How does my employer know which sites I visit during private browsing?

My employer has told me that they have discovered that I have visited unsuitable sites. They must have found a way to get into my private browsing history. What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

There are services that will encrypt all of your web browsing so that intermediate computers and firewalls don't know what you're doing. (However, this will not fool a company proxy server.)
At this point, lots of secure traffic from your PC would look ''very'' suspicious. If your job is important to you, you probably should do your NSFW browsing from outside the company network.

  • Applications: How does OS X Know Which App to Reference a File to?

    I just got my new Macbook and while installing applications, a question I've had for a while came up again.
    How does OS X know to reference applications to certain file types?
    For example. I have a .avi I downloaded to watch, and downloaded VLC to watch it. I open the .dmg and drag/drop VLC to my Applications folder. Instantly, VLC appears in the "Open With" list for my .avi. How does it know to list it?
    My theories are:
    1. When dragging/dropping VLC, it's not just copying files, it's also doing some background stuff, including VLC telling OS X that it should be referenced for .avi files
    2. When I "Open With" a file, OS X looks at apps in my Applications folder and detects applicable ones in some manner.
    3. It's Voodoo magic.
    How does it work? I hope my question makes sense.
    Thanks!

    From what I understand, the second the .dmg is opened and VLC is seen by OS X as an application, Launch Services asks VLC what filetypes to associate it with, and adds that to the database? Then when I try to "open with" a .avi, it sees that .avi is associated with QuickTime, and now VLC too.
    that's right. inside the VLC application bundle there is a file called info.plist which contains among other things the info about which files VLC can handle. that file is consulted by the Launch services once it becomes aware of VLC being present in the system and that info is recorded in the launch services database. That's how it works with all applications. you can view this file if you want. control-click on VLC in finder and select "show package contents". in the new finder window that opens up go to Contens folder and quicklook the file info.plist.
    Is this correct?
    Thanks.

  • How does Goods Issue know which Batches to deallocate from A/R Credit Memo?

    Hi,
    I am creating an addon that runs after a A/R Credit Memo is created.  It creates a Goods Issue, and enters the Item Code and the Quantity from the line items on the Credit Memo into the Goods Issue.
    After it writes the Goods Issue to SAP, I open up the document it created and see that the line items are in there correctly, and that somehow the batches assigned to those line items are also in there.
    There is nothing in the code that does anything with the Batches, but somehow SAP knows which batches to work with.
    I haven't been able to find any info about it.  Can you please help us understand what is happening?  How does SAP know and make assignments to batches in line items in Goods Issues?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    Hi Michael and Gordon,
    Sorry Gordon, I'm quite sure you misunderstood Michael original question. Michael asked how the add-on he created could link corresponding batch number from an A/R Credit Memo document could be selected by Goods Issue document which generated by the add-on, while he actually never wrote a code to select any batches numbers which available in the system.
    Maybe a little bit of illustration:
    1. Item A, qty 10 - (batch A qty 5, batch B qty 3, batch C qty 2)
    2. A/R Credit Memo occurred, return of Item A with 3 qty (batch A qty 1, batch B qty 1, batch D qty 1). Therefore, item A latest position should be (batch A qty 6, batch B qty 4, batch C qty 2, batch D qty 1). This A/R Credit Memo created by add-on.
    3. Goods Issue document triggered by add-on. The problem is, Michael never write any code to select any batch numbers, and somehow the system choose batch number precisely as occurred in number 2 (A/R Credit Memo document), which is (batch A qty 1, batch B qty 1, batch D qty 1). Therefore the stock position for Item A back to as being displayed in number 1.
    I believe this shouldn't be possible at all. Unless, there is a certain mechanism in SAP that automatically choose batch number to used in Goods Issue document using LIFO (Last In First Out), which is, as far as I know never exist in any SAP B1 version. Yes you could automatically choose batch numbers according to available batch, but you could do this when system prompt you when you tried to issue certain document using SAP application itself, not using add-on.
    And of course, you could write a code to choose certain batches based on certain A/R Credit Memo, but still, you need to write a code, you can't do this without a code, selection of batches is compulsory when you tried to add a goods issue document which consist of items that managed using batches.
    In my opinion, I think it is better for you to re-write those codes and relate batches you want to attach with your Goods Issue document based on corresponding A/R Credit Memo. It is much safer, and the error message you encountered won't happen again in the future.

  • How does the scrollbar know which field it lands on?

    Hi all
    I'm looking at components at the moment. Not how to use them
    but how to create them yourself to increase your workflow.
    When dragging a scroll component on to a dynamic textfield it
    automatically determines which field it land on, and populate the
    targetInstanceName variable in the property inspector.
    How does it do that? I guess it's a jsfl file being run, but
    I can't figure out how to run a jsfl file the moment the user let
    go on the component.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Antony,
    There is no need of Sender Agreement and hence sender communication channel. Sender Agreement identifies three things,
    Namespace, Software component version and Outbound Interface. In Idoc communcation there is no need of Sender agreement as we can identify above things without Sender Agreement itself like namespace - Idocs have standard namespace and can be accessed across the sofwatware component versionsn and the idoc type it self specifies the interface name.
    You cannot define a sender IDOC channel in Integration Directory due to fact dat IDOC adapter does not run in J2EE AF but is an 'built in" adapter.
    Thanks,

  • SCOM 2012 - How does SQL MP "know" which instances are available and active?

    Using SCOM 2012 R2 with Microsoft's SQL MP 6.5.1.
    Getting alerts occasionally for issues with SQL instances which are later found to be not active any more or removed from the SQL server.
    Can someone explain how the MP determines which SQL instances are available?  Is it a matter of simply reading folder structures on the various mount points, reading registry?  Much appreciated for any tips.

    SCOM SQL MP will using discovery to discovery SQL instance. Once the SQL instance is discovery, the SQL instance object persist in the database even though the SQL instance is removed.
    Solution:
    To clean up the objects you can run the Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstance Powershell cmdlet. Then all the relationships that involve objects related to a disabled discovery is deleted.

  • How does disk utility decide which optical drive to use for burn?

    This is a somewhat daft question and purely out of interest.
    How does disk utility decide which optical drive bay to open for burning?
    I have two drives in a MacPro and both have the same capabilities (DVD-RW). Why does it sometimes open the lower one, and sometimes the top one?

    The estimate is based on how long it already took to do how many blocks, and how many blocks are left to do. If you told it to overwrite 35 times, it will be a long, long time before it completes.
    The estimate is made grossly large by the presence of Bad Blocks that need to be Read during the test (not the case with Erase and Write Zeroes).
    Each Block is written with some redundancy bits, so that small errors can be corrected on reading. A Bad Block causes the drive to re-read. and re-read, and re-read, in hopes of getting correctable data the next time. This should NOT be an issue in writing. But if the drive stops responding (which can and does happen with a bad drive) the Erase function will just sit there, thinking it is making progress, and stretching out the time.
    Thanks, Grant.
    If I read your reply correctly, Erase and Zero Out free space shouldn't elongate the process, because there's no read occurring.
    The drive will not be Mounted while Disk Utility works on it, so it will not be on the Desktop. But ask Apple System Profiler \[ About this Mac > More Info > Serial ATA ] if the drive is still THERE . If it cannot be seen, you have your answer -- the drive dropped out of sight while being tested -- Bad Drive.
    Well, now I am confused. It's a FW800 drive. It's on the Desktop. And it appears under FireWire in System Profiler. AND Disk Utility shows a mount point. But the Unmount and Eject buttons are grayed out.
    Will the drive be mounted if it fails to respond to Disk Utility? That doesn't seem to make sense.
    How do I determine its status? It appears to be stuck at "1 day, 5 hours" but it'll take an hour for that to change. I think it's been that long since I first noticed the time.

    why can't the system allow us to do promotion action before Hire action?where do we configure this to make it happen, how does the system knows to do the Hire action first, where are the settings for this..

    hai
    there are a number of programmes running in the back groung when u do any application.
    the validations will be written in them
    when u try to do something through the programe running at the back ground does these validations  like the example u have taken when u do the promotion action it checks whether actions exists or not if not then it throws the error written in the program.

  • How can i find that which page is opened in other browser window

    How can i find that which page is opened in other browser window
    Can i restrict opening of a new instance of browser by end user.
    Thanks in advance.

    you can use Javascript functions/varibles.
    In any page you can insert a special form like this:
    <form name="myNameWindow">
    <input type="hidden" name="myName" value="Ivan_pag01">
    </form>
    and in the other reading that value.
    Obviusly you have to save a reference in a variable of the other window.
    This is possible only if:
    1) other page is in the same browser window but in an other frame
    2) you have generated the other page via an "window.open" function (or your page is generated from it via that function)

  • Is content viewed during "private browsing" forensically extractable? e.g does it still write the content to the disk and can it be recovered?

    is content viewed during "private browsing" forensically extractable? e.g does it still write the content to the disk and can it be recovered?
    If a forensic investigator was to do forensics on my disk after i browsed content under private browsing, could it be recovered
    There is no intention to use this for illegall purposes, i just wondered how to private is "private browsing"

    Private browsing basically prevents any data from being stored in your Profile folder. [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing This] article provides more details.
    Please note that cookies '''are '''created during a private browsing session. However, they are deleted once the session is ended or when you exit Firefox application.
    Also note that other applications on your computer might be tracking which sites you visit (firewall, antivirus etc). They will still be able to collect your browsing related data even if you have activated private browsing in Firefox.

  • How do I enable plugins during Private Browsing sessions?

    I sometimes use Private Browsing. However, I noticed that when Private Browsing is enabled, plugins are disabled. I assume this is because some of the plugins maintain personal data, so Firefox cannot guarantee that the plugins will not store personal data during the Private Browsing session.
    Still, I want to enable plugins during Private Browsing and I accept the risks involved. But I have not yet figured out how to enable plugins during Private Browsing.
    How do I do enable plugins during Private Browsing?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == since Private Browsing was built into Firefox

    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private+Browsing
    The disabling of '''''plugins''''' isn't a feature of Private Browsing, what indication do you have that ''something'' is disabled?
    Or, are you talking about certain '''''extensions''''' or their features being disabled??
    That shouldn't happen either, unless a particular extension uses or extends the features in Firefox that are disabled in Private Browsing mode. I imagine that an extension that deals with Passwords, any type of History ''(like Download List, Forms, or Search)'', visited pages ''(browsing history)'', the Cache, or Cookies isn't going to work as it would in the "normal browsing" mode.

  • How do logos make it to the app tab when you pin them. Some sites do, some don't . Good for small businesses to know, also helps me know which sites I've pinned. Currently most are a piece of paper at the top, not a logo. Thanks.

    I've pinned several sites so far. Netzero has a nice logo, the others do not, which makes it hard to tell which sites at first glance. I do think smaller businesses would also benefit from understanding how to design their website so their logo ends up on a pinned tab.
    This is my first time playing with Firefox 4. Like the new look.

  • How does Google still know I've visited websites when my history is cleared?

    I have cleared all my history in Firefox, but when I browse on Google, it still says which pages I've visited (they have purple lettering instead of blue).
    I know it is a Firefox problem, because when I select "Never remember history", the sites will change back to blue text. However, I would like to track my history in the future. Any way to solve?

    There is no history when I clear everything in the Library (History > Show All History).
    So, Firefox is telling me everything is clear, however, Google is still telling me which sites I've visited and how many times.
    (Thanks for the links for updates)

  • How does Weblogic find out which webservice method to invoke?

    Hi!
    I developed a webservice which is currently running on weblogic & everything is fine ;). Yesterday I tried to get it running on a different app server (jboss) and it simply would not work. I always got an error, that the operation requested does not exist on the endpoint. I investigated the issue & came to the conclusion that it is correct...the operation requested does really not exist. Now...why does it work on weblogic?!?
    Here a few details on the application:
    important part from the wsdl & xsds:
    <wsdl:message name="performTransactionSearch">
    <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:performTransactionSearchRequest" />
    </wsdl:message>
    <wsdl:portType name="TransactionService">
    <wsdl:operation name="performTransactionSearch">
    <wsdl:input message="tns:performTransactionSearch" />
    <wsdl:output message="tns:performTransactionSearchResponse"/>
    </wsdl:operation>
    </wsdl:portType>
    <wsdl:binding name="O2HWOnlyJournalServicePortBinding" type="tns:O2HWOnlyJournalService">
    <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"
    style="document" />
    <wsdl:operation name="performTransactionSearch">
    <soap:operation soapAction="" />
    <wsdl:input>
    <soap:body use="literal" />
    </wsdl:input>
    <wsdl:output>
    <soap:body use="literal" />
    </wsdl:output>
    </wsdl:operation>
    </wsdl:binding>
    And here the xsd type:
    <xs:element name="performTransactionSearchRequest" type="tns:performTransactionSearchRequest"/>
    <xs:element name="performTransactionSearchResponse" type="tns:performTransactionSearchResponse"/>
    <xs:complexType name="performTransactionSearchRequest">
    <xs:all>
    <xs:element name="RequestHeader" type="base:requestHeader" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xs:element name="TransactionSearchCriteria" type="wstypes:transactionSearchCriteria" minOccurs="1"/>
    </xs:all>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:complexType name="performTransactionSearchResponse">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="SearchResponseItem" type="wstypes:searchResponseItem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    Last but not least, the method:
    public List<SearchResponseItem> performTransactionSearch(RequestHeader header, TransactionSearchCriteria criteria) { ... }
    The difference in the soap request messages differs in the outer tag. Weblogic expects what is defined in the xsd -> <performTransactionSearchRequest>, whereas jboss expects the operation/method <performTransactionSearch>.
    With jboss it only works w/o the 'Request'-suffix....with Weblogic it only works with the suffix.
    In a last attempt I adjusted the xsd, and changed the name for the tag to 'performTransactionSearch'. In that case, both app servers accept the same request (the one w/o the 'Request'-suffix) & it works fine.
    Now...long story short ;) ... why is that? I understand why Jboss is not able to work with the "wrong" tag, even though it is strange that it accepts a tag that is not even defined in the xsd.
    But, at least to me, I found it even stranger, that weblogic "knows" which operation to invoke. Can anyone give a little insight how a soap message gets processed in wl & how wl finds out which operation to invoke?
    Many thanks in advance :).

    Hi
    I am seeing frequent FULL GC This is because you are creating and destroying objects VERY frequently. Try to look at your design and see where you can reuse objects (i.e. object pooling) if possible, that is if this is adversely affecting performance.
    and not able to locate
    which particular class/method is calling the
    System.gc(). Classes don't call GC. The VM handles that automagically.
    I have disabled it using
    -XX:DisableExplicitGC and performance issues have
    been resolved. Also, I noticed that it does not
    happen periodically, so it is not RMI GC. How to find
    out who exactly is doing this? Does any of of the
    profilers like Optimizeit/Jprobe help find out this.OptimizeIt will tell you everything you need to know. However, NetBeans offers a free profiler now!
