  • Howto Say the IPV6 Number

    If you didn’t know, IPv4, the current network layer protocol used on the Internet is due to be replace with a new networking protocol called IPv6. IPv4 is a 32-bit addressing scheme that allows 4,294,967,296 possible unique addresses. IPv6 is a 128-bit addressing scheme that allows much more.

     

    This is the number of possible IPv6 numbers that are possible:
    340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456

     

    And here is how to say the number.

     

    340- undecillion
    282- decillion
    366- nonillion
    920- octillion
    938- septillion
    463- sextillion
    463- quintillion
    374- quadrillion
    607- trillion
    431- billion
    768- million
    211- thousand
    456

    HOW BIG IS THAT REALLY??!

    2^128=340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 = 3.4×10^38
    – 50 octillion addresses for each of the 6.5 Billion people on earth
    – Every atom in the human body could have IPv6 address
    – Windshield wipers on your car may have and IPv6 address (every device can be “pingable”)

    Pros and Cons of IPv6:

    CON
    • Lack of migration plan
    • Definition of “compliance”? (dod)
    • Long address (2001:0000:1080:8c88:8:800:200C:417A)
    • Security issues

    • No tools to check IPv6 packets, so this exploit has no way to be stopped yet
    – Windows XP supports IPv6 but the SP2 firewall would not detect rogue data inside ICMPv6 packets

     

     

    PRO
    • ipv6 for everything
    • Japan already on top of it
    • Help countries like China and India

  • Delete Search Results: Cover your tracks

    Ever search for something questionable on someone else system and go into a hyperventilation panic when you notice that their computer is retaining the keywords you typed into their search engine?  

     

    You typed in “boobies” on your mom's computer and now the word pops up everytime you type a “B”!!

     

    Perhaps it was your spouses system and your were searching for evidence of pornography.

    Maybe it was your kids computer and you want to make sure they are o.k. mentally.

    Maybe your Internet connection has been down for a while and you’ve had to use your friends system or a public system.

    Whatever the case maybe it is none of my business.  And you don’t want it to be the business of the other who will use the system after you.

     

    Here are two simple techniques to get rid of those bad keywords.

     

    For Window XP “Recently Opened Documents”:

    To delete “my Recent Documents”

    Right – Click on the “Start” button

    Select “Properties”

    On the Start Menu Tab, Select “Customize”

    Select the “Advance Tab”

    Select the “Clear List” button at the bottom.  Don’t worry, it will NOT delete the files.  (Deselect the checkbox if you don’t want the system to track previously opened files)

     

     

    For Windows XP, Internet Explorer:

    In IE, Select “Tools”

    Go to “Internet Option” at the bottom of the Tools list

    Under Temporary Internet Files select “Delete Cookies” and “Delete Files”

    To delete the history of the websites you searched select “Clear History”

  • What are Social Bookmarks?

    What are Social Bookmarks?

    A social bookmark is a link created by a web user that is categorized and viewed by the public. If you have ever had bookmarks at work and moved to a new job and wanted access to your old links then you will immediately understand the signifigance of the social bookmarks. They offer a way in which users can access their bookmarks from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection and a way for users to have control over the classification of those bookmarks.

    Social bookmark buttons on a blog are especially powerful. These are buttons on a blog and/or website that allow readers to submit articles they like to Digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit and other socially moderated bookmarking/news/feed sites at the click of a button. Readers will also be able to add articles to feed readers such as Google Reader, My Yahoo! and Bloglines. This is a great way to advertise as each link from another site (known as a back link) will give more ranking on search engines. It also allows for something known as social marketing optization.
