Penetration testing is different from vulnerability testing. The former is used to implement specific test cases of existing bugs and vulnerabilities for possible security breaches and covert data access. The latter is on the other hand done to discover vulnerabilities and bugs. For example, penetration tests are initially performed to observe how certain malicious programs are designed to exploit known vulnerabilities and bugs in specific test cases. Results are then logged and re-tested to verify if these exploits were successful in infiltrating the target network, system, and device, or in carrying out their programmed operations across these platforms....

Parks and Recreation is one of the most beloved shows in recent memory.

Parks & Recreation’s series finale gave viewers a glimpse at the futures of the main characters, but the producer’s cut also included the futures of three recurrent characters. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, Parks & Recreation debuted on NBC in 2009 and came to an end in 2015 after seven seasons, but not without its ups and downs. Season 1 is considered the worst of all, but thankfully, the writers found the characters’ voices and the series’ style by the end of that not-so-good season....

A patent application spotted by Patently Apple shows a feature you might have expected Apple to have introduced alongside the Apple Pencil: a holder to attach it to an iPad when not in use.

Paranormal Activity 7 can provide answers to some lingering mysteries left by the earlier films in the franchise. 2009’s Paranormal Activity was the definition of a sleeper hit, a micro-budget home movie that dethroned the long-running Saw franchise (which itself is seeing a revival with the involvement of Chris Rock) to emerge as the new king of Halloween. While found footage has often been the most polarizing corner of the horror genre, there’s no denying that Paranormal Activity was a runaway hit of the 2009 Halloween season....

For example, the pentester could set up a sniffer to intercept all inbound/outbound network traffic, including an FTP (file transfer protocol) and telnet sessions with other systems, so that he will later transmit that data wherever he wants. For those who want to remain undetected, it will be imperative to undertake further steps to secure their presence. There are different ways through which that can happen, but typically through the installation of hidden infrastructure for repeated and unfettered access based on backdoors, Trojan horses, rootkits, and covert channels (section 1)....
