Describe the similarities and differences between these utilities: a. scp and ftp SCP stands for Secure Copy Protocol, and FTP is an acronym for the File Transfer Protocol, which was the original file transfer protocol. SCP and FTP are two applications for copying files from one computer to another. Both were originally based on their own protocols, but both now use different protocols b. ssh and telnet Both are text-based protocols: mouse movements cannot be transferred only keystrokes. Both are connection-oriented and are client-server protocols. The main difference is in security. SSH offers security mechanisms that protect the users against anyone with malicious intent while Telnet has no security measures whatsoever c. rsh and ssh They...

...Domain Name System (DNS) is defined by the website www.wikipedia.org as a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the internet or a private network. DNS translates to numerical internet protocol IP addresses. DNS structure consists of the root level, top level and second level. The top of the DNS hierarchy is called the root domain. This is simply the starting point of the top level domain structure on the Internet. The next level in the hierarchy is divided into a series of nodes called the top-level domains. According to the website http://technet.microsoft.com,the top-level domains are assigned by organization type and by country/region. The second level domains contain the domains and names for organizations and countries/regions. The Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) manages the names and DNS servers of the root domain and the top-level domains. Individual organizations are responsible for managing the names in their second-level domains while the names in second-level domains are administered by the organization or country/region either directly or by using an Internet service provider (ISP) who manages the names on the customer's behalf. Naming in DNS is also hierarchical, and names are parsed from right to left. A domain name always ends with an implicit period, or dot (such as com, net, and org). Whenever you type a URL in to your web browsing program, you are depending on DNS records to get you to the...

...Josslynn Brown Linux NT1430 Chapter 1 1) Free software is software that gives you the user the freedom to share, study and modify it. We call this free software because the user is free. To use free software is to make a political and ethical choice asserting the right to learn, and share what we learn with others. The three main characteristics of free software are: The source code has to be distributed with the program, you cannot restrict people from redistributing/modifying/using the software, and users must be allowed to redistribute modified versions under the same terms/licensing. 2) Question # 4: The Free Software Foundation) is the principal organizational sponsor of the GNU Project. GNU developed many of the tools, including the C compiler that are part of the Linux operating system. Linux is the name of the operating system kernel developed by Linus Torvalds, which has since been expanded and improved by thousands of people on the Internet. Torvalds’s kernel and GNU’s tools work together as the Linux operating system.

...Matt Moore NT1430 5-30-13 Research Paper When it comes to IPv6 there are a lot of topics that can be discussed. It will change the Internet forever as we know it. IPv4 is the fourth version of protocol using a 32 bit address space whereas IPv6 will be using 128 bits of hexadecimal addressing to allow for drastically more addresses. Currently IPv4 allows roughly 4,294,967,296 possible addresses and with the current allocation practices it limits the number of public address to a few hundred million. In contrast, the 128 bit address space that IPv6 uses can provide roughly 3.4 x 1038 possible addresses. The sheer size of the IPv6 address allows for the subdividing of the address into a hierarchical routing structure that in turn can reflect the current topology of the Internet. This will provide great flexibility for the addressing and routing in the future where the IPv4 obviously lacks in comparison. It would hard to imagine a world where we do have anymore Internet addresses to go around. This should hopefully solve that problem, at least for a while to come. When configuring DHCP on Linux to use IPv6 one must be sure that they have everything in order. The two most used means of auto configuration IPS are on the router advertisement and dhcpv6. When you are using the RA a server daemon needs to advertise a network prefix which is typically a /64, gateway and sometimes a DNS server. Then the Client machines can auto configure their IPv6 addresses when they...

...Please ignore: TODAY it seems to me providential that Fate should have chosen Braunau on the Inn as my birthplace. For this little town lies on the boundary between two German states which we of the younger generation at least have made it our life work to reunite by every means at our disposal. German-Austria must return to the great German mother country, and not because of any economic considerations. No, and again no: even if such a union were unimportant from an economic point of view; yes, even if it were harmful, it must nevertheless take place. One blood demands one Reich. Never will the German nation possess the moral right to engage in colonial politics until, at least, it embraces its own sons within a single state. Only when the Reich borders include the very last German, but can no longer guarantee his daily bread, will the moral right to acquire foreign soil arise from the distress of our own people. Their sword will become our plow, and from the tears of war the daily bread of future generations will grow. And so this little city on the border seems to me the symbol of a great mission. And in another respect as well, it looms as an admonition to the present day. More than a hundred years ago, this insignificant place had the distinction of being immortalized in the annals at least of German history, for it was the scene of a tragic catastrophe which gripped the entire German nation. At the time of our fatherland's deepest humiliation, Johannes Palm of Nuremberg...

...1. What is free software? List three characteristics of free software. a. Free software, also known as software libre, or open source software, is a type of software that can be used and modified by the software owner, as well as redistributed. b. Free software is not synonymous with "freeware," which is software that is available for use free of charge, but may or may not be modified. This software is sometimes also free of charge, but sometimes requires a fee to purchase; the "free" in the name refers to the fact that it may be freely used and changed. 2. Why is Linux popular? Why is it popular in academia? a. It is very fast, easy to use and reliable. Writing programs and scripting on Linux is often times much easier than doing so on Windows as many of the users are that use Linux are computer savy but also because the framework that makes up Linux is completely open source, thus allowing programmers to program with Linux not around it. b. Students understand the source code for the operating system and how Linux works without complications. 3. What are multiuser systems? Why are they successful? a. A multi-user operating system is a computer operating system (OS) that allows multiple users on different computers or terminals to access a single system with one OS on it. b. Because you can add a user to your computer and have a different profile then another user, instead of buying another computer. This makes it cost effective. 4. What is the Free Software...
