WEB DATABASES ETC

As A Summary Of Those Discussed I Would Like To Remind You That

When it comes to Server-level redundancy we can think of two or more servers that offer the same services (e.g. web, databases, etc.). Or we can even refer to storage discs (HDDs or SSDs) that can be "linked" together to provide redundancy using a technology called RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).

b) Backup

We all know how important the backups are. Both hard disks (SSD) and site-level, configuration files, code, etc. Recurring backups can "save our skin" very often because it is a copy of everything we have lived in a system.

For example, in the case of a Ransomware attack (which) if we do not want to pay the amount required by hackers, the only option we have is the backup (specifically, the restoration of an existing one that will bring that system back to life.

Unfortunately, in this case, if backups are not done quite often (at least weekly if not daily) then a partial loss of the most recent changes will be achieved.

What we have discussed so far is the basics of data security (both those running through the Internet and those that "stay" stored on a hard disk / SSD).

As a summary of those discussed, I would like to remind you that:

To find a particular word used in commands say “Keyword filter” and in the window that opens dictate the word in the ‘Choose word’ box. Now say “Add” and if there are other words you want to filter for you can repeat the process. When you’re ready say “Done” and this will take you straight away to your results.

This is where the fun begins! With some commands it’s fairly obvious what you need to say and once you’ve found what you’re looking for you can quit the Command Browser by saying “Close”.

We’ll start with a fairly straightforward example

import [custom] words [from [a] list]

In any command a word that is in [square brackets] is optional, so for the ‘import’ command all you actually have to say is “Import words”. However, the way it is arranged you can say any of the following:

import words

import custom words

import custom words from a list

import custom words from list

import words from a list

import words from list

#The point with all these variations is to find something that you feel comfortable actually saying, as well as something that you will remember. #

Moving on to our next example.

ItS A Tiny Bit Like That

its a tiny bit like that

Check out my journal on Amazon (for a limited time) if you want a peek at the shaded look. You can see it just by clicking on the cover to get a preview of the first few pages. It’ll take me some time to get that redone and to update the book file on CreateSpace, and it’ll take another day or three for Amazon to post the less shady, updated version.

You can totally copy and paste text from one Word document to another or from one place in your Word document to somewhere else. But if you’re wanting to copy and paste text from another program – whether it’s Canva, Google Docs, or Scrivener – I can tell you from my experience that copying and pasting from Canva will make your text print with shading. As for the other two – or other programs – I’d pay close attention when uploading your interior file – to how they look on CreateSpace’s Interior Previewer. If they look shady, and you’d rather they didn’t, you’ll have to redo your interior without copying and pasting from those programs.

It may help, though, to copy and paste the content to a text file, first, and then to your Word doc – stripping it of any subversive formatting elements from its previous home. Think of it as giving a new dog a flea dip and all its shots before letting it into your home to play with your kids. It’s a tiny bit like that.

I dont want to mix data

Regression outputs can take on any value because you’re not trying to predict a class, you’re trying to predict a number.

model.compile(

loss=mse,

optimizer=adam,

)

Accordingly, we also don’t want to use the categorical_crossentropy loss, because that’s for classification. Instead, we want the mean squared error, specified as “mse”.

As usual, we use the “adam” optimizer.

Next, we fit the data:

r = model.fit(

inputs[:-N//2], Y[:-N//2],

batch_size=32,

epochs=80,

validation_data=(inputs[-N//2:], Y[-N//2:]),

)

I’ve selected the first half of the data to be the training samples and the second half to be the validation samples. Why?

Unlike with classification, where we can shuffle the data, this doesn’t really make sense when you’re dealing with time series.

Earlier, I used the example of the stock market and the idea that we would like to predict the future.

For classification, it makes sense to shuffle your data because it’s not time-dependent, a picture of a cat looks like a picture of a cat no matter when it was taken. A picture of a cat from the future will probably look similar.

For time series, this idea of the “future” really matters. I don’t want to mix data. Suppose I have data from days 1, 2, 3, …, 10.

WHILE MANY PEOPLE STILL FEEL THAT A HACKER IS SOMEONE WHO IS ONLY UP TO

While many people still feel that a hacker is someone who is only up to

While hacking has been around for a bit, it wasn’t until the 1970’s when the first ethical hacking process began. The United States realized that they were in possession of a lot of personal information and that black hats would love to get this information. The government decided to call in experts, who were known as red teams, to hack into the computer systems and find vulnerabilities. This soon became a significant industry within the information security market, and many big corporations now include this kind of work in their infrastructure in order to keep safe.

Now that so much personal information is being shared over the internet, there are various standards in place that require all organizations that connect to the internet to have a penetration test. This is basically a test that the organization has to go through to ensure that their information is safe and that the loopholes are all taken care of. Smaller organizations may hire an ethical hacker to help out with this on occasion to keep up to date, and bigger companies will have whole teams that work for them full time to keep intruders out.

There are many ways that an ethical hacker can help out their clients, and it is becoming a growing field. While many people still feel that a hacker is someone who is only up to mischief or interested in stealing information, there are many more hackers who work in an ethical way to help keep computer networks safe. They may use some of the same techniques as their black hat counterparts, but they use them for good rather than evil.

Probability is therefore a measure of likelihood

Probability is therefore a measure of likelihood

In the figure above, the first plot shows positive correlation between two variables in a 2-dimensional plane. What it means is that as the independent variable on the horizontal axis increases, the dependent variable on the vertical axis also increases. If we trace the set of points, we can see that the direction of movement is upwards. The second plot depicts negative correlation. As the independent variable increases on the x-axis, the dependent variable decreases down the y-axis. Similarly, if we trace the direction of points, we would notice that it tends downwards towards the negative side of the plot. This is how we know that the variables are negatively correlated. Finally, in the last case, we see a plot that has no identifiable patterns, the distribution of both variables are not related to each other. An increase or decrease in one variable does not cause a corresponding shift in the other. We therefore conclude that the third plot shows no correlation between variables.

Probability

Dependence and Independence

Probability is a measure of how likely we feel an event would occur. Probability is therefore a measure of likelihood. It is usually a value between 0 and 1 with 0 indicating impossibility, that is the event would never occur and 1 means certainty, the event is sure to occur.

If You Sell To Golfers Talk About Not Being Able To Hit The Ball

If You Sell To Golfers Talk About Not Being Able To Hit The Ball

And that my friend, is what caused me to take action.

Pain and frustration.

Wanting something to stop.

Are you seeing how this is applicable to your business yet?

If not, you’re as dense as my wife’s hamburgers.

Look, when you want a prospect to respond to your call to action (Click a link, buy, or sign up), you must know what their pain or frustration is.

Once you know what that is, you then go about agitating that pain. You know, rub salt on their wound, so to speak.

If they’re an internet marketer, talk about the frustration of not getting leads or sales. If you sell to golfers, talk about not being able to hit the ball straight and always losing to their mates.

Find their pain, then intensify it.

Make them feel the pain deep in their bones.

Get them to then wallow and hang their head like a beaten favorite.Then provide them a way out.

This is where you mention the solution to their pain and frustration, and of course, that solution is your product or service.

Yup, pain and frustration, it’s onehelluvamotivator.

When in pain, people seek ways to end it.

You just gotta know what your market’s pain is.

Know this about your prospects:The greater the pain, the greater their willingness to buy.

IF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM USES CANNED RESPONSES THEN STUDY THEM

Diagnose by…using live chat (to let your visitors tell you what’s wrong with your pages)

Live chat software helps in several ways: you can convert visitors via the chat conversations, you can discover their objections, and you can test your counter-objections.

Live chat can allow you to hear from visitors who wouldn’t phone you. Such visitors might prefer live chat for some of the following reasons:

They are in a public place (or at work) and don’t want to be heard.

They appreciate that, unlike phone calls, live chat doesn’t cost money.

They don’t want to be stuck at the end of a phone waiting for someone to answer.

They feel that a live chat session is less of a commitment than a phone call.

Live chat can reveal the following:

which pages are giving people problems;

which products people are asking questions about;

what visitors’ main questions, concerns, and objections are;

which of your answers, reassurances, and counterobjections persuade visitors to take further action.

Live chat can have two additional benefits:

If your customer service team is providing your live chat, you may choose to read through the transcripts of the chats regularly to find insights you can apply to your website.

If the customer service team uses canned responses, then study them. They can be pure, field-tested copywriting gold—provided they have been refined over time to be the best responses.

Using live chat may increase your conversion rate, by personally helping the visitors to take action.

Tools for live chat

Popular tools for live chat include Zendesk Chat, LiveChat, Drift, Freshdesk, Olark, LivePerson, HappyFox, SnapEngage, LiveAgent, Chatra, Intercom (for web apps), and Comm100. Some of them, like Intercom, allow you to track, help, and convert visitors across multiple browsing sessions.

To foreground job number 3 execute 3 or fg 3

To Foreground Job Number 3 Execute 3 Or Fg 3

The plus sign (+) in the jobs output represents the current job while the minus sign (-) represents the previous job. The current job is considered to be the last job that was stopped while it was in the foreground or the last job started in the background. The current job can be referred to by %% or %+. If no job information is supplied to the fg or bg commands, the current job is operated upon. The previous job can be referred to by %-.

You will notice that jobs number 1 and 2 are reported as being done. The shell does not interrupt your current command line, but will report job statuses right before a new prompt is displayed. For example, if you start a program in the background a prompt is returned. The shell will not report the status of the job until a new prompt is displayed. You can request a new prompt be displayed by simply hitting Enter.

To bring a job back to the foreground, type the name of the job or use the fg command. To foreground the current job execute %%, %+, fg, fg %%, fg %+, or fg %num. To foreground job number 3, execute %3 or fg %3.

Dont agree to anythingoh but you say youd end up in jail

Dont let this happen. Its like walking right into Hell with both eyes wide open.

Dont talk to cops. Dont sign anything. Dont agree to anything.

Oh but you say youd end up in jail? Youll end up there anyway regardless of what they tell you, only what they dont tell you is that 90% of the time, if you keep your trap shut, the prosecutorll drop the case for insufficient evidence. Most evidence comes from a confession, not from what the cops see or pick up on site.

Therefore never admit to a thing nor sign any apology letter or anything else. Note that theyll try to get a confession before taking you down to the station. Thats the whole point.

Myth # 2: You Should Always Use a Fake Name or ID for a postal box.

FALSE.

We briefly mentioned this one a few chapters ago, but it bears repeating. Whether youre using a UPS Store rental box or the post office, never ever use a fake ID or a false name. If one package of yours becomes compromised then you could be looking at a worse situation on account that they will know you lied. Itll look suspicious. Probable cause is much more likely a given if they know youre a liar. Be honest with non-law enforcement types. Honesty and silence work hand in hand but if you lied at some point along the way itll be hard for you to deny any bad intentions with the rented box.

To Plan For This Type Of Scenario An Organization Is Going To Need To

This is why it is important to avoid providing a service account with either interactive or local login permissions. In fact, service accounts should be expressly denied these types of permissions, especially if access to critical data locations or important network shares. Additionally, accounts that are used for the purpose of authenticating centralized servers should not contain downstream systems that have elevated permissions as this could allow a system that is far easier to compromise to infect a system that is typically far better protected.

Recovery planning: A business impact analysis is a crucial component when it comes to preparing a contingency plan in case your system is attacked in a serious way. This plan should provide your organization with two key components, interdependencies and a classification and characterization of relevant components. To plan for this type of scenario, an organization is going to need to address the accessibility of available resources including mission critical applications and systems, contact information for crucial external contacts, contact information for essential personnel and a secure communication channel for each. It is also important to have all major vendor contact details, points of contact when it comes to organizational procurement and back up ISO files for all critical applications and systems.

This made it a hit for corporations wanting to increase productivity by sharing information

Windows 95 Was The First Microsoft Operating System That Supported Long Filenames

Windows for Workgroups 3.1 Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.1 was released in April 1992. It was the first Microsoft OS to provide native support for peer to peer networks. It supported file and printer sharing and made it easy to specify which files should be shared with other computers running DOS or Windows. WFW also included Microsoft Mail (an e-mail client) and Schedule+ (a workgroup scheduler).

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.11 was released in February 1994, and was geared toward local area networking. This made it a hit for corporations wanting to increase productivity by sharing information. The default networking protocol was NetBEUI, and TCP/IP or IPX/SPX could be added. WFW 3.11 clients could connect to both workgroups and domains, and it provided built-in support for Novell NetWare Networks. WFW 3.11 also improved support for remote access services.

Windows 95 Windows 95 was released in August 1995, and it changed the face of Windows forever. Windows 95 had features such as Plug-and-Play to make hardware installations easier, and dial-up networking for connecting to the Internet or another network via a modem. Windows 95 was the first Microsoft operating system that supported long filenames. Windows 95 also supported preemptive multitasking. Perhaps the most drastic change was that Windows 95 was a “real” OS. Unlike its predecessors, it did not require DOS to be installed first. Windows 95b (OSR2) was an improved version that was never offered for sale to the public, and was only available to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to install on new computers that they were offering for sale. Windows 95b added support for universal serial bus (USB) devices and the FAT32 file system that allowed for larger partitions, better disk space usage, and better performance.

Is that always going to be feasible

If the image is of a dog, you have to label it dog.

But it’s not just cats and dogs you have to label. In fact, ImageNet has 1000 different classes!

This is extremely time-consuming. You definitely can’t do this by yourself.

Maybe you can pay someone to do it for you. But now it costs money.

Imagine you’re a startup, and you need to label 10 million training samples. Is that always going to be feasible? The answer is no.

This is where unsupervised learning comes into play.

Unsupervised learning means we have an X, but we don’t have a Y.

In other words, we have a bunch of images or a bunch of emails, but no labels for them.

Can we still learn something from this data?

Yes!

One example of this is clustering.

As an example, we might collect data from a bunch of news articles, but it’s too time consuming for us to actually read through them all manually.

We can apply clustering, and look to see what patterns we find.

We may find that one cluster contains a lot of articles about technology, and another cluster contains a lot of articles about politics.

Thus, clustering allows us to group together similar items without needing to label them by hand, which as we discussed, saves both time and money.

Do Not Always Seem Like You Are In A Big Hurry

Do not always seem like you are in a big hurry.

Do not talk about information that is supposed to be private and you should not have access to, especially if you found it out from your hacking adventures.

Do not talk about people who are part of upper management in the company, especially if you have no actual reason to know them or be acquainted with them.

One method that can work well with social engineering is to do a favor for the other person. This helps build up some trust and a sense of gratitude from the other person and can give you a bit of the upper hand. Once you are done with that, you can ask the other person to help you out, either right away or shortly after, and you will find that the other person is more likely to help you in some way. Or you can choose to create a problem for your target and then you will swoop in at the right time to be the hero who saves them.

Phishing

The next option that you can work on is known as ‘phishing.’ This requires the use of technology to exploit your target. When the target is online, you will find that most people are trusting and naïve of exactly what is going on. These people will do a ton of different things and will trust people and situations that they would never do in real life.

This Will Help Them Know More About The Changes

Incident response

The audience targeted during this communication includes the project manager, project sponsor and the champion stakeholders. It has to be done whenever an incidence which can change the direction of the project has occurred. It is a way of showing that the leadership is complying with the initial agreement.

Resource changes

The audience in this case includes the project managers, the stakeholders, the project sponsor, and the project teams. This communication can be done at anytime during the project development. The teams which have been affected by the change have to be addressed directly during this communication. This will help them know more about the changes.

Organizational change

These include the following:

Business merger/acquisition- this type of change is good for cultural integration and any efforts related to change. The potential areas of conflict should be assessed, and their strengths and weaknesses determined. A comprehensive communication plan is also necessary. The business disruptions should be reduced, but its readiness increased.

Business demerger/split

Make sure you understand the process, the system, and the procedure used and the compliances. The cost of the risk should thoroughly be evaluated. Develop workarounds and simulate the demerger processes. The simulated model should then be implemented for change.

there are many people who are online all the time

there are many people who are online all the time

Because of how technology is quickly taking over the world, it should come as no surprise that hacking is a growing concern as well. There are many people who are online all the time. They may be working online, doing some form of business online, using their phones and computers, sending payments, shopping, or doing something else online. These are all things that we are used to doing on a daily basis and because of this, it is easy for a hacker to take over and steal this information from us. If they get access to just a few systems, they have the potential to wreak a lot of havoc.

It is likely that you have heard of hackers at some point or another in your life. Usually, you’ll hear about them in a big story where a hacker was able to steal thousands of identities or thousands of dollars’ worth of money and then was caught in the act. But there are many kinds of hackers that you may come across out there and there are a lot of times when they might never be caught at all. The first type of hacker, the ‘black hat’ hacker, is the definition or label that most people associate with hackers. They are the kind of hackers who gain access to a private system, without having the right permissions and then steal information that they’re planning to use later on.
