Password strength:

It´s important to create different passwords in different accounts to provide security to yourself.

1.- Think about 5 services you use with a password.

Instagram, gmail, twitter, facebook and snapchat

2.-  6 recommendations to create secure password.

Use a long password

Use alphanumeric combinations

Mix capital with lowercase letters

Interleave keyboard sings

Don´t put personal information in it

Don´t use the same password for everything

3.-  What is a password manager? Adventages and disadvantages.

A password manager is a program that is used to store a large number of user / password pairs.

The database where this information is stored is encrypted using a single key, so the user only has to memorize one key to access to all the others.

Advantages: Allows users to choose complex keys without fear of not being able to remember them later

Disadvantages: We can compromise our security by storing all our passwords

6.- Two-step verification. What is it?

2-step verification is a method of computer access that helps you to protect by making it harder for someone to sign in to your account

Use two different forms of identity: your password and a contact method
Even if someone discovers your password, they will not be able to log in if they don´t have access to your security information. That's why it's important that you use different passwords for all your accounts.

Create a user account:

1-First search “account” in the inicio and click on “create standard user account”.

2-Type you account’s name and click on ”create account”.

3-Click on the account that you´ve just created.

4-Click on create a new password.

5-Just type your new password

6-Now click on logg off and start your work with the now account that you’ve recently created.

An user profile is a virtual place with a name and usually a password which you can work from. It´s in computers and there you can save all your work. It can be administrator (that can change most  things of the computer, such as wallpapers) or standard (which doesn’t have administrator rights)

There are two types of users in Windows: Local users and domain users.

Local users:

 Are those which you can only use in the same machine they’ve been created.

Here you can be a standard user, who has limited rights, for example it can’t change the IP address.

You also can be an administrator, who is more free at working with the computer and with the security options.

Domain users:

A group of computers which you can access to from another computer called Domain Controller. From this one you can allow or deny several actions to the rest of the group, for instance changing the wallpaper.  The password of these users is verified from the Domain Controller. The disadvantage of this is that if you don’t have Access to the network, the user’s name cannot be validated, so if this happens you cannot work.

Every time you finish working from a Domain Controller you must log off (search on the keyboard “ctrl”, “alt” and “supr” and press them all at the same time to Access to a panel in which you’ll can log off).

1-First of all, once you’ve already opened the virtual machine, you should go to equipo from inicio.

2- At the right of the picture there is “Loccal Area Connection”, just click there and then click on “Properties”.

3-Now click on “Internet Protocol Version 4” and then click on “properties” again.

An IP address is a serie of 4 numbers separate by dots and less than 256 :

300.124.1.2 This is wrong

125.124.1.2 this is good

There are two different types Public and Private (a router has a private and a public IP Address)

·         Private:   10.x.x.x   192.168.x.x  and  172.16.x.x but the last one is not comun.

·         Public: Every computer has a different one and people can see yours in the internet.

·         Static: Is manually configured by the ISP(orange, Ono, Yoigo…)

·         Dynamic: Is automatic configured

How to change the IP of a computer?

NIC IP Configuration:

1.    IP Address  10.0.72.10

2.    Network Mask:  255.255.255.0 (normalmente suele ser con tres veces 255, el tercero marca la cantidad de ordenadores que están conectados)

3.    Gateway: “IP of the router”

4.    DNS:-Dinamic  -Name  -Server  Is theIP Address of a machine (Sin DNS no hay internet, son IPs públicas)
