How Computer Viruses Works?
Computer viruses tend to grab our attention. On the one hand, viruses show us how vulnerable we are. A properly engineered virus can have an amazing effect on the worldwide Internet. On the other hand, they show how sophisticated and interconnected human beings have become. <<How Computer Viruses Works?>>
Why People Create Viruses?
Origins and History People create viruses. A person has to write the code, test it to make sure it spreads properly and then release the virus. A person also designs the virus's attack phase, whether it's a silly message or destruction of a hard disk. So why do people do it? <<Why People Create Viruses?>>
Typical Infections and Protection
As virus creators got more sophisticated, they learned new tricks. One important trick was the ability to load viruses into memory so they could keep running in the background as long as the computer remained on. <<Typical Infections and Protection>>
Lesson Learn From Viruses Infections
Viruses, including network worms, Trojans, and more can provide equally good, and often times better, views of the network in a true production environment -- and there is quite a bit an administrator can learn from a security compromise. <<Lesson Learn From Viruses Infections>>
A penetration test is the authorized, scheduled and systematic process of using known vulnerabilities in an attempt to perform an intrusion into host, network or application resources. The penetration test can be conducted on internal (a building access or host security system) or external (the company connection to the Internet) resources. It normally consists of using an automated or manual toolset to test company resources. <<What is Penetration Testing?>>
