“HYPERLOOP”- THE GLIMPSE OF FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION


“If you are bold and strong with your determination the entire world will come up and accept you”—This is the sentence told by my friend, vineeth this evening. Yes, as I feel it’s true writing this article about my favourite project of Tesla that is “HYPERLOOP”.


Firstly, let me introduce you the idea of HYPERLOOP :-


HYPERLOOP the word itself holds some power of transforming from the way we are yes , this idea is meant to transform the transportation system. The idealist behind it is the great “Elon Musk”. The basic idea of hyperloop is like the pod which contains passengers, travels at very high speed using magnetic levitation in a tunnel with partial vacuum. This the super-fast way of transportation which will be driven using electric motors.
Confused, let me explain   see, pod is like aerodynamic aluminium capsule like structure encapsulated with a tube surrounded by a cushion of air that permits the pod to move safely at such a high speed. The pods inside a tube carries passenger with the speed of 700 kmph (astonishing !!) and the tube is almost airless propels with the velocity close to the speed of the air. So, this mechanism will make the pods to travel inside the tube with high velocity with no frictional force. The energy which is needed to run the pods is self- created that is done by adjusting magnetic levitation between pods and tubes and some percentage of energy is also created through solar energy in turn converted in to electrical energy stored in the batteries.

WHY HYPERLOOP ?
             1.“ Invention is all about making the world better place to live ”. It is estimated that on an average the people spend 20% of their income to travel because of this conventional ,costly transport system and what Hyperloop aims is getting it down to 5%.
               2. Hyperloop is 100% Environment friendly with zero pollution .(It’s great deal of the century bcz  todays transport system is worsening the environment)
                3.Time is the big boss in today’s fast moving world imagine what if you travel 700 km in an hour !
                4. Hyperloop is the mark of the fourth industrial revolution underlying all fiction foresaw flying cars and teleporters .
               5. Effective ,efficient in terms of cost and speed respectively than Japanese bullet trains, high speed trains and even aeroplanes.
             6. High resistive to natural calamities like earthquakes , the hyperloop tubes is mounted on a series of pylons, each pylon placed every 100 feet  or so . The pylon will allow for slip due to thermal expansion and earthquakes , ensuring that the tubes will not be broken by any such movement.

DRAWBACKS-
   1.  Issues of public approvals, legislations and regulations as it is all for the public domain. Political scenarios etc
     2.Untrained work force.
     3.Difficult process of re-engineering.

Feasibility:
Tesla collaborating with spacex is conducting the feasibility study in different places of the world and getting it promoted to the next generation transport system.
Already, the U.S.A approved the project and sent for the case study the first line is between the Los Angeles and California city.
The countries like China is also studying the possibilities of the project.
In India the project is positively received and the government of A.P is finding for the possibilities of line between Vijayawada to Amaravathi.
 
Elon musk  defines Hyperloop as the new age of technology which is going to change even the global transport system.
It’s all something which the normal people cannot even imagine bringing the last corner to it’s account is all want by the makers of Hyperloop. I wish let’s all to be  in the account of Hyperloop.


          Just imagine  the way it impacts the world....

"LOCKY "THE NEW RANSOME VIRUS IS TO HIT INDIA



"LOCKY" --The ransome virus is expected to hit INDIA



A new crypto-ransomware type was recently discovered using an uncommon distribution method. Dubbed as “Locky”, the ransomware variant infiltrates system through a malicious macro found in a Word document. While ransomware that relies on macros have been rarely seen, the distribution technique could be linked the notorious banking malware DRIDEX, which uses similar methods.
Locky gets into victims' systems through email masquerading as an invoice with a corresponding attached Word document that's laced with malicious macros. According to researchers, the subject line of the email reads: ATTN: Invoice J-98223146 with a message that says, "Please see the attached invoice (Microsoft Word Document) and remit payment according to the terms listed at the bottom of the invoice."


Given its dangerous nature, macros are disabled by Microsoft by default. Enabling macros, as their security bulletin notes, “makes your computer vulnerable to potentially malicious code and is not recommended.” When macros are enabled and the downloaded document is opened, the installation of the malware begins. Otherwise, the unknowing victim will see lines of incomprehensible text that advises users to “Enable macro if the data encoding is incorrect”.
Locky's malware executable file is downloaded from a web server. Once installed, it begins looking for attached drives (including networked drives) and encrypts files such as documents, images, music, videos, archives, database, and other web application-related files. Encrypted files will be renamed and  appended with a “.locky” extension. Much like other ransomware variants, a ransom note in varying languages is left in every directory that has been encrypted. The message directs victims to a Tor network to make payment in Bitcoins (0.5 BTC).
[Read: How ransomware works and how to protect yourself]Researchers at Palo Alto Networks have recorded 446,000 sessions involving this new ransomware, over half of which (54%) were detected to have affected victims in the United States. Trend Micro detects this ransomware variant as RANSOM_LOCKY.A . In addition to the United States, it is seen globally, including in countries as Japan, Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Mexico, Spain, Israel, and India.
Closer analysis by our researchers also shows that aside from having the same macro downloaders, there appears to be similarities on how the DRIDEX and Locky macro downloaders are coded. Both use the same file name (ladybi.exe) when dropped to the system.
Further, our researchers have come across a link between Locky and other crypto-ransomware variants. Locky, CRYPTESLA, and CRILOCK are packed by the same packer. This could either mean that this tool is used by the same distributor, or that this packer is readily-available and accessible to different ransomware authors.
Ransomware infections remain a crippling and highly effective attack form used to extort huge profits from their targeted victims. One of the most notable incidents involves a highly publicized ransomware attack that paralyzed the systems and networks of the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center for more than a week. The hospital's administration later admitted to paying the ransom of 40 Bitcoins, or $17,000, to restore the affected systems. Earlier reports pegged the ransom at $3.6 million, which HPMC later corrected in an official memo.
