Title: Computer memory
Content: benignly by desirable programs which are intended to modify other programs; in the modern age, this is generally considered bad programming practice for application programs, but it may be used by system development tools such as debuggers, for example to insert breakpoints or hooks. Protected memory assigns programs their own areas of memory. If the operating system detects that a program has tried to alter memory that does not belong to it, the program is terminated (or otherwise restricted or redirected). This way, only the offending program crashes, and other programs are not affected by the misbehavior (whether accidental or

Title: Apple Worm
Content: a computer virus, the virus has other characters not present in the worm. Such programs do not necessarily cause collateral damage to the computing systems upon which their instructions execute; there is no reliance upon a vector to ensure subsequent execution. This extends to the computer virus; it need not be destructive in order to effect its communication between computational environments. A typical computer program manipulates data which is external to the corporeal representation of the computer program. In programmer-ese, this means the code and data spaces are kept separate. Programs which manipulate data which is internal to its corporeal

Title: Defensive programming
Content: the old designs were not developed or tested with those requirements in mind. Many software products have experienced problems with old legacy source code, for example: Notable examples of the legacy problem: Malicious users are likely to invent new kinds of representations of incorrect data. For example, if a program attempts to reject accessing the file "/etc/passwd", a cracker might pass another variant of this file name, like "/etc/./passwd". Canonicalization libraries can be employed to avoid bugs due to non-canonical input. Assume that code constructs that appear to be problem prone (similar to known vulnerabilities, etc.) are bugs and potential

Title: Tron 2.0
Content: flaming red environment of a firewall and the minimalistic white one of a PDA, battle viruses while fleeing a format, and wield a sniper rifle known as the LOL, additionally amplifying the damage with a skill called Megahurtz. Programs in the systems also bear various names - ordinary programs have ordinary first names such as "Frank_381" or "Brian.exe", ICP programs have names resembling system tools such as "servwatch.exe" or "sssys.dll", viruses have garbled names such as "HA-HA-HA-0X0->???" or "0XFFOOXXOR" (one of them is called "Durandal", while another is "(Ra*mpa^ncy)", two obvious references to Marathon), resource hogs are named after parodies

Title: Computer
Content: reliability within a predictable schedule and budget has historically been difficult; the academic and professional discipline of software engineering concentrates specifically on this challenge. Errors in computer programs are called "bugs". They may be benign and not affect the usefulness of the program, or have only subtle effects. But in some cases, they may cause the program or the entire system to "hang", becoming unresponsive to input such as mouse clicks or keystrokes, to completely fail, or to crash. Otherwise benign bugs may sometimes be harnessed for malicious intent by an unscrupulous user writing an exploit, code designed to take

Question: What name is given to a program designed to cause damage by attaching itself to other programs?
Answer: Virus
