For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages of files back and forth between these computers. IMAP can be regarded as the nextgeneration POP. A protocol used to transfer email messages from an email server to an email client.

Most Web servers produce “log files,” timestamped lists of every request that the server receives. For each request, the log file contains anonymous information such as date and time, the IP address of the browser making the request, the document or action that is being requested, the location of the document from which the request was made, and the type of browser that was being used. Log files are usually used to ensure quality of service. They also can be used in a limited way to analyze visitor activity.

An attack in which a malicious user records the traffic between a client and server. The packets sent from the client to the server are then played back or retransmitted to the server with slight variations of the time stamp and source IP address (in other words, spoofing). In some cases, this allows the malicious user to restart an old communication link with a server. Also referred to as a playback attack.
