What Is Global Positioning System - Introduction To GPS - How It Works

-
Image
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, with no subscription fees or setup charges. The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into orbit for military use, but they were made available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS or Global Positioning System is a network of orbiting satellites that send precise details of their position in space back to earth. The signals are obtained by GPS receivers, such as navigation devices and are used to calculate the exact position, speed and time at the vehicles location. GPS is well-known for its military uses and was first developed by the US to aid in its global intelligence efforts at the height of the Cold War. Ever since the early 1980s, however, the GPS has been freely available to anyone with a GPS receiver. Airlines, shipping companies, trucking firms, and drivers...

Zombies (Bot and Botnets)

-
Bot  : A ‘bot’ is a type of malicious code that allows an attacker to take complete control over the affected computer – turning the computer into a “robot” that the criminal can remotely control. Once infected, these machines may also be referred to as ‘zombies’. While taking over one computer is useful, the real value comes from collecting huge numbers of computers and networking these so they can all be controlled at once (a botnet). There are between 100-150 million computers worldwide (out of 600 million PCs on the Internet) infected with bots and under the control of hackers. Botnet : A botnet is a group of computers connected in a coordinated fashion for malicious purposes. Each computer in a botnet is called a bot. These bots form a network of compromised computers, which is controlled by a third party and used to transmit malware or spam, or to launch attacks. A botnet may also be known as a zombie army . Originally, botnets were created as a t...
