matches with existing connection based on the state table, it will be allowed. If it does not match, It will be evaluted according to the rule set for new connections.

Aplictaion Level Gateway
   -->Application level gateway is also known as proxy server. 
   -->The gateway asks the user for the name of the remote host to be connected. When the user enters valid user ID, gateway will give access to the remote application. This will block the malicious activity and correct the application behavior. This will ensure the safety of company. 
   -->More secure than packet filtering. Easy to log and audit all incoming traffic at the application level.                  -->Application-level filtering may include protection against spam and viruses as well, and be able to block undesirable Web sites based on content rather than just their IP address.

Circuit Level Gateway
-->The circuit level gateway works at session layer of OSI model.

-->Traffic is filtered based on the session rules. Circuit-level firewalls hide the network itself from the outside, which is useful for denying access to intruders. But they don't filter individual packets.

--> This firewall is used when the administrator trusts internal users. 

Why Firewall?

•  Firewall block unauthorized users, prohibits vulnerable services from entering or leaving the network.
• Protection from IP spoofing and routing attacks.
•  Protection against Remote login, Trojan backdoors, Session hijacking, cookie stealing,etc.

Limitation of Firewalls

• The firewall cannot protect against attacks that by pass the firewall.
• The firewall does not protect against internal threats
• The firewall cannot protect against the transfer of virus infected progams (or) files. It would be impossible for the firewall to scan all incoming files, emails for viruses

How to see saved password in Mozilla firefox?

  

  -->This is not hacking article(not at all).  However, i would say it is kind of trick that most of us not aware of.  Using this trick, you can just view the "saved passwords" in the mozilla firefox.

    -->You remember the "Remember password" which will be asked by Firefox whenever you successfully logged into a website?! If someone accept it, then the password will be stored locally in the firefox.  What we are going to do is get that password.

    -->Let's say you are visiting a public Internet cafe or your friend's system , you can just the follow the following steps and view the saved passwords.

STEPS- 

1. click the "Tools" option in menu bar.
