A few months ago a tool was released that can record Live interactions of people maneuvering through your site. This tool tracks and logs data entry and mouse clicks and you can replay their session as many time as you want.
The sole purpose for these guys to create this Clicks Plugin was to allow the webmaster to increase his or her conversion rate if they are trying to sale stuff. On the other hand, one could find this tool useful in seeing how someone was able to deface your website and replace it with “Hacked by Chinese” with just a few minor tweaks.
The computer is an important part of our lives. Sending letters have been entirely changed through emails. Communications have been dominated by instant messaging and texts. Portable storage devices that were only known to IT professionals are now used by the general public. We already have an idea of what computer forensics is but what does happen in a typical investigation?
The computer crime scene
First like any other investigation would start, the location is regarded as a crime scene. The computer analyst will take digital photographs and secure documentary evidence. This includes printouts, notes and disks in the scene. If you have hired a computer forensic expert you should leave everything to them. The computer system should left as it is whether it is turned on or off.
When building out your data center with servers, you really have 3 options. Either buy Tower based servers, rack servers or blade servers.
Deciding on which type of server farm you want all depends on the real estate you have to house them, your long term growth plan and of course your budget.
Tower servers are generally on the lower end price-wise but can grow quickly into a very expensive solution.
As I had mentioned above about real estate, tower servers take up a lot of space because they are individual systems that also require individual monitors, keyboards which would also require a place for these peripherals to set on.
Rack servers are commonly used in medium to larger sized data centers. These servers are normally mounted inside of a rack or medal cage that, for example, would be 42″ tall and 19″ wide.
If you wasn’t born yesterday then you probably remember Google Buzz, Orkut, and Google Wave. All of those products and services were cool but did not muster enough following to take on Facebook and master social networking. Now it is on to round 4, or is it round 5? Whatever, Google is on to something new and it’s their biggest effort yet to be at the top of social networking.
On Tuesday, Google introduced a social networking service called the Google+ project. This service, which is initially available to a select group of Google users who will soon be able to invite others, will let people share and discuss status updates, photos and links, much like what they do on Facebook today.
