...Server-Side Scripting Languages Student Name BMIS 310 Module/Week # 3 1/31/15 Server-Side Scripting Languages Server-side scripting is the ability to satisfy a client's request by running a script right from the web server to create dynamic web pages. It is generally used to give interactive web sites an interface to databases or other information sources. This is not the same as client-side scripting where scripts are controlled by the web browser. The biggest advantage to server-side scripting is the ability to customize nearly everything on the web site to suit the individual's needs. From a network security aspect, it also allows the owner to keep users from gaining access to important information within their network easily. There are multiple server-side scripting languages, but it is important to have an understanding of a few of them. Cold Fusion Markup Language is one very common language. According to the Adobe support website (n.d.): ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a tag-based language, similar to HTML, that uses special tags and functions. With CFML, you can enhance standard HTML files with database commands, conditional operators, high-level formatting functions, and other elements to rapidly produce easy-to-maintain web applications. However, CFML is not limited to enhancing HTML. For example, you can create Adobe Flash applications that consist entirely of Flash elements and CFML. Similarly, you can use CFML to create web services for use by other...

...things within the industry competition can be removed? Are there any factors that could be reduced below industry standards in order to create value? What can be created in this industry that no one else has offered before (Blue Ocean Strategy, 2015)? Coming up with solutions and answers to each of these questions can move a product farther into the blue ocean where competition has no effect on your product or service. These questions can also help companies understand where their product lies within the market and realize just how similar or different their product actually is (Blue Ocean Strategy, 2015). A product that entered the blue ocean a few years ago was the Yamaha Rhino. This is a utility terrain vehicle (UTV). Passengers sit side by side and the vehicle is much like a jeep just less expensive. Before this vehicle was introduced into the...

...Server Side Security Unit 1 Individual ProjectRunning head: SERVER SIDE SECURITY UNIT 1 IP Server Side Security Unit 1 Individual Project American Intercontinental University IT465-1102B-02: Intrusion Detection and Prevention for Windows Security June 12, 2011 Basic Server Security The four basic necessities of server security include antivirus, strong passwords, firewalls, and critical updates. Antivirus software prevents infiltration and/or stops an attack completely. It will check a set of coding against a database of virus codes. It is important to use a well stocked virus database source. Strong passwords are typically ten to fourteen characters in length, a mix of numbers, symbols, upper, and lower cases lettering. Patterns, names, and identifiable information should be avoided (HostingHelpers, 2008). Critical updates include receiving security updates from an online source. These are done in forms of patches and/or updates that will correct coding, fix exploitable code, and a wealth of other things. These are vital to working with several applications. Firewalls are able to block unwanted traffic. These can help with security and keep random connection attempts form using up server and system resources (HostingHelpers, 2008). Firewalls Firewalls are very resourceful. Depending on the size of the company and users, choosing the correct firewall can be critical. There are many firewalls out there and companies that produce them both freely and paid. You...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction The world of information has changed dramatically. These widespread changes may be considered a precursor to a second industrial revolution from which an information society may emerge. In the field of education, academic institutions are continuously challenged by social events unfolding in its midst. Developments in the workplace, changes in students’ demographics, and economic trends force educational institutions to change. Despite the improvement of educational institutions, employers and students have needs that the current education system failed to meet. In order to survive these upheavals, educators must improve their teaching and learning using technology. Quality education calls for educator who can give quality teaching. Hence, quality teaching requires quality techniques. Techniques are the practices and refinement of presentations which an educator employs to make instructions more effective when using a specific method of teaching. Educators should select appropriate learning materials to associate learning into a larger whole. Cruz (2004) said that the nature of the computer subject calls for an intensive and comprehensive way of presenting the lessons through advanced technology. The future ramifications of adopting technology into instructional settings can be significant and far-reaching and can produce a substantial and a direct result of technological innovations. Educational technology...

Recently though, more and more people have been building their own websites and scripting languages have become more important. Because of this, scripting languages are becomming easier to learn and PHP is one of the easiest and most powerful yet. What Is PHP? PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor and is a server-side language. This means that the script is run on your web server, not on the user's browser, so you do not need to worry about compatibility issues. PHP is relatively new (compared to languages such as Perl (CGI) and Java) but is quickly becomming one of the most popular scripting languages on the internet. Why PHP? You may be wondering why you should choose PHP over other languages such as Perl or even why you should learn a scripting language at all. I will deal with learning scripting languages first. Learning a scripting language, or even understanding one, can open up huge new possibilities for your website. Although you can download pre-made scripts from sites like Hotscripts, these will often contain advertising for the author or will not do exactly what...

...CHAPTER ONE GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Real estate can be described as Property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals or water, immovable property of this nature, buildings or housing in general. Estate management is the operation, control, and oversight of commercial, industrial or residential real estate, usually on behalf of an owner. Management indicates a need for the property to be cared for, monitored and accountability given for its usable life and condition. This is much similar to the role of management in any business. This involves the processes, systems and manpower required to manage the life cycle of all acquired property as defined above including acquisition, control, accountability, responsibility, maintenance, utilization, and disposition. One important role of a Property Manager is that of liaison between the Owner of record and the actual tenant/lessee, providing a buffer for those owners who desire to distance themselves from their tenant constituency Other roles of the Property Manager include gathering data on tenant payment habits as well as maintaining and keeping records about tenant contacts, lease terms, property features, security deposits and payment history. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Property Managers encounter a number of problems when performing their role of estate management. These are discussed in brief...

...Term Paper Website Migration CIS University 09/07/15 Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. Therefore, the site will be redesigned so that customers will be able to place orders through the website and have them delivered as before. The design of the new system will be able to provide more data storage, faster retrieval, better security features and recovery solutions in the event that the website has any problems. With the operational reliability of the existing system, this will make it easier to improve the new system. The first part of the project goal is to discuss what it will take to build the web architecture, then what will have to be done to move the existing Website with minimal downtime, and then provide a disaster recovery plan in the event that the website should crash or stop working. In order to build the architecture, migrate the existing website along with adding the ability for the customers to place orders online and providing for redundancy of the site the system development life cycle (SDLC) will be used. The SDLC consists of five phases that will be utilized in this project and the five phases are systems planning, systems analysis...

...failures are caused across the server of a typical distributed system and if these failures are occurred operations of the server are halt for some time. Operating system failures are the best examples for this case and the corresponding fault tolerant systems are developed with respect to these affects. Timing failures: Timing failures are caused across the server of a distributed system. The usual behavior of these timing failures would be like that the server response time towards the client requests would be more than the expected range. Control flow out of the responses may be caused due to these timing failures and the corresponding clients may give up as they can’t wait for the required response from the server and thus the server operations are failed due to this. Omission failures: Omission failures are caused across the server due to lack or reply or response from the server across the distributed systems. There are different issues raised due to these omission failures and the key among them are server not listening or a typical buffer overflow errors across the servers of the distributed systems. Byzantine failures: Byzantine failures are also know as arbitrary failures and these failures are caused across the server of the distributed systems. These failures cause the server to behave arbitrary in nature and the server responds in an arbitrary passion at arbitrary times across the distributed systems. Output from the server would be inappropriate and there...

...RPC. A) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) provides a different pattern for accessing network services.It provides Instead of accessing remote services by sending and receiving messages, a client invokes services by making a local procedure call. The local procedure hides the details of the network communication. The main purpose of RPC is to hide the existence of the network from a program.RPC is especially well suited for client-server (e.g., query-response) interaction in which the flow of control alternates between the client and server. Conceptually, the client and server do not both execute at the same time. Instead, the thread of execution jumps from the caller to the callee and then back again. 2. When two computers request a connection, what are the four primary actions that the Session Layer takes? A)the two...

...In this paper I am supposed to describe the differences between a server, and a workstation. I will provide a few comparisons that will be able to show you these differences. While looking into these comparisons, I have realized there are not too many similarities of the two. So the following is the information that I have found while looking the information up about servers, and workstations. Let’s start with the definition of the two. The server is a type of application and/or device that will provide a service for the connected clients as part of the client server architecture. A server is designed particularly for networking. While, a workstation is a computer that is being used to power applications such as graphic art, video editing, or other CPU/RAM software. These are two completely different definitions. Moving onto the functions and operating systems of these two categories the only similarity you will see in both is Linux. Besides that they are different. The server has the functions of Internet, Office, Education, and Home networks. The workstation has functions of, business, Design, Engineering, and Multi-Media Production. With the Operating systems the server side has Free BSD, Solaris, Linux, and Windows server. On the other side with the Workstation it is Unix, Linux, and Windows workstation. Looking at the information provided, does show that there are definite differences between the two. They should not be comparable on to many...

...internet via a communication network, and it can also access the system resources from the internet. File server is being downloaded now by TCP/IP protocol, while before it was downloaded by signal server. Due to the limited flow control, the old method could not use download time efficiently. In order to solve the flow control problem, some researchers came up with a distributed file transfer method that can share the document with other users, thus allowing the shortest transfer time using neighboring servers. Although the distributed file transfer can reduce the file transfer time, it was not concerned with the quality of the transfer between two servers, and was inappropriate for file segmentation and transfer, so the file transfer could not attain the optimal transfer efficacy. Based on our research, we propose a new method called Distributed Parallelized File Transfer Protocol (DPFTP). This method is based on Parallelized File Transfer Protocol (P-FTP) and is beneficial to multi-users, as it utilizes server loading and reduces the download time. Keywords—FTP; P-FTP; DPFTP ; multi-users; (Autonomous System) P-FTP server in the center of the area and message passing to allow the client to download from multiple file servers by parallel transfer. The P-FTP file transfer protocol, divided into three parts performance, includes the client, PFTP server and mirror servers; the P-FTP flow chat as shown in fig 1[2]. II.

... The layers also help mitigate external threats like hackers by using firewalls and shutting traffic out of the internal network. 2. Why is it a good idea to put shared servers and services on a DMZ when both internal and external users need access? When you have a DMZ there are two firewalls to protect the internal network from external threats. The necessary servers can be placed between the two in order to allow access from either side through strict firewalls while still allowing very little external traffic into the internal zone. The outermost firewall can allow a certain set of traffic to come in and access the servers. The inner most firewall blocks access into the intranet while allowing internal users to access the information on the servers. 3. What recommendations do you have for the future e-commerce server and deployment in regards to physical location and back-end security for privacy data and credit card data? I would place the e-commerce server in the DMZ with the private and credit card data stored inside the internal network. The commerce server will have access to the private data and will pass it in an encrypted form to and from wherever it needs to go. The e-commerce server will be physically secured in the server room, possibly with an added locked server...

...Network Interface Card (NIC) Any computer that is to be connected to a network, needs to have a network interface card (NIC). Most modern computers have these devices built into the motherboard, but in some computers you have to add an extra expansion card (small circuitboard) Some computers, such as laptops, have two NICs: one for wired connections, and one for wireless connections (which uses radio signals instead of wires) In a laptop, the wireless radio antenna is usually built in to the side of the screen, so you don't need to have a long bit of plastic sticking out the side of your computer! Network Cable To connect together different devices to make up a network, you need cables. Cables are still used in most networks, rather than using only wireless, because they can carry much more data per second, and are more secure (less open to hacking). The most common type of network cable cable in use today looks like the one shown above, with plastic plugs on the ends that snap into sockets on the network devices. Inside the cable are several copper wires (some used for sending data in one direction, and some for the other direction). Hub A hub is a device that connects a number of computers together to make a LAN. The typical use of a hub is at the centre of a star network (or as part of a hybrid network) - the hub has cables plugged into it from each computer. A hub is a ‘dumb’ device: if it receives a message, it sends it to every computer...

...benefits? Virtual Computing: What is it? What are the Benefits? Introduction Partitioning or dividing the resources of a single server into multiple segregated VMs is virtualization. Virtual computing allows organizations to save technical resources and money. There are various virtual computing applications which are useful to organizations. The benefits of virtual computing are achieving faster system speeds, eliminating upfront capital costs, managing corporate desktops in an efficient way and allowing reduction in power costs. Main VMs were originally in use by IBM around 1960 and were intended to leverage investments in pricy mainframe computers. “Virtualization, or technology that allows one physical PC or server to act like many separate computers, is just one of many strains on traditional software licensing. In the old days, things were simple: Each program ran once on a computer that had a single user and a single processor. Now, it is not uncommon for a program or operating system to be running multiple times on the same piece of hardware, which may be powered by multiple processors, or a single chip with multiple processing cores.” (Fried, 2006) With virtual computing allows users remote access to software applications and processes whenever it is needed. Access is gained through the internet, wireless network or network server. Through virtual computing providers, users can download and use more than one operating system and perform a multitude of functions...
