Analyze suspicious files, domains, IPs, and URLs to detect malware and other breaches

I've shared various security analysis tools before, but there's one that stands out as my absolute favorite: VirusTotal.

VirusTotal is an exceptional tool, especially when it comes to scrutinizing suspicious emails or web domains. This tool has become a staple in my security toolkit, and I rely on it extensively before deciding to block an email or when someone requests me to verify an email address.

If you prioritize a proactive approach to cybersecurity, VirusTotal should undoubtedly be in your arsenal.

ChatGPT on your computer for free


Experience ChatGPT ( AI chat) on your computer for free - the simplest way to deploy Mistral 8x7b Small.

Begin by downloading the model itself. Don't be overwhelmed by the variety; we only need one. Opt for a larger model if your computer boasts superior cooling capabilities, including ample RAM and a robust video card. Here's a handy table of approximate requirements.






Next, install the KoboldCPP interface from GitHub. If you're equipped with an NVIDIA graphics card, opt for koboldcpp_cuda.exe; otherwise, choose koboldcpp.exe.

Launch the executable file, navigate to the "Models" section in the opened window, click "Browse" at the top, and locate your chosen model. Get ready for an effortless ChatGPT experience!

GPT4free


I was taken aback to discover online projects that leverage the free Python library GPT4free, only to charge users for access. One such project even introduced a subscription model for tokens, a practice I find perplexing. It seems counterintuitive to monetize something readily available to the public, especially when it relies on third-party web services granting access to ChatGPT.

Contrary to the claims of uninformed journalists, GPT4free merely acts as an API to the web interfaces of these services and does not involve any hacking or vulnerability in the OpenAI API. The distinction lies in the usage of web versions, which inherently differs from the paid original OpenAI API. This variance introduces drawbacks such as limitations and potential blocks based on geographical IP.

It's worth noting that a free solution like GPT4free doesn't guarantee 100% stability. It raises questions about the rationale behind individuals opting to pay for it when anyone can access it for free. The disparity between paid and free versions, coupled with the inherent limitations of the latter, underscores the importance of understanding the nuances of these offerings in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technologies.
