Delete Browsing History

-

Users have always had the ability to manage browsing information collected and stored on their machines. Internet Explorer 8 provides an enhanced interface to make it easier than ever to remove this information – while keeping related data that the user chooses to retain.

 
Managing Private Information

Privacy is a complex topic that more often than not puts one party in conflict with another. If security boils down to “the user is in control of what code runs on the machine,” then privacy boils down to “the user is in control of what information the browser makes available to Web sites." Some organizations write scripts to clean up cookies and browsing history at the end of a browsing session to help ensure user privacy.

This type of environment might be needed for very sensitive data (for example, defense, security, or law enforcement environments), for regulatory or compliance reasons, or for very private data in the healthcare industry. Internet Explorer 8 builds on previous Delete Browsing History functionality, providing the flexibility to delete information for certain sites while preserving it for other sites, such as frequently visited Web sites for which users wanted their personal preferences to be retained. This feature can be switched on and off in the Delete Browsing History dialog box and is called “Preserve Favorites website data”:


Managing User Settings

Administrators can configure Delete Browsing History options through Group Policy or the Internet Explorer Administration Kit. Administrators can also configure which sites are automatically included in favorites allowing them to create policies that ensure security by aggressively scrubbing Internet files, and without impacting day-to-day interactions with preferred and favorite Web sites. The “Delete Browser History on Exit” checkbox on the Tools / Internet Options / General tab allows IT professionals to automatically delete the browsing history on exit.

Pendistribusian akses jaringan menggunakan teknologi nirkabel/wireless saat ini semakin menjadi pilihan. Cakupan area, kemudahan serta sifat flexible pada wireless menjadi alasan admin jaringan menggunakan nya. Untuk area-area yang banyak dikunjungi orang seperti mal, cafe, atau kantor dimana pengunjung akan selau berganti dengan jumlah yang tidak tentu (dinamis), teknologi wireless sangat tepat digunakan. Dalam implementasi di lapangan, sebelum perangkat Wireless Mikrotik dapat memberikan akses ke client di bawah nya, maka perangkat tersebut harus dapat menerima akses dari provider terlebih dahulu. Konfigurasi Dasar Mikrotik Langkah pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah konfigurasi dasar Mikrotik agar dapat menerima akses dari provider. Ada banyak metode yang bisa diterapkan, disesuaikan dengan metode distribusi yang diterapkan oleh provider. Langkahnya dapat mengikuti video tutorial berikut. Distribusi Wireless Ada 2 metode yang bisa digunakan dalam melakukan distribusi wireless ke ar...

The 802.11 MAC

O ne of the most important aspects of the 802.11 standard is the rules laid down for Media Access Control (MAC). Regardless of the physical layer 802.11 is implemented on (2.4-GHz ISM band, 5-GHz UNII band, and so on), the MAC rules stay the same. Distributed Coordination Function The 802.11 standard specifies two modes in which MAC can operate: contention free and contention based. In contention-based MAC, stations basically fight for access to the media. Similar to Ethernet, when a station wants to transmit first, it checks to see if another station is using the wire. In an Ethernet network, a station waits until the media is not in use and then transmits the packet. If another station transmits at the same time, it will detect the collision and randomly back off. This makes Ethernet a carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD)–based algorithm.

Introduction to (the history of Wifi)

The 802.11 standard defines a link layer wireless protocol and is managed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Many people think of Wi-Fi when they hear 802.11, but they are not quite the same thing. In recent years, Wi-Fi and 802.11 have exploded in popularity, and every new laptop comes with a builtin Wi-Fi adapter. This popularity has led to a surge of research into the security of the 802.11 standard. The history about the first 802.11 standard was approved in 1997 and allowed transmission speeds that topped out at 2 Mbps. This version of the standard allowed two different methods for encoding information at a physical level, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). These two different encoding schemes are incompatible, however, and the choice led to a lot of confusion in the marketplace.
