How
It Works: Data storage technologies
There are many possibilities for next generation
data storage: very large, extraordinary and ballistic
magnetoresistance; MEMS; near-field optics; holograms
and molecular switches. |

Attack
could overload Net
A method of exploiting
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) could,
in theory, clog large sections of the Internet,
according to a report by University of Maryland
researchers. The vulnerability, first uncovered
six years ago, could be used to bring the
world's information circulatory system to
a virtual standstill, according to the report.
The CERT Coordination Center, which
tracks computer and network security threats,
has issued a vulnerability note about the
security hole...
