Do you want to back up your data ? I can help you with that. If you have some important data in your computer like documents, photos, music and videos etc.. you should back up these data regularly to avoid data loss due to hardware failure and system failure.. External storage device is an option to back up your data but you will have to spend some money for that. I can suggest some good free alternatives to that.. even if you have external drive you should back up your data at some online secure site so you can assess your data anywhere.

Analyzing Security Interests Through Google Trends Insights

A wildly unscientific and faintly humorous look at what Google tells us about web searchers' relative (dis)interest in security topics. Google has a nifty tool called Google Trends. It allows you to plug in two or three phrases and see which one is used more often in web searches. Thought I'd check in on current topics and see the degree to which security is fitting into the discussion online.

Enhancing Enterprise Security with Certified Ethical Hackers

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The term "hacker" doesn't just apply to crooks, thieves and anyone else looking to subvert computer security systems for malevolent purposes. Some hackers are in the business of improving security. Certified Ethical Hackers are paid by companies and government agencies to test their computer systems against the sort of attacks the bad guys often attempt to pull off.

Exploring htop and mytop for Real-Time Process Monitoring

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

htop and mytop are programs similar to the standard top, but monitor in different ways and different functions. htop is an interactive process viewer for Linux. It is a text-mode application (for console or X terminals) and requires ncurses. Tested with Linux 2.4 and 2.6. Read on for info on mytop, an interactive monitor for MySQL.

Subversion 1.6.4 Critical: Heap Overflow Client-Server Issue

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

New versions of the Subversion version management system fix vulnerabilities in the client and server which could allow an attacker to gain control of a system. The cause of the problems are multiple heap overflows in the libsvn_delta library, which may occur when the library is parsing difference data streams (binary deltas).

Open Source Security: Addressing Code Defects Effectively

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Developers of open source software projects should be just as concerned about security as anyone developing a proprietary app. However, the nature of the two development processes can be very different at times, and debate still rages about which is inherently more secure -- a secret code kept by a company, or a public one that all eyes can see. Just as important is how each community reacts once a problem is spotted.
