detection rate cannot be 100% but with a combined effect of heuristics provided in the new software, the malware that is usually faced by common users can be well detected and protected from. The main concern rises in case of zero-day infections and specifically targeted attacks. These make the security professionals “anti-antivirus”. But installing patches and regularly updating the antivirus can help to provide a certain level of protection in these cases as well. 3. Would money be better spent
have described seeing some strange behaviors such as high levels of traffic from many hosts that are causing system outages. The web servers of the college have been shutting down frequently by this traffic, it must be from a hacker group trying to attack the school with malicious software. I will review the network traffic from the college’s intrusion detection system and use an intrusion prevention system to block off these threats from the hackers. The first odd network behavior that was reported
pull off an attack on a similar scale as Stuxnet that could disrupt industrial control systems. Due to the sophisticated nature of the attack, which used four separate zero-day vulnerabilities, and stolen digital certificates to craft and disguise a complex piece of malware that targeted Siemens SIMATIC Step 7 PLCs, Stuxnet was assumed to be the work of a nation-state. Surely a nation-state might have at its disposal the time and money needed to discover, or otherwise acquire these zero-day vulnerabilities
Ground Zero, Sacred Territory This is a comparison paper on modern day sacred secular places versus mythological secular places in history. This report will summarize what elements mythical secular sites have in common. The report will explain how Ground Zero qualifies as a modern day secular site. The significance and functions of the twin towers before the attack will be addressed. Ground zero will be compared with the Areca Tree, noting differences in meaning, function, and common elements.
within only blocks away from ground zero itself. This is an extremely offensive and distasteful decision and should not be allowed for three main reasons: it is a direct attempt to aggravate the American public, compromise can be the solution and a way to elude future violent situations, and just because these individuals have the right, that doesn’t mean that they should feel compelled to go on with construction. Building an Islamic mosque so close to ground zero is a direct, intentional provocation
December 2017 Textual Analysis of “Ground Zero” On September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack was imposed on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Two planes were hijacked, and as a result both crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center. Thousands of lives were lost that day, as well as an entire Nation’s soul. We now remember the tragedy of what happened on September eleventh by the emptiness created by Ground Zero. Ground Zero is the location at where the twin towers
usually how most movies, books and other media depict it. The graphic adaptation of “Zero Hour” by Ray Bradbury, and an excerpt from The War Of The World's, both about alien invasions and we found that they had some similarities and differences on how life on Earth would occur during an alien invasion. Both authors portray life on Earth during an alien invasion as unexpected and hectic. However, in Ray Bradbury’s “Zero Hour”, he showed that aliens would manipulate children and take the humans by shock
apparent when a company is infected with a Zero-Day Exploit. Zero-Day Exploit is an vulnerability cause by the software makers haste in bringing software to market without fully testing for defects; as a result leaving the software expose to liability without a fix. According to Rouse (2010) zero-day exploit is one that takes advantage of a security vulnerability on the same day that the vulnerability becomes generally known (Rouse, 2010, para. 1). Zero-day exploits have grown into a new technology
into it and take control over it. STEP7 software is essential to program the control system and for STUXNET to do its job. Since most of these computers are non-networked, STUXNET would first try to spread to other computers on the LAN through a zero-day vulnerability. According to Kaspersky, The LNK [a file shortcut in Microsoft Windows] vulnerability is used to spread via USB sticks. The shared print-spooler vulnerability is used to spread in networks with shared printers, which is extremely common
collect information regarding intruder or attacker in the system. Honeypot is considered as one of the security technique used in the computer to trap the attacker. 2. What is “blackholling”? Blackholling is used to stop the denial of attacks and malware based attacks. It is a technique used by the internet service providers to block the data coming from certain ip addresses. This is technique can be also used in personal networks. 3. What is “air-gap security”? It is a network security measure used
In the following report I will discuss the role of network management and how the network manager contributes to the network security of an organisation. Network security will be discussed in full to inform on how big of an impact network attacks can have on an organisation. Once the impact of network security has been covered I will go through all possible threats that can harm an organisation and the steps network managers should go through to secure a network to the best of their ability. The
important landmark in history. the point of the Pentagon was to hire lots of people to help WWII with defense, so the Americans could win the war. There are a lot of events the Pentagon commemorates. One event is the attack on the twin towers on 9/11/01. Another event was the attack on the Pentagon its self on 9/11/01 too. This landmark honors all the soldiers in WWII and the people who built it. the Architect who designed the building name was G. Edwin Bergstrom. Because of all the roads around
“Where were you when the world stopped turning?” (Source N). Millions of people all woke up on that clear September morning just planning to go about their days. Fathers kissed their wives and kids, children went off to school, mothers ran errands, children were born, the world turned just like it did every day. That is until 8:45 am on September 11, 2001. The North World Trade Center building was struck by a Boeing 767, instantly killing everyone on board. Even though it was tragic and first responders
over the radio on the flight back, and then as soon as he got out of his plane. Which this started the controversy between Lanphier and Barber. One that continues till this day. This controversy destroyed the friendship between the two men. The pilots of the mission claim to have shot down three bombers and six zero’s that day. Though all of the zero’s return to base according to Japanese records, and only two bombers were actually a part of the flight. So officially though Barber was given credit
result of this 13 day battle between the top two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, could have impacted the world in such catastrophic ways, resulting in a zero sum game. This particular game is defined by one side winning by firing their weapons first and eliminating the opponent. However, in the end the two powers came to a mutual understanding of contentment with both sides removing their nuclear weapons and respecting each other’s privacy; this making it a non-zero sum game. In
greatest asset. It was dominant as it was versatile. Unlike the tank, boat or even the foot soldier the planes can serve in all areas of one countries military, land, sea and of course the air. They could fight where ever needed. Not only did they attack in dog fights or bombing raids they could go for a surveillance or reconnaissance to assist their forces. They destroyed many enemies industrial plants and provided many ground combat support. In the years WW2 was being fought plane designs progressed
The National Security Agency, known as the NSA, is a government organization that was founded in 1952. They started spying on US citizens after the September 11 attacks, under President Bush, to try to prevent more attacks. Now, the NSA is collecting metadata, the data that is about data, and actual data, so that they can try to stop terrorists and other criminals (“Mass”). Although the NSA is trying to stop the criminals and terrorists, most of the time, they are unsuccessful. The NSA is fundamentally
These two literary works, 40 Hours in Hell by Katherine Finkelstein and Third World by Dexter Filkins, both present diverse perspectives on what occurred during the World Trade Center attack. Although both texts approach the coverage of this attack differently, as reporters, they both base their news using normative theory. Normative theory is the consideration of what is morally correct or incorrect. In relation to normative theory is the Social Responsibility Theory. This theory deals with how
Man's inhumanity to man is a reality in society today and in the theme of Holes. Holes is about a boy named Stanley who is sent to a correctional camp for boys called Camp Green Lake. The boys are required to dig one five-by-five-foot hole per day in the 90 degree weather in order to help build their characters. In doing this, Stanley discovers that they aren't just digging for character. They are digging to uncover something for the warden: a treasure. In his attempt to uncover this treasure
by United States Air force in 2006 to describe the complex cyber-attacks against specific target over a long period of time (Bejtlich, 2010). It was employed by nation states to penetrate other nation’s network for security secrets and other defense data, it is unlike the previous cyber-attacks that went after credit card and other personal identify information. APTs employ far more sophisticated tactics than other types of attacks. They combine advanced technology with traditional intelligence gathering
