BitCoin History (What You Need To Know)

He is said to be from Japan but his mail ID was from Germany, plus the bitcoin software was not available
in Japanese. He developed the system and the Bitcoin software (that is used to run the system) in 2009 but disappeared into thin air in 2010. The other developers of the system stopped hearing from him in 2010, and plenty of speculation turned up about his real identity. Some even suggested that his name was just a mashup of popular Japanese companies — SAmsung TOSHIba NAKAmichi MOTOrola. But what he created was definitely the fantasy of every tech guy in the world.
2007, Satoshi Nakamoto
According to legend, Satoshi Nakamoto began working on the Bitcoin concept in 2007. While he is on record as living in Japan, it is speculated that Nakamoto may be a collective pseudonym for more than one person.
August 2008, An interesting patent application
Three individuals, Neal Kin, Vladimir Oksman, and Charles Bry file an application for an encryption patent application. All three individuals deny having any connection to Satoshi Nakamoto, the alleged originat or of the Bitcoin concept. The three also register the site Bitcoin.org in the same month, over on anonymousspeech.com – which allows people to buy domain names anonymously.
October 2008, The White paper is published
Despite the above, Satoshi Nakamoto releases his white paper, revealing his idea for a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash to the world. In his vision, he manages to solve the problem of money being copied, providing a vital foundation for Bitcoin to grow legitimately.

promise, particularly if the innovations promote a faster, more secure and more efficient payment system”.
December 2013, China's Central Bank bans Bitcoin transactions
China’s central bank bars financial institutions from handling bitcoin transactions. This ban was issued after
the People’s Bank of China said bitcoin is not a currency with “real meaning” and does not have the same

stability. Today China remains the world’s biggest bitcoin trader, with 80% of global bitcoin transactions
being processed in China.
January 2014, First insured bitcoin storage service
Bitcoin custodians Elliptic launch the world’s first insured bitcoin storage service for institutional clients.
All deposits are comprehensively insured by a Fortune 100 insurer and held in full reserve. This means
Elliptic never re-invests client assets; instead they secure them in deep cold storage. Overstock.com
becomes the first major online retailer to embrace bitcoin, accepting payments in the US. Overstock was
the first in what is now an expeditiously growing list of large businesses that accept bitcoin.
February 2014, HMRC classifies bitcoin as assets
HMRC classifies bitcoin as assets or private money, meaning that no VAT will be charged on the mining
or exchange of bitcoin. This is important as it is the world’s first and most progressive treatment of bitcoin,
positioning the UK government as the most forward thinking and comprehensive with regard to bitcoin
taxation.
June 2014, The illegal online marketplace
The US government auctions off more than 29,000 bitcoins seized from the Silk Road, the illegal online
marketplace. The sale and closure of the marketplace marks growing institutional understanding of the
potential use cases of bitcoin. Additionally, the closure and auction of the Silk Road has helped bitcoin gain
legitimacy as it demonstrates that bitcoin is not an easy way for online criminals to avoid the rule of law.
From this point onwards bitcoin can no longer be considered as a currency for criminals. The use of the
bitcoin blockchain means that the identity of users can often be established.
July 2014, Bit Licence’
The ‘Bit Licence’ edges towards reality as the New York State Department of Financial Services releases
the first draft of the agency’s proposed rules for regulating virtual currencies. The European Banking
Authority publishes its opinion on ‘virtual currencies’. Their analytical report recommends that EU
legislators consider declaring virtual currency exchanges as ‘obliged entities’ must comply with anti-money
laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing requirements.
The EBA report is important as it acts as a catalyst to launch bitcoin into the financial mainstream by
highlighting the fact that virtual currencies require a regulatory approach to strive for an international
coordination to achieve a successful regulatory regime. Also that month GABI (Global Advisors Bitcoin
Investment Fund) launches the world’s first regulated Bitcoin Investment fund. This is important to the
bitcoin ecosystem as the launch of this investment vehicle adds further legitimacy to bitcoin in addition to
allowing regulated investors a way to invest in bitcoin.
August 2014, HM Treasury’s positive outlook on bitcoin
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, demonstrates his and HM Treasury’s positive outlook
on bitcoin when he purchases £20 worth of bitcoin and announces HM Treasury’s Call for Information on
digital currencies, offering digital currency businesses the chance to comment on the risks and benefits and
potentially influence future government policy.
October 2014, TeraExchange
TeraExchange announces that the first bitcoin derivative transaction was executed on a regulated
exchange, adding a new hedging instrument to bitcoin and instilling credibility and institutional
confidence in the entire bitcoin community.
December 2014, Microsoft accept bitcoin
Tech giant Microsoft begins accepting bitcoin payments.
January 2015, NYSE
The New York Stock Exchange is a minority investor in Coinbase’s $75M funding round. The NYSE aims
to tap into the new asset class by bringing transparency, security and confidence to bitcoin.
March 2015, UK Treasury’s call
The results of the UK Treasury’s call for information on digital currency are announced.
Future predictions
There are several possible ways Bitcoin can go at this point, all of which point to a legitimate, widespread
adoption by large institutions through tighter regulation. Recently, New York’s BitLicense became the
world’s first digital currency-specific regulatory regime. It has been through a couple of rounds of
consultations and is expected to come into force in a couple of weeks.
The European Central Bank and European Banking authority have both released detailed reports on digital
currencies, and suggested regulation of the industry by the EU to further control price fluctuations. The
Winklevoss brothers, they of Facebook fame, are on the verge of launching their own exchange-traded fund
holding Bitcoins.
Bitcoin’s journey into the financial mainstream has already begun, with HM Treasury’s report on digital
currencies marking encouraging progress toward the predictions in this infographic. The report introduces
anti-money laundering, consumer protection and technical standardisation for digital currency companies
in the UK, which will encourage traditional financial services to engage more with digital currency
businesses and accelerate the integration of blockchain technology within financial services.

BitCoin (What You Need To Know)

Bitcoin is a new currency that was created in 2009 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto.
Transactions are made with no middle men – meaning, no banks! There are no transaction fees and no need
to give your real name. More merchants are beginning to accept them. You can buy webhosting services,
pizza or even m Buy on an Exchange. Bitcoins are stored in a “digital wallet,” which exists either in the
cloud or on a user’s computer. The wallet is a kind of virtual bank account that allows users to send or receive bitcoins, pay for goods or save their money. Unlike bank accounts, bitcoin wallets are not insured by the FDIC. Though each bitcoin transaction is recorded in a public log, names of buyers and sellers are never revealed – only their wallet IDs. While that keeps bitcoin users’ transactions private, it also lets them buy or sell anything without easily tracing it back to them. That’s why it has become the currency of choice for people online buying drugs or other illicit activities.

Exchange Bitcoins:
Several marketplaces called “bitcoin exchanges” allow people to buy or sell bitcoins using different currencies. Mt. Gox is the largest bitcoin exchange.anicures.
Transfer:
People can send bitcoins to each other using mobile apps or their computers. It’s similar to sending cash digitally.
Mining:
People compete to “mine” bitcoins using computers to solve complex math puzzles. This is how bitcoins are created. Currently, a winner is rewarded with 25 bitcoins roughly every 10 minutes.

Symbol:



Ƀ is not a logo but a symbol: Unicode Character U+0243 can be used any Unicode text editor. This unicode character was originally used as a phonetic symbol to represent or transcribe the sound [β]. Thus the context of this use does not allow any confusion with the Bitcoin currency.
Facts: The baht (sign: ฿; code: THB) is the currency of Thailand. Thailand’s population is 67 million people (vs. Bitcoin’s debated 1–4 million users) and they’re not really cool with the community trying to “steal” their sign.
Unit:     Unit Value in BTC
BTC                       1
mBTC                   0.001
uBTC                    0.000001
Satoshi                0.00000001

Cryptocurrency Technologies (What You Need To Known About Series 2)

What is Crypto Currency?
A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange like normal currencies such as USD, but designed for the
purpose of exchanging digital information through a process made possible by certain principles of
cryptography. Cryptography is used to secure the transactions and to control the creation of new coins.

Why Crypto Currency?
Money exists to facilitate trade. Through the centuries trade has become incredibly complex everyone trades
with everyone worldwide. Trade is recorded in book keeping, this information is often isolated in closed to
the public. This is the reason why we use third parties and middlemen we trust to facilitate and approve our
transactions. Think governments, banks, accountants, notaries and the paper money in your wallet. We call
these trusted third parties. Cryptocurrency software enables a network of computers to maintain a collective
bookkeeping via the internet. This bookkeeping is neither closed nor in control of one party or a central
authority. Rather, it is public, and available in one digital ledger which is fully distributed across the
network. We call this the blockchain. In the blockchain all the transactions are logged, including
information on the time, date, participants and amount of every single transaction. Each node in the network
owns a full copy of the blockchain.

On the basis of complicated state-of-the-art mathematical principles the
transactions are verified by the cryptocurrency miners, whom maintain the ledger. The mathematical
principles also ensure that these nodes automatically and continuously agree about the current state of the
ledger and every transaction in it. If anyone attempts to corrupt transaction the nodes will not arrive at a
consensus and hence will refuse to incorporate the transaction in the blockchain. So every transaction is
public and thousands of nodes unanimously agreed that a transaction has occurred on date X at time Y. It’s
almost like there’s a notary present at every transaction. This way everyone have access to a shared single
source of truth. The ledger does not care wetter a cryptocurrency represents a certain amount of Euros or
Dollars, or anything else of value, or property for that matter. Users can decide for themselves what a unit
of cryptocurrency represents. A cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is divisible in to 100 million units and each
unit is both individually identifiable and programmable. This means that users can assign properties to each
unit, users can program a unit to represent a Euro cent, or a share in a company, a kilowatt our energy or
digital certificate of ownership. Because of if this cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology could be
used for more than simply money and payments.

Cryptocurrency Technologies (What You Need To Known About)

As the word suggests, cryptocurrencies make heavy use of cryptography. Cryptography provides a
mechanism for securely encoding the rules of a cryptocurrency system in the system itself. We can
use it to prevent tampering and equivocation, as well as to encode the rules for creation of new units
of the currency into a mathematical protocol. Before we can properly understand cryptocurrencies
then, we’ll need to delve into the cryptographic foundations that they rely upon.

Cryptography is a deep academic research field utilizing many advanced mathematical techniques
that are notoriously subtle and complicated to understand.

Python (How to create a Host Checker) Complete Guide

Hello. Today we are going to make a Python up/down host checker "How to Make a Python host checker for Linux" that works on Linux only.

You are going to need:

– Python 3.4

– Internet Connection

– Computer with Windows or Linux

If you haven't got installed Python yet, download it from the following link:

https://www.python.org/downloads/

You can find some of the Python basics in my first tutorial at http://www.hacking-tutorial.com/hacking-tutorial/code-your-first-simple-sql-injection-checking-vulnerability-with-python/

Why Linux only?

We never recommend using 3rd party libraries, but, without them you cant normally ping on Windows. Like, if you use ping command on Linux, you get 1 if the host is up, and other numbers if it is down. That means, on Linux, when the ping target is not pinged successfully, the ping returns 1 (operation completed successfully), in another case, it gives you the error number. On Windows, this is more complicated. If you ping with ping command, you get operation completed successfully, even if the host is up or down. Howewer, I don’t think any of you actually use Windows for hacking.

Setting up

Before starting, please connect to the internet, and if you would have another computers up, that would be pretty nice. Get your local IPv4 address, think what ports do you want to scan.

Coding How to Make a Python host checker for Linux

Coding is the easy part. Begin from importing sys and socket, then, write the following code:

import os # Importing main libs

import sys

start = "" # Setting up variables

range1 = 0

range2 = 0

 

for carg in sys.argv: # Checking for arguments

    if carg == "-s":

        argnum = sys.argv.index(carg)

        argnum += 1

        start = sys.argv[argnum]

    elif carg == "-r1":

        argnum = sys.argv.index(carg)

        argnum += 1

        range1r = sys.argv[argnum]

        range1 = int(range1r)

    elif carg == "-r2":

        argnum = sys.argv.index(carg)

        argnum += 1

        range2r = sys.argv[argnum]

        range2 = int(range2r)

 

print ("[*] Host Scanner launched!") # Informs user about initialize

 

if start == "": # Checks if all the information is provided

    print ("[E] No host provided")

elif range1 == 0:

    print ("[E] No range1 provided")

elif range2 == 0:

    print ("[E] No range2 provided")

else:

    if range1 > range2:

        count = range1 - range2

    elif range1 < range2:

        count = range2 - range1

    for ccount in range(range1, range2): # Counts the IP range to ping

            target = start + "." + str(ccount)

            response = os.system("ping " + target + " 2>&1 >/dev/null") # Sets response to ping

            if response == 0: # Reads response, checks if it is 0

                err = 0 # sets err to 0

            else:

                err = 1 # sets err to 1

            if err == 0: # when err is equal to 0

                print ("[+] " + target + " is up!") # Informs user about hosts that are up

Code should look like this (comments are cut, do not worry):

So, that is pretty easy. The end perimeters in th ping command supresses the commands output. So, save the file, run it from terminal and test this out!

DNS Addressing (How to on Windows)

Introduction

 

   Information

This tutorial is to guide you, the user, in changing your DNS address to (hopefully) a better alternative.OpenDNS, one of said alternatives, will be used as our main example but there are many others out there. Now while OpenDNS is great, it isn't for everyone: The best way to find the best one for you is to consult the link in the tutorial for a list of alternatives and choose the best (testing one yourself first hand here is key).

OpenDNS is a free, powerful, and easy to use DNS alternative best suited for people in the US and London areas.

Here is a direct quote from their site:

Quote:

OpenDNS is the leading provider of free security and infrastructure services that make the Internet safer through integrated Web content filtering, anti-phishing and DNS. OpenDNS services enable consumers and network administrators to secure their networks from online threats, reduce costs and enforce Internet-use policies. OpenDNS is used today by millions of users and organizations around the world.

Now the question that you may ask is how this may benefit you? Well the default DNS server provided by ISPs tend to be slower than OpenDNS because of promotional offers included in said servers or the ISP doesn't have a good quality server to begin with (would Verizon please stand up?). This means that by using OpenDNS not only will your surfing be generally faster but any promotional offers that said ISP might try to spam you with or any phishing attacks will be blocked. To summarize, OpenDNS provides an all around better web experience PLUS its free so why not give it a try? Now with all good stories there are two sides. With the advantages that I have described, there are disadvantages. Now while I could myself describe what these are, I felt that a fellow member by the name of Charles Kane did it better than I could have with his scenario given. Please read this quote given and all credit goes to him for this part:

Quote:

1. Anyone can use OpenDNS safely.
2. Free optional registration with OpenDNS enables the control panel which allows you to use preset content filtering, whitelisting and blacklisting of websites.
3. OpenDNS claims surfing speed and stability improvements. Speed may be enhanced with the centralized caching of internet addresses. The benefits of this claim should be weighed against your location (OpenDNS has 8 servers in the US and one in London with one planned for Hong Kong), the quality of your own ISPs caching, and particularly whether your ISP is using any particular servers to provide improved speeds in the seving of content.

As an example, for an Australian, the OpenDNS resolvers are at least 12 hops away (roughly 200ms) and the local server a maximum 4 hops (about 40ms) so the benefits may be reduced. Speed improvements for sites cached by your ISPs servers, especially common sites, are likely to be insignificant as network latency dominates DNS resolution time. The Pacific Ocean is the problem.

High quality ISPs (such as many of those in Australia), especially those that provide additional benefits such as Akamai delivered content delivered from servers within the local network will also be a major consideration. Akamai delivered content may be particularly important with streaming video and audio and big downloads (including Microsoft Download and Microsoft Update).

OpenDNS may give the greatest benefits if you are with a crappy ISP, relatively close to OpenDNS servers, if you want the benefits of their user control panel (filtering), or mainly access addresses unlikely to be cached by your ISP. OpenDNS server provision in North America makes OpenDNS particularly attractive for North American users.

Now to setup OpenDNS (or your other alternative) is rather easy and can be accomplished in less than a couple of minutes...

 

   Tip

You may also elect to sign up for an account at their website. It is also free and you will able to customize web site filtering and ad management....quite a handy control panel for your internet browsing experience (especially businesses that need content control).

 

   Tip

If you feel that OpenDNS is not for you than please consult this comprehensive list PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall to find one near you! Just replace the numbers given here with the numbers given for your DNS server of choice from that page or anywhere else; these steps still apply.

Here's How:

1. Open the Control Panel.

2. Open up Network and Internet and go to the Network and Sharing Center.

3. Click on Change adapter settings on the left hand panel.

4. This will bring up a list of adapters present on your computer. Most people will have a Local Area Connection while laptop users will add a Wireless Network Connection and possibly a Bluetooth Network Connection...go ahead andright click on Local Area Connection and click on Properties.
NOTE: These steps do not change if you are modifying the Wireless Network Connection instead

5. If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.

6. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on properties.

7. In the properties window you will see a few radio boxes with both of them saying Obtain an IP/DNS Address Automatically....we will leave the IP address alone and will change the Obtain DNS....to use the following:

In the Preferred DNS server boxes enter this sequence: 208.67.222.222

In the Alternate DNS server boxes enter this sequence: 208.67.220.220

8. Check the validate settings upon exit (Optional) check box, click OK, and then Close to finish. (See screenshot above)

9. Windows will check your settings (if you checked the option above) and you will be finished! Now start surfing to feel the effects of a quicker and more secure browsing experience!

   Tip

For more info on OpenDNS don't hesitate to ask here or visit their website at OpenDNS | Providing A Safer And Faster Internet

 

   Tip

If you happen to be managing a network under a router, this tip will save you some time. If you change therouter's DNS settings instead of each computer on the network than as long as each computer is set toObtain a DNS Address Automatically, your choice of a DNS server will be applied to all the computers. Please consult the manual of your router or their respective website to do this.

Hope it helps,
