Hacking Apps for Android devices

Now days, smartphones and tablets are most the popular gadgets. If we see recent stats, global PC sale has also been decreasing for the past few months. The reason behind this is that people utilize tablets for most of their work. And there is no need to explain that Android is ruling global smartphone and tablet markets. Android is most popular mobile OS with more than 60% market share.

So, companies are now focusing on bringing their software as a mobile app for Android. These apps include office apps, photo editing apps, instant messaging apps and penetration testing apps. If you have an Android smartphone, you can start your next penetration testing project from your Android phone. There are few android apps that can turn your Android device into a hacking device. Although, these apps have so many limitations and can only be used for few specific tasks. You can never get the same experience as you get with your PC. But smaller jobs can be performed. Apps for penetration testers are not available widely, but hackers can enjoy this platform in a better way. There are many Wi-Fi hacking and sniffing apps available.

As we already said that Android is ruling smartphone and tablet markets, developers are also creating more apps for Android devices. This is the reason why the Android market has millions of apps. Like websites, apps also need penetration testing to check for various vulnerabilities. Security testing for Android apps will need to have a penetration testing environment on your Android device.

Note:

1. Most of the apps work on Rooted Android devices. So root your Android device first. If you are not sure how to do it, learn how to by, reading one of the many sites available to help with this process.
   
2. You will lose your device’s warranty if you root it, so think twice before proceeding.
   
3. These apps can also harm your Android device. So please try these apps at your own risk.

Rp172,9 MILIAR Untuk Beasiswa Kaltim Cemerlang 2014

Kepemimpinan Gubernur Kaltim Awang Faroek Ishak bersama wakilnya Mukmin Faisyal telah dilantik pada 17 Desember 2013 lalu akan tetap mengucurkan program Beasiswa Kaltim Cemerlang untuk periode 2014-2018. “Program Beasiswa Kaltim Cemerlang yang sudah digulirkan pada periode 2009-2013 akan tetap dilanjutkan dalam periode 2014-2018 karena program ini untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan,” ujar Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim) H Musyahrim. Program Kaltim Cemerlang yang berarti cerdas, merata dengan prestasi gemilang, merupakan upaya Pemprov Kaltim memberikan beasiswa bagi pelajar dan mahasiswa bukan hanya untuk warga Kaltim, tetapi juga untuk warga Kalimantan Utara (Kaltara), provinsi baru hasil pemekaran dari Kaltim. 

Guna pemerataan penerima beasiswa, maka dalam Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah (RPJMD) Kaltim 2014-2018, sistem pendaftaran untuk memperoleh beasiswa mendapat revisi, yakni yang sebelumnya semua pendaftarannya dilakukan melalui internet, maka ke depan untuk kawasan perbatasan dan daerah terpencil dilakukan secara manual. Untuk daerah perkotaan, pendaftaran guna mendapatkan beasiswa tetap dilakukan secara online, tetapi di kawasan perbatasan dan daerah terpencil yang belum mendapatkan akses internet, maka dilakukan kerja sama dengan dinas pendidikan di kabupaten untuk mendata pelajar dan mahasiswa yang akan mendapatkan beasiswa. Beasiswa Kaltim Cemerlang diberikan kepada pelajar berprestasi dan tidak mampu, termasuk kepada mahasiswa berprestasi dan tidak mampu di semua program studi sehingga terjadi pemerataan penyalurannya. Selain menyalurkan beasiswa, pihaknya juga tetap mengembangkan sekolah unggulan yang tersebar di kabupaten dan kota, pasalnya sekolah unggulan untuk memberikan pelayanan kepada siswa unggul. Hal ini perlu dilakukan karena perkembangan pendidikan bagi siswa unggul tidak akan maksimal jika hanya dididik setara dengan standar pendidikan yang ada, pasalnya dalam pendidikan di sekolah umum dilakukan penyamarataan.

Pengembangan sekolah unggulan bukan berarti mengecilkan kualitas pendidikan pada sekolah konvensional atau sekolah  umum. Sekolah konvensional kualitasnya bagus, tetapi tidak cocok untuk siswa unggul. Bagi siswa yang tingkat kecerdasannya umum tetap bersekolah di sekolah konvensional, tetapi bagi siswa unggul sebaiknya dididk di sekolah unggulan.

Pada 2014 Pemprov Kaltim mengalokasikan anggaran sangat fantastis untuk beasiswa, yakni mencapai Rp172,9 miliar yang diperuntukkan bagi 52.667 pelajar dan mahasiswa baik berupa beasiswa prestasi maupun beasiswa tidak mampu. “Beasiswa Kaltim Cemerlang dari Pemprov Kaltim pada 2014 ini mengalami kenaikan ketimbang tahun sebelumnya, yakni pada 2013 diberikan kepada 31.116 penerima dengan total beasiswa senilai Rp149 miliar,” ujar Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Kaltim H Musyahrim. Alokasi beasiswa dan stimulan yang sebesar Rp172,9 miliar itu terdiri Beasiswa Kaltim Cemerlang sebesar Rp125 miliar untuk 50.000 penerima, pemberian penghargaan bagi siswa berprestasi, yakni siswa SMAN 10, Mitra Pasiad dan Studi Luar Negeri sebanyak Rp26,17 miliar bagi 697 orang. Kemudian untuk beasiswa kualifikasi guru sampai menyesaiikan strata satu dan strata dua (S1 dan S2) senilai Rp19,93 miliar untuk 1.480 orang, dan beasiswa Tutor Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) senilai Rp1,83 miliar bagi 490 orang.

Dia juga mengatakan bahwa dalam penyaluran beasiswa di tahun 2013 dan tahun-tahun sebelumnya telah dilakukan evaluasi, sehingga dalam penyaluran beasiswa mulai 2014 dan seterusnya akan lebih baik. Evaluasi dilakukan agar penerimanya lebih tetap sasaran dan bermanfaat, sehingga mulai 2014 akan dilakukan dengan memberikan kuota tertentu di setiap  perguruan tinggi negeri dan swasta, atau proses seleksi dan usulan dilakukan pemerintah kabupaten dan kota di Kaltim dan Kaltara. Diterapkannya sistem tersebut diharapkan masing-masing kabupaten dan kota, perguruan tinggi, dan sekolah dapat menentukan kuota mereka, siapa yang berhak menerima. 

Meski begitu, Pemprov Kaltim tetap akan mengelola penerimaan beasiswa yang telah diprogramkan, seperti untuk mahasiswa di Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK) di Balikpapan dan mahasiswa di Institut Seni dan Budaya Indonesia (ISBI) di Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara. Saat ini semua mahasiswa ITK masih melakukan kuliah di Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya, sedangkan mahasiswa ISBI masih menumpang kuliah di Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta, tetapi jika Kampus ITK dan ISBI sudah terbangun, maka mereka akan pindah ke Kaltim.
