Google Mirror

If you want a different perspective on Google, check out the Google Mirror. In the Internet sense, a “mirror” is a site that copies the content of another site. But there’s a Google mirror that is a mirror in the traditional sense; it is the image of Google, backward.

Goals of Security

Hi Friends ,Today we are discussion about security goals. There are many ways in which security can be achieved, but it’s universally agreed that the security triad of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) form the basic building blocks of any good security initiative. Confidentiality addresses the secrecy and privacy of information. Physical examples of confidentiality include locked doors, armed guards, and fences. Logical examples of confidentiality can be seen in passwords, encryption, and firewalls. In the logical world, confidentiality must protect data in storage and in transit. For a real-life example of the failure of confidentiality, look no further than [...]

A list of the top 10 most critical Web application security problems

The list includes the following: Unvalidated parameters: In this scenario, information from Web requests isn’t validated before the Web application uses it. Attackers can use these flaws to attack backside components through a Web application. Broken access control: Organizations fail to enforce restrictions on what authenticated users are allowed to do. Attackers can exploit these flaws to access other users’ accounts, view sensitive files, or use unauthorized functions. Broken account and session management: Account credentials and session tokens aren’t properly protected. Attackers that can compromise passwords, keys, session cookies, or other tokens can defeat authentication restrictions and assume other users’ [...]

Google tweaks Part II

site: allows you to narrow your search by either a site or a top-level domain. AltaVista, for example, has two syntaxes for this function (host: and domain:), but Google has only the one. site:loc.gov site:thomas.loc.gov site:edu site:nc.us link:returns a list of pages linking to the specified URL. Enter link:www.google.com and you’ll be returned a list of pages that link to Google. Don’t worry about including the http:// bit; you don’t need it, and, indeed, Google appears to ignore it even if you do put it in. link: works just as well with “deep” URLs—http://www.raelity.org/apps/blosxom/ for instance—as with top-level URLs such [...]

Google search tweaks

The Special Syntaxes In addition to the basic AND, OR, and quoted strings, Google offers some rather extensive special syntaxes for honing your searches. intitle: restricts your search to the titles of web pages. The variation, allintitle: finds pages wherein all the words specified make up the title of the web page. It’s probably best to avoid the allintitle: variation, because it doesn’t mix well with some of the other syntaxes. intitle:”george bush” allintitle:”money supply” economics inurl: restricts your search to the URLs of web pages. This syntax tends to work well for finding search and help pages, because they [...]
