Wish you had a Computer Science degree?

2011-09-25T03:20:00.001-07:00

Lots of great engineers have degrees in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Math.....anything really, including no degree. However, some companies interview in a

Interview tips for the rest of us.....

2011-09-25T03:08:00.000-07:00

Ok, so loyal readers will know that most of my interview tips focus on engineering type roles. Well, I can’t code....not a lick. So, I thought I’d spend a few minutes talking about some interview tips for the rest of us. Those non-technical masses who must prepare a little differently for an interview. Here you go, how to prepare for that non-technical role you are dying to get!

Give me the job!

2011-09-25T03:03:00.000-07:00

A tip you hear from a lot of recruiters is that at the end of the interview you should “Ask for the job!” You know, when the person interviewing you says “Any questions for me?” you say stuff like: “ Do you think I’m a good fit for this job?”, “Are there any concerns with my background relative to this role?”, “What would keep you from hiring me?” there are a million of them but you

Why you should use Twitter to recruit

2011-09-25T03:02:00.001-07:00

Twitter....that mysterious and intimidating social media platform that many people find totally confusing. If you haven’t seen it, this video is amazing will give you a good laugh about Twitter. All joking aside, I use Twitter all the time and find it to be a great recruiting tool. Unfortunately, most recruiters I meet either tweet for fun (see above video) or don’t touch Twitter.

Networking 101

2011-09-25T02:02:00.001-07:00

I'm sure you've heard by now that networking has become the best way to find a job in the current job market. This makes a ton of sense because it's a lot easier t hire someone you "know" than some random person who floats in off a job posting. This trend unfortunately makes it harder and harder to get hired than ever before, PLUS networking is not easy. Networking is a skill

Are your references "professional"?

2011-09-25T01:54:00.001-07:00

What do your professional references say about you? Ever think about it? You should because no matter how good your interview went, if your references don't say good things about you....you're not getting that new job you want. Seems kinda harsh doesn't it? But it's true, a bad reference can single handedly sink an otherwise great opportunity. Ironically, most people pay little

What's a resume anyway?

2011-09-25T01:41:00.000-07:00

A lot of people ask me for advice on resumes, especially with the current job market being so difficult. It's made me think, what exactly is a resume and what makes a "good one". Here is what Wikipedia has to say: "A resume is a document that contains a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education. The resume or CV is typically the first item that a potential

2011-09-25T01:31:00.000-07:00

I'll start with a few tips on how to maximize your professional network, especially if you are in the middle of a job search! 1) Are you REALLY using LinkedIn? Most people are NOT using these tools to their full potential. If you are serious about building your network you should be actively connecting to college friends, former colleagues, that guy you met on your last flight home

Virus Origins

2011-09-21T07:04:00.001-07:00

Computer viruses are called viruses because they share some of the traits of biological viruses. A computer virus passes from computer to computer like a biological virus passes from person to person. Unlike a cell, a virus has no way to reproduce by itself. Instead, a biological virus must inject its DNA into a cell. The viral DNA then uses the cell's existing machinery to

On the second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft releases a list of known vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system. The company issues patches for those security holes at the same time, which is why the day is known as "Patch Tuesday." Viruses written and launched on Patch Tuesday to hit unpatched systems are known as "zero-day" attacks. Thankfully, the major anti-virus vendors work

Strange as it may sound, the computer virus is something of an Information Age marvel. On one hand, viruses show us how vulnerable we are -- a properly engineered virus can have a devastating effect, disrupting productivity and doing billions of dollars in damages. On the other hand, they show us how sophisticated and interconnected human beings have become For example, experts estimate

Types of Viruses

2011-09-21T06:53:00.002-07:00

There are many types of computer viruses: File virus : Most viruses fall into this category. A virus attaches itself to a file, usually a program file. Boot sector virus : These viruses infect floppy and hard drives. The virus program will load first, before the operating system. Macro Virus : This is a new type of virus that use an application's own macro

Trojan Horse is Not Virus! Strickly speaking, a trojan horse is NOT a virus because it does not replicate like ordinary viruses do. A trojan horse is an unfriendly program which will appear to be something other than what it is, for example a program that is disguised as a legitimate software program. Below are some common trojans: Back Orifice 2000 : BO2K allows outsiders to access

What is Computer Virus?

2011-09-21T06:50:00.000-07:00

A computer virus is an executable program. Depend on the nature of a virus, it may cause damage of your hard disk contents, and/or interfere normal operation of your computer. By definition, a virus program is able to replicate itself. This means that the virus multiplies on a computer by making copies of itself. This replication is intentional; it is part of the virus program. In

Vulnerability and countermeasures

2011-09-21T06:46:00.000-07:00

The vulnerability of operating systems to viruses Just as genetic diversity in a population decreases the chance of a single disease wiping out a population, the diversity of software systems on a network similarly limits the destructive potential of viruses. This became a particular concern in the 1990s, when Microsoft gained market dominance in desktop operating systems and office

Methods to avoid detection

2011-09-21T06:45:00.000-07:00

In order to avoid detection by users, some viruses employ different kinds of deception. Some old viruses, especially on the MS-DOS platform, make sure that the "last modified" date of a host file stays the same when the file is infected by the virus. This approach does not fool anti-virus software, however, especially those which maintain and date Cyclic redundancy checks on file changes.

Vectors and hosts

2011-09-21T06:43:00.001-07:00

Viruses have targeted various types of transmission media or hosts. This list is not exhaustive: Binary executable files (such as COM files and EXE files in MS-DOS, Portable Executable files in Microsoft Windows, the Mach-O format in OSX, and ELF files in Linux) Volume Boot Records of floppy disks and hard disk partitions The master boot record (MBR) of a hard disk General-purpose

Infection strategies

2011-09-21T06:42:00.001-07:00

In order to replicate itself, a virus must be permitted to execute code and write to memory. For this reason, many viruses attach themselves to executable files that may be part of legitimate programs. If a user attempts to launch an infected program, the virus' code may be executed simultaneously. Viruses can be divided into two types based on their behavior when they are executed.

Virus programs

2011-09-21T06:41:00.000-07:00

The Creeper virus was first detected on ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, in the early 1970s.[10] Creeper was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies in 1971.[11] Creeper used the ARPANET to infect DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system.[12] Creeper gained access via the ARPANET and copied itself to the remote system where
