ipconfig/displaydns

Why does the aboave command prints URLs, Websites addresses that we have never accessed before ?
When your system communicates with the DNS server for resolvingthe name queries, Your system builds the cache over the perios of time, This cache normally contains records from the host file and also the retrieved records from the recently resolved queries.
Coming to the question that the site which were never accessed showing up there. DNS cache notes down positive and negative results as well. as you know caching is all about performance improvment. Now lets say you accessed Website1 and Website1 has some functionalities which makes it to communicate with Website2. Now Fortunately or unfortunately Website2 is blocked in your network and name query for this Website is not resolved. Still this unresolved queries will be recorded in DNS cache.
I think those results are coming as they were initiated from your system implicitly.
Issue this command to clean the DNS cache

As you have not specified whether You want to know more about the infrastructure, security or you are interested in their operating model, staff size and remote site management?

The Bourne Betrayal | Book Review

Novel by Eric Van Lustbader and Robert Ludlum I like all Robert Ludlum’s novels including those which are written by Evan Lastbadder. To me his novels have taken fiction to the next level. During my way back to Hyderabad from my last summer trip to hometown I bought paperback version of “The Bourne Betryal”. This novel was full of Lastbadder’s style of writing than Robert Ludlum’s one.  I took almost 6 months to complete it. This novel has something different to offer actually. Plot is exciting but the story is not very accelerating. Jason bourn and Martin Lindros, When martin Lindros decided to come back in the field operations with the aim to destroy Fadi and When Martin is out the track , Jason is the only help possible in the situation. Story takes you through various struggle of Jason to bring Martin back home. There are few things where author has not even paid any attention for example how does an ordinary Pakistani Waiter will have that much of information   Towa...
