Postscript in printers is a page description language and the embodyment of that language on a chip inside a printer. It is an Adobe invention and protected by either copyright or patent law. Anyway, Postscript is open published code, and printer manufactures can choose to license from Adobe, or build their own interpreter based on the PS specifications to avoid the fee structures charged by Adobe. Some do a better job then others. Continue reading
Having an SMTP server which can deliver email to the Internet is great when conducting experiment in network environment. There are quite a number of SMTP server software available. In this article, we will use Mercury/32, a SMTP server which is included in the XAMPP package as an example for relaying email to the Internet through Gmail gateway – the Google email system.
Following are some of the steps involves in configuring Mercury/32 to use Gmail SMTP gateway as it’s SMTP relay host.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol used by networked devices to obtain information required to operate on an Internet Protocol network.
When a DHCP client is first switched on, it sends a broadcast packet on the network with a DHCP request. If there is a DHCP server exists in the network, this request will be picked up by the DHCP server. The DHCP server will allocate an IP address to the PC, from one of the pools of addresses it managed.
DHCP clients use a broadcast packet to find a DHCP server, so if a client is on one side of a router, and the server on the other, normally these broadcast packets will be filtered out. Many routers today include support for DHCP- forwarding, but it is not enabled by default.
Many system administrators do not realize that DHCP service can be enabled in Cisco devices. In this article, we will show the method on configuring DHCP on a Cisco router. Continue reading
Clustering is the connection of multiple computers together in such a way that to the outside world, the cluster appears to be a single system. Each computer in a cluster is referred to as a node.
Business suffers when work stops because of critical service is offline. A properly installed and configured cluster provides continued operation during hardware failure, software failure, and/or planned maintenance. Ability to recover from failed server hardware and failed software is the main benefit of clustering.
Windows Server 2003 clustering consists of two different technologies: Server Cluster and Network Load Balancing (NLB). Each of these technologies can be used to provide high availability for different types of services. Continue reading
It is only a matter of time before an unsecured system becomes contaminated and losing valuable data. In addition, poorly secured system that is compromised can be used for a number of illegal activities. It was reported that several major Internet sites were disabled by attacks that were launch through the use of thousands of these devices.
Whether it is a Windows PC, router, switches, Linux machine or network enable device, it is recommended to stop unnecessary services that are run by default. Every running, but unused, service on your system is an unnecessary security vulnerability. Users may not even be aware that many of these services are running. Each additional service running on it may be a possible avenue for a network cracker to penetrate the system.
It is important to know the security implication of any network service before enabling it in. For example, if the telnet service is activated, a telnet client running on another device on the network can easily establish a telnet session to the system; it needs only the address of the system and the port or socket number of the network service running on the system. The rule of thumb for TCP and UDP ports is: Turn off any services or listeners that you do not need for your application to function. One way to check the list of ports running on your system is to go to one of the many web sites that can run a remote scan of your system and tell you how secure the system. Continue reading
