What is Kali Linux ?

Kali Linux is the new generation of the industry-leading BackTrack Linux penetration testing and security auditing Linux distribution. Kali Linux is a complete re-build of BackTrack from the ground up, adhering completely to Debian development standards.

As the distribution developers, one would likely expect us to recommend that everyone use Kali Linux but the fact of the matter is, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testing and security auditing.

Good News For Africa's Internet!

Finally Africa now has its own unique web address .africa, this is like the .com. Africa Union has all the credit for this new development. I applaud AU for this great achievement and i also want to seize this opportunity to remind AU that there is still more work to be done as far as Africa's Internet and Technology is concerned; we need our own SAR Value as a people and as a Continent.

SAR means specific absorption Rate of a mobile phone, its the measurement of how much radiation a mobile phone emits during use, I pointed out few years ago that Continents like North America and Europe have their own SAR value (1.6 and 2.0 w/kg respectively) hence Africa too should look into standardizing or defining the SAR value of mobile phones that come into Africa. Click the link below for a comprehensive explanation on SAR value.
Specific Absorption Rate.

The Nigeria Economy

Nigeria is the largest Africa country and it has the biggest Economy as a result of its population size. Nigerians are hard working people, Intelligent people who are committed to whatever they are doing in life. One would have thought that the Nigeria Economy would have been the best in the whole continent but its a different case all together. This is so largely due to political neglect of the huge potentials in the country of over 170 million people.

It is true that Government alone cannot face all the issues of a country hence society sometimes turns attention to NGOs and other bodies in the society for the development of any country. Its on this note, that QHNet think NGOs and Multi National companies in Nigeria are not doing enough to contribute to the development of the Nigerian Economy which they have so much benefited from.

It is of great concern to  see  companies like MTN, GLO, Maltina, Peak Milk etc ALWAYS organizing music concerts, dance hall competitions, talent hunts to mention but a few programs for Nigerians. Its a good thing to organize these events but a closer look at them reveals these events or programs are solely for entertainment purposes only! hence 99% of their ambassadors are from the entertainment Industry (Music and Movie Industry) and it should be of great concern because these companies or organizations have direct impact on the Economy and the Economy can not be developed by entertainment alone! What happened to the Agricultural sector? What about the Information and telecommunication sector which some of these companies like MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat operates in?

The Nigeria Music Industry is doing very well because of the assistance and empowerment from  some of the companies and NGOs mention above. Their Ambassadors are given large some of money and sometimes they are given contracts that will facilitate whatever they are doing ( like in music where and artist will be signed to a record label for years with monetary benefits and the assistance he or she needs to come out as a successful musician).  So we have Musicians and Movie stars who are very successful and widely travelled as a result of the empowerment and support from these companies. But we have seen that entertainment alone can not develop the Economy, so I ask again what about  the Youths and persons into large scale farming? what about those in the  ICT sector? Because these are sectors that have direct  impacts on the Economy unlike entertainment.

QHNet believe those in the Information and telecommunication (ICT), Agricultural (large scale farming) sector deserves the same attention and empowerment given to Entertainers. I am thus calling on MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat, Maltina, Peak Milk etc and the Nigerian Government to look into this issues urgently now especially now that the current administration is concerned with development of the Nigeria Economy. This is an urgent issue so QHNet also wants to draw the attention of Minister of Science and Technology Christopher Ogbonnaya Onu together with well meaning members of the National Assembly to lend their support to this course.

Together we can and we will make the Nigeria Economy great again, God bless Nigeria

Before the US presidential elections, Trump was known for his very blunt opinions on issues even on National isues. He has never pretended about what he stands for and what he believes in, Trump made it clear during some of his campaign promises that he was going to ban Muslim nations who supported radical terrorist groups like ISIS etc, he didn't hide his disdain for criminal Mexicans who are going to the US to commit all types of crime, hence his proposed wall on the Eastern borders of the US.

True to his words, President Trump immediately carried out some of his campaign promises to the surprise of many. But i personally think that America's reaction to President Trump's actions and decisions is hypocritical and grossly annoying: Trump already started during is campaign that he would do or carry out the things he his doing right now before majority of Americans voted him into the white house. Trump is a very honest person who believes in whatever he consider right or worth doing, those protesting against his administration should wake up to the new normal. President Trump will complete his four or Eight years in office and i believe America will be 'Great Again' under his administration.

There is really nothing worth living for if you don't have Christ.  He is our hope, our source and the very essence of our living.

Whatever level of success,  achievements, breakthrough  you desire is in Christ Jesus.  Stop struggling with your own effort and intelligence,  surrender to Jesus and experience true peace of mind and unimaginable breakthrough in everything you do.

You have tried many things, it's time to try Jesus and you will see the difference.

#Only Jesus

For some reasons, i have decided not to comment on the current legal case between Apple computers and the FBI. Some of my friends have asked for my take on the the case and here, I want to give my own opinion about that high profile case.

Just for those who are not familiar with the case between the FBI and Apple computers, the FBI wants Apple Computers to unlock an iPhone 5S from a San Bernadino terrorist shooter; Farook. According to FBI, the phone could not be accessed since Farook was shot dead with his wife on that fateful day hence they require Apple Computers to unlock the phone which Apple has refused to unlock.

The FBI has threatened and sued Apple for failing to cooperate with them on a matter of  " National Security",   personally i see this move by the FBI as a desperate move to invade Techs companies within the United State, secondly, I don't consider the case as a matter of National Security plus Apple Computers has the legal right to protect the integrity of the data and information stored in the database of their computers within and outside the US. Lastly, i think and i know that the FBI's request for Apple to assist in unlocking the phone is bullshit! FBI has the capability, the technology and the Intel to unlock any phone, computer etc in any location in the world.  So  my conclusion is that the case is far more than unlocking a single phone, the FBI wants to set a precedent that the Department of Justice and the FBI can compel Tech companies to give up customer's information and create backs doors in mobile phone and computer OS.

QHN join Facebook, Google, Microsoft and other NGO's, individuals and organisations to condemn the FBI request. Request on National Security should not infringe on our right to freedom of expression.

Alright I have been silent on political issues for some time now especially on international politics, but after following the US politics and the candidates of the 2016 US presidential election, i can't anymore! Like Princess Elsa in the movie 'Frozen', i have to 'let it go'. Among all the US presidential candidate, Donald Trump is by far and by all means the most controversial of them and you will understand why if you have been following the Republican and the Democrats debates.
                                                       

So much drama, accusations and counter-accusations so far, CNN and its political commentators are also playing their parts in the campaign drama.
Trump has been  calling his party (The Republican Party)   running mates names which some people within the states think will hinder or reduce his vote in the republican primaries. But Trump is not a clay pot that can be broken by 'mere heat of the sun', he is a very tough businessman and i personally think that after surviving in the highly competitive American business sector, Trump can survive the current political hurricane in the 2016 US presidential election.

The latest of Mr. Trump's "yabing" (na so we dey call am for Naija) is that all Muslims without except should not be allowed to visit the United States for security reasons. A lot Muslim sympathizers have criticized Mr Trump some even calling for the Republican party to denounce him as a member of the party. But i want to hold a different opinion here friends: As an individual i have never been in support of religious, denominational, racial or any other kind of organized discrimination but like Albert Einstein who although being a pacifist, consent to the development and use of the Atomic bomb in the first World War, i hold opinion with Donald Trump; enough of the madness already. Is the Muslim community feel offended and insulted, then they should write and direct all those their 'open letters' to ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups all over the world. Even if you don't agree with me, it is still my opinion and i am entitled to it just as you are entitled to support or no-support of my point here.

Donald Trump, Republican Candidate

There is no time to comment on  the many political crises in Nigeria right now but i want to advise Nigeria politicians to stop decamping to APC, APC is the ruling political party in Nigeria now but most politicians in Nigeria have fail to understand that there is still power in opposition! If there is no opposition then there is no politics and essentially no democracy. So Ayiri and co that are decamping to APC in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria should retrace their political adultery steps abeg

President Buhari

And for the record, i think APC is the worse political party ever in Nigeria. They are just accepting the decampees (if there is any word like that) from PDP without second thought. But i am not even surprised or bothered because APC is full of recycled old political thieves who left PDP to form APC. Finally, Buhari should stop the song about fighting corruption and jailing corrupt politicians from the previous administration. Why is Amechi, Tinubu, Atiku etc not in prison if Buhari is serious about fighting corruption?
