Active Denial System Paper

The early version of the worm functioned as a man-in-the-middle attack. It sat between the engineering software and the Siemens controllers for the input and output valves feeding into each centrifuge. The worm would accept commands from the engineering software and give false responses to indicate that these commands were being processed by the controllers. In reality, the worm was regularly allowing the centrifuges to be over-pressurized, which had the effect of causing the centrifuges to wear out and break more quickly. The later version of the software was much more crude. It would take over the centrifuges and refuse to acknowledge signals from the engineering software while an attack was active. The attack operated about once a month and worked by slowing down the centrifuges and then spinning them back up to past their normal full speed. This would cause damage as the centrifuges passed through what was known as a resonance speed, which would destabilize the rotor. Stuxnet managed to increase the rotor speeds at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility from a normal speed of 63,000 rpm to 84,600 rpm. The worms were carefully designed so that it would not be obvious to someone in the facility that their mechanical systems were being sabotaged. For example, the worm would randomly affect different centrifuges at

I saw my first bond reduction hearing at High Point’s courthouse. A middle-aged woman was in jail for assault on a female, which resulted in minor injuries. The defendant had four biological children and two adopted children. She reported that she had employment before the crime. The defendant was requesting a bond reduction. To help her case, the victim of the crime wanted to appear before the judge to speak on the defendant’s behalf. The judge might not have dropped the case, but the witnesses’ testimony could have persuaded him to reduce the defendant’s bond. The judge asked the witness for identification, but she did not have it. So, the judge dismissed the motion for a reduction in bond. The witness had some power to influence the judge.

“Attack the Block” is a British film consisting of many genres including science fiction, horror, action and comedy, written and directed by Joe Cornish. Released in 2011, the film revolves around a major theme, demonstrating that all actions have consequences, but it also mentions a bit of redemption, as the characters must save themselves from evil creatures, as well as save London. The film also has plenty of commentary about perceptions and attitudes towards class and the police in England. We see how the police leap to conclusions and unerringly arrest the wrong people for the wrong reasons. “Attack the Block” highlights the disenfranchised immigrant youth in England surviving according to the rules and laws of their “Block”. They are already profiled as criminals due to how they look and where they live. They have to follow the rules of their environment in order to live their lives normally or even to survive day to day.

Prompt: As a company officer, what does “transitional attack mean to you, and how will it affect your tactics?

One of the most controversial police procedures is the stop, question and frisk. This type of limited search occurs when police officer’s confront a suspicious person in an effort to prevent a crime from taking place. Police officer need to have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to person stop, question and frisk.

I was scrolling through Facebook out of boredom and someone shared a video about lockdown safety and regulations. The instructor created a simulation where a shooter would come in during a lockdown and break and enter a room. The instructor substituted children with balloons and placed them in a location one would typically be during a lockdown situation. He showed the standard precaution (everyone huddled up in a corner with the lights off and shades down) was ineffective and resulted in heavy casualties. The instructor showed a different way to handle such situation and it showed to be more effective than the original method, given the amount of time was granted to the shooter was the same.

Lacy Elementary School is a K-6 public school located in an urban school district. Lacy is a 60 year old school and is the oldest school facility in the district. Built to accommodate an enrollment of 500, Lacy is currently serving 650 students. Lacy Elementary is a neighborhood school. However, 200 students are being bussed in from surrounding neighborhoods due to a recent rezoning project. Most students who attend this school qualify for the federal breakfast and lunch program. A special situations analysis of Lacy Elementary School’s cafeteria during breakfast and lunch times has been conducted. This analysis categorizes the results into the following categories: student’s characteristics and issues, teacher/staff

The clinic in this scenario is facing a potential Denial of Service network intrusion incident. It is the task of the network administer to follow proper incident handling processes to ensure the correct handling of the incident.

There is further evidence of this within The Purge.  After the main struggle between the purgers and the family, the family become surrounded accepting their fate. However, they are mysteriously rescued, or so they seem, by their neighbours. It is revealed that the Neighbours have infact come to kill them, rather than let the purgers kill them. There are not safe within their own affluent neighbourhood. This comes as a shock to Mary as earlier in the film, she is seen with one of her neighbours who bakes her cookies for the night. The Purge begins with James driving home on the evening of the purge night. From a phone call he receives as well as an interaction with his neighbour, it is clear that this man is involved in selling security systems

iPremier, a Seattle based company, was founded in 1996 by two students from Swathmore College. iPremier had become one of a few success web-based commerce, selling luxury, rare, and vintage goods over the Internet. Most of iPremier’s goods sell between fifty and a few hundred dollars, and the customer buys the products online with his or her credit card. iPremier’s competitive advantage is their flexible return policies which allows the customer to thoroughly check out the product and make a decision to keep the product or return it. The majority of iPremier customers are high end, and credit limits are not a problem.

One of the most controversial of the New York Police Department procedures is the stop, question and frisk. It is a pro-active method of the NYPD because it reduce crime, even though the crime rate increase this year. However, the primary target of stop, question and frisk is in the minority communities, in which it lead as a racial

Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a very common cyber menace that renders websites and other online means inaccessible to intended users. There are various types of DoS threats and nearly all directly target the core server structure. Others abuse weaknesses in application and communication proprieties. DoS is also used as a cover-up for other wicked actions, and to take down security applications like web firewalls. A prosperous DoS attack is very obvious and impacts the entire online user base.

Women who are upset about the pay gap have held rallies and protests that are met to convince the government to fix or a less help this problem get better. Some of the protests are very peaceful but sometimes it they get out of hand. “Feminism is the belief in the social, economic, and political equality of women and men”(What's the real gender pay gap - The Washington Post) are trying to help women get equal pay. Sadly most people don’t think about this topic so it can be hard to find help, but sometimes this does work, for example in Europe and North America people Held rallies and speeches and some women got arrested for it American Alice Paul Center 6 prison charges (Britannica Kids Women around

Plate tectonics should sound familiar and also sound like something that is a definitive piece of earth, however, it is just a theory. It is thought that the earth is broken into sections and is slowly moving. There are many pieces of evidence stating why the theory of plate tectonics are valid. Continental drift is the most valid evidence to the plate tectonics theory.

In an e-commerce world, organizations are susceptible to hackers and intruders. Thus creating the information technology protection systems which is used to reduce the possibility of intrusions from occurring. Intrusions occur by uninvited outsiders (sometimes intruders can be internal users like employees) who try to access an organization’s information system using the internet with the intent to gain competitive advantage of some sort. Organizations depend on security technology to avoid loss from security breach, as well as to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. However, firewalls are also vulnerable to errors, and implementing a security technology comes with challenges and critical decisions that can possibly cause a financial burden on the organization if done without seriousness and commitment. “Information security is about managing risk, and managing risk is about discovering and measuring threats to information assets; and taking actions to respond to those threats” (Al-Awadi, & Renaud, 2007, p.3). This paper will discuss a few aspects that are involved with firewalls and intrusion detection systems.
