What is 1NF (Normal Form)?

September 24th, 2009

The 1NF is a normalization form in which each column in a row contains a single value, i.e., each attribute of the entity is single valued. Single valued attributes are also known as atomic attributes, as they cannot be decomposed into smaller units. There are mainly three kinds of attributes that prevent a table from being in the first normal form. They are as follows:

  • Composite attributes
  • Plural attributes (attributes that have more than one value)
  • Attributes with complex data types

The table below is in 1 NF, as all the columns in each row contain a single value.

What is Network Load Balancing?

September 16th, 2009

Network Load Balancing is a Windows Server 2003 clustering technology. It runs as a driver in Microsoft Windows and distributes incoming requests across each node included in the cluster. Its primary purpose is to load-balance by distributing TCP/IP traffic among the server nodes in a cluster. For load balancing-aware applications, such as Exchange Server 2003, when one of the nodes fails or becomes offline, the load is automatically distributed to other nodes in the cluster. A cluster using Network Load Balancing can have 2 to 32 nodes. Administrators can configure it through the Network Load Balancing Manager, which is located in the Administrative Tools program menu.

What is IP masquerading?

September 7th, 2009

IP masquerading is a form of network address translation that is generally employed by firewalls and routers. Through this method, a Linux computer with a valid IP address can act as a gateway for other computers in the LAN, which do not have a valid IP address. The computers without a valid IP address can then access the Internet through this gateway. The computers on the LAN, having no valid IP address can use their private addresses to connect to the configured gateway. When the gateway receives a packet from such a computer, it assigns it a new source port number and inserts its own IP address into the header of the packet. This packet is then sent to the Internet as if it came from the gateway. When the gateway receives an incoming packet, it searches if the port number is one of those that it assigned previously to such a computer. If a match occurs, the gateway retrieves the original port number and private IP address of the corresponding computer and inserts them into the packet header. This packet is then sent to the destined computer.

What is Trojan horse?

August 19th, 2009

Trojan horse is a malicious software program code that masquerades itself as a normal program. When a Trojan horse program is run, its hidden code runs to destroy or scramble data on the hard disk. An example of a Trojan horse is a program that masquerades as a computer logon to retrieve user names and password information. The developer of a Trojan horse can use this information later to gain unauthorized access to computers. Trojan horses are normally spread by e-mail attachments. Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but only destroy information on hard disks.
