This paper describes an attack concept termed Drive-by Pharming where an attacker sets up a web page that, when simply viewed by the victim (on a JavaScript-enabled browser), attempts to change the DNS server settings on the victim’s home broadband router. As a result, future DNS queries are resolved by a DNS server of the attacker’s choice. The attacker can direct the victim’s Internet traffic...

Modern disk drives have become highly complex with increasing demands on high throughput, high reliability, high capacity, and low cost most of which are typically mutually exclusive. This paper takes a look at the reliability aspect of disk drives, and, more specifically, factors that cause a drive to fail. Failures fall into three main categories: hardware, software, and process. Many of the ...

The paper presents a computer analysis of inductive coupling of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problem. Its focus is on power electronics and electrical drives and tests performed by a numerical computer simulation that can disclose suite surprising findings about EMC problems.
