A Note On Computer Science And Engineering

In our technologically advanced society,the number of cyber-attacks continue to grow every day. According to AV-Test there is more than 395,000 new malicious are now registered every single day, and the total amount of malware attacks in circulation is around 425,000,000 marks. (Price, D 2015). Cyber attacks are not only about stealing data or making system offline, but also there can be real world damage too. An attacker can easily hack the details of a government system and can be control it from anywhere in the world. In 2015, there are more than 110,000 Facebook users have fallen victim to a Trojan in just two days. Cyber security experts identified that the malware belongs to a virus group belonging to the ‘kilim family’. The attackers spammed Facebook timelines and Newsfeeds with malicious malware that spread pornographic images and videos. These threads worked by tagging an infected user’s friends in a Facebook post, which when opened, started to play a preview of a porn video.And at the end of that preview it asked them to download a Flash player in order to watch the rest of the vdeo. That fake download is actually the malware downloader. The malware uses a multi-layer redirection architecture, which uses the ow.ly URL shortener, Amazon web service and Box.com cloud storage. The malware comes under the form of a URL or website

Since the 1980 's, the growth of the technology sector has been exponential. The introduction of the personal computer (PC) was the true catalyst for the growth in popularity of computer technology. With this introduction also came the growth in popularity of being a computer scientist. The code used to write the software for these personal computers was brand new and easy to use. What made it easy to use was the fact that the computer code for the PC was very similar to the English language; whereas, previous computers used punch cards as a way to program them.. This change was revolutionary because it allowed anyone to learn how to program a computer. This, coupled with the major computer advancements occurring in the United States, such as the internet, created the idea that becoming a computer scientist almost guaranteed you a job. At the time, this was true. The idea still is mostly true, however, many computer science jobs, usually Information Technology (IT) and other entry level jobs that involve programming, have been moved overseas. This shift to outsourcing is not very widespread as some people might think, but it could become widespread with the increase in quality of life and job availability in other countries. The outsourcing, while currently not a major issue, does have very real consequences for the future. Such consequences include lack of job availability for college graduates in the United States and, as a result, an increase in unemployment. Another

A computer virus is a malware program that, when executed copies itself into other data files, computer programs, or the boot sector of the hard drive with 95% of viruses doing no more than that. (1)(2). A virus might attach itself to a program such as a word document program. Each time the word document program runs, the virus runs too and it has the chance to reproduce by attaching to other programs. (3) Nowadays, it is extremely important to be aware of viruses because they can cause very dangerous consequences such as identity theft and fraud. When people generally think about computer viruses, they normally think about an attack on a computer system, however, they may not be aware of how common computer viruses are. It can be beneficial to know a few of the different types of viruses, the kind of damage they can cause and methods to protect yourself from them. In this essay, we will be covering when computer viruses first made an appearance and contrasting this to how they are like now on social media. Also, we will be covering how they work and what can be done to prevent the growing risks of computer viruses on social media.

Computer Science and STEM advancements have molded the way sports have been studied. Using computers, mathematical analysis, and science technologies, analysts and scientists are able to study and figure out the perfect angles and projections that should be used when playing sports. Players benefit in multiple ways because of these studies. For example, computers can be used to find the perfect projection and angle that a baseball should be thrown to receive the maximum distance. Aroldis Chapman is a unique pitcher in American Baseball. He has broke Major League Baseball records, setting the highest fastball thrown as 105 mph. Although he is extremely athletically fit, he uses science and math to reach this high speed. Chapman steps closer

Having knowledge of computer science is helpful nowadays and it can be useful in almost everything. Because of computer science, websites are programmed to give search results so quickly; characters on a video game are able to move, tiny screen on a phone can allow someone to browse a web, or even shopping online: many people can feel confident their credit card number will not be stolen. Computer science in nowadays is the most important skill of the 21st century. Nevertheless, it is not widely taught. Many students do not know about computer science. In high school “too many of them are learning English, art history, or ethnic or gender studies, and not enough in technology” (Schulzke). With such a high job growing market and being one of the most important skill in the 21st century, computer science should be mandatory in high school.

I have many goals in mind for my life. I want to graduate university, possibly go to graduate school, and obtain a career in which I am happy and satisfied. Yes, I know this sounds very cliché as many people want to obtain this kind of life. I don’t mind obtaining a “normal” happy life as long as I am happy with it. I am familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and I want to make sure I fulfill my lower needs before I start trying to achieve my goals. I have never actually applied the GIOADA process to my decision making in the past. After reading the document that describes the GIOADA process, I will start applying this process to future decisions I make in life. Also, as I look back at some of the big decisions I made

A common carrier is a private company that sells or leases communication services and facilities to the public. Common carriers are profit-oriented, and their primary products are services for voice and data transmissions, both over traditional wired circuits as well as cellular services. Common carriers often supply a broad range of computer-based services, such as the manufacturing and marketing of specialized communication hardware and software. A common carrier that provides local telephone services (e.g., BellSouth) is commonly called a local exchange carrier (LEC), while one that provides long distance services (e.g., MCI) is

Computer engineering is a very extensive, challenging career. To become a computer engineer you need years of experience and college education. Many people think this career is easy and good paying, but is not that easy, excessive amount of knowledge is needed to become a top class engineer in this field, but that doesn’t mean it is an impossible task. One must understand that computer engineering is a challenge since before one begins studying it. With that kept in mind an undergraduate must know their qualifications, training, job duties and drawbacks, salary, hours, work calendar and employment in order to become a Computer Engineer.

By the year of 2016, investments in online security are expected to reach $86bn (Contu et al, 2012). Although this might seem a large sum of money, it is considered necessary since there is an increase in online risks from all over the world. Professional hackers develop malware on a global scale and on a 24/7 basis. Hackers have five objectives when spreading malware over the Internet: to infect/distribute, to steal, to persist, to control and for intelligence (Morris, 2010).

I think in this assignment I'll take a slightly general theme, and then a concrete technological progress. Since my future specialty is informatics, naturally I am interested in technological progress in this field. On the one hand, we can say that technological progress is itself computer science, with which I can not disagree. Therefore, I want to take this topic first, in order to briefly consider the technological progress in general, and then more at the exact point. And so IT progress as we know began in the early 90's in the field of computer technology, software and telecommunications, and thanks to this people began to receive fast information in a short time, and not only. Therefore, I consider it a very big plus, but it should be noted that there were a lot of drawbacks, which led to a reduction in jobs. For example, we all know that in the old days, when there were the first phones, there was a very prominent position, more often for girls under the name "telephone operator", who answered the calls and transferred them to their destination. Then there was progress, which in turn facilitated many moments in people's lives, when a person could dial the desired number himself. This progress is pleasing but at the same time frustrating, since after this progress such positions as "telefonist" were no longer needed. Unfortunately in this moment it was not possible to prevent negative consequences. And so I think that this general theme will be enough, and all your

Malicious code is "Software or firmware intended to perform an unauthorized process that will have an adverse impact on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an information system. 1 Today, as ubiquitous computing is fast becoming a reality and information systems are becoming a part of everything from mobile phones to cars, any threat to an information system represents a risk to hardware, software, data, and the users that depend on their confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This paper surveys the topic of malicious code by identifying malicious code, discussing how social engineering is related to malicious code, describing its threats, listing ways and
