ILOVEYOU Virus



The ILOVEYOU virus is viewed as a standout amongst the most harmful PC infection ever




The ILOVEYOU infection arrives in an email note with "I LOVE YOU" in the headline and contains a connection that, when opened, brings about the message being re-sent to everybody in the beneficiary's Microsoft Outlook address book and, maybe more truly, the loss of each JPEG, MP3, and certain different documents on the beneficiary's hard plate. Since Microsoft Outlook is broadly introduced as the email handler in corporate systems, the ILOVEYOU infection can spread quickly from client to client inside a partnership. On May 4, 2000, the infection spread so rapidly that email must be closed down in various real undertakings, for example, the Ford Motor Company. The infection came to an expected 45 million clients in a solitary day.

The connection in the ILOVEYOU infection is a VBScript program that, when opened (for instance, by double tapping on it with your mouse), finds the beneficiary's Outlook address book and re-sends the note to everybody in it. It at that point overwrites (and along these lines wrecks) all records of the accompanying document sorts: JPEG, MP3, VPOS, JS, JSE, CSS, WSH, SCT and HTA. Clients who don't have a reinforcement duplicate will have lost these documents. (In March 1999, an infection named Melissa infection likewise duplicated itself by utilizing Outlook address books, however was less unsafe in decimating client documents.) The ILOVEYOU infection additionally resets the beneficiary's Internet Explorer begin page in a way that may create additional inconvenience, resets certain Windows registry settings, and furthermore acts to spread itself through Internet Relay Chat (Internet Relay Chat). 


One of the initial steps organizations used to avert the ILOVEYOU infection was to screen out notes with ILOVEYOU in the headline. Notwithstanding, programmers immediately presented copycat varieties with titles differently recognizing "JOKE" and "Mother's Day!" as the substance, yet containing the same or comparable VBScript code. No less than 12 varieties have been recognized. The most vile change is without a doubt the one with the title containing "Infection ALERT!!!" Posing as an infection settle from Symantec, the note begins with "Dear Symantec Customer." The connection (which ought not be opened) is "protect.vbs."

Organizations and clients are encouraged to get or refresh hostile to infection programming that can help screen for the infection and expel it for clients whose frameworks have been contaminated. Clients are constantly prompted never to open an email connection without screening it with against infection programming or knowing precisely who sent it and what it is.

Fake WAP

Fake WAP There are a horde of things out there that goes under the general name 'hacking.' But what precisely are these demonstrations and what is the completely most effortless one for programmers to finish? This is a stealth assault, similar to a lethal ninja, known as a phony remote access point (Fake WAP). You may likewise know it as a 'man in the center' assault. Programmers can do this effectively enough, taking your information covertly with the goal that you're unaware. More regrettable yet, you'll HELP them do it! A VPN is your vital component to ensuring this doesn't transpire, regardless of the possibility that you do fall into their trap. As a reward, I get the chance to add pictures of ninjas to this post and it absolutely bodes well. What is a fake wireless access point This is the point at which a programmer utilizes a basic bit of programming and a remote system get to card. They will utilize these and go out into the general

The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol

The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol This segment depends on a prerelease adaptation of Windows Server 2008. All data in this is liable to change. Virtual private system (VPN) bolster in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 enables you to interface with your private intranet over the Internet, similarly as though your PC was connected to a neighborhood Ethernet port. Nonetheless, the VPN conventions in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 don't work for some firewall arrangements what's more, for some circuitous arrangements, for example, when your PC is behind a Network Address Translator (NAT) or Web intermediary server—in which the movement for VPN associations is being blocked. To determine these challenges, Windows Server® 2008 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 incorporate help for the new Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP). VPN Access Problems In Windows® XP and Windows Server 2003, the VPN conventions that empower remote access associations with an intranet

Shift cipher

Shift cipher Modular Math and the Shift Cipher The Caesar Cipher is a type of  shift cipher . Shift Ciphers work by using the modulo operator to encrypt and decrypt messages. The Shift Cipher has a  key K , which is an  integer from 0 to 25 . We will only share this key with people that we want to see our message. How to Encrypt: For every letter in the message  M  : 1.  Convert the letter into the number that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0, and call this number  X . ( A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) 2.  Calculate:  Y  =  (X + K)  mod  26 3.  Convert the number  Y  into a letter that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0. (A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) For Example:  We agree with our friend to use the Shift Cipher with  key K=19 for our message.  We encrypt the message  "KHAN",  as follows:​ So, after applying the Shift Cipher with key K=19 our message t
