Chapter 5 Topic 1 DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: ROLE OF DATABASE IN SQL SERVER: A database management system (DBMS) is a collection of programs that enables you to store, modify, and extract information from a database. There are many different types of database management systems, ranging from small systems that run on personal computers to huge systems that run on mainframes 1) It is a suite of programs for constructing and maintaining the database. 2) Offering ad hoc query facilities to

Table of Contents History of Microsoft Windows Vista and vulnerabilities 2 Discussion about vulnerability 6 How Buffer overflow works: 6 Prevent against Buffer overflow: 6 General security approaches which can be applied to the system 7 Evaluation of a third party protection mechanism 8 References 9 This report is containing four tasks and the aim of this report is to discuss vulnerabilities which are existed in Microsoft Windows Vista over the whole year 2008. In this report

This paper explores the most significant security vulnerability that information technology (IT) professionals face in the future. It provides definitions, dissimilarities between vulnerabilities, risks, threats, and risk along with real-world examples of each. This conclusion is the result of several research reports from various sources, to include IT professionals such as the Apple Developers who propose that there are several variations of vulnerabilities which exist, Microsoft, and The Certified

Computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes. The goal

Web applications attack has many techniques at their disposal from a buffer to overflows to SQL injection. This guide states how to allow Web application security tools and Web application attacks occur, identifies obscure and common, Web application attacks and tactics to protect against them. The Web architecture relies substantially on the technology popularized by the World Wide Web. There are so many Web servers this time, some of the accessible Web servers today are AOL/Netscape’s Enterprise

Footprinting The phases of an attack 1. Reconnaissance Information gathering, physical and social engineering, locate network range 2. Scanning - Enumerating Live hosts, access points, accounts and policies, vulnerability assessment 3. Gaining Access Breech systems, plant malicious code, backdoors 4. Maintaining Access Rootkits, unpatched systems 5. Clearing Tracks IDS evasion, log manipulation, decoy traffic Information Gathering 1. Unearth initial information What/ Who is

The Multics operating system project undertaken at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the 1960s was a novel and powerful approach that helped shape the subsequent course of computing technology. In particular, Multics served as the model for utility computing and the various kinds of on-demand software, platforms, and infrastructure services that exist today. Multics was the first instance of the cloud. Leaving networked computers inside, Multics also offered a novel approach to

Reports of computer security failures appear frequently in the daily new. Cite a reported failure that exemplified one (or more) of the principles listed in the chapter: easiest penetration, adequate protection, effectiveness, weakest link.

computer or computer’s network through a network’s hole to deploy malicious code and gain access to the volatile data stored in memory. Hackers are constantly probing corporations to acquire system information. Buffer overflows and OS stack overflow are commonly caused by hackers when the buffer is not flushed regularly. A hacker causes a Denial of Service (DoS) which are too many access requests at once so the webserver gets confused and crashes opening the doors for the hacker. Once they are in the

1.0 Comparing Networking Features of Linux & Microsoft. Microsoft * Next Generation TCP/IP Stack: this networking feature of windows is available for “Windows Server 2008” and “Windows Vista”. It is a “complete redesign of TCP/IP functionality for both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) that meets the connectivity and performance needs of today 's varied networking environments and technologies.” Joe Davies (2008) * Server Message Block 2.0 (SMB):
