What are some of the badass things you have done as a student?
I did this 3 years back, when I was in 9th standard. It was computer period, and we were shown the answer sheets of the computer exam held 2 weeks back.There was a question of how to insert table in MS Word. And I wrote, by pressing the shortcut key ctrl+T. It knew it was wrong but still I confidently went to teacher to argue. After 5 minutes scolding, I said, “I'll show you later Ma'am.”The next day was our practical period. So while other students were busy making their documents, what I did was this:I assigned a shortcut key for inserting table in MS Word 2010.This can be done as:Click on File tab.2. Click on Options.3. In the dialog box, click on Customize Ribbon.4. Click on Customize beside Keyboard shortcuts as shown in the image.5. In the following dialog box, search for TableInsertTable in the Insert Tab, as shown in the image. Assign a new shortcut key from there.Now everytime Ctrl+T is pressed, the following Dialog box appears that allows to insert a table with desired number of rows and columns.After assigning shortcut key for inserting table, I called my computer teacher and shown her this. She was awestruck, and finally gave me extra 2 marks in the exam.Cheers!You are reading Mrityunjay Mani Tripathi (मृत्युञ्जय मणि त्रिपाठी) ✍️
What advantage was there to Hillary Clinton in putting e-mails on her own server?
Hillary Clinton is a fairly busy person and wanted to be able to access all her non-classified emails from one single device and to keep her calendar in one place. The State Department could have given her a Blackberry that would access her (non-classified) State.gov emails, but not one that could access that and her personal emails so she’d have had to juggle two Blackberries - an obnoxious faff.The state.gov emails are all meant to be non-classified (actually top secret information is kept on an internal network that never touches the internet) and it was common practice throughout the State Department to use personal email for this purpose. (Ironically there was an email sent in 2011 by her office pointing out that this was not good practice, but it was common enough practice in the State Department). Most of the information Comey claimed was classified was about drone strikes being reported on CNN and other news networks. Comey’s argument: Drone strike - therefore classified; all drone strikes are classified. The State Department’s argument: On CNN therefore are you kidding me? As long as they don’t go beyond what CNN actually said then of course it isn’t classified. It’s on CNNTo reiterate. Any accounts sent to Hillary Clinton’s personal email from the State Department were sent via accounts that were not allowed to be used to send classified information; using her personal email address wasn’t a weird additional overhead. The email accounts that were cleared are not actually on the internet but on an entirely separate network to prevent hacking. So for the non-classified stuff she, like many people at the State Department used personal email, in her case so she could use a single Blackberry rather than two.
What are the biggest issues in cyber security in 2016?
10 years ago, computer security was an issue that facing all IT departments. That issue is still as dominant in 2016, but the nature of attacks are much more intensive and sophisticated.Here are some biggest cyber security issues that were founded in 2016:Social malware: Phishing is one the biggest cyber security risk founded in 2016, and till now, it’s getting more sophisticated, too. Entire fraudulent websites offering customer support and even mobile applications are entries for attackers through the remote connection to compromise users’ systems. Malware in social media like SnapChat and Instagram will help broaden attackers’ reach.Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks: Hackers are becoming more sophisticated in their attacks and resulting data breaches. There are some experts who believe DDoS attacks are a smokescreen for more malicious data breaches. DDoS is evolving into smaller strikes that cause security vulnerabilities leaving data at risk.Ransomware: Ransomware is likely to target corporate networks more heavily in 2016, as attackers expect corporations to be able to pay higher ransoms than individuals. Even the FBI is advising that it’s easier to pay the ransom to get your data back than it is to fight. And most users are willing to pay a ransom that’s not excessive to get their precious data back.Insider threat: These are the most dangerous types of network threats. Insiders have the ability to cause the most damage because they gain access using legitimate credentials. For various reasons, Insiders can exploit network security in ways that are difficult to predict. This type of threat can even reach outside of your organization to suppliers, contractors or vendors.Cloud attacks: Businesses are shifting away from the large IT departments and utilizing cloud storage and SaaS resources. This will shift attention to a new cyber security learning curve. As cloud attacks happen, new technologies will surface to secure data in a complex, multi-homed environments.
What is the soonest I can buy a domain after it expires?
Domain name is not available for re-registration at the time it expires. Most registrars allow a grace period that can be one or two weeks or as long as a year for registrants to renew expired domain names. The actual grace period can be different for each individual registrar and domain name extension. That is, the grace period for a .com domain name might be different from the grace period for a .us domain name, even at the same registrar.After the registrar's grace period, most domain names have a redemption period. This period can last from two weeks to 30 days, and, during this time, the current registrant can renew the domain name by paying a redemption fee along with the domain name's renewal fee.If the current registrant does not renew or redeem the domain name, it might be auctioned. When a domain name is released to a public auction, you can participate and possibly capture the domain name by placing a bid on it.If the domain name is not renewed, redeemed, or purchased through an auction, it is returned to its registry. The registry determines when the domain name is released again for registration. Once it's released, you can register the domain again.the sources that you are using for checking the domain availability are not correct. There is only one authentic place which can give you perfect information that is ICANN. others are all private organization to capture good domains and customer data.
