 | | Common Protocol Exploitation Attacks | | by TechDoc, Nov 9, 2008 | | Over the years numerous malicious attacks have been perpetrated based around the subversion of various parameters of standard networking protocols and the manner in which they handle data. In this way the very essence of the protocols functional integrity is corrupted to do the attacker’s bidding. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Interrupt Requests (irqs) | | by TechDoc, Sep 29, 2008 | | Interrupt Requesting (IRQ) is a computer system performance enhancing technology that plays a key role in how the CPU performs input/output processing and interfaces with every peripheral in the computer, from the keyboard and mouse to the hard disk and modem. It is through IRQ prioritization that the CPU juggles multiple concurrent tasks thereby giving the impression that it is doing many things at once. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 5 |

 | | ATM Implementation Scenarios | | by TechDoc, Sep 7, 2008 | | Originally intended to be a unified networking strategy ATM is a connection-oriented, circuit-switched cell relay “Jack-of-all-trades” transport protocol that uses small uniform fixed-sized cells. It is currently being implemented at the consumer level as the transport protocol for Point-to-Point Protocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (PPPoA). PPPoA is now commonly used for consumer/home VoIP and streaming media implementations. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |
