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.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}" 'clicking on NUMLOCK
Wscript.Sleep 5000 'sleep for 5 seconds
numOfMilliSecs=numOfMilliSecs-5000 'decreasing time by 5 seconds
Wend 'end of loop

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.

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
