A Case Study: Using Architectural Features to Improve Sophisticated Denial-of-Service Attack Detections

Application features such as port numbers are used by Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems NIDSs to detect attacks coming from networks. System calls and the operating system related information are used by Host-based Intrusion Detection Systems HIDSs to detect intrusions towards a host. However, the relationship between hardware architecture events and...

AMD rolls out 8 new Athlon CPUs in time for Windows 7

Too littleI've bought AMD CPUs in the past, but they lost their edge with Intel's release of Core 2. AMD has yet to recover. I just don't see myself going AMD to save $50. Frankly, $100 won't move me when I consider I will keep a new...

Don't discount network technology in the energy-efficiency equation

I haven't much thought about the role of networking equipment in more energy-efficient data centers. But switch maker Voltaire, a specialist in InfiniBand technology, is now co-opting this rallying cry. What gives it the right? Well, for starters, it's worth noting that some flavor of the company's...
