Talking about SNIFING PASSWORD

A prevalent computer security problem today is poor password management. Typical users type a password at least once a day to gain access to confidential or sensitive data.
Users must be trained to be very careful about guarding their password by not sharing it with anyone and not writing it down anywhere,
for example, a sticky note on their monitor. Users also need guidance in selecting good passwords and when to change them.
User training should also include watching out for “shoulder surfers” who will watch your fingers as you type your password
or “social engineers” who can smoothly persuade you to disclose passwords or other sensitive information.
Good security awareness is certainly important, but any such policies and training are severely undermined by the legacy systems
and protocols that transmit passwords in the clear over the Internet.
Passwords are used not only to authenticate users for access to the files they keep in their private accounts
but other passwords are often employed within database systems.
When the user types any of these passwords, the system does not echo them to the computer screen to ensure that no one will see them.
After jealously guarding these passwords and having the computer system reinforce the notion that they are private,
a system that sends each character in a password across the network is easily seen by any Ethernet sniffer.
End users do not realize just how easily these passwords can be found by someone using a simple and common piece of software

Entrepreneurship and the Business Environment

Everywhere you turn nowadays, you always hear about venturing into entrepreneurship. But what exactly is entrepreneurship? It is defined as the process in which a group or an individual makes an effort to pursue opportunities to satisfy needs and wants through uniqueness and innovation. Some people have the misconception that entrepreneurs are gamblers in the sense that they take risks and invest in industries that have no record of success. However, the truth is, these entrepreneurs take calculated risks that have the potential to provide them with huge returns.

The key factors you need to remember about entrepreneurship are opportunities, innovation, and growth. An entrepreneur sees opportunities in environmental and global trends and changes that nobody has seen before and pursues this opportunity with whatever resources he has at hand. The second theme in entrepreneurship is innovation which involves changing and revolutionizing existing products or services to cope with the changing global environment. The third theme is growth; this involves the continual efforts of an entrepreneur to expand his business locally and internationally. An entrepreneur is constantly looking at ways to create new approaches to make his business grow and become a huge success.

These themes are the key factors which businesses are founded upon. Some of the largest corporations you find today did not start out big, rather they started out as small enterprises by visionaries who want more than what is offered to them. You can see from the history of some of the most successful business today that the founders of these businesses have taken great leaps of faith and incredible amounts of risks in order to create what they have today. Wherever you turn, you see the results of entrepreneurship. But it is most obvious in internet commerce because this is a new industry. People that were unheard of before, are becoming some of the riches names in the world and it is all because they have taken risks and have succeeded. So whether we realize it or not, it is the entrepreneurs who drive the global environment nowadays. They are the ones who are always seeking out opportunities and taking risks to improve our world and profit from it in return.

The business environment and even the technological advancements that are available today would not have been possible if these entrepreneurs did not come out of their comfort zone to invest in the development of these businesses. Having the entrepreneurial spirit is definitely necessary for businesses to grow, prosper and reach greater heights. This provides better and faster products and services to their clients. It is no wonder that a lot of business enterprises are hiring young and visionary individuals who are not afraid to take calculated risks to ensure the survival of their business now as well as in the future.
