Hi Guys lets have a serious talk about this topic you will be answered for the following questions-
1- Is it safe using hacked/cracked Microsoft Windows 8 for me?
2- Is i am risking my privacy using such cracked versions of Windows?
3- Why Windows 8 is hard to crack and why we can't patch its Windows Authentication Remover Program yourself (like we did in windows 7)?
4- Windows has all new in built anti virus name Windows Defender which also a big headache for black hat hackers!
i will be explaining all these point above with there respective solutions sit tight :) ok without taking any further sec. lets get started
well while reading this answer you will get all thing clear regarding to other questions too.
1-Is it safe using hacked/cracked Microsoft Windows 8 for me?
Answer is No because by using such cracked version of windows8 operating system you are simply putting your system security at risk. to understand why we have to get to the main logic behind the availability of such version's online free of costs all over the #Internet and other media.
In the world of security evaluation and analysis which includes both good and bad hackers they all do same job that is as the new software comes in light either online means laucnched or trial version/evaluation version come in market they all get it try there debugging skill and tries to find security hole in the core architactural programming of the software(software here means any software system operating system or application software)
so as they got to a point that it is almost impossible to hack windows 8 because of its advance kernel they tried a different technique and that was to stop windows to run windows 8 genuine program and give full access of the system and operating system functionality to the user, to do that they developed a small software package for window 8 professional and for other releases too with there own exploit and released that with iso of windows 8 online free of cost. which you might have downloaded and cracked the windows by running that simple program after installing windows 8 on your system.
so here we are- you think that bad hacker did this so that you can means everyone can get windows 8 free of cost but the actual reason behind cracking windows 8 version was to create a security hole in the firewall of windows 8. as i told you before that windows 8 has a inbuilt anti virus programmed but this was not a big issue for hacker to bypass that anti virus program the real problem arise when they came to know that the inbuilt antivirus of windows 8 has been programmed in the kernel of windows 8 itself.
well that is why it was almost impossible for hacker to bypass the security protocols of Winodws 8, they decided that if there can't find the hole in security of windows 8 then they will create hole.
yes you got it that cracking program is the tool to create security holes in your system.
i hope now you have got your answer why you are putting your online and system security at risk by using those free cracked windows 8 available online. My Advise to those who are using such cracked versions of Windows8
Do not put your and your company's secuirty at risk by using such no authentic and pirated copy of operating system. if you can then buy a genuine version from Microsoft site or if you are not willing to pay couple of hundred bucks for it then migrate towards the free software like - Linux, BSD, other...
Virtualization is the process of simulating virtual environment for any software or program to run on different platforms or hardware system, or can also be defined as - Virtualization is a process of creating a virtual version (in place of original) of something such as an operating system, a Server, a Storage device or network resources.
Virtualization can be seen as part of an overall trend in
enterprise IT that includes autonomic computing, a scenario in which the
Information Technology environment will be able to manage itself based on perceived
activity, and utility computing, in which computer processing power is
seen as a utility that clients can pay for only as needed. The usual
goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while
improving scalability and overall hardware-resource utilization. With
virtualization, several operating systems can be run in parallel
on a single CPU. This parallelism tends to reduce overhead costs and
differs from multitasking, which involves running several programs on
the same OS.
Operating system virtualization is the use of software to allow a
piece of hardware to run multiple operating system images at the same
time. The technology got its start on mainframes decades ago, allowing
administrators to avoid wasting expensive processing power.
Type of Virtualization
Reasons for virtualization
In the case of server
consolidation, many small physical servers are replaced by one larger
physical server to increase the utilization of costly hardware resources
such as CPU. Although hardware is consolidated, typically OSes are not.
Instead, each OS running on a physical server becomes converted to a
distinct OS running inside a virtual machine. The large server can
"host" many such "guest" virtual machines. This is known as Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) transformation.
Consolidating servers can also have the added benefit of reducing energy consumption. A typical server runs at 425 W and VMware estimates an average server consolidation ratio of 10:1.
A virtual machine can be more easily controlled and inspected from
outside than a physical one, and its configuration is more flexible.
This is very useful in kernel development and for teaching operating
system courses.
A new virtual machine can be provisioned as needed without the need for an up-front hardware purchase.
A virtual machine can easily be relocated from one physical machine
to another as needed. For example, a salesperson going to a customer can
copy a virtual machine with the demonstration software to his laptop,
without the need to transport the physical computer. Likewise, an error
inside a virtual machine does not harm the host system, so there is no
risk of breaking down the OS on the laptop.
Because of the easy relocation, virtual machines can be used in disaster recovery scenarios.
Hardware virtualization
Hardware virtualization or platform virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual machine
that acts like a real computer with an operating system. Software
executed on these virtual machines is separated from the underlying
hardware resources. For example, a computer that is running Microsoft Windows may host a virtual machine that looks like a computer with the Ubuntu Linux operating system; Ubuntu-based software can be run on the virtual machine.
In hardware virtualization, the host machine is the actual machine on which the virtualization takes place, and the guest machine is the virtual machine. The words host and guest
are used to distinguish the software that runs on the physical machine
from the software that runs on the virtual machine. The software or firmware that creates a virtual machine on the host hardware is called a hypervisor or Virtual Machine Manager.
Different types of hardware virtualization include:
Full virtualization:
Almost complete simulation of the actual hardware to allow software,
which typically consists of a guest operating system, to run unmodified.
Partial virtualization:
Some but not all of the target environment is simulated. Some guest
programs, therefore, may need modifications to run in this virtual
environment.
Paravirtualization:
A hardware environment is not simulated; however, the guest programs
are executed in their own isolated domains, as if they are running on a
separate system. Guest programs need to be specifically modified to run
in this environment.
Memory virtualization
Memory virtualization allows networked, and therefore distributed,
servers to share a pool of memory to overcome physical memory
limitations, a common bottleneck in software performance.
With this capability integrated into the network, applications can take
advantage of a very large amount of memory to improve overall
performance, system utilization, increase memory usage efficiency, and
enable new use cases. Software on the memory pool nodes (servers) allows
nodes to connect to the memory pool to contribute memory, and store and
retrieve data. Management software and the technologies of memory overcommitment
manage shared memory, data insertion, eviction and provisioning
policies, data assignment to contributing nodes, and handles requests
from client nodes. The memory pool may be accessed at the application
level or operating system level. At the application level, the pool is
accessed through an API or as a networked file system to create a
high-speed shared memory cache. At the operating system level, a page
cache can utilize the pool as a very large memory resource that is much
faster than local or networked storage.
StorageVirtualization: It is
commonly used in storage area network (SAN).It helps to perform the
tasks of recovery in less time and easily, archiving and backup. It can
be placed in different levels of SAN.
While there are numerous, listed here are some core benefits:
Enterprise Continuity – Lower downtime associated with vision important apps and programs.
Improved upon Utilization – Increase efficiency by increasing the usage of server assets coming from 25% (average) to 60%+.
Cost is reduced – Need much less components, energy and area.
Managing is simplified– Deploy, administration and monitoring from one unit.
Network Virtualization
network virtualization is the process of combining hardware
and software network resources and network functionality into a single,
software-based administrative entity, a virtual network. Network virtualization involves platform virtualization, often combined with resource virtualization.
Network virtualization is categorized as either external, combining many networks, or parts of networks, into a virtual unit, or internal,
providing network-like functionality to the software containers on a
single system. Whether virtualization is internal or external depends on
the implementation provided by vendors that support the technology.
Components of a virtual network
Various equipment and software vendors offer network virtualization by combining any of the following:
Network hardware, such as switches and network adapters, also known as network interface cards (NICs)
Network elements such as firewalls and load balancers
Server virtualization is the masking of server resources, including the number and identity of
individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems, from server users. The server
administrator uses a software application to divide one physical server into multiple isolated
virtual environments. The virtual environments are sometimes called virtual private servers, but
they are also known as guests, instances, containers or emulations.
As you can see that all workstation's are running there respective operating system and working on, while for a enterprise requirement all the data processed on local client side workstation should be stored in central server after being received by Virtualized Central Server, this is very important so the user can get his interdependency of choosing his working workstation operating system environment.
The intention is to spare the user from having to understand and manage
complicated details of server resources while increasing resource
sharing and utilization and maintaining the capacity to expand later.
Virtualization indicates
partitioning one server directly into many virtual servers called
Virtual Machines (VMs). Using Hypervisor technology, networking,
storage, and computing resources are collectively and delivered to
Virtual machine. Even though sharing the resources of same physical
server,
Desktop Virtalization
Desktop virtualization is the concept of separating the logical desktop from the physical machine.
One form of desktop virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI), can be thought as a more advanced form of hardware
virtualization. Rather than interacting with a host computer directly
via a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, the user interacts with the host
computer using another desktop computer or a mobile device by means of a
network connection, such as a LAN, Wireless LAN or even the Internet. In addition, the host computer in this scenario becomes a server computer capable of hosting multiple virtual machines at the same time for multiple users.
As organizations continue to virtualize and converge their data center environment, client
architectures also continue to evolve in order to take advantage of the
predictability, continuity, and quality of service delivered by their Converged Infrastructure. For example, companies like HP and IBM provide a hybrid VDI model with a range of virtualization software and delivery models to improve upon the limitations of distributed client computing.
Selected client environments move workloads from PCs and other devices
to data center servers, creating well-managed virtual clients, with
applications and client operating environments hosted on servers and
storage in the data center. For users, this means they can access their
desktop from any location, without being tied to a single client device.
Since the resources are centralized, users moving between work
locations can still access the same client environment with their
applications and data
For IT administrators, this means a more centralized, efficient client
environment that is easier to maintain and able to more quickly respond
to the changing needs of the user and business
Thin clients,
which are seen in desktop virtualization, are simple and/or cheap
computers that are primarily designed to connect to the network. They
may lack significant hard disk storage space, RAM or even processing power,
but many organizations are beginning to look at the cost benefits of
eliminating “thick client” desktops that are packed with software (and
require software licensing fees) and making more strategic investments.
Desktop virtualization simplifies software versioning and patch
management, where the new image is simply updated on the server, and the
desktop gets the updated version when it reboots. It also enables
centralized control over what applications the user is allowed to have
access to on the workstation.
Application virtualization
Application virtualization is software methodology that encapsulates application software from the underlying operating system on which it is executed. A fully virtualized application is not installed in the traditional sense,although it is still executed as if it were. The application behaves at
runtime like it is directly interfacing with the original operating
system and all the resources managed by it, but can be isolated or sandboxed
to varying degrees. In this context, the term "virtualization" refers
to the artifact being encapsulated (application), which is quite
different to its meaning in hardware virtualization, where it refers to the artifact being abstracted (physical hardware).
he application remains unaware that it accesses a virtual resource
instead of a physical one. Since the application is now working with one
file instead of many files and registry entries spread throughout the
system, it becomes easy to run the application on a different computer
and previously incompatible applications can be run side-by-side.
Benefits of application virtualization
Allows applications to run in environments that do not suit the native application:
e.g. Wine allows some Microsoft Windows applications to run on Linux.
e.g. CDE, a lightweight application virtualization, allows Linux applications to run in a distribution agnostic way
Operating System Virtualization
Operating System virtualization is the use of software that allows a piece of hardware to run multiple operating system images at the same time.
In operating system-level virtualization, a physical server is
virtualized at the operating system level, enabling multiple isolated
and secure virtualized servers to run on a single physical server. The
"guest" OS environments share the same OS as the host system – i.e. the
same OS kernel is used to implement the "guest" environments.
Applications running in a given "guest" environment view it as a
stand-alone system. The pioneer implementation was FreeBSD jails; other examples include Solaris Containers, OpenVZ, Linux-VServer, LXC.
like this above this machine is currenly in Ubuntu Environment but in real world its haring its hardware with Windows 7.
Full Virtualization
In computer science, full virtualization is a virtualization technique used to provide a certain kind of virtual machine
environment, namely, one that is a complete simulation of the
underlying hardware. Full virtualization requires that every salient
feature of the hardware be reflected into one of several virtual machines
– including the full instruction set, input/output operations,
interrupts, memory access, and whatever other elements are used by the
software that runs on the bare machine,
and that is intended to run in a virtual machine. In such an
environment, any software capable of execution on the raw hardware can
be run in the virtual machine and, in particular, any operating systems.
The obvious test of virtualization is whether an operating system
intended for stand-alone use can successfully run inside a virtual
machine.
approach to data management that allows an application to retrieve and
manipulate data without requiring technical details about the data, such
as how it is formatted or where it is physically located
Database virtualization may use a single ODBC-based DSN to provide a connection to a similar virtual database layer.
Benefits of Data Virtualization
Reduce risk of data errors
Reduce systems workload through not moving data around
Increase speed of access to data on a real-time basis
Significantly reduce development and support time
Increase governance and reduce risk through the use of policies Reduce data storage required
Database virtualization
Database virtualization in this case we create multiple layers of a single database and put to be accessed by user all over the required platform or area. a single database is manipulated and edited all around and all of those changes are saved in the central main database or in technical term we can say that- Data virtualization is the decoupling of the database layer,
which lies between the storage and application layers within the
application stack. Virtualization of the database layer enables a shift
away from the physical, toward the logical or virtual. Virtualization
enables compute and storage resources to be pooled and allocated on
demand. This enables both the sharing of single server resources for
multi-tenancy, as well as the pooling of server resources into a single
logical database or cluster. In both cases, database virtualization
provides increased flexibility, more granular and efficient allocation
of pooled resources, and more scalable computing.
Virtualization in education
Virtualization in field of education is playing a great significant role where ever it is applied Successfully managing multiple sites and an array
of faculty, staff, and student needs is becoming increasingly difficult
as budgets decrease and equipment and facilities age. Use
virtualization in education to help cut costs, increase efficiency, and
adapt quickly and automatically to changing requirements.
