Internet Security

Hey everybody this is christian here today. Im going to be doing the blogging today because my partner Nori decided that staying in and sleeping was better than actually coming to class haha. No but Nori if you are sick or have another engagement I hope you get better soon because I would hate to leave our grade in the palm of my hands. So today we started off in class going to reader.google.com as we tried to find different articles and posts about the topics we are studying. I subscribed to a couple of internet security articles so that we could have more than enough information for this project. We also made igoogle accounts which was pretty cool because we got to customize it anyway we wanted. It astounded me that I could choose a half naked lady as my background but nonetheless I chose wrigley field. The layout of my igoogle page contains some gadgets like facebook, youtube, hulu, espn, some flickster movies, and also a couple of games of my choice. We also used google blogs today so we could find additional information we could subscribe to help us on our research. I found this a little less helpful than google reader but it still may come in handy later. As for our topic of internet security, I really thought I knew a little about some topics such as internet security systems, viruses, spam, and antivirus software but now as I look and actually read some of the blogs and articles the information I knew previously was only scratching the surface of what I know now. Such as, did you know if you send a specially-crafted HTTP request, a remote attacker could exploit a vulnerability in the HP OpenView Network Node Manager to execute arbitrary code on the system? Well I hope you didn't because if you did you need to be off doing something better with your time like doing this project for me. So today was pretty helpful and I hope when my patner gets back we can tell you a lot more about what goes on in the world of internet security.

Sincerely,
C Green
