Internet Security
.... appealing such as interactivity, versatile communication, and customizability
also make it an ideal way for someone to keep a careful watch on the user
without them being aware of it (Lemmons 1). It may not seem like it but it is
completely possible to build a personal profile on someone just by tracking them
in cyperspace. Every action a person does while logged onto the Internet is
recorded somewhere (Boyan, Codel, and Parekh 3).
An individual's personal security is the major issue surrounding the
Internet. If a person cannot be secure and have privacy on the Internet, the
whole system will fail. According to the Center .....

Government Intervention Of The Internet
.... over 30 million Internet users in the U.S. alone (only 3 million of
which surf the net from home), everything is bound to offend someone. The
newest wave of laws floating through law making bodies around the world
threatens to stifle this area of spontaneity. Recently, Congress has been
considering passing laws that will make it a crime punishable by jail to send
"vulgar" language over the net, and to export encryption software. No matter how
small, any attempt at government intervention in the Internet will stifle the
greatest communication innovation of this century. The government wants to
maintain control over this new for .....

1990s. The employees of a large corporation may send hundreds of thousands of
pieces of E-mail over the Internet every month, thereby cutting back on postal
and telephone costs. It is not uncommon to find internet providers from twenty
to thirty dollars a month for unlimited access to internet features. Many
online services such as America Online and Prodigy offer e-mail software and
internet connections which work in an almost identical way, however, the cost
is more expensive.

Internet Censorship
.... it is difficult to completely delete speech once
it has been posted, Meaning that distributing materials that are obscene are
banned becomes easy
The American Library Association (ALA) has a definition that states
censorship is “the change in the access status of material, made by a governing
authority or its representatives. Such changes include: exclusion, restriction,
remove, or age/grade level changes.” This definition, however, has a flaw in
that it only recognizes one form of censorship-governmental censorship.
Cyberspace, a common name for the Net, has been defined by one author as

load a term paper on the system with the same topic. He just puts his name on
the paper, hands it in, and receives an A. In return when he hits college life
he will not know how to write a term paper. This will cause him to drop out. I

A Look Into The Computer Virus
.... them out of malice, but far more people are just meeting a
challenge in software design. The people who make anti-virus software have much
more to benefit from the creation of new virii. This is not a slam, just an
observation. A common type of virus would be a Trojan Horse, or a destructive
program disguised as a game, a utility, or an application. When run, a Trojan
Horse does something devious to the computer system while appearing to do
something useful (Microsoft Encarta, 1996). A Worm is also a popular type of
virus. A worm is a program that spreads itself across computers, usually by
spawning copies of itself in each co .....

aircraft are virtually undetectable to radar, these new aircraft are the
first examples of '' law observable, or stealth technology. Because radar
in the primary means by wich aircraft are detected and tracked, it has
become very important to the military service to make aircraft as invisible
to radar as possible. By building aircraft in certain ways or out or out of
certain materials like exotic plastics, it is possible to control the
direction or deduce the amount of radar energy they reflect. This prevents
energy radar systems from spotting or tr .....

The Internet, how has it changed the world around us? Government, education,
business is all wrapping around it. Is this because of all of the information
on it, simplicity or is it the quickness, with a simple point and click and the
information appears on the screen.
The first intention of the Web, as it is referred to, was not to create a sea of
web servers and surfers. The Department of Defense created it for it's own use,
to keep contact with all of the locations throughout the world, ma .....

Hackers And Security. What Are The Effects Of Data Encryption And Firewalls?
.... common, and quickly
learning new techniques and methods, which no longer leave computer systems
as 'safehouses'. The question of "what kind of person is a Hacker?" cannot
be answered simply. Hackers vary in race, style and preference. Since every
person is different, therefore so are hackers, "Each Hacker has their own
style and methods" (Rootshell). According to the Hackers Code of Ethics, a
true Hacker is one who shares:
1 The belief that information-sharing is a powerful positive good,
and that it is an ethical duty of hackers to share their expertise

Is Your Information Safe?
.... day, and every piece of information stored in a
computer is vulnerable to attack (Icove-Seger-VonStorch 1). Yesterday's bank
robbers have become today's computer hackers. They can walk away from a computer
crime with millions of virtual dollars (in the form of information they can use
or sell for an enormous profit). Walking away is precisely what they do. The
National Computer Crimes Squad estimates that 85-97 % of the time, theft of
information from computers is not even detected (Icove-Seger-VonStorch 1).
Home computer users are vulnerable, not only for credit card information
and login IDs, but also their files, disks, and .....
