Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) was a major American industrialist in the late 19th century and after obtaining substantial wealth from his steel industry, became an advocate for giving back to the less fortunate. Carnegie’s desire to donate to those less fortunate came from past experiences, growing up as an immigrant and working in a cotton factory young. He knew and understood the hardships that people faced when not able to acquire the type of wealth he rose to earn. Through his long life this atypical

Niederhoff says, “In Alias Grace, the spirit of Mary also supports Grace. We should not see the ghostly presence inside Grace in exclusively negative terms: as a demon to be exorcised, a disorder to be cured. We should also see it as a survival strategy. The person talking through Grace’s mouth during the hypnosis scene quite literally defends and protects Grace when she tells the audience that Grace is not guilty of the murders because she knew nothing about them. This person also enables Grace

Johnstown Flood May 31, 1889 was a day that brought terror to the small town of Johnstown Pennsylvania. The small town was established in 1794 as a steel town and had a population on 30,000. The cause of the flood actually starts not at the town but 14 upstream at the South Fork Dam were the Little Conemaugh and Stony Creeks rivers meet as you can see in the image below. At this place is Lake Conemaugh, a 3-mile long lake located up against the side of a mountain, 450 feet higher than Johnstown

Entangled Teen is coming out with a new imprint called Crush, and as the name suggests, the books published through this imprint are very “romantic” reads. Center Ice, the first book I am reviewing from this new imprint, fits that description perfectly while simultaneously destroying my taste buds with its sugary sweetness. The book itself falls just a little short of two-hundred pages, so to me, it seemed very short – but that is just my personal preference. It was a pretty easy read, I flew through

himself is capable of controlling multiple agents; then an agent or slave also known as a zombie, drone or a daemon agent which is essentially an innocent machine being controlled by master by running a daemon or special program and are used to send flood traffic towards the victim machine; and finally the victim himself. The actual strategy may comprise of different techniques, but each of them follows a step-wise process to set the entire model up and launch a coordinated attack as listed below.

QUESTION ONE: Denial of Service (DoS) is a type of a computer security threat that is designed to attack a network and cripple it by flooding the network with useless traffic. A Dos attack exploits vulnerabilities in a TCP/IP implementation or targets specific operating systems or even specific computer applications. A DoS attack aims at ensuring authorized users do not have access to system resources. Common DoS attacks include buffer overflow, ping of death, smurf attack, TCP SYN attack and Teardrop

(Tixteco, L., Aguirre, E., Hdez, M., & Ruben, G. 2012) The next form of DoS attack is the ICMP flood which has an end goal of utilizing all of the allocated bandwidth for the target machine. (Tixteco, L., Aguirre, E., Hdez, M., & Ruben, G. 2012) Typically an ICMP is used for error detection when the destination for IP packets is unreachable. (Kaushik and Joshi, 2010) an ICMP flood attack takes advantage of this process by sending a large amount of ICMP packets to the target which requires

In Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake, she describes a frightening dystopian futuristic society that consists of the compounds and the pleeblands. The compounds are home to “wealthier” class, that work in industrial plants during the day and enjoy the shopping malls and fancy dining at night. The pleeblands are nearly the exact opposite. Snowman, the main character of the novel and former inhabitant of the compounds, describes them as disease infested, drug ridden ghettos. These two communities could

The Unnecessary Paranoia of Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake The novel Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood provides a dystopic vision of the outcome of unregulated pursuit of knowledge and control over nature. It is unlikely that the scenario portrayed in the novel would ever occur beyond fiction. The reason being the United States and many other countries already have regulating agencies and oversight commissions that would prevent scientists such as Crake from ever developing his ideas into

An attack is any malicious or accidental disruption in the confidentially, integrity, or availability of information and network resources. Attacks can come from many places, electronic, physical, or human. Electronics attacks may come from the external network (Internet) or the internal network (Intranet); physical attacks can come in the form of hardware and equipment sabotage or theft, and human attacks most often come in the form of social engineering. Some of the attacks identify and evaluate
