அமெரிக்காவின் குடியேற்ற சீர்திருத்த மசோதாவால் இந்திய ஐ.டி. நிறுவனங்களுக்கு வரும் ஆபத்து

அமெரிக்காவில் கொண்டு வரப்பட இருக்கிற குடியேற்ற சீர்திருத்த மசோதாவால் இந்திய ஐ.டி. நிறுவனங்களுக்கு பெரும் ஆபத்து காத்துக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறது. இந்த மசோதா நிறைவேறினால் இந்திய தகவல் தொழில்நுட்ப நிறுவனங்களுக்கு மிகப்பெரிய பாதிப்பு ஏற்படும் என்ற அச்சம் தற்போது எழுந்துள்ளது. குடியேற்ற சீர்திருத்த மசோதாவில் புதிதாக சேர்க்கப்பட இருக்கும் 8 அம்சங்கள் தான் இதற்கு காரணம். இந்த மசோதா நிறைவேறினால் வரும் பாதிப்புகள்.

1.ஐ.டி. நிறுவனங்கள் ஹெச்-1பி விசாவில் பணிபுரியும் பணியாளர்களை தங்களுடைய வாடிக்கையாளரின் பணியிடத்தில் பணியில் ஈடுபடுத்தவோ, அந்தக் குறிப்பிட்ட பணிக்காக ஒப்பந்த அடிப்படையில் பணியாளர்களை நியமிக்கவோ தடை விதிக்கப்படும்.

2.வேலைக்கு அனுப்பும் எல்-1 தொழிலாளர்களை இந்திய நிறுவனங்கள் மேற்பார்வையிடுவதோடு கட்டுப்படுத்த வேண்டும். அந்த தொழிலாளர்களுக்கான அமெரிக்க நிறுவனம் 90 நாட்களுக்கு முன் மனு தாக்கல் செய்ய வேண்டும். அந்த மனுவில் அதே பகுதியில் உள்ள எந்த ஒரு பணியாளர்களையும் ஆட்குறைப்பு செய்யவில்லை என உறுதி அளிக்க வேண்டும்.

3.ஹெச்-1பி மற்றும் எல்-1 தொழிலாளர்களின் மொத்த எண்ணிக்கைக்கு கட்டுப்பாடு விதிக்கிறது. இந்த குடியேற்ற மசோதாவின் கீழ் அமெரிக்க நிறுவனத்தில் மொத்தமாக உள்ள ஹெச்-1பி மற்றும் எல்-1 தொழிலாளர்களின் சதவீதத்திற்கு ஒரு எல்லையை நிர்ணயிக்கலாம்.

4.மூன்று கட்டங்களாக செயல்படுத்தப்பட உள்ள இந்த மசோதா, அக்டோபர் 1, 2014 முதல் செப்டம்பர் 30, 2015 வரையிலான காலகட்டங்களில் ஹெச்-1பி மற்றும் எல்-1 தொழிலாளர்களின் அதிகபட்ச விகிதம் 75 சதவீதமாகவும், அக்டோபர் 1, 2015ல் இருந்து செப்டம்பர் 30, 2016 வரை 65 சதவீதமாகவும், அக்டோபர் 1, 2016க்கு பிறகு 50 சதவீதமாகவும் இருக்க வேண்டும் என நிர்ணயித்துள்ளது

Important security bulletin for WordPress users

A large distributed brute force attack against WordPress websites is understood to be occurring recently across the internet. A large botnet with thousands of attacking servers is attempting to log in by cycling through different usernames and passwords to get into the WordPress Admin dashboard. This is a global attack which is affecting thousands of servers globally.

To ensure that your websites are secure and safeguarded from this attack, we recommend the following steps to be implemented immediately if you are using WordPress:

1) Update your WordPress installation to the latest available version. If you have any plugins and themes installed under WordPress, please make sure that you update them to the latest version as well.

2) Use a strong alphanumeric password for your WordPress Admin login. You can use a password generator like http://www.strongpasswordgenerator.com

3) Password protect the WordPress admin directory (wp-admin) so that it will have an additional protection. You can do that through cPanel > Security > Password Protect Directories

Note: If it breaks the Ajax functionality or shows 404 errors in the dashboard, you may have to add the following in .htaccess file:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any

4) If you have a static IP address, you can lock down the WordPress Admin access using .htaccess file with the following rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-login\.php(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-admin$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^72\.72\.72\.72$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^72\.72\.72\.73$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^72\.72\.72\.74$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [R=403,L]

(Replace 72.72.72.72, 72.72.72.73, 72.72.72.74 with your actual PC IPs)

5) Install security plugins like:

Payment System with Paypal

 

Download the sample 

I received a tutorial requests from my reader that asked to me how to implement payment gateway system with Paypal API. In this post I want to explain how to work with Paypal Sandbox test accounts for payment system development and sending arguments while click buy now button. It’s simple and very easy to integrate in your web projects.

Sample database design for Payment system. Contains there table users,products and sales.

Users

CREATE TABLE `users` (
`uid` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`username` varchar(255) UNIQUE KEY,
`password` varchar(255),
`email` varchar(255) UNIQUE KEY,
)

Products

CREATE TABLE `products`
(
`pid` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`product` varchar(255),
‘product_img` varchar(100),
`price` int(11),
`currency` varchar(10),
)

Sales

CREATE TABLE `sales`
(
`sid` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`pid` int(11),
`uid` int(11),
`saledate` date,
`transactionid` varchar(125),
FOREIGN KEY(uid) REFERENCES users(uid),
FOREIGN KEY(pid) REFERENCES products(pid)
)

Step 1

Create a Paypal Sandbox account at https://developer.paypal.com/

Step 2

Now create test accounts for payment system. Take a look at Sandbox menu left-side top Sandbox->Test Accounts

Step 3

Here I have created two accounts Buyer (personal) and Seller(merchant/business)

products.php
Contains PHP code. Displaying records from products table product image,product name and product price. Here you have to give your business(seller)$paypal_id id. Modify paypal button form return and cancel_return URLs.

<?php
session_start();
require ’db_config.php’;
$uid=$_SESSION['uid'];
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
$paypal_url=’https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr‘; // Test Paypal API URL
$paypal_id=’your_seller_id‘; // Business email ID
?>

<body>
<h2>Welcome, <?php echo $username;?></h2>
<?php
$result = mysql_query(“SELECT * from products”);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<img src=”images/<?php echo $row['product_img'];?>” />
Name: <?php echo $row['product'];?>
Price: <?php echo $row['price'];?>$
// Paypal Button 
<form action=’<?php echo $paypal_url; ?>‘ method=’post’ name=’form<?php echo $row['pid']; ?&gt;’>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’business’ value=’<?php echo $paypal_id; ?>‘>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’cmd’ value=’_xclick’>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’item_name’ value=’<?php echo$row['product'];?>‘>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’item_number’ value=’<?php echo$row['pid'];?>‘>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’amount’ value=’<?php echo $row['price'];?>‘>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’no_shipping’ value=’1′>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’currency_code’ value=’USD‘>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’cancel_return‘ value=’http://yoursite.com/cancel.php’>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’return‘ value=’http://yoursite.com/success.php’>
<input type=”image” src=”https://paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221; name=”submit”>
</form>

<?php
}
?>
</body>

success.php
Paypal payment success return file. Getting Paypal argument like item_number. Paypal data success.php?tx=270233304D340491B&st=Completed&amt=22.00&cc=USD&cm=&item_number=1

<?php
session_start();
require ’db_config.php’;
$uid = $_SESSION['uid'];
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
$item_no = $_GET['item_number'];
$item_transaction = $_GET['tx']; // Paypal transaction ID
$item_price = $_GET['amt']; // Paypal received amount
$item_currency = $_GET['cc']; // Paypal received currency type//Getting product details
$sql=mysql_query(“select product,price,currency from producst where pid=’$item_no’”);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$price=$row['price'];
$currency=$row['currency'];//Rechecking the product price and currency details
if($item_price==$price && item_currency==$currency)
{

$result = mysql_query(“INSERT INTO sales(pid, uid, saledate,transactionid) VALUES(‘$item_no’, ‘$uid’, NOW(),’$item_transaction’)”);
if($result)
{
echo ”<h1>Welcome, $username</h1>”;
echo ”<h1>Payment Successful</h1>”;
}
}
else
{
echo ”Payment Failed”;
}
?>

He followed wherever Viswa go and was shocked to see Viswa went to mosque and put fez on his head and pray and quickly Peter informed to Nirupama about Viswa real identity la and she was shocked to know her husband was a Muslim la. As he went outside from mosque, he sensed that someone follow his back which was Peter so he run away until he reached warehouse and quickly disappeared. Peter knocked the warehouse door since he thought Viswa was there la but then

Omar(Rahul Bose)

In the night, Nirupama saw Peter death on the news and Deepak suddenly came to her house and blasted her for hiring Peter as detective and there will be a small fight between Viswa and Deepak until Nirupama questioned back to Viswa whether he is Muslim, he was speechless and asked her to come for discussion la but suddenly Farouk came with his group and captured Viswa and Nirupama while Deepak was actually Farouk’s friend and that why he know that Nirupama hired detective based on Farouk. 

The scene moved to the warehouse where some of muslims which their face and body contained diseases and they were sitting inside the container la and Nirupama and Viswa were tied and Farouk ask Viswa his real name and he told his real name was Tawfeeq la but suddenly he change to Nasra name. Farouk becoming confused and angry and he kicked 3 times to Viswa’s man secret weapon . Omar who was in the control room asked Farouk to capture Viswa photo and traced his email and when

Salim(Jaideep Ahlawat) 

gave Viswa’s photo to Omar, he got shocked and ask Farouk to shoot Vishwa’s knees and make sure he is alive and he asked Farouk to kill Deepak and Deepak was being headshot killed.

Viswa being bleed as the result of Farouk punishment, Nirupuma asked Farouk to untie Viswa and Farouk gave him last chance to say his real name or else he will die. Viswa suddenly changed his face from a soft character to a fighter where he fought all the baddies and managed to kill Farouk in which Nirupama got shocked and Viswa guided her to escape and he told her to count until 10 second, if after 10 second he was not escaped, he asked her to run away with a car. While in warehouse, more baddies coming towards him and try to shoot him and he managed to escape after Nirupama countdown and he jumped toward Nirupama car mirror to escape la and when Omar reached the warehouse, Viswa and Nirupama had escape and he told to Salim that Viswa was the one who recruit Al-Qaeda and the flashback shown to the Afghanistan where his real name was Wisam Ahmad Kashmiri(but i used Vishwa simple to used)

In Afghanistan, Omar was searching and recruiting peoples and he saw Viswa photo which was wanted and he asked Viswa whether he know any language la and Viswa told he know only Tamil la and Omar bring him to the cave where he met Mamu and

Nasser

and the photographer took Omar and his recruiting team photo including Viswa,Mamu and Nasser. The scene moved to the terrorists who were in shoot training and they used George Bush as main target la and at night, Omar brings Viswa to his house where there is doctor who was anEnglish girl that treat Omar’s wife(Khadija) and Omar asked the doctor to leave without treating his wife la. He asked Khadija to close mouth by covering the scarf la and he introduced Viswa to her and also Omar’s son named Nasra and that time Nasra was talking English with Khadija. Omar asked Nasra who called the doctor and why he was talking English because Omar hate English peoples so he banned his peoples talking English la and Jalal was an English school teacher and he helped Nasra to learn English but Omar asked Jalal when the last time he broke Jalal leg from the result where Jalal taught Nasra and even Omar had buried that schoo when he heard Nasra was studying there la.

The next day show where Nasra eyes being tied up and he need to guess what his touch such as AK-47 rifle and bullets size where he calculated precisely la and suddenly one informer told to Omar that NATO(North Atlantic Treaty Organization) attack their neighbourhood place la and when they went there,all was died and Viswa found that English girl who was previously treated Khadija but she was killed but her horse was alive and Viswa decided to kill that horse to end the suffering la.and Mamu were gifted some sort of girl scarf and he happily running from that place as Viswa was confused looking at him la. Omar told to Viswa that he still kept the prisoner and they went there and Omar with Salim killed all the 3 prisoners due to the NATO attack and Viswa just stood down watching that murder la and the camera moved to Mamu scene where he ran towards America bunker and quickly he lied down when a tank came and he died because he released the bomb in which he become the suicide bomber la

On the night, Omar told there will be one sheikh coming to this place and he will be treasurer for them. Sheikh came and his name was Tawfeeq and he gave a gift to Viswa as Viswa kept that safely in the bag la. The next day, Omar bring Viswa to the special place where Omar was not mentioning the place name and the shocked news was Omar went to Osama place and he met Osama but as soon they were talking suddenly American helicopter came to that Omar’s place and the American killed several terrorist as Viswa asked Omar to calm down since Omar’s wife,son and Jalal were hiding in the another house where they need to be saved but suddenly Omar’s friend was killed and Omar was really angry and again try to fight but suddenly a blast where Omar being injured badly la and Viswa asked them to carry Omar to the truck and rescued him while Viswa will try to save Khadija,Nasra and Jalal but while he want to save the 3 of them suddenly a rocket was shot at their hiding place and they were died la.

The flashback was finished and the scene show Viswa house as Nirupama still confused what were happened around here la and Ashmita used medicine to treat him and Viswa asked his mama (which now he will called him as Sir) to burn all the papers and the papers were burned and one microchip look like sim card was burnt too. Then Viswa went to his room and cut his long hair to short hair. After he finished cutting his hair, Nirupama was amazed of Viswa new looks la and as they are ready to escape, FBI was coming to his house and Viswa asked Dawkins to escape first from house because FBI will not suspect on him since his face looks like American and Viswa removed one of his cupboard where there will be a door that lead to the basement la and Nirupama got shocked because she not even know this basement room. They both escaped via car and at the same time, Omar with Salim chasing them until Omar stop chasing them when Omar reached highway as he told that FBI would caught them and his Salim asked to Omar that Viswa was a good person in Afghanistan but why he suddenly changed la but Omar told that he the only one know how bad and dangerous Viswa is. The flashback come back to Afghanistan.

Omar try to calm down the fighting between the terrorists and Tawfeeq since many of them suspected Tawfeeq as the traitor but Omar does not believed and terrorists asked Omar to check Tawfeeq’s bag and he found only the gift that was gave to Viswa and he asked Salim to hold that gift and he seeing nothing problem but suddenly there is a red dot and when Omar open the gift, it was American radio signal which can detect their location. Omar was totally angry and hit Tawfeeq with stick and ask other terrorists to punish Tawfeeq. The next day show that Tawfeeq being hanged and died and again the flashback was finished.

Before that,Omar had called his other partner to clean the evidence and that partner put the bomb on that place and quickly went away la. Nirupuma asked to Viswa because she do not know where they are going and he answered by going to her place and she was shocked but Viswa told to her that Deepak was collaborating with Omar by using cesium and actually at first Nirupama never know the main goal of Deepak when she was helping him but after Viswa told everything then only she got to know and Nirupama quote to Viswa “Nenge nallavara kettavara?” which means she asked to him whether he is good or bad and he told that he is also good but somehow bad and when Viswa throwing money on the air, that time, the flashback was shown back to Afghanistan where the scene where Tawfeeq gave a gift to Viswa and when he going to put that gift in the bag suddenly there is one person who was Viswa’s men bring another similar to that gift and put that on his bag and then the scene move on when Viswa was escaping with his man and he asking to his man why he not removed and destroyed the gift after signalling the location because due to their mistake, Tawfeeq was hang killed but Viswa’s man answered it back by telling Tawfeeq is not one of his religion or caste( I was so confused).

The flashback was finished when the money who was thrown by Viswa was laying down and he went to Deepak place and check the transactions where most of name came from with name of Abbasi and he was from Nigeria la but at the same time,Omar’s partner who had leave that place and went to some place which he can see the bomb place and he detonated it.

As Viswa, Nirupama and Ashmitha going to escape, suddenly FBI came and asked them to surrender and they are surrendered. At FBI office,

Tom Black(James Babson) 

asked a lot of question to Viswa but he had explained all to him but still Tom cannot understand him but luckily Viswa Mama(Sir) came to rescue him by bringing India ambassador and explained everything to them and Vishwa told them that the terrorist used cesium to spread the radioactive in America and the flashback was shown again where Omar discussed with Viswa by telling that he will used pigeons as the weapon and put cesium on pigeon’s legs and spread it la and the flashback again was finished la and Viswa told to FBI that there is a warehouse where the terrorist are being kept in there and quickly they went to the warehouse where the terrorist was praying and going to do something and when FBI open the warehouse and asked them to surrender, they went to suicide by bombing the warehouse.

The scene move to Dawkins as he went to muzeum and met the owner of museum and he want to buy one special blade but before that Dawkins introduced his name as other name and when he is going to buy that blade suddenly on owner CCTV show the real buyer of that blade and quickly Dawkins killed that owner and run away to his car but soon he went to his car, he met with Salim and Salim brought Dawkins to other place and he was being killed la .

Viswa with his Sir went to see Dawkins but he was already died and the scene move on to Abassi as he is setting something on his place while all the FBI was following through roof la and the scene show Omar and Salim was on the plane waiting to get the signal from Abbasi and the scene show to the Abbasi room where all FBI had covered his outside home and FBI used some hi tech camera to focus what was he doing. Viswa get shocked because Omar was planing to make cesium bomb through Abbasi help and when Abbasi starting to pray, Viswa used this moment to killAbbasi after Abbasi finished prayed and Abbasi died after second time being shot by Viswa and then a call ringing from Abbasi’s mobile which was Omar and he commanded Abbasi to detonate the bomb but suddenly Omar got shocked to know that Viswa was already there and Omar know his plan was ruined. The scene move back to the cesium-bomb scene where the ending was Nirupama came to that room to help Viswa since she was doctor specialist, she saw a microwave and she took that microwave and open the microwave door and put that to the top of that bomb and she explained to them that by putting microwave on top of the bomb, the bomb cannot be detonate by anyone since its cannot detect the signal to detonate la and the final was all were walking and Viswa said this is not the ending where there will be a continue and then show Viswapooram 2 trailer! The movie ends.

Shebby Final Prediction : 3.5/5
