A computer is a machine or device that
performs processes, calculations and
operations based on instructions provided
by a software or hardware program.
computers are electronic devices used for a
variety of purposes ranging from browsing
the web, writing documents, editing videos,
creating applications, playing video games,
etc.
What is a Computer?
Hardware and software of computer
Computer Hardware
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer. Computer Hardware
is any part of the computer that we can touch these parts.
Computer Software
Software is a collection of instructions, procedures, documentation that
performs different tasks on a computer system. we can say also Computer
Software is a programming code executed on a computer processor

Computer language or programming language is a coded syntax used by
computer programmers to communicate with a computer. Computer language
establishes a flow of communication between software programs.

Basic characteristics about computer
How are computers used today?
Today, computers do jobs that used to be complicated
much simpler. For example, you can write a letter in
a word processor, edit it anytime, spell check, print
copies, and send it to someone across the world in
seconds. All these activities would have taken someone
days, if not months, to do before. Also, these examples
are a small fraction of what computers can do.
Functions of computer
1.Program execution
2.Accept data from input device
3.Store data and program from
memory
4.Data processing
5.Send output to output device
6.Control all operation
 Assist the physically challenged
Advantages of Using Computer
 Increases your productivity
 Storage
 Connects to the Internet
 Organized Data and Information
 Improves your abilities
 Keeps you entertained
Dis Advantages of Using Computer
⤬ Too much sitting
⤬ Short attention span and too much multitasking
⤬ Carpal tunnel and eye strain
⤬ Potential of loss of privacy

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Social engineering attacks are not the complex attack which requires strong technical knowledge .an attacker might be non technical personal as defined earlier it is an act of stealing information from people . however social engineering attacks are performed by the following steps Research Research phase includes a collection of information about target organization. It may be collected by dumpster diving, scanning websites of the organization, finding information on the internet, gathering information from employees of the target organization, etc. Select Target In the selection of target phase, attacker select the target among other employees of an organization. A frustrated target is more preferred as it will be easy to reveal information from him. Relationship Relationship phase includes creating a relationship with the target in the way that he could not identify the intention in fact target will be trusting the attacker. More Trust level between target and attacker will be easier to reveal information. Exploit Exploit of relationship by a collection of sensitive information such as Username, Passwords, network information, etc.
