    By convention, the PAC file is normally named proxy.pac. The WPAD standard uses wpad.dat. The .pac file is expected to contain at least one function: FindProxyForURL(url, host), with two arguments and return value in specific format: * url is the URL of the object * host is the host-name derived from that URL.

    The LAMP stack with Squid as web cache.. Squid is a caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy.It has a wide variety of uses, including speeding up a web server by caching repeated requests, caching World Wide Web (WWW), Domain Name System (DNS), and other network lookups for a group of people sharing network resources, and aiding security by filtering traffic.

  4. procfs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs

    The proc filesystem (procfs) is a special filesystem in Unix-like operating systems that presents information about processes and other system information in a hierarchical file-like structure, providing a more convenient and standardized method for dynamically accessing process data held in the kernel than traditional tracing methods or direct access to kernel memory.

  5. Time-of-check to time-of-use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use

    File system mazes force the victim to read a directory entry that is not in the OS cache, and the OS puts the victim to sleep while it is reading the directory from disk. Algorithmic complexity attacks force the victim to spend its entire scheduling quantum inside a single system call traversing the kernel's hash table of cached file names.

  6. Reverse proxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy

    A reverse proxy can optimize content by compressing it in order to speed up loading times. In a technique named "spoon-feeding", [4] a dynamically generated page can be produced all at once and served to the reverse proxy, which can then return it to the client a little bit at a time. The program that generates the page need not remain open ...

  7. systemd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd

    systemd tracks processes using the Linux kernel's cgroups subsystem instead of using process identifiers (PIDs); thus, daemons cannot "escape" systemd, not even by double-forking. systemd not only uses cgroups, but also augments them with systemd-nspawn and machinectl , two utility programs that facilitate the creation and management of Linux ...

  8. TCP offload engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_offload_engine

    TCP offload engine (TOE) is a technology used in some network interface cards (NIC) to offload processing of the entire TCP/IP stack to the network controller. It is primarily used with high-speed network interfaces, such as gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, where processing overhead of the network stack becomes significant.

  9. CPU time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_time

    CPU time (or process time) is the amount of time that a central processing unit (CPU) was used for processing instructions of a computer program or operating system. CPU time is measured in clock ticks or seconds. Sometimes it is useful to convert CPU time into a percentage of the CPU capacity, giving the CPU usage.
