Probe (formerly known as The Probe Team and The Probe Team Documentaries) is a Philippine public affairs program being aired on ABS-CBN and on its sister cable channel, the ANC. It is hosted by Cheche Lazaro and is produced by Probe Productions Inc., under a joint co-production agreement with ABS-CBN.
A probe is characterized by unusual attempts to gain access to a system or to discover information about the system. One example is an attempt to log in to an unused account. Probing is the electronic equivalent of testing doorknobs to find an unlocked door for easy entry. Probes are sometimes followed by a more serious security event, but they are often the result of curiosity or confusion. (From http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/tocencyc.html#Probe)
A type of hacking attempt characterized by repetitious, sequential access attempts. For example, a hacker might try to probe a series of ports in search of one that is open, or one might probe a range of IP addresses in search of a responsive computer.

Proxy Based Estimating, is the estimation method introduced by Watts Humphrey (of the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University) as part of the Personal Software Process (a discipline that helps individual software engineers monitor, test, and improve their own work). PROBE is based on the idea that if an engineer is building a component similar to one he built previously, then it will take about the same effort as it did in the past.
Any effort to gather information about a machine or its users for the apparent purpose of gaining unauthorized access to the system at a later date.
a device used to gather information from remote, hazardous or otherwise difficult to reach locations
an effort to gather information about a computer or its users for the purpose of gaining unauthorized access later
A thermocouple composed of two wires of dissimilar metals joined together at one end. When this junction is heated, a millivolt signal is generated. The word “probe” is used interchangeably throughout this manual. It can also be a thermistor/RTD device that does not output electricity but changes the grounding potential or current/voltage to an amplified meter with temperature.

Change Manager uses a private protocol between the Sun Management Center server and agent to perform particular management operations. This protocol relies on a Sun Management Center "probe connection," which provides a data stream between server and agent. The probe mechanism relies on standard Sun Management Center authentication to ensure proper access to the Change Manager components on the agent. The agent must be properly configured and must be in the appropriate server context before a probe connection can be established.
