If you’ve already created this document, you can click the USE CURRENT DOCUMENT. Otherwise, click Start from a template or Start from existing document, and then locate the template or document that you want to use

Step3.

Connect to the data source. The information that you want to merge into your documents will be stored in the data source, and can be found in your Outlook contacts or in an existing file. If you have not yet created this information, select Type a New List to begin creating

Step4.

Indicate what records you want to include by checking or un-checking the subsequent box.

Step5.

Add fields to your document. Think of a “field” as that information that is unique to each letter. For example, it might be the address of each recipient. You could also choose More Items. This will allow you to add any specific information that you had included in your data file. [[

Step6.

Preview and complete the merge. To preview, you can scroll through each merged document, making sure that there are no mistakes.

Use Wireshark to Sniff Traffic

Use Wireshark to Sniff Traffic

1.     Download and install the latest stable version of Wireshark .

2.     Click on the Capture menu and then select interfaces.

3.     Click the Start button next to the interface that shows packets being sent and

received. If you have multiple interfaces with packet activity, choose one of them—

preferably the interface with the most activity.

4. Click on a packet to analyze that single packet. The detailed headers will be displayed

beneath the packet capture screen.

5. Expand each header (IP, TCP) of a packet and identify the address information.

This exercise will provide much more network traffic if performed on a hub rather than a

switch. A wireless network can be used, as a wireless LAN is a shared network segment

similar to how a hub operates.

5. Name the new filter in the filter name field.

6. Type host IPaddress in the filter string field.

7. Click OK.

8. Select the capture menu and click start to begin the capture.

[HIDING FILES]

[HIDING FILES]

To prevent confidential data from theft or with the hackers there are two ways to hide files so that any user can’t harm your data. The first is to use the attrib command. To hide a file with the attrib command, type the

Following at the command prompt:

      

                                               Attrib +h [file/directory]

The second way to hide a file in Windows is with NTFS alternate data streaming. NTFS

File systems used by Windows NT, 2000, and XP have a feature called alternate data streams

->Hiding Files Using NT FS File Streaming

Note: This exercise will only work on systems using the NTFS file system.

To create and test an NTFS file stream:

1. At the command line, enter notepad test.txt.

2. Put some data in the file, save the file, and close Notepad. Step 1 will open Notepad.

3. At the command line, enter dir test.txt and note the file size.

4. At the command line, enter notepad test.txt:hidden.txt. Type some text into

Notepad, save the file, and close it.

5. Check the file size again (it should be the same as in step 3).

6. Open test.txt. You see only the original data.

7. Enter type test.txt:hidden.txt at the command line. A syntax error message is displayed5a0c-a589

The Boot Process

BOOT PROCESS

Boot process is the important to start the system .It is the first process to execute .process of automatic loading of operating system to primary storage, and readying a computer system for use .in simple words we can say the process that make a system able to start and use its resources called boot process .

The boot process includes following steps:-

1: POST:-

Power on self test is the first program executes .its work is to check all resources that if they work properly or not if there is any problem occurs it findout the cause of the problem and resolve that.

2: Execute BIOS Instructions:-

In brief BIOS called (basic input output system ),is a important part of the operating system its work is to check the operations and works of all INPUT/OUTPUT ,and STORAGE DEVICES .It controls there operations also.

3: Boot Strap Loader:-

Is a small program which load in Ram (primary memory).

4:MBR(MASTER BOOT RECORD):-Is created on hard disks first track and when it is full the system unable to boot.

The process of boot:-

The last process in the pc startup is read the operating system. The startup program is a instructor to find the master boot record .this is located in a very first sector on either hard drive (c drive)or floppy drive(A drive) .From MBR(MASTER BOOT RECORD)it reads the BOOT STRAP(IS A PROGRAM)which points to the location of the startup files of the O.S. by default the pc will look for a boot sector in a floppy drive A. In drive A the startup program will search for the boot sector on hard disk C, when the boot sector is found a small program (Boot program is read from there) the boot strap takes over control of the pc .The startup program have done its job new Dos, windows another o.s. takes over control.

(Basic Elements of C++)

Today’s topic is how to learn basic elements of c++ . before starting we should know something about c++. It’s a object oriented programming language developed in the year of 1980by Bjarne stroustrup in (AT&T BELL LABORATORIES,USA) the purpose to make this language is to simplify the procedure of problem solving that’s why it has all the qualities of c and add some more qualities and developed a language first its name is (C WITH CLASSES),but after some time he gave the name c++.

 

[Program Structure of C++]:=

To understand the program structure of c++ watch this program :-

//wish.cpp: printing a simple message

#include<iostream.h>

Void main()

{

     Cout<<”WISH YOU HAPPY LEARNING C++”?

}

The  given program has six lines:-

                                                   DISCRIPTION OF PROGRAM

1: //wish.cpp: printing a simple message              à(COMMENT)

2:#include<iostream.h>                                             à(PREPROCESSOR DIRECTIVE)

3: void main()                                                              à(FUNCTION DECLARATOR)

4:{                                                                                  à (START OF FUNCTION)

5: Cout<<”WISH YOU HAPPY LEARNING C++”?    à (MAIN FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT PART)

6:}                                                                                  à(END OF FUNCTION)

First Line:-

The statement given in the double slash (//) called comment and compiler not run this line , comment is not part of the program but it works like the header of the program ,this line is written just for the convenience of the programmer so that in future it helps in modifying the code.

Second Line:-

The second line is preprocessor directive

#include<iostream.h>

Include the statement of header file .It consist commands and constants which is used in program. In iostream file it consist declaration which is needed to cout and cin (stream objects).

There are lots of preprocessor directives in c++.

Third Line:-

C++ is depended on a set of functions just like C. Every c++ program has a main function from where the execution of program is started .Except main all program  is given by the programmer .after the function there is a pair of parenthesis it has arguments and sometimes not. The parenthesis is important to mention otherwise it will show an error message.

Fourth Line:-

The main part of the c++ program is its curly braces({) arguments are written within this braces.

Fifth Line:-

Cout this function Is used to show the given message and is related to console. A console is a black dos like screen is show when the program is execute and  all results are shown on that black screen.

Sixth Line:-

(}) show the end of the function body.

             HOW TO RUN A C++ PROGRAM

Writing a program:-

Before writing the program start the turbo c++ software .after showing program window press ALT+F and choose NEW and after this a window show written at the top NONAME00.CPP ,now you can start writing the code.

Saving a Program:-

After creating the program press ALT+F and choose save option or you can press F2 after that a save dialog box shown here you can give a name to the file and give a extension and save it.

Compiling a program:-

Now save the file with cpp extension and save it with any name. after compiling process your file become a object file  . if there is any error in the code it show a error message otherwise show a message like( 0ERROE0WARNING).You can compile the program after pressing the key ALT+F9.

Linking the Program:-

The purpose to link  a program is make the program executable. after this you can run it independently .To link press ALT+C together.

Executing the Program:-

For execution of  program press CTRL+F9.

Implementing the user window:-

To see the output on the screen press ALT+W and choose USER WINDOW ,or you can use ALT+F5when output not shown on the screen.
