6. Storm
Shaun Nichols: Before Conficker came around and got everyone worked into a lather, Storm was the big bad botnet on the block. First appearing in early 2007 as a fake news video on European flooding, the Storm malware menaced users for more than a year.
The huge botnet was also influential for its continued use of social engineering tactics. The malware disguised itself as everything from video files to greeting cards, and attacks were continuously refreshed to coincide with holidays and current news events.
While Storm has since been eclipsed by newer botnets, the name still brings to mind one of the most menacing attacks seen in recent years.
Iain Thomson: When extreme weather hit Europe the damage was bad enough, but the Storm code made things much worse. At a time when many were seriously concerned about the health and safety of friends and family, the last thing anyone needed was an infection.
But Storm was a classic piece of social engineering. At a time when people are concerned they don’t always think of the consequences, be it approving torture or opening an email attachment.
This kind of social networking is nothing new, of course, but the Storm malware did it very well indeed and proved very effective as a result.
5. Melissa
Shaun Nichols: It was a classic love story. Boy meets girl, girl dances for money, boy goes home and writes computer virus for girl, computer virus gets out of hand and causes millions of dollars in damage. It’s the Romeo and Juliet of our time.
When a New Jersey hacker wrote a small bit of code named after a stripper he met in Florida, he had no idea of the chaos that would ensue. The Melissa virus, as it came to be known, got way, way out of hand.
The virus spread like wildfire throughout the net, and an unintended effect of the worm led to a glut of email traffic that overflowed servers and caused tons of damage and lost work time to corporate IT systems.
The hacker himself was later caught and sentenced to a year and half in prison. Next time he wants to impress a girl, hopefully he’ll stick to chocolates and jewelery.
Iain Thomson: Now, I’ve done some stupid things to impress girls, things that cause me to bite my fist with embarrassment nowadays and one that left me with a small amount of scar tissue, but writing a computer virus makes these pale by comparison.
The real damage of Melissa was not in the code itself, but in its spamming capabilities. The software caused a massive overload of email systems and generated enough traffic to make it highly visible. Current computer malware writers have taken note of code like Melissa and now fly much lower under the wire to attract less attention.
Case:A company’s Fujitsu hard disk formatting recovery successfully, the data recovery center successfully overcome the hard disk formatting recovery, and successfully cracked the underlying data information of the hard disk, and successfully developed a powerful data recovery tool.On December 10, 2011, the Data Recovery Center received a call from a company’s customer for help, saying…
As we know: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 HDD can’t spin; board/chip be burnt; interface broken; etc. These problems are caused by PCB malfunction. Swap PCB of your Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives can resolve the problems.
1. Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Hard Drives PCB Buying Guide:
For Seagate HDD, just need the donor PCB has the same board number as yours.
* Seagate Hard Drive PCB Swap
2. Before Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 HDD PCB Swap you should know:
1. Most PCB’s BIOS chip(ROM Chip) store the unique information. We need change the BIOS form original PCB to replacement PCB, in order to make the replacement PCB compatible with the HDD. The 8pins (4 pins on each sides) with 25P05VP、25P10VP、25F512、25F1024、25F1024AN、SST25VF512、SST25VF010, etc. are the BIOS Chip.
Tips: Most of the TV/Phone Repair Shop can offer these services for just $5-%20
* Hard Drive PCB Swap: Change BIOS Chip, Main Chip
2. Some PCB don’t have separate BIOS. The BIOS be integrated on the Main Controller IC(The biggest chip on the board, also named Main Chip). We should exchange the Main Controller IC to let the HDD be recognized.

RAID
See redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks.
RAIN
See redundant array of independent nodes.
Raised floor
A type of flooring supported by a metal grid and typically used in data centers. Raised flooring can be removed in pieces to allow for cabling, wiring, and cooling systems to run under the floor space. When the floor is raised, it usually can accommodate space for walking or crawling in.
Recovery
The recreation of a past operational state of an entire application or computing environment. Recovery is required after an application or computing environment has been destroyed or otherwise rendered unusable. It may include restoration of application data, if that data has been destroyed as well.
Recovery point objective
Recovery point objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable time period prior to a failure or disaster during which changes to data may be lost as a consequence of recovery. Data changes preceding the failure or disaster by at least this time period are preserved by recovery. Zero is a valid value and is equivalent to a “zero data loss” requirement.
Recovery time objective
Recovery time objective (RTO) is the period of time after an outage in which the systems and data must be restored to the predetermined recovery point.
Red Hat Global File System
Red Hat Global File System (GFS) is an open source cluster file system and volume manager that executes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers attached to a storage area network (SAN). It enables a cluster of Linux servers to share data in a common pool of storage to provide a consistent file system image across server nodes. Red Hat Global File System works on all major server and storage platforms supported by Red Hat.
Redundancy
The inclusion of extra components of a given type in a system (beyond those required by the system to carry out its function) for the purpose of enabling continued operation in the event of a component failure.
Redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks
Redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks (RAID) is a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. RAID disk drives are used frequently on servers but aren’t generally necessary for personal computers. RAID allows you to store the same data redundantly (in multiple places) in a balanced way to improve overall performance.
Redundant array of independent nodes
Redundant array of independent nodes (RAIN) is a data storage and protection system architecture. It uses an open architecture that combines standard computing and networking hardware with management software to create a system that is more distributed and scalable. RAIN is based on the idea of linking RAID nodes together into a larger storage mechanism. In a RAIN setup, there are multiple servers, each with disk drive and RAID functionality, all working together as a RAIN, or a parity or mirrored implementation. RAIN may also be called storage grid.
Remote offices/branch offices (ROBOs)
Refers to corporate offices externally connected to a WAN or a LAN. These offices will often have one or more servers to provide branch users with file, print, and the other services required to maintain the daily routine.
Replicate
(n.) A copy of a collection of data.
(v.) The action of making a replicate as defined above.
Restore
To bring a desired data set back from the backup media.
Rotational latency
Also called rotational delay, the amount of time it takes for the desired sector of a disk (for example, the sector from which data is to be read or written) to rotate under the read-write heads of the disk drive. The average rotational latency for a disk is half the amount of time it takes for the disk to make one revolution. The term typically is applied to rotating storage devices, such as hard disk drives and floppy drives (and even older magnetic drum systems), but not to tape drives.
RPO
See recovery point objective.
RTO
See recovery time objective.
Run length limited
Run length limited (RLL) is an encoding scheme used to store data on newer PC hard disks. RLL produces fast data access times and increases a disk’s storage capacity over the older encoding scheme called MFM (modified frequency modulation).
