Mac129 med102 hackers lectureRob Jewitt This document discusses the history and evolution of hacking from the 1940s to present day. It describes the origins of hacking at MIT and its "Golden Age" from 1980-1990, which saw the rise of phreaking, publications like Phrack, and bulletin board systems. However, the document also notes that from the 1990s onward, hacking became synonymous with computer crime due to media portrayals and police action against high-profile hackers. More recently, some hackers have engaged in hacktivism for political purposes, though the morality of such actions remains debated.

Political History of Pala dynasty Pala Rulers NEP.pptxArya Mahila P. G. College, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.

To study the nervous system of insect.pptxArshad Shaikh The *nervous system of insects* is a complex network of nerve cells (neurons) and supporting cells that process and transmit information. Here's an overview:
Structure
1. *Brain*: The insect brain is a complex structure that processes sensory information, controls behavior, and integrates information.
2. *Ventral nerve cord*: A chain of ganglia (nerve clusters) that runs along the insect's body, controlling movement and sensory processing.
3. *Peripheral nervous system*: Nerves that connect the central nervous system to sensory organs and muscles.
Functions
1. *Sensory processing*: Insects can detect and respond to various stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
2. *Motor control*: The nervous system controls movement, including walking, flying, and feeding.

CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - Worksheet
CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - WorksheetSritoma Majumder Introduction
All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups:
Metals
Non-Metals
Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one.
Physical Properties
1. Appearance
Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper.
Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny).
2. Hardness
Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron.
Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard).
3. State
Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid).
Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid).
4. Malleability
Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable).
Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle).
5. Ductility
Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile).
Non-metals: Not ductile.
6. Conductivity
Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor).
7. Sonorous Nature
Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck.
Non-metals: Do not produce sound.
Chemical Properties
1. Reaction with Oxygen
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
These metal oxides are usually basic.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides.
These oxides are usually acidic.
2. Reaction with Water
Metals:
Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium).
Some react slowly (e.g., iron).
Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver).
Non-metals: Generally do not react with water.
3. Reaction with Acids
Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals: Do not react with acids.
4. Reaction with Bases
Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare.
Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc).
Displacement Reaction
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
Uses of Metals
Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings.
Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils.
Copper: Electrical wires.
Gold and Silver: Jewelry.
Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization).
Uses of Non-Metals
Oxygen: Breathing.
Nitrogen: Fertilizers.
Chlorine: Water purification.
Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke).
Iodine: Medicines.
Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal.
Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.

Morris, Jr., launches purposes. self-replicating worm on ARPAnet.
- 8. Ethical Hacking ► Independent computer security Professionals breaking into the computer systems. ► Neither damage the target systems nor steal information. ► Evaluate target systems security and report back to owners about the vulnerabilities found.
- 9. Ethical Hackers but not Criminal Hackers ► Completely trustworthy. ► Strong programming and computer networking skills. ► Learn about the system and trying to find its weaknesses. ► Techniques of Criminal hackers- Detection-Prevention. ► Published research papers or released security software. ► No Ex-hackers.
- 10. Being Prepared ► What can an intruder see on the target systems? ► What can an intruder do with that information? ► Does anyone at the target notice the intruder's attempts or successes? 6. What are you trying to protect? 7. Who are you trying to protect against? 8. How much time, effort, and money are you willing to expend to obtain adequate protection?
- 11. Ethical Hacker’s Prospective ► Ethical Hacker’s demand a lot of time and persistence. ► Security evaluation plan 1. Identify system to be tested 2. How to test? 3. Limitations on that testing ► Evaluation done under a “no-holds-barred” approach. ► Clients should be aware of risks. ► Limit prior knowledge of test.
- 12. Required Skills of an Ethical Hacker ► Routers: knowledge of routers, routing protocols, and access control lists ► Microsoft: skills in operation, configuration and management. ► Linux: knowledge of Linux/Unix; security setting, configuration, and services. ► Firewalls: configurations, and operation of intrusion detection systems. ► Mainframes ► Network Protocols: TCP/IP; how they function and can be manipulated. ► Project Management: knowledge of leading, planning, organizing, and controlling a penetration testing team.
- 13. Kinds of Testing ► Remote Network ► Remote dial-up network ► Local network ► Stolen laptop computer ► Social engineering ► Physical entry 1.Total outsider 2.Semi-outsider 3.Valid user
- 14. REVIEW Therefore Ethical Hackers and Network Security experts are highly required as well as demanded by many organization’s for the security of their own data, if it fell in the wrong hands a competitor might use it for corporate espionage, a hacker might use it to break into the client’s computers, or a prankster might just post the report’s contents on the Web as a joke.
