Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a computer networking protocol for securing connections between network application clients and servers over an insecure network, such as the internet. Due to numerous protocol and implementation flaws and vulnerabilities, SSL was deprecated for use on the internet by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 2015 and has been replaced by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. While TLS and SSL are not interoperable, TLS is back...

Converged Network Adapter CNA
Converged Network Adapter CNA
Converged Network Adapter CNA: A converged network adapter (CNA) is a single network interface card (NIC) that contains both a Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) and a TCP/IP Ethernet NIC. It connects servers to FC-based storage area networks (SANs) and Ethernet-based local area networks (LANs).
The CNA connects to the server via a PCI Express (PCIe) interface. The server sends both FC SAN and LAN and traffic to an Ethernet port on a converged switch ...

Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
A host bus adapter (HBA) is a circuit board and/or integrated circuit adapter that provides input/output (I/O) processing and physical connectivity between a host system, or server, and a storage and/or network device. Because an HBA typically relieves the host microprocessor of both data storage and retrieval tasks, it can improve the server's performance time. An HBA and its associated disk subsystems are sometimes referred to as a disk channel.
HBAs are typically ...

What is IP Spoofing?
What is IP Spoofing?
IP Spoofing is a technique used to gain unauthorized access to machines, whereby an attacker illicitly impersonate another machine by manipulating IP packets. IP Spoofing involves modifying the packet header with a forged (spoofed) source IP address, a checksum, and the order value. Internet is a packet switched network, which causes the packets leaving one machine may be arriving at the destination machine in different order. The receiving machine resembles the m...

guest OS (guest operating system)
A guest OS is the software installed on either a virtual machine (VM) or partitioned disk that describes an operating system that is different than the host operating system.
Virtualization technology allows a computer to run more than a single OS at the same time. A guest OS on a virtual machine can be different from the host OS while a guest OS on a partitioned disk must be the same be the same as the host OS. For example, if the host OS is running Windows...
