An Overview of Cryptography

1. INTRODUCTION
Does increased security provide comfort to paranoid people? Or does security provide some very basic protections that we are naive to believe that we don't need? During this time when the Internet provides essential communication between tens of millions of people and is being increasingly used as a tool for commerce, security becomes a tremendously important issue to deal with.

catch a macro virus

By unknown

So, you wanna catch a macro virus ? Here, I'll show you a simple method of how to catch a macro virus and obtain the source code. After all, with sooo many macro

viruses out there, it's pretty exciting if we get to catch one, and even those unknown and undetected ones. This trick would work on Word 97. I'm not sure if it works on Word 2000 coz I've never tested it on Word 2000. Also, don't bother trying it on Word XP/2002 coz it won't work. First thing's first, what you'll need: an infected document (*.doc) and MS Word 97. Getting started: Make sure that you turn off any AV software coz it'll interfere with our tasks. Also, before doing anything, ensure that the Macro Virus Protection feature in Word 97 is on (activated). This is extremely important as we'll see later. First......run the infected document by double clicking it.

Moreover, advertising networks are becoming the newest targets of malvertising (malicious advertising), particularly those who syndicate by reselling their ad space to third parties. This article briefly outlines the risk of malvertising, social networking, and need for a defense-in-depth approach to combating these threats.

What services should be on an IIS server

By Blake

The more services running on a computer, the more entry points there may be available to malicious attack. A service is a potential entry point because it processes client requests. To help reduce this risk, you should disable unnecessary system services.
