5. What does the Skipfish application do and why is it a good security tool for web servers and web application testing? Skipfish application is an open source web app and a fully automated security reconnaissance tool. It is a good security tool because it can perform security and vulnerability tests. 6.
Name ______ _________________________________________ Date _9/5/2012_______ Chapter 1 Reading Organizer 1. List and explain the three things that have to work together in order for most computers to perform useful functions. Hardware – External and internal physical components App Software – Programs that are loaded onto computers to perform specific functions Operating System – Computer programs that manage the hardware of a computer 2. List and explain the two general categories of application software. Business/industry software – software that is designed for use by a specific industry such as medical practice management tools, educational tools, or tools designed for use by law profession for example CAD etc.
They are usually located in a LAN like a home or on the internet. Lab 2.1 Review 1. A network device is equipment used to connect two or more computers together, such as a router, network cable, and network cards. A peripheral device is any external device on a computer such as a mouse, keyboard, or a monitor. 2.
The POS system can track the Frequent Shopper Program with cards and barcode system. The current barcode system is sufficient for the Frequent Shopper Program. Network Connections The current network connection type is a virtual private network (VPN). It is fully secured and enables each of the three locations to connect to the headquarters so that information can be shared within the system. Each location can also be linked to one another through the VPN.
Client server Client server is when there is more than one computer is in a network with a server where all information comes through from. For example if there are 2 computers, computer number 1 and computer number 2. Let say computer number 1 is the client who requests service from the computer
Permissions are based on what the user or group is allowed to do with the data that they have accessed. This includes the ability to alter, add, or delete data. Usernames, passwords, and encryption keys will be used to limit access to the network and to help the IT team keep track of who has used the network and when. This will help reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Gaining access to the network will be done using IPv4 and Mobile IPv4 (MIPv4) protocols.
OIS layer 7 packets are called “layer 4-7 switches” these are like content switches, content service switches and web switches or application switches… Content switches are normally used for “load balancing” among server groups like on TCP/IP. Some can also do NAT wirespeed. Also they can be used in encryption and decryption to reduce the loading on servers. Layer 7 switching is the technology of “content delivery network”.. Layer 4 load balancer is a
Under large bussiness corporations, the scope expands to include other factors such as safe-guarding business legal and transactional interests. The integral part of AUP is the cde of conduct the the users need to display when using the internet or internet. Code of conduct stipulates that the users have to what extent to use the network, the language that uses when they are online especially on social sites and avoid illegal activities that the organisations doesn’t allow. The company or the organisation offering internet have the consequences on the violation of AUP. This may include
3. If the company is looking into using laptops and Internet access in the field, then it must consider encryptions. According to Pfleeger & Pfleeger, “encryption is powerful for providing privacy, authenticity, integrity, and limited access to data” (p. 444). I would suggest “end-to-end encryption” this is known to provide encryption from one end of transmission to the other” (p. 446). This way, information transmitted from the field would be in encrypted throughout the network.
b. Outline the pros and cons of the two alternatives and make a recommendation to Fred about which is better. The first alternative of a downloaded application that would communicate with the DRUB server would be a client based architecture where the main functions would be performed by the client. The second option of a program where C++ program runs on the server and end users access the program via the web is a client-server architecture where the functions are shared between the client and the server. The client based architecture works very well according to FitzGerald & Dennis (2009), “The application software on the client computers is responsible for the presentation logic, the application logic and the data access logic; the server simply stores the data (p.43).” The issue with the client based architecture is that the data must travel between the server and the client.
