MACHINE INTELLIGENCE

Yes Machines Can Get Whip-Smart !

Why can’t they? When we all know nothing is impossible. Mankind has come across a long way, the journey from stone and bronze to Iron Age is no less than a marvel. Today we are in digital age and slowly we are actually moving into the world of machines, the era of ‘Artificial Intelligence’.



The phase where machines will evolve smarter, much advanced to make their own choice & decisions. We have witnessed how computers and phones have got smarter with time. We humans have senses that add to our intelligence, we have eyes to see, ears to hear, mouth to speak skin to feel, nose to smell legs and hands to work etc. When all these senses comprised together are fed into an artificial object it too can have the future where it will stand side by side to human capabilities matching intelligence of its generator.

In fact if we look around we will realize lots of intelligent objects around us. We have Siri, Google Now & Cortana as our virtual assistants. These are intelligent digital platforms which responds to our voice. There are smart cars by Google and Tesla driving automatically just like human’s drive, by continuous learning exposure provided to them. There are security surveillance scanners that can take inputs from cameras and determine whether there may be a threat all these through supervised training experiences that are given to these devices which makes them intelligent.
In past few days Facebook was making headlines for shutting down its robots as they invented their own means of communicating language similar to English. But later as stated by their team they had made some errors by not feeding them with human comprehensible set and rules of linguistics which made their conversations with each other look creepy. But who knows just like a new born baby who gains intelligence watching and learning every day to become more mature to take his own decision ahead can be a scenario cannot be looked down or ignored for machines, what may seem like dumb and immature at the beginning can grow into artificial super power in the future.

“Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence - in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement - wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league.”

SATANA RANSOMWARE

Image
SATANA Trojan encrypts files and corrupts windows Master Boot Record (MBR) thus blocking the Windows boot process. SATANA behaves quite similarly like the notorious PetyaRansomware . Image Source To encrypt PC files, PETYA relies on the help of a tagalong Trojan called Mischa, while SATANA manages tasks on its own. Once the ransomware start running it disappears, and hides under a different name in the %TEMP% folder. Then after it will always prompt the user to download a malicious file until they click yes. Once the action starts, the malicious code will be written to the beginning of disk. After it installs and runs its malicious code, SATANA then waits for the computer to reboot. But the system won’t start instead it will show a screen with the ransom note, like most ransomware.

CRYPTOVIROLOGY

Image
Cryptovirology is a field that studies and researches about various ways by which cryptography application can be used to design malicious software's. It investigates how modern cryptographic paradigms and tools can be used to strengthen, improve and develop new malicious software's for malware attacks. Cryptovirology is a forward engineering discipline that is primarily used for attacking rather defending. This field emerged with an observation that a public-key cryptography can be used to break the symmetry between what an antivirus analyst sees regarding a malware and what attacker observes. Antivirus analyst observes a public key contained in the malware whereas an attacker sees the public key contained in the malware as well as its corresponding private key outside the malware. This public key allows the malware to perform trapdoor function on victim's computer that attacker can only undo.
