You can also filter according to SSID, channel, security, and other details. Within the app itself, you can see details of SSIDs and access points, including IP and MAC addresses and even the ISP to which they are connected. ![]() There’s a menu bar item that allows you to view the most important details without opening the app. WiFi Speed Test tools allows you to test the speed of your broadband connection as well as gather details on Wi-Fi networks within range. NetSpot supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax networks and 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. There’s also a pro version which adds several more features and access to more networks. ![]() The Home version allows you to see data on up to five networks and to group access points by SSID. Netspot also has a discovery mode that can identify all the networks within range of where your Mac is at that moment, even those with hidden SSIDs, and tell you the details of the signal from those networks to your Mac. When you’re done, you’ll have a color-coded map showing the strength of the signal, the signal-noise-ratio and the signal-to-interference ratio in each location on the plan. This allows you to upload a scale plan of your home or office (or draw one inside the app) and then create a heat map of Wi-Fi signals in different locations. Netspot’s unique selling point is its network survey tool. And it works with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax networks. Wifi Explorer supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, and 20, 40, 60, and 80MHz frequencies. There’s also a column in the table where you can add your own notes.

Wifi Explorer lists all the networks within range of your Mac and displays their SSID, MAC address, device manufacturer, signal strength and more. They identify dead spots in your home or office, where you just can’t get a Wi-Fi signal and also areas where there might be interference with a signal or where one access point has a stronger signal than another, causing your Mac to try and connect to that one rather than the one you want to connect to. It identifies the access points within range and assesses the strength of the signal between your Mac and the access point. It’s a piece of software that can scan your Wi-Fi network. Here, we’ll take a look at the best Wi-Fi analyzers available for Mac. These software tools scan your network and build a picture of signals and their strengths, allowing you to identify hotspots, and coldspots, signal interference, and more. And that’s where Wi-Fi analyzers come in. To get to the root of the problem and fix it properly, we need information about what’s going wrong and where. You can switch Wi-Fi on your device off then on again, or you can do the same with your Wi-Fi router or access point. When that happens, the options open to us are fairly basic. Most of us use Wi-Fi every day and don’t give it a second thought until it goes wrong or becomes slow.

![]() ![]() If it waits to encrypt until a file is ready for upload, it would be waiting unnecessarily, and it would probably be better to at cache at least a certain amount of data while waiting for a free upload slot. However, nowadays mobile apps are available for Android, iOS, and Windows phones. ![]() Its cloud storage is primarily designed to work as a web-based service, which means it is easy to store data online using the browser on any device. Of course, it could also (perhaps simultaneously) be something else related to small files-for example, I don’t know if the MEGA client encrypts in advance or whether, when one file finishes uploading, it only then starts to encrypt the next. MEGA is a popular secure cloud storage service that is currently used by approximately 150 million people. The reason this seems like it may be what happened in my case is, as mentioned, setting a static limit preserved a more consistent, and higher, average rate. If each upload indeed has a slow startup period, then it would explain the behaviour and the upload speed curve I saw: each upload started very slow, moved up to a decent speed, then fell off as it completed. Click Keep if you get a This type of file can harm your computer warning. Under the Platforms menu select MEGA Desktop App. I happened to be uploading a substantial number of rather small files. To download the MEGAsync package to your Raspberry Pi OS desktop: Visit the MEGA Desktop App website. Suppose that it throttles the bandwidth of a file-or at any rate does some extra stuff with it for the first ten seconds of an upload, and then continues at a good clip. I haven’t looked at the source code, so I am simply speculating here. In fact, I was experiencing very annoying, extremely slow uploads, and changing to a fixed upload rate limit made it much better. ![]() If this is strictly true, and if it also applies to the desktop app (of which I’m using the Linux version), this may explain some upload speed problems-and it may be a problem. MEGA provides user-controlled encrypted cloud storage that’s accessed with web browsers and dedicated apps for mobile devices. But I have multiple synced folders of markdown files, (tiny text files) which are being sonstantly updated during the day. We therefore offer an automatic speed management option, where we measure your available outbound bandwidth during the initial ten seconds of an upload, and then keep at least 10% of it unused. I dont download and store mega files for gaming, etc, so I dont know how good it is for that. Many routers deprioritize smaller packets in case of network congestion, resulting in your inbound traffic being severely affected when your network outbound bandwidth runs full. The web client help describes the Auto upload speed as ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And just last week, a similar-but less serious-problem hit Python developers, when the Slovakian government warned that a Python code repository known as Python Package Index, or PyPI, had been loaded with malicious code. ![]() Those tools injected malicious code known as XcodeGhost into 39 iOS apps, many of which passed Apple's App Store review, resulting in the largest-ever outbreak of iOS malware. In late 2015, hackers distributed a fake version of the Apple developer tool Xcode on sites frequented by Chinese developers. In some recent cases, hackers have moved yet another link up the chain, attacking not just software companies instead of consumers, but the development tools used by those companies' programmers. It punishes good behavior.' -Craig Williams, Cisco Talos 'People trust companies, and when they're compromised like this it really breaks that trust. ![]() "Given the opportunities for reach and data collection it gives to the attackers, most likely it will be reproduced again and again with some other widely used software component." (Kaspersky itself is dealing with its own software trust problem: The Department of Homeland Security has banned its use in US government agencies, and retail giant Best Buy has pulled its software from shelves, due to suspicions that it too could be abused by Kaspersky's suspected associates in the Russian government.) “ShadowPad is an example of how dangerous and wide-scale a successful supply-chain attack can be," Kaspersky analyst Igor Soumenkov wrote at the time. One month later, researchers at Russian security firm Kaspersky discovered another supply chain attack they called "Shadowpad": Hackers had smuggled a backdoor capable of downloading malware into hundreds of banks, energy, and drug companies via corrupted software distributed by the South Korea-based firm Netsarang, which sells enterprise and network management tools. Three times in the last three months, hackers have exploited the digital supply chain to plant tainted code that hides in software companies' own systems of installation and updates, hijacking those trusted channels to stealthily spread their malicious code. It's also an increasingly common incident. That attack betrayed basic consumer trust in CCleaner-developer Avast, and software firms more broadly, by lacing a legitimate program with malware-one distributed by a security company, no less. On Monday, Cisco's Talos security research division revealed that hackers sabotaged the ultra-popular, free computer-cleanup tool CCleaner for at least the last month, inserting a backdoor into updates to the application that landed in millions of personal computers. But lately, devious hackers have been targeting their attacks further up the software supply chain, sneaking malware into downloads from even trusted vendors, long before you ever click to install. Only install applications from a trusted source or from a trusted app store. The warnings consumers hear from information security pros tend to focus on trust: Don't click web links or attachments from an untrusted sender. ![]() ![]() It may be prudent to liquidate/hedge outward remittances on any slide towards 99.20 levels by buying GBP currency against INR. Likely range would be 99.10-103.10 with choppy moves on either side. The pair is expected to break this barrier and head north. The currency pair is facing strong resistance at 102.10 levels. Current exchange rate of GBPINR is 101.32. It made an attempt towards 102 for the second time closed at 101.32. The GBPINR foreign currency pair broke the downward sloping trend channel after nearly 14 weeks. From a remittance perspective it would be prudent to book any outward remittances on slide towards 87.80 levels and the inward remittances by selling EUR currency against INR around 90.20 or higher if seen. It is prudent to look for key levels to hedge the risk. Any breach of the range would lead to 100 pips move. Likely to undergo consolidation phase between 87.80 & 90.20.

![]() ![]() ![]() In this sample, the IoC container I have used is StructureMap. There are other IoC frameworks out there, evaluate and use one based on your requirement. This topic is not about specific Ioc, rather how you can use IoC to provide a pluggable design, and it is not just limited to addressing cross cutting concerns, rather the concept can be applied to any part of the application. Using the Codeīelow is the code structure for the cache sample: This sample uses Memcached Server, MemcachedClient and ASP.NET cache. For demo purposes, this interface provides three basic operations SetItem, GetItem and RemoveItem. We have two implementations of this ICache interface, one named CacheDataProviders.Memcached and the other named CacheDataProviders.AspNet.ĪspNetCacheProvider implementation of the Icache interface:Ĭopy Code public class MemCacheProvider : Providers.Microsoft's ASP.Net Core has already become a popular way to build high-performance, modern web applications that can run on Windows, Linux, or MacOS. One way it supports high performance of course is caching. Although ASP.Net Core doesn’t have an in-built Cache object, it provides support for several different types of caching including in-memory caching, distributed caching, and response caching. In previous articles I discussed how to use in-memory caching in ASP.Net Core and how to implement a distributed cache in ASP.Net Core. In this post, I will explain response caching and its benefits and then examine how we can work with the response caching middleware provided in ASP.Net Core. Response caching refers to the ability to cache web server responses using cache-related headers in the HTTP response objects. Such headers are used to specify how to cache the responses for either all requests or a few selected requests. Note that unlike output caching, response caching in ASP.Net Core doesn’t cache the responses in the memory of the web server. Response caching in ASP.Net Core is actually a better and extensible form of output caching. It is used to inform the web browser to cache content by specifying cache-related headers on HTTP responses. This can significantly reduce the number of requests a client makes to the web server, and significantly reduce latency, as subsequent requests can be served from the client’s cache. ![]() “He has experience winning at the highest level, he’s a tenacious recruiter and has the exceptional ability to connect with people.

Stop and Go Driving School recommends a minimum of 100 hours of training and practice to be safe and defensive behind the wheel. To be qualified for a driver license, the MVD requires you have completed at least 30 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice (20 hours of daytime driving and 10 hours of nighttime driving). If you’ll be taking the test using a car you don’t usually drive, make sure you’re familiar with that car: Do you know how to adjust the mirrors, start the car, change gears, and so on? Tip #4: Practice, practice, practice You’ll also need to supply proof of valid registration and current liability insurance provided in the United States. The test administrator will give your vehicle a once-over and you’ll need to show that there are no major cracks in the windshield, that you have properly inflated tires, working windshield wipers, horn, doors, and seatbelts, as well as fully operational turn signals, brake lights, headlights, and taillights. You will take the test in your own vehicle, which must be in good operating condition.

If things don’t go to plan – and if it’s your first time installing a VPN on a router, something may well go wrong – ExpressVPN has class-leading 24/7 live-chat support which is pretty much indispensable when undergoing an in-depth process like this. One big benefit of using a compatible router, though, is the fact you can set up split tunnelling – that means you can choose which devices use the VPN connections and which don’t. However, if you don’t have a compatible router, you can still install a VPN connection manually on a host of other routers. Highly recommended if you're looking for a long-term router solution. Preloaded with ExpressVPN software and ready to use in five minutes, it's quite simply the easiest way of getting a VPN on a router. The very best way of getting ExpressVPN up and running on a router, though, is to buy Express's own Aircove router (opens in new tab). Essentially, that means you can control the router VPN from ExpressVPN’s own easy-to-use dashboard rather than delving into your router’s settings. Unlike a number of other options further down this list, ExpressVPN offers its own custom router firmware you can use on a wide range of compatible routers. Not only does it deliver the best service for regular devices, the British Virgin Islands-based firm also offers the easiest and most effective way of installing a router VPN. It’s easily our first choice when it comes to router VPNs, but there are a few other options that you’ll find below.ĮxpressVPN just about has it all. It has a dedicated website for setting up your router VPN, and apps specifically designed to get your router protected quickly. However, some VPN services have made the process far simpler than expected – one of which being ExpressVPN. A company called FlashRouters does provide a very useful router setup service, plus a great app that makes things a lot easier – but it's expensive. Any alterations will have to be done through your router’s dashboard on a PC, some of which are still very basic and difficult to use. The other problem is that it’s more difficult to change your VPN’s settings because your router doesn’t have a screen or interface. There are also some other options, including Tomato. You’ll have to either buy a new router that does, or install DD-WRT firmware to allow you to manually set up a VPN connection – a list of DD-WRT-compatible routers is here (opens in new tab). And, as you'll notice in the next couple of paragraphs, it can get a bit confusing. The biggest drawback is that you may well discover that your current router can’t support your chosen VPN’s dedicated router VPN app, if it has one at all.

That includes Smart TVs and Apple TV, games consoles, Roku, and many others, and means you’ll be able to access blocked streaming content and stay anonymous on any device attached to your Wi-Fi connection. Your traffic is encrypted in the process, meaning you’ll be able to surf in peace, knowing that no one can see or track your activity.īut why would you want one on your router? Most commonly, router VPNs are used so that a VPN-protected connection can be used by devices that can’t have a VPN installed directly.
