Christian Rupe 5/25/09 Research Essay: Final Draft Professor Wilson Hackers and Security Measures A diverse group of people often referred to as “hackers” have been stereotyped as unethical, irresponsible, and a serious threat to society for their actions of breaching of computer systems in an undesirable manner. I will attempt to construct a picture of what a computer crime is, as well as a portrait of what a hacker is, their concerns, and how most hacking occurs. I will also cover the best

processor, the CPU is the heart of the computer and has two part: Control Unit The control unit controls the flow of data through the processor. Arithmetic/Logic unit (ALU) The ALU performs mathematical, logical, and decision operations in a computer and is the final processing performed by the processor. RAM A computer can only run a program when it is in memory

can’t it do? Raytheon’s RIOT software can pull together information about a user from multiple social media platforms to create a composite view of a user’s activities, patterns, associations and beliefs. When does this person typically log onto the computer? Are they accessing social media from work? Are they sharing politically incorrect ideas with people, and how connected are they to radical groups? Unlike Facebook’s data mining into the lives and associations of its members, RIOT draws on every

Cyber Security Cyber security policy is largely dominated by two separate but similar incidents, cyber terrorism and state sponsored events. A cyber terrorist attack may be defined as a computer based attack, the purpose of which is to cause enough destruction that it intimidates a government into compliance for political purposes (XX1). State sponsored attacks, by contrast, is the intentional use of cyberspace by governments to illegally obtain classified information from another state. Such

process of discovering, correcting and preventing security problems. The risk assessment is an integral part of a risk management process designed to provide appropriate levels of security for information systems. The threat from cyber criminals and hackers has increased; as our dependent develop, prospect for them to prey on us are boosted. The cyber fraud is among the fastest growing form of crime in the world Daily Activity Log Using Digital Technologies. Location Connecting Device Protection

sites without a lock or “https” in the address bar. Typically, shopping sites require you to have an email, username, and password. Hackers could easily obtain information of usernames and passwords by hacking the documentation systems of websites. By, creating perplexed passwords consisting of numbers, symbols, uppercase & lowercase letters to make it arduous for hackers to obtain a password. Nevertheless, your email is still a haven for another treat: scammers. Scammers could send spam and clever

use most of the tools provided today to help protect my system. However, the tool that I have chosen to help protect my computer systems, and the data stored on it is using a strong password. Passwords are the first line of defense and are designed to limit, and help you protect unauthorized access to your computer. The stronger the password the more difficult it will be for hackers and malicious software to access your systems, in a way a strong password is the key to your life, it helps you protect

the attack methodologies must be studied and several solutions will be suggested. The solutions will be considered in terms of overall feasibility and cost to the company. I will start with a summary of the main problems plaguing the company’s computer system: • The OS (operating system) is outdated. • The company has no true security measures. • The system relies on automated antivirus programs. • Someone is modifying the database outside

In the article “You Have Almost Certainly Been Hacked” (thisweek.com), the author discusses how hackers are gaining access to private information. He specifically mentions the weaknesses in security programs, the severity of cyber attacks, as well as the potential defenses available. Poor cybersecurity has cost millions of people billions of dollars, tanked their credit scores, and devastated their lives. For any company storing private data, security should be the top priority. Unfortunately for
