- D.O.D. Wipe
- DOD wiping is a standard that the Department of Defense created to
ensure data on their hard drives was unrecoverable. The process
involves storing random data over top of the contents of the entire
hard drive. The more this is done, the less recoverable the sensitive
information is. DOD 5220.22-M (the US DoD security manual) requires
that the drive be overwritten three times, but more is better. - DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)

or small businesses) who simply want to use
their existing phone lines for Internet connectivity.

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
Networking of computer systems has become a must in today’s world. It is no
longer restricted to offices and corporations — people today have networks
even in their houses and apartments.
Data transfers have grown as new technology emerges, and soon, as the
Internet gets faster, video conferencing over the internet will be flawless.
The size and speed of the Internet has grown exponentially over the past few
years, and the demand for high-speed residential access is growing with it.
Networking Defined:
Networking is the act of connecting 2 or more computers together. This is
generally done using a cable known as CAT5e (from the name of the standard
describing the cable’s properties).
Today, though, we are not limited to wired infrastructures — a network can
also incorporate wireless connections (commonly known as Wi-Fi) for easier
use with mobile technology. Computer networking in its simple form is no
different than people networking with others. Both are used to share
ideas and information, collaborate, and pass along some form of data.
Whether you have 5 computers or 200, you will need to network them in order
to get anything done. The reason is simple – you need to share data,
resources, and internet – among many other tools.
