The Denial Of Service Attack

“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.

However, some people trying to fix the attack did an adequate job considering the problems the company had. Joanne and Leon Ledbetter did everything in their power to restore the website and protect the customer data, which even included running red lights. Leon was so new that he didn’t know exactly what to do. Training for an emergency would have proven useful. The CIO, Bob Turley, knew of the emergency protocol and out of date manuals, but never did anything to alleviate these problems. This put the company in a significant disadvantage, and created a bigger problem than what was necessary. Faced with this problem, Turley was able to facilitate direction for the company as best as he could, which ended with the security breach stopping.

Most ISIS practice customs from the 7th century, but the methods they use to fight a war are 21st century techniques. ISIS have an advanced computer network that uses social media to attract terrorists worldwide to help them attack countries like the United States. Many countries have been victims of cyber attacks but may not realize it until long after the security breach occurred.

This presentation discusses an incident known as a denial of service (DoS) as well as an intrusion of the clinic’s network systems. A denial of service (DoS) attack is designed to shut down services which a business needs to operate. This incident caused widespread slowness and outages to internet services and affected the clinic’s capability to properly treat its patients. In this presentation, the incident is examined. The processes to detect, analyze, contain, eradicate and recover from the incident are the focus of the presentation. Once the incident investigation was complete, special consideration was made as to what was learned and how clinic staff can help protect the clinic’s ability to properly serve its patients.

Attack the Block (2011) was directed by Joe Cornish and produced by Studio Gems. The genre of the film is Action and adventure and it includes science fiction which means it’s an hybridized genre. The People Being Represented Are a gang of teenage boys who deal drugs are violent and vulgar. In the end they beat the aliens but suffer casualties.

It is not clear in the article if iPremier did any risk assessment, and if they did, they didn’t anticipate that they could be victims of a DDoS attack. iPremier should have used a Contingency Planning standard like NIST SP 800-34 to identify risks and develop policies and procedures to deal with attacks like the one they faced. If they had these, they could have responded in a more orderly and affectively fashion and they could have alternatives to overcome the negative impact

Denial-of-Service attack (DoS) when a hacker continuously attacks a particular network or dedicated Access Point (AP) with fake requests, failure messages and premature successful connection messages and other commands. These causes authorized users from preventing connecting to the network and results in network failure or crash. These attacks depends on misuse of protocols like Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

Imagine that you get home from a hard day at work or school, have a bite to eat, and then sit at your computer. After you've checked your e-mail, you're ready to play an online game. Excitement begins to build, but then you notice your browser was denied access to your network, preventing you from connecting to the Internet. In desperation, you turn your computer's power off and restart it. After the reboot, your computer still cannot reach any networked service. Since only your computer was involved, you think it may be a Denial of Service attack. However, days later you learn that the attack you experienced was a Distributed Denial of Service, an attack involving numerous computers that flooded the game servers and prevented anyone from gaining

A DoS Attack, or Denial-of-Service attack, is an attack that that fill a network with lots of useless traffic. Many DoS attacks, such as the Ping of Death and Teardrop attacks, exploit limitations in the TCP/IP protocols. A couple of the most recent DoS attacks have been directed to Capitol One and SunTrust Banks. In October Capital One and SunTrust were attacked by this Denial-of-Service. Capital One’s website was inaccessible for 8 hours because the network was just filled with useless traffic. In the next couple of days SunTrust bank suffered performance issues.

2. (15 pts) Using general mass-media (such as news sites) identify a recent computer security incident. Discuss the incident in few sentences. Next, find at least three articles on computer security sites that discuss the technology behind the attack / prevention / reaction etc. for the incident. Remember to provide the links also. This part should not be longer than 1-1.5 pages.

Denial of service cyberattacks are attacks on websites that make them inaccessible to normal people. While a lot of cyberattacks are used to steal information, denial of service attacks don’t try to. Instead, they try to make website servers unavailable and in some cases, they are “used as a smokescreen for other malicious activities,” like trying to take down firewalls. A successful denial of service attack impacts a very large number of people, so hackers and other people like to use this to send messages to the public. Denial of Service attacks can last for months; this makes them very dangerous for online businesses. They make companies lose money and customers and inconvenience everyday users. These reasons are

It is estimated that cyber-attacks cost companies as much as $400 billion per year. Two of the most devastating attacks are distributed denial of service and social engineering. Although, there is no way to be completely safe from attack, there are precautions to take to help prevent them.

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.

Under these circumstances, and with no prior experience with security breaches, I believe the company performed well. Bob Turley communicated well with the other members of the company, but if I were in his shoes, I would have been more conservative and acted faster. In responding to the crisis, there were two main issues that iPremier faced – understanding the attack, and restoring order.

D. Describe where on the network the attack likely originated. Provide specific examples based on general critical infrastructure systems (CIS) vulnerabilities to justify your claims.
