How to perform a full shutdown within Windows 10

By default, Windows 10 does not perform a full shutdown when the normal power menu option is used.  The Fast Startup Mode uses the hibernation file to restore a previously saved image of the Windows kernel and all necessary drivers for installed devices.

To modify the default, access Power Options and then select “Choose what the power buttons do.”  A shortcut without modifying the default is to hold the Shift key down when selecting the Shut Down menu option.

DBShield

DBShield is a Database Firewall written in Go that has protection for MySQL/MariaDB, Oracle and PostgreSQL databases. It works in a proxy fashion inspecting traffic and dropping abnormal queries after a learning period to populate the internal database with regular queries.

Learning mode lets any query pass but it records information about it (pattern, username, time and source) into the internal database.

After collecting enough patterns we can run DBShield in protect mode. Protect mode can distinguish abnormal query pattern, user and source and take action based on configurations.
