Clearing of Cache & Cookies
Clearing of Cache & Cookies What is cache? Cache memory is temporary memory used to store information that you accessed when visiting web sites. Cache speeds up a computer’s connection time with web sites that have been visited previously by locally storing information about that connection on the computer so that it does not have to be downloaded each time a site is visited. Why should cache be cleared periodically? Cache can become corrupt or outdated. As a result, cache can slow down or prevent a web page’s output and/or connection instead of assisting it. Clearing cache deletes corrupt or outdated data. It also removes unnecessary information stored in memory from sites that were only visited one time. Clearing Cache helps all web surfing not just PAWS. Internet Explorer 8 1. Open the Internet Explorer web browser. 2. Click on Tools. 3. Select Internet Options. 4.

Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

Proxy Auto-Config Files
APPENDIX B Proxy Auto-Config Files Revised: July 15, 2010 Overview Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) is a method used by Web browsers to select a proxy for a given URL. The method for choosing a proxy is written as a JavaScript function contained in a PAC file. This file can be hosted locally or on a network. Browsers can be configured to use the file either manually or, in Microsoft Windows environments, automatically using Group Policy Objects. This appendix explains the basics of using PAC files. How PAC Files Work A PAC file is referenced each time a new URL is loaded. The host, for example cnn.com, the URL, for example cnn.com/images/logo.jpg, and other information such as the local machine IP address can be evaluated and rules based on this information used to determine whether to send the traffic via a proxy or direct to the Internet. The following example compares the URL requested by the user, with the URL ipcheckit.com/data/. If the URLs match, the PAC file will instruct the browser to send the request direct to the Internet. This can be used if you need to exception a section of a Web site from going via the Web Scanning Services; if the user had requested only ipcheckit.com, this rule would not apply: if (shExpMatch(url,"ipcheckit.com/data/*")) return "DIRECT"; In the next example the local IP address of the machine making a Web request is evaluated. If the IP address falls within the IP address range 10.10.1.* then the PAC file will send the request to proxy182.scansafe.net.

In order to do Java detection, you will need 2 things: 1) download the getJavaInfo.jar applet along with a few Java detection examples. The jarfile (Java ARchive file) is used by PluginDetect in order to accomplish Java detection. 2) download the PluginDetect script itself. The PluginDetect script generator will allow you to customize the PluginDetect script to include whatever features you desire. That being said, I would still recommend that you read thru most of this page before creating your own Java detection code. A brief introduction to Java detection PluginDetect uses a number of different methods when trying to detect Java in your browser. These Java detection methods can be divided into 2 groups: a) the non-applet methods and b) the applet methods.

Defending Against Malicious Cyber Activity Originating From
TLP:WHITE Product ID: A20-183A July 1, 2020 Defending Against Malicious Cyber Activity Originating from Tor This advisory—written by the Cybersecurity Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with contributions from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)—highlights risks associated with Tor, along with technical details and recommendations for mitigation. Cyber threat actors can use Tor software and network infrastructure for anonymity and obfuscation purposes to clandestinely conduct malicious cyber operations.1,2,3 Tor (aka The Onion Router) is software that allows users to browse the web anonymously by encrypting and routing requests through multiple relay layers or nodes. This software is maintained by the Tor Project, a nonprofit organization that provides internet anonymity and anti-censorship tools. While Tor can be used to promote democracy and free, anonymous use of the internet, it also provides an avenue for malicious actors to conceal their activity because identity and point of origin cannot be determined for a Tor software user. Using the Onion Routing Protocol, Tor software obfuscates a user’s identity from anyone seeking to monitor online activity (e.g., nation states, surveillance organizations, information security tools). This is possible because the online activity of someone using Tor software appears to originate from the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a Tor exit node, as opposed to the IP address of the user’s computer. CISA and the FBI recommend that organizations assess their individual risk of compromise via Tor and take appropriate mitigations to block or closely monitor inbound and outbound traffic from known Tor nodes. 1 CISA Alert published April 2020: Continued Threat Actor Exploitation Post Pulse Secure VPN Patching.

Network protocols define the way data is transported between computers in a networked environment. Network protocols completely hide business functionality from higher level services and protocols, which can simply assume that, by providing the assigned name of another computer and company can transit a message or open a continuous communication stream without dealing with the intricacies of data transport. Populates Internet began to grow rapidly like expands with new tools, that is the new standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Hypertext Markup Language were introduced to the public. Hypertext Transfer Protocol to make accessing information through the Transfer Control Protocol or Internet Protocol is easier than ever. Hypertext Markup Language allows people to present information that is visually more interesting. Appearance of Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Hypertext Markup Language made people knows so popular, that is often considered synonymous with the Internet itself to the World Wide Web. The purpose of this paper is that knowing what kinds of security methods are appropriate for this Hypertext Transfer Protocol service and then explanations on World Wide Web and Hypertext Transfer Protocol works mechanisms. Proving the security methods of the answers obtained from what are assumed from the issues and included all models. Keywords: Network Protocols, Hypertext Transfer Protocol, Hypertext Markup Language, Transfer Control Protocol, Security, Business. 1.
