  2. Internet background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_background_noise

    Internet background noise has been used to detect significant changes in Internet traffic and connectivity during the 2011 political unrest from IP address blocks that were geolocated to Libya. [5] Backscatter is a term coined by Vern Paxson to describe Internet background noise resulting from a DDoS attack using multiple spoofed addresses. [6]

  3. The Hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

    The Hum is persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise audible to many but not all people. Hums have been reported in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.

  4. Noisy-channel coding theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-channel_coding_theorem

    In the style of the random coding argument, we randomly generate codewords of length n from a probability distribution Q. This code is revealed to the sender and receiver. It is also assumed that one knows the transition matrix p ( y | x ) {\displaystyle p(y|x)} for the channel being used.

  5. User error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_error

    This usage implies a lack of computer savviness, asserting that problems arising when using a device are the fault of the user. Critics of the term argue that many problems are caused instead by poor product designs that fail to anticipate the capabilities and needs of the user. The term can also be used for non-computer-related mistakes.

  6. Crackling noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crackling_noise

    The net force is composed of three components which can correspond to physical attributes of any crackling noise system; the first is an external force field (K) that increases with time (t). The second component is a force that is dependent on the sum of the states of neighbouring cells (S) and the third is a random component (r) scaled by (X ...

  7. Packet loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

    Other full queue mechanisms include random early detection and weighted random early detection. Dropping packets is undesirable as the packet is either lost or must be retransmitted and this can impact real-time throughput; however, increasing the buffer size can lead to bufferbloat which has its own impact on latency and jitter during congestion.

  8. Wi-Fi Protected Access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access

    These include design flaws in the Wi-Fi standard, affecting most devices, and programming errors in Wi-Fi products, making almost all Wi-Fi products vulnerable. The vulnerabilities impact all Wi-Fi security protocols, including WPA3 and WEP. Exploiting these flaws is complex but programming errors in Wi-Fi products are easier to exploit.

  9. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(electronics)

    Different types of noise are generated by different devices and different processes. Thermal noise is unavoidable at non-zero temperature (see fluctuation-dissipation theorem), while other types depend mostly on device type (such as shot noise, [1] [3] which needs a steep potential barrier) or manufacturing quality and semiconductor defects, such as conductance fluctuations, including 1/f noise.
