Share: API

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allow one software application to interact with another. It defines the methods and data formats that applications use to request and exchange information. APIs are used to allow different systems, services, or components to communicate with each other.

APIs typically work by defining endpoints (URLs) where one system can send requests, and the system receiving the request processes it and sends a response back. Here's a basic overview of how the process works:

1. Client (Requester): The system (or program) that initiates the request. This could be a user interacting with an app, or a program that needs to fetch data from another service.

2. API Endpoint: An endpoint is a specific URL or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) on the server that defines where the request should be sent.

3. Request: The client sends an HTTP request to the API endpoint. This can be one of several types:
GET: Retrieve data.
POST: Send data (e.g., create a resource).
PUT/PATCH: Update data.
DELETE: Delete data.

4. Server: The server hosts the API, processes incoming requests, performs the requested action, and sends back a response.

5. Response: After processing the request, the server sends a response back to the client. This could be in various formats, commonly JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML. The response typically includes a status code indicating success (e.g., 200 for OK) or failure (e.g., 404 for not found).

Share: DDoS

Distributed denial of service (DDoS), happens when attackers send requests to a target’s IP address, causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic. Symptoms of a DDoS attack: - a site or service is suddenly very slow or unavailable - suspicious amounts of traffic from a single IP or IP range - suspicious amounts of traffic from users who share the same profile, device, etc - odd traffic patterns, spikes at odd hours, etc Some methods to reduce or even to prevent DDoS: - monitor web traffic - restriction (for example country) - use cloud - increase bandwidth - have plans (for example security plans)

Share: A.I. Chat

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat, often referred to as A.I. chat or chatbots, represents a revolutionary approach to human-computer interaction. It involves the use of advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to enable computers to engage in natural language conversations with users. A.I. chat systems have become increasingly prevalent in various applications, ranging from customer support and virtual assistants to educational tools and entertainment platforms. Evolution of A.I. Chat: The roots of A.I. chat can be traced back to early attempts at creating conversational agents, such as ELIZA in the 1960s. These early systems relied on rule-based approaches and predefined scripts to simulate conversations. Over the years, advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning have transformed A.I. chat into more sophisticated and context-aware systems. Key Components of A.I. Chat: * Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is a critical component ...

Share: Money Game

Money game schemes, also known as 'Skim Cepat Kaya', are schemes dressed up as an investment-platform. They look legitimate but in fact they are illegal. Often, they falsely promise much higher interest rates, returns or profits to attract potential victims. They have no intention to uphold their promises. They seek to lure new victims. They use the new depositors' money to repay the earlier depositors. Eventually, these money game schemes will collapse and the depositors will lose their investments and money. Members of these money game schemes will approach the victims at various locations. They normally come with luxury cars to convince the victims. During sharing, they will emphasize someone to be successful after joining the investment scheme. Remember: * Only deposit and invest with parties licensed by the authorities. * When in doubt, check with Bank Negara Malaysia, the Securities Commission or other relevant authorities about a company before making any decision.
