In any society, there are always bad people. Wherever someone has money and enjoys a comfortable lifestyle in addition to their nice income, some other person who applies no work into life comes and along and takes it from them. The most readily available image of the thief is the good old “hold you at gunpoint” sort. These criminals would rob you in some desolate alley for all of your money and jewelry, and then skate off to their getaway mobile. These are the criminals of old in their most popular portrayals.

This type of criminal would have a starring role in an old mobster film, the ones so overplayed they would be in a stark non-color version. As with their movie persona, these guys committed some atrocities. The film portrayals simply scared viewers, but street crooks are the ones to be held accountable for most of the fright and damage to citizens. These bad guys are the ones who make the streets unsafe at night, and are bait for sensationalist news reports adding to the hysteria.

These men were the most evil of the bad in their era. They were the outcasts of society, the ones that, when families saw their bodies in court, would avert their child’s gaze, as if their gaze had some strange power. These were the reasons that the United States treads lightly with its prison system. It is a strange thing that such an accepting society conjures: you have these boundless freedoms, yet it is just assumed that you will not abuse them. Unfortunately, while most of us take care of these stipulations, guys like these don’t and it tears at the very foundation of our civilization.

This popular axiom applies to many things. Perhaps it means don’t fit the mold, and be an individual. Perhaps it means to strive for what you aspire to. We are going to speak of it in the context of online privacy and security systems. Don’t use the standard protection on your computer. Well, don’t let it be your only line of defense. When people get a computer, they check it for many features, but Internet privacy isn’t usually one of them. Whether it be ignorance or just a nonchalant attitude towards online privacy, it is a real risk. Imagine if one didn’t bother to set up their security systems at all or did so completely incorrectly; they might as well be surfing the Internet with a “Hack me” sticker on their back. Hackers can detect if any security systems are present in one’s computer, and they strike where it would be easiest to get in.

While having absolutely no security protection is a bit farfetched, (as most systems come automatically equipped with something)  some people might as well have nothing. These are the people who rely solely on the cheap and bugged technology that came installed on their computers when they got them. Most people don’t buy any extra software, and hackers will prey on these people. No matter what brand the computer is, these stock security systems are all very similar; if a hacker can break one, he can break them all. It doesn’t even take a really skilled hacker to do so either; these people often just read online tutorials on how to do this stuff and just get on their computer and mess with someone’s connection until they get in. It is usually that simple, and once they can do one of them, they can break into pretty much any Internet user’s connection and steal their data.

As soon as you visit SystemBypass.com, you know they are all business, right from the get-go; “Internet Privacy” is posted in lucid font right at the top of every page you visit, reminding you why you are here. As soon as the site is loaded, blog posts with a myriad of Internet topics pop-up. The site is very aesthetically pleasing too; a soft gray background with inciting pictures of dog-eared newspapers goes hand-in-hand with the theme of privacy and security. Luckily, there’s no annoying cycling music, no flashing art graphics to give you seizures, and no fluorescent text to make your eyes hurt when you log off. The big RSS hot air balloon in the corner of the screen reminds you how compatible the site is; broadcasting in RSS format helps people who cannot access the site or have the time to read it in text format. Safe web browsing, security and privacy online, and even an insight into hacker’s tactics! The last is quite unique. The site actually explains and gives complete guides on how hackers do their malicious jobs. While this site does not condone hacking or Internet privacy, it does something totally unique in where it will actually show you “tutorials” on hacking, so you can avoid putting yourself in those sketchy circumstances. The best defense is a good offense, and you always need to know your enemy.

The whole site is laid out in a very professional, and easy to navigate manner. There are “Home” and “About” buttons at the top of the screen. “About” gives you a concise history, conscious of brevity, and explains their goals and aims. “Home” brings you right back to the meat and potatoes of the site: the posts. Every post is laid out in a thumbnail fashion; you are given a bit of preview text, and if you are interested, click it and read the rest. Once on the expanded version of the article, you can then post a comment to give your opinion, vent your feelings, or just add a bit of extra information.
