Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) with Nessus. By Paul Asadoorian on May 24th, 2010. You may know the folks over at MITRE for their work on the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures). Standards such as CVE help us track and document thousands of vulnerabilities released each year. Along the same lines, a new project from MITRE called CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) provides the public with a standard method to enumerate software: CPE is a structured naming scheme for information technology systems, platforms, and packages.
In March, 1832, the Franklin Railroad was chartered by the Pennsylvania Legislature, and on January 16, 1837 by the Legislature of Maryland. The road was built from Chambersburg to Greencastle, Pennsylvania in 1837, and to Hagerstown, Maryland in 1841.
The First Transcontinental Railroad was a 1,912-mile continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay. The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants. Construction was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company issued mortgage bonds.
