We have two tabs available in the menu bar i.e. ‘Users’ and ‘Computers’. Using these tabs an
administrator can control the data access of the users, storage drives of each computer available
in LAN and also the usage of computer by specific user(s). It is possible that one user can have
access on more than one client machines and one client machine can have more than one users
working on it.
On upper right panel of screenshot, five buttons are located viz. Add, Edit, Copy, Delete and
Select All through which an administrator can manage users.

4.2.1 Managing Mail Users
Mail Users feature of BLACKbox Prime Server Mail Server -
 Manages mail users

 Provides access to internal mails without internet
 Grants privileges
 Keeps vigilance on incoming/outgoing mails
 Manages User Groups
With emails are becoming one of the most important mediums for communication within the
organization and outside it, it is becoming necessary to provide email accounts to the employees
of an organization with appropriate privileges. It is also inevitable to keep vigilance on incoming
and outgoing mails for various reasons best known to the business people. This goal can be
achieved by using ‘Mail Users’ feature of BLACKbox Prime Server Mail Server.
When we talk of mail users we have to understand that users are the end users who will
send/receive mails through Mail Client like outlook, Eudora, etc. All the users created through
‘Mail Users’ feature should also be created in respective mail client with same user and
password.
Mail Users tab of BLACKbox Prime Server mail server can perform following operations:

M. POP Users
POP Users feature of BLACKbox Prime Server Mail Server -
 Creates new POP user

 Removes existing POP user
 Update properties of existing POP user
POP is an abbreviation of Post Office Protocol. It is a protocol used by mail clients to download
messages from a mail server on the Internet.
A user may have email account, provided free by a mail service provider. Popularly known mail
service providers are Google (Gmail), MSN (hotmail, live), and Yahoo etc. Or an organization
may have its own domain along with mailing facility and users of this organization are provided
with email accounts on its domain.
In Chapter 1 we have learnt about local mail users. Local mail users must have POP user account.
Let us take an example and understand the scenario.
Synersoft Technologies Private Limited is an organization. It has a domain name Synersoft.in.

Mr. Niket Shah is one of the employees of Synersoft Technologies Private Limited. Mr. Niket
Shah has a personal free email account namely niket.shah@gmail.com. On BLACKbox Prime
Server mail server, his local mail user is created as niket.shah. Initially his free gmail account is
taken as POP user account and it is mapped with local mail user niket.shah. Now mail server
administrator has decided to provide official email account whose address will be organization’s
domain. Thus official email account of Mr. Niket Shah will be niket.shah@synersoft.in.
Using BLACKbox Prime Server mail server, an administrator can manage POP users, whose
messages are downloaded from remote mail server on the Internet, and then distributed locally as
per the mapping list prepared while managing Mail Users tab.
Let us understand in depth, how POP users are managed on BLACKbox Prime Server Mail
Server. We will also use screenshots as and when required.
13.1 POP Users
Prime Server control centre. Click on Mail Users tab. .(Screenshot – 13.2)
５７
BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server has PopUser tab to create, remove and/or configure
POP users.
Screenshot – 13.2 Mail Server Console (PopUser Tab)
First, let us understand how to create POP user. Click on Add button to create POP user. The
 To add new pop user fills up information in the form as provided by your mail solution
provider.
５８
 The first three fields viz. Pop User, Email_ID and Password are self explanatory. Specify
POP username, email address of the POP user and password.
 In this form, Default User is the user created from user list, who will receive mail if no
email-id in distribution table matches with recipient’s email-id in downloaded mail. (To
learn more about Distribution List refer to Chapter 5.) Select the default user. It can be
configured as per organization policy.
 Specify IP address of POP server in POP Server field and port number in POP Port field.
Normally they are provided by mail solution provider.
Screenshot – 13.3 Add New POP User
 If you want to connect to Gmail or Gmail like mail server with SSL connection then
check Secure Connection checkbox and provide POP3 Port related to that mail server.
E.g. some mail servers are required to connect on port 995 for SSL connection. By
default, an administrator should specify port number 110.
 To keep copy of mail on remote server check Keep Mail Copy checkbox.
 Select duration in number of days for keeping copy of mails on remote server.
 If Ignore Distribution checkbox is checked then distribution list will not be considered
and mail is directly delivered to default user.
Note: Uncheck Keep Mail Copy checkbox for storage optimization on remote server. Increase of
size of mail box on remote server after exceeding its limit, may stop receiving of new mails on
remote server for that POP account.
The PopUser tab screen will look like following screenshot, once new POP user testing is added
to the mail server.

Distribution List
Distribution List tab of BLACKbox Prime Server mail server can perform following
operations:
 Configure and maintains distribution list of recipients.

 Configure and maintains distribution list of senders.
 Add email address and map it to the local mail user.
 Remove/delete email address from the distribution list.
We have already described the features of managing local mail users using Mail Users tab of
BLACKbox Prime Server mail server console (refer to Chapter 12). We have also explained that
what is Post Office Protocol and how POP users are managed on BLACKbox Prime Server mail
server (refer to Chapter 13). The most important thing regarding binding of POP users with their
appropriate local mail users’ account, is to define the rules as per the constraints and policy of
the organization provided to the mail server administrator, so as to enable proper distribution of
mails received and proper delivery of the mails sent. Let us understand these rules, which are
common to almost all organization.
Rules: To define rules and apply them to users, it is also important to understand that from
where and how the local users will be accessing their received mails and how they will be
sending their mails. There are possibilities that - 1) some users access their mails sitting in the
office only. Thus their computing devices will be on local area network, and 2) some users are
entrusted with field duties. Hence they may access their mails from outside the office.
Scenario 1 will have two options: 1) user uses single machine or 2) user uses more than one
machine on local area network.
Scenario 2 will have two options: 1) user uses laptop and/or 2) user uses cybercafé or other
means to access their mail.
All these possibilities are managed by BLACKbox Prime Server mail server using Distribution
List feature. Let us try to understand the same.
14.1 Distribution List Tab
Mail Server Console window will open, once user clicks on Mail Server Button in BLACKbox
Prime Server control centre. Click on Distribution List tab. .(Screenshot – 14.2)
６２
Screenshot – 14.1 BLACKbox Control Centre
Screenshot – 14.2 Mail Server Console (Distribution List Tab)
Under the row of Distribution List tab, two tabs are seen i.e. Recipient Distribution and Sender
Distribution. By default the Recipient Distribution tab is selected. Let us understand how the
mails are distributed by giving an example.
Distribution list contains information for Mail Server for distributing mail to end user depending
on his/her email-id. For example, suppose user SYSTEM sends mail to
general@enewhorizons.net then this mail should be delivered to which users is determined by
distribution list.
６３
Screenshot – 14.2 shows Distribution List tab selected and under this tab, Recipient Distribution
tab is selected. In this tab, the Distribution Table shows the email-id general@enewhorizons.net,
which is mapped to local mail users apporv.shah,
.majmudar, and isheeta.darji. Hence mail sent to email-id general@enewhorizons.net will be

received by apporv.shah, mruga.majmudar, isheeta.darji.
An email-id can be mapped to single mail user or multiple mail users depending on
organization’s policy.
Caution:
Improper distribution without any knowledge of intended purpose may cause losing of secret
information among unintended users.
Every user’s email-id must be mapped to respective user or users. If certain user is not mapped
with any email-id then that user will not receive any emails.
Distribution List can be configured for both Recipient and Sender.
Recipient Distribution:
When mail is sent to Email–Ids added in this List, then this mail should be delivered to which
users is determined by distribution list for that Email–Ids.
Sender Distribution:
When mail is sent by Email–Ids added in this List, then this mail should be delivered to which
users is determined by distribution list for that Email–Ids.
Screenshot – 5.1 displays Recipient Distribution list. Let us have a look at Sender Distribution
list. Refer to following screenshot.
Screenshot – 14.3 Sender Distribution List
６４
14.2 Add Email-Id to Distribution List
Let us understand how an Email-Id is added to both Distribution Lists – Recipient and Sender.
Refer to Screenshot 14.2 and Screenshot 14.3.
To add entry to distribution list, type email-id next to “Email_ID” label in Add Distribution
panel.
Figure – 14.1 Add Distribution Panel
Then select user to be mapped to the added email-id. An administrator can select user from
Select User list displayed in Add Distribution panel.
Multiple users can be selected by holding CTRL key. After specifying email-id and selecting
users; click Add Entry button. Now this new user entry will appear in Distribution Table.
14.3 Remove Email-Id from Distribution List
Let us understand how an Email-Id is removed from both Distribution Lists – Recipient and
Sender. Refer to Screenshot 14.2 and Screenshot 14.3.
To remove email-id from Distribution List select email-ids from Current Email-Id List available
in Remove Distribution panel.
Figure – 14.2 Remove Distribution Panel
６５
To select multiple entries hold CTRL key while selecting email-ids. After selecting email-ids,
click on Delete Entry button. When asked for confirmation, click Yes button if you want to
delete selected email-ids; and click No button or Cancel button if you don’t want to delete
selected email-ids. o that email-id will be removed from distribution table along with its mapping
list.

In a network environment, where internet access is provided to users of an organization, the

control of internet access is of the utmost importance. This goal can be achieved by using
Account Manager of BLACKbox
Account manager provides facility to manage users and their privileges. BLACKbox Prime
Server can perform following operations:
 Add new user to Internet Server and provide him internet access by assigning privileges,
thus controlling internet usage. The Privileges are of different nature Viz. a) User
authentication and authorization through password, b) IP address based access for a user,
c) MAC address based access for a user, d) Allowing or Denying access to list of
websites as mentioned in Web Filter feature, e) Assigning a group to the user, thus
providing privileges of pre-defined groups for the internet access, etc.
 Edit profile of existing user of Internet Server and modifying its privileges mentioned
above, on requirement basis so as to enable user to enjoy more privileges or limit the
resources.
 Delete existing user of Internet Server so as to disallow him from accessing internet.
 Report of Internet access details of User and the same can be sent to the authorities via
email address.
 Export current user account details in excel file.
 Select all existing users, thus allowing BLACKbox administrator to grant privileges at
one go and saving the time of operation.

Web Filter
 Manage ‘Allow’ Web Filter database by adding/removing websites and

assign the filter to proxy User to allow an access of listed websites.
 Manage ‘Deny’ Web Filter database by adding/removing websites and assign
the filter to proxy User to deny an access of listed websites.
 Manage ‘Allow’ Web Filter database by adding/removing websites and
assign the filter to proxy Group of users to allow an access of listed websites.
 Manage ‘Deny’ Web Filter database by adding/removing websites and assign
the filter to proxy Group of users to deny an access of listed websites.
Web Filter: A filter that focuses on World Wide Web traffic is called a "web filter". This feature
provides a mean to allow/deny access to URLs specified in a list, thus providing website filtering.
This is often used in a corporate, educational, or library environment, and anywhere else where
website filtering is desired.
 There are two types of web filters namely ‘ALLOW’ and ‘DENY’ which can be managed
through this feature. An administrator can add URLs (websites) to the list or remove
URLs (websites) from both the lists.
 Pre-defined users can be loaded and then selected. Web filters can be loaded and applied
to the selected users. The web filters can also be modified by adding or removing URLs
(websites) which are to be applied to the user.
 Pre-defined groups can also be loaded and then selected. Web filters can be loaded and
applied to the selected group. The web filters can also be modified by adding or removing
URLs (websites) which are to be applied to the group.

Screenshot – 4.2 Internet Server Console (Web Filter Tab)
BLACKbox Prime Server has two types of web filters i.e. Allow and Deny. There is another
option namely None is also provided with Web Filter.
First, let us understand how to manage Allow Web Filter.
4.2 Managing Allow Web Filter To Be Applied To Proxy User
９６
By adding or removing websites to Allow filter, an administrator may control the access of
internet usage. Thus a user can be allowed an access to the websites stored in Allow website
database.
Steps to add websites to Allow Web Filter database:
 An administrator can select users directly. Users are displayed with checkboxes under
Proxy Users heading. In Screenshot – 4.2 we may see that user isheeta.d is selected,
which is a direct selection of user.
Figure – 4.1 Proxy User Selection
 Alternatively an administrator can select users by applying filter. To apply filter click on
Apply Selection button. In Screenshot - 4.2 ‘user with allow filter’ is selected. Under this
filter two users are available.
Figure – 4.2 Apply Selection
 Click Load Filter button to display current websites stored in the Allow Web Filter
database. (As seen in Figure 4.1)
 Enter keyword (name of website) in dialog box located next to Add to Allow button and
click Add to Allow.
Figure – 4.3 Add to Allow button
google
９７
“google” keyword is added in Proxy Users Allow Webfilter and it is assigned to selected
proxy user. (Screenshot 4.2)
 Thus user isheeta.d is allowed an access to Google website.
Steps to remove websites from Allow Web Filter database:
 Select users directly or by applying filter by Apply Selection button.

 Click Load Filter button to display current websites stored in the Allow Web Filter
database.
 Then select keyword (name of website) that you want to remove from the database and
click Remove button.
 In Screenshot – 4.2, if you select Google website from loaded filter database and remove
it by using Remove button, proxy user isheeta.d will not be in position to access Google
website.
4.3 Managing Deny Web Filter To Be Applied To Proxy User
In section 4.2, we have explained how to manage Allow Web Filter database and how the same
is applied to proxy user. Exactly in the same way an administrator can manage Deny Web Filter
database and the same can be applied to proxy users.
We will use Screenshot 4.2 to understand the features of adding websites to and/or removing
websites from the database of Deny Web Filter.
Steps to add websites to Deny Web Filter database:
 Select users directly or by applying filter by Apply Selection button. (Figure – 4.1 or
Figure – 4.2)
 Click Load Filter button to display current websites stored in the Deny Web Filter
database. (Figure – 4.1)
 Enter keyword (name of website) in dialog box located next to Add to Deny button and
click Add to Deny.
Figure – 4.4 Add to Deny button with text box

yahoo
“yahoo” keyword is added in Proxy Users Deny Webfilter and it is assigned to selected
proxy user.
 Thus user isheeta.d is denied an access to Yahoo website.
９８
Steps to remove websites from Deny Web Filter database:
 Select users directly or by applying filter by Apply Selection button.

 Click Load Filter button to display current websites stored in the Deny Web Filter
database.
Note: if Add to Allow and Add to Deny button are highlighted then you don’t require performing
first two steps for current proxy user selection and if multiple users are selected while pressing
Load Filter button then only those filter will appear in filter list (i.e. allow and deny) which are
common among selected users in respective allow or deny filter list.
4.4 Managing Allow Web Filter To Be Applied To Proxy Group
A proxy group can be created and Users can be assigned to this group. Instead of assigning Web
Filter to a user, an administrator can assign it to a Group (of users). Thus an administrator can be
freed from complex, tedious and time-consuming work of assigning Web Filter to each and
every user of an organization and precious man hours can saved. The second most important
advantage of assigning filter to a Group is avoiding errors in doing complex and tedious work of
assigning Web Filter to individual user. The more the work is complex and tedious the more
errors occurred.
Let us understand how Allow and Deny Web Filters are managed by administrator on
BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server. Refer Screenshot 4.3.
Screenshot – 4.3 Internet Server Console ( Web Filter to be assigned to Group )
９９
An administrator can manage Allow Web Filter by adding websites to the filter or removing
websites from the filter and assign it to a Group.
Steps to add websites to Allow Web Filter database:
 Select any Group from the list. In Screenshot – 4.2 we may see that Group accounts is
selected.
Figure – 4.5 Proxy Group selection
 Click Load Group Filter button to display current websites stored in the Allow Web Filter
database.
 Enter keyword (name of website) in dialog box located next to Add to Allow button and

Managing Content Filter
 Content Filter will prevent misuse by restricting access to website that

contains particular word.
 Ideally content filter should be applied to those users which are given full
Internet privilege.
Content Filter: Content filtering is commonly used by organizations to prevent computer users
from viewing inappropriate web sites or content, or as a pre-emptive security measure to prevent
access of known malware hosts. Some common methods used for content filtering include: URL
or DNS blacklists, or content keyword filtering. Some products have been known to employ
content analysis techniques to look for traits commonly used by certain types of content
providers. Filtering rules are typically set by a central IT department and may be implemented
via software on individual computers or at a central point on the network such as
the internet/proxy server or internet router. Depending on the sophistication of the system used, it
may be possible for different computer users to have different levels of internet access.
BLACKbox Prime Server internet server provides feature of content filter. It is generally used
for those users who are not assigned either Allow or Deny Web Filter. The users who are
assigned third option None Web Filter have full privilege granted to use internet. They can surf
all the websites. Under the circumstance, to prevent misuse of Internet use Content Filter feature
of BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server. This will prevent misuse by restricting access to
website that contains particular word.
5.1 Content Filter
１０３
BLACKbox Prime Server control centre. Click on Content Filter tab. (Screenshot – 5.2)
Screenshot – 5.2 Internet Server Console ( Content Filter Tab)
5.2 Managing Content Filter
Content Filter will prevent misuse by restricting access to website that contains particular word.
To use Content Filter an administrator needs to create content ID that can be assigned to any user.
And also content filter should be enabled in Proxy Settings (refer Chapter 9 to learn more about
Proxy Settings).
１０４
Currently in Screenshot – 5.2 we can observe that the word ‘stock’ is selected as Content Filter
and its occurrences are selected as 2. That means the webpage which contains word ‘stock’ as a
content and if it will occur for 2 or more than 2 times, the user will not be allowed an access to
that webpage or website, though the user is not assigned any Web Filter.
Example: Suppose an organization wants to restrict access to http site that contains word ‘jobs’ 5
times. Specify ‘jobs’ word in dialog box located next to “Don’t Allow access to site containing
word” and select number of occurrence as “occurring 5 times”. Then Click Add Filter and it will
appear in table as shown as a word ‘stock’ as Content Filter and 2 as occurrence in Screenshot –
5.1.
Note: Ideally, content filter should be applied to those users, which are given full Internet
privilege.
Caution: Clients can experience high latency in page load if content filter is used
extensively.

Managing Trusted Sites
 Trusted websites are the sites, whose access is to be provided to all users of
an organization.
 Trusted sites database can be managed by Trusted Sites tab of BLACKbox
Prime Server Internet Server.
A trusted site is a website that you trust neither to damage your computer, nor the misuse of
internet access resources.
On BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server, web sites which are added as trusted sites are
accessed by all users irrespective of the web filter assigned to them. Thus organization can
identify the websites whose access are to be given to all users across the organization and inform

Managing Port Binding
 An administrator may need to set up port forwarding to allow the port

numbers of specific applications to pass through a firewall.
 BLACKbox Prime Server provides Port Binding feature to allow different
applications on the same computer to share network resources
simultaneously.
Port Binding: Applications that use TCP/IP, such as the web protocol HTTP, have ports with
pre-assigned numbers. Other application processes are given port numbers dynamically for each
connection. When a service (server program) initially is started, it is said to bind to its designated
port number. As any client program wants to use that server, it also must request to bind to the
designated port number. Thus in TCP/IP networks, ports are an endpoint to a logical connection.
The port number identifies what type of port it is. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP traffic.
First let us understand about the port number. In computer networking, a port number is part of
the addressing information used to identify the senders and receivers of messages. Port numbers
are most commonly used with TCP/IP connections. Home network routers and computer
software work with ports and sometimes allow you to configure port number settings. These port
numbers allow different applications on the same computer to share network resources
simultaneously.
How Port Numbers Work
Port numbers are associated with network addresses. For example, in TCP/IP networking, both
TCP and UDP utilize their own set of ports that work together with IP addresses.
Port numbers work like telephone extensions. Just as a business telephone switchboard can use a
main phone number and assign each employee an extension number (like x100, x101, etc.), so a
computer has a main address and a set of port numbers to handle incoming and outgoing
connections.
In both TCP and UDP, port numbers start at 0 and go up to 65535. Numbers in the lower ranges
are dedicated to common Internet protocols (like 21 for FTP, 80 for HTTP, etc.)
To have a look at common TCP/IP port numbers please refer to the following link:
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Download_Area/ATW_Library/Networking/Network__2-
List_of_Common_TCPIP_port_numbers.pdf.
When You May Need to Take Action with Port Numbers
１０８
Port numbers are typically processed by network hardware and software automatically. Normally
you will not see them while casually using a network nor need to take any action involving them.
However, in these special cases you can work with network port numbers:
 Network administrators may need to set up port forwarding to allow the port numbers of
specific applications to pass through a firewall. On home networks, broadband routers
support port forwarding on their configuration screens.
 Network programmers sometimes need to specify port numbers in their code, such as in
socket programming.
 Sometimes, a Web site URL will require a specific TCP port number be included. For
example, http://localhost:8080/ uses TCP port 8080. Again, this is more usually seen in
software development environments than on the Internet.
BLACKbox Prime Server provides port number binding facility to allow port number of specific
applications to pass through a firewall.
7.1 Port Binding
BLACKbox Prime Server control centre. Click on Port Binding tab. (Screenshot – 7.2)
To bind ports, following things are required:
１０９
Local Port: Port on which Internet server will listen for request.
Server Host and Server Port: Request received from local port will bind to this server host and
server port.
This is precisely used to allow certain port communication behind firewall. For example, you
want to configure outlook settings for POP download and SMTP server. If web host mail server
is mail.synersoft.in, following will be the port binding for POP account:
Screenshot – 7.2 Internet Server Console (Port Binding Tab)
 Local port: 110

 Server Host : mail.synersoft.in
 Server Port: 110.
Click on Bind button.
Port can be unbound by selecting local port and clicking UnBind button.
Note: In client outlook, you have to write IP address of BLACKbox firewall server instead of
using mail.synersoft.in.
１１０
Managing Log Details
 Centralized monitoring of internet usage.

 Log details can be exported to Excel file
Internet Access Log Details: A listing of events related to internet access is called internet
access log. BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server stores, maintains and retrieves log of
internet access details. The following operations can be performed using Log feature:
 Monitoring internet activities of particular user for a specific date and time and for range
of dates.
 Domain wise details for each user can be retrieved.
 The retrieved information can be exported to excel file.
BLACKbox Prime Server has a log feature for monitoring the efficiency of the internet
bandwidth usage by the users of the organization. With Log feature an administrator can easily
find out which users load up the bandwidth most heavily, when and what exactly they download,
how much time they spend online, and what data transfer traffic they create.
Benefits of Internet Usage Log:

 Allows centralized monitoring of users’ internet access across the organization.
 Prevents personal usage of corporate bandwidth.
 Reduces organization’s internet expenses.
 Extremely easy-to-use; can start monitoring users in a just a few minutes once the

Managing Proxy Setting
 BLACKbox Prime Server provides various proxy settings viz. Proxy Listen
Port, FTP Listen Port, Proxy Root Directory, Proxy Log Directory, Content
Root Directory, IP/MAC/USER Authentication, Web Filter, Proxy Chaining
etc.
Proxy Settings: Following things can be configured in Proxy Settings:
 Proxy Listen Port: Port at which Internet Server will listen for incoming http or https
request.
 FTP Listen Port: Port at which Internet Server will listen for ftp request (supported client
WS-FTP).
 Proxy Root Directory: Directory where user information will be stored.
 Proxy Log Directory: Directory where log information will be stored.
 Content Root Directory: Directory where content information will be stored.
 Authentication type: IP authentication, MAC authentication, IP+MAC authentication,
none (authentication not required).
 Web Filter: can be enabled or disabled.
 Local IP: can be specified.
 Keep Alive: Enabling this option keeps connection persistent between client browser and
proxy server.
 Proxy Chaining: It is used to connect with other Internet Server. (Not recommended).
 Remote Server: Specify other Internet server address. (Not recommended).
 Remote Port: Specify other Internet Server port. (Not recommended).
 Content Filter: Enabling this filter makes content filter settings active (if too many
content filters are specified it will affect performance of Internet Server)
 FTP Timeout in Seconds: Timeout in seconds after which FTP will wait idle. (Default
recommended).
What are proxy settings: A proxy server mediates connections between two or more computers,
acting to increase both security and privacy in the network. The proxy can either exist as a
dedicated server running special software or as just an application running on a generalized
machine. There are many ways to configure a proxy server, and an administrator can use them to
block content to a network, cache data to increase transfer speeds or to bypass filters.
Background: When a computer user uses a Web browser, he or she types in the uniform
resource locator (URL) of the website the user wants to visit. The URL contains the address of a
server and a file, possibly with a directory structure between the two. The Web browser contacts
the server and requests the file in the address. The server replies with the requested file and the
browser displays it. A certain amount of information about the requesting computer (the client)
１１３
gets sent with the request. This information is passed in HTTP headers. This is part of the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The HTTP headers establish parameters for the reply and
gives information about the computer's name and location. This is because the server has to
know where to send the reply. If the user does not want the server to learn the details of his
location, he has to channel his browser's communications through a proxy server. The details of
the proxy server are entered in the proxy server settings of the browser.
Purpose: The proxy server receives requests from the client together with the intended Web
server address and file name (the URL). It then contacts that server independent of the client. So,
the client does not contact the server, and the server cannot possibly learn any details of the
client computer. The proxy server gives its details, including its return address. Once the proxy
server receives the file from the server, it sends it back to the client as though the file originated
from the proxy server. The browser can only know which proxy server to contact by reference to
the proxy server settings in its configuration.
Network Options: The option screens of each Internet-accessing application vary slightly, but
there are common elements. The proxy server settings are classified under network options.
Some show several different proxy fields immediately, others will only have one line for proxy
settings, but make others available in advanced settings screens. The regular categories of proxy
settings available are for HTTP, which channels all access to Web pages; FTP, for file transfer;
SOCKS, for a specific type of proxy server; and HTTPS/Secure for encrypted communication.
The user can elect to use a different proxy for each type of traffic.
Setting the Proxy: For each proxy entry, the proxy server settings require two pieces of
information: the proxy server address and the port number to access on the proxy server. The
user can elect to use one proxy server for all traffic. Once these proxy server settings are set, the
named proxy will be used for all communication from that application. There are usually options
for naming exceptions. The browser will make direct contact to the sites in the exceptions list.
BLACKbox Prime Server Internet/Proxy Server has a feature to configure various things through
Proxy Setting Tab. We will study this feature in this chapter.

１１６
Managing Request for Temporary Access
 BLACKbox Prime Server provides feature of allowing user a temporary

access to restricted domains.
Manage Request: When temporary access of restricted websites is given to user, its request is
added in the Pending request List. The following operations can be performed on such pending
requests:
 The requests can be accepted for that user and same rule can be applied to other users and
groups also.
 The request can be rejected and same rule can be applied to other users and group also.
 A list of rejected requests is stored on internet server. There is a provision to accept the
rejected request for that user so as to enable him/her to give access to restricted site which
was already rejected earlier. The same rule can be applied to other users also.
BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server provides the feature of allowing temporary access to
the restricted domains.
We have already learned about the Web Filter feature in Chapter 4, in which we have described
Allow and Deny filter. In Deny web filter database, we can list the websites, whose access is
restricted to user(s) and/or group of users.
When a user tries to access the restricted website, a window shown in figure 10.l is displayed.
Figure 10.1
Refer to Figure 10.1. The displayed message is conveyed to the user. The user has to click on
Confirm button to access the restricted website. Once confirmed by user, the user’s request is
sent to BLACKbox Prime Server Internet Server administrator for the review. Using Manage
１１７
Request Tab an administrator may Accept of Reject the request. Thus an administrator can
provide temporary access of restricted website to user or group of users or he/she may reject the
request. There is also a provision of accepting rejected request of the users.
10.1 Managing Requests
BLACKbox Prime Server control centre. Click on Manage Request tab. (Screenshot – 10.2)
Screenshot – 10.2 Internet Server Console (Manage Request Tab)
１１８
When temporary access of any of the restricted domains is asked by the user, its request is added
in the Pending request List. To see Pending Request or Rejected Request of user, first select any
user from List then click on Search button.
To see Request from all users select All and then click on Search button.
To accept user request select request from list then click on Accept button. To reject user request
select request from list and then click on Reject button.
Rejected request will be displayed in Rejected Request list.
An administrator can also accept the Rejected Request if required.
To delete request permanently select the request and click on Delete button.
10.2 Applying Accept/Reject Rules to other Users and Groups
Accept Request:
When an administrator click on Accept button it will automatically grant access of restricted
domain to selected user but ask for another Proxy User and Proxy Group selection. If an
administrator wants to grant access of that domain to another Proxy User or Proxy Group then
he/she should select User or Group from the List and then click on OK button. Refer Screenshot
– 10.2.
Screenshot – 10.3 Applying Accept/Reject rule to other users and groups
１１９
Reject Request:
When an administrator clicks on Reject button it will automatically reject request of selected user
but ask for another Proxy User and Proxy Group selection. If an administrator wants to reject the
request of another Proxy User or Proxy Group for the same domain then he/she should select
User or Group from the List and then click on OK button. Refer Screenshot – 10.2.
Thus an administrator can Accept/Reject request of user and apply the same rule to other users
and groups at one go and save crucial time of managing requests of bulk of users and groups to
have an access of same website.
10.3 Accept Rejected Requests and Apply rule to other Users/Groups
If request by user for granting restricted domains is rejected by administrator, it will be displayed
in Rejected Request list. To accept that request, select request from rejected request list, then
click on Accept Rejected button.
It will automatically grant access of restricted domain to selected user but ask for another Proxy
User. Refer Screenshot – 10.4.
If an administrator wants to grant access of that domain to another Proxy User then select User
from the List and then click on OK button. Refer Screenshot – 10.3.
Screenshot – 10.4 Accept Rejected Requests and Apply rule to other Users/Groups
Thus an administrator can Accept Rejected request of user and apply the same rule to other users
and groups at one go and save crucial time of managing requests of bulk of users and groups to
have an access of same website, which was earlier rejected.

S. Configuration of Dual Profiling
BLACKbox Software for Information Security on Laptops :
The BLACKbox Duo technology can divide an employee’s personal laptop or desktop into
two parts, which are useful as below.
1. Enterprise Zone
Inside the enterprise session, employees can
connect to the VPN to utilize a company’s data.
While the employees are accessing enterprise data,
all Data Leakage Prevention policies over USB, Email,
and Internet are in force. MSMEs can safely extend
access to its enterprise data without worrying about
its leakage or theft.
Snap1 : it shows the professional user details.
2. Personal Zone
Inside the personal session, employees can use their
personal data like entertainment, photos, personal
documents, games, applications, for whatever
purpose they are using that laptop or desktop. The
only thing they cannot access is your enterprise data,
emails, and enterprise applications. Also, enterprise
Data Leakage Prevention policies on USB, Email, and
Internet are not in force while they are inside the
personal sessions.
Snap2 : it shows the personal user details.
BLACKbox Software for Information Security on Laptops is designed for the enterprises who have
laptop users carrying handling company’s digital assets on their laptop devices.
１４１
Such enterprises need to regularly backup the data lying on laptops.
Such enterprises need to secure data on laptops to avoid any competitive exploitation.
Overview:
BLACKbox Software for information security on laptops is developed on the assumption that Growing
enterprises have growing users who use portable devices like laptops. Such laptops carry the company’s
digital assets. Important data on these laptops is not regularly backed up. Also, enterprises need to prevent
data theft from these laptops by USB, email or Internet.
In nutshell, BLACKbox software for Information Security on a laptop is designed to preserve and secure
digital asset on laptops.
Features of BLACKbox Software for Laptop Backup and Information Security on Laptops Professional
and Personal Drive for Selective Data Backup on Laptops.
BLACKbox technology divides each laptop in professional and personal drives. Enterprise data always
remains on a professional drive. Neither can user work on enterprise data from personal drive nor can he
transfer enterprise data to the personal drive.
Information Security Policies on Professional Drive of Laptop
Policies apply when the user works on a professional drive containing enterprise data to ensure
information security on email, USB and internet.
Email Vigilance on Professional Drive:
While user is working on professional drive, BLACKbox software loaded on laptop vigilance controls on
email client used by laptop user in professional drive. You can define email user's policy on where he/she
can or cannot send an email, what he/she can or cannot send emails to suit your information security
requirements. Also, BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) is an easy way to leak data from enterprise. In
professional drive mode, BLACKbox software intercepts BCC from email client, allows or disallows as
per policy and submits report to designated users with content of email and recipients in BCC.
Innovative USB drive policies with report generation in Professional Drive Mode.
BLACKbox software loaded on your laptops, makes all USB port, “smart”. Enterprise can define policy
on USB usage for keyboard, mouse, printer and deny usage of USB by pen drives, hard drives, mobile
phones on USB. It can also define policy that data can be brought in the laptop over USB, but cannot be
taken out on USB. It can also define policy where entrusted users can take data out on USB, but report is
generated and sent to designated users for evidence purpose.
１４２
Online Backup of Laptops on Data Center with Versioning for Professional Drive BLACKbox software
connects to BLACKbox data center and takes backup of professional drive regularly with versioning. In
case laptop is stolen, crashed, infected, enterprise can recover data from data center. In case laptop is
infected by ransomware, enterprise gets previous versions of data to minimize down time.
BLACKbox duo, BLACKbox duo Lite and BLACKbox DCDR can be used for Data Loss and Theft
Prevention on laptops as well as provide disaster response facilities. There are many SMEs who have
large files generated by technical software they use. Such large files require extraordinary resources that
can be available in the form of BLACKbox Turbo, or BLACKbox Twin Turbo which are our
technological application SSD caching through BLACKbox SSD Cache.
Unlike the backup scenario in Desktop and Server environment, backup scenario of laptops pose
multiple challenges.
Challenge 1: Segregation of Backup Eligible Enterprise Data
Laptop encloses voluminous personal data in terms of entertainment, photos along with enterprise data.
As personal and entertainment data is major part of total data on a user's laptop, any provision to back up
user's laptop will exhaust tremendous space on backup carrying device. It is necessary to segregate
between personal data (not to be backed up on enterprise backup devices) and enterprise data (backup
eligible data to be backed up on enterprise backup devices)
Challenge 2: Mix-up of personal and enterprise data flooding Enterprise Backup Devices
By mapping backup eligible folders (carrying enterprise data) with enterprise backup devices and to un-
mapping backup ineligible folders (carrying large sized personal data), we may solve the problem of
excluding large personal data going to enterprise backup system. But it is a temporary solution. User may
start saving enterprise data in personal folder and personal data in enterprise folder. This is a real
challenge.
BLACKbox intelligently solves this challenge in a full proof manner. Its technology is known as a duo,
first separates laptop storage in personal and enterprise compartments. It separates these compartments in
enormously data-tight (like air-tight or water-tight) manner. Once implemented, enterprise data can’t be
accessed from the personal session and vice versa. Now, you can map only enterprise data with your
cloud or data center.
１４３
Duo technology will not allow user to mix-up personal and enterprise data. It will make sure that only
backup eligible enterprise data is backed up on your enterprise backup device or cloud backup or data
center.
Your BLACKbox and laptops can be linked with our Data Center to resolve Disaster, Laptop Loss, and
Hardware Failure. Our signature technology transmits data in compressed and encrypted form. It also
sends comprehensive backup status reports of all included assets. Restore is encryption-decryption key-
driven for making your data only accessible to the owner of the data only.
This is very effective if your enterprise allows BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) basis laptops from users.
In order to understand how BLACKbox prevents loss of data from laptops, let us first understand the
situations which can cause data loss or business discontinuity.
First situation is, Accidental or Intentional Deletion of data; A user can delete data accidentally or
intentionally from the laptop. It can be easily restored from our data center and you can configure it for
number of days you want to keep deleted data on data center.. We are 100% sure that 99% enterprises
can’t instantly recover data deleted from the laptop. Think about your enterprise, are you among those
99% vulnerable enterprises?
Second Situation is, Ransomware attack; Laptops are most vulnerable to ransomware attacks. Especially,
when they are on BYOD basis or otherwise. As ransomware breaks out, and your data on the laptops is
encrypted. We are 100% sure that 99% enterprises can’t recover data after ransomware strike and re-do
the work. Think about your enterprise, are you among those 99% vulnerable enterprises?
and Three,
Accident or Disaster or Hardware failure A disaster, or laptop theft, or hardware failure can lead to
data loss. We are 100% sure that 99% of enterprises do not have set process for laptops backups and
automated out of premise backup. Think about your enterprise, are you among those 99% vulnerable
enterprises?
１４４
BLACKbox product separates enterprise data and personal data to implement data leakage and theft
prevention policies on USB, emails, and internet through laptops to enable security effectiveness.
Executive Summary:
BLACKbox technology on laptops is for 99% of enterprises who are always worried about data loss, theft,
and leakage from laptops. Most of these organizations do not have any provisions to prevent or stop these
data leakages effectively. Our technology separates enterprise data in data tight (like air-tight or water-
tight) manner, during the sessions of accessing enterprise data. Additionally, it implements all data
leakage and theft prevention policies on USB, emails, and the internet.
This scenario further makes sure that employee can use enterprise data and organization is not worried
about data loss, theft, or leakage. Not only this but also, all restrictions are automatically removed when
personal data is accessed or in use.
It works well even when enterprises allow devices on Bring your own Device (BYOD) or work from
home basis where employees are assured of free use of personal sessions without any monitoring and
restricted use of enterprise sessions under all tracks as well as organization policies.
Challenges Faced By The Enterprise Clients:
Bring your own Device (BYOD) and work from home are the in thing and maturing trends in the current
scenarios. Today, these enablement in organizations are highly cost-effective, convenient, and productive.
However, another side of the same coin is, Laptops, enterprise-owned, or BYOD basis, or work from
home sessions can be irreversible data leakage holes which can negatively affect these organizations.
The employees could use the client’s digital assets over email, could take it on a USB drive, or could
upload on cloud storage and could further use it for unethical practices. The critical concerns related to
these data leakage, data loss, and data thefts, can also affect the IT infrastructure as well as distress
organizations on competitive grounds.
How BLACKbox Assists Enterprise Clients:
BLACKbox separates enterprise data in data-tight ways, during the sessions of accessing enterprise data.
The technology further implements all data leakage and theft prevention policies on USB, emails, and
internet through laptops.
１４５
This scenario makes sure that employee can use enterprise data and organization is not worried about data
loss, theft, or leakage. Not only this but also, all restrictions are automatically separated when the staff
uses personal data.
BLACKbox works and is immensely useful when enterprise allows devices on BYOD foundations where
employees are assured of free use of individual sessions without any monitoring and restricted use of
enterprise based session courses. Also, this works very well under all tracking, monitoring a well as
comprehensively facilitated organization policies.
BLACKbox product even minimizes the client’s infrastructure investments and offers superior technical
performance with high levels of data security effectiveness.
Solution Results:
BLACKbox technology continues to assist the enterprise clients with Data Leakage Prevention through

Glossary – BLACK Box Prime Server
Application: Complete, self-contained computer program (usually commercially produced,

shrink-wrapped software) that performs a specific useful task, other than system maintenance
functions (which are performed by utility programs). Called 'Apps' for short, application
programs are the most familiar forms of software and come in a very wide variety of types (such
as accounting programs, database programs, graphics and illustration programs, word processing
programs). Also called application software.
Authentication: Verification of the identity of a user through a code such as a password.
Backup: Protection of important data by making one or more duplicate (redundant) copies of the
original at frequent intervals. These copies are stored at different (preferably off-site) locations
(either on other computers via internet or on storage media such as disk, tape, CDs) to minimize
the chance of loss by accident, mistake, or sabotage.
BCC: Abbreviation of Blind Carbon Copy. BCC is a copy of a mail to another person in addition
to the addressee, without showing on the original letter that a copy was sent to someone else.
Client: Hardware device (such as a personal computer) or a software application (such as a

word-processor) that requests and makes use of services (such as file-transfer and storage)
provided by another computer called the server. Normally, a user interacts (interfaces) only with
a client whereas the server might be out of sight. A user logged on to a website is using a client
computer (with the browser as the client software) that is connected via internet to a server
(website's computer).
Domain Name Service: Distributed database that translates domain names such as 'yahoo.com'
(which is easier to remember) into its unique four-part Internet Protocol (IP) address
(204.71.200.74).
１４７
Enterprise: Entire business group or corporation comprising of all local and international main
and sub offices, divisions, subsidiaries, and departments.
FTP: Abbreviation of File Transfer Protocol. Method of transferring data files from one
computer to another over a network. The most basic way of sending and receiving files over
internet, FTP divides files into several segments and assigns a reference number to each one.
These segments are transmitted in a sequence which the receiving computer reassembles as an
exact copy of the original. FTP also performs automatic error detection and correction in file
transfers. There are hundreds of thousands of FTP files over the internet that can be freely
downloaded. See also anonymous FTP and FTP site.
Gateway: Hardware/software device (such as a router) that connects and transfers data between
two networks employing different communications protocols.
GUI: Abbreviation of Graphical User Interface. Software that works at the point of contact
(interface) between a computer and its user, and which employs graphic elements (dialog boxes,
icons, menus, scroll bars) instead of text characters to let the user give commands to the
computer or to manipulate what is on the screen. GUI elements are usually accessed through a
pointing device such as a mouse, pen, or stylus. All programs running under a GUI use a
consistent set of graphical elements so that once the user learns a particular interface, he or she
can use all programs without learning additional or new commands. Pioneered by Xerox and
developed by Apple computers, GUI is now employed by all modern operating systems and
application programs.
HTML: Abbreviation of Hypertext Markup Language. Standard text based computer language
for creating electronic (hypertext) documents for the web or offline uses. Being a 'markup'
language, the value of HTML lays not so much in designing a visual structure (fonts, line
spacing, layout, etc.) of an electronic document but in formulating its logical structure. The
logical structure permits 'intelligent' information processing that is a prerequisite for the
information's organization, indexation, communication, and discovery on the web. HTML
supports inclusion of audio, video, and animation into an electronic document through helper
software such as ActiveX, Java applets, Quick-Time. See also Extensible Markup Language.
１４８
HTTP: Abbreviation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol - standard procedures which all computers
(whether clients or servers) connected to the web employ to communicate with each other over
the internet. HTTP consists of a set of rules for speedy retrieval and transmission of electronic
documents written in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).
IMAP: Abbreviation of Internet Message Access Protocol. A protocol that allows a user to
perform certain electronic mail functions on a remote server rather than on a local computer.
Through IMAP the user can create, delete, or rename mailboxes; get new messages; delete
messages; and perform search functions on mail. A separate protocol is required for sending mail.
Also called Internet Mail Access Protocol.
Internet Service Provider: Large-scale provider of internet connections, ISPs usually are the
telephone companies who lease bulk Internet connections to internet access providers and
information utilities, who in turn rent them to individual customers.
Internet: Called the 'information superhighway' and the 'network of networks,' it is basically a
means of connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in the world.
Intranet: Internal or private network of an organization based on internet technology (such as

hypertext and TCP/IP protocols) and accessed over the internet. An intranet is meant for the
exclusive use of the organization and its associates (customers, employees, members, suppliers,
etc.) and is protected from unauthorized access with security systems such as firewalls. Intranets
provide services such as email, data storage, and search and retrieval functions, and are
employed in disseminating policy manuals and internal directories for the employees, price and
product information for the customers, and requirements and specifications for the suppliers.
Some intranets are confined to a building whereas others span continents.
IP Address: Unique 32-bit long code number which each computer acquires automatically
through its internet access provider (IAP) for connecting to the internet. This address is in
'a.b.c.d' format where each letter (separated by a period) is a number with value from 0 to 255.
However, every computer connected to the internet also has a domain name (consisting of a
maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters) which is easier to remember than its associated IP
address. Specialized computers (called 'domain name servers' translate the domain names into
１４９
their corresponding IP addresses so that the recipient (target) computers can be located and the
data is correctly routed. Also called web address.
Local Area Network: User owned and operated short-distance cable and/or wireless-based data
communication system that interconnects one or more servers with several client computers and
peripheral devices (modems, printers, scanners, etc.) scattered across a room, building, or a
cluster of buildings. Two major LAN standards are Ethernet and Token Ring.
MAC Address: MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network
interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other
firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the
manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address.
It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical
address.
Mail/Email: Almost instantaneous transfer of text, voice, and/or video messages from one
computer or device to another, typically (but not necessarily) over the internet.
Malware: Software code (such as a virus) designed to surreptitiously invade a computer system
and perform some unauthorized or destructive action.
Network-attached storage (NAS): is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer

network providing data access to heterogeneous clients. NAS not only operates as a file server,
but is specialized for this task either by its hardware, software, or configuration of those elements.
NAS is often made as a computer appliance – a specialized computer built from the ground up
for storing and serving files – rather than simply a general purpose computer being used for the
role.
OEM: It is an acronym of Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Organization: A social unit of people systematically structured and managed to meet a need or
to pursue collective goals on a continuing basis. All organizations have a management structure
１５０
that determines relationships between functions and positions, and subdivides and delegates roles,
responsibilities, and authority to carry out defined tasks. Organizations are open systems in that
they affect and are affected by the environment beyond their boundaries.
POP: Abbreviation is Post Office Protocol. A protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server.
Port Number: Each TCP/IP application program has unique port numbers associated with it.
The port number identifies the logical communications channel that is to be used by this
application. Some protocols, use a well known port (for example, HTTP uses port 80) though
this too can be configurable. Port numbers are always used in conjunction with IP addresses
when establishing connections to host computers. The host computer may be running both an
HTTP server and an FTP server. If you're connecting to the host computer using a web browser,
you'll want to connect to the HTTP server and not the FTP server. Since HTTP servers usually
listen on port number 80, and FTP servers usually listen on port number 21, the web browser will
connect to the correct server on the www.mysite.com computer if it connects to port 80.
Protocol: Set of agreed upon, and openly published and distributed, standards that enables
different firms to manufacture compatible devices to the same specifications. All devices made
under the same protocol work with one another without any adjustment or modification.
Return On Investment: Earning power of assets measured as the ratio of the net income (profit
less depreciation) to the average capital employed (or equity capital) in a firm or project.
Expressed usually as a percentage, it is a measure of the profitability which (while not taking the
time value of money into account) indicates whether or not a firm is using its resources in an
efficient manner. For example, if the ROI of a firm (in the long run) is lower than its cost-of-
capital then the firm will be better off by liquidating its assets and depositing the proceeds in a
bank. ROI is also called rate of return, or yield.
SMTP: Abbreviation is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A protocol for sending e-mail messages
between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send
messages from one server to another
１５１
Spam: Mass mailing over the internet by sending promotional messages to practically everyone
whose email address is known, without asking for anyone's permission.
TCP/IP: Abbreviation is Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Standard networking

rules that every computer connected to internet must follow to send and receive any type of data.
Developed in 1970s by the US Department Of Defense for Unix-based computers, TCP/IP is
now employed by all types of computer platforms, intranets, extranets, etc. It is a set of two
protocols and is described as a two-layered program in which: (1) TCP is the higher layer which
(on the transmitting, uploading, or host computer) breaks a data stream into sequentially
numbered data packets and (on the receiving, downloading, or client computer) reassembles the
data packets back into the original stream. It rectifies the errors that may occur and concerned
mainly with how data is sent or received. (2) IP is the lower layer which assigns the address of
the receiving computer to each data packet sent so that, irrespective of the route or circuit
followed by each individual packet, all arrive at the intended destination. It is concerned mainly
with where to data is sent.
SQL Server 2005 Express:
SQL Server Express is a powerful and reliable data management product that delivers rich
features, data protection, and performance for embedded application clients, light Web
applications, and local data stores.
SQL Management Studio Express:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) is an easy-to-use graphical

management tool for managing SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express
Edition with Advanced Services.
Thread: By default, a process has one thread, the main thread. If a process has multiple threads,
the main thread is the first thread in the process. A user process can use the POSIX thread API to
create other user threads.
UDP: Abbreviation is User Datagram Protocol. The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the
core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols used for the Internet.
With UDP, computer applications can send messages, in this case referred to as data grams, to
other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set
up special transmission channels or data paths.
Unique Selling Proposition: Real or perceived benefit of a good or service that differentiates it
from the competing brands and gives its buyer a logical reason to prefer it over other brands.
１５２
USP is often a critical component of a promotional theme around which an advertising campaign
is built.
URL: Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents and other
resources on the World Wide Web.
User: Entity that has authority to use an application, equipment, facility, process, or system, or
one who consumes or employs a good or service to obtain a benefit or to solve a problem, and
who may or may not be the actual purchaser of the item.
Virus: Often referred to as computer virus. Small but insidious piece of programming-code that
attacks computer and network systems through 'contaminated' (infected) data files, introduced
into a system via disks or internet. As a digital equivalent of biological microorganisms, it
attaches itself to the target computer's operating system or other programs, and automatically
replicates itself to spread to other computers or networks. Invented in 1960s as a prank, viruses
come in thousands of types and versions with new ones being invented every day, each requiring
a different cure (see antivirus and vaccine). While a few viruses are harmless diversions, most
are malicious and cause widespread and severe damage and may bring down entire
communication-networks or websites. Some are immediately active, others remain latent for
weeks or months, or work slowly to avoid detection and cause destruction over long periods.
Propagation of computer viruses is a serious crime in many countries. See also Trojan horse, and
worm.
Webpage: Electronic (digital) document created with HTML and, therefore, accessible with a
browser. In addition to text and graphics, WebPages may also contain downloadable data files,
audio and video files, and hyperlinks to other pages or sites. A website is usually a collection of
WebPages.
Wide Area Network: Data and voice communication network that extends beyond the
geographical limitations of a local area network (LAN). In a typical configuration, a WAN
consists of several LANs at dispersed locations interconnected via gateways over leased or
dedicated telephone and/or wireless links. Airline- and hotel reservation services comprise of
WANs, and the internet is the worlds largest WAN. Intranets, extranets, and virtual private
networks are all WANs simulated over internet connections.
１５３
Wizard: A utility within an application that helps you use the application to perform a particular
task. For example, a "letter wizard" within a word processing application would lead you through
the steps of producing different types of correspondence.
World Wide Web (WWW): Collection of internet resources (such as FTP, telnet, Usenet),
hyperlinked text, audio, and video files, and remote sites that can be accessed and searched by
browsers based on standards such as HTTP and TCP/IP. Also called the web, it was created in
1989 by the UK physicist Tim Berners-Lee while working at the European Particle Physics
Laboratory (called CERN after its French initials Conseil Europeen de Reserches Nucleaires) in
Switzerland, as an easier way to access information scattered across the internet.
