The New Face of War: Attacks in Cyberspace

War continues to spread online. Known as cyberwarfare, the spread of malicious online viruses just may be the future of war.
Cyber attacks continue to grow in number and sophistication each year. In 2006, Russian Mafia group Russian Business Network (RBN) began using malware for identity theft. By 2007, RBN completely monopolized online identity theft. By September 2007, their Storm Worm was estimated to be running on roughly one million computers, sending millions of infected emails each day.
In 2008, cyber attacks moved from personal computers to government institutions. On August 27, 2008 NASA confirmed a worm had been found on laptops in the International Space Station; three months later Pentagon computers were hacked, allegedly by Russian hackers.
Financial institutions were next. The State Bank of India (India'’s largest bank) was attacked by hackers located in Pakistan on December 25, 2008. While no data was lost, the attack forced SBI to temporarily shut down their website and resolve the issue.
There are three main methods of cyberwarfare: sabotage, electronic espionage (stealing information from computers via viruses) and attacks on electrical power grids. The third is perhaps most alarming.

Difference between net platform and dot net framework...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework... .net platform supports programming languages that are .net compatible. It is the platform using which we can build and develop the applications. .net framework is the engine inside the .net platform which actually compiles and produces the executable code. .net framework contains CLR(Common Language Runtime) and FCL(Framework Class Library) using which it produces the platform independent codes. What is the .NET Framework? The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the common language runtime, a hierarchical set of unified class librari

C++ this Pointer, static, struct and Enumeration

C++ this Pointer In C++ programming, this is a keyword that refers to the current instance of the class. There can be 3 main usage of this keyword in C++. It can be used to pass current object as a parameter to another method. It can be used to refer current class instance variable. It can be used to declare indexers. C++ this Pointer Example Let's see the example of this keyword in C++ that refers to the fields of current class. #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Employee { public : int id; //data member (also instance variable) string name; //data member(also instance variable) float salary; Employee( int id, string name, float salary) { this ->id = id; this ->name = name; this ->salary = salary; } void display() { cout<<id<< " " <<name<&
