Architecture of Security Tools Presentation (2)

In Part 2 of the Architecture of a Proactive Security tool presentation, we will look at some of the programming constructs we will use such as threads and IPC mechanisms. This presentation will no way cover them exhaustively, but instead provide enough details to be able to understand the code to be used in the next set of videos. It is left as an exercise to the user to explore them.
