Common standards that are mainly used in the application layer in TCP/IP are as follows.

1. HTTP (Hypertext transfer protocol):It is used to transfer files on web pages of World Wide Web.

2. FTP (File transfer protocol): It establishes a connection between two hosts. One is used for transferring data and other is used for controlling information.

3. SMTP (Simple mail transfer protocol): It is used for transferring messages from senders to receivers through TCP connections.

4. SNMP (Simple network management protocol):It is used to collect and exchange information between network management console and network devices.

Week 5

Task

Provide specific examples of adware attacks and their implications.

Summary

Adware is software applications which are displayed on the internet when a program is running. These are harmful as they include a code which fetches user’s personal information without his knowledge. Specific examples of adware attacks are that adware can be installed in the computer with or without the knowledge of the user. This adware are present in the form of pop up on the internet when certain sites are visited by the user. Clicking on those pop-ups can have negative effects on a computer such as it can track personal information of the user, it can destroy data that is stored in computer etc. This adware can also result in slowing down the internet connection. The user must install protection software that can be used for protecting the computer from negative effects of such hardware.
