Abstract

Software documentation is a critical attribute of both software projects and software engineering in general. Documentation is considered as a media of communication among the parties involved during software development as well the one who will be using the software. It consists of written particulars concerning software specifications as well as what it does, in which manner it accomplishes the specified details and even how to exercise it. In this paper, we tried to focus on the role of documentation in software projects.

Abstract

With ease of access of internet connectivity and owing to ability of maintaining anonymity, online chatting has become very common. Based on an empirical study comprising of more than 700 chatting sessions spread over a period of 15 months with nearly 2500 online chatters, this paper aims to present a psychological study and analysis of the behavior of chatters in online chatting environments. It has been found that the chatting environments are dominated by male gender and explicit sexual expression is common. The paper also laments the ability of chatting environments to be exploited as breeding ground for cyber crimes by using 'social engineering'. On the sidelines, the paper also lists the motivations driving the people to chat as well as the various rewards and drawbacks that chatting poses to the chatter in specific and society in general.

Abstract

In a computer network several communicating devices are connected to a common shared communication medium. A network interfacing card or a wireless network card is typically used to connect computers on a network. This gives rise to the need of unique identification mechanism to be followed for each of the connected devices. Media Access Control (MAC) addressing is used to properly identify communicating devices. The term MAC spoofing refers to a situation when somebody changes the MAC address of his computer or the network communicating device to impersonate someone else based upon this MAC address identification. Although MAC spoofing may be essential in some situations yet it has become potential threat for the network security as it sets ground for formulating and launching different types of Attacks like ARP Spoofing, DNS Poisoning, Denial of Services, Session Hijacking, Man in the Middle Attack etc. on a network. The purpose of this paper is to spread the awareness about MAC addressing, MAC spoofing techniques normally used, different types of attacks that can be based upon MAC spoofing and some of the counter measures that can be adopted by common network users.
