A disassembler is a software that is able to convert an executable language into an assembly language, allowing users to view the individual commands that make a program work. A disassembler is ideal for programming applications because it can be useful when a programmer is attempting to create a similar program to one he/she already has or combine features from two or more programs. Because an “assembler” converts assembly language into executable language, a “disassembler” is considered to be the exact opposite of an assembler.   How Disassemblers Work Disassemblers Read More

Softswitch, a resounding term in telephony solutions, is the concept of connecting two lines or feeds together entirely through the use of software. A softswitch can also refer to the actual device that is situated in a telephone network that processes data transmissions. The word "Softswitch" is hardly ever used anymore but refers to the same device as a Media Gateway Controller or an Access Gateway Control Function (AGCF). A softswitch is used to replace the old method of connecting telephone lines manually that required large staffs and expensive switchboards. Read More

Localhost is the term used in computer networking to refer to the IP address of the local computer. The localhost address physically refers to the network interface card’s loopback interface on the computer. The IP address for the localhost is 127.0.0.1 in the legacy IP v4 definition and is ::1 in the emerging IP v6 standard. The localhost IP address is used to conduct computer networking on a client computer using the loopback interface on a network interface card (NIC). What is the Localhost Used For? Use of the localhost Read More

Steroid use is becoming more and more common in both sports and the general public. Steroids refer to specific types of synthetic hormones that are able to enact change within the body by interacting with cell receptors. Steroids can be both good and bad, depending on how they are used and for how long. Steroids often present a major ethical issue on whether or not they should be allowed in sports. Steroid use without a prescription from a valid doctor is currently illegal. Anabolic Steroids The term "anabolic steroid" refers Read More

The ARP cache is a table that stores mappings between Data Link Layer addresses and Network Layer addresses. The Data Link Layer addresses are usually MAC addresses and the Network Layer addresses are most frequently IP addresses. The Operating System stores the ARP cache in RAM. Displaying the ARP Cache Under most Unix and Microsoft Windows versions, the command `arp -a` displays the ARP cache. Unix ARP Cache Example $ arp -a www.byteguide.com (192.168.1.2) at 00:34:c4:45:73:21 on fxp0 permanent [ethernet] fw.byteguide.com (192.168.1.1) at 00:34:62:a1:c2:00 on fxp0 [ethernet] Microsoft Windows ARP Read More

This method traverses a list sequentially to locate the search key. The algorithm that one chooses generally depends on the organization of the array elements. If the elements are in random order, then one should choose the linear search technique. Algorithm linearsearch (a,n,item,loc) Here "a" is an array of the size n. This algorithm finds the location of the element "item" in the array "a". If search item is found, it sets loc to the index of the element; otherwise, it sets loc to -1 Begin for i=0 to (n-1) Read More

Google and Bing are the two most popular search engines in the world. While Google is still dominant, Bing has been gaining traction as a de facto number two. Here is an overview of the differences between them. Search Results Probably the most important difference is in the algorithm being used to determine how a search engine displays and ranks its search results. Since the actual algorithm is a necessarily well guarded secret, each algorithm’s exact specifics cannot be determined, but one can get some idea of the differences by Read More
