>.ACCESS:the ability to get into something or locate something on a network or local machine.

>.ACCESS CODE:also known as login name or user id and password on a network which reguires u to login.

>ACCESS PERMISIONS:this allows u to execute,read or change a file depending on the permsion

>.ACCOUNT:your presence id on a computer system which allows u to login.

>.ADAPTER:another name for an expansion card,usally most of them plug into your expansion slots on your pc.

>ACTIVE X:a set of interacitve techonloiges devloped by Mcft,activex isnt a programming language but it can be dangerous for website viruses.

>ACTIVE OPEN:a state in which TCP is attempting to initiate a connection.

>ADDRESS:a memory location.The value is often displayed as hexadecimal,mostly to keep anyone but official pc postal employes from finding things on your computer>every thing on your hard drive has a memory location.

[color=cyan]>ADDRESS CLASS:a basic network of various sises.the network class can be determend from the first octet of its ip address

>ADDRESS RESOULUTION PROTOCOL:the process of determining a MAC address, given a more abstract LAN or WAN address. Any protocol used to obtain a mapping from a higher layer address to a lower layer address. Abbreviated ARP. The acronym ARP is most often used to refer to the Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol (below). The protocol used by an IP networking layer to map IP addresses to lower level hardware (i.e., MAC) addresses. There are four ARP messages for IP running over Ethernet:[/color] arp requests and replies and reverse arp request and replies. <ADMINISTARTOR:[/color]is somebody who maintains the system and is the boss over what happens,usally admins are not nesscarry at fault if there hacked!

>ADSL:adsl(asymetic digital subscriber line):[/color]is a connection to the net were users dont use dial up but have a connection 24/7 and usally have a static ip address.

>ADA: Pascal-descended language that was at one time made mandatory for Department of Defense software projects by the Pentagon. Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that, technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle (one common description wss "The PL/I of the 1980s"). Hackers find Ada's exception-handling and inter-process communication features particularly hilarious. Ada Lovelace (the daughter of Lord Byron who became the world's first programmer while cooperating with Charles Babbage on the design of his mechanical computing engines in the mid-1800s) would almost certainly blanch at the use to which her name has latterly been put; the kindest thing that has been said about it is that there is probably a good small language screaming to get out from inside its vast, elephantine bulk.

>AGENT:A program that performs one or more services (such as gathering information from the Internet), acting for or as a principal.

>ADVANCED PEER-TO-PEER NETWORKING(APPN):An IBM peer-to-peer networking architecture that uses interconnected Type 2.1 nodes. APPN supports dynamic routing,directory searches, and network management. >ADVANCED PROGRAM-TO-PROGRAM COMMUNICATIONS(APPC) SNA's standard program-to-program communications protocol. Sometimes the term APPC is used interchangeably with Logical Unit Type 6.2 (LU 6.2).

ALERT:A problem determination message sent to a network operator within IBM's network management system.

>ALOHA :A 4800bps Contention Based Radio Channel Transmission System Network used in the University of Hawaii (1968 - 1972) and designed by Morman Abramson to connect the university's mainfraim IBM 360 on the Island of Oahu and terminals plaaced throught different ships and nearby islands. Data coming from the mainfraim was sent to all other terminals while data from terminals was the Contention-Based part and would re-send data if no acknowledement data was received. VLAN :[/color] Virtual Local Area Network This is a network split into workgroups by routers and each assigned a server. As any message sent will have which workgroup it is aimed at, wokgroups not receiving messages can run faster as traffic is reduced. Standards --------- Ethernet :[/color] A Network standard that is a Contention-Based Network. Ethernet evolved from a radio channel transmission system called ALOHA.

>ALT:is commenly known as a computer control key but in internet terms alt is for connecting to newsgroups just like www is for connecting to the web.

>ALT.2600.hackers:is a newsgroup with about 200 posters and about 5000 lurkers,it is the group shady_harrasment_panda(writter of this dictioanryis a member of.alt.2600.hackers has alot of very intellegent hackers in the group.

>ALTERNITIVE CLIENT RESTOREL:The process of restoring files to a different client than the one from which they were backed up.

>.AMERICAL ONLINE(AOL):a large US owned internet service provider company which mainly attracts newbies,aol has the stricted rules out of all the isp ifu post to an hackers newsgroup they terminate your account!,aol commenly attracks lamers!

>.ANTIVIRUS:a program which scans a users hard drive looking for known viruses,worms,trojans,and joke files.

>AMIGA:A series of personal computer models originally sold by Commodore, based on 680x0 processors, custom support chips and an operating system that combined some of the best features of Macintosh and Unix with compatibility with neither.

The Amiga was released just as the personal computing world standardized on IBM-PC clones. This prevented it from gaining serious market share, despite the fact that the first Amigas had a substantial technological lead on the IBM XTs of the time. Instead, it acquired a small but zealous population of enthusiastic hackers who dreamt of one day unseating the clones (see Amiga Persecution Complex). The traits of this culture are both spoofed and illuminated in The BLAZE Humor Viewer. The strength of the Amiga platform seeded a small industry of companies building software and hardware for the platform, especially in graphics and video applications (see video toaster).

Due to spectacular mismanagement, Commodore did hardly any R&D, allowing the competition to close Amiga's technological lead. After Commodore went bankrupt in 1994 the technology passed through several hands, none of whom did much with it. However, the Amiga is still being produced in Europe under license and has a substantial number of fans, which will probably extend the platform's life considerably. viruses,common virus scanners include norton and mca
