Assalamu'alaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
My first experience in learning English begin when i got English lesson on 4 th grade elementary school. I studied at Islamic mujahidin elementary school. My parent register me with a private teacher to make me good in English. First time i studied English my teacher suggest to introduce my self, im very nervous because its that first time i meet English lesson. My first sign in english lesson are "English is very difficult for me" over time my impression to English lesson are change. English leaguage not as bad as in my opinion. English is very funny lesson. There English language in game, western movie, western song and etc. I realized English language can you find everywhere.

I continue English study in junior high school number 17 in Pontianak city. I remember 1 st till 3 rd grade of junior high school name Mr Sunarto that s very fierce teacher. But him fiercely make me smart English, Thank s to my teacher who has taught me with difficulty. At an english school i begin to decline, and I tried to improve the way to learn English. at home I learn continuously to improve my English in schools. The way i overcome to English lesson, i expand vocabulary, if watch and listen to my song uses English then i understand the point of film and the song. That s the short story about my English learning experience.

WRITING

Writing is one of the most critical English language skills. Many English learners struggle with writing error-free sentences. We have noticed some common mistakes made by learners. Here is a list of things to keep in mind while writing in English
1. Consistency in the usages of tenses
    Make sure that you do not switch tenses while conveying the same idea.
    I went to my friend's house yesterday and we play football. (Incorrect)
    I went to my friend's house yesterday and we played football. (Correct)
    I wake up every day at 6 a.m. Then I had breakfast with my parents. (Incorrect)
    I wake up every day at 6 a.m. Then I have reakfast with my parents. (Correct)

2. Subject Verb Agreement
    This is one of the most common errors made in written English. It is important to choose the correct word form which agrees with the subject of the sentence.
    He like Chinese food. (Incorrect)
    He likes Chinese food. (Correct)
    I lives in Jaipur. (Incorrect)
    I live in Jaipur. (Correct)

3. Usage of Articles
    Since many foreign languages do not require the use of articles as much as the English language, this is another common mistake in English writing made by learners.
    I saw movie yesterday. (Incorrect)
    I saw a movie yesterday. (Correct)
    He liked book written by my father. (Incorrect)
    He liked the book written by my father. (Correct)

4. Capitalisation
    The first word of a sentence and proper nouns usually start with capital letters.
    he needs to see a Doctor. (Incorrect)
    He needs to see a doctor. (Incorrect)
    Will you meet amit tomorrow? (Incorrect)
    Will you meet Amit tomorrow? (Correct)

5. Spellings
    There are some words in English which have confusing spellings. It is important to use spell-check to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
    The principle of the school asked the students to keep quiet. (Incorrect)
    The principal of the school asked the students to keep quiet. (Correct)
    The bus was stationery for a long time. (Incorrect)
    The bus was stationary for a long time. (Correct)

6. Placement of Adverbs
    Some English learners find it confusing to place adverbs correctly within a sentence.
    I go to the library on Thursday usually. (Incorrect)
    I usually go to the library on Thursday. (Correct)
    My son everyday goes to school. (Incorrect)
    My son goes to school every day. (Correct)

7. Prepositions after Adjectives
    There are no rules to ascertain which preposition will follow a particular adjective. Therefore, the incorrect use of prepositions is a common thread in the writings of English learners.
    I am allergic of roses. (Incorrect)
    I am allergic to roses. (Correct)
    He is accused for theft. (Incorrect)
    He is accused of theft. (Correct)

8. Usage of 'I' and 'me'
    'I' and 'me' are both personal pronouns and are often used incorrectly.
    My friends and me went to Paris. (Incorrect)
    My friends and I went to Paris. (Correct)
    She came from Rome to meet I. (Incorrect)
    She came from Rome to meet me. (Correct)

9. Comparison of Adjectives
    There are two rules that need to be taken care of while making the comparative and superlative form of adjectives.
    He is more tallthan me. (Incorrect)
    He is taller than me. (Correct)
    She is the beautifullestgirl in the class. (Incorrect)
    She is the most beautiful girl in the class. (Correct)

10. Showing Possession
    In English, possession can be shown by using possessive nouns and pronouns.
    I went to my parents's house. (Incorrect)
    I went to my parents' house. (Correct)
    This book is her. (Incorrect)
    This book is hers. (Correct)

READING

According to Janette M Hughes, Reading is an interactive, problem-solving process of making meaning from texts.” Reading is a complex interaction between the text, the reader and the purposes for reading, which are shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge and experiences, the reader’s knowledge about reading and writing language and the reader’s language community which is culturally and socially situated.
He reading process involves 5 stages:
•    Prereading
•    Reading
•    Responding
•    Exploring
•    Applying

Reading Strategies
•    Activating prior knowledge
•     Predicting
•    Visualizing
•    Questioning
•    Drawing inferences
•    Finding important/main ideas
•    Summarizing
•    Synthesizing
•    Monitoring comprehension
•    Evaluating

conclusion:
 

Reading is an interconnected interaction with the text.

There are 5 stages in the process of reading:
1. Prereading (which includes a goal to read and predict the way the story is read)
2. Reading
3. Respond
4. Exploring
5. Apply

Strategies in reading:
• Predict the storyline
• Visualization
• Asking
• conclusions
• Finding the main idea
• Pendalami understanding
• Evaluate

LISTENING

By Jack C.Richards in his journal, he said that there are two different specifications, namely:
1. listening as comprehension
2. listening as acquisition

Listening as Comprehension
Listening as comprehension is the traditional way of thinking about the nature of listening. Indeed, in most methodology manuals listening and listening comprehension are synonymous. This view of listening is based on the assumption that the main function of listening in second language learning is to facilitate understanding of spoken discourse. We will examine this view of listening in some detail before considering a complementary view of listening – listening as acquisition. This latter view of listening considers how listening can provide input that triggers the further development of second-language proficiency.

Listening as Acquisition
Our discussion so far has dealt with one perspective on listening, namely, listening as comprehension. Everything we have discussed has been based on the assumption that the role of listening in a language program is to help develop learners’ abilities to understand things they listen to.This approach to teaching of listening is based on the following assumptions:
•    Listening serves the goal of extracting meaning from messages.
•    To do this, learners have to be taught how to use both bottom-up and top-down processes to
      understand messages.
•    The language of utterances – the precise words, syntax, and expressions – used by speakers are
     temporary carriers of meaning. Once meaning is identified, there is no further need to attend to the
     form of messages unless problems in understanding occurred.
•    Teaching listening strategies can help make learners more effective listeners.

Listening Strategies
Successful listening can also be looked at in terms of the strategies the listener uses when listening. Does the learner focus mainly on the content of a text, or does he or she also consider how to listen? A focus on how to listen raises the issues of listening strategies. Strategies can be thought of as the ways in which a learner approaches and manages a task, and listeners can be taught effective ways of approaching and managing their listening.These activities seek to involve listeners actively in the process of listening. Buck (2001:104) identifies two kinds of strategies in listening:
1.  Cognitive strategies: Mental activities related to comprehending and storing input in working
      memory or long-term memory for later retrieval
•    Comprehension processes: Associated with the processing of linguistic and nonlinguistic input
•    Storing and memory processes: Associated with the storing of linguistic and nonlinguistic input in working memory or long-term memory
•    Using and retrieval processes: Associated with accessing memory, to be readied for output
2.   Metacognitive strategies: Those conscious or unconscious mental activities that perform an
      executive function in the management of cognitive strategies
•    Assessing the situation: Taking stock of conditions surrounding a language task by assessing one’s own knowledge, one’s available internal and external resources, and the constraints of the situation before engaging in a task
•    Monitoring: Determining the effectiveness of one’s own or another’s performance while engaged in a task
•    Self-evaluating: Determining the effectiveness of one’s own or another’s performance after engaging in the activity
•    Self-testing: Testing oneself to determine the effectiveness of one’s own language use or the lack thereof
http://www.professorjackrichards.com/wp-content/uploads/teaching-listening-and-speaking-from-theory-to-practice.pdf

conclusion
by Jack C.Richards in his journal, there are 2 views
of listening, namely:
1.listening as comprehension
that is the simplest way of thinking about listening.
2.listening as acquisition  
There are several assumptions in lsitening as acquisition:
   -the purpose of listening is to understand the message that is heard
  - Learn the exact words that convey the speaker so it will pop up a message.
  -strategy in listening may help to lebeih effective listener.  

There are two strategies that have been suggested buck, namely:
1.strategi cognitive process consists of understanding, storing and memory processes,
and the use and retrieval processes)
2.startegi metacognitive (consisting of assessing the situation, monitoring,
evacuation, and testing).

 

SPEAKING

according to Marriam Bashir ,Muhammad Azeem  dan Dr. Ashiq Hussain Dogar  in his journal,Speaking is productive skill in the oral mode. It is like the other skills, is more complicated than it seems at first and involves more than just pronouncing words.
Listening Situations
There are three kinds of speaking situations in which we find ourselves:
1. Interactive
2. Partially Interactive
3. Non-Interactive

Interactive speaking situations include face-to-face conversations and telephone calls, in which we are alternately listening and speaking, and in which we have a chance to ask for clarification, repetition, or slower speech from our conversation partner. Some speaking situations are partially interactive, such as when giving a speech to a live audience, where the convention is that the audience does not interrupt the speech. The speaker nevertheless can see the audience and judge from the expressions on their faces and body language whether or not he or she is being understood.
Some few speaking situations may be totally non-interactive, such as when recording a speech for a radio broadcast.

Teaching Speaking
Many language learners regard speaking ability as the measure of knowing a language. These learners define fluency as the ability to converse with others, much more than the ability to read, write, or comprehend oral language. They regard speaking as the most important skill they can acquire, and they assess their progress in terms of their accomplishments in spoken communication.
Language learners need to recognize that speaking involves three areas of knowledge: 
• Mechanics (pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary): Using the right words in the right order with the correct pronunciation
• Functions (transaction and interaction): Knowing when clarity of message is essential (transaction/information exchange) and when precise understanding is not required (interaction/relationship building)
• Social and cultural rules and norms (turn-taking, rate of speech, length of pauses between speakers, relative roles of participants): Understanding how to take into account who is speaking to whom. in what circumstances, about what, and for what reason. In the communicative model of language teaching, instructors help their students develop
this body of knowledge by providing authentic practice that prepares students for real-life communication situations. They help their students develop the ability to produce grammatically correct, logically connected sentences that are appropriate to specific contexts, and to do so using acceptable (that is, comprehensible) pronunciation.
http://www.bjournal.co.uk/paper/bjass_2_1/bjass_02_01_04.pdf

conclusion:
 of some expert opinions about speaking, I concluded speaking is a skill in oral form in speaking of this, we are trained to learn how to oral pronunciation is good and right and put the words appropriate.

there are some situations speak, namely:
1. interactive (eg, such as talking directly or face to face where the speaker can take turns listening and speaking.)
2. Partially Interactive (eg, such as speech)
3. non-interactive (eg, such as broadcast news on radio)

in speaking, there are several areas, namely:
1. Mechanics (in view of the pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary)
2. Functions (in view of the transaction and interaction)
3. Social and cultural rules and norms(in view of speed talk and how long timescales speaker)

overall conclusions:
Reading, speaking, writing, and listening are several techniques to study the English language in general, which are often used in everyday life. This technique has the basics in practice. Ranging from vocabulary to comprehension. So before we learn the English language is useful to know the basics of the application so that it can help us in practice.

 

Stative Verb

09 July Add Comment



stative verb is one that describes a state of being, in contrast to a dynamic verb which describes an action. The difference can be categorized by saying that stative verbs are static or unchanging throughout their entire duration, whereas dynamic verbs describe a process that changes over time. Many languages distinguish between these two types in terms of how they can be used grammatically.

Difference from dynamic

The same verb may act as stative or dynamic. An English phrase like "he plays the piano" may be either stative or dynamic, according to context.
Some languages use the same verbs for dynamic and stative situations, while other use different (but often etymologically related) verbs with some kind of qualifiers to distinguish between the usages. A stative verb is often intransitive, while a corresponding one would be transitive. Compare, for example, modern English with modern Swedish and German.

Swedish English German
dynamic stative dynamic stative dynamic stative
lägga ligga lay
(someone/something down)
lie legen liegen
sätta sitta set
(someone/something)
sit (sich) setzen sitzen
ställa stå stand
(someone/something
in an upright position)
stand stellen stehen
bränna brinna burn
(someone/something)
burn
(i.e. be on fire)
verbrennen brennen


Some languages even make distinction when dealing with stative and dynamic verbs in sentences. In German, for instance, several prepositions (Wechselpräpositionen - "changing prepositions") take different noun cases when accompany stative and dynamic verbs. For stative verbs, dative case is taken, whereas the accusative case is taken by the preposition when describing a dynamic verb. For example:
  • Ich lege den Stift auf den Tisch. (I lay the pen on(to) the table.) - Den here is masculine definite article in accusative case. [lege - infinitive: legen]
BUT
  • Der Stift liegt auf dem Tisch. (The pen lies on the table.) - Dem here is masculine definite article in dative case. [liegt - infinitive: liegen]
The same scheme also applies in stative and dynamic verbs in general, i.e. when the verb is stative (albeit the dynamic counterpart is non-existent), the preposition will always take dative, and vice versa.
  • Ich bin in der Schule. (I am at school. - literally I am in the school.) - Der here is feminine definite article in dative case, since the verb bin (infinitive: sein - to be) is a stative verb.
  • Ich gehe in die Schule. (I go to school. - literally I go in the school.) - Die here is feminine definite article in accusative case, since the verb gehe (infinitive: gehen - to go) is a dynamic verb.
BUT
Ich gehe zur Schule. [zur = zu + der] (I go to school. - literally I go to the school.) - Der here is feminine definite article in dative case. Note that zu is not a Wechselpräposition and always takes dative case.
  • Wo bist du? - Im Kino. [im = in + dem] (Where are you? - In the cinema.) - Dem here is neuter definite article in dative case. [bist - infinitive: sein]
  • Wohin gehst du? - Ins Kino. [ins = in + das] (Where are you going? - To the cinema.) - Das here is neuter definite article in accusative case. [gehst - infinitive: gehen]
Additionally, in English and many other languages, stative and dynamic verbs differ in whether or not they can use the progressive aspect. Dynamic verbs such as "go" can be used in the progressive (I am going to school) whereas stative verbs such as "know" cannot (*I am knowing the answer). In other languages statives can be used in the progressive as well: in Korean, for example, the sentence 미나가 인호를 사랑하고있다 (Mina is loving Inho) is perfectly valid.

In some languages stative and dynamic verbs will use entirely different morphological markers on the verbs themselves. For example, in the Mantauran dialect of Rukai, an indigenous language of Taiwan, the two types of verbs take different prefixes in their finite forms, with dynamic verbs taking o- and stative verbs taking ma-. Thus, the dynamic verb "jump" is o-coroko in the active voice, while the stative verb "love" is ma-ðalamə. This sort of marking is characteristic of other Formosan languages as well.

Difference from inchoative

In English, a verb that expresses a state can also express the entrance into a state. This is called inchoative aspect. The simple past is sometimes inchoative. For example, the present-tense verb in the sentence "He understands his friend" is stative, while the past-tense verb in the sentence "Suddenly he understood what she said" is inchoative, because it means "He began to understand". On the other hand, the past-tense verb in "At one time, he understood her" is stative.
Likewise, in Ancient Greek, a verb whose imperfect expresses a state (e.g., ebasíleuon "I was king") may use the aorist to express entrance into the state (e.g., ebasíleusa "I became king"). But the aorist can also simply express the state as a whole, with no focus on the beginning of the state (eíkosi étē ebasíleusa "I ruled for twenty years").

Formal definitions

In some theories of formal semantics, including David Dowty's, stative verbs have a logical form that is the lambda expression
\lambda (x): \ [\operatorname{STATE} \ x]
Apart from Dowty, Z. Vendler and C. S. Smith have also written influential work on aspectual classification of verbs.

English

Dowty's analysis

Dowty gives some tests to decide whether an English verb is stative. They are as follows:
  1. Statives do not occur in the progressive:
    • John is running. (non-stative)
    • *John is knowing the answer.
  2. They cannot be complements of "force":
    • I forced John to run.
    • *I forced John to know the answer.
  3. They do not occur as imperatives, except when used in an inchoative manner.
    • Run!
    • *Know the answer!
    • Know thyself! (inchoative, not stative; archaic)
  4. They cannot appear in the pseudo-cleft construction:
    • What John did was run.
    • *What John did was know the answer 

Categories

Stative verbs are often divided into sub-categories, based on their semantics or syntax.

Semantic divisions mainly involve verbs that express someone's state of mind, or something's properties (of course, things can also be expressed via other language mechanisms as well, particularly adjectives). The precise categories vary by linguist. Huddleston and Pullum, for example, divide stative verbs into the following semantic categories: verbs of perception and sensation (see, hear), verbs of hurting (ache, itch), stance verbs (stand, sit), and verbs of cognition, emotion, and sensation (believe, regret). Novakov, meanwhile, uses the slightly different categories: verbs denoting sensations (feel, hear), verbs denoting reasoning and mental attitude (believe, understand), verbs denoting positions/stance (lie, surround), and verbs denoting relations (resemble, contain).

Syntactic divisions involve the types of clause structures a verb may be used in ("*" indicates ungrammatical sentences):

John believes that Fido is a dog.
*John believes on Fido barking.
John believes Fido to bark.

*Joan depends that Fido is a dog.
Joan depends on Fido barking.
*Joan depends Fido to bark.

Jim loathes that Fido is a dog.
*Jim loathes on Fido barking.
*Jim loathes Fido to bark.

Deret Aritmetika

11 June Add Comment



Deret hitung atau deret aritmatika dalam bidang matematika adalah urutan bilangan di mana bilangan berikutnya merupakan penambahan bilangan sebelumnya dengan suatu bilangan beda tertentu. Contohnya adalah 3,5,7,9,11,13, ..... Deret aritmatika ini dapat dinyatakan dengan rumus sebagai berikut:
a, a+b, a+2b, a+ 3b, ...
Dalam hal ini suku ke-n:
\ a_n = a + (n - 1)b,
Jumlah semua suku:
 S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a + a_n)=\frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)b].

Pembuktian

Suku ke-n
a_1 = a
a_2 = a+b
a_3 = a+2b
....
a_n = a+(n-1)b
jadi jumlah suku ke-n adalah a_n = a+(n-1)b
Jumlah suku ke-n
s_n = a + a+b + a+2b + .... + a+(n-1)b .... (1)
s_n = a+(n-1)b + a+(n-2)b + a + (n-3)b + .... + a+2b + a+b + a ... (2) dibalik dengan cara cermin
persamaan (1) ditambah (2) menjadi:
s_n + s_n = 2a+(n-1)b + 2a+(n-1)b + .... + 2a+(n-1)b
karena 2a+(n-1)b sama banyaknya menjadi jumlah n
2 s_n = n [2a+(n-1)b]
s_n = \frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)b]

Rumus umum



a_n = a+(n-1)b

s_n = \frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)b]
b = a_{n}-a_{n-1}
u_t = \frac{a+{a_n}}{2}
n_b = n+(n-1)x
b_b = \frac{b}{x+1}

Teknik dan Metode Detektif

11 June Add Comment


Beberapa keahlian yang dibutuhkan oleh detektif:

  • Kemampuan daya ingat, meskipun dengan pandangan sekilas. Ini antara lain berguna ketika kita menemui kasus tabrak lari, dan nomor polisi kendaraan menjadi fakta penting. Selain itu juga disertai kemampuan memanggil kembali ingatan yang lama.
  • Kejelian dan cermat terhadap hal-hal detil. Sherlock Holmes adalah 'ahli' dalam detil dan kecermatan-dengan catatan, jika Holmes itu sosok yang nyata. Dalam setiap memecahkan masalah, Sherlock Holmes selalu melakukan observasi-pengamatan langsung di lapangan.
  • Kemampuan meng-interogasi. Semakin tinggi kemampuan interogasi yang dimiliki seseorang, ia akan mudah mengorek fakta, 'fakta' palsu, atau keterangan dari seseorang-tanpa orang itu menyadarinya. Kemampuan ini juga beriringan dengan keahlian menggunakan teknik pembuktian terbalik dalam menginterogasi seseorang. "Pandai-pandailah memancing pertanyaan dengan fakta yang salah, maka ia akan memberikan fakta sebenarnya". Memang tidak selalu berhasil, tapi bisa dicoba.
  • Kemampuan bernegosiasi. Ini masih terkait dengan kemampuan meng-interogasi. Kemampuan bernegosiasi sangat penting, dalam praktik-praktik di lapangan, dimana dibutuhkan keberanian menembus kebekuan seseorang, menghadapi orang keras kepala, dan sebagainya.
  • Pengetahuan terhadap hukum perundang-undangan yang berlaku.
  • Kemampuan menganalisis. Ini penting untuk menguji kebenaran fakta-baik fakta benda atau fakta lisan. Detektif yang baik tidak pernah berangkat dari titik motif; selalu harus dari fakta-fakta. Sherlock Holmes mengajari kita bagaimana metode ilmiah (scientific method, metode eliminasi atau eksklusi, mempersempit pencarian, dan mempermudah memecahkan masalah). Memang membingungkan, apakah Holmes itu 'ilmuwan yang nyasar jadi detektif', ataukah 'detektif dengan sambilan ilmuwan'? Dalam suatu kisahnya, Holmes menulis artikel tentang tanaman atau obat- obatan di sebuah jurnal. Dengan pikiran yang sangat logis, Holmes bisa disebut seorang matematikawan. Dengan percobaan-percobaannya di laboratorium, Holmes juga bisa disebut fisikawan atau kimiawan. Ada beberapa penemuannya yang dipakai oleh kepolisian Scotland Yard.
  • Metode eliminasi atau eksklusi, maksudnya dengan menyingkirkan hal-hal yang sudah pasti mustahil-setelah diuji dengan fakta dan observasi. Untuk meningkatkan kemampuan analisa, ada banyak hal yang harus dipelajari-tidak hanya metode deduksi, induksi, atau kombinasi keduanya. Ada pula metode analisa dengan Analisa Cartesian dan sebagainya. Hal-hal tersebut bisa dipelajari dari internet atau buku-buku yang ada.
Kemampuan penting lainnya, diantaranya teknik penyamaran, teknik mengikuti / membuntuti seseorang, teknik melacak / tracking, maupun pengetahuan forensik sederhana dalam kasus kriminal. Contoh pengetahuan forensik sederhana; seseorang yang ditemukan meninggal dengan leher membiru, dipastikan meninggal kehabisan nafas. Kemudian Teknik Cryptograph dan code breaker, contoh code breaker sederhana: Caesar Chiper atau sandi Caesar dalam kriptografi sandi Caesar adalah satu teknik enkripsi paling sederhana dan paling terkenal, sandi ini termasuk sandi substitusi dimana pada huruf teks terang (plain text) digantikan oleh huruf lain yang memiliki selisih posisi tertentu dalam alfabet. Misalnya, jika menggunakan geseran 3, W akan menjadi Z, I menjadi L, dan K menjadi N sehingga teks terang "wiki" akan menjadi "ZLNL" pada teks tersandi. Nama Caesar diambil dari Julius Caesar, jenderal, konsul, dan diktator Romawi yang menggunakan sandi ini untuk berkomunikasi dengan para panglimanya.

Langkah enkripsi oleh sandi Caesar sering dijadikan bagian dari penyandian yang lebih rumit, seperti sandi Vigenère, dan masih memiliki aplikasi modern pada sistem ROT13. Pada saat ini, seperti halnya sandi substitusi alfabet tunggal lainnya, sandi Caesar dapat dengan mudah dipecahkan dan praktis tidak memberikan kerahasiaan bagi pemakainya.

Cara kerja sandi ini dapat diilustrasikan dengan membariskan dua set alfabet; alfabet sandi disusun dengan cara menggeser alfabet biasa ke kanan atau ke kiri dengan angka tertentu (angka ini disebut kunci.) Misalnya sandi Caesar dengan kunci 3, adalah sebagai berikut:

Alfabet Biasa: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Alfabet Sandi: DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC

Untuk menyandikan sebuah pesan, cukup mencari setiap huruf yang hendak disandikan di alfabet biasa, lalu tuliskan huruf yang sesuai pada alfabet sandi. Untuk memecahkan sandi tersebut gunakan cara sebaliknya. Contoh penyandian sebuah pesan adalah sebagai berikut.

teks terang: kirim pasukan ke sayap kiri
teks tersandi: NLULP SDVXNDQ NH VDBDS NLUL

Ada juga Anagram, Anagram adalah salah satu jenis permainan kata, di mana huruf-huruf di kata awal biasa diacak untuk membentuk kata lain atau sebuah kalimat. Tapi bisa juga dijadikan sebuah kode rahasia dengan cara mengacak kata-kata yang ada tanpa menambah dan mengurangi nya.
Contoh: TOM Marvolo Riddle bisa berubah menjadi IM Lord Voldemort (dalam film harry potter)
Masih banyak lagi contoh kode-kode yang lainnya, kita pun bisa membuat kode sendiri dengan cara kita, tinggal pandai-pandai kita saja dalam memahami sandi dan kode, sehingga bisa tercipta sebuah kode baru dengan metode pemecahan yang lebih rumit, lebih sulit dan lebih menarik . Seperti contoh kasus di bawah ini

Teori deduktif ala Sherlock Holmes

Pemakaian teori yang dilakukan Sherlock Holmes di setiap kisahnya sangat baik diterapkan di dunia nyata. 

Penalaran induktif adalah penalaran yang mengambil contoh-contoh khusus yang khusus untuk kemudian diambil kesimpulan yang lebih umum. Penalaran ini memudahkan untuk memetakan suatu masalah sehingga dapat dipakai dalam masalah lain yang serupa. Catatan cara penalaran induktif ini bekerja adalah, meski premis-premis yang diangkat benar dan cara penarikan kesimpulannya sah, kesimpulannya belum tentu benar. Tapi kesimpulan tersebut memiliki kesempatan untuk benar.

Contoh penalaran induktif adalah:

Domba punya mata. Kerbau punya mata. Rusa punya mata.

Kesimpulan: setiap hewan punya mata.


Penalaran induktif membutuhkan banyak sampel untuk mempertinggi tingkat ketelitian premis yang diangkat. Untuk itu penalaran induktif erat dengan pengumpulan data dan statistik.

Sedangkan penalaran deduktif adalah menarik kesimpulan khusus dari premis yang lebih umum.
Jika premis benar dan cara penarikan kesimpulannya sah, maka dapat dipastikan hasil kesimpulannya benar. Jika penalaran induktif erat kaitannya dengan statistika, maka penalaran deduktif erat dengan matematika khususnya matematika logika dan teori himpunan dan jumlah.

Contoh penalaran deduktif adalah:

Semua hewan punya mata. Ayam termasuk hewan.

Kesimpulan: Ayam punya mata.


Untuk penerapan yang dilakukan Sir Arthur Conan Doyle pada Sherlock Holmes seperti pada ilustrasi berikut:

Sherlock Holmes bertemu dengan kliennya yang memintanya untuk menyelidiki sebuah kasus. Holmes dapat mengatakan siapa orang yang ada dihadapannya hanya dengan melihat penampilan fisiknya saja. Holmes dapat mengetahui profesi dan masa lalu kliennya dengan melihat guratan-guratan di tangan kliennya, sepatu yang dikenakannya, atau dari abu rokok, dsb.

Untuk dapat melakukan teknik ini, dibutuhkan pengetahuan yang sangat luas, informasi yang up-to-date, karena setiap orang memiliki karakteristik dan latar belakang yang berbeda. Maka dari itu sebaiknya perbanyak pula membaca berita atau informasi terbaru melalui media berita internet, koran, dsb.

Social Engineering ala Kevin Mitnick

Teknik ini dipopulerkan oleh Kevin David Mitnick, seorang hacker legendaris yang sangat paham betul dengan sistem keamanan komputer dan jaringan yang dulu menjadi buronan FBI.
Kevin juga pernah merilis 2 buku tentang hacking yang melambungkan teknik Social Engineering ini.

Social Engineering (Rekayasa Sosial) adalah akuisisi informasi atau informasi rahasia / sensitif dengan cara menipu pemilik informasi tersebut. Social engineering mengkonsentrasikan diri pada rantai terlemah sistem jaringan komputer, yaitu manusia. 

- Social Engineering dengan melakukan hubungan telepon

Yang paling sering terjadi adalah metode ini. Dengan melakukan sedikit trik seorang attacker yang berpengalaman akan mampu membuat petugas yang menerima telepon mengucapkan username maupun passwordnya atau informasi lainnya yang dibutuhkan attacker.


Biasanya pegawai yang bertugas di garis depan seperti bagian informasi atau customer service yang akan dihubungi karena selain mereka memang dilatih untuk selalu bersikap ramah dan memberikan informasi kepada penelpon. Mereka akan selalu berusaha memberikan informasi yang diminta penelpon secepat mungkin agar bisa segera menerima penelpon berikutnya tanpa sempat memikirkan sesuatu yang dapat dilakukan oleh penelpon dengan informasi yang telah diberikannya. Dari mereka biasanya attacker mendapatkan informasi yang diinginkannya dengan mudah.

Bisa juga dengan langsung menelpon ke admin. Misalnya setelah seorang attacker mempelajari suatu perusahaan yang menjadi sasarannya, dia akan menelpon ke admin dengan mengaku sebagai pegawai yang ada di perusahaan tersebut. Karena dia telah mempelajari, bisa saja dia mengaku sebagai pegawai A yang menempati ruang kantor sebelah B di urutan meja ke X. Setelah merasa admin bisa diperdaya, dia akan mengatakan, "Buku catatan kecil saya yang berisikan catatan password tertinggal di meja sehingga saya tidak bisa menyelesaikan pekerjaan saya dari rumah. Bisakah Anda mengambilkan untuk saya? "Seorang admin tentunya terlalu sibuk untuk dapat mengambilkan buku catatan seseorang, dan karena dia telah merasa yakin penelpon adalah pekerja di situ, dia cukup membuka database dan memberitahukan password ke penelpon ..

- Dumpster Diving

Dumpster diving atau juga disebut mencemari adalah metode populer lainnya yaitu attacker mengumpulkan informasi dengan memeriksa sampah perusahaan sasaran .. Buku telepon akan memberikan petunjuk nama dan nomor orang-orang yang bisa dihubungi, kalender menunjukkan pekerja mana saja yang akan bertugas keluar kota pada saat tertentu , catatan kerja harian bisa dipelajari untuk dicari kelemahannya, dsb.

- Koneksi Internet

Ketika seorang karyawan sedang melakukan koneksi internet, tiba-tiba sebuah pop-up window keluar dan mengatakan bahwa koneksinya terputus dan untuk itu dia harus kembali menuliskan username dan passwordnya. Tanpa curiga pekerja tadi akan melakukannya dan semudah itu attacker mendapatkan informasi.

Sebuah kesalahan yang sering dilakukan adalah orang cenderung untuk menggunakan password yang sama untuk berbagai layanan yang dimilikinya, misalnya untuk e-mail, messenger, ATM, dsb. Pengiriman e-mail juga sering dilakukan karena e-mail bisa membawa berbagai virus dan trojan. 

Pada intinya dengan bekal pengetahuan dan pemahaman tentang keamanan jaringan yang kurang, manusia sebagai user bisa melakukan berbagai tindakan yang membahayakan keamanan jaringan dan secara tidak langsung membantu attacker untuk menyusup ke dalamnya. 

- Pendekatan Psikologi

Selain cara-cara di atas, seorang attacker bisa menggunakan langkah-langkah psikologis untuk mendapatkan informasi, yaitu dengan mengadakan sebuah ikatan emosional dalam tujuan mendapatkan kepercayaan. Lambat tapi pasti, begitu memperoleh kepercayaan setiap rahasia pun akan berada di tangannya.

Point-point penting dalam kasus pembunuhan- Mencari senjata yang digunakan pelaku.
- Mengecek alibi tiap-tiap orang yang berkaitan, >>> si pelaku memakai panggung belakang supaya tak ada kesempatan dirinya dinyatakan sebagai pembunuh, biasanya orang yang alibinya paling lemah, atau tak punya alibilah pelakunya, tapi hati-hati terhadap skenario pelaku yang kadang justru menjebak orang lain.
- Memeriksa tempat kejadian, periksa dengan seksama seluruh TKP, meskipun terhadap hal yang dianggap orang tak penting, dan jangan lupa memeriksa tempat sampah yang berada pada jangkauan TKP
- Melacak ciri-ciri pelaku, hati-hati terhadap penyamaran identitas pelaku, contoh : mungkin saja pelaku membuat dirinya seolah-olah laki-laki padahal dia perempuan (menggaraukan suara di telpon misalnya).
