Chapter 6
In the military we would use encryption all the time. We would load it to ensure that the communications were safe. It is all the same terms that we would use. Plain text was only used in basic internal uses. That is basically the same for computers. When I send an email, I use basic encryption but sending a note pad file it plain. All encryptions would need decryption, and we would have that loaded in our keys.
I never knew the term for all the viruses that we went over in this section. Like a worm in emails. I know that when I start in the tech field, I will probably have to start at the help desk. Knowing the differences between the viruses will be useful. Adware is something I try to avoid. I try to use adblockers to avoid the clutter of the website. A lot of sites are trying to block the use of adblocker though.
It is weird to see the way the web bug interacts with each other. The way that they can communicate with each other on the information they have is cool. From my understanding it is like a way that advertising targets what you like. So, when we are on amazon and stuff when we see the ads, it catered to us it is due to this. It is useful but sometimes invasive. To see companies watching what I am doing is strange.
