Networks

Local Area Network
- All systems are linked by a Giga based Local Area Network. The entire campus has been provided with state of the art network based on Giga cables. It has been extended on optical fiber backbone to cover each and every corner of the University.
- A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other such as in an university building, a school, or residence. A LAN is useful for sharing resources like files, printers, games or other applications.
- A LAN in turn often connects to other LANs, and to the Internet or other WAN. Most local area networks are built with relatively inexpensive hardware such as Ethernet cables, network adapters, and hubs. Wireless LAN and other more advanced LAN hardware options also exist.

Wireless Networks
- Wireless networks are based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. A basic wireless network consists of multiple stations communicating with radios that broadcast in 2.4GHz.
- 802.11 networks are organized in two ways: in a BSS one station acts as a master with all the other stations associating to it; this is termed infrastructure mode and the master station is termed an access point (AP).
- In BSS mode all communication passes through the AP; even when one station wants to communicate with another wireless station messages must go through the AP. In the second form of network there is no master and stations communicate directly. This form of network is termed an IBSS and is commonly know as an adhoc network.

FAQ's

What is Computer Virus?

A computer virus is a malicious software program loaded onto a user's computer without the user's knowledge and performs malicious actions and can explicitly copies itself. Viruses, by definition, add their code to your system in such a way that when the infected part of the system executes, the virus does also.
e.g - Browser Hijacker, File Infector, Macro Virus, Polymorphic Virus, Multipartite Virus, Direct Action Virus, Boot Sector Virus, Web Scripting Virus, Memory Resident Virus,FAT Virus

How do viruses spread?

When you execute program code that's infected by a virus, the virus code will also run and try to infect other programs, either on the same computer or on other computers connected to it over a network. And the newly infected programs will try to infect yet more programs.
When you share a copy of an infected file with other computer users, running the file may also infect their computers; and files from those computers may spread the infection to yet more computers.
If your computer is infected with a boot sector virus, the virus tries to write copies of itself to the system areas of floppy disks and hard disks, Then the infected floppy disks may infect other computers that boot from them, and the virus copy on the hard disk will try to infect still more floppies.

What are the general tips to avoid virus infections?

There are a number of simple precautions you can take to keep your digital personal information secure:

Without harping on the subject - keep your antivirus up to date and protect yourself from trojans!
If you must store personal information on your machine, encrypt it.
Use strong passwords, that is: Use minimum 8 characters long combination of Alpha-Numeric and Special symbols meaningless words (e.g. A@20$z_Y).
Keep your Operating System and Applications up to date and patched against the latest discovered vulnerabilities.
Do not run files that are sent to you, unless you are completely sure of their integrity.
Do not click on hyperlinks from people you don't know.
Install a firewall application, particularly if you are connected to internet.
Ensure that the browser you use supports security and is capable of encrypting information that you may send.
If you are getting rid of an old machine, ensure that you have wiped the hard disk (using a wiping utility) deleting the files is not precaution enough.
Read website security and privacy policies.

What is my IP and how to get it?

Open Settings -> Network Internet -> Status -> View your Network properties

OR
Open Command Prompt (cmd) ->
Type ipconfig/all and Press Enter key.

Why does CCC filter and restrict access to some of the sites?

Central Computer Center provides open computing environment i.e. we do not normally restrict access into or out of our network. This is done to enhance academic environment within students and staff members of GBU, and our opinion of where security efforts give the best return.

Why should I care about computer security?

We use computers for everything from banking and investing to shopping and communicating with others through email or chat programs. Although you may not consider your communications "top secret," you probably do not want strangers reading your email, using your computer to attack other systems, sending fake email from your computer, or examining personal information stored on your computer (i.e. financial statements).

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on your browser when you visit some websites. They may contain things like passwords so you can log on to the site more easily. They are NOT spy programs but useful files to help you connect to websites more easily. You should not worry about them and certainly should not delete them.

What Is Booting Up?

Booting up is a term for starting your personal computer. It initiates an automatic routine that clears the computer's memory, loads the operating system, and prepares the computer for use.

How to setup manual Proxy?

For Windows 10 -
Open Settings -> Network Internet -> Proxy
