Greynets ……as we call them.....

So far the blogs I have wrote were not directly related to my field … but this one is tightly coupled, if not the only reason, with our company’s short and long-time goals. Before I start I must admit that I m not very old in this field and that’s why, I will write only what I have learned so far. If you find me at something which sounds wrong to you, I will love to know that via your comments…and I promise that I will not feel offended…. instead I will appreciate that

Greynets ……as we call them.....

You can get its proper definition on Internet, so I will just give you a brief introduction of it. Greynet sites are the Internet applications, which generally does not create a direct threat as far as security is concerned but is very evasive in nature and that’s why it’s a subject of worry for companies. As you can see its name itself tells you something very important about it. “Grey”, as far as I believe this prefix may have been used for these sites because of their unpredictable behavior and unpredictable threats they offer. Might be because of the reason that people are still researching on them and by the time they unravel some of “grey “ parts related to these sites….. Their creators add on many more of such unanalyzed patches. So far its sound a bit confusing !!! don’t worry, I will explain it…step by step, But in short

Lets start with the examples of greynets and disadvantages (at corporate level). Orkut, FaceBook and social sites like them are famous examples but greynet sites not only constrained to them but includes much more than social networking sites. Greynet sites are really entertaining if u will consider an individual…. for example, social networking sites provide a good opportunity to be in contact with our old pals (and much more than that…). If you will ask individually everyone will advocate in the support of these sites…even I m a big supporter of these sites and enjoy being online on them.

But, Now change your angle of view and think from the point of companies!!! Although these sites doesn’t poses a security threat for any organization…hardly u would have heard that someone did “data theft” using orkut!!!! Rite. But look at network level. Besides killing the valuable time of employees (which could be otherwise very productive…) it just slaughters the bandwidth. Believe me bandwidth is as important for any organization as its network itself. I mean, what is the benefit of having a good speed network connection on which half of traffic is for unproductive purposes!!!!

After citing the examples and disadvantages in as short as possible, I will move on explaining the “grey” areas involved in these applications particularly in social networking sites. After understanding that next buzz in Internet security will be Social Networking sites, almost all of the companies who are into Internet security, started analyzing these sites in as deep as possible. They also did a lot of researches and many are still going on…. But suddenly came the innovative idea of adding custom applications with your profile on these sites!!! Remember now days we get option on facebook to add “movie quiz”, or add some “market place” and applications like that…. You will think how is that a problem ???Well, without going in deep I will just give small stats: - there are about 20000 such applications, which you can add on facebook and this number is increasing like anything. Each application has its own behavior and is not similar to other one.... resulting into a need of customized analysis of them indivisually, which is not at all easy!!!!
Now I believe you will be able to understand how big this issue is for Internet community.
.
I will try to keep posting anything important related to this topic but will also feel great to receive comments from you guys…

Keep smiling….

Falling in Love

Right from the beginning, I never understood the word called "Love"....although I respect all those who pretend to be in love....time and again.

so far my experience of life makes me think that love is collaboration of a lot of feelings and that’s why, What I understand is affection for someone....care for someone...Willingness to spent our whole life with someone, sharing all the moments, all the emotions, all the up and downs, all the responsibilities, all the power and... List goes on.....

I strongly believe that a relationship must be on the basis of matured decision of two and not based on only infatuation or thirst for sex.i know and accept that a relationship is bound to start from infatuation but if that is the only guiding force then I m certain it will end within flashes. We should understand that being a guy we have different way of dealing with our life (most of the time it’s a wrong way....) and at the same time our partner being a girl has their own way to deal with the same. I don't have any hesitation in accepting that personally I find myself a bit kiddish at time and wish that if I could have acted more appropriately at times, it would be great....In the same time when I remember my friends who are girls(And its not same as girl friends....),I admire their balanced life style.hmmmmmm....It may be because of attraction towards friends of opposite gender but it can't be so strong that I can just criticize myself......so there is some substance in their overall persona(at least most of them....).

After comparing mars and Venus in my own way, the second point I would like to talk on is falling in love...well as said by some unknown genius and repeated by many of my friends: - "Don't fall in love, but rise in love!!!"But how to do so??? well if I have to say then it is as simple as that ....I will love someone because she might be very beautiful(first and important reason which we all have but perhaps no one wants to accept..) then she might be different from others in the way she carries her self.....in the sense she talks, she walks and ....then all together we can say that her overall personality could be so attractive that I will feel that she might the one with whom I can forget everyone in this world.....

Now after so much of positive thoughts why is it so that most of us don't find them selves comfortable when we come to know that our partner doesn't thinks same for us???.....Because we are Human being and we have a disastrous heart to put ourselves in difficult situations, if not always then quite often!!!Rite..... But is it a strong reason to destroy our carrier....our life?

Certainly, Not...but most of us does......And I m proud to say that at least I did not.....What should be the best peel at the time when we are down with "love's hang-over"......well! Reasons may be our family...our friends and all those who loves us....have faith on us....have expectations from us...and somewhere the hope to get her back....or just to convince her that her decisions can't be always rite!!!! It might be so that by the time you prove a point it may be so late and she might have got someone in her life but then also don't u feel that at least by achieving ur goals in life you can prove a point to all.....And point is quite clear..

That You are a strong person....you feel sad for her not being with you but that can't just shatter you.....You can motivate yourself to get anything and everything and what more is that you understand your responsibilities towards your family..And your loved ones and you can fulfill them in best possible manner. It will not only prove a point to others but it will also give a big boost to your confidence,.....and success will become your habbit.I know most of you who would read this blog will say why to prove a point to a girl who doesn't love u??And my answer will be sorry but it’s a hard fact that even we can pretend not to remember her but we hardly do anything without keeping her in our mind.....


Without writing a big story on this I would love to come on the bottom line, we should be always clear what we want out of our life, no matter what!!! Believe me if some one doesn't love us in return, Theirs nothing wrong till we understand that they have their own preferences.....but what more we should understand is that its not the end, Its the beginning....its going to make You more matured more thoughtful and ultimately it will make you a person who will understand the importance and will respect his relationship a lot, in future....a person who will respect his partner and all those moments which he had miss in past....


So cheers for a bright future and don't creep on what you lost...[:)] and please let me know if you want to share something more on this....

The power of "Hello world"

“Hello world”
We all software professionals know this phrase very well…. rite!!!!
Start learning any language (if not all then most of them…) the first practical example would be a “hello world” program. I always use to think why these all writers’ starts with this phrase only and not any other phrase. Might be the one who wrote first most famous article or book on some language would have used this as first example and then all other writers just followed, But then again question arises what made any or all of them to choose this phrase only!!!!
Well, for most of us it really does not matter… but don’t u think it will be fun to understand that what actually drove them to use it.
As far as I see it I find that it’s because of the power of this phrase …… this phrase can be seen as a declaration or a pledge from our end, as learner of any new language, that we will implement the knowledge for the betterment of this world. We are only introducing ourselves to the world with this first program And is setting an expectation that world can expect much more fruitful implementation of our knowledge in future.
But, do we really keeping up our promise??? We better know the answer….

Without digging the issue , I would like to keep it simple….What you guys feel about authors using “hello world ” example as first step towards teaching the languages? Think something wizard ;)
