@ubiquitous one:
"That's right. I could have Googled it and given you the answers you wanted, but frankly, I don't think you know what it is either. You can't even remember what happened yesterday."
A SYN flood is used in a denial of service attack, where the attacker sends burst of TCP SYN (request for connection) packets.
NAT (network address translation) and PAT (port address translation) are firewall concepts and provide security by either masking an IP address or port.
The SID (security identifier) suffix for the built-in local admin acount on all Windows systems always ends in 501.
A KDC (key distribution center) is a function of Kerberos, and is used in both LDAP and MS Active Directory implementations.
I realize these concepts are beyond the comprehension of a 10 year old, so I'm not expecting you to understand them. School is dismissed for today, junior, check back tomorrow if you would like me to teach you more. My comment about forgetting security, means that I have much more knowledge of the topic than you, not that I have forgotten it. But again, I don't expect you to understand.
"Well old man, considering your still stuck in the tape drive era and don't even know how to do a simple malware or virus scan, I don't think you're terribly qualified to preach to me about your mail order knowledge. Even a child can do a simple malware or virus scan, yet that seems to be beyond your comprehension."
Please re-read the entire discussion between us and show me exactly where I said that I do not run anti-virus or malware clients on my computer, and that I do not perform regular scans. I didn't say that, and I do run them. You are making assumptions, and handing out the very absolutes that you accused me of earlier - hypocrite. BTW - the comments about my age may be funny, but they have nothing what so ever to do with the topic which you keep avoiding. But since you went there first - I think I hear your parents calling, maybe you should change your diaper and go home.
