The author describes a technique he employed to determine the
global penetration of Sony Corp.'s rootkit installations on
computers. By using the Domain Name System (DNS), he was
able to trace connections to a Sony Web site and estimate the
extent to which personal computers had been infected by the
Sony rootkit installation, which sent information to Sony about
computer users' music copying and also made it difficult for
purchasers of Sony Music to copy their music to iTunes or other
music players.

Metasploit is a favorite tool of people wearing white hats, black
hats and every shade in between. As a penetration testing tool,
it is immensely powerful (sometimes dangerously so). And the
same goes for its use as aa hacking tool. This is a very
interesting article showing how powerful tools can be used for
both good and bad.

This article shines the light on how difficult it is to maintain
security and adopt new technologies. It explains how cloud base
computing has done wonders for businesses by making
resources easier to access and cheaper. It also divulges how
criminals can steal data from clouds and also hide nefarious
data in other peoples’ cloud storage.

9. I am very excited to write a paper about a personal belief that I
hold close to my heart. Throughout my life I have been
extremely fortunate to have made a couple of decisions that
greatly shaped how I got to where I am in life. Because of this,
the personal belief I want to write about today is no matter how
small you think a decision is, it can shape your life in
unforeseen ways. A person should think long and hard about the
ramifications of the choices they make, where it be in work or
life.
In 2007, I was a young soldier and my Command Sergeant
Major was speaking to us about some new training program
about cyber the Navy was offering and he was telling us it was

10. the way of the future, and would be highly in demand by
employers and the Army. A couple of us junior soldiers inquired
further and learned that we would have to reenlist to attend this
opportunity, which really discouraged people for obvious
reasons. Well, I elected to reenlist and attend this training and it
shaped my life by giving me great training that was in high
demand by civilian employers. I still work in this field and am
able to provide a great living for my family.
The next example of why my belief matters so much to me that I
will give is the decision to take a spur of the moment
deployment as a contractor in 2012. In 2012, I just started my
career as a contractor at Fort Meade and was extremely happy
with the money I was making. In April I was approached with a
short notice opportunity to deploy to Afghanistan over the
summer and didn’t even really think to much about it and said
Yes. On that deployment I just so happened to meet my wife
with whom I have a son. I never thought I would meet my wife
in Afghanistan.
All of this just goes to show that every decision can alter your
life in huge ways. Looking back on my life, those two decisions
altered the trajectory of my life in completely unforeseen ways.
You never know how important some decisions are until many
years later.
