What is social engireering

Social engineering is also called social hacking or social cracking. It is one of the ways that hacker and cracker use. The purpose is illegal access to the computers. There are many “social” ways to get important information that are related to the security such as passwords. Those people will not use technical ways to get this important information. For example, they search memo that has personal information in trash boxes, look password secretly when someone entering the password, pretend system manager and deceive user, and so on. In order to success to get information, it is said that hackers must forget themselves and it is important to believe they are not a hacker.
Not enough identification and loose guard to the secret information in the office will lead to the secret leaked out.

what do I know about Mac?

Actually, I know little about Mac. One thing that I knew about it before last class was ipod. Another thing that I remember about it is the difference of Windows and Mac in the point of the place of the some buttons. On Windows computers, close button is on the right side, on the other hand, on Mac computers, it is on the left side. I think that’s all what I know about Mac.

However, in the last class, I learned a little bit more about Mac. That are Mac is good for graphics or movie making, compare to Windows, Mac is more stylish and easy to use, safer with no viruses or other, better language support, and better customer support. So, now, I know Mac has many good points although less people use Mac!
