Phishing and Pharming

Phishing and Pharming are two techniques of hacking and here you will come to know the exact difference between two similar appealing words.

Phishing
 
Act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a website where user are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has.



Pharming

audio cd v/s mp3 cd

Friends,many of you won't be knowing that audio cd differs much much from mp3 cd .
To make it simple, an audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio) is one that you buy from stores and contains only audio tracks. Audio CDs are compatible with most of current CD-drives, including your CD/DVD drive on your computer, and your car CD player.
The audio tracks are uncompressed digital data (essentially WAV). This explains why you can't fit 100 songs in an audio CD like an MP3 CD because the size of each track is big.Try to plug an audio CD into your computer CD/DVD drive, what you'd see are some files with the names similar to "track01.cda". These are audio tracks and called "pointers" files, and you can't just open them with your computer like any other computer file. The actual audio data is stored on the CD sectors and cannot be viewable on your computers.

MP3 (or "MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3") is an encoding format for audio data. An MP3 file is a compressed audio file.MP3 files are just like any other computer files. You can move them from place to place on your computer, or you can open them using different application software. MP3 CD is not like an audio CD but like an any other computer discs: it contains data files, not audio tracks.
So what makes it a big deal? Many CD-copy software have different selections for "Audio" and "Data". The "Audio" option is for creating a standard CD with audio tracks, while the "Data" option can be used to copy either computer data or MP3 files. Remember MP3 files are just like computer data files!
that's it!!!!
