Smart City IoT Applications


Every year more number of peoples are moving into cities for better living standards & Livelihood. By 2050 it’s expected that 70 % of world population will be living in cities. This rapid rise in urbanization has already put the existing infrastructure in strain. So to accommodate this new demand cities are innovating new technologies such as Internet of things to enhance their services & communication.

 These IOT equipment and technologies enable us to be smarter and make various aspects of cities more accessible and applicable and smarter. There’s a huge potential for IoT in every aspects of urban living. Here are some of the most important applications we would like to see in smart cities.

Smart Public Transport:

Internet of Things can provide us with real time insights of whenever there is a road closure, breakdowns or bad weather. With the help of IoT transport authorities can ensure public have access to safe, reliable and efficient transport in the city.

Smart Water Supply:

With use of smart devices and sensors, it will be easy to detect leakage and prevent water loss. Smart water monitoring applications can inform residents about their consumption and usage of water supply. This will prevent loss due to inefficiency and will boost productivity.

Smart Pollution & Weather Monitoring System:


Installing Air & Weather Sensors all around the city in every pivotal locations will help to determine the pollution level around the city. These data can be shared with the residents using IoT based applications which will allow them to map out places to plan their day out.

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.

WANNACRY RANSOMWARE

ImageSource WannaCry One of the most prolific attacks ! WannaCry is an ongoing ransomware cyber attack, that holds your computer hostage until the  demanded ransom is paid. This Crypto Worm started its attack on 2017 May 12, and was reported to infect more than 2,30,000  PC in more than 150 countries. The malware attacks vulnerable operating systems running older v ersions of windows. Hackers used cyber tools stolen from the US National Security Agency to strike the attack. WannaCry encrypts and scrambles all the data in the infected computer, then the malware pops up with a screen displaying the ransom note and demanding fee payable in **Crypto Currency (BitCoins). The malware has now evolved into a new worm EternalRock, which does not have the “kill switch” like that of WannaCry.
