Computer Crimes

Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems,
networks, and data from malicious attacks.
Cybercrime is defined as an unlawful action against any person using a computer, its systems, and its online or
offline applications. 
Virus is a program that can harm our devices and files and infect them for no further use.
Examples: Worm, ILOVEYOU, SQL Slammer, Stuxnet, Crypto Locker, Tinba, Welchia, and Slayer 
Antivirus is a software utility program designed to protect a system from internal attacks from viruses, Trojan
horses, spyware, and so on.
Examples: Norton, McAfee, and Kaspersky.

Internet
Network of Networks
The work on the internet started in the 1960s during the cold war between Russia and America. America wanted
to communicate with its armed forces. A network of four computers was developed in the beginning for this
purpose.
ARPANET
Russia launched the sputnik satellite and America developed a first network known as ARPANET during the
cold war. It was developed for Advance Research Project Agency (ARPA).
The work on the internet started in the 1960s during the cold war between Russia and America. DARPA=
Defense Advanced Research Project Agency. In 1989, all previous networks were replaced by NSFNET of the
National Science Foundation.
Father off Internet Vinton Gray Cerf. (U.S.A)
World Wide Web (WWW): Invented by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1989.
HTML→ Hypertext Markup Language. HTML was invented by Tim Berners Lee in 1989. World

John Napier was a Scottish mathematician. He created logarithm tables to facilitate calculations. He also created a
device known as Napier’s bones.
 Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician. He invented the mechanical adding machine in 1642 known as the
Pascaline calculator.
 Von Leibnitz
Von Leibniz was a German scientist. He developed a calculation machine in 1694. It was the first calculator that
could multiply and divide also. It was similar to Pascal’s calculator but it was more reliable and accurate.
 Charles Xavier
A French scientist Charles Xavier developed a machine that could perform addition, subtraction, and division.
 Punched Board
A French engineer Joseph developed the punchboard system for power looms.
It was used to create specific weaving patterns on cloths. Later on, the system was used in computing devices.
 Charles Babbage (1791–1871)
In 1822, mathematician Charles Babbage invented a different engine for mathematical calculations. In 1842, he
developed the Analytical Engine that was automatic. Charles Babbage was known as the Father of the Computer.
 Herman Hollerith
1889, Herman applied the idea of punchboards in computers.
He used punch cards in computers for input and output.
 John Vincent Atanasoff
Atanasoff was a professor at Lowa University. He invented the electronic computer.
He applied Boolean algebra to computer circuitry. Berry was a co-founder. Also known as ABC (Atanasoff and
Berry Computer).
 George Boole
George Boole simplified the binary system of algebra. His rule states that any mathematical equation can be stated
simply as either true or false.

Primary storage devices Secondary storage devices

It refers to the main memory such as ram & It refers to auxiliary memory, external memory or
rom secondary memory.

It holds data or instructions that are currently It is used to store and retrieve data or information
in use. on a long term basis.

It is a volatile memory. It is not volatile memory.

Data is directly accessed by the CPU. Data is not directly accessed by the CPU.
Common examples or primary storage include Common examples of secondary storage
ram, rom and cache memory. include HDD, CD, DVD, floppy disk, flash drives
etc.
 Memory
Memory is an area of a computer that stores data and instructions to be accessed by the processor as
well as the results of processing.
Structure of Main Memory
The main memory of a computer consists of thousands or millions of cells of storage locations. Each
cell can store a bit one bit can represent 0 or 1. Bit stands for Binary Digit. The memory cells are
logically organized into groups of 8 bits known as a byte.
Volatile Memory
Volatile memory loses its contents when the computer is turned off. RAM is the most common type of
volatile memory.
Non-Volatile Memory
It does not lose its contents when the computer is turned off. ROM, Flash memory, and CMOS are
examples of non-volatile memory.
RAM
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is also called direct access memory. Random Access
means that each byte in the entire memory can be accessed directly. RAM is a volatile memory. RAM
is also called main memory or primary storage.
 DRAM → Dynamic Random Access Memory
 DRAM → Dynamic Random Access Memory
 DRAM → Dynamic Random Access Memory
ROM
ROM stands for Read Only Memory
BIOS→ Basic Input / Output System. ROM contains a small set of instructions called ROM BIOS.
 PROM → Programmable Read-Only Memory
 EPROM → Erasable Programmable Read Only
 EEPROM→ Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
Cache Memory
A cache is a small and very fast memory. It is designed to speed up the transfer of data and instructions.
It is located close to the CPU Chip. It is faster than RAM. The data and instructions that are most
recently and most frequently used by the CPU are stored in the cache.
Flash Memory
Flash Memory consists of non-volatile memory chips. Most computers use it to store startup
instructions as it allows the computer to update its constants easily. BIOS is stored in flash memory.

RAM & ROM DIFFERENCES

RAM ROM

Random access memory (RAM) is expensive ROM is cheaper when compared to RAM.

Data stored on ram can be accessed by the If the Central Processing Unit (CPU) needs to access
central processing unit. the data on ROM, first the data must be transferred to
RAM, and then the Central Processing Unit (CPU) will
be able to access the data.

Data of ram is very volatile, it will exist as long Data present in Read-Only Memory (ROM) is not

 Ring Topology
 Star Topology
 Tree Topology
 Mesh Topology
Devices used to connect networks of computers

Routers: A router is a device that connects multiple networks that use similar or different protocols. It
manages the bet rout between any two communication networks. It consists of hardware and software.
The hardware can be a network server or a separate computer. The software includes operating system
and routing protocol.
Routers are used when several networks are connected together. They can connect networks of different
countries. They transfer data in less time.
Gateway: Gateway is a device that connects two or more networks with different types of protocols.
 Two different types of networks require a gateway to communicate with each other. It receives data
from one network and converts it according to the protocol of other network. Bridges: bridge is a
device that connects two network segments. It is used to connect similar types of networks.
LAN: LAN Stands for Local Area Network. It is the most common type of network. It
covers a small area.
WAN: WAN Stands for Wide Area Network. This type of network covers a large area.
MAN: MAN Stands for Metropolitan Area Network. This type of network covers an area of a city.
MAN is larger than LAN but smaller than WAN.
