Essential Concepts in Information Security

Threat vs. Threat Agent: Key Distinctions

The word “threat” usually stands for a category of things that pose a potential danger. Viruses, worms, and other types of malware, for example, are threats. A “threat agent,” by contrast, is a specific threat, or a specific type of virus, worm, or other malware. For example, the Blaster Worm is a threat agent.

Vulnerability vs. Exposure in Security Systems

Vulnerability is a fault within the system, such as software package flaws, unlocked doors, or an unprotected system port. It leaves things open to an attack or damage.

Exposure is a single instance when a system is open to damage. Vulnerabilities can in turn be the cause of exposure.

Infrastructure Protection

THE WEB:

1. WEB1.0, WEB 2.0, WEB 3.0:

-WEB 1.0 or the read-only web: In the 1990s, information on the Internet was only for reading. It was a network of documents and people could not interact with the content. For example, they couldn’t give their opinions, ask for information or register as users. In addition, the information online was not updated very frequently. Almost everything that people used online was also part of the World Wide Web (www).

WEB 2.0 or the social network:

This was developed during the first decade of the 21st century. In this new web, information became bidirectional. Users could not only receive information, but also create and share it. New services appeared and became popular, such as email, chats, videoconferences,... Continue reading "Evolution of the Web and Information Management" »

Vulnerabilities in Von Neumann Architecture

The system architect of the von Neumann is the way that it can allow direct memory access to the low level languages like C and C++.

If the program goes and tries to access the memory out of bound by allocating code injection to the system, it allows the system to access the memory out of the stack which causes buffer overflow and the attacker can access the other memory from the allocated stack. This way an attacker can get access to the system. Therefore von Neumann architecture is vulnerable to code injection, the effect of the buffer overflow.

Understanding Threats and Attacks

Threats

• It is a potential security violation that might exploit vulnerability of the system or assets.
• Threats can be accidental,

Transpose of a Matrix

This code demonstrates how to find the transpose of a matrix in Java.

Sorting Algorithm

This code implements a simple sorting algorithm to arrange elements in ascending order.

Complex Number Operations

This code shows how to perform operations on complex numbers in Java, such as addition.

Static Members

This code explains the concept of static members in Java and how to use them.

Function Overloading

This code demonstrates function overloading in Java, where multiple functions can have the same name but different parameters.

JavaScript Cheat Sheet

JavaScript Arrays

var cars = ["Mercedes", "Tesla","Volvo"];

• pop(): Removes the last element of an array.
• push(): Adds a new element at the end of an array.
• concat(): Joins various arrays into a single array.
• reverse(): Reverses the order of elements in an array.
• indexOf(): Returns the first index of a given element in an array.
• lastIndexOf(): Returns the last index of a given element in an array.
• join(): Combines elements of an array into a single string.
• sort(): Sorts array elements based on a condition.

Global Functions

These functions are built-in to every browser that runs JavaScript:

• parseFloat(): Parses the argument and returns a floating-point number.
• parseInt(): Parses the argument and returns an integer.
• Number(): Returns a

Essential Web and Software Terminology

Web Navigation and Structure

• External Hyperlink

  A hyperlink that opens a webpage located on a remote computer. External hyperlinks provide the links that tie the Web together and rely on HTML anchor tags.

• Back Button

  A basic control used across various technologies. In a web browser, a back button allows an end user to navigate to a previously viewed webpage. A back button is also a feature of smartphone software and other consumer-oriented technologies.

• Navigation Structure

  When using navigation requests, for each BSP application, determine the initial page, the navigation methods, and the target pages in a table with navigation paths.

• Refresh

  An act or function of updating the display on a screen.

File Management

File management is the system an operating system uses to organize and keep track of data. The operating system stores data in units called files, determines how files are stored, efficiently uses available storage space, creates a record of all file usage, and carries out every task related to files and folders.

File names typically have this structure:

filename.extension

Task and User Management

Task Management

Task management is the part of the operating system that controls the running of one or more programs on a computer simultaneously. Today's widely used operating systems support multitasking, allowing multiple tasks to run concurrently, taking turns using the computer's resources.

User Management

With user management, the operating... Continue reading "Understanding Operating Systems: File, Task, and User Management" »
