Preventing The Growing Risks Of Computer Viruses On Social...
What can be done to prevent the growing risks of computer viruses on social media?
A computer virus is a malware program that, when executed copies itself into other data files, computer programs, or the boot sector of the hard drive
with 95% of viruses doing no more than that. (1)(2). A virus might attach itself to a program such as a word document program. Each time the word
document program runs, the virus runs too and it has the chance to reproduce by attaching to other programs. (3) Nowadays, it is extremely important
to be aware of viruses because they can cause very dangerous consequences such as identity theft and fraud. When people generally think about
computer viruses, they normally think about an attack on a computer system, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
If it can find one, it modifies the program to add the virus' code into that program. The virus will then launch the "real program" with the user not
having any way to know that the virus ever ran. This means the virus has now reproduced itself. The next time the user launches either of their
programs, they will infect other programs, and so the cycle continues. (4)
One of the early viruses that hit social media was called Koobface in the 2000s, although it was not the first, it was the first to be so widespread. It
managed to attack Facebook, Bebo, MySpace, Friendster and other popular social networking sites at the time. Koobface is a computer worm that
spreads via social networking sites. A computer worm is a self–replicating worm that has the ability to copy itself from machine to machine. Koobface
knew how to create its own social networking account and would post links to spread it further. The link takes the user to either a fake Youtube or
Facebook, but will stall saying the user needs to download the new version of Adobe's Flash Player installed in order to continue. Once the user
proceeds to install, they are infected. The infection allows the attacker to access the user's personal information such as banking details, passwords or
personal identity. Additionally, Koobface generated profit through pay–by–click and traffic referral schemes. They were also able to trick users into
paying for fake antivirus software. (11)

Abstract The increase of technology has given us luxuries beyond our ancestor's imagination. Yet, with the growing technological advances information
security among the cyber world is also a growing concern. Hackers and cyber criminals are lurking to and fro seeking security vulnerabilities to devour
personal computers and computer systems alike. Their methods run into malicious behavior in the form of developing malware that includes several
types; viruses, worms, botnets, Trojan horses and logic bombs. Moreover, to the Christian our very own sanctification has hindrances as well. In ...

Introduction As the world becomes more engrained with technology. The growing threats and security vulnerabilities propose a great concern to
keep our digital information private and out of the hands of thieves, hackers, and abusers. According to David Donahoo quoted in the Liberty
Journal, "The more information that is available in the cyber world, the larger the pie becomes as far as a cyber criminal is concerned." (Menard,
2015) In other words, information security is becoming a vital intrinsic absolute when we consider the luxury our technology has brought us on a
daily basis. More so, in the spiritual sense the biblical doctrine of sanctification also plays a vital role in the health of our own spiritual lives.
Sanctification as defined by Wayne Grudem, "is a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our
actual lives." (Grudem, 1994) With that said,

Malware ( Malicious Software )
The Internet has extended its reach over the last 15–20 years, so is malware (malicious software). Also it has evolved and become more complex and
applying new tricks every day. Early forms of malware sought to generate attacks on basic areas of computer systems, but today its aims are
increasingly evil, focusing on theft and other illicit activities. Malware has become much more of a concern for organizations; Today, in addition to
individual computers and the networks of organizations both large and small, Internet connectivity also extends to devices such as gaming consoles
and smartphones. And as computing architectures shift, protecting organizations, governments, and citizens from malware has become even more of a
challenge for network experts.
How malware has evolved; including new attack tricks
Malware became known to many computer users through widespread infections caused by Melissa (in 1999) and LoveLetter (in 2000). Both were
email–based, and LoveLetter spread via an infected email attachment. When the attachment was opened, the malware overwrote a variety of different
types of files on the user's PC and emailed itself to others in the user's email address book.
The developer(s) of those malwares applied very simple and easy tricks that could exploit the user without creating any suspicion. Melissa was
relatively easy to create and attacked weaknesses in important and popular technologies that could be exploited again with even more serious results.

The Raven and Ligeia a comparison Essay
The Raven and Ligeia a comparison
Although the two tales are presented in different literary forms the tales themselves deal with remarkably similar subject matter. So much so that it is
possible to compare the style of each with but a little reference to the general themes of the two works.
The Raven and Ligeia are both about loss. The narrators of both tales have lost the dearest thing to them, a woman of incomparable talents and beauty.
That the loss of this woman has happened for different reasons does not matter for it is how this loss manifests itself in the lives of the narrators that

Her insistence that "Man doth not yield him to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will." Is the most
important of these cryptic and morbid musing of the ladies deathbed. So it is that after he has moved from the country of their romance and
residence he is still so obsessed with her that he makes his new home in an old abandoned abbey and even goes so far as to decorate his bedroom
with the mortuary artefacts of several eastern cultures. It is not until his second, and neglected, wife takes ill that these morbid fascinations take full
root. Through the veils of an opiate stupor he begins to imagine some supernatural agency that only he has perceived to be responsible for the final
demise of his current wife. And after the death he begins to imagine a reviving of the corpse where in the end just as the dawn approaches he beholds
his beloved Ligeia returned to him.
So it is that the main themes in both of these works are those of obsession, death and the guilt of the survivor. How each approaches this and evokes
the mood in the reader is remarkably different.
In Ligeia the narrator begins his tale in a crumbling city on the

The Story Of The Brothers
Once there was a nest(not a leaf–filled nest or a damp nasty nest that you would find on a street corner) it was a neat and cosy home. This is where
the Raven brothers and their mother resided. The brothers were Edgar the oldest and smartest, Allen the laziest of the bunch, and Poe who liked to
play with sticks and twigs. Their mother was a strict woman who did not approve of disobedience, but loved her children all the same. That is where
our story starts. One day the brothers find their mother is sick with Bird Flu (a disease that kills birds and humans). The brother stayed with her until
she died a year later. Her last dying words were "be safe and stay way from Shanks the 900th." The brothers began to spiral into depression and
spent most of their days sleeping and all around not doing anything. The brothers moped around for a couple of years but the nest became unkempt
and dilapidated. The kitchen was full of moldy bread, a filthy sink, and a hot icebox. The family room had half eaten bird seed, stained chairs and
benches, and a moth eaten pillows. Their bedrooms had broken down nest beds, unorganized closets and drawers, and unclean clothes on the floor.
On a especially miserable day Edgar was fed up with himself with all the moping around a getting behind on the bills, so he called his brothers to talk
about a solution to their problems. They were not to happy about this but they came all the same. Edgar proposed a idea that they should get houses and

Real and Cyber World Threats
Every day we are prone to threats against our lives that may harm us in many ways, in the real world and cyber world. In the cyber realm, we have a
big issue with something called malware; malware is malicious software that comes in many forms. It may attack in many ways at any time or place;
that is why there is a lot of research going into figuring out how malware works.
Malware costs people in the US alone billions of dollars yearly (Consumer Reports Magazine). There are many types of malware such as: Viruses,
Trojan horses, Phishing, Worms, and Spyware. They work in many different ways but they all corrupt something in the everyday lives of the
computer users. First off, Phishing, poses as a real legitimate such as: bank websites. It wants you to go to the link while it "fishes" for the data
you provide on the site. Spyware is a monitor of your personal use on your computer. It sends advertising info after it has your data, this is one of
the most difficult to get rid of. Trojan horses, like Phishing, may be covered and look like a real program and have actual function but it can delete
data and compromise security. A Virus, we all have heard of a virus before. It is the most common known to man. A Virus infects your computer by

Taking a Look at Cybercrime
Cybercrime
The misuse of computer systems has been a prevalent issue ever since the invention of computers. In this digital age, cybercrime is the fastest growing
categories of crime facing many nations. It is pervasive and epidemic, threating billions of computer users and causing damages worth in billions.
Every year, the numbers of attacks are increasing in numbers and complexity. And as we become more reliant on information systems, our security and
privacy are in increasingly constant threat of compromise. When planning online crime, cybercriminals employ different tactics for various reasons.
Their intention can be stealing money, obtaining valuable data, or simply revenge. When the Internet was created, security was not taken into account.
Most of the technologies we depend on today have no effective security. The security issues of the internet are due to software thinking everyone is
playing by the rules. The design flaw allows cybercriminals to exploit and deliberately cause software to perform tasks that not designed to do. Identity
theft, hacking, spamming, and digital piracy–––these are the few prevalent forms of cybercrimes.
Identity theft is increasingly becoming a prevalent form of cybercrime. Cybercriminals misrepresent themselves by pretending to some else and use
others personal information to open accounts or use accounts that already exist. In 2014 " 22 million Americans had been victimized by.." These crimes

The Middle Ages : A Holy War Or Crusade Against Muslim Turks
"Once there was time time when all people believed in God and the church ruled," doesn't George Bernard Shaw make it seem like life would seem
simple in the middle ages. Everyone believing in the same ideas and practices. Although, it might not be that simple, back in the middle ages everyone
believed the Christianity. The church unified its people from a once corrupt world. The people would devote countless hours of their lives to give back
to the church. Above all, the feudal system was controlled by the church, including the all mighty kings. Christianity brought upon an age of faith
throughout the middle ages. During the middle ages, there were many times where the church has called upon other nations to help fight against
infidels, or enemies of the church. This would help other nations and the people of the church to help fight for a holy cause. One example is when Pope
Urban II called for a holy war or crusade against Muslim Turks. "Your Brethren who live in the (Middle) East are in Urgent need of your help... For,
as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania," the Pope is calling for the followers
of the church to unite and fight against a common enemy (DBQ 1–13). The people in turn, joined forces and fought in Holy war or the first Crusade.
This crusade also unified the Byzantine empire under the control of the Pope (Class Notes). The Byzantines were being threatened by invasion from the

Stouxnet Research Paper
Stuxnet Virus
According to counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, Stuxnet was a weaponized malware computer worm. Stuxnet was launched in mid–2009, it did
major damage to Iran's nuclear program in 2010 and then spread to computers all over the world (Clarke, 2012).
Type of Breach
The Stuxnet is a computer worm, "it is a digital ghost with countless lines of code... it was able to worm its way into Iran's nuclear fuel enrichment
facility in Natanz, Iran" (Clarke, 2012). A worm is a program that spreads copies of itself through a network and a worm can also spread copies of itself
as a stand–alone program (Pfleeger & Pfleeger, 2007).

VirusBlokAda reported the vulnerability to Microsoft and Microsoft named the malware Stuxnet from a combination of file names (.stub and
MrxNet.sys) found in the code (Zetter, 2011). One of the Stuxnet's driver files used a valid signed certificate stolen from RealTek Semiconductor, a
hardware maker in Taiwan, in order to trick the systems into thinking the malware was a trusted program from RealTek (Zetter, 2011). Internet
authorities quickly revoked the certificate. But another Stuxnet driver was found using a second certificate; this new certificate was stolen from
"JMicron Technology, a circuit maker in Taiwan that was– coincidentally or not – headquartered in the same business park as RealTek" (Zetter, 2011).
The experts said that the virus was designed to target Simatic WinCC Step7 software; which is an industrialcontrol system made by the German
conglomerate Siemens. The system was used to program controllers that drive motors, valves and switches in everything from food factories and
automobile assembly lines to gas pipelines and water treatment plants (Zetter, 2011). This happens to be the same software that was used at Natanz
facility. The Stuxnet virus looked for industrial control systems and then altered the code in them to allow the attackers to take control of these systems
without the operators knowing (The Stuxnet Worm: Symantec). In other words, the Stuxnet worm was designed to allow hackers to manipulate

Threat of Hackers on the Internet Essay
Research Critique The ability of the attackers to rapidly gain control of vast number of Internet hosts poses an immense threat to the overall security
of the Internet (Staniford, Paxson & Weaver, 2002). Once compromised, these hosts can not only be used for massive Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attacks, but also steal or corrupt great quantities of sensitive information by confusing and disrupting the network in more subtle ways
(Honeynet, 2005). The attackers accomplish this task by sending an intrusion agent commonly known as В‘worm'. There are "two major types of
malicious codes in the wild" (Todd, 2003, pp. 2). These codes are differentiated by their means of propagation: worms are self–replicating,

First article that discussed self–replicating code within a C compiler appeared in 1984 by Thompson. Morris worm was launched in 1988, which had
a devastating effect on the Internet (Todd, 2003). Most research conducted so far has focused on modeling and detection of the Internet worm
propagation. However, the final objective of the research is containment and elimination of these worms, which has not received enough research
(Zheng & Duan). This paper discusses the possible future network attack which will probably use an organized army of malicious nodes called
malnets. These malnets are capable of delivering many different types of attacks. According to several researchers who are working on finding out
how the malicious worms propagate on the internet the ground has already been set (Honeynet, 2005; Zheng & Duan; Geer, 2005; Staniford, Paxson
& Weaver, 2002). However, "partly due to the lack of understanding of the resiliency and efficiency a malnet can have, countering malnets has been
ineffective" (Li, Ehrenkranz & Kuenning, 2005). Placement of the article in the literature The paper is very recent and appeared in 2005. Since the

Computer virus has evolved over the years – from the early days of Internet distributed Morris worm to remote access Trojans(RAT). Often not, a
personal computer tends to be vulnerable to a virus attack. It was reported that an anti–virus company can receive tens and thousands of sample
harmful executables from it users, be it a Trojans or viruses. [4] The harmful executables will infiltrate into your computer system and causes your

Malware – What is it
Malware is a piece of program that is created with intent of causing harm to the receiver. Malware is also known as malicious software, malicious code
and malcode. It contains the harmful intent of an attacker; example the attacker wants to hack into the victim computer to cause a Distributed
Denial–Of–Service (DDoS). [5] DDoS attacks are classified into major and minor, with major being difficult to create and minor being easy to create.
A simple yet concise idea of how DDoS affects the victim is denying the connection to TCP/IP in which the victim will have no access to the internet.
Additionally, Malware can be described as a term that is related to Trojans, viruses, spywares, rootkits, malicious mobile code and other intrusive
code. [6] Malware is now tied to organized crime around the world, gone are the days of the status hackers. (I don't understand this part).

A worm or computer worm is able to reproduce itself by executing its own set of codes independent from any other codes or program. The main
difference between a virus and worm is the worm does not require any host to cause trouble. This means that a worm is able to cause damage to the

The term "computer virus" is frequently used to describe any software that is used to cause damage to the computer, although it is merely one type of
malware. There are many types of malware currently in use, and there will likely be many more created. Although there are many similarities between
the different types of malware, there are also many differences in the ways they are created and the ways they behave.
Common Types of Malware
According to Nate Lord, in an article titled "Common Malware Types", found on Infosec Island (www.infosecisland.com), although the number of
malware programs will "make your head spin", some of the most common types of malware are: Spyware, Trojan Horse, Virus and Worm. Malware is
short for malicious software and is used as a broad term "that refers to a variety of malicious programs". (Lord, 2012)
Virus
A computer virus is a computer program that is usually hidden within another seemingly innocuous program and that produces copies of itself and
inserts them into other programs and usually performs a malicious action (as destroying data) (www.merriam–webster.com, 2015). The traditional

Siegfried vs Beowulf Essay examples
"Any relations in a social order will endure, if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality."
–George William Russell
Homer defines a hero as one who acquires and maintains honor through victory in battle while embracing a highly individualistic attitude. Homer's epic
warriors were self–interested in order to preserve their honor and to acquire fame––the currency used by the hero to achieve immortality. Heroes of this
archetype often show a neglectful disregard for the lives of their warriors and supporting cast. This is symptomatic of their obsession with acquiring
honor over building relationships (Dunkle). But how can a hero protect his fame ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Following the structure of the Homeric hero, Beowulf's only concern is becoming king and dying gloriously in battle to get into Valhalla, a heaven
reserved for the brave warriors who died fighting in combat. He is so blinded by his goals that he discounts the well–being of his men.
This is exemplified in the scene where Beowulf recounts his battle with Grendel to King Hrothgar. He fails to mention that one of his men played the
role of the sacrificial lamb, while the others assisted in defeating the beast–the whole process was a joint effort. However, for the 20 lines of his
recount, he emphasizes how "pleased" he is with Grendel writhing from pain, beaten by his bare hands (Heaney line 957–977). He is insinuating that
he alone is responsible for the creature's death. The only time the martyr is mentioned is when the chieftain gifting Beowulf's men reveals that "one
man's daring prevented the doom [of killing more of the men]" (Heaney line 1056). This episode suggests that Beowulf is indifferent to the deaths of
even those who are supposedly closest to him, as he remains emotionally undamaged while boasting about his defeat. His lack of sympathy disables
him from creating a substantial bridge between him and his men. Siegfried, on the other hand, desires human interaction. Unlike Beowulf, he has an
affinity for securing his relationships with others by developing strong loyalties

Pope Gregory VII and King Henry IV
The investiture controversy was conflict between church and state. Those days, Henry was most powerful king in Europe, but Gregory willing to give
him problems and wanted to dominate the state. Gregory was threatened the king, but the problem was that he was without any military power and this
made him vulnerable. At that time bishops were important political figure and the main issue of conflict was bishop's appointment because the Pope
and the king both wanted to make bishops in their favor. Moreover, Pope decided to put an end to civil authority over the church. He declared only the
church had the right to appoint, transfer, or remove bishops, but King began to appoint his own bishops.
When the Saxon war was going defectively, the king made an advisory committee to advise him to talk Gregory .Pope assumed this favorable sign
that the king would come and talk to him before the coronation. Henry won a military victory in 1075 in Saxon war and he had begun to restore
royal authority on winning places. He had not gone to talk with Pope Gregory but appointed imperial candidate's arch bishop. He had not taken any
advice from the pope and previous bishops who were appointed by the pope. This made the pope furious so, he wrote admonish to King Henry.

Cyber Warfare : A New Generation Of Invisible Weapon
A.Evolution of Cyber Warfare
A new generation of "invisible weapon" has generated a strong debate about whom from the military or the scientists should launch and control war?
The use of computer to disrupt the activities of an enemy country, while deliberately attacking their communication systems is becoming the greatest
threat the world had ever faced. Richard Clarke in his book cyber War (May 2010), defines it as "action by nation–state to penetrate another nation's
computers or networks for the purpose of causing damage or disruption."
The recent century and its technology spike had allow all nations to become a single city through interconnection, almost all computer are connected

Henry Iv And Henry V By William Shakespeare
In Henry IV and Henry V by Shakespeare, a father and son have diametrically different reigns as king. While both kings are politically savvy and
gain the favor of the people, only one, Henry V, has the divine right of kings. The divine right of kings is the belief that power is instilled in them
by God and rebellion against them is considered a sin. The influence of divine intervention is shown through the punishment and guilt of Henry IV
and the success of Henry V. The rule of Henry IV illustrates the fate of one who seizes a crown that is not rightfully his by divine ordinance: a reign
troubled with treason and uprisings. He does not have the right to rule because he has not obtained the crown through the law of primogeniture and
therefore lacks the divine power imparted on those who gain the throne legitimately. Henry IV seems to have all of the right characteristics to be a
successful king; however, he comes to the throne as an illegitimate ruler with the responsibility of the death of God's chosen king, Richard II, on his
shoulders. These actions cause Henry IV to incur the wrath of God against him and to have a reign plagued with conflict; his ambitiousness and
political intelligence cannot fight back against the divine punishment inflicted upon him. His divine punishment dictates that he will have no peace in
his rule. The instability of England when Henry IV becomes king is foreshadowed by Carlisle: "In this seat of peace tumultuous wars / Shall kin with

A Report On The Attack Automation Strategy
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~sunshine/publications/ccr.pdf
1a) An DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) Attack consists of several phases– firstly the attacker recruits multiple agent machines which will be later
on infected with the attack code and further exploited. The infected machines can be used to further recruit new agents. We can outline those phases as
Recruit, Exploit, Infect and Use.
ATTACKAUTOMATION STRATEGY
The attack automation strategy stands for how much of the DDoS attack does an attacker want to make automatic and how much to leave for manual
control. The strategy depends on the degree of automation of the phases of the attack. There are three general automation degrees – Manual, Automated
and Semi–Automated– which are explained as follows:
oManual
In that case, the hacker manually recruits machines by scanning remote ones for vulnerabilities, breaks their security mechanisms, installs the prepared
attack code and then directs the attack. This type of a DDoS Attack has become really outdated since lately all the recruitment phase has been
automated.
Weak design consideration in terms of functionality and productivity.
oSemi–Automated
In the Semi–Automated DDoS attacks the DDoS "network" is made of a handler and an agent machine. There is automation present for the Recruit,
Exploit and Infect phases. Through the communication between the handler and the agent, the attacker specifies the attack type, the onset, the duration
and the victims ID. The

Malware And Its Effects On Our Computer
Have you ever been surfing the web when all of a sudden a vibrant window pops up congratulating you for being the nth visitor and the lucky
recipient of some amazing prize which you'll receive just as soon as you enter your email address or download a file? Almost everyone encounters a
pop–up like this every now and then. Some of us, including myself, have even followed the instructions only to learn that we've helped a malware
program run on our computer.
Malware, also known as malicious software, has a deep history behind it. By definition, malware is a code or a software that is designed to damage,
disrupt, steal, or inflict malice in some form or another on computer data, personal files, hosts, or networks. It poses a major threat to home and
business computers worldwide and there aren't many means to stop it.
Malware comes in a variety of forms, and from a variety of sources. Over the last few decades malware has grown more sophisticated and more
dangerous. The main types of malware include computer viruses, worms, trojans, and bots. Malware can be separated further into sub–categories such
as backdoor trojans, remote access trojans, information stealers, and ransomware. The different forms of malware use different techniques to damage
or infect the targeted computer. However, all malware has one thing in common, self–replication. Before we can learn about this self–replication that is

Malmare Throughout the History of Computers
Throughout the history of computers, malware has been developed and expanded. Today, several different types of malware exist, each with their own
unique abilities.
Virus
One of the most well–known types of malware among the general public is a virus. A computer virus is malicious software that infects a computer
and then makes copies of itself, much like a biological virus. Before, viruses were spread through the use of floppy disks or USB flash drives.
Nowadays, they are mainly spread through emails. Many phishing emails lead to webpages that download a virus onto the computer hardware. Viruses
can corrupt computer files, making the computer unusable (Department of Homeland Security).
Trojan
Yet another piece ofmalware is a trojan horse. This malware is much like the popular historical Trojan horse –– it appears like a gift, usually in the
form of a useful software –– but carries dangerous software inside it. The reason trojans are so dangerous is because they can allow third party users
remote access to the computer by creating a backdoor, allowing them to steal private and sensitive information (IT Business Edge, 2014).
Phishing
As mention earlier, viruses can be transmitted through phishing emails. These are another type of malware that also targets computer users. These
phishing scams usually come in the form of emails to users. By attaching logos to the emails, phishing scams appear to be from legitimate business,
such as popular corporations, universities, or

The Discovery Of The Osedax Worm
A matriarchy flourishes nearly 2,300 feet below sea level. As the female Osedax worm swims in search of decaying animal bones to eat, her male
equivalent –– nearly one hundred thousand times smaller than her –– clamours to latch onto her body and wriggle himself into her translucent tube
alongside hundreds of other dwarf Osedax dudes.
Scientists found the first of these odd undersea worms 12 years ago while remotely patrolling the bottom of the ocean. The worms lack teeth and guts;
yet they consume bones by secreting an acid that dissolves the bones, and then ingesting the protein and fat through their skin. All variations of the
worm seemed to follow the same mating pattern, where hundreds of thirsty boys scramble to attach to a large, stable girl. A recent discovery from the
Scripps institute in Chicago, however, has scientists celebrating a more self–sufficient male –– what they call the Osedax Priaus, or "the penis worm." ...

Preventing The Growing Risks Of Computer Viruses On Social...

  • 1. Preventing The Growing Risks Of Computer Viruses On Social... What can be done to prevent the growing risks of computer viruses on social media? A computer virus is a malware program that, when executed copies itself into other data files, computer programs, or the boot sector of the hard drive with 95% of viruses doing no more than that. (1)(2). A virus might attach itself to a program such as a word document program. Each time the word document program runs, the virus runs too and it has the chance to reproduce by attaching to other programs. (3) Nowadays, it is extremely important to be aware of viruses because they can cause very dangerous consequences such as identity theft and fraud. When people generally think about computer viruses, they normally think about an attack on a computer system, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... If it can find one, it modifies the program to add the virus' code into that program. The virus will then launch the "real program" with the user not having any way to know that the virus ever ran. This means the virus has now reproduced itself. The next time the user launches either of their programs, they will infect other programs, and so the cycle continues. (4) One of the early viruses that hit social media was called Koobface in the 2000s, although it was not the first, it was the first to be so widespread. It managed to attack Facebook, Bebo, MySpace, Friendster and other popular social networking sites at the time. Koobface is a computer worm that spreads via social networking sites. A computer worm is a self–replicating worm that has the ability to copy itself from machine to machine. Koobface knew how to create its own social networking account and would post links to spread it further. The link takes the user to either a fake Youtube or Facebook, but will stall saying the user needs to download the new version of Adobe's Flash Player installed in order to continue. Once the user proceeds to install, they are infected. The infection allows the attacker to access the user's personal information such as banking details, passwords or personal identity. Additionally, Koobface generated profit through pay–by–click and traffic referral schemes. They were also able to trick users into paying for fake antivirus software. (11) This is also the ...

The Windows 7 Action Center The Windows 7 Action Center Information Security and Sanctification James Gheen Liberty University Lynchburg, Virginia Abstract The increase of technology has given us luxuries beyond our ancestor's imagination. Yet, with the growing technological advances information security among the cyber world is also a growing concern. Hackers and cyber criminals are lurking to and fro seeking security vulnerabilities to devour personal computers and computer systems alike. Their methods run into malicious behavior in the form of developing malware that includes several types; viruses, worms, botnets, Trojan horses and logic bombs.

The growing threats and security vulnerabilities propose a great concern to keep our digital information private and out of the hands of thieves, hackers, and abusers. According to David Donahoo quoted in the Liberty Journal, "The more information that is available in the cyber world, the larger the pie becomes as far as a cyber criminal is concerned." (Menard, 2015) In other words, information security is becoming a vital intrinsic absolute when we consider the luxury our technology has brought us on a daily basis. More so, in the spiritual sense the biblical doctrine of sanctification also plays a vital role in the health of our own spiritual lives.

  • 5. Malware ( Malicious Software ) The Internet has extended its reach over the last 15–20 years, so is malware (malicious software). Also it has evolved and become more complex and applying new tricks every day. Early forms of malware sought to generate attacks on basic areas of computer systems, but today its aims are increasingly evil, focusing on theft and other illicit activities. Malware has become much more of a concern for organizations; Today, in addition to individual computers and the networks of organizations both large and small, Internet connectivity also extends to devices such as gaming consoles and smartphones. And as computing architectures shift, protecting organizations, governments, and citizens from malware has become even more of a challenge for network experts. How malware has evolved; including new attack tricks Malware became known to many computer users through widespread infections caused by Melissa (in 1999) and LoveLetter (in 2000). Both were email–based, and LoveLetter spread via an infected email attachment. When the attachment was opened, the malware overwrote a variety of different types of files on the user's PC and emailed itself to others in the user's email address book. The developer(s) of those malwares applied very simple and easy tricks that could exploit the user without creating any suspicion. Melissa was relatively easy to create and attacked weaknesses in important and popular technologies that could be exploited again with even more serious results. For ...

  • 6. The Raven and Ligeia a comparison Essay The Raven and Ligeia a comparison Although the two tales are presented in different literary forms the tales themselves deal with remarkably similar subject matter. So much so that it is possible to compare the style of each with but a little reference to the general themes of the two works. The Raven and Ligeia are both about loss. The narrators of both tales have lost the dearest thing to them, a woman of incomparable talents and beauty. That the loss of this woman has happened for different reasons does not matter for it is how this loss manifests itself in the lives of the narrators that provide the drama and the poignancy of the stories. In each we discover the narrator is dwelling upon that woman that he adored and in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Her insistence that "Man doth not yield him to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will." Is the most important of these cryptic and morbid musing of the ladies deathbed. So it is that after he has moved from the country of their romance and residence he is still so obsessed with her that he makes his new home in an old abandoned abbey and even goes so far as to decorate his bedroom with the mortuary artefacts of several eastern cultures. It is not until his second, and neglected, wife takes ill that these morbid fascinations take full root. Through the veils of an opiate stupor he begins to imagine some supernatural agency that only he has perceived to be responsible for the final demise of his current wife. And after the death he begins to imagine a reviving of the corpse where in the end just as the dawn approaches he beholds his beloved Ligeia returned to him. So it is that the main themes in both of these works are those of obsession, death and the guilt of the survivor. How each approaches this and evokes the mood in the reader is remarkably different. In Ligeia the narrator begins his tale in a crumbling city on the Rhine, immediately evoking thoughts of the old world, this is emphasised almost straight away as he describes his departed love. He compares her with the goddesses of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. The Story Of The Brothers Once there was a nest(not a leaf–filled nest or a damp nasty nest that you would find on a street corner) it was a neat and cosy home. This is where the Raven brothers and their mother resided. The brothers were Edgar the oldest and smartest, Allen the laziest of the bunch, and Poe who liked to play with sticks and twigs. Their mother was a strict woman who did not approve of disobedience, but loved her children all the same. That is where our story starts. One day the brothers find their mother is sick with Bird Flu (a disease that kills birds and humans). The brother stayed with her until she died a year later. Her last dying words were "be safe and stay way from Shanks the 900th." The brothers began to spiral into depression and spent most of their days sleeping and all around not doing anything. The brothers moped around for a couple of years but the nest became unkempt and dilapidated. The kitchen was full of moldy bread, a filthy sink, and a hot icebox. The family room had half eaten bird seed, stained chairs and benches, and a moth eaten pillows. Their bedrooms had broken down nest beds, unorganized closets and drawers, and unclean clothes on the floor. On a especially miserable day Edgar was fed up with himself with all the moping around a getting behind on the bills, so he called his brothers to talk about a solution to their problems. They were not to happy about this but they came all the same. Edgar proposed a idea that they should get houses and they should not ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Real and Cyber World Threats Every day we are prone to threats against our lives that may harm us in many ways, in the real world and cyber world. In the cyber realm, we have a big issue with something called malware; malware is malicious software that comes in many forms. It may attack in many ways at any time or place; that is why there is a lot of research going into figuring out how malware works. Malware costs people in the US alone billions of dollars yearly (Consumer Reports Magazine). There are many types of malware such as: Viruses, Trojan horses, Phishing, Worms, and Spyware. They work in many different ways but they all corrupt something in the everyday lives of the computer users. First off, Phishing, poses as a real legitimate such as: bank websites. It wants you to go to the link while it "fishes" for the data you provide on the site. Spyware is a monitor of your personal use on your computer. It sends advertising info after it has your data, this is one of the most difficult to get rid of. Trojan horses, like Phishing, may be covered and look like a real program and have actual function but it can delete data and compromise security. A Virus, we all have heard of a virus before. It is the most common known to man.

  • 9. Taking a Look at Cybercrime Cybercrime The misuse of computer systems has been a prevalent issue ever since the invention of computers. In this digital age, cybercrime is the fastest growing categories of crime facing many nations. It is pervasive and epidemic, threating billions of computer users and causing damages worth in billions. Every year, the numbers of attacks are increasing in numbers and complexity. And as we become more reliant on information systems, our security and privacy are in increasingly constant threat of compromise. When planning online crime, cybercriminals employ different tactics for various reasons. Their intention can be stealing money, obtaining valuable data, or simply revenge. When the Internet was created, security was not taken into account. Most of the technologies we depend on today have no effective security. The security issues of the internet are due to software thinking everyone is playing by the rules. The design flaw allows cybercriminals to exploit and deliberately cause software to perform tasks that not designed to do. Identity theft, hacking, spamming, and digital piracy–––these are the few prevalent forms of cybercrimes. Identity theft is increasingly becoming a prevalent form of cybercrime. Cybercriminals misrepresent themselves by pretending to some else and use others personal information to open accounts or use accounts that already exist.

The Middle Ages : A Holy War Or Crusade Against Muslim Turks "Once there was time time when all people believed in God and the church ruled," doesn't George Bernard Shaw make it seem like life would seem simple in the middle ages. Everyone believing in the same ideas and practices. Although, it might not be that simple, back in the middle ages everyone believed the Christianity. The church unified its people from a once corrupt world. The people would devote countless hours of their lives to give back to the church. Above all, the feudal system was controlled by the church, including the all mighty kings. Christianity brought upon an age of faith throughout the middle ages. During the middle ages, there were many times where the church has called upon other nations to help fight against infidels, or enemies of the church. This would help other nations and the people of the church to help fight for a holy cause. One example is when Pope Urban II called for a holy war or crusade against Muslim Turks. "Your Brethren who live in the (Middle) East are in Urgent need of your help... For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania," the Pope is calling for the followers of the church to unite and fight against a common enemy (DBQ 1–13). The people in turn, joined forces and fought in Holy war or the first Crusade. This crusade also unified the Byzantine empire under the control of the Pope (Class Notes).

  • 11. Stouxnet Research Paper Stuxnet Virus According to counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, Stuxnet was a weaponized malware computer worm. Stuxnet was launched in mid–2009, it did major damage to Iran's nuclear program in 2010 and then spread to computers all over the world (Clarke, 2012). Type of Breach The Stuxnet is a computer worm, "it is a digital ghost with countless lines of code... it was able to worm its way into Iran's nuclear fuel enrichment facility in Natanz, Iran" (Clarke, 2012). A worm is a program that spreads copies of itself through a network and a worm can also spread copies of itself as a stand–alone program (Pfleeger & Pfleeger, 2007). How the Breach Occurred On June 17, 2010, Sergey Ulasen, head of a small computer security firm called ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... VirusBlokAda reported the vulnerability to Microsoft and Microsoft named the malware Stuxnet from a combination of file names (.stub and MrxNet.sys) found in the code (Zetter, 2011). One of the Stuxnet's driver files used a valid signed certificate stolen from RealTek Semiconductor, a hardware maker in Taiwan, in order to trick the systems into thinking the malware was a trusted program from RealTek (Zetter, 2011). Internet authorities quickly revoked the certificate. But another Stuxnet driver was found using a second certificate; this new certificate was stolen from "JMicron Technology, a circuit maker in Taiwan that was– coincidentally or not – headquartered in the same business park as RealTek" (Zetter, 2011). The experts said that the virus was designed to target Simatic WinCC Step7 software; which is an industrialcontrol system made by the German conglomerate Siemens. The system was used to program controllers that drive motors, valves and switches in everything from food factories and automobile assembly lines to gas pipelines and water treatment plants (Zetter, 2011). This happens to be the same software that was used at Natanz facility. The Stuxnet virus looked for industrial control systems and then altered the code in them to allow the attackers to take control of these systems without the operators knowing (The Stuxnet Worm: Symantec). In other words, the Stuxnet worm was designed to allow hackers to manipulate real–world equipment, which makes the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Threat of Hackers on the Internet Essay Research Critique The ability of the attackers to rapidly gain control of vast number of Internet hosts poses an immense threat to the overall security of the Internet (Staniford, Paxson & Weaver, 2002). Once compromised, these hosts can not only be used for massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, but also steal or corrupt great quantities of sensitive information by confusing and disrupting the network in more subtle ways (Honeynet, 2005). The attackers accomplish this task by sending an intrusion agent commonly known as В‘worm'. There are "two major types of malicious codes in the wild" (Todd, 2003, pp. 2). These codes are differentiated by their means of propagation: worms are self–replicating, self–propagating,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... First article that discussed self–replicating code within a C compiler appeared in 1984 by Thompson. Morris worm was launched in 1988, which had a devastating effect on the Internet (Todd, 2003). Most research conducted so far has focused on modeling and detection of the Internet worm propagation. However, the final objective of the research is containment and elimination of these worms, which has not received enough research (Zheng & Duan). This paper discusses the possible future network attack which will probably use an organized army of malicious nodes called malnets. These malnets are capable of delivering many different types of attacks. According to several researchers who are working on finding out how the malicious worms propagate on the internet the ground has already been set (Honeynet, 2005; Zheng & Duan; Geer, 2005; Staniford, Paxson & Weaver, 2002). However, "partly due to the lack of understanding of the resiliency and efficiency a malnet can have, countering malnets has been ineffective" (Li, Ehrenkranz & Kuenning, 2005). Placement of the article in the literature The paper is very recent and appeared in 2005. Since the paper has an interesting and unique topic both in security of the Internet and how distributed systems of malicious bots work it can be considered both as emerging seminal work ...

  • 13. Computer Virus And Its Effect On The Computer 1.Introduction Today, the term 'computer virus' is definitely not unfamiliar to most people. In the early 1980s, people started to gain awareness of Computer virus or Malware. However, it was only in 1987 that computer virus became prominent; especially to those in the press and trade industry. [1] Computer virus has evolved over the years – from the early days of Internet distributed Morris worm to remote access Trojans(RAT). Often not, a personal computer tends to be vulnerable to a virus attack. It was reported that an anti–virus company can receive tens and thousands of sample harmful executables from it users, be it a Trojans or viruses.

Malware – What is it Malware is a piece of program that is created with intent of causing harm to the receiver. Malware is also known as malicious software, malicious code and malcode. It contains the harmful intent of an attacker; example the attacker wants to hack into the victim computer to cause a Distributed Denial–Of–Service (DDoS).

Each time the word document program runs, the virus runs too and it has the chance to reproduce by attaching to other programs. (3) Nowadays, it is extremely important to be aware of viruses because they can cause very dangerous consequences such as identity theft and fraud.

Siegfried vs Beowulf Essay examples "Any relations in a social order will endure, if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality." –George William Russell Homer defines a hero as one who acquires and maintains honor through victory in battle while embracing a highly individualistic attitude. Homer's epic warriors were self–interested in order to preserve their honor and to acquire fame––the currency used by the hero to achieve immortality. Heroes of this archetype often show a neglectful disregard for the lives of their warriors and supporting cast. This is symptomatic of their obsession with acquiring honor over building relationships (Dunkle). But how can a hero protect his fame ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Following the structure of the Homeric hero, Beowulf's only concern is becoming king and dying gloriously in battle to get into Valhalla, a heaven reserved for the brave warriors who died fighting in combat. He is so blinded by his goals that he discounts the well–being of his men. This is exemplified in the scene where Beowulf recounts his battle with Grendel to King Hrothgar. He fails to mention that one of his men played the role of the sacrificial lamb, while the others assisted in defeating the beast–the whole process was a joint effort. However, for the 20 lines of his recount, he emphasizes how "pleased" he is with Grendel writhing from pain, beaten by his bare hands (Heaney line 957–977). He is insinuating that he alone is responsible for the creature's death. The only time the martyr is mentioned is when the chieftain gifting Beowulf's men reveals that "one man's daring prevented the doom [of killing more of the men]" (Heaney line 1056). This episode suggests that Beowulf is indifferent to the deaths of even those who are supposedly closest to him, as he remains emotionally undamaged while boasting about his defeat. His lack of sympathy disables him from creating a substantial bridge between him and his men. Siegfried, on the other hand, desires human interaction. Unlike Beowulf, he has an affinity for securing his relationships with others by developing strong loyalties ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 29. Henry Iv And Henry V By William Shakespeare In Henry IV and Henry V by Shakespeare, a father and son have diametrically different reigns as king. While both kings are politically savvy and gain the favor of the people, only one, Henry V, has the divine right of kings. The divine right of kings is the belief that power is instilled in them by God and rebellion against them is considered a sin. The influence of divine intervention is shown through the punishment and guilt of Henry IV and the success of Henry V. The rule of Henry IV illustrates the fate of one who seizes a crown that is not rightfully his by divine ordinance: a reign troubled with treason and uprisings. He does not have the right to rule because he has not obtained the crown through the law of primogeniture and therefore lacks the divine power imparted on those who gain the throne legitimately. Henry IV seems to have all of the right characteristics to be a successful king; however, he comes to the throne as an illegitimate ruler with the responsibility of the death of God's chosen king, Richard II, on his shoulders. These actions cause Henry IV to incur the wrath of God against him and to have a reign plagued with conflict; his ambitiousness and political intelligence cannot fight back against the divine punishment inflicted upon him. His divine punishment dictates that he will have no peace in his rule. The instability of England when Henry IV becomes king is foreshadowed by Carlisle: "In this seat of peace tumultuous wars / Shall kin with kin and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The infected machines can be used to further recruit new agents. We can outline those phases as Recruit, Exploit, Infect and Use. ATTACKAUTOMATION STRATEGY The attack automation strategy stands for how much of the DDoS attack does an attacker want to make automatic and how much to leave for manual control. The strategy depends on the degree of automation of the phases of the attack. There are three general automation degrees – Manual, Automated and Semi–Automated– which are explained as follows: oManual In that case, the hacker manually recruits machines by scanning remote ones for vulnerabilities, breaks their security mechanisms, installs the prepared attack code and then directs the attack. This type of a DDoS Attack has become really outdated since lately all the recruitment phase has been automated. Weak design consideration in terms of functionality and productivity. oSemi–Automated In the Semi–Automated DDoS attacks the DDoS "network" is made of a handler and an agent machine.

A computer virus is malicious software that infects a computer and then makes copies of itself, much like a biological virus. Before, viruses were spread through the use of floppy disks or USB flash drives. Nowadays, they are mainly spread through emails.

Trojan Yet another piece ofmalware is a trojan horse. This malware is much like the popular historical Trojan horse –– it appears like a gift, usually in the form of a useful software –– but carries dangerous software inside it.
