- Home Network Security (continued).
- Any home computer connected to the Internet is in danger of being attacked. ...
- Computer owners should have a firewall and allow no responses to any attempts to connect into the home from outside. ... These passwords can be written down, because they are defending against network attackers rather than in-home attackers.
- A computer should have a modern virus scanner, which is enabled to scan all inputs to the computer, as well as automatic updating of virus signature files, at least daily.
- Computer owners should update operating systems and applications with the latest security patches and scan for new patches daily. ...
- Security settings should be set to maximum on both browsers and e-mail agents.
- Therefore, if one wants network security and wireless networking, and chooses a bundled product, then one must install a personal firewall on every machine in the house and allow no incoming connections on any of them.
- For each operating system, there are numerous settings that must be made properly to maximize security. The documents describing such settings run to dozens of pages and need to be produced for each different home operating system. ...

- The Windows desktop has produced a significant change in the way people and computers interact; it is possible to perform many common tasks with very little computer knowledge, including some quite complex ones. ...
- Modern operating systems need to cater for the vastly increased user base with a lower average computer skill level and the increased power and complexity of modern computer systems. Therefore, some technically savvy users accuse the Windows interface of isolating the user from too much of the inner workings of the computer, making it more difficult to control and configure some system features. ...
- Most consumers do not delete Windows and install another operating system, although this is an option. ...
- Security.
- Security has been a major issue with Windows family products for many years. Most modern operating systems were designed for security in a multi-user and/or networked environment and have a relatively small number of security issues. Windows was originally designed for ease-of-use on a single-user PC without a network connection, and did not have security features built in from the outset. ...
- Microsoft publicly admitted their ongoing security problems shortly after the turn of the century and (according to their press statements) now regard security as the number one priority. ...
- Microsoft releases security patches through its Windows Update service approximately once a month, although critical updates are made available at shorter intervals. ...

65. Article: Database
- en.wikipedia.org
- A database is usually but not necessarily stored in some machine readable format accessed by a computer. ...
- Historically, the hierarchical model was implemented first, then the network model, then the relational model overcame with the so-called flat model accompanying it for low-end usage. ...
- For instance, columns for name and password might be used as a part of a system security database. ...
- The network model allows multiple tables to be used together though the use of pointers (or references). ... Thus, the tables are related by references, which can be viewed as a network structure. A particular subset of the network model, the hierarchical model, limits the relationships to a tree structure, instead of the more general directed graph structure implied by the full network model. ...
- Unlike the hierarchical and network models, there are no pointers whatsoever, according to the Information Principle: all information must be represented as data values; attributes of any type represent relationships between relations. ...
- This is because they are essentially adaptations of obsolete network and hiearchical databases to object-oriented programming. ...
- Databases are used in many applications, spanning virtually the entire range of computer software. ...

71. Article: Hacker
- en.wikipedia.org
- As will be discussed below, there is a trend in the popular press to use the term to describe computer criminals (which some call crackers), and others, whose actions run afoul of various governments. This trend annoys some old-school computer/technology enthusiasts, although not all old-school hackers - some of them, like Steve Wozniak, hacked regardless of whether their activities were legal or illegal. ...
- In the nascent computer culture of the 1960s, the unavoidable analogy to "hacking" programs was the already-established counter-culture practice of chopping Harley-Davidsons in Southern California: taking them apart and "chopping" their frames, improvising to make them lower, sleeker, faster, hotter than their uncustomized "stock" originals. ...
- Computer culture at MIT developed when members of the Tech Model Railroad Club started working with a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-1 computer and applied local model railroad slang to computers. In modern computer culture, the label "hacker" is a compliment, indicating a skilled and clever programmer. ...
- Someone who (usually illegally) attempts to break into or otherwise subvert the security of a program, system or network, sometimes with malicious intent. ...
- Someone who attempts to break into systems or networks in order to help the owners of the system by making them aware of security flaws in it. ...

- Trojan horse -- These are applications that seem to do useful work, but set up a back door so that the hacker can later return and enter the system. ...
- Snooper -- Applications that capture password and other data while it is in transit either within the computer, or over the network .
- Similarly, computer viruses, unlike worms, embed themselves within files on the host system. When "infected" executables run, or sometimes when infected binary data files are read, the virus is able to spread to other binary format files on the local system, floppy disks or over the network. ...

73. Article: Database management system
- www.wikipedia.org
- Database management system.
- (Redirected from Database system) .
- A database management system (DBMS) is a computer program (or more typically, a suite of them) designed to manage a database, a large set of structured data, and run operations on the data requested by numerous users. ... Originally found only in large companies with the computer hardware needed to support large data sets, DBMSs have more recently emerged as a fairly standard part of any company back office. ...
- DBMS's contrast with the more general concept of a database applications in that they are designed as the "engine" of a multi-user system. ... A typical database application will not include these features internally, but may be able to support similar functionality by relying on the operating system to provide these features for it. ...
- The Codasyl approach was based on the "manual" navigation of a linked dataset which was formed into a large network. ...
- IBM also had their own DBMS system in 1968, known as IMS. IMS was a development of software written for the Apollo program on the System/360. IMS was generally similar in concept to Codasyl, but used a strict hierarchy for its model of data navigation instead of Codasyl's network model. ...
- In this paper he described a new system for storing and working with large databases. ... Such a system would be very ineffecient when storing "sparse" databases where some of the data for any one record could be left empty. ...
- For instance, a common use of a database system is to track information about users, their name, login information, various addresses and phone numbers. ...
- Linking the information back together is key to this system. ...
- This "re-linking" of related data back into a single collection is something that traditional computer languages are not designed for. ...
- Using a branch of mathematics known as tuple calculus, he demonstrated that such a system could support all the operations of normal databases (inserting, updating etc. ) as well as providing a simple system for finding and returning sets of data in a single operation. ...
