For one reason or another you may occasionally
came across the time that the need to use
cyber computers is must, may be its an
emergency or perhaps the opportunity is just
too convenient to pass up but whatever the
case may be, one has to be very careful
because sometimes using public computer is
just like exposing your personal data to
attacker’s, so here is a safety cautions you need
to do when you found yourself in such a
situation like that.
Things to be aware of
Bypassing Keylogger
A keylogger can be either a piece of software
or a small hardware device that is used to
capture the keystrokes that are typed on the
keyboard, many cyber cafe use keylogger on
their systems based on reason known to them,
so first when you found yourself at that
situation like that please use the below tips.
A virtual keyboard (on-screen keyboard)is a
program that shows a keyboard on the screen,
and the keys can be ‘pressed’ by using a mouse.
So you can use it to bypass keylogger. Press
Win+R and when it popup then type “osk” and
hit enter
Don’t Use this Feature
“Remember password” is a pop-up dialog which
will be asked by almost any browser, whenever
you successfully logged into a website or trying
to! If you accept it, then the password will be
stored locally in your browser, i think it might be
smart idea not to use this feature in public cafe,
but if you like so, make sure you clean up
everything before leaving the cafe.
Lunch your Chrome browser and type this
“chrome://settings/passwords” without quotes
and then trash them out
Likewise Mozilla paste this in the address bar
“about:preferences#security” without quotation
and then wipe them out
Watch out for Cookies
Cookies can be used to auto login as they hold
information about the account, the moment you
fill a form or log in or the moment you surf
web, the time cookies pack them and
automatically save them. It’s wise idea to clean
it up.
For Chrome user simply type “chrome://chrome/
settings/content” into your address bar without
quotation and Chrome will take you to your
intended destination.
If its Firefox, Go to address bar and type
“about:preferences#privacy” without quotation
and the click on Remove individual cookies from
the interface.
Clean Up Browsing History
This is capable of recording any site you visit the
moment you kick off, anyone can use that
history when you’ve gone, so here, trashing
them is necessary.
For Firefox user Just simple hold the following
keys Ctrl+H or set the Firefox automatically to
delete history on exist and the same thing goes
to Chrome.
Use it Wisely
Most important, remember that there is nothing
you can do to make a public computer
completely secure, so to prevent such casual
spying we recommend you to enable private
tab before browsing this is a fairly advanced
option.
When you are on the Firefox browser
environment simply press Crtl+Shift+P and you’re
on the private browser.
While if its Chrome, just press Crtl+Shift+N and
then you are on the go
Its good to use common sense and use public
computers only for non-sensitive tasks. Security
is one of the most frequently discussed topics in
the data center services world. But why is
security so important. The importance of security
is hard to overstate. But in taking a closer look
at why security is so important, it becomes clear
why so many companies invest so many
resources into keeping their facilities and data
secure.
