Concept of Aesthetics OVERVIEW Aesthetics is defined as an appreciation for beauty and a feeling of wonder. Teachers can help develop children’s aesthetic senses by involving them in the arts through introduction to works of art, music, dance, and literature. Children’s aesthetic sensibilities are enhanced by allowing them to explore their environment in a manner that encourages divergent thinking. In discussing art with children, basic elements such as line, color, form, space, and design are all appropriate. Teachers can create aesthetic opportunities in the classroom by providing children with materials, supplies, room décor, objects, books, visiting artists, and varied activities to stimulate their aesthetic sense. There are three basic ways to provide young children with developmentally appropriate aesthetic experiences in the early childhood program: Provide many opportunities to create art. Provide many opportunities to look at and talk about art. Help children become aware of art in their everyday lives. Developing children’s aesthetic sensitivity is important because it improves the quality of their learning and encourages the creative process. KEY TERMS aesthetic development — Teaching young children to appreciate art through everyday experiences, play, and conversations aesthetic experiences — Experiences involving an appreciation of the beauty of nature, the rhythm and imagery of music or poetry, or the qualities of works of art. aesthetic learning — Joining what one thinks with what one feels Aesthetics Movement — Movement in the world beginning in early 1800 and lasting the decade, emphasizing the “science of the beautiful” or the “philosophy of taste.” aesthetics — An appreciation for beauty and a feeling of wonder. It is a sensibility that uses the imagination as well as the five senses. aesthetic sense — One’s own specific taste or preference. art appreciation — Seeing and appreciating good artwork; learning to look at and learning to create visual arts art elements — Basic factors of art that can be used to describe art. These elements include color, line, form or shape, space, and design. balance — The principle of design that deals with visual weight in a work of art color/hue — The color name pattern — When a particular shape, color, or motif is repeated in a rhythmic way intensity — The varied color when a hue’s complementary color, the color opposite it on the color wheel, is added to the original color language of art — Expansion of the language of the early childhood classroom. The words of the language are the elements of art. line — A continuous mark on a surface multicultural aesthetics — A worldview of art which honors heritage, community, and tradition multimedia artwork — Integration of art such as walk-in sculpture environments; mixes of live dance and films; and art exhibitions with drama, where actors move into the audience to engage in the drama primary colors — Red, blue, and yellow.

Concept mapping, mind mapping and argument mapping: what are the differences and do they matter? Martin Davies Published online: 27 November 2010 � Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract In recent years, academics and educators have begun to use software mapping tools for a number of education-related purposes. Typically, the tools are used to help impart critical and analytical skills to students, to enable students to see relationships between concepts, and also as a method of assessment. The common feature of all these tools is the use of diagrammatic relationships of various kinds in preference to written or verbal descriptions. Pictures and structured diagrams are thought to be more comprehensible than just words, and a clearer way to illustrate understanding of complex topics. Variants of these tools are available under different names: ‘‘concept mapping’’, ‘‘mind mapping’’ and ‘‘argument mapping’’. Sometimes these terms are used synonymously. However, as this paper will demonstrate, there are clear differences in each of these mapping tools. This paper offers an outline of the various types of tool available and their advantages and disadvantages. It argues that the choice of mapping tool largely depends on the purpose or aim for which the tool is used and that the tools may well be converging to offer educators as yet unrealised and potentially complementary functions. Keywords Concept mapping � Mind mapping � Computer-aided argument mapping � Critical thinking � Argument � Inference-making � Knowledge mapping Introduction In the past 5–10 years, a variety of software packages have been developed that enable the visual display of information, concepts and relations between ideas. These mapping tools take a variety of names including: ‘‘concept mapping’’, ‘‘mind mapping’’ or ‘‘argument mapping’’. The potential of these tools for educational purposes is only now starting to be realised. M. Davies (&) University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC, Australia e-mail: [email protected] 123 High Educ (2011) 62:279–301 DOI 10.1007/s10734-010-9387-6 The idea of displaying complex information visually is, of course, quite old. Flow charts, for example, were developed in 1972 (Nassi and Shneiderman 1973) pie charts and other visual formats go back much earlier (Tufte 1983). More recently, visual displays have been used to simplify complex philosophical issues (Horn 1998). Formal ways of ‘‘mapping’’ complex information—as opposed to the earth’s surface, countries, cities and other destinations—began at least 30 years ago, and arguably even earlier. More recently, the use of information and computer technology has enabled information mapping to be achieved with far greater ease. A plethora of software tools has been developed to meet various information mapping needs. What do these tools do? What are their similarities and differences? What are their advantages and disadvantages? How precisely do t.

They the enterprise risk management should focus on how the health centre assures the quality of their service by the use of skilled staffs who conduct laboratory experiment when necessary to ascertain the actual diseases. These services are done at price consideration, or the clients can attack assets which can be used to settle the bill, which should be equivalent to the price consideration. These concepts relate to each other because enterprise risk management is all about proper control of finances thus for a health centre they, the concept in which they undergo transaction is through the treatment of clients which should be managed effectively and closely monitored to avoid losses. According to the kind of medication given to the client, there should be the amount that the client should pay for the financial stability of the health centre. The relationship between the concepts in the concept map and the idea to be discussed in the paper is how a hospital goes through until it can reach a point where it can demand payments. The paper is on finances management; thus, the need to show how financial transactions in a hospital are reached t point of declaring the.

Concept A The first concept that I appreciated in the.docx

patricke8

Concept A The first concept that I appreciated in the course is the sources of law. As Showalter (2017) explains, the sources of public law include the written constitutions, statutory enactments that legislative bodies such as state, federal, and local governments make, administrative rules and regulations, and judicial decisions. All these sources of law are useful in the understanding of the laws that govern the practice in a specific discipline, the penalties for breaching such laws, and similar cases that have been determined in court. My professional discipline is in business management. In this discipline, the legal framework is quite applicable to the alignment of business practices with the legal requirements of the profession. Consequently, as a business manager, I will be expected to understand the legal environment surrounding the operations of a company. For instance, in a healthcare organization, from a business or administrative perspective, the understanding of privacy laws or antitrust laws will be beneficial to the process of tuning the operations of the facility with the legal requirements. Where there are ambiguities, it would be useful to research judicial decisions to obtain the precedents existing for particular cases and issues. Concept B The second concept that I learned through the course is torts, particularly negligence. By definition, negligence is an act or failure to act that results in the harm of an individual. It is different from battery, which is an intentional act, in the sense that it emphasizes a person’s (respondent’s) duty of care, the breach of that duty in the process of dealing with a second party (the plaintiff), and the causation of injuries to the plaintiff resulting from the breach of duty (Furrow, Greaney, Johnson, Jost, & Schwartz, 2013). My discipline is business management. From the materials on torts, I have understood the concept of a legal person – an individual or entity – which underlies the discussion of negligence. The principle of legal personhood has enabled me to understand that both private persons and organizations have a duty of care to humanity, and the breach of that duty amounts to negligence if there is proof of the breach and its causation of an injury. Therefore, as a business manager, it would be upon me to understand the duty of care that I have to various persons and to develop policies to ensure that the organization upholds the duty in its operations. I would also be in a position to understand the acts of negligence performed by other legal persons against the business entity that I manage.

Concept Analysis (1,000 words). Deadline: 13:00, 11 March 2021. Concepts lie at the heart of any academic field, and IR is no exception. They help us make sense about the worldand provide a ‘bridge’ between our ideas and the real world. This module will be introducing you to a number of key concepts in IR – as well as some of the debates which swirl around these concepts. This assessment asks youto choose one of these key concepts, and undertake your own research in order to establish the various ways in which the concept is defined and used in the field of IR. You will need to identify and locate appropriate academic sources, engage critically with that material, and construct a piece of writing which conforms to academic conventions.Your analysis needs to be 1,000 words in length, and address the competing meanings of, and debates around, your chosen concept. It needs to be rooted in the field of IR and engage with academic texts which address or use the concept. The concept is globalisation. Your concept analysis should address the following aspects: ➢ Who are the main IR theorists who explore this topic ➢ What do they say about this concept? ➢ What are the connections between your chosen concept and other key concepts in IR In assessing the concept analysis, staff will consider the degree to which:▪ The student’s characterisation of the relevant concept is accurate ▪ The student has engaged with appropriate academic sources ▪ The student has considered a range of definitions, uses and perspectives relating to the concept▪ The analysis is logically and coherently structured ▪ The student has adhered to scholarly conventions in citing sources and producing a bibliography .

Concentration in the mobile operating systemsmarketMauri.docx

Concentration in the mobile operating systems market Maurizio Naldi Universitỳ of Rome Tor Vergata Department of Computer Science and Civil Engineering Via del Politecnico 1, 00133 Roma, Italy [email protected] Abstract. Concentration phenomena concern the ICT market. Though the regulatory action has been active mainly in the telecom network operators industry, even more significant worldwide concentration phenomena affect other industries. The market of mobile operating systems is analysed through two concentration indices to get a quantitative pic- ture of the current situation and its evolution over time: the Hirschman Herfindahl Index (HHI) and the Four-Firm Concentration Ratio (CR4). A strongly imbalanced oligopoly is shown to exist, where the four major operating systems take over 99% of the market, but the dominant operating system Android alone is installed on over 80% of the new devices. Keywords: Operating Systems; Concentration; Competition; HHI 1 Introduction Market structure and the presence of dominant operators (manufacturers and/or service providers) has been a significant field of activity in industrial policy since long [18]. An operator holding a very large share of the market, or even acting as a monopolist, may take advantage of its position and enforce unfair policies towards its customers, which in turn have little or no room to oppose. The attention for the appearance of dominant positions is at the root of the birth of a number of national anti-trust agencies, both at the national and superna- tional level [6], which enforce rules against anticompetitive agreements, abuses of dominant position as well as concentrations (e.g., mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures) which may create or strengthen dominant positions detrimental to competition. The issue is particularly delicate in ICT industries, where operators may often benefit of economies of scale, which would lead to a natural monopolistic structure as the most efficient one [15]. Noam has carried out a broad analysis of concentration phenomena in several ICT and ICT-related industries [13] [14]: – Books – Film – ISP ar X iv :1 60 5. 04 76 1v 1 [ cs .C Y ] 1 6 M ay 2 01 6 2 M. Naldi – Magazines – Multi- channel – Newspapers – Online News – Radio – Search Engines – TV – Wireless – Wireline In that survey, the highest HHI value is observed for search engines and is roughly 0.75, quite above the second highest value, which is 0.55 and pertains to the wireline telco market. However, the survey of [13] leaves out a market that has often been at the center of anti-trust disputes in recent years, which is the operating systems one. The most notable ones have been the U.S.A. vs Microsoft case for the Windows desktop operating system [4], and the very recent Statement of Objections raised by the EU vs Google for the mobile operating system Android [1]. In that Statement of Objections, the European Commission alleges that Google has b.

Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 33.1 March 2007: 75-85 Nervous Tracery: Modern Analogies between Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism Joseph C. Murphy Fu Jen Catholic University Abstract During the Gothic revivals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Gothic architecture shed the morbid associations attached to it in earlier periods and was admired for the aesthetic and theological vision that shaped its medieval development. The Gothic cathedral came to epitomize the wholeness of the Middle Ages and an impulse toward synthesis in theology as well as the arts. This essay surveys four Gothic revival texts that define a relationship between medieval Gothic architecture and Scholastic theology: John Ruskin’s essay “The Nature of Gothic” in The Stones of Venice (1851- 53); Henry Adams’ Mont Saint Michel and Chartres (1904); Wilhelm Worringer’s Form in Gothic (Formprobleme der Gotik, 1911); and Erwin Panofsky’s Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism (1951). In these widely read works, influential beyond the field of art history, the seemingly arcane analogy between the Gothic and the Scholastic becomes a proving ground for the projects of prominent intellectuals within distinct historical and cultural contexts. For each author, the meaning of the Gothic hangs in a particular balance between its tracery—that is, its naturalistic ornamental detail—and its larger structure: the balance between the concrete and the abstract, between multiplicity and unity, also achieved in Scholastic theology. Because their analogies between the Gothic and the Scholastic isolate distinct lines of force within these complex systems, Ruskin, Adams, Worringer, and Panofsky each identify different values there, revealing as much about the modern mind as about the medieval. The syntheses that their medieval forbears accomplished collectively in service of faith, these interpreters seek independently in service of their own cultural identity, aesthetic values, or intellectual coherence. Keywords Gothic architecture, Scholasticism, John Ruskin, Henry Adams, Wilhelm Worringer, Erwin Panofsky, Thomas Aquinas Concentric 33.1 March 2007 76 The Gothic style presents an interesting case of how the Middle Ages have persisted in Western history through the backward glances, sometimes leery, sometimes wistful, of subsequent periods. First arising in the seventeenth century as a derogatory term for the anti-classical, “barbarous” style adopted by European cathedral builders beginning in the twelfth century, the word “Gothic” became attached in the eighteenth century to a type of sensational narrative set in infelicitous buildings. During the Gothic revivals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Gothic architecture shed its morbid associations and was admired both for its aesthetic form and for the integral relationship of that form to a theological vision.

Con Should the United States government have bailed out the a.docx

Con: Should the United States government have bailed out the automobile industry? Introduction A. In 2009, the .“Big Three” (GM, Chrysler, and ford) were facing fmancial struggles. They were fuced with a decision: either try and work through their problem on their own by securing loans, or to go to the government for help. Of the Big Three, only Ford declined government assistance, having already secured a line ofcredit in 2006 by using all of their assets as collateral. GM and Chrysler filed for a managed Chapter 11 bankruptcy that was funded primarily through the U.S. Treasury using taxpayer money. This modified version ofChapter 11 bankruptcy that was implemented by the U.S. government appeared to have allowed these automakers to survive for the time being, but it came at the expense ofthe taxpayers and it did not address all ofthe problems that caused the Big Three’s issues in the first place. I. The Big Three’s poor managerial choices created their financial problems, and the taxpayers’ money shouldn’t be bailing them out. A. GM, Chrysler, and ford continued to focus on and mass produce large trucks and SUVs because of their higher profit margins despite a growing concern over increasing fuel prices between 2002-2007. 1. Research done by Thomas Klier of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago indicates that during the span of 2002-2007, “about 40 percent of the decrease in U.S. market share has been caused by the recent increase in the price of gaso line.” 2. More specifically, research done by Meghan Busse and F brian Zettlemeyer of Northwestern University and Christopher Knittle of UC Berkeley showed that through the period of 1999-2006, “a$1 increein goIinepricewiII decree the market share of cars in the least fuel efficient quartile (< 17.7 MPG) by 11.5%.... that a $1 increase in gasoline price will increase the market share of cars inthemofu effidentquatile(>24.3MR3) by 15.1%” B. They allowed legacy costs to build by continuing to give out large pension plans when foreign auto makers were switching to more realistically defined contribution plans (4OlKs) back in the $Os. 1. The average per-hour base salary ofa U.S. auto worker and a foreign auto worker were about the same ($28/hour in 2007) but each worker actually cost $73.21/hour compared to $44.17/hour of Japanese competitors, with the difference being the additional benefits promised. C. U.S. autornakers should have switched to defined contribution plans (4OlKs) in order to stay competitive and keep costs sustainable. 1. GM didn’t officially freeze their pension plans until February of2012. a. This meant that they would no longer contribute to the pension plans of workers who were promised them upon employment. Those employees would now receive 4OlKs (defined contribution plans), a change that should have been made decades ago to avoid current financial struggles. II. There was no market failure and the U.S. auto makei should have filed for traditional Chapter 11 bankrup.

computerweekly.com 10-16 September 2019 21 Industry experts believe blockchain is a technology that has the potential to affect the business of most IT profession-als in the next five years. Analyst Gartner has forecast that by 2023, blockchain will support the global movement and tracking of $2tn of goods and services. It is regarded by many industry watchers as a disrupting force in the financial world. A PwC global financial technology (fintech) survey found that 56% of respondents recognise the importance of blockchain. At the same time, however, 57% admit to being unsure about or unlikely to respond to this trend. Start witH tHe HaSH Blockchain is effectively a shared ledger between a group of people – for example, a group of companies that work together to produce a service or product. What makes blockchain different is the fact that the history of the changes – past transactions, for example – are immutable. Essentially, the historical entries become read-only and unchangeable. This is due to the fact that each blockchain entry relies on the hash – a computed value including part of a previous block as part of its hashing calculation for the current block. This means that if a previous block is somehow modified or corrupted, its hash value will change and therefore the values after that point become broken, making the tampering evident for all to see. One example where blockchain technology can be used is where several companies come together to provide or consume Blockchain: hype vs reality Regarded by many as a disruptive force in finance and beyond, blockchain technology presents a number of complex challenges that must be overcome before it can truly deliver on its promises.

Fifty-one preteens spent five days at an overnight nature camp where television, computers and mobile phones were not allowed; this group was compared with school-based matched controls (n = 54) that retained usual media practices. Both groups took pre- and post-tests that required participants to infer emotional states from photographs of facial expressions and videotaped scenes with verbal cues removed. Change scores for the two groups were compared using gender, ethnicity, media use, and age as covariates. After five days interacting face-to-face without the use of any screen-based media, preteens’ recognition of nonverbal emotion cues improved significantly more than that of the control group for both facial expressions and videotaped scenes. Implications are that the short-term effects of increased opportunities for social interaction, combined with time away from screen-based media and digital communication tools, improves a preteen’s understanding of nonverbal emotional cues. � 2014 The Authors.

G., e 10.1016/j.chb.2012.03.025 a b s t r a c t One of the primary aims of higher education in today’s information technology enabled classroom is to make students more active in the learning process. The intended outcome of this increased IT-facilitated student engagement is to foster important skills such as critical thinking used in both academia and workplace environments. Critical thinking (CT) skills entails the ability(ies) of mental processes of discern- ment, analysis and evaluation to achieve a logical understanding. Critical thinking in the classroom as well as in the workplace is a central theme; however, with the dramatic increase of IT usage the mechanisms by which critical thinking is fostered and used has changed. This article presents the work and results of critical thinking in a virtual learning environment. We therefore present a web-based course and we assess in which parts of the course, and to what extent, critical thinking was perceived to occur. The course contained two categories of learning modules namely resources and interactive components. Critical thinking was measured subjectively using the ART scale. Results indicate the significance of ‘‘interactivity’’ in what students perceived to be critical-thinking-oriented versus online material as a resource. Results and opportunities that virtual environments present to foster critical thinking are discussed. � 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction One of the primary aims of higher education in today’s information technology (IT) enabled classroom, is to make students more active in the learning process (Ibrahim & Samsa, 2009). The intended outcome of this increased IT-facilitated student engagement is to foster important skills such as critical thinking. Given the importance of information technology for critical thinking in learning, it is vital that we understand better the associated key factors related to: background of students, beliefs, perceptions and attitudes and associated anteceden.

Computers can be used symbolically to intimidate, deceive or defraud victims. The basic law that protects our privacy is the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which mandates that people have a right to be secure in homes and against unreasonable search and seizure. What law(s) have been enacted to protect individuals at the state or federal government? Does these protection laws vary from state to state? .

Computers are often used to make work easier. However, sometimes computers can make work more difficult especially with poorly implementation. SOX is an important example of a poorly implemented database that has encountered. A database should have its specific intentions as much as data organization and management always exist as general functions. The SOX database implemented in 2011 was put in place to combat fraud by coming up with efficient accounting audit and management of financial records. I think the developers failed to include technical aspects of fraud control into the system. They instead targeted the visible crimes leaving very many holes for exploiting the SOX system (Anand et al., 2014). The database seems vague from IT perspective. The database constitutes only two sections of codes relating to IT. These two sections merely meet the standards for testing IT sufficient auditing compliance by organizations. The database seems to be far off the role of fostering sufficient auditing process for these organizations. Since inception, most audit companies struggle to figure out the IT protective aspects of the database. It seems that the developers mainly focused on the guidelines in using financial systems in preventing frauds but rather forgot the IT aspect if reducing the vulnerability of the system. For so many years, the database has failed to meet the technical roles of a database in system management and accounting regulation which are the critical reason why it was created. The SOX guidelines seem to forget about pertinent technical aspects of the system function (Cinarkaya et al., 2017). The solutions to the mistake that was done are conducting technical analysis and installing appropriate fixing. Ideally, the database should target electronic management and safety of data rather than physical data management. This mistake of poorly implemented gave a false impression of database management in many companies that adopted the type of database in early days. From physical outlook, one could see that things are alright yet some technical rot was brewing within the system. It is clear that the developers of the SOX database missed some point while deriving and implementing the database and this should be fixed to enhance the computer-based operations (Anand et al., 2014).

Computer Science Terms Need To know About Have you ever spent time with a group of computers or IT professionals talking about the store? Terms like "LAN", "RAM" and "bandwidth" entered the conversation and you had no idea what that meant. It can be a little intimidating to hear all that tech jargon thrown around. But don't let a small language barrier stop you from enrolling in computer science terms . Just because you're new to the game doesn't mean you need to be left out of the conversation. With a little preparation, you can impress your classmates on the first day of school with your computer know-how. To get you started, we've compiled this basic list of computer terms you should decode before setting foot in class. Brush up on this common vocabulary and you'll be up to speed with your tech friends' conversations in no time. 25 computer terms you need to know Each industry has its own jargon, and computing is no exception. Become familiar with these 25 computer terms to impress your classmates and teachers from day one. 1. Analog Analog technology is any part of the technology that does its job without processing numbers electronically like a computer does. You might think of analog as "old school" technology, like movie cameras or tape recorders. 2. Bandwidth This term refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted or processed, wirelessly or over a wired connection. Internet services will advertise high speeds measured in bandwidth, so it is a well known component of the IT world. 3. Big data Big data is a quick way to refer to the huge amounts of data that companies collect on a daily basis. Businesses face a number of big data management challenges, especially when it comes to analytics and security. 4. Bit Bit stands for "binary binary", the smallest piece of information used by a computer. Each piece is 1 or 0, which are binary numbers that make up a computer language. Pieces are literally the foundation on which computing is built. Because they are so small, computer wizards require basic technology to think of pieces on a larger scale: Byte = 8 beats Kilobytes = 1024 bytes Megabytes = 1024 kilobytes Gigabytes = 1024 megabytes 5. Bugs A bug is a programming error that causes wisdom or unexpected problems for the end user of a program. 6. Cloud storage Cloud storage is another way to store data in the physical memory of a computer. Information stored "in the cloud" is stored on remote servers that can be accessed anywhere over the Internet. 7. Code Code refers to various programming languages used to create, modify or manage computer programs or applications. Most computer science students specialize in a handful of programming languages depending on the career they would like to pursue. 8. Control panel Just as it sounds, the control panel is a tool that allows you to change or modify the program's settings as it looks or behaves. 9. CPU CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, which i.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Techniques Chapter 6 6-1 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 1 Types of Attacks Hacking Unauthorized access, modification, or use of an electronic device or some element of a computer system Social Engineering Techniques or tricks on people to gain physical or logical access to confidential information Malware Software used to do harm 6-2 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Hacking Hijacking Gaining control of a computer to carry out illicit activities Botnet (robot network) Zombies Bot herders Denial of Service (DoS) Attack Spamming Spoofing Makes the communication look as if someone else sent it so as to gain confidential information. 6-3 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Forms of Spoofing E-mail spoofing Caller ID spoofing IP address spoofing Address Resolution (ARP) spoofing SMS spoofing Web-page spoofing (phishing) DNS spoofing 6-4 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Why is there spoofing? Well its because the perpetrator of the fraud wants you to think that they are someone else that you’d trust. For example: E-mail spoofing, allows you to think that the e-mail you received is from someone you know. This type of attack is often combined with a social engineering technique called phishing. For example, perpetrators will send an e-mail spoofing the senders address from your bank. Inside the e-mail they will embed a link which they hope you will click on it and use your login and password basically giving them access to your bank account. Caller ID spoofing will display the wrong number on your phone hoping that you think it’s from a trusted source (e.g., Bank). IP address spoofing is used to conceal the identity of a sender of DoS attacks. ARP spoofing allows for man in the middle as well as DoS attacks. ARP spoofing can allow the perpetrator to “sniff” the data that is coming over the Internet. Sniffing means that the perpetrator can see the data as it is passing from the source to the intended destination over the Internet. SMS spoofing is falsifying the sender of a text message (it can also be used in phishing scams). 4 Hacking with Computer Code Cross-site scripting (XSS) Uses vulnerability of Web application that allows the Web site to get injected with malicious code. When a user visits the Web site, that malicious code is able to collect data from the user. Buffer overflow attack Large amount of data sent to overflow the input memory (buffer) of a program causing it to crash and replaced with attacker’s program instructions. SQL injection (insertion) attack Malicious code inserted in place of a query to get to the database information 6-5 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 5 Other Types of Hacking Man in the middle (MITM) Hacker is placed in between a client (user) and a host (server) to read, modify, or steal data.
