Boing Boing Launches Videogames Blog 1
The Boing Boing network has added a new videogames blog to its roster by the name of Offworld. From the Blog Herald report:
Edited by Brandon Boyer, a familiar name for some of us that used to hail the Edge mag, it is bound to be something interesting.
The new blog gives ample attention to independent games but still covers the heavyweights such as World of Warcraft.
Go Offworld now.
A corporate network is that type of network that uses different types of network media. Usually more than one network protocol is used in such networks. Assuming a corporate network with UNIX as an operating system, we will consider security at two main ends, one at the user-end and the other at the underlying network end which is responsible for the data flow in the network.
Security at the machine level: Computers execute instructions one after the other to produce the result of the application currently being executed. The application might be a database, a word processor, a spreadsheet or any thing. Sometimes the results are not correct, this can be due to the wrong user manipulation of data, or it could be a damaged instruction by some anonymous source that intended it to behave abnormally. Such anonymous sources are treated as “programmed attacks” or “mal wares”. There are many types of mal wares, classified according to the way they spread, their behavior and the way they get invoked, and are classified into the following categories. (Reinhardt, 2002)
Security Tools: Most of the tools are used by the professionals to site the weaknesses in their network. Such tools are highly thorough and automated and are programmed to identify the flaws in the network. They can also be used by a person who is seeking for an attack, to compromise with the performance of the computers and networks. Moreover, there are such tools as well designed is to attack computers by seeking flaws in the network Unfortunately such tools are readily and easily accessible. SATAN, Tiger and ISS are examples of such tools. (Reinhardt, 2002)
