Keynote: Emerging Era Of Cooperative Empowerment: Grid, Peer-To-Peer, And Community Computing, Dr. Javed I. Khan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

In this paper we discuss an emerging trend in high performance computing-the social or community computing. The emergence of screensaver computing, grid computing, peer-to-peer systems, and their demonstrated ability to garner computing power as potent as the supercomputers seems to be auspicious. In this paper we discuss the new phenomenon of community computing-including their potential applications in solving a new set of grand challenge problems. We also discuss the previously uncharted technological challenges architects of these new paradigms are addressing.


Identification Of Ip Information Of Pakistan & Vulnerability Assessment, Nizar Diamond Ali Aug 2005

Identification Of Ip Information Of Pakistan & Vulnerability Assessment, Nizar Diamond Ali

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Detailed IP information of Pakistan was not available prior to this study - at least not to the general public. It was not known how to harvest this information, from where and using which tools. This study came as answer to this challenge and shows how the IP information can be collected, what sources of information to use, methodologies to adopt and tools to utilize for this purpose. The next step was find out areas where network security lapses are present - i.e., to see which servers and which services are vulnerable to known attacks and vulnerabilities. In this way, …
