What is web site monitoring all about? Here is Carl's story:
<p>
Carl returned to the office after a tough day of negotiations. He still was not sure if the crucial deal was on or off, but dinner would soon be waiting and he had just enough time left to check his emails and his phone messages.
<p>
He had twelve phone messages, every one of them urgent. Too late to call back right away; that would have to wait for morning.
<p>
His inbox held that familiar email report from his web site monitoring service. He smiled. As usual, there were no error alerts. That's what he liked to see -- his web site still performing well.
<p>
He looked carefully at the report. All the forms were functioning. The shopping cart, too. Password protection was functioning. At least he did not have to worry about his web site this evening.
<p>
There were still some download speed issues reported by the new Hong Kong Monitoring Station. He made a mental note to raise the issue with his web host contact in the morning.
<p>
Just as he was putting on his jacket to leave, his cell phone rang.
<p>
A few minutes later, he called his wife. "Hi Ruby. How's dinner doing?"
<p>
"Great, Carl. You'll be home soon?"
<p>
"I was just about to leave when my cell phone rang. It was our web site monitoring company calling. It seems the web site went down. They were reporting from London."
<p>
"You mean your European customers can't access the site?" Ruby asked.
<p>
"That's what I thought at first. When the Hong Kong monitoring station reported an alert, I assumed the transatlantic connection was blocked. But when the Florida monitoring station reported in, I had to check the site. And guess what?"
<p>
"I guess that you won't be home for dinner."
<p>
"Sorry. I have to get on the line with the web host and straighten this all out."
<p>
"Hey, that's OK. I'm just happy you get instant those alerts. I would hate to see you get that call during our dinner and have to go all the way back into the office. Let me know when you're coming home."
<p>
"OK. I'll let you know as soon as I do. Bye."
<p>
Carl checked the more detailed report online. <a href=http://www.dotcom-monitor.com/AccessibilityCheck.asp>Here is an example.</a>
<p>
As Carl dialed his ISP, he realized it would likely be a long evening. But not as long as if he received less frequent reports. And not as long as the next day would be if the web site had been offline for the next.
<p>
And that's what web site monitoring is all about.

What You Have Been Dying To Know About Fraud
Since the inception of the information technology and the technological advancement of the marketing industry, many people are engaging into fraudulent activities. This is because they are able to gain financial gains and advantages to people through easier and faster means.
For this reason, authorities had been trying to suppress the growing trend of various frauds that are currently affecting thousands, if not millions of people.
Basically, fraud is a kind of trickery that is used for the individual’s benefits, mostly on the financial aspect. These kinds of frauds are absolutely punishable by law, though, its implementation and intensity may vary from one place to another.
In Criminal Law
In the context of criminal law, a fraud is absolutely punishable under certain circumstances that will constitute the deception of a certain individual from which personal gain of the fraudulent person is achieved.
Some of the common frauds that are abhorred by the law are:
1. False advertising
This refers to the achievement of some personal gains of the person concerned by give the wrong impression about a particular service, product, or a business. This can be executed by providing deceptive information projected in unreliable forms of advertisements.
2. Identity theft
In the credit card industry, identity theft is the common type of fraud. This is when the identity of the credit card user is stolen for the personal benefit of the person who wants to gain some financial access to the user’s finances.
There are instances that the criminal may use the identity of the credit card user to make some purchases, in which, the victim’s credit card is used. In turn, the victim will receive billing statements containing such purchases that he or she did not personally created.
There are also some cases wherein the identity of the victim is used to create some crimes, in which, after establishing such acts, they contact the person and blackmail him by asking some money in exchange of eliminating any criminal acts that were constituted through his name.
3. Forgery
This is also one type of frauds where the documents are obtained and processed with the purpose of using them to deceive other people or institution.
In this process, the person who ant to deceive other people will obtain documents that are fake, reproduced, replicas, or explicit reproductions of the original material. There are also some documents that may be originally done but the signatures that should have signified the authenticity of the document is forged.
The very concept of this kind of fraud is to modify an object to suit the personal gains of the offender.
4. False billing
This refers to the fraudulent undertaking of charging or creating billing statements to a particular person or an institution. Here, the criminals will extract money from these people, in which, the concerned person will think that it is part of his or her subscription on a certain company.
In this way, people may be deceived that they have been issued some renewal of their subscriptions, for example, but in reality, the true owner of such establishment that issues subscriptions are not aware of it.
5. Insurance claims
These refers to the act of deceiving the insurance provider under the guise of claiming the due claims and benefits.
For instance, there are some people who create “fake deaths” in order to claim the insurance benefits provided by the individual’s insurance provider.
These are just some of the many examples of frauds. All of which are punishable under the law.
Hence, if you think that you have been victimized based on the examples given, it is best to take some actions properly, otherwise, you will be left hanging on the brink of disaster.

What Are Intrusion Detection Systems?
With computer hackers and identity thieves getting more computer literate, the security your computer needs to keep them out has to always stay at least one step in front. There is a different type of computer safety tool that detects an attack or system intrusion before it has the chance to harm your computer. It is called an IDS or Intrusion Detection System and is another form of application layer firewall. Intrusion detection systems are programmed to detect attempted malicious attacks or intrusions by computer hackers trying to get into your system by detecting inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous activity. There does seem to be some question of how well this system works when many personal computer users are going to wireless online connections. Some will argue that with the adoption of intrusion prevention technologies has created a unique challenge for security professionals. In order to make this type of system effective, such monitoring of these devices requires extensive security expertise and time. If devices are incorrectly tuned and not regularly updated, attacks of malicious traffic and intrusions may be permitted. In order to prevent downtime, security professionals also must continually check on these devices in order to keep the system running smoothly.
There are three different types of intrusion detection systems.
A host-based Intrusion Detection Systems consists of an agent on a host that can identify intrusions by analyzing system calls, application logs, and host activities. Network Intrusion Detection System is an independent platform that identifies intrusions by examining network traffic and monitors multiple hosts. These gain access to network traffic by connecting to a hub, network switch configured for port mirroring, or network tap.
Hybrid Intrusion Detection Systems combine both approaches and the host agent data is combined with network information to form a complete view of the network.
A Signature-Based Intrusion Detection System can identify intrusions by watching for patterns of traffic or application data presumed to be malicious. These systems are able to detect only known attacks, but depending on their rule set, signature based IDS's can sometimes detect new attacks which share characteristics with old attacks.
Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection Systems identify intrusions by notifying operators of traffic or application content presumed to be different from normal activity on the network or host. Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection Systems typically achieve this with self-learning.
A Signature-Based Intrusion Detection System identifies intrusions by watching for patterns of traffic or application data presumed to be malicious. These type of systems are presumed to be able to detect only 'known' attacks. However, depending on their rule set, signature-based IDSs can sometimes detect new attacks which share characteristics with old attacks, e.g., accessing 'cmd.exe' via a HTTP GET request.
An Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection System identifies intrusions by notifying operators of traffic or application content presumed to be different from 'normal' activity on the network or host. Anomaly-based IDSs typically achieve this with self-learning.
Features and Benefits The Managed Intrusion Prevention Service includes:
Configure and provision device
Create initial policy; update and tune policy on an ongoing basis
Monitor and report on health and security events 24x7
Industry leading Service Level Agreement
Report all security events on the Client Resource Portal
Flexible reporting options on Client Resource Portal
Notify customers of major security and health issues
Upgrade and patch devices
Seamless integration with VeriSign's Incident Response and Computer Forensics team
Whether used for detection or prevention, Intrusion SecureNet technology is peerless in accurately detecting attacks and proactively reporting indicators of future information loss or service interruption. Using pattern matching for performance and protocol decoding to detect intentional evasion and polymorphic or patternless attacks, as well as protocol and network anomalies before a new attack has a signature created, the SecureNet System is ideal for protecting critical networks and valuable information assets.

Web Site and Network Stress Monitoring
In today’s world, organizations are fast accepting the web and related applications as part of their overall business strategies. They understand that the Internet provides them with the potential to target a very focused set of customers spread across a very diverse geography.
<p>
For a successful Internet presence, it is important that the web server and web applications are reliable, scalable and always available, irrespective of traffic volumes to the site.
<p>
To achieve this, you must test all your hardware and software using tools to check your web site, usually called web stress tools. These tools should ideally be used even before the site is on the World Wide Web. They can provide a reasonably good estimate about the performance of your web site and a company can identify issues before they arise.
<p>
Such issues might include slow response times while opening the web site, a limited number of users able to simultaneously browse the web site, or a cap on the number of requests that can be handled by a processing application. Based on the results, a webmaster can identify the bottlenecks and take corrective actions before they result in lost sales.
<p>
<b>What does web site stress testing do?</b>
<p>
Web stress testing provides performance reports for varying elements. For example, users might be complaining that your shopping site is taking ages to load and most search results are showing errors message. Using a web stress tool, you can check the performance of your web server. To your surprise, the CPU utilization on the Server may be just 20%. But if you are also monitoring the database application, you might find that it is already running at 100% and is the most likely reason for poor performance.
<p>
Stress tools can be deployed as software solutions where you can monitor the key components of your servers such as the CPU, memory and hard disk utilizations. They are built with user-defined alerts that can be triggered if a particular parameter crosses a threshold set by the user. As an example, you can configure an alert that must be generated whenever the CPU utilization crosses the 80% mark. Although this is helpful in identifying system bottlenecks, the results are limited to web servers that are connected to your internal network.
<p>
<b>Why a stress monitoring network?</b>
<p>
If the target audience is across the globe, or even across the country, a company needs to monitor its web site and applications stress loads from different locations across the globe. The web server must provide reasonable performance from wherever customers are located. In such a situation the software solution is unlikely to meet the company's requirements.
<p>
Organizations must use external web site stress monitoring tools, which provide detailed performance reports on servers that are tested from different locations. The outcome of these tests can help in fine-tuning the settings at their ISPs and in optimizing performance of the servers. Besides this, external stress testing also include monitoring of other network infrastructures that connect to the web server, such as routers, firewalls and leased lines that provide the back-end connectivity.
<p>
This is why Dotcom-Monitor's <a href=http://www.dotcom-monitor.com/web-load-stress-test.asp>load stress test tool</a> offers its clients stress test agents located in various countries such as the USA, UK and Germany. This service provides performance data about the web site from these and other locations spread across the globe.
<p>
So if you run a business on the Internet, it is important that your web site and all associated web applications perform to their optimum levels. They handle transactions quickly and in turn offer faster response times to your user requests. Using web stress services you can get information you need to ensure superior throughputs and gain a reputation for high-performance dependability among your customers.

Web Detective
So, you want to find out information. Maybe about an employee, a friend, or you may be trying to find an old friend or loved one. Can you search the internet for this information. Or do you have to hire a private investigator, or how about you become your own Web Detective. Online detectives are becoming more and more a hobby than a career. You can find out much of this information yourself if you have the right tools and there are many many programs out there that can help you find the information you are searching for. So how do you become a detective? Which Net Detective program is the best out there? Do you pay a private investigator or become a web detective yourself?? Where do you start your search for the best programs out there.
First, you need to figure out the type of information you are search for. If you are looking for a type of background check in your internet investigation, then I would search for companies that specialize in background checks. Most of these companies will do background checks, public records which include birth records, death records, marriage records, divorce records, social security checks, adoption records and many other public records. You will also be able to retrieve property records as well. Some companies have a choice of what type of information you are looking for. For instance your web detective search only requires a location and phone number of a person, then some companies will charge you a nominal fee for a one time one person search only including the most recent address and phone number on record. If your net detective search requires a criminal background check or a more extensive people search, the fee goes up and it may only be a one person search or you may be able to buy an unlimited package.
These web detective sites are composed of a collection of links to resources that allow you to search many forms of demographic information. These detective sites have compiled all the links to save you a great amount of time, days or even week it would take one to find all the resources available. Although the resources are free to you, you are paying the net detective for the convenience of having all of them in one location.
The list of search types for the internet detective is usually quite extensive, but here are a few examples of what you can find.
1)Adoption Records
2) Aircraft Crash Database
3) Real Estate Brokers Directories
4) Census Data
5) County Ordinances And Codes
6) FCC Radio Licensee Search
7) Annual Corporate Reports
8) Court Records
9) Military Records
10) Criminal Records
11) Marriage Records
12) Copyright Information
13) Patent Information
I hope your searches are helpful for whatever your reasons may be as being a net detective can be fun and adventurous. So good luck and have a great time being a Web Detective.

Using Spy Listening Devices
There is no saying that goes, “What you do know can kill you.” There is, however, a proverb that says, “What you DON”T know can kill you.” When considering whether or not use spy listening devices, take the previous bit of advice to heart. Spy listening devices are excellent for surveillance, and there are so many different types of these items that you are sure to find something that works for your situation and that falls within your price range.
Spy listening devices, which are more commonly known as bugs, are used by many different people for a variety of people. The police, military, private investigators, and government agencies all make use of these listening devices. There are even corporations and some consumers (including amateur spies) who use devices to discover important information. You may not need a spy listening device to tell you classified secrets or find something of importance to national security, but you may hear a piece of information that impacts you more immediately in your life.
One of the best reasons to use spy listening devices is that when cameras may not be able to get in, a listening device often can. With the right kind of device, you can even record what you hear and play it back or use it as evidence. Many people make use of listening devices to record phone conversations with their exes or to listen in on behavior that may be construed as betrayal. This can give you an edge should legal proceedings be in order at some point.
Some of the more common spy listening devices that consumers make use of are things like lapel mics and pens. They are small and work well for up-close conversations. Additionally, they are innocuous and can be left in a room where, even after you leave, you can hear what is being said. Other common devices are listening devices that one can attach to a phone. You can record your own conversations to protect yourself, or you can record others’ conversations.
No matter how you go about it or what you do with them, using spy listening devices can provide valuable tools to help you stay “in the loop.” You can learn information that you need to know with the help of spy listening devices.

Using Bug Detectors to Guard Against Spying
If you need to secure your office, home or hotel room from wireless microphones and transmitters, there are bug detectors that can pinpoint the location of these concealed transmitters using an audio alarm or a LED display.
Did you know that bugging and eavesdropping is a common practice? And it is not just the police, FBI or CIA who are doing the bugging. When you use special bug detectors on your telephone lines, you can easily determine virtually any type of equipment that is being use to bug your telephone, whether your phone is off or on the hook.
There are such nifty, hidden bug detectors that they can even look like an innocuous smoke alarm, yet, should anyone enter your presence carrying a hidden radio transmitter, these pretend smoke alarms will alert you to their presence by flashing a red LED two times per second.
Other bug detectors come very compact, and can tell you if someone is carrying a hidden spy camera. It can also tell you if one is hidden on the premises. Such devices were formally only sold to the U.S. government, but now are available for public use and can guarantee you and others, who may have that concern, peace of mind.
Other bug detectors come with a 2.5 inch monitor display that not only finds multiple hidden cameras, but will show you exactly what is being displayed on them, and the time it takes to scan for these hidden cameras is only five seconds. These devices run on double A batteries, too.
