23,600 Hacked Databases Have Leaked From a Defunct ‘Data Breach Index’ Site

https://ift.tt/2I1x4HB

More than 23,000 hacked databases have been made available for download on several hacking forums and Telegram channels in what threat intel analysts are calling the biggest leak of its kind. From a report: The database collection is said to have originated from Cit0Day.in, a private service advertised on hacking forums to other cybercriminals. Cit0day operated by collecting hacked databases and then providing access to usernames, emails, addresses, and even cleartext passwords to other hackers for a daily or monthly fee. Cybercriminals would then use the site to identify possible passwords for targeted users and then attempt to breach their accounts at other, more high-profile sites. The idea behind the site isn’t unique, and Cit0Day could be considered a reincarnation of similar "data breach index" services such as LeakedSource and WeLeakInfo, both taken down by authorities in 2018 and 2020, respectively.

Why 2A Supporters Love The Mandalorian

https://ift.tt/3jNgW9L

One of the first movies I saw in the theater was when I wasn’t even old enough for kindergarten. I was just four years old when Star Wars premiered. My uncle, then all of 16 and a newly licensed driver, took me to see what was becoming a cultural phenomenon. I became a massive science fiction fan at that moment, a genre I still love all these many years later.

Then the prequels came, and they were…not good.

Then we got the new movies. While I liked The Force Awakened, The Last Jedi was freaking awful. Rise of Skywalker was better, but that was a low bar.

Disney had all but destroyed my beloved Star Wars.

Then Disney Plus launched and premiered The Mandalorian. It showed that the issue wasn’t Disney, but something else.

What I noticed, though, were just how many of my fellow Second Amendment lovers also loved The Mandalorian.

Now in its second season–which premiered this past Friday–the show is continuing where it left off, and I think the show’s popularity with the Second Amendment crowd will continue to grow. In fact, I expect to start seeing Mandalorian-themed stuff begin to replace Punisher skulls any day now.

But the question is, why? Here are a few reasons I’ve seen.

In one season one episode, the Mandalorian has to talk to jawas about parts for his ship. He’s advised to leave his guns behind. The character, Din Djarin, simply replies that he’s a Mandalorian and that “weapons are part of my religion.”

While guns aren’t religious for most of us, the refusal to leave our guns behind speaks to a part of the Second Amendment supporter’s soul. Guns are for self-defense. Leaving them behind exposes you to danger. While Djarin has more reason than most of us to be concerned–he’s a bounty hunter, after all–but at this point, no one is actively hunting him so far as he’s aware. He simply won’t leave his weapons behind.

It’s kind of hard not to look at that and think about how similar it feels to how many of us approach things. A “Gun Free Zone” sign is basically telling us to go away, conduct business somewhere else. An espoused anti-Second Amendment opinion is much the same thing.

While guns aren’t part of our religion necessarily, they’re a part of our life and we recognize that people danger doesn’t go away just because you wish it would.

Over the course of the show, there are a couple of episodes that show evil people preying on the peaceful but disarmed folks just trying to get by in life. It takes someone with a gun to make armed bad guys go away.

Of course, while this is fiction, the reality of it appears everywhere in real life. Criminals prey on the innocent citizen unless that citizen is armed. Some who can afford it hire private security to bring their guns, but many of us can’t afford to outsource it.

Whether it’s protecting a village as Djarin did in season one or watching a would-be marshal put slavers down, the only thing that really stops bad people with guns is good people with guns.

I mean, I don’t have to lay out why that appeals to the Second Amendment crowd.

More importantly than the symbolism, of course, is the story. One of the worst things about much of modern science fiction is the idea that politics should trump telling a good story.

In The Mandalorian, story doesn’t play second fiddle to anything. The plot is engaging and entertaining. It fully embraces the idea of it being a space western in a way that no show has since Firefly. In fact, there’s some debate as to which is better, but since I absolutely love both, I’m staying out of that one.

For fans of westerns, you’ll recognize the similar themes. For example, there’s the episode with MMA legend Gina Carano which is reminiscent of The Magnificant Seven. Episode one of season two gives a bit of a shout-out to Justified and Deadwood with guest star Timothy Olyphant showing up.

And through it all, there’s a weapon on his side.

See, while it tells great stories, it doesn’t beat you over the head with all the ways you suck like so much of modern media tries to do. Instead, it just entertains you while, admittedly, showing all the things that Second Amendment fans have been saying for years.

I know that a lot of people aren’t fans of Disney, and I get that. However, let’s be better than the other side and not try to destroy businesses that disagree with us on stuff.

Instead, support good fiction that maybe shows a bit of what we believe. Do that enough and they’ll start making more of it, especially when so much of their other stuff isn’t getting that support. You win the culture war surrounding the Second Amendment by making sure to support stuff that might not be intended to be pro-2A but actually is.

PyCharm – A Simple Illustrated Guide

https://ift.tt/3oLo6PC

PyCharm is one of the most popular and widely used IDE for Python. This tutorial is a complete walkthrough of the PyCharm Integrated Development Environment to help Python Programmers use PyCharm and its features.

I have researched a lot on the topic and then compiled this PyCharm article/walkthrough for you so that you get a firm grip on using the most popular IDE when it comes to programming in Python. Not only have I added screenshots and images on numerous topics that have been discussed in this tutorial but also added numerous videos for your convenience and better understanding. So, are you ready to learn the ins and outs of PyCharm?

❖ Introduction to Integrated Development Environments (IDE)

A common question asked by most Python beginners is –

What environment should I prefer while programming in Python?

Answer: You can either use an IDE or a text editor for coding. You need an IDE or a text editor for writing/modifying code.

We have a plethora of choices when it comes to text editors, however, some of them are more popular than the others, majorly because of their ease of use and the features that they provide. Let us have a look at some of them.

➠ Some commonly used text editors for programming are:

1. Sublime Text
2. Atom
3. Vim
4. Visual Studio Code
5. Notepad++

➠ Now, here is a list of some of the most commonly used IDE’s used for coding in Python:

1. PyCharm
2. IDLE
3. Spyder
4. PyDev
5. Wing

Now that brings us to the next question –

Should we use an IDE or a Text editor?

Answer: This is one of the most debated questions among programmers. I prefer using an IDE over text editors. The reason being, IDEs provide numerous advantages over a simple text editor though one might argue that IDEs can be used as text editors, and text editors can be used as IDEs. However, strictly speaking, a text editor is used for writing/modifying text/code whereas, an IDE, enables us to do a lot more within that single program; running, debugging, version control, etc.

An IDE or Integrated Development Environment can be considered as a programming tool that integrates several specialized tools into a cohesive environment. These specialized tools may include:

• A text editor
• A code autocomplete function
• A build procedure that includes a compiler, linker, etc.
• A debugger
• A file or project manager
• A performance profiler
• a deployment tool
• and so on.

Advantages of using an IDE

• Provide an Interactive interface which makes life easy for programmers as it ensures that syntactic or semantic errors are detected while developing without any hassle.
• Reduces debugging time.
• Provides an inbuilt version control mechanism.
• Facilitates visual programming through flow-charts, block diagrams, etc.

Therefore it makes more sense to use an IDE instead of using a text editor. In order to use a text editor like an IDE, you must install numerous plugins so that it behaves the way an IDE does but all of that is already taken care of by an IDE without the need for extra plugins.

IDE Selection

Selecting an IDE is purely based on the developers requirement. Some of the factors governing the selection of an IDE can be –

• If a developer has to code in multiple languages?
• Whether an integrated debugger is required?
• If a drag-drop GUI layout is required?
• If features like autocomplete and class browsers are required? and so on.

Having said that, the most commonly used and preferred IDE by Python programmers is PyCharm.

❖ Introduction To PyCharm

As mentioned earlier PyCharm is the most popular IDE used by Python programmers. It is a cross-platform IDE developed by the Czech company JetBrains.

• Code completion
• Line and block commenting
• On-the-fly error highlighting
• Code snippets
• Code folding

• Code analysis
• Configurable language injections
• Python refactoring
• Documentation

What makes PyCharm special and more efficient than most other IDEs?

Intelligent Python Assistance

PyCharm provides:

• smart code completion,
• code inspections,
• on-the-fly error highlighting and quick-fixes,
• automated code refactoring and rich navigation capabilities.

Cross-technology Development

In addition to Python, PyCharm supports JavaScript, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Cython, SQL, HTML/CSS, template languages, AngularJS, Node.js, and more.

Remote Development Capabilities

With PyCharm you can run, debug, test, and deploy applications on remote hosts or virtual machines, with remote interpreters, an integrated ssh terminal, and Docker and Vagrant integration.

Built-in Developer Tools

PyCharm contains a huge collection of out of the box tools:

• An integrated debugger and test runner;
• Python profiler;
• A built-in terminal;
• Integration with major VCS
• Built-in Database Tools.

PyCharm Editions

PyCharm is available in three editions:

1. Community (open-source)
2. Professional (paid)
3. Educational (open-source)

Let’s compare the Community and Professional editions in the table given below:

	PyCharm Professional Edition	PyCharm Community Edition
Intelligent Python editor
Graphical debugger and test runner
Navigation and Refactorings
Code inspections
VCS support
Scientific tools

Remote development capabilities
Database & SQL support

Now that we have gone through the basics of PyCharm, let us have a look at how we can install PyCharm.

❖ Installing PyCharm

Installing PyCharm on Windows

1. The first step is to download the latest version of PyCharm for either of the professional or community version. Here’s the link to download it from the official website:

2. After the download is complete, run the executable installer file and follow the wizard steps that follow.

Installing PyCharm on Mac

Step 1: Open PyCharm and download PyCharm for Mac for either of the Community or Professional version.

Step 2: Once the .dmg file has been downloaded, double click on the file to begin your installation.

Step 3: After the dmg file is launched, drag PyCharm into your Application folder.

Step 4: In the Applications Folder, double click on PyCharm to open the Application.

Step 5: On the first launch you will be asked to import settings. Tick the box:  I do not have a previous version of PyCharm or I do not want to import my settings. Click on OK and Accept the Privacy Policy. Keep the Install Config as it is set by default. Click OK.

On the Welcome screen, you can do the following:

• Create a New Project.
• Open an existing project or file.
• Check out an existing project from a version control system.

Installing PyCharm on Linux

Method 1: Using Snap Package 

PyCharm is available as a Snap package. If you’re on Ubuntu 16.04 or later, you can install PyCharm from the command line.

sudo snap install [pycharm-professional|pycharm-community] --classic

Note: If you are on some other Linux distribution, you can enable snap support first and then use the snap command to install the PyCharm Community Edition.

Method 2: Using official Linux installer from JetBrains 

1. Download the latest version of PyCharm (tar.gz file) for either of the Professional or Community version.

2. Go to the folder where you have downloaded your file.

cd ~/Downloads

3. Extract the tar.gz file.

tar -xzf pycharm-community-2020.1.1.tar.gz

4. Move into the the extracted PyCharm folder and then inside the bin folder.

cd pycharm-community-2020.1.1/bin

5. Add executable permissions to the script file inside the bin folder.

chmod u+x pycharm.sh

6. Then run the script file.

sh pycharm.sh

7. PyCharm starts running and in the first run, you will be asked you to accept the privacy policy. Then you will be asked whether you would like to send data about features, plugins, and other data. If you wish to send the data, you can hit the “Send Anonymous Statistics” button, or you can click on the “Don’t Send” button. And finally, PyCharm will ask you to set up the IDE. Start by choosing the UI theme, creating a launcher script, and adding plugins.

Now that brings us to the end of the first section of this comprehensive guide on PyCharm. In the next section, we will learn how to write our first code in Python using PyCharm. We will also discuss how to run, debug, and test your code. Let’s begin the next phase of our PyCharm journey!
