The first computer virus, known as the Creeper Program, was created as a security measure to test self-replicating computer code. The aptly-named Creeper accidentally infiltrated computer hard drives in 1971, and then it tried to remove itself — its intent wasn’t malicious. Sadly, since that time, intentional viruses have become increasingly sophisticated. They are a…
You hear about new types of cyber attacks almost daily. As soon as information security experts have figured out how to deal with one threat, another pops up. One of the latest tricks used by hackers is called MAC address spoofing. MAC spoofing can be used to steal private data from unsuspecting victims. If you…
Without an IP address, we would all scream into the Internet abyss, and no one would hear us. Interactive websites, social media, and video platforms wouldn’t exist. IP (Internet Protocol) addresses allow us easy access to the Internet. Although we’re each assigned an address, for websites, IP addresses hold paramount importance. You can glean a…
Even those of us who don’t work in IT or a tech-related field might recognize the term IP address (Internet Protocol Address). A clear IP address definition makes the rest of the categories easier to follow, since every type is still built on the same core idea of identification and routing. Although we may not…
When it comes to dealing with Internet device connections and networks, most of us have at least heard of the technological terminology involved.
