Internet Explorer 9 Features m National Institute of Information Technologies NIIT White Paper On “What is New in Internet Explorer 9” Submitted by: Md. Yusuf Hasan Student ID: S093022200027 Year: 1st Quarter: 2nd Program: M.M.S Date - 08 June 2010 Dhaka - Bangladesh Internet Explorer History Abstract: In the early 90s—the dawn of history as far as the World Wide Web is concerned—relatively few users were communicating across this Internet Explorer 9 (abbreviated as IE9) is the upcoming global network. They used an assortment of shareware and other version of the Internet Explorer web browser from software for Microsoft Windows operating system. In 1995, Microsoft Microsoft. It is currently in development, but developer hosted an Internet Strategy Day and announced its commitment to adding Internet capabilities to all its products. In fulfillment of that previews have been released. announcement, Microsoft Internet Explorer arrived as both a graphical Web browser and the name for a set of technologies. IE9 will have complete or nearly complete support for all 1995: Internet Explorer 1.0: In July 1995, Microsoft released the CSS 3 selectors, border-radius CSS 3 property, faster Windows 95 operating system, which included built-in support for JavaScript and embedded ICC v2 or v4 color profiles dial-up networking and TCP/IP (Transmission Control support via Windows Color System. IE9 will feature Protocol/Internet Protocol), key technologies for connecting to the hardware accelerated graphics rendering using Direct2D, Internet. In response to the growing public interest in the Internet, Microsoft created an add-on to the operating system called Internet hardware accelerated text rendering using Direct Write, Explorer 1.0. hardware accelerated video rendering using Media 1995: Internet Explorer 2.0: In November 1995, Microsoft released its Foundation, imaging support provided by Windows first cross-platform browser, Internet Explorer 2.0, which supported Imaging Component, and high fidelity printing powered both Macintosh and 32-bit Windows users. by the XPS print pipeline. During the October 2009 Typ09 conference, Microsoft was reported as saying that it was 1996: Internet Explorer 3.0: In August 1996, Microsoft released its completely rebuilt Internet Explorer technology, which included considering supporting WOFF in IE9. WOFF is "a strong features that were revolutionary for the time. Designed for Windows favorite" for standardization by the World Wide Web 95, Internet Explorer 3.0 technology offered useful components that Consortium (W3C) Web Fonts Working Group. immediately appealed to users, including Internet Mail and News 1.0 and Windows Address Book. Later, Microsoft NetMeeting® and Windows Media Player were added. At MIX 10, a new preview was released that featured support for CSS3 and SVG, a new JavaScript engine called 1997: Internet Explorer 4.0: Designed for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT®, Internet Explorer 4.0 technology was a significant Chakra, and a score of 55/100 on the Acid3 test, up from move forward. For Web developers, the addition of Dynamic HTML 20/100 for IE8. This preview is expected to be updated (DHTML) heralded the next step in Web design. DHTML gave Web approximately every eight weeks, functions in parallel developers more control over content and style and created with any other installed browsers, and is a preview of the opportunities that previously had been possible only with software applications. renderer technology only, lacking traditional chrome elements such as an address bar and navigation buttons. 1998: Internet Explorer 5.0: With the September 1998 release of Internet Explorer 5.0 technology, developers gained the ability to design richer Web applications.

It is supported in Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 on both 32-bit as well as 64- bit architectures. It includes support for Accelerators - which allow supported web applications to be invoked without explicitly navigating to them - and Web Slices - which allows portions of page to be subscribed to and monitored from a redesigned Favorites Bar. Other features include In Private privacy features, and Smart Screen phishing filter. 03 Internet Explorer 9 Features 1. New JavaScript engine supports modern hardware. 2. Same Standard Markup works.

Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview Build is already available for download and testing purpose. Should be noted that it’s not complete browser just platform preview to browser websites and test IE 9 features. 04 Internet Explorer 9: A Fresh Start, With HTML5 Ninth time's the charm, sometimes! At least that's Microsoft's hope with IE9, which they've just announced at Mix, brings new HTML5 support (including HTML5 video!), hardware-accelerated 2D graphics, and a totally new JavaScript engine—and no XP support. Microsoft's just demoed the latest build of IE9, the final version of which doesn't yet have a release date, and for something as sleepy as a browser, it's pretty cool. Here's what's new: HTML5 HTML5 is basically the talk of the town right now, assuming your town is populated exclusively by web developers and Apple apologists. It's magic! It's going to save the internet! It's going to kill Flash! Etc. But really, it's more subtle than that: It's the next version of the entire language that underlies the web—HTML—and it supports a lot of interesting features, which will make websites behave more like apps. Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera have pretty much left Microsoft in the dust in terms for HTML5 support. Until now! Here are the HTML5 features Microsoft says IE9 will support: • h.264 video: When people talk about HTML5 killing Flash, this is what they're talking about. Some video sites, like YouTube and Vimeo, have been experimenting with video playback that doesn't require a plugin to play. h.264 is the format standard the big sites have chosen to go with, and now Internet Explorer will support it. • Embedded Audio: Just as the video tag allows for video to be embedded directly into a page without a plugin, the audio tag allows audio files to be embedded straight into the page. IE9 supports MP3/AAC codecs. • Scalable Vector Graphics: Scalable vector graphics allow for the creation of certain types of graphics that scale perfectly—because they're drawn as vectors, not plain images. It can also allow for rudimentary, Flash-style animations. • CSS3: CSS is essentially what the web is formatted with, and Internet Explorer's various CSS compatibilities have been maddening since, well, forever. IE9 supports more standards-based CSS3—including Selectors, Namespaces, Color, Values, Backgrounds and Borders and fonts—and should support more before launch. They're finally trying, is the point. 05 The New JavaScript Engine Modern web apps are loaded with JavaScript, to the point that new browsers are practically measured by how fast they can render it. (A faster JavaScript engine means sites like Gmail, Facebook and even Gizmodo don't just load faster, but run more quickly.) Here's how Microsoft says IE9 measures up right now: Keep in mind that this is a WebKit-designed test, and that IE9 isn't ready for release yet—Microsoft says they'll still improve the rendering speed. And really, while IE9 might not outpace the fastest browsers out there, it's at least close and hilariously faster than IE8. In the onstage demo, IE9 didn't do terribly well on the Acid3 test, either, scoring a mediocre 55/100, which they vowed to improve. But again, they're at least trying, and when you've got the market share (and history of ignoring standards) that Microsoft does, this is, again, worth a lot. 2D Acceleration Internet Explorer nine adds DirectX video acceleration for SVG graphics and even text rendering, which will make some SVG graphics and CSS3 rendering faster, but also applies to text rendering, which makes the entire browsing process a bit smoother. HTML5 video rendering is much, much smoother than in Chrome (demonstrated onstage), simply because of Direct2D video rendering—Microsoft was able to demonstrate two 720p HD videos playing smoothly in the same browser window, while Chrome choked on just one. Getting this acceleration doesn't require any extra code on the website's part, though developers won't be able to depend on this kind of video acceleration in their webpages, since it's unique to IE9 and Windows, for now.

  • Strategies of Computer Worms

Computer worms primarily replicate on networks, but they represent a subclass of computer viruses. Interestingly enough, even in security research communities, many people imply that computer worms are dramatically different from computer viruses. In fact, even within CARO (Computer Antivirus Researchers Organization), researchers do not share a common view about what exactly can be classified as a “worm.” We wish to share a common view, but well, at least a few of us agree that all computer worms are ultimately viruses1. Let me explain. The network-oriented infection strategy is indeed a primary difference between viruses and computer worms. Moreover, worms usually do not need to infect files but propagate as standalone programs. Additionally, several worms can take con- trol of remote systems without any help from the users, usually exploiting a vul- nerability or set of vulnerabilities. These usual characteristics of computer worms, however, do not always hold. Table 9.1 shows several well-known threats. Table
