Which is the better option? Given the convenience, it would seem that AirCard Wi-Fi could replace home internet altogether. Cable companies that have lasted the tests of time in some cases already offer these AirCards so their customers aren’t left stranded.

A Brief Overview

For traditional home internet you would need an internet service provider such as Comcast to run a “line” to your house connected to a service hub. Ultimately this connection makes its way to your service provider’s central office and data is transmitted via copper or fiber optic cables similar in method to the copper coaxial cable that connects your television to the wall outlet to get cable television service.

AirCards, on the other hand, do not require a wired connection to access the internet. AirCards plug directly into your laptop and provide internet access over a cellular network just like your mobile phone. In theory, if you can make a phone call from a certain area you should have to access the internet from there, as well.

How Do These Options Differ?

The easier question would be how are these two types of internet service similar, because the only thing that they really have in common is the fact that they both deliver the internet, but even that is achieved in different ways. The most important distinctions between these two options are:

• Speed

• Reliability

• Cost

• Convenience

Of these, the only area where AirCard Wi-Fi outperforms the home internet offered by various internet service providers is convenience, in that you can take the internet with you practically anywhere with very few exceptions. Home internet service is generally faster, more reliable and less expensive. However, if you rarely use the internet in any one place, this is where AirCard Wi-Fi can shine. It’s portability allows you to connect to the internet from virtually anywhere, and the added convenience adds value to this type of plan.

The speed of the AirCard Wi-Fi connection depends heavily on whether you are connected via a 3G or 4G signal, and even this can vary depending on where you are. Also, the number of nearby users on the same network as you can affect internet connection speed.

Because AirCard Wi-Fi uses what are basically radio waves to provide internet access, they are typically more susceptible to service interruptions than a wired connection. Lastly, AirCard Wi-Fi requires a service plan that has a data allotment, more commonly called a data limit. Some AirCard plans are competitively priced, but if you reach your limit and have to add data, the additional cost could make your monthly bill plan even more expensive compared to home internet connections from most internet service providers.

Though the advantage of convenience makes a strong argument for AirCard Wi-Fi service, that one aspect does not make it a reasonable replacement for the home internet delivered by internet service providers.

If you do need mobile internet, however, some AirCard Wi-Fi providers offer “pay as you go options” so you can have both traditional home internet service and mobile internet when you need to connect on the go. To decide whether one or the other, or a combination of the two, is right for you, consider how, how much, and where you will most often use the internet.

Infact a customer may carry them at home and refer to it when relaxed or in need of the service. It is very necessary to keep the brochures concise and to the point since they are either in form of single sheet, bi-fold sheet or tri-fold sheets. The lengthier the content will be, the easier customer will lose interest in reading it.

There are lot of software and tools available to create brochures like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or Microsoft publisher. With abundance of brochure templates available online, you can start working on the concept of the brochure. In case you are not an expert in working on these tools, it is better to outsource the work to an experienced person. You can easily find agencies and freelance designers to work for you at the very best cost. Here are some of the tips to create beautiful and attractive brochures:

Create the Concept

It is very necessary to first jot down the full concept and theme of the brochure. You need to know the reason of creating the brochure and thus understand the target audience. This way you can create the concept to attract that particular group of customers.

Print Size

The second step to find out the correct size of the final brochure. You need to talk to the printer to use the correct size of the paper to bring out exactly what you see on the laptop.

Correct Resolution

It is very necessary to print the brochure with correct resolution. If it is a colorful design high resolutions are necessary else it will look unattractive. At least 300 dpi is necessary to have a sharp printout on the paper.

Font

Knowledge of the target audience is necessary to choose the correct font. If it is about any hobby classes for kids, then bold and funny fonts are good, but if it about a seminar in hospital than it need to be more formal. You can also take inspiration from some online resources or already printed brochures.

Concise Data

It is essential to keep the data concise and display more information with help of graphs, charts and images. Very few people read whole of the brochure, most of them give around 20-30 seconds before deciding to throw it in dustbin. Thus maintain fine headlines and use numbering to show important points.

Jingles or cover pictures

Try and use creative pictures or jingles on the very first page. This is the only way to attract a person to come and pick up a brochure from the stand. After all first impression can lead to various outcomes.

Paper

Use the appropriate paper with correct gsm. Using a low quality paper will degrade the company’s image while extra glossy paper may result in illegible font.

Creative

Last but not the least it Is essential to be creative and different from your competitor. Thus you need to choose a unique design to outshine amongst various other brochures.

With nearly half in 2013 in the books, the time to look past the regular websites is needed. Gone are the days when a website is all you needed to be successful. An IDC report says they expect the sales of smart phones to surpass that of regular cellular phones for the first time this year and see the number continually rising for the next several years. One of the most important things this should tell you is the need to have a quality mobile website page linked to your desktop site.

Transferring Website into Mobile Friendly Format

One of the biggest issues with creating a mobile friendly website is the need to make the website friendly on multiple brands of phones. As technology continues to increase throughout the entire market, it is becoming more evident that quality mobile website design software is needed. There are certain websites that offer to put together your mobile website page and make it look as close to possible as the web model. This is the best strategy to follow. You want to make the browsing process easy for the consumer and the best way to do that when 4G speeds don’t always work right is by putting links as close to possible on the mobile website to the actual website.

Determine if You Have Need for Mobile Website

No matter what, the web address from your website can be searched and seen on mobile phones. Whether you want it to or not, this will happen, and if you aren’t sure what your mobile site looks like, check it out. If it looks all jumbled and you have to zoom in constantly to read what it says, then decide if you need to revamp the site. If you own an auto dealership, you may decide that you should have a special mobile website to make it easier to find cars in the used stock. If you own a pizza restaurant and don’t even use your website to take orders, you might as well save your money and leave your mobile website to just include your menu.

There are different websites that offer to create or modify your mobile website to fit your needs, but don’t take their word for it. Think about all the options before making the decision. If your website only has a basic “about me” description with a phone number, mailing address, and email address, then the likelihood that a mobile website will add to your business is highly unlikely.

There are many different types of devices and mechanisms within the security environment to provide a layered approach of defense so that if an attacker is able to bypass one layer, another layer stands in the way to protect the network. Two of the most popular and significant tools used to secure networks are firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The rudimentary functionality of a firewall is to screen network traffic for the purpose of preventing unauthorized access between computer networks.

In this article, we will examine the various types of firewalls and intrusion detection systems, as well as understand the architecture behind these technologies. We will touch attack indications and the countermeasures that should be applied in order to secure the network from breach. This article describes the importance of intrusion detection and prevention, and why they must be a part of every network security administrator’s defense plan.

What is a Firewall?

A firewall is a device installed between the internal network of an organization and the rest of the network. It is designed to forward some packets and filter others. For example, a firewall may filter all incoming packets destined for a specific host or a specific server such as HTTP or it can be used to deny access to a specific host or a service in the organization. The following image depicts a firewall installation in the network.

Firewalls are a set of tools that monitors the flow of traffic between networks. Placed at the network level and working closely with a router, it filters all network packets to determine whether or not to forward them towards their destinations.

Working Architecture

A firewall is often installed away from the rest of the network so that no incoming requests get directly to the private network resource. If it is configured properly, systems on one side of the firewall are protected from systems on the other side. Firewalls generally filter traffic based on two methodologies:

-          A firewall can allow any traffic except what is specified as restricted. It relies on the type of firewall used, the source, the destination addresses, and the ports.

-          A firewall can deny any traffic that does not meet the specific criteria based on the network layer on which the firewall operates.

-          The type of criteria used to determine whether traffic should be allowed through varies from one type to another.

-          A firewall may be concerned with the type of traffic or with source or destination addresses and ports.

-          A firewall may also use complex rules based on analyzing the application data to determine if the traffic should be allowed through.

Firewall Pros and Cons

Every security device has advantages and disadvantages and firewalls are no different. If we applied strict defensive mechanisms into our network to protect it from breach, then it might be possible that even our legitimate communication could malfunction, or if we allow entire protocol communications into our network, then it can be easily hacked by malicious users. So, we should maintain a balance between strictly-coupled and loosely-coupled functionalities.

Advantage

-          A firewall is an intrusion detection mechanism. Firewalls are specific to an organization’s security policy. The settings of firewalls can be altered to make pertinent modification to the firewall functionality.

-          Firewalls can be configured to bar incoming traffic to POP and SNMP and to enable email access.

-          Firewalls can also block email services to secure against spam.

-          Firewalls can be used to restrict access to specific services. For example, the firewall can grant public access to the web server but prevent access to the telnet and the other non-public daemons.

-          Firewall verifies the incoming and outgoing traffic against firewall rules. It acts as a router in moving data between networks.

-          Firewalls are excellent auditors. Given plenty of disk or remote logging capabilities, they can log any and all traffic that passes through.

Disadvantage

-          A firewall can’t prevent revealing sensitive information through social engineering.

-          Firewall can’t protect against what has been authorized. Firewalls permit normal communications of approved applications, but if those applications themselves have flaws, a firewall will not stop the attack because to the firewall, the communication is authorized.

-          Firewalls are only as effective as the rules they are configured to enforce.

-          Firewalls can’t stop attacks if the traffic does not pass through them.

-          Firewalls also can’t secure against tunneling attempts. Applications that are secure can be Trojaned. Tunneling bad things over HTTP, SMTP and other protocols is quite simple and easily demonstrated.

Firewall Classification

The way a firewall provides greater protection relies on the firewall itself, and on the policies that are configured on it. The main firewall technologies available today are:

-          Hardware Firewall

-          Software Firewall

-          Packet-Filter Firewall

-          Proxy Firewall

-          Application Gateways

-          Circuit-Level Gateways

-          Stateful Packet-Inspection (SPI)

-

Hardware Firewall

A hardware firewall is preferred when a firewall is required on more than one machine. Hardware firewall provides an additional layer of security to the physical network. The disadvantage of this approach is that if one firewall is compromised, all the machines that it serves are vulnerable.

Software Firewall

A software firewall is a second layer of security and secures the network from malware, worms and viruses, and email attachments. It looks like any other program and can be customized based on network requirements. Software firewall can be customized to include antivirus programs and to block sites and images.

Packet-Filtering Firewall

Packet-Filtering firewall filters at the network or transport layer. It provides network security by filtering network communications based on the information contained in the TCP/IP header of each packet. The firewall examines these headers and uses the information to decide whether to accept and route the packets along to their destinations or deny the packet by dropping them. A Packet-Filter firewall is a router that uses a filtering table to decide which packets must be discarded.

Packet-Filtering makes decisions based upon the following header information:

-          The Source IP address

-          The Destination IP address

-          The Network protocol in use (TCP ,ICMP or UDP)

-          The TCP or UDP source port

-          The TCP or UDP destination port

-          If the protocol is ICMP, then its message type

Proxy Firewall

The Packet-Filter firewall is based on information available in the network and transport layer header. However, sometimes we need to filter a message based on the information available in the message itself (at the application layer). For example, assume that an organization only allows those users who have previously established business relations with the company, then access to other users must be blocked. In this case, Packet-Filter firewall is not feasible because it can’t distinguish between different packets arriving at TCP port 80.

Here proxy firewall came into light as a solution: install a proxy computer between the customer and the corporation computer. When the user client process sends a message, the proxy firewall runs a server process to receive the request. The server opens the packet at the application level and confirms whether the request is legitimate or not. If it is, the server acts as a client process and sends the message to the real server, otherwise the message is dropped. In this way, the requests of the external users are filtered based on the contents at the application layer.

Application Gateways

These firewalls analyze the application level information to make decisions about whether or not to transmit the packets. Application gateways act as an intermediary for applications such as e-mail, FTP, Telnet, HTTP and so on. An application gateway verifies the communication by asking for authentication to pass the packets. It can also perform conversion function on data if necessary.

For example, an application gateway can be configured to restrict FTP commands to allow only get commands and deny put command.

Application gateways can be used to protect vulnerable services on protected systems. A direct communication between the end user and destination service is not permitted. These are the common disadvantages when implementing application gateway:

-          Slower performance

-          Lack of transparency

-          Need for proxies for each application

-          Limits to application awareness

Circuit-Level Gateways

Circuit-level gateways work at the sessions layer of the OSI model or the TCP layer of the TCP/IP. They forward data between the networks without verifying it. It blocks incoming packets on the host, but allows the traffic to pass through itself. Information passed to remote computers through it appears to have originated from gateway. Circuit-level gateways operate by relaying TCP connections from the trusted network to the untrusted network. This means that a direct connection between the client and server never occurs.

The main advantage of circuit-level gateway is that it provides services for many different protocols and can be adapted to serve an even greater variety of communications. A SOCK proxy is a typical implementation of circuit-level gateway.

Stateful Packet Inspection

A stateful packet-inspection (SPI) firewall permits and denies packets based on a set of rules very similar to that of a packet filter. However, when a firewall is state-aware, it makes access decisions not only on IP addresses and ports but also on the SYN, ACK, sequence numbers and other data contained in the TCP header. Whereas packet filters can pass or deny individual packets and require permissive rules to permit two-way TCP communications, SPI firewalls track the state of each session and can dynamically open and close ports as specific sessions require.

Firewall Identification

Normally, firewalls can be identified for offensive purposes. Because firewalls are usually a first line of defense in the virtual perimeter, to breach the network from a hacker perspective, it is required to identify which firewall technology is used and how it’s configured. Some popular tactics are:

Port scanning

-          Hackers use it for investigating the ports used by the victims.

-          Nmap is probably the most famous port-scanning tool available.

Firewalking

-          The process of using traceroute-like IP packet analysis in order to verify if a data packet will be passed through the firewall from source to host of the attacker to the destination host of the victim.

Banner grabbing

-          This is a technique to enable a hacker to spot the type of operation system or application running on a target server. It works through a firewall by using what looks like legitimate connections.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

Intrusion Detection (ID) is the process of monitoring for and identifying attempted unauthorized system access or manipulation. An ID system gathers and analyzes information from diverse areas within a computer or a network to identify possible security breaches which include both intrusions (attack from outside the organization) and misuse (attack from within the organization).

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is yet another tool in the network administrator’s computer security arsenal. It inspects all the inbound and outbound network activity. The IDS identifies any suspicious pattern that may indicate an attack the system and acts as a security check on all transactions that take place in and out of the system.

Types of IDS

For the purpose of dealing with IT, there are four main types of IDS:

Network intrusion detection system (NIDS)

It is an independent platform that identifies intrusions by examining network traffic and monitors multiple hosts. Network intrusion detection systems gain access to network traffic by connecting to a network hub, a network switch configured for port mirroring, or a network tap. In a NIDS, sensors are placed at choke points in the network to monitor, often in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) or at network borders. Sensors capture all network traffic and analyze the content of individual packets for malicious traffic. An example of a NIDS is Snort.

Host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS)

It consists of an agent on a host that identifies intrusions by analyzing system calls, application logs, file-system modifications (binaries, password files, capability databases, Access control lists, etc.) and other host activities and state. In a HIDS, sensors usually consist of a software agent. Some application-based IDS are also part of this category. An example of a HIDS is OSSEC.

Intrusion detection systems can also be system-specific using custom tools and honeypots. In the case of physical building security, IDS is defined as an alarm system designed to detect unauthorized entry.

Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS)

Detects and pinpoints the location of intrusion attempts on perimeter fences of critical infrastructures. Using either electronics or more advanced fiber optic cable technology fitted to the perimeter fence, the PIDS detects disturbances on the fence, and if an intrusion is detected and deemed by the system as an intrusion attempt, an alarm is triggered.

VM based Intrusion Detection System (VMIDS)

It detects intrusions using virtual machine monitoring. By using this, we can deploy the Intrusion Detection System with Virtual Machine Monitoring. It is the most recent type and it’s still under development. There’s no need for a separate intrusion detection system since by using this, we can monitor the overall activities.

Comparison with Firewall

Though they both relate to network security, an intrusion detection system (IDS) differs from a firewall in that a firewall looks outwardly for intrusions in order to stop them from happening. Firewalls limit access between networks to prevent intrusion and do not signal an attack from inside the network. An IDS evaluates a suspected intrusion once it has taken place and signals an alarm. An IDS also watches for attacks that originate from within a system. This is traditionally achieved by examining network communications, identifying heuristics and patterns (often known as signatures) of common computer attacks, and taking action to alert operators. A system that terminates connections is called an intrusion prevention system, and is another form of an application layer firewall.

Anomaly Detection Model

All Intrusion Detection Systems use one of two detection techniques:

Statistical anomaly-based IDS

A statistical anomaly-based IDS establishes a performance baseline using normal network traffic evaluations. It will then sample current network traffic activity to this baseline in order to detect whether or not it is within baseline parameters. If the sampled traffic is outside baseline parameters, an alarm will be triggered.

Signature-based IDS

Network traffic is examined for preconfigured and predetermined attack patterns known as signatures. Many attacks today have distinct signatures. In good security practice, a collection of these signatures must be constantly updated to mitigate emerging threats.

Indication of Intrusions

System Intrusions

-          System failure in identifying valid user

-          Active access to unused logins

-          Login during non-working hours

-          New user account created automatically

-          Modification in system software or configuration files

-          System logs are deleted

-          System performance decreased drastically

-          Unusual display of graphics, pop-ups

-          System crashes suddenly and reboots without user interventions

File Intrusions

-          Identifications of unknown files and program on your system

-          File permission modifications

-          Unexplained modifications in file size

-          Identifications of strange file presence into system directories

-          Missing files

Network Intrusions

-          Identifications of repeated attempts to log in from remote locations

-          Sudden increase in bandwidth consumptions

-          Repeated probes of the existing services

-          Arbitrary log data in log files

Defense against IDS attacks

The network security administrator must perform various precautions and initiatives in order to defend the network from external or internal attacks. Some of these are:

-          Frequently update antivirus Signature database.

-          Configure the firewall to filter out IP address of an intruder.

-          Beep or play .WAV file as an indication.

-          Force a TCP FIN or RST packet to force a connection termination.

-          Save a trace file of raw packets for future analysis.

-          Save the attack information (Intruder IP, victim IP, timestamp).

-          Send intimation to Administrator about attack.

Intrusion Prevention System

The traditional Intrusion Detection System is a detective technology; it only detects the anomaly in the network and sends intimation to the concerned person whereas an IPS is both detective and preventive technology. However, an IDS just makes a database of irregularities occurring in the inner network executed by the malicious hacker; it is not able to block the particular kind of attack. The Intrusion Prevention System’s goal is to detect malicious activity and not allow the traffic to gain access to its target network.

Conclusion

This article provided an in-depth overview of firewalls and IDS, and their roles in protecting the corporate network. There are four main types of firewalls: packet-filters, application gateways, circuit-level gateways, and other firewalls. Though some have predicted the end of the firewall, its strategic location in the network makes it an indispensable tool for protecting assets. Good security practices dictate that firewalls should be deployed between any two networks of differing security requirements. The InfoSec Institute, an IT security training company, offers a wide variety of courses that discuss Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems in greater detail.

This article illustrates the importance of IDS and its various types. IDS monitor hosts for system alteration or sniffs network packets off the wire, seeking for malicious contents. Security Administrators should contemplate using combinations of HIDS and NIDS, with both signature-detection and anomaly-based engines. IDS can be configured purely as monitoring and detection devices or it can participate as an inline device and prevent threats. Its biggest weaknesses are the high number of false-positives and the maintenance effort needed to keep signatures up to date and fine-tuned.

Here are some of the top fun and funny tricks you can do with Google, any time of the year:

Annoying Google. If you’ve ever seen teenagers morph their text-speak into a jumble of odd numbers, letters, special characters, not to mention letters capitalized or not capitalized in places they shouldn’t be, then this is exactly what “Annoying Google” is like.

Here’s how you get to view the prank:

• Go to Google.com
• Type “Annoying Google”
• If instant search is on, mouse over to the right and click “I’m Feeling Lucky.” You may also click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.
• Google will be replaced with http://www.donttypelikethis.com/ and turn all of the things you type into some form of teen textspeak, much like this:

sMs-SPEak CoUld bE SOoO AnNoYINg!

Google Hacker. You wouldn’t want to mess with the real hackers if you want to keep your sanity — and your data — intact. However, if you ever wondered how Google would look if it got hacked, do this:

• Go to Google.com
• Type “Google Hacker”
• If instant search is on, mouse over to the right and click “I’m Feeling Lucky.” You may also click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.
• Google will be replaced with https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=xx-hacker and a lot of the page elements will be all out of whack.

Doesn’t seem like much, or too different from “Annoying Google,” but it’s worth an eye exercise, if you like rolling your eyeballs.

Google Gravity. Wouldn’t you want to know what would happen if the sky fell on our heads. That may not happen anytime soon, but Google Gravity may give you a taste of that:

• Go to Google.com
• Type “Google Gravity”
• If instant search is on, mouse over to the right and click “I’m Feeling Lucky.” You may also click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.
• Find out what happens. It’s worth a bit of a giggle, or, another moment of eye-exercising, a.k.a., rolling your eyeballs.

Google Askew. A variant of Google Gravity, all you need to do is to type the word “Askew.” Sometimes, you don’t even have to hit “Enter.”

Don’t worry, the world didn’t tilt. And neither do you need Meclizine/Bonamine/dizziness relief/anti-vertigo meds.

Google is just chock-full of surprises and laughs. And with this list, you won’t even need for the next April Fools’ Day to come around. Enjoy!

Some marketing experts believe that the Internet is becoming too mobile, but there are both advantages and disadvantages to moving your business from traditional advertising methods to working with mobile yourself.

Who Uses the Internet on Mobile Phones?

People from all around the world utilize mobile Internet, applications, games and software each day. Individuals and business-owners alike along with marketers all use mobile Internet to reach consumers, friends and potential clients. When you want to reach an audience online or within mobile phones, it is important to assess your brand and who it is appealing to in terms of a specific demographic. The more of an understanding you have with your own audience, the easier it will be to captivate anyone when you begin to use mobile for your own business.

Advantages of the Internet Being Mobile

One major advantages of the Internet going mobile is that it is possible to reach an audience at any time, as most users and browsers are frequently carrying their phone at all hours of the day as opposed to logging online with a computer. Using mobile technology to help with growing a business can be extremely effective without having the restrictions of traditional borders in advertising and marketing campaigns. Additionally, mobile advertising can be much less expensive if not free when you are using social media to keep your fans and followers up to date with the latest releases and news from your company. Using mobile applications and a mobile-friendly website will help you to gain exposure from users who strictly only browse the Internet with their phones.

Disadvantages of the Internet Being Mobile

Using mobile applications and accessing the Internet from the phone, although quick and easy, can also mean you will be required to update even more than with traditional methods of marketing and advertising. Because of the rapid speed of the Internet with mobile phones, updates and posts from businesses and brands may be quickly overlooked when you are trying to promote your merchandise, services or the content you have published. Another disadvantage of the Internet becoming more mobile each day is that it is not as versatile as traditional web browsers, which may limit the developing opportunities or ideas you have in mind for your website or business altogether.

How to Implement Mobile for Your Business

You can implement your business into a mobile-friendly market by developing a mobile site specifically for those who are accessing your information or shopping for your products from their phones.
