Types of Softwares

Software generally categorized into two types, which are as follows :

  1. System Softwares

  2. Application Softwares.    

 System Softwares:

    A system software is a set of programs which is designed to control different-different operations and more extend processing capabilities of a computer system. It can perform these functions one or more depending on program requirements on a given task.

  • Supports the development of other application software.
  • Supports the execution of other application software.
  • Handles the effective & efficient use of various hardware resources, such as CPU, memory peripherals etc. 
  • Controls and communicate with the operation of peripheral devices such as printer disk, tape etc.

    And system software makes the operation of a computer system more effective and efficient as we can see in its functions. It help the hardware components work together. These programme which are included in a system software package are called system programmes, and the programmers who prepare system software are referred to as system programmers. The most commonly known examples of system software are.............................

  1. Operating System: Every computer has an operating system software, which takes care of the effective and efficient utilization of all the hardware and software components of the computer system.
  2. Programming Language Translators: Programming language translators or we can say compilers or interpreters are also a system software, which transform the instructions prepared by programmers in a programming language in to the form which can be understand and executed by a computer system.
  3. Communication Software: In a network environment (where multiple computers are inter-connected together by communication
    network topologies). These software enables transfer of data and programms from one computer system to another over a network.
  4. Utility Programmes: Utility programmes are also set of some programs or it can be a single program, which help users in system maintenance tasks and in performing tasks of routine nature. These are some of the tasks which are commonly performed by utility programmes include formatting of hard disks or floppy disks, taking backup of files, stored on hard disk on to a tape or floppy disk, sorting of the files and data stored in a file a particular order based on some key field(s), etc.

    These programs are generally written in low level or middle level languages  like C, Ada, Nim etc. Here lot of functions and lot of classes used to develop each work processing these programs having lot of exception handlers to handle as possible as problems.They use lot of complex data structures to make a simple prorgram.

Types of operating systems

Today there are lot of operating systems in the internet but actually they are only based on these main operating systems. What we see on internet is that windows is an OS, Linux is an OS but actually it is not really true. These are true only in simple understanding but when we explore computers more then we see there are lot of types of operating systems available in the market. These are written below...... Batch Operating System Multi-programming OS. Time-sharing or multitasking operating systems Distributed operating System Network operating System Real Time operating System Hard real--time systems Soft real--time systems Batch operating system: These operating system can not interact directly with the computer. Batch processing is a technique in which an Operating System collects the programs and data together in a batch before processing starts.   Multi-programming OS: These type of OS are able to run multiple jobs simultaneously in the memory. For it, memory is considered a...

Man in the middle attack types

Types Of Man-In-The-Middle Attacks : Today internet is one of the most essential thing in our normal life and it plays a vital role in every industries. Our demand of internet is growing day by day and it is not going to stop until now.  Man in the middle attack is one of the most common cyber-attack.

So today i will tell you how an attacker can perform a man in the middle attack ,so just read this blog careful................... 1⃣ IP spoofing:   Every device capable of connecting to the web has an online protocol (IP) address, which is analogous to the road address for your home.  By spoofing an IP address, an attacker can trick you into thinking you’re intera...
