Virus Payload

1. Installation: How the malware is able to setup itself on the system to be able to run properly

2. Propagation: An act of malware to replicate for the purpose of spreading across different computers

3. Payload: Any malicious activity being done by the malware aside from installation and propagation

Know the Basic about Malware

Before anything else we need to know the basic about malware. As my trainer said, as malware now is so complex and vey hard to detect, clean or to remove we still have to know the basic about malware so we could easily learn the best aproach how to deal with it.

Malware is malicious software or computer program that performs malicious activities

Types of Malware

1. Virus
- Infect files
- Executable codes / programs
- Inserted into another executable code / program
Examples
- Boot virus
- Binary file infectors
- Multipartite viruses
- Macro viruses
- Script viruses

2. Worm
- A form of malware that creates a copy of itself and then sends itself over the network to infect other systems
- Methods of worm propagation
Email
Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
Instant Messaging (IM) Applications
Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Applications
Network Shares
Vulnerability Exploits

3. Trojan

- A Trojan Horse is malware that does not have the capability to spread or propagate.
- Trojan Horse malware cannot propagate by themselves because they do not have the mechanism to send their own copy to another computer
- It gets into a users machine by riding on a third-party application that is trusted by the user
- The user is unaware that the system is infected

These are just the basic types of malware. I will share more information as we go with our journey in having a free malware world. Which I hope is possible.

HALAL

Has anyone recognize this mark logo to some of the food, beverages, cosmetics or in any things we consumed everyday? I guess if your a Muslim you definitely know the mesaning of this logo. For Christians like me I become curious what this logo mean. I was eating Voice Combo biscuit when I suddenly seen this logo and ask Mr. Google.

So here's what Wikipedia says about HALAL.

Halal (حلال, ḥalāl, Halaal) is an Arabic term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law and custom. It is the opposite of haraam. The term is widely used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law. It is estimated that 70% of Muslims worldwide follow halal food standards[1] and that the global halal market is currently a $580 (U.S.) billion industry[2].

In the Arabic language, the word 'halal' refers to anything that is permissible under Islam.

My traffic Rank

I just want to post my blog's http://www.myopenbookworld.blogspot.com/
traffic rate care of http://www.alexa.com

What is Traffic Rank?

The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis. The main Alexa traffic rank is based on the geometric mean of these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users). The three-month change is determined by comparing the site's current rank with its rank from three months ago. For example, on July 1, the three-month change would show the difference between the rank based on traffic during the first quarter of the year and the rank based on traffic during the second quarter.

So if you want to check how popular your site, you can measure it using this tool from Alexia.com site.
