MHT vs HTML

MHT files are very similar to HTML files. The difference is that an HTML file only holds the text content of the page. Any images seen in an HTML file are really just references to online or local images, which are then loaded when the HTML file is loaded. MHT files are different in that they actually hold the image files (and others like audio files) in one file so that even if the online or local images are removed, the MHT file can still be used to view the page and its other files. This is why MHT files are so useful for archiving pages: the files are stored offline and in one easy-to-access file regardless of whether or not they still exist online. Any relative links that were pointing to external files are remapped and pointed to the ones contained within the MHT file. You don't have to do this manually since it's done for you in the MHT creation process. The MHTML format is not a standard, so while one web browser might be able to save and view the file without any probl

General workflow to solve a recursion problem

Most IT security teams know they need to prioritize their worstvulnerabilities.

However, with the overload of vulnerability disclosures it has become an extremely challenging task. A secure web server isn’t really secure if the infrastructure supporting it remains vulnerable. Unless you implement infrastructure protection, your non-HTTP assets are vulnerable and you may not be as protected as you think you are.

How to Pass Arguments to a Bash Script

Bash arguments are accessed inside a script using the variables $1, $2, $3, and so on. The variable $1 refers to the first argument, $2 to the second argument, and $3 to the third argument. name=$1 email=$2 If you have a variable number of arguments, use the $@ variable, which is an array of all the input parameters. This procedure uses a for loop to iteratively process each one, as illustrated in the following example: for names in "$@" do echo $names done

Two data states: At rest and In transit

At rest : This includes all information storage objects, containers, and types that exist statically on physical media, whether magnetic or optical disk. In transit : When data is being transferred between components, locations, or programs, it's in transit. Examples are transfer over the network, across a service bus (from on-premises to cloud and vice-versa, including hybrid connections such as ExpressRoute), or during an input/output process.

Scriptable email client on Linux

The MH message handling system is a set of electronic mail programs in the public domain. If your computer runs Unix, it can probably run MH.The big difference between MH and most other "mail user agents" is that you can use MH from a Unix shell prompt. In MH, each command is a separate program, and the shell is used as an interpreter. So, all the power of Unix shells (pipes, redirection, history, aliases, and so on) works with MH--you don't have to learn a new interface. Other mail agents have their own command interpreter for their individual mail commands (although the mush mail agent simulates a Unix shell). Because MH commands aren't part of a monolithic mail system, you can use them at any time; you don't have to start or quit the mail agent. Because you use them from a shell prompt, you can use all the power of the shell. If your shell has time-saving aliases or functions (and most do),you'll be able to use them with MH, of course. And because MH isn

Understanding Ephemeral storage

Ephemeral storage, as its name suggests, exists only as long as the instance it is associated with. If and when the user decides to delete the instance, the ephemeral storage is destroyed along with it. This is in contrast to persistent storage which remains in existence even if it is not currently being used by an instance. Persistent storage can thus be reused across instances and is priced separately while ephemeral storage is tied to each instance and is included in the instance charges. Users familiar with PC storage might think of ephemeral storage as akin to a PC's internal disk drives; persistent storage can be considered similar to an external USB drive.
