TALLINN MANUAL & GLOBAL ATTEMPTS IN CYBER WARFARE POLICIES
The presentation is one unique presentation peculiar to TALLINN MANUAL version 1.0 and 2.0. Along with is discussed cyber policy attempts of other countries.The Tallinn Manual has long been the flagship research initiative of the NATO CCDCOE. The original Tallinn Manual (published in 2013 by Cambridge University Press) addressed the most severe cyber operations followed by version 2.0. The presentation cover the origin details of why this manual arrived at the global scene and what followed around at the global attempts for framing the global cyber policy.

BRAVE Web Browser : How much advertisements I blocked in a week ?
Hello friends, herewith first I am sharing screen shots of my brave browser dashboard that I captured over a week from 30 Jan 2021 to 6 Feb 2021.The screen shots I have taken pertain to morning hours whenever I login for the day. I am generally on my PC for about 8-9 hours a day. I majorly watch YouTube videos and surf across multiple sites in a day that range from 50-100 at times. So what I am bringing out here that how many ads Brave browser has blocked in this duration and whilst this surfing times.
30 Jan 2021 : 70517 blocked : Counter 0
31 Jan 2021 : 77744 blocked : Counter 7227 in day( i.e. 30 Jan 2021)
01 Feb 2021 : 92342 blocked : Counter 14598 in day( i.e. 31 Jan 2021)
02 Feb 2021 : 97440 blocked : Counter 5098 in day( i.e. 01 Feb 2021)
03 Feb 2021 : 105386 blocked : Counter 7946 in day( i.e. 02 Feb 2021)
04 Feb 2021 : 108354 blocked : Counter 2968 in day( i.e. 03 Feb 2021)
05 Feb 2021 : 112036 blocked : Counter 3682 in day( i.e. 04 Feb 2021)
06 Feb 2021 : 114870 blocked : Counter 2834 in day( i.e. 05 Feb 2021)
So,total ads blocked over a week is 44353 that deduces to approx average of 6336 ads/day. That's phenomenal to say. Each of these trackers would be definitely linked to thousands of other trackers also giving them unrestricted access to all the user behavior ,privacy and profiles. While there is not much a normal user can do about these trackers, I feel just blocking these thousands of ads will not make any one absolutely free of tracking,but still better than surfing without blockers. Because if the ad companies know that users are blocking by means of plugins and such browsers,they would have already found ways to still track you. After all that's their means of living and minting economy.

CYBER SECURITY : A Mathematical attempt to understand and interpret the mechanics behind
Well..after a long time of around few years I gave a talk that was exclusive to CYBER SECURITY otherwise I have generally hovered around Blockchain and bitcoin for quiet some time now.The unique thing about this presentation is the take on that I attempted. The difference between the usual presentations and this one is that I have tried to explain the technicals behind data collection and prediction through regression. While the common men isn't largely bothered about surfing anything, anywhere, anytime, believing what harm can one do if he has nothing to loose. But alas he should understand why is the need so.The strange patents that IT giants like facebook ,google ,MIcrosoft are currently holding and developing is worrisome to realise. The links below give the presenation download google drive link and the scribd direct link.
