Reasons and signs of Hard Disk Failure

Hard disk failure is major cause of the data loss nowadays.  There are lots of reasons for this. If taken a little care you could avoid the data loss. Hard disks are simply another hardware which will have wear and tire after prolonged use. It is the one thing that works almost always in a computer system. And some time our wrong doings can cause a harddisk failure. Here I am providing some details on the types of harddisk failures and the reasons for the issue.

Reasons: 

  • No proper shutdown.
  • Using computer without a secondary power supply such as UPS and power fluctuation.
  • Connecting the computer to plug which doesn’t have proper earthings(to have a proper ground connection).
  • Prolonged use. These are mechanical devices, so it will eventually fails one day or the other. After years of use, its performance will degrade because of the worn out parts.
  • Extreme heat.

these are the main reasons for a harddisk to fail. While some of these can be avoided not all. Like the ensuring a secondary power source, if the primary fails, will ensure a linger life for the hard disk. Also the system should be properly shutdown always. If the harddisk is being written and the power goes suddenly, may create bad sectors in the harddisk. And you have keep the computer in a cold place. This is not just for the harddisk, all the components with electronic circuit board, will malfunction and eventually fails if it is continually operated in a hot environment.

Now Once you suspect your harddisk is failed, turn off your computer immediately and stop working on it. You better consult any data recovery agencies before you do anything with it unless the data is not important for you. It is important that you know the signs the harddisk shows once it starts to fail. Now I will list down some common signs here to recognize a harddisk failure.

Signs:

  • Some weird noises from inside your computer, so first make sure its not the fan which is producing the sound.
  • Disappearing or corrupted Files. Some times it will show you the “file access is denied” message. You need to further investigate if this happens. Sometimes there are chances for a user to deny the access from other users. If you are the only user and you haven’t done that, check your computer for malwares/viruses.  If this also doesn’t resolve the problem it can be a sign for hard disk failure.
  • Computer shuts down suddenly, hangs very often, these all are signs for a harddisk failure.
  • If your computer(in Windows OS) shows a prompt for disk check very often while booting, there could be some problem. So complete the check and read the information, you might get some clues regarding the problem.
  • Hard disk producing too much heat, is a sign of hard disk failure.
these are the signs for a hard disk failure, but these are not all, there are lots of other signs also. If you suspect something wrong, better you consult with a pc service centre before doing anything. Otherwise you will end up losing all your data.

 

 

Siri is awesome, But the people who cracked it are more Awesome, yes you heard it right, Siri has been cracked

When I first saw Apple’s Siri in action, I was incredibly amazed. It was the perfect anything can get. A Perfect Virtual assistant. You can chit chat to it, ask for suggestions, ask for weather predictions(in a weird way and it will reply with the most accurate answer) and lots more. the possibilities were endless. Now I realized the bad news, just like all other apple products, it can only be used with an apple product. That meant it will never come to any other devises unless its from apple. I was sad, so sad, that I wanted to buy one iphone. But I didn’t, not because I didn’t like Siri that much, but because I don’t quite like Iphone or any IOS devices.

But as I am writing this post about someone cracking the Siri, I am happier than ever. That means, now the technology is out there, its free from the apple’s prison. The guys from Appilidium has done it very well. Now I guess more and more people will try to accomplish the impossible, and one day it may even succeed. Yes I meant one day it may come to android/windows device.

As per the techcrunch post, the tl;dr is this.

 tl;dr breakdown:

  • By connecting Siri to a local router and then dumping data as it came through, they realized that Siri was sending all of its data to a server that we’ll refer to as “Guzzoni”.
  • All trafic sent to Guzzoni was sent through the HTTPS protocol. With the “S” in HTTPS standing for “Secure”, this traffic wasn’t subject to simple packet sniffing. So they had a new idea: make a fake Guzzoni server, and see what came through on the other end.
  • After a good bit of ridiculously clever SSL certificate trickery, they got Siri sending commands to their fake server. With each command comes the “X-Ace-Host” string, which appears to be unique to each iPhone 4S.
  • After figuring out how Apple was compressing (read: not encrypting) the data, Applidium was able to decompress it and parse out a rough sketch of exactly what was being sent (including which audio codec Apple was using), and what Siri expected in return.

You may read the whole post from this link directly from the guys who cracked it. There they have given a  collection of tools by which you might even try this whole thing by your own.
