Abstract In today’s IT world, network security is starting to get more attention. In the past, companies’ network infrastructures were capable of managing low amounts of attacks on the network. This is not the case today. The number of online attacks is getting bigger and bigger. Today children from age 6 are capable of breaking into someone’s network system. For attackers, it does not matter whether it is a large or small business or an individual computer. If they find a glitch in the network,

This paper will discuss the possibility of large scale information security breaches, the hardware and software hacked, the hardware and software needed to perform a real-time attack, and the consequences with performing such an attack. This paper will first define any related terms, then describe the information security systems seen in the ‘WATCH_DOGS’ video game, then discuss the various hardware and software involved in an attack in regards to the game and real life, and finally conclude with

Cyber criminals take full advantage of the anonymity and secrecy provided by The Onion Router (TOR) networks through the Internet; therefore, attacking the very foundations of our modern information society is very easy. Cyber crime can involve credit card theft, computer viruses, cyberstalking, cyberterrorism, cyber-pornography, Denial of Service attacks, Distributive-Denial of Service Attacks, hacktivism (hacking activism), identity theft, malware, and spam. Law enforcement officials have struggled

Ethical Responsibilities of Interface Designers Imagine a woman at Ralph’s grocery store, pushing her cart through the aisles. She takes her time finding her items and heads to the checkout. As the cashier rings her up, she notices him pull out of her cart, and scan, a fancy wedge of cheese. She alerts him that she did not pick out that cheese and he informs her that it was merely “a suggestion”, and that she could have removed the cheese from her cart at any time. The woman argues that she did

Spending the last two years working full-time at my father’s hardware store has been a period of major personal growth for me. For the first time, I took on a serious role in the business. I was no longer the boss’ son: I was tasked with trying to turn around a business that had been struggling for quite some time. When I graduated college I knew I wanted a career as an attorney. Prior to committing myself to law school, I wanted to gain some insight into the legal world through experience. But

Introduction Hacking in the world of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is defined as the process of getting unauthorized access to the technical details of a computer such as, programs, applications or the entire computer system. Hacking is performed to improve the system capabilities or to manipulate its normal functions. People who are engaged in this practice are known as “Hackers” (777, 777, 888, 888). It is more likely that hacking is done for a harmful purpose which is not the

Using these labels and their definitions explains the purpose of penetration testing a bit better. White-hats use the same methods and tools to break into networks as a black-hat would, but they disclose the security issue with the network owner. In a sense, a white-hat imitates a malicious attack but there would be no harm done to the network. What are the vulnerabilities in which a penetration test would look for? Most penetration tests

INTRODUCTION The Cat In The Hat, by Dr. Seuss, is a well known book about a silly cat, two young kids, and a big mess. This short story starts off by showing the two young kids sitting at home all alone and bored. All of the sudden, a cat comes out of nowhere and begins to show the kids how to have fun. However, his idea of fun is not very clean and he begins to make a mess everywhere he goes. The kids are too busy joining in the "fun" to notice what a mess this mysterious cat is making. The

LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN ICT 1.0 Introduction Open source is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to a software’s source code. Some consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical strategic element of their operations. Before open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; the term open source gained popularity with

The Truth about Hackers The Truth about Hackers In the winter of the year 2000 an eighteen year old hacker, who went by the name Curador accessed about 26, 000 credit card numbers and put them on the internet. With the help of an ex-hacker, Curador was eventually tracked down and sentenced. All of this was explained in a frontline interview with Curador himself also known as Raphael Gray. Who are these so called hackers? Are peoples assumptions about teenage hackers correct? In 1995 the movie
