What is a Browser?

June 23rd, 2009 rsivanandan No comments

 

  I read this information from ghacks.net, seems that Google guys went to Time Square, NY and randomly asked 50 people on “What is a Browser”. See the video below;

 

 

Many said it is a ‘Search Engine’. Now in a developed country like US and that too at Time Square, people do daily business through Internet and seriously I got Goosebumps when I saw this. This is not funny, less than 8% of the people who got interviewed actually knew what a browser was. So definitely this is not funny, it is scary!!!

Couple of my favorites;

“The one with the BIG E”  —- At least he knows it is A browser

“Google, of course Google dominates the market but we do use Yahoo as well” —- WELL!!!

Comparison between Radius and Tacacs+

January 20th, 2008 rsivanandan No comments
Radius Tacacs+
RADIUS uses UDP. TACACS+ uses TCP.
RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request packet; less secure. TACACS+ encrypts the entire body of the packet; more secure.
RADIUS combines authentication and authorization. TACACS+ uses the AAA architecture, which separates authentication, authorization, and accounting.
Industry standard (created by Livingston). Cisco Proprietary.
RADIUS does not support ARA access, Net BIOS Frame Protocol Control protocol, NASI, and X.25 PAD connections. TACACS+ offers multiprotocol support.
RADIUS does not allow users to control which commands can be executed on a router. TACACS+ provides two ways to control the authorization of router commands: on a per-user or per-group basis.

Back to the Past!

Yeah!, I like it or not I’m back on a business trip to US again. This thing is like every year I pay a visit to USA. Well I like the technology there but personally I like being in my little country with all my family, neighbours and streets loaded with piles of ***. This time, a business trip to meet with Marketing guys and take some advise, in turn have ‘em buy some great ideas as I think!
