Transaction Properties : ACID

I've been trying to chakout the ACID, from quite a long time.. and postponing the same, every time i think of it... today, i decided to draft what i mean for ACID

As every one know, ACID means

  • Atomicity
  • Consistent
  • Isolated
  • Durability
This is common from high level understanding, what about in detail? In this post, i'm trying to post all my understanding about these 4 buzz words, correct me if i'm mistaken (or) miss spelled

Atomicity: this is in general talks about the changes or activities that are supposed to be happen in the given transaction. Inother words, all the changes that influence on the resource must happen on a single process or thread or operation, means on any kind of exception, the enitre thread has to be aborted. I recollect some statement from some of MSDN Magazine, "Every thing in the universe stops, the changes are made, and then every thing resumes"

Consistent: means the transaction should be on a crystal clear state of Yes or No, intoher words, Completed or Failed.. Hence the transaction will result in logical state instead of abiguity

Isolated: explains that, none other than the owner is allowed to peek into the process, while executing. Inother words, no other entity is able to see the intermediate state of the resource during the transaction

Durability: tells that, the result of any process should remain constant with the time, inother words, the results of a sucessful transaction are to be persisted

What do you say?

Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised ML technique

Declaimer This is my initial version of the synopsis for PhD studies. There are plenty of things that i have to complete before i prepare the final version. Thus, this would be the alpha version. Due to the length of the blog post, will not be posting the entire draft. 1.Title of the thesis Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised Machine Learning Technique with Feature Selection 2.Introduction Intrusion Detection System, IDS, is a development which improve the network security and defending the information of the association. The IDS encourage the network chairman to recognize any malicious action on the network and alarms the executive to get the information made sure about by taking the appropriate activities against those attacks. An intrusion alludes to any unauthorized access or malicious usage of data assets. An intruder or an attacker is a true element that attempts to discover a way to increase unauthorized access to data, causes hurt or take part in different

Common mistakes by Interviewer

Now-a-days am conducting few interviews for our organization. While sitting in the other side of the table, I've visualized why most of the interviews fail with me. But when conducting these interviews, most of the candidates are attending with self confidence that they are suitable for the mentioned role and attend without preparation. When people do some real preparation, they tend to fail due to lack of awareness at the interviewer towards interviewing techniques. Having failed in many interviews, I've learned that the interviews fail because of the following... Reflection (or) Mirroring: The interviewer tends to see self within the candidate. The interviewer starts to compare self with the candidate and evaluate. This evaluation is totally personal. The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire. The interviewer measures the candidate with respect to the list of st

Keep the system active, to avoid the auto lock

Most of the corporate offices will have a policy for screen locking. While working with a long running applications at background, like the automation scripts for testing the applications, it would be difficult to maintain the unlock state of the screen. Thus, we found a technique to keep the system active with a cheating technique. Below is the powershall scripts that keeps the system active ' I am clicking on NUMLOCK for every 5 seconds to keep the system awake Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")'to get user name numOfHours=inputbox("Hi " & objNetwork.UserName & ", How many hours you want me to be awake? :->") 'time variable conatins the time in hours Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Creating an object for clicking keys from keyboard numOfMilliSecs=numOfHours*3600*1000 'converting hours to milli seconds While numOfMilliSecs>0 'runs until tym becomes zero WshShell.Send
