Spotting a phishing (hacker) email

Image
  How to spot a phishing email A phishing email is an email which looks legitimate but which tricks you into clicking a dangerous link or giving over your credentials to login to other systems like social media or banks. Many people receive phishing emails. They are sometimes convincing.  General properties They look convincing You feel a sense of urgency to deal with the email due to the implied problem They do not actually come from the system in question even though they say they do  Their email layout looks like the normal system email layout that you might get from the true system (e.g. your bank or facebook or whatever), but there are telltale signs that it is not from that system. They might have attachments, e.g. a fake bank statement, or fake password reset. In this post I will show you a few mails, starting with a fake Facebook password reset email. If we look at the above, we will see how to (A) detect that it is not actually from the real system, and (B) how t...

Building an OR gate

Image
In this post we see how to build a logic OR gate. It's actually really simple to understand. Let's take a case where you want your car windows to wind up automatically, if either the engine is stopped OR the door is open (realistically you might not want that, but this is just a thought experiment). We are looking at two states: engine running (true/false) and door open (true/false). Using "1" for "true" and "0" for false, we want the window to wind up if either or both are true. So this is the truth table (v = OR): Engine on v Door closed = wind up Engine off v Door open = wind up Engine off v Door open = do not wind up Engine on v Door open = wind up 1 v 0 = 1 0 v 1 = 1 0 v 0 = 0 1 v 1 = 1 This also corresponds directly to English. "If my car door is open OR the engine is running, wind up the window, otherwise do not." Here's the actual circuit and a video.

Building an AND-gate (logic flow/logic gate)

Image
 In this post we see how to build a logic AND gate. It's actually really simple to understand. Say you have a car door and a car ignition. On the car door you have a magnetic switch that lets a wire spring back to closed mode when the door is open. Ignition has electricity through it when the engine is on. SO you have live current in both scenarios, right? Call that state 1 and 1 Now consider a state where either the ignition is off AND the door is open, OR the door is closed AND the ignition is off. Call that state 0 and 1 or 1 and 0 (1=open/on, 0 = closed/off). Now suppose you want the interior head light in the car to turn on when the door is open and the ignition is on. You put a lightbulb on a wire. Then leading to that set of wiring you have this thing I made = an "and gate". You have electricity from the door and engine going there. The and gate does this: engine on , door open = 1 and 1 = true. Electricity must go to the light above your head. engine off, door ope...
