An email attachment is a file that is sent along with an email message. Attachments can include a variety of file types, such as documents, images, audio files, videos, spreadsheets, and presentations, among others.
A Directory Harvest Attack (DHA) is a method used by attackers to enumerate valid email addresses from a mail server. This type of attack exploits the way that mail servers process incoming email messages and can be particularly effective against systems that are not properly secured. ### How a Directory Harvest Attack Works: 1. **Targeting a Mail Server**: The attacker chooses a mail server belonging to a particular domain.
The ePrivacy Directive, formally known as Directive 2002/58/EC, is a piece of European Union legislation that was adopted in July 2002. It aims to protect the privacy of individuals in the context of electronic communications. The directive primarily focuses on the confidentiality of communications, the rules for the processing of personal data in public communications networks, and the privacy of users of electronic communications services.
The ePrivacy Regulation is a proposed legislative framework in the European Union aimed at ensuring privacy and confidentiality in electronic communications. It is designed to complement the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by setting specific rules for privacy in digital communications, online tracking, and cookies. Key objectives of the ePrivacy Regulation include: 1. **Confidentiality of Communications**: Ensuring that all electronic communications (e.g., emails, messaging apps, VoIP communications) are confidential and protected from interference.
An emoticon is a textual representation of a facial expression used in digital communication to convey emotions or feelings. Typically consisting of keyboard characters, emoticons can be simple, like the smiley face :-) or sad face :-(. They are used to add emotional context to written communication, helping to express tone and intention. For example: - A smiley face :-) indicates happiness or friendliness. - A frown :-( indicates sadness or displeasure.
MissingNo. (short for "Missing Number") is a glitch character from the Pokémon video game series, particularly known from the original Pokémon Red and Blue games released for the Game Boy in the 1990s. It is not an intended Pokémon, but rather a result of programming errors that occur in the game. MissingNo. arises when the game encounters data it doesn't recognize, often when the player performs certain actions that exploit bugs in the game's code.
A virtual economy refers to an economic system that exists within a virtual environment, often characterized by digital goods, virtual currencies, and the interactions of users in online platforms or virtual worlds. These economies can be found in online games, social media platforms, virtual marketplaces, and other digital spaces.
Email filtering is the process of automatically sorting and managing incoming emails based on predefined criteria. This can help users organize their inboxes, prioritize messages, and reduce spam or unwanted emails. Email filtering can be applied using various methods, and it typically involves a set of rules or algorithms that evaluate incoming emails based on their content, sender, subject line, and other attributes.
Email management refers to the systematic organization, handling, and maintenance of email communications and accounts to improve efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness in both personal and professional settings. It encompasses various practices, tools, and strategies aimed at managing the influx of emails in a way that minimizes clutter and maximizes accessibility and usefulness. Key components of email management include: 1. **Organization**: Setting up folders, labels, or categories to sort emails based on criteria such as project, priority, sender, or topic.
Email sender accreditation refers to the process through which email senders can validate their identity and establish their reputation as trustworthy senders within the email ecosystem. This is often critical for ensuring that emails are delivered to recipients’ inboxes rather than being filtered out as spam or unwanted mail.
A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for a specific host or resource on the internet. An FQDN specifies its exact location within the Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy, and it includes the host name and the domain name, including all higher levels of the domain. An FQDN consists of: 1. **Host Name**: The specific name for a particular computer or device within the domain (e.g.
The Global Address List (GAL) is a feature commonly used in email systems, particularly in Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft 365 environments. It is essentially a directory of all the users, groups, and resources within an organization's domain. The GAL allows users to easily find and contact coworkers, departments, and other email-enabled resources without needing to know the specific email addresses.
The Jessica Mydek hoax letter refers to a fraudulent correspondence that circulated online, in which a fictional character named Jessica Mydek supposedly wrote a letter describing her experiences and challenges. This letter gained attention for its emotional content and dramatic narrative, leading many readers to believe it was a genuine account. The letter was eventually revealed to be a hoax, prompting discussions about the dangers of misinformation, the impact of fake narratives online, and the importance of critical thinking when consuming content on the internet.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
