Offensive Security: Capstone Analysis

During this course there have been a number of key learning points that would help every organization protect itself from a cyber-event. These include password management, patch management, security policies, encryption, and user training. In each of the cyber security breaches one or more of these standard security protocols were not used.

With at least 13 ambush shooting of law enforcement during the last few weeks, Minneapolis police are making changes to how they handle 911 calls. Ambush shootings of officers nationwide were up 50% in 2014 and today's numbers stand at a 70% increase over 2015! Washington-based National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund says ambush-style attacks are the leading method in the surging numbers of shooting deaths of law enforcement officers.

I am Professor Kirk Mooring and I will be your instructor for this class. In this class, you will learn the fundamental core theories of information and network security. In this course, you will learn and use technology skills that are in demand in today’s job market. With so many threats and vulnerabilities created daily that we have to learn to work as a team in order to protect our data with the appropriate security safeguards. You will study the concepts that will help you evaluate and mitigate risk by selecting the appropriate security controls and technologies.

Threat can be divides into 4 various types. The first type is classic threat which is not only threat for OSN user but also threat for the user who plays the internet without the OSN user. The second type is modern threat which is the unique threat for their privacy and security of OSN user. The third threat is combination threat which is the combination of today’s threat, what things that attacker can do? , What thing that attacker often do. The fourth type is threat targeting for children which is the threat specify target for children who use social network.

I have learned skills to diagnose and repair software vulnerabilities within Windows and Linux operating systems through the CyberPatriot program. I also participated in additional studies within the Cisco Networking Academy and received a perfect score on the Cisco Networking Quiz during the CyberPatriot competition.

I am excited to apply for the Information Assurance Engineer position within Lockheed Martin’s Mission Systems and Training division which I found on Lockheed Martin’s Brassring portal. I feel that my proficiency in information security concepts, along with my skills in network penetration testing make me a strong candidate for this position. Over the summer of 2015, I interned with Lockheed martin where I had the opportunity to study intelligence driven defense concepts through Lockheed Martin’s “EXCITE - An Intro to Intelligence Driven Defense” program. Here, I studied core cyber security concepts such as defensible architectures and incident response and forensics. Additionally, I prepared for the Certified Ethical Hacker exam where I studied

During my student teaching experience and my first year of teaching, I noticed that many students struggled to coherently write about their results or conclusions at the end of a lab. Therefore, during my second year of teaching, to help my students strengthen their writing skills, I decided to incorporate a few lessons on the procedures of writing a lab report. Once we had covered the essential parts of the “Scientific Method,” we segwayed into discussing the importance of lab reports in the real-world. We talked about how scientists use them to communicate results, as well as discussed how writing them would develop and sharpen my student’s scientific inquiry skills and scientific thinking. Initially, writing a lab report is a very

The following report is a deep analysis the threat known as CVE-2017-11292; as mentioned in the previous threat analysis report summarizing three current threats. The purpose of the report is to notify National University of the harm that may be caused by CVE-2017-11292 and provide mitigations and solutions.

With the widespread use of technology becoming more prominent, acts of cyber terrorism pose an increased threat to safety. Cyber terrorists exploit the internet and its users to commit acts that can be increasingly detrimental to their targets. Some of the terrorist activities include large scale corruption of computer networks by using tools like computer viruses. Certain individuals even have the ability of creating severe damage to government systems, national security systems and even hospital servers. Most of the technology made today only has intentions of making life easier for people. However, skilled users can manipulate the cyber world for negative intentions. Staying informed when it comes to cyber terrorism and cybercrime is important to do because of the increased reliance on technology in society. Steps to improve cyber security before an attack ensures the safety of sensitive information. The topic of cyber security and cyber warfare are interesting topics to keep up to date with. Understanding these topics can be beneficial to my dream of being in the FBI, ensuring the safety of others by working to prevent acts of cyberterrorism.

The purpose of this paper is to touch on the issue of Hacking. It will go into detail about the history, evolution, future and prevention of Hacking. In addition, this paper will discuss different types of hackers and their motivation behind hacking. This paper examines the major impact caused by malicious hackers and give modern examples of such attacks. To conclude, it will predict how hacking will be in the near future and give the precautionary measures Information Security professionals can take to mitigate the risk of being victimized.

Linton (2011, p.44) stated that hacking of network of common users and attacking their personal computers is one of the most threatening problems at present. It is happening in every second that results in a loss in several ways like loss of credentials, personal information etcetera. Although the use of personal computers and the internet has been increased rapidly, numbers of users who are the expert and have good knowledge to tackle the matters are very rare. In addition, time, as well as required equipment to protect hacking, is also very.

Since the beginning of the Fall 2016 semester, we have covered a great deal of information in our information assurance class. We defined information security and discussed topics such as why we need security, the legal, ethical, and professional issues involving information security, managing and mitigating risks, how to effectively plan for security, tools such as intrusion detection and prevention systems, cryptography, physical

The really useful part of the tutorial was the description of a basic computer attack. Hackers exploit vulnerability, so it is up to the computer professional to eliminate vulnerability wherever possible. The
