10:24 am	How to Use Online Survey Software Online survey software can help you create a survey to learn more about your current or potential customers. You can find out what they like or dislike about your products, customer service or website so you can tailor your business to meet their needs and increase your profit. Software for developing online surveys is relatively easy to use, which allows you to focus on the more important problem of designing a survey and creating questions that will give you the most knowledge and help you improve your business. 1)Sign up with a company that offers online survey software. Basic software is sometimes offered free, or for a free trial period, with more features available for varying costs. The features you need will depend on the complexity of your survey. By registering for a free account or trial period, you can see whether the lowest cost software will meet your needs or whether you want to upgrade. firewall software 2)Decide the purpose of your survey and what you'll do with the results. This will help you focus your questions, to get the most information for the least amount of time since people may not finish long surveys or give less accurate answers if they become bored. The best online surveys will produce charts or graphs or averages that clearly show the best action: what advertising campaign will get the most favorable response, whether a new product is worth introducing, which website features turn off customers and so forth. 3)Use the survey software to guide you through the steps of formatting your survey. As you create your survey, write clear, brief questions that are easy to understand, are unambiguous and aren't biased. Online survey software usually has several question formats: multiple choice, ranking, yes or no, rating and open ended. You may want to use a variety to keep the survey interesting and to meet different needs. Make sure to include enough common responses in multiple-choice questions or allow a space for "other" where survey takers can type in their own choice. For example, if most people learned of your company by word of mouth, but that's not an option and they can't write it in, they'll be forced to pick another choice and you might miss an important fact. You can also ask the survey software to present multiple choices in random order to eliminate a subconscious bias for people to always choose the first answer. 4)Include demographic questions if you want, such as age, sex and income. You can also include personality questions to see what types of people respond to different kinds of advertising, for example. If you only want to hear from certain demographic groups, put these questions at the start and let the survey software automatically screen out those who don't fit within your target group. You can decide whether to allow survey takers to decline answering sensitive questions, such as income, unless that information is vital to the goal of the survey. With some survey software, you can also use branching or skipping logic, which will move ahead to another part of the survey if some questions don't apply. 5)If you want, add some security measures to make sure you're getting thoughtful answers firewall software. You can include a trick question, such as a multiple choice that says, "Click the box that's all the way to the right. " Survey takers who are randomly clicking will miss reading the instructions and click the wrong box. Survey software can also include a timer, so people who finish too fast can be eliminated, if they didn't take time to read the questions and answers. 6)Test your online survey on a few people, such as friends or employees, to make sure it works with several different browsers and that it's clear and easy to understand. Ask them to keep notes of questions that were ambiguous, answers that didn't give them the choices they wanted or parts that were confusing, as well as computer-related issues, such as whether the survey loaded fast and worked properly. 7)Revise the survey based on feedback from the step above and send it out to your target audience. Online survey software can include options for sending the survey to an email list or presenting it to visitors as a pop-up on a website. firewall hardware Once the results are in, you can use the software to see the answers as graphs, charts, as a mean with standard deviation or however you think would be most useful.

10:27 pm	Protect Your Pc From Viruses And Malware With Firewall Computer security is very important to every PC user firewall software. Information technology has taken the center stage and everybody is reaping the benefits of the advancement of technology. Internet is widely used and this makes it very easy for viruses to spread from computer to computer very quickly. Computers that are connected to the internet then there should be security software to block malicious objects from infecting your PC. And firewall is a very important one in this regard. There are many remote computer repair company that offer support for firewall configuration. Dont have any knowledge what firewall is all about Well, a firewall is a security system that basically creates a barrier between a computer or network and the Internet and to protect unauthorized access. The job of firewalls is to monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic and only allow access to certified traffic to pass from side to side the firewall business firewalls. Typically, personal firewalls are software-based systems that are destined toward shielding home PCs from hackers. So, all the computers that are connected with direct Internet connections must contain a firewall. This could be stand-alone programs or they can also come with the operating system. For instance, Windows operating systems comes with a built-in firewall, and these firewall settings must be turned on always. On the other hand, to guard business networks firewalls can be software-based, hardware-based, or a combination of both. You should know what a firewall does by now which is the main reason why you would want one. But you might not be aware of what it's actually doing. Whenever networking traffic is passed through the firewall it will decide exactly what to do. You can set the firewall up with a number of rules to block traffic from certain sources. So, from the discussion it is quite evident that a firewall is imperative to protect your computer and network. Large companies also need firewalls and antivirus applications to protect the network. Now lets take a look at Windows firewall and how setup it business firewalls. To access your Windows firewall you need to go to the Start menu and then to Control Panel and then go to the Security Center or by directly clicking on the Windows Firewall option. The firewall window will open up and there are three options. By default, the firewall is on. To grant access to any application, you need to go to the Exceptions tab and select all the programs you wish to grant access to. In Exceptions tab you can set applications that you would like to allow. If the firewall is completely off, your computer might be at risk as all malicious objects can easily attack on your computer. You should only turn off your firewall only under rare circumstances. Current Mood: jubilant (Comment on this)

4:03 am	Which type of firewall is best for you A firewall is designed to block unwanted outside traffic from reaching your computer system or network while allowing authorized traffic to pass through the firewall and reach its intended destination inside your network. There are over 65,000 ports that are available to allow connections from the Internet to your network. Each port is like a door that allows specific traffic in and out. firewall software A firewall should by default block all ports that are not necessary to reduce the chances of an intruder gaining unauthorized access. Some ports, such as 25 (email) and 80 (web access) will have to remain open on your firewall for necessary services to work. 1. Packet filter: A packet filter doesn't analyze the content of each packet that attempts to access your network; it simply decides whether or not to pass the information through the firewall based on it's port number and IP address. If a service tries to access any port aside from the one it is intended to use, the packet filter firewall will simply discard the message. 2. Proxy firewall: A proxy firewall often disguises the actual IP address of each individual network or computer from each other. A proxy firewall can either simply provide a circuit between the client and the server, or it can read and record each individual command for auditing and accounting purposes. 3. Stateful inspection firewall: With a stateful inspection firewall each individual connection is recorded using a state table that inspects all incoming and outgoing IP addresses and port numbers. Stateful inspection firewalls are the most advanced and offer the fullest protection for your network firewall hardware. It is absolutely essential that you run a firewall on your home network and keep it updated with the latest firewall rules. Most routers can be configured as packet filtering firewalls, and if possible for maximum security a stateful inspection firewall should be set up between your modem and your router.

4:01 am	How to Use Two Wireless Routers Because of the nature of wireless networks, it's a common task to want to connect to multiple wireless routers depending on your location. Configurations differ between home, office and public networks, and it's not convenient to have to change your settings every time you need to connect. The best way to solve this problem is to use two wireless routers together. firewall software 1)Install WiFI drivers. If your computer didn't come with a WiFi card, you need to install your WiFi drivers first. Insert the disc that came with your WiFi card and follow the instructions. 3)Visit each network's location. If each network is broadcasting its Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is the default behavior, Windows should pick up on the networks automatically. You should see a network icon in the bottom right corner of the screen when the networks are detected. 4)Configure each network. While at each network location, configure each network with correct SSID, Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA) key and authentication information if applicable. (Not all networks use authentication.) Each network must be configured properly to be able to connect when you return. 5)Configure networks manually. Sometimes you may choose, or it may be necessary, to configure networks manually. This gives greater control over the network configurations, as well as allowing you to configure a network before you reach the location. 6)Click on "Start -> Connect To -> Show All Connections." If you don't have any networks configured yet, the "Connect To" menu will not be available, in which case you will need to click on "Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections." 7)Use the "Create a New Connection" option. Configure the new network connection, using the directions of the provided wizard. You'll need to know the network settings (SSID and WEP or WPA key) beforehand. You may have to contact the administrator of the network for these setting if you don't already know them. 9)Connect to a specific network by clicking on "Start -> Connect To" and then the name of the network. When you move to a new location and need to connect to a new network, you can access it through the "Connect To" menu. Current Mood: uncomfortable (Comment on this)

11:58 pm	Different Types of Network Attacks or Security Threats and how to counter them. A Network attack or security or security incident is defined as a threat, intrusion, denial of service or other attack on a network infrastructure that will analyze your network and gain information to eventually cause your network to crash or to become corrupted. In many cases, the attacker might not only be interested in exploiting software applications, but also try to obtain unauthorized access to network devices. Unmonitored network devices are the main source of information leakage in organizations. In most organizations, every email message, every web page request, every user logon, and every transmittable file is handled by a network device. Under some setups, telephone service and voice messaging are also handled by network devices. If the attacker is able to "own" your network devices, then they "own" your entire network. Network attacks cut across all categories of software and platform type. Any internet connected device necessarily sends IP datagrams into the network. Such internet data packets carry the sender's IP address as well as application-layer data. If the attacker obtains control over the software software running on a network device, they can then easily modify the device's protocols to place an arbitrary IP address into the data packet's source address field. This is known as IP spoofing, which makes any payload appear to come from any source. With a spoofed source IP address on a datagram, it is difficult to find the host that actually sent the datagram. The countermeasure for spoofing is ingress filtering. Routers usually perform this. Routers that perform ingress filtering check the IP address of incoming datagrams and determine whether the source addresses that are known to be reachable via that interface. If the source addresses that are known to be reachable via that interface. If the source address is not in the valid range, then such packets will be discarded. Packet sniffing is the interception of data packets traversing a network. A sniffer program works at the Ethernet layer in combination with network interface cards (NIC) to capture all traffic traveling to and from internet host site. Further, if any of the Ethernet NIC cards are in promiscuous mode, the sniffer program will pick up all communication packets floating by anywhere near the internet host site. A sniffer placed on any backbone device, inter-network link or network aggregation point will therefore be able to monitor a whole lot of traffic. Most of packet sniffers are passive and they listen all data link layer frames passing by the device's network interface. There are dozens of freely available packet sniffer programs on the internet. The more sophisticated ones allow more active intrusion. The key to detecting packet sniffing is to detect network interfaces that are running in promiscuous mode. Sniffing can be detected two ways: Host-based : Software commands exist that can be run on individual host machines to tell if the NIC is running in promiscuous mode. Network-based : Solutions tend to check for the presence of running processes and log files, which sniffer programs consume a lot of. However, sophisticated intruders almost always hide their tracks by disguising the process and cleaning up the log files. Before attacking a network, attackers would like to know the IP address of machines on the network, the operating systems they use, and the services that they offer. With this information, their attacks can be more focused and are less likely to cause alarm. The process of gathering this information is known as mapping. In general, the majority of network communications occur in an unsecured or "clear text" format, which allows an attacker who has gained access to data paths in your network to "listen in" or interpret the traffic. When an attacker is eavesdropping on your communications, it is referred to as sniffing or snooping. The ability of an eavesdropper to monitor the network is generally the biggest security problem that administrators face in an enterprise. Counter measures are strong encryption services that are based on cryptography only. Otherwise your data can be read by others as it traverses the network. This is a technique that takes advantage of a weakness in the TCP/IP protocol stack, and the way headers are constructed. Hijacking occurs when someone between you and the person with whom you are communicating is actively monitoring, capturing, and controlling your communication transparently. For example, the attacker can re-route a data exchange. When computers are communicating at low levels of the network layer, the computers might not be able to determine with whom they are exchanging data. Man-in-middle attacks are like someone assuming your identity in order to read your message network security. The person on the other end might believe it is you, because the attacker might be actively replying as you, to keep the exchange going and gain more information. These are programs that look like ordinary software, but actually perform unintended or malicious actions behind the scenes when launched. Most remote control spyware programs are of this type. The number of trojan techniques are only limited by the attacker's imagination. A torjanizes file will look, operate, and appear to be the same size as the compromised system file. A denial of service attack is a special kind of Internet attack aimed at large websites. It is a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic. Denial of Service can result when a system, such as a Web server, has been flooded with illegitimate requests, thus making it impossible to respond to real requests or taks. Yahoo! and e-bay were both victims of such attacks in February 2000. A Dos attack can be perpetrated in a number of ways. There are three basic types of attack. Consumption of computational resources, such as band width, disk space or CPU time. Disruption of configuration information, such as routing information. Disruption of physical network components. The consequences of a DoS attack are the following: Unusually slow network performance. Unavailability of a particular web site. Inability to access any web site. Dramatic increase in the amount of spam you receive in your account. The most common kind of DoS attack is simply to send more traffic to a network address than the programmer's expectation on size of buffers. A few of the better known attacks based on the buffer characteristics of a program or system include: Sending e-mail messages that have attachments with 256 character file names to Netscape and Microsoft mail programs. Sending over sized Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets. Ending to a user of an e-mail program a message with a "From" address longer than 256 characters. In this attack, the perpetrator sends an IP ping request to a receiving site. The ping packet specifies that, it is broadcast to a number of hosts within the receiving site's local network. The packet also indicates that the request is from another site, which is the target site that is to receive the denial of service attack. The result will be lots of ping replies flooding back to the innocent, spoofed host. If the flood is great enough, the spoofed host will no longer be able to receive or distinguish real traffic. When a computer wants to make a TCP/IP connection to another computer, usually a server, an exchange of TCP/SYN and TCP/ACK packets of information occur. The computer requesting the connection, usually the client's or user's computer, sends a TCP/SYN packet which asks the server if it can connect. If the server is ready, it sends a TCP/SYN-ACK packet back to the client to say "Yes, you may connect" and reserves a space for the connection, waiting for the client to respond with a TCP/ACK packet. In a SYN flood, the address of the client is often forged so that when the server sends a TCP/SYN-ACK packet back to the client, the message is never received from client because the client either doesn't exist or wasn't expecting the packet and subsequently ignores it network security. This leaves the server with a dead connection, reserved for a client that will never respond. Usually this is done to one server many times in order to reserve all the connections for unresolved clients, which keeps legitimate clients from making connections. A distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) occurs when multiple compromised sysrems or multiple attackers flood the band width or resources of a targeted system with useless traffic. These systems are compromised by attackers using a variety of methods. In DDoS attacks, the attacker first gains access to user accounts on numerous hosts across the Internet. The attacker then installs and runs a slave program at each compromised site that quietly waits for commands from a master programs running, the master program then contacts the slave programs, instructing each of them to launch a denial-of-service attack directed at the same target host. The resulting coordinated attack is particularly devastating, since it comes from so many attacking hosts at the same time. Social engineering is the use of persuasion or deception to gain access to information systems. The medium is usually a telephone or e-mail message. The attacker usually pretends to be a director or manager in the company traveling on business with a deadline to get some important data left on their network drive. They pressure the help desk to give them the toll-free number of the RAS server to dial and some times get their password reset. The main purpose behind social engineering is to place the human element in the network-breaching loop and use it as a weapon network security. The human element has been referred to as the weakest link in network security. Examples of social engineering. Faked Email : The social engineer sends a message to one or more users in a domain that "this is the system administrator and your password must be reset to user 123 " for a temporary period of time. The hacker then continuously monitors for the change and then exploits the whole system. Fictitious Competition : The social engineer manipulates a group of users to participate in some fake competition for a jackpot prize, with the ultimate purpose of eventually extracting confidential information about network and password security. The Helpful Help Desk : The help desk gets a call from the social engineer impersonating a user reporting a forgotten password. In many cases the help desk will change the user's password over the phone. The hacker now has a legitimate user name and password to work with. To avoid problems from the original user, the social engineer will then call the user who was impersonated and say something like " This is Vivek from MIS department. We had some problems with security today, so we have changed your password. Your new password is angel123." Current Mood: morose (Comment on this)
