How Internet has changed our lifes?

Nowadays we use Internet almost everyday, and you can do almost everything you can think of. For example whenever you use your mobile phone for chatting you are connected. Also many videogames today require an online connection to work. 

What´s more it has become an essential part of our lifes and allows us to do lots of things much easier, here we are going to talk about how it affects 3 examples of tasks of our daily life.

Sending photos

Long time ago, people only could send or receive letters or pictures by post. This had many disadvantages such as the time it took to reach the destination or the possibility that it could be harmed during the travel. When the email was invented this was much easier as people was able to send data whithout moving from their homes at the moment withour having to wait a long time until it arrived.

Setting an apointment with friends

Before the creation of Internet whenever we wanted to get together with some friends we had to decide the place and the time beforehand. But this causes that if someone could not go you would not know. But with Internet you could comunicate with them instantly and tell them if you can o cant go.

Comparing prices and buying

Before Internet the only way we had to do this was going from shop to shop looking for the best price and wasting a lot of time on it. But nowadays it is much easier because you can compare more prices from more different websites in less amount of time. Another thing is that what you buy can be send to your home. The bad thing is that there are frauds which make you lose your money. 

Code Red Malware

The Code Red was a informatic worm which apeared on 13 July 2001. This type of malware infected all the devices which used the Microsoft´s Operative System, entering in 360,000 computers in one day and between 1 and 2 million in total. This resulted in an estimated cuantity of $2.75 billion in clean-up costs.

What the worm did was using a vulnerability known as 'buffer overflow' in a file called IDQ.DLL. First, It inserted a large number of the character 'n',Then, it collapsed, so the worm was able to enter the computer and infect it from its inside.

            

This is an explame of an infected file^ 

When the virus was inside it searched for the file C:/NOTWORM, which he created before infecting computers,and looked for computers in English. When he found one with this two requirements he stay in the computer waiting for the infection to extend. The worm created 100 threads what make the server collapses so it have to restart. At a specific moment it made an attack of negation of the service to the direction www.whitehouse.gov, sending lots of trash, making the communication channels to collapse. Another thing the virus could do is use the threads for causing instability and the fall of the server.

The solution to eliminate temporally the worm from a computer was restarting it, but in order to not being infected again some patches had to be installed from the Microsoft website. The person who fixed it was called Kenneth D. Eichman and was invited to the White House after this.

Here you can see the message that appeared on the computer after being infected
