| Article Title :: Disguising Spy Bugs |
| |
| If you are going to be using spy bugs in order to collect information or gather evidence, it is very important that you find the proper disguise. You do not want to raise suspicions. Simply placing a small electronic device in an area is a bad idea. It obvious looks like a spy bug. Even if it is not noticed immediately, eventually someone will see it and get suspicious. And once those suspicions enter, it is harder to use spy bugs in the future to find the information you need.

| Article Title :: Background of Password cracking |
| |
| Passwords to access computer systems are usually stored, in some form, in a database in order for the system to perform password verification. To enhance the privacy of passwords, the stored password verification data is generally produced by applying a one-way function to the password, possibly in combination with other available data. For simplicity of this discussion, when the one-way function does not incorporate a secret key, other than the password, we refer to the one way function employed as a hash and its output as a hashed password. Even though functions that create hashed passwords may be cryptographically secure, possession of a hashed password provides a quick way to verify gues (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Identity theft basics |
| |
| Identity theft is one of the latest buzzword within our society in recent times. Identity theft refers to hiding oneÂ’s original identity and illegally misusing someone elseÂ’s identity.

| Article Title :: Don't Get Lured Into This Phishing Scam |
| |
| One good thing about writing articles for a living is that I get to learn about new things. Since I spend most of my time in front of a computer, it seems I don't get out much and unless it's on the nightly news, I don't usually hear about computer scams. That's how I found out about Phishing Scams. I had never heard of such a thing until I was asked to write an article about it, and I'm glad that I was asked. I now know what a Phishing scam is and I'm happy to share this information with you, in case your not very computer savvy either.

| Article Title :: What Are Intrusion Detection Systems? |

Intrusion detection systems are programmed to detect attempted malicious attacks or intrusions by computer hackers trying to get into your system by detecting inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous activity. There does seem to be some question of how well this system works when many pe (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 14 Household Ways To Protect Your Computer From Viruses |
| |
| Computer viruses are deadly. They often spread without any apparent contact and can be a nuisance, or even worse, fatal to your computer. Individuals who create these viruses, estimated at 10-15 new ones a day, are the electronic version of terrorists. Their goal is to inflict havoc and destruction on as many people as possible by disabling, stealing, damaging, or destroying computer and information resources. Often, they have no specific target in mind, so no one is safe. If you access the internet, share files or your computer with others, or load anything from diskettes, CDs, or DVDs onto your computer, you are vulnerable to viruses.
