Malicious code attached to e-mail messages can contain worms or viruses; once one machine becomes infected, highly interconnected e-mail systems allow malware to spread very quickly. How’d we get here? Customers asked for advanced customization features, so Microsoft delivered them as part of the Microsoft Office system. The first really bothersome e-mail viruses were created and spread using the Office macro lan- guage; more recently, the mix of malware has shifted toward attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The integration between Microsoft Outlook, other Office applications, and the Microsoft Windows operating system delivers a great set of benefits, but some malicious people have used those features for ill—no different than almost any other technology. Completely disallowing all forms of scripts and executables is a cure worse than the disease; the ideal remedy would be to teach users not to open untrusted attachments. However, that assumes that users will always do what you tell them to do, and we know better. Fortu- nately, a combination of Outlook features and administrative savvy can be applied to minimize, if not eliminate, the vulnerability.

  • Intricacies and Aiding Software Tools Based on Expected Characteristics
    Article No.12 CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH: INTRICACIES AND AIDING SOFTWARE TOOLS BASED ON EXPECTED CHARACTERISTICS Dr. Munish Sabharwal Executive Director & Professor, KITE Group of Institutions, Meerut (U.P.) Abstract: The research work was conducted with the objectives to find the intricacies faced by students, research practitioners and professionalsduring their research and to suggest the best software alternatives for each category of problems faced by them, based on expected characteristics. Thestudy is intended to help researchersfrom diverse fields, especially those not belonging to information technology and its allied background. This study was pursued by the researcher collecting firsthand information for primary data through a face- to face interview of students, research practitioners and professionals from diverse fields using a structured open ended questionnaire querying about the intricacies faced by them during their research and the characteristics expected by them in the software aiding in research. The analysis is performed in three stages; at the first stage the researcher performs thematic textual analysis on the responses to the questionnaire, short listing the intricacies faced by researchers during their research and the characteristics expected by them in the software aiding in research. Secondly, a keyword search is performed on the shortlisted intricaciesto find the categories of software required to aid the researchers for each type of problem faced by them and then find software alternatives for each category of software along with a brief functional minutiae. Finally theresearcher conducts a thorough study of the related literature, websites, brochure of software companies as well as their products and services and also appliesobservation and application method examining the various short listed software alternatives for each category based on expected characteristics to suggests the best software alternatives for each category of intricacies faced by researchers.

  • Linux Strategies and Solutions Linux Server Suppliers Contend for Leadership
    Linux Strategies and Solutions Linux Server Suppliers Contend for Leadership Pierre Fricke, Executive Vice President, Web Application and PLM Infrastructure EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Linux has become a mainstream operating environment for infrastructure solutions, “edge of network” applications, development platforms, and technical computing. Nearly all platform suppliers across the industry have embraced Linux and have been enhancing and tuning their strategies to meet their customer requirements. However, a few leading system suppliers view Linux as disruptive, developed by the iconoclastic open source process. The danger they see is that the proprietary nature of the server industry will disappear, opening wide new choices to customers. But the open source arena can also open new horizons. Some see Linux as an open enabler of and entrée to new markets such as pervasive computing devices. All of the vendors studied maintain hybrid strategies, offering choice to their customers. With the continued significant investment by all of these major vendors, Linux’s evolution and maturity is proceeding at a rapid pace. Indeed, Linux offers the opportunity to drive commodity Intel-based technology server building blocks into the mainstream enterprise IT application space. For example, early adopters are already building significant SAP R/3 and Oracle deployments on Linux. This report reviews the strategies of five leading Linux system suppliers: Compaq, Dell, HP, IBM, and Sun Microsystems. POSITIONING AND STRATEGIES Reversing recent history, all of these leading suppliers hold aggressive positions on Linux. Each has built relationships with the leading Linux distribution suppliers or at least the Linux community in the case of Sun Cobalt. Since Linux has enjoyed much of its success in the Internet and networking community, all of the suppliers positioned their Linux offerings initially to address the Internet infrastructure segment, which has grown into the “edge of the network” segment.
