0 Day, or Zero Day, refers to a type of malware which attacks a computer or application by exploiting vulnerabilities that the developer of that application does not yet know about. In traditional sense, 0 Day refers to the first day that a developer notices a vulnerability in an application he/she created and begins creating a fix for that vulnerability. Therefore, 0 Day attacks can theoretically be carried out any time between the release of the application and the discovery of the vulnerability by the developer.   How 0 Day Attacks Read More

A BIN file is a binary file that can be anything from a ROM for a game emulator to a data image for a specific program. Unlike normal files like .exe, .doc, or .xls, .bin files do not have an actual program that can be used to access them. However, they are widely used in many platforms. BIN files can be a Macbinary II encoded file, which is a compressed file commonly used for transferring Mac files through the Internet. It can also be a CDRWin CD Image, which is Read More

Monitoring SMS Activity You can use Performance Monitor utility to track various processes on a Windows system in real time. The utility uses a graphical display that you can use to view current data, or log data. You can specify specific elements or components that should be tracked. You can determine resource usage by monitoring trends. With Performance Monitor, objects, counters and instances are used to monitor the system. An object is a collection of counters which are associated with a system resource or service. As the object executes a Read More

An oscillator is a circuit that creates a waveform output from a direct current input. The two main types of oscillator are harmonic and relaxation. The harmonic oscillators have smooth curved waveforms, while relaxation oscillators have waveforms with sharp changes. How Oscillators Work A basic oscillator is a capacitor and inductor connected together. As the capacitor discharges, the current creates a magnetic field in the inductor. When the capacitor is fully discharged, the field collapses and induces an opposite current that charges the capacitor again. This cycle continues until all Read More

Slideshows are great for presentations, lectures, advertising, education, pictures, and much more. Slideshows are easy to create and can be built in a matter of minutes. Slideshows can include text, music, images, videos, and even special features such as scrolling pages, highlighted text, and objects that move around the screen. In order to create a slideshow, the user will need to implement a slideshow software that is capable of creating slideshows and embedding them into a specific file or webpage. This article will illustrate this by listing a number of Read More

A Component Video Signal is basically a video signal that is split into two or more components in order to transmit the information. Component video offers better picture quality than composite video. Three cables are required for transmitting the information and three RCA or co-axial jack forms the interface of the component video which is one of the high-end video interfaces being offered in today's equipments. Audio data is not carried by the component video cables and so, additional audio cables are required. Component video is capable of carrying the Read More

FCAPS is an ITU standard model for enterprise management. The five FCAPS domains are: Fault Management Configuration Management Accounting Management Performance Management Security Management Fault Management Fault management is the domain where network problems are discovered and corrected. Steps are then taken to prevent them from occurring or recurring. By doing so, the network remains operational and downtime is minimized. Configuration Management Configuration management is where daily operations are monitored and controlled. All hardware and programming changes are coordinated. In addition, new programs, new equipment, modification of existing systems and Read More

An Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) cable is one of the most used standard electronic interface cables that connects a motherboard’s data bus with storage media. The interface’s design is based on the IMB Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) 16-bit bus standard that was approved in 1990, and it has since been expanded to be used on motherboards that use other bus standards. The IDE standard has since been updated with the Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE) connection design and is often built into a motherboard as well. The next generation of Read More

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone is a rubber polymer used to create molds, prototypes, and sealant. It is extremely flexible and quite tear resistant. It is made up of two separate components: a base and a curative. RTV silicone can be poured, sprayed, brushed, or pumped onto a surface. Either moisture or heat dries it, depending on the specific product. How RTV Silicone is Made RTV silicone is made through a process known as vulcanization. This process involves mixing rubber polymers with additives such as sulfur in order to make Read More
