Windows XP Professional rocks. With the windows update tool and other security and reliability features, Microsoft has made the life of home and business professional users better.
Windows XP Internet Security for Advanced Users
Your computer keeps crashing and your internet connection is slow. Pop-ups are filling your desktop with messages that you don’t want. You need to take control and protect your internet connection before it’s too late.
The Principles of RDBMSs Security
Databases are a goldmine for criminals. Successfully tracking an intrusion can depend 100% on administering database accesses and permissions. Unauthorized user actions, as well as possible intruder actions, need to be tracked and audited in order to maintain the integrity of the information stored in the database.
The Database Security Checklist
Database security can jeopardize your network security. The security administration of your RDBMS (Relational Database Management System), needs to be focused on preventing the unauthorized use of your company or business information by criminals.
GNU Linux Security
People consider the GNU or free software and open source software to be unsafe and are supposed to easily compromised because their source code are readily available,which isn’t correct. This article is specifically related for the security of the GNU Linux Operating system and will help the person for enabling the security parameters for added safety.
NetCat Security
Netcat is a utility that is able to write and read data across TCP and UDP network connections. If you are responsible for network or system security it essential that you understand the capabilities of Netcat. Netcat can be used as port scanner, a backdoor, a port redirector, a port listener and lots of other cool things too. It’s not always the best tool for the job, but if I was stranded on an island, I’d take Netcat with me. During this tutorial I’ll demonstrate a complete hack, using Netcat only, just to point out how versatile it is.
Definition of Security: Small Business Owner
Yes, that IS security when nobody can downsize you because you OWN that small business of yours! But preserving that special advantage is a never-ending job. In fact, do you know what needs to be preserved more than anything else?
Are Ebook Security Programs All They’re Cracked Up To Be
Ebook authors these days seem to be highly focused on ebook security. Stories run rampant through the ‘Net about customers who share ebook files on the Internet and via email, buy your ebook and attempt to sell it themselves for a profit, and ask for a refund, but continue to use your ebook. These situations can result in thousands of dollars in lost profit for you.
Dispelling the Myth of Wireless Security
Despite a few good online articles and countless alarmist news items decrying parasitic War Drivers and War Chalkers contributing to the moral decay of the country, a surprising number of people still install wireless equipment with all of the defaults enabled. There are a huge number of access points in use today that unintentionally advertise a default SSID, bridge directly to an Ethernet network, and use no encryption whatsoever (or a WEP key left on the factory setting, and therefore easily deduced).
Saving Our Bacon: Snort Security Holes and Strategies for Safe Network Monitoring
In April, a CERT advisory announced the discovery of two separate buffer-overflow vulnerabilities in Snort, a popular security-monitoring tool used for detecting suspicious network activities. This development was disturbing and ironic: system administrators install and run programs like Snort to improve security, and don’t often consider the possibility that the tools themselves might be attacked and exploited to create entirely new security holes. It’s therefore important to understand precisely what happened here, especially since the same mechanisms used against Snort could threaten other security tools.
