The honey pot is a trap pirates is the reproduction of a system / program / wifi access point. It simulates a potentially interesting for an attack but has no interraction with the real system which is well on. It merely simulate activity / system services / activities of users of a system in operation. This are the different types of virus attacks and it's name.

A sandbox is a restricted environment in which usually turns (sometimes multiple) application. This environment is partitioned from the rest of the system. A user in a sandbox has access to only some list of operations. Thus if one malicious person arrives to launch a piece of code via an application in a tank, the effects will be limited because the user application owner (usually root) can make any changes to the system.

This is to attack a computer system by the link most likely to commit a mistake. When the aggressor is experienced about the arrangement of the body it is, it's easy to pretend to be one or two players of executives / managers and any pretext of emergency / constraints of society very serious , requesting sensitive information on computer system. The caller may be deceived by the hacker's knowledge of the organization of society and release of strategic information.

There is no technical parade, but only organizational. It is imperative to control who has access to what information and under what conditions and that they can be transmitted. It is also important to ensure that each caller to whom he is dealing. In proposing such a person to recall a number of the company or to send the requested information on an email. You can save your computer from different types of virus attacks, by using good antivirus software.
