Abstract: A system providing methodologies for automatically detecting when a computing device is plugged into a new network is described. The system includes methods for detecting a connection to a new network by receiving notice of, and evaluating, changes to an existing network configuration. The system profiles and generates an identity for the new network. This includes collecting information about the network to uniquely identify it and generating a unique identifier for the network. Once a network has been profiled, a user may decide whether or not to include it as part of a trusted zone. Alternatively, this decision may be guided by policy established by a system administrator or user. The system automatically reconfigures a firewall to include or exclude the network from the trusted zone based upon this decision. The profile of each network is stored so that the next time the device is connected to the same network it remembers the network and applies the same security settings previously adopted.

Abstract: A game for two contestants is played on a plane surface or board divided into a plurality of equal-sized squares having midway between the contestants a KETER ZONE comprising two rows of squares over the full width of the board, upon which at the start of the game playing pieces called KETER PAWNS are placed, one on each of the squares in the Keter Zone. Each contestant starts out with a uniquely distinguishable set of FIGHTING PAWNS OFF THE BOARD, equal in number to the number of Keter Pawns. At each contestant's end of the board an area equivalent to several squares is marked off as a HOME BASE; fighting pawns are generated on the board by moving keter pawns to the respective Home Base or by capturing keter pawns on the open board.
